I can't test till next weekend! Feels ages away!

Daisychain44 · 24/08/2013 15:14

jellybeandavey I 'm testing Monday too and scared as every month I've caved in and tested, AF arrives the same freaking day!

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 14:12

International - I know exactly how you feel. I get fed up too and I wish I didn't feel that way but I do. I did all I possibly could to conceive this month so if it doesn't work, the realisation that this truly is beyond my control is going to hit hard.

internationallove985 · 24/08/2013 14:02

Hi Vjones I'm not going to tell you not get dis heartened if you do get a B.F.N this month. God there's no-one worse than me when the witch arrives and yes it sounds terrible but I get fed up saying congratulations to all the B.F.P's. Infact my last A.F I didn't go near the conception thread as I felt like I was the only one who people were not congratulating (the only one with a B.F.N). I know that's not the case but on my period my thoughts are far from rational. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, xx
Jelly bean Davey. I'll also keep my fingers crossed for you. xx

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 13:46

Jelly - I'm scared too because I just know I'm gonna be gutted

JellyBeanDavey · 24/08/2013 13:21

I have had an achey tummy all weeks just a dull ache though. And just now (on my lunch) I had to stop eating my lunch cos I didn't want to eat and felt a little light headed. Weird.

I'm only 7dpo. I'm going to test Monday but I have my doubts. I'm actually scared to test.

wispaxmas · 24/08/2013 12:35

So much for achy thighs being a good sign. I really need to follow my own advice and stop symptom spotting and wishful thinking, if it happened it happened and if not there's nothing to do about it (yet).

Writerwannabe83 · 24/08/2013 12:29

Gilly - how strange and confusing!!!

I hope you're at a Supermarket and buying a Clear Blue.... Grin

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 12:20

Haha I like your thinking jelly! Im gunna try hold off until Tuesday. Hopefully Af will stay away!

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 24/08/2013 12:11

I am impatient so would probably digi rocky! However, if I totted up what I've spent on pregnancy tests over the last three months I could have bought some really nice shoes...and I'd still be pregnant!

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 11:33

The last 6 or so have been 28 on the dot. However before that I was probably 30 to 32!

Bloumermaid · 24/08/2013 11:14

m33r hang in there! I'm sure it must be really frustrating but it sounds like you're doing all the right things. It must be extra hard having long cycles. How long are they? Are they at all predictable? Are you using opks or charting your cycle in any way?
Keep your chin up hon Flowers

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 24/08/2013 11:09

gilly something is happening for you this month. I hope it develops into a proper bfp but either way I think it's promising. Your hormones could be all disrupted by the nightshifts so maybe now they're done you might get a good line.

rocky how long are your cycles usually?

MrsB2013 · 24/08/2013 11:00

Gilly I also think you should go for a digi!

I poas this morning for the first time ever and it was bfn. First month off the pill so not really expecting anything to happen yet

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 10:48

Ooh, it's all go on here! Wish I could put my 'symptoms' down to something but am only 4/5 dpo :( I have a raised temperature (or I feel hot in my core all the time) and feel sick.

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 10:42

hmmm what should I do girls? Go buy a cb digi and POAS in the morning (CD31) or should I wait a few more days.... tried last wed n it was a bfn with an ic.

DisneyDiva87 · 24/08/2013 09:59

I think you should whip out a digi as well gilly. It won't be a waste cause you've been getting positives on the cheapies so even if the digi is negative at least it will put your mind at rest. Although that would be the most annoying (understatement) thing ever!

I didn't even get a hint of a line on my test his morning except the one I imagined but then I'm only 7dpo or thereabouts.

Nulanoo · 24/08/2013 09:54

I'm supposed to be on September bus too but I keep coming back as I love reading about all the bfps!! I have lots of symptoms that I could make fit with pregnancy or anything else really for that matter! I'm so tired but that's probably as I'm off work doing not much at all! I'm also really bad at working out the difference between abdominal pains, sometimes I just think I'm hungry/bored!!
Happy long weekend all :) :) :)

impatientlywaiting · 24/08/2013 09:53

Wispax, I googled achey thighs when I got it this month and the Posts I read said in no uncertain terms that it wasn't a symptom. I think it def is for me though (had stomach aches like from crunches at the same time) as both months I had done no exercise at all and a few days later had BFPs.

Tea1Sugar · 24/08/2013 09:49

Gilly I keep logging on to check your updates! Maybe the ic just don't darken. Wack out a cb digi. I'll send you a tenner just so my own suspense will be dealt with!!

wispaxmas · 24/08/2013 09:38

Achy thighs is a symptom?? I've had massively achy thighs for the last 3-4 days, like I'd been doing some major cycling, when all I've done is walk the dog like normal.. Damnit, getting my hopes up again!

DisneyDiva87 · 24/08/2013 09:32

This morning I was woken up by hubby doing something very strange with the duvet, I don't know what he was doing but he was pulling on it and then the dog fell off he bed onto the floor. I picked him up and put him back in bed. I then fell asleep again and when I woke up and mentioned it to hubby he has no recollection of it. Which is odd cause he is a lighter sleeper than me. I can't tell if it was a dream or not. I had loads of other dreams last night as well so I'm just wondering. It really odd for me to remember so many dreams! Fingers crossed or POAS this morning

(I'm not even meant to be on this bus!)

ImaginaryHat · 24/08/2013 09:30

Oh gilly, how confusing. If I was you I think I'd try and leave it for a couple of days then if af doesn't come then test again. Still don't think you're out yet though!

cotton from what I've read on here it sounds like it v v rare to get a false positive. As others have said, because it's v early days your levels wont be v strong yet. Maybe try again later as three suggests, fingers crossed for you Flowers

dutchss youre in the ultimate 2ww limbo, nothing to suggest except wait and try again later/tomorrow unhelpful. Just wanted to wish you good luck!

dutchss · 24/08/2013 09:24

I'musing Internet cheapies. Want toget a cb one x

dutchss · 24/08/2013 09:14

I'm a day late now(normallyveryregular)and no bfp either though! Confused and want to know!!!
