Positive July Please!

scratching head trying to think of correct answer to that one lol/

I hope you mean 'the food' 'the hpt's' in that order Becky...

no definitely not just you coggy anything half finished in cupboard, or unused, food or the bloody tests, sort of beam signals to me 'eat me' 'pee on me' they cry..

I was like that a couple of months ago coggy (after the aforementioned 'pregnancy with period' thread).

You're not barmy - you just want this a lot.

I'm very sternly telling myself to wait until at least Wednesday until I test. I should be telling myself to wait at least a week, but frankly that's about as pointless as making new years resolutions.

My boobs are significantly bigger this afternoon. Bra-bulging in fact. This has happened before, but now my aureoles have got bigger too. This is new.

Another new symptom to taunt me? We shall see.

Coggy I keep a pack of cheap opks in the bathroom so when I have a manic desire to pee on a stick I use them- seems I just need something that'll give me a line even if neg!

Choc bisc aren't safe either.

Hey all, sorry about the dodgy tum HC - not related to the awfully late in the evening BBQ I hope!? Hang on in there!
Becky, I agree with the others, that it is pretty early to test, so don't get too down about it all.
Coggy, what have you been up to????

Let's just say......I can't leave things in cupboards without thinking about them obsessively!!

It could be chocolate biscuits, peanuts or pregnacy tests!!!!!

I can't be the only mad one surely??!!

hey coggy

sounds intriguing

do tell

I'm not even going to admit what I did today!!

.............CD10......self control......

dodgy tum? bad luck, sip some lemonade

i know re nips, i coudlnt drive over road bumps last month and had never had that

jut complicated by not having had a cycle without pill or iud in years for me, and not sure of this month length. or ovulation date, or if i ovulated even.

just totally confused.

I'm alright. Dodgy tummy just set in, obviously taking my hope to absurd new levels.

Your BFN may well be a false negative you know - early to test. If you started on June 2nd, you're on CD25, and if your cycles are around 30 days then Saturday is when you get your '99% accuracy' claimed on the packets (yeah, right).

Doc friend of mine waited 2 weeks to test both times. How? How? How?

Had a bit of nipple pain this afternoon, but I appear to be getting that every month.

Sigh.

Not long 'til Wednesday. I am an adult. Delayed gratification and all that.

Sigh.

hey HC

angelic, no chance but the gp made me do it.

dh got stressy about veins.. looked it up and saw link with deep vein thrombosis.. i had a small one about 6 yrs ago. ANYWAY, went to docs who refused to do blood test, said 'most people buy tests you know' (i made out i was fairly new to that scene). anyway, little enocuragement needed.

went and bought a sodding unichem one.. doesnt even state its sensitivity i now realise, and BFFN (guess what the other f is for). bloody gp and he ketp touching my knee.

so i will be angelic from now. with a lot of fffing. :-)

hw r u doing HC?

Hi wannabe - nice to hear from you. . Glad to hear your DH has decided to have his swimmers tested. Weight off your mind?

I know my posts sound (?) calm, but in fact I'm swinging wildly between being convinced I'm PG, and equally convinced that it's never going to happen.

Bi-polar? Moi?

SOL - we BDed from CD6 this time round - even though I still had some spotting. Was determined to cover all bases this time.

Becky - are you going to be angelic and wait to test?

hiya all

Just a quick hello really.

HC will keep fingers crossed for you this month. No simptoms doesn't mean no pregnancy - I had no simptoms with ds hence why I didn't find out till I was 6 weeks gone.

Well am on cd9, dh had apt at gp today. Just gave him a pot etc so dh will do that at some point and then hopefully we'll have an answer there as well.

Hope everyone else is ok?

yes paws crossed for you hopecat

remem all those posts about no symptoms resulting in pregnancy.

i'm just a hypochondriac at best of times so this stuff brings out worst in me lol

enjoy your bd'ing SOL ..
b x

Hi HC, not started bd'ing again yet. AF nearly gone, so we can crack on with it! DH chomping at the bit, bless him!
Fingers crossed for you.xx

Good luck Becky: fingers crossed for you.

I'm due on Wednesday (normally have 27 day cycle) but I occasionally run to 30 days.

We'll see.

Are you BDing again yet SOL? (V. personal question).

We drive ourselves mad don't we!
When we conceived dd (now 3) we only bd'd twice and I fell pg, so who knows. Now I am bding lots and it doesn't seem to work!
I will still keep my fingers crossed for you.

hi SOL

yeah in theory but i'm just not in touch with natural cycle as had iud for 3 years and before that pill etc. last af was 1/2 june, think cycle is 30 days, but will only be 2nd month post IUD.

add in fact that only bd'd 3 days (11,12,13 of this month) & that my ovu kit showed a double LH line identical over one whole week plus

.. am sure i'll be here next month & i'm just building up for a big horrible AF. (prob just been standing in funny light & ate too much cake)

tks for your encouraging words tho :-)

Hi Becky, that all sounds very promising! So what CD are you on today then? How much longer do you have to hold out??

hi hopecat, bbq lucky you

veins ... and feeling sicky, mega sense of smell. oh and peeing tons in day and at night too. but am totally expecting af on day 29 or 31 whichever it is. not going to test as setting myself up for a major fall by even thinking about this.

hope you are okay and hang on in there

hang on in there everyone too. happy monday
becky

Thanks SOL - bbq was lovely.

Just feel normal, really - although I have got a lot of water retention. I always get that before AF, so it means nothing.

Haven't got any feelings either way this month. If I get AF/BFN I'll be gutted, but I just have to stay open to the possibility.

CD26 today.

Anyone else have any news/symptoms?

Hi HC, how was the BBQ? We tend to eat from 8.30 onwards tbh and we have a dd (aged 3) She doesn't go to bed until 7.30/8.00 so difficult to eat earlier.
So,how are you feeling?
I am keeping everything crossed for you my dear.
xx

You lot are funny.

It obviously is a lot warmer here - we've still got the back door open now.

We did watch BB while the meat was cooking - not missing that! V. funny watching Nicky having a hissy fit about her fake tan being scrubbed off.

We tend to eat at about 9 each night as we both often wotk late. One of the many things that's likely to change if we have a babbie I s'pose.

Hi ladies, back in the loop now after a weekend away at the inlaws!
Wrighty, I am sorry to hear you are hanging about with late af and bfn's - I can imagine it must be v frustrating.
Hopecat and PR - hope you can maintain the chilled-ness that you seem to be managing during the 2 week wait. V late for a BBQ I must agree - esp on a school night! God I am sad.
Coggy, glad you got your BB intake. We missed it as on the road home, so am going to have to check the website for a update. Where do you live in Devon? I used to live in Exmouth for 10 years, years ago!
