Oh no I didnt realise you were alone!! But what a surprise that would be for your dp.

I like tomorrow mornings idea and I really hope AF doesn't show! It's not welcome!!!

Some people don't get lines for weeks after they are late

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 19:41

Well in that case I have now made it past longest cycle if when I wake up I'm still AF free I am going to test. :) I'm soooo wishing for a line!

Thanks for listening to my obsessing! oh god I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.. If I get a bfn.. It still doesn't mean it's over until AF shows, that's always true no matter how many DPO you are.. Right??

Thank you both for helping me just about get past nerves to excitement :)

Will let you both know as soon as I've done it my dp is away so I will be alone!

woodwaj · 28/11/2013 19:24

That makes sense and vickys right you know what you would find more upsetting.

Id defo wait till your longest cycle and if you make it that's fab x

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 19:10

What makes it more confusing is that last month I got my hopes up as I was '5 days late' but that's when I had my first ever 35 day cycle so I figured I must of Ovd later than I thought..

This month I know I Ovd CD17 as used opks and today marks CD35 I think I've been telling myself that until I got through today I wasn't going to let myself believe I was late as last month was 35 days.. Even though my app says I was due on tues..

Make any sense???

Vickyvix · 28/11/2013 19:03

Ah it's tough isn't it. I think only you know if seeing a Negative would be too disheartening. Mull it over tonight and see how you feel in the morning. Remember though, every day that you hold off testing and that AF stays away, is a day closer to getting a much stronger positive result if this is your time.

I'm kind of thinking, that most people who knew AF was 5 days late would be thinking about testing!! Whether they were ttc or not.....

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 18:58

Oh gawd you two are making me desperate to test! I tested at 12 and 14dpo and was so disappointed I've just been waiting for AF telling myself I could test at the Friday poas party if it didn't show but now I've made it (nearly) to Friday I'm suddenly scared of seeing a bfn as my hopes are all up again! I know I probably don't make any sense I'm just turning into a crazy symptom spotting dreaming of seeing a line Mad woman!

Vickyvix · 28/11/2013 18:52

Argh fat fingers, have = haven't

Vickyvix · 28/11/2013 18:51

broody 19dpo?!??! and you have tested?? beware I am a total POAS addict

This sounds super positive :)

Are you not joining the Friday POAS party?

BFN at 14dpo doesn't mean BFN at 19dpo.

Totally understand you wanting to wait for AF to show, but if you've got to 19dpo how long are you going to wait?? She might not how up for more than 9 months Grin

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 18:08

You are right I am totally on knickerwatch OF COURSE I desperately want to test but only for a bfp! Grin

..I do have a frer in the drawer
eeeeeek what if it's bfn though like last week?at least every time there is no af I am positively suprised!

What would you do wood ?

woodwaj · 28/11/2013 17:55

Sorry :( I was thinking about myself and my promise to wait for AF But then I remembered last month when I was popping to the loo every 30 mins to see if it was there. Which torture is the least painful? ?

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 17:48

haha wood!!!!! you aren't helping me keep calm and rational!

woodwaj · 28/11/2013 17:32

I don't want you to test im lying and I think you should

im so nervous for you!

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 17:31

Yep strange cramps/twinges all day boobs feel sore and swollen if I wasn't ttc I'm sure I'd just be thinking Oh it's been a while since last AF it'll be here any day... Instead I'm thinking Ok tomorrow is cd36 never had a cycle that long and it's 19dpo but surely I would of had a trace of a bfp at 14dpo.. aghhh!!!

woodwaj · 28/11/2013 17:03

Its good and its bad, they pay me, but then I feel like im giving them all my money back as well!!

ooh fingers crossed broody, any more cramps etc?

broodysnoopstie · 28/11/2013 16:47

hello ladies wood I want your job that sounds fab :) I asked my boss if we'd be decorating he just looked at me like I was an imbecile!

hi one nice to hear from you

still no af here vicky was going to test tomorrow but then again I might hold off I don't think I can bear the disappointment of a bfn

Vickyvix · 28/11/2013 15:38

Hi one good to hear from you. I'm throwing myself into chrimbo prep too, bring on December! We are Christmas tree shopping this weekend :) Hoping DH doesn't realise what a fortune I have spent on new tree decorations....will have to cut all the labels off and take the 'what, this old thing?' approach Grin

Sweet tooth still going strong, obsessed by fruit pastilles! But, pleased to report the candy canes arrived on Tuesday and the box is still sealed.

Good luck to you both, definitely think the laid back approach of not counting days will be good, I will have my fingers crossed for you.

wood your work sounds amazing! I would love a Christmas Market to come visit us. Hope you're enjoying the festivities.

broody hope AF has stayed away

onelifeonechance · 28/11/2013 07:46

OMG Wood, that sounds amazing!!!! Are there any jobs going at your place?!?! Enjoy! Grin

woodwaj · 28/11/2013 07:25

Hi one life its a good idea to chill out over xmas I wish I could do it!!

Im about half way through mine but again I'll just wait for AF.

my work have organised their own xmas markets today. Local supplier's are coming in you can pre order your xmas food and theres a hog roast. Think there are gifts too. Should be good!! No mention of mulled wine though

onelifeonechance · 28/11/2013 07:04

V - loving the sweet tooth, you go girl! You're preggers at the right time, Christmas candy all over the place!!!

Im somewhere in 2ww, not counting days, distracting myself with chrimbo prep. Enjoy the festivities ladies Smile

woodwaj · 27/11/2013 20:49

broodysnoopstie · 27/11/2013 20:44

Vickyvix · 27/11/2013 20:09

Hope AF doesn't show up broody I have my fingers crossed for you!

broodysnoopstie · 27/11/2013 19:12
