Hey guys, hope everybody is good. Am 2 days late now so is looking more promising but no symptoms except some light cramping (which could be AF). Don't want to POAS and burst my bubble as it should show by now if I were wouldn't it? X

Pebble, I dernt buy a good one till I'm sure. What pill was you on?

Last month was my first off, that's why I'm going by 27days &short lp. I never remember it being longer than 28 days. Pill give me mid cycle bleeding every month, was on mycrogynon.

Hope they're God signs Jo x

Treaclepie19 · 01/02/2014 23:12

Good luck everyone testing!

I am already symptom spotting and only around 4dpo.
Exhausted and got terrible hip/back pain :( feel sock also. Hope I'm not getting ill!

Jo178 · 01/02/2014 23:11

I've had no willpower and tested twice today though only with ics! Both bfn. Hmm Feeling horrid, crampy, nauseous and the weird spotting has continued on and off but only really watery brown. CD32, 12dpo.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/02/2014 23:06

You may have released 2 eggs smor'.

I'm gonna test wed too bellaboo, that's if AF doesn't get me first, feeling crampy already....

happygoluckyinOz · 01/02/2014 22:52

Ahh this thread moves so quickly overnight! Smile

Sounds like I'm not the only one in the 2ww - 8dpo today and using all my will power not to start poas! Temp has shot back up today after the dip yesterday... So I'm thinking that's a good sign of implantation? Who knows, first cycle so I have nothing to compare it to!

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 22:14

Well after reading your post about ICs not being very sensitive/reliable I had a look st the amazon reviews. Even some of the good reviews say they only show a positive on the day of AF or after. Thinking of getting a frer tomorrow. But then another part of me thinks if I am pg just waiting longer won't make it less true.

I'm now CD 30. As I came off the pill in Oct my cycles aren't necessarily back to regular yet. Last complete cycle was 33 days but that's the only thing to go on.

Wishing you all the good BFP karma in the world. X

bellaboo88 · 01/02/2014 22:06

Nope bfn....think it was a did anyway, was pink underneath till halfway.

Only 2ics left & £shop x1

No more testing now, waiting for AF....if I get to Wednesday then I'll test. Wed would b cd33/16dpo which isn't that bad really. Just me expecting another 27 day cycle. I just want it that badly! X

smorgasborgen · 01/02/2014 20:51

its a bit confusing as I had a positive opk on Thurs, less bold yesterday but then bold again today. I know we should tonight but he's out and I have t b at work for quarter t seven tomorrow morning! I know in my head DTD tomorrow prob won't b too late but we have put in so much effort it would b a shame t mess up now! but theoretically bfp due around the fourteenth fifteenth! Grin

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/02/2014 20:03

So so so sad but I did a test yesterday just in case, obviously it was neg. and yes, despite having a grand ol' time & boogeying away like a travolta wannabe it's was always in my mind! My feet are still sore lol!

How long for you smorgasborden?

smorgasborgen · 01/02/2014 19:41

glad u had fun at the wedding. I bet it was in your head the whole time! not long t go for u now..Smile

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/02/2014 19:30

Hi all, sounds like there are a few potential bfps's on here. The 2ww kills me! We'll I enjoyed some drinks at the wedding and had a fantastic time. Still only 10 dpo, yawn.......

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 18:56

Any joy bellaboo?

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 17:54

I'm quite please with that. Holding onto the dream of it being a false negative - better than a definite negative ;) We dtd a lot at the right times so not much more I could have done. I'll be really pissed off it was all in vain. As much as I love dtd with my DP I was a bit regimental about it this month so want to have completed my mission.

I'm sticking to fmu. Don't want to waste more tests on weak pee. Plus I'm going to enjoy my first night of being able to drink after Dry January - pee will be diluted. No more abstaining until definite BFP.

bellaboo88 · 01/02/2014 17:29

Jo + retro, deffo 11/12 club!

Pebble...I'm googling like crazy but it seems 10miu might not be that great after all....apparently they're more likely to false/negative therefore 20miu more stable. I've got a pound shop ready in waiting but it doesn't say its miu!?

Its really getting to me today. Saving up my pee, 45min countdown to my next poas! God give me a signal or my period pleeasee!! Cd29.

KittyVonCatsington · 01/02/2014 17:14

Came back from the Reflexology appointment feeling totally relaxed! I didn't say straight away I was TTC but then she asked where I was in my cycle and the fact I could tell her exactly, she guessed! She said she asked as that would determine how hard she pressed on my ankles as it isn't a good idea to do it too hard if pregnant. I felt tingly all over during the session and she said she worked extra hard on my ovaries! Come on body - do me proud this month!!!!

Demi123 · 01/02/2014 15:30

Thank you for ur reply mummy :)

RetroHippy · 01/02/2014 15:26

Lets start an 11/12 dpo club!! I've got the 10mu internet cheapies, and so far a big fat nuffin. Sad

I was going to wait till 10dpo but I've actually been testing since day 6 Blush this is my punishment for being impatient!

Got a pulling feeling in my uterus now, but no spots or boob pain this month which is unusual and quite a welcome change!

Jo178 · 01/02/2014 14:35

Bella I feel your pain! My poundshop tests are long cracked open. 12dpo today like you, feeling rubbish and still bfn!

missmrsmummy · 01/02/2014 14:24

He actually thought buying manuka honey or having reflexology was unnecessary so no wonder he is freaked out by the cups, tee hee he!

missmrsmummy · 01/02/2014 14:22

You're welcome Kitty!

I have informed him that soft cups exist and he made it clear that they are a step too far. What he doesn't know is that I have bought a pack, tried one last night and am fully intending to pop one in after every bd session! Wish there was a [evil cackle] emoticon!

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 13:59

bella I feel your madness don't worry!

I thought 10miu is meant to be mega sensitive. I'm using them too. Will keep testing each day like a woman posessed!

bellaboo88 · 01/02/2014 13:35

Thx mum....I'm now tempted to crack open my pound shop poas...10miu ic not showing anything. Because I have a short lp I thought I'd know by now, I'm impatient :-(

13dpo tomorrow. Poorly tummy still (tmi sorry!).

Fed up of googling for ours on end, first proper cycles turning me into a crazy woman!!!

mum2kiss · 01/02/2014 13:34

No pebble I didnt test before 12dpo

and it took a good 5 mins for those faint.positives to show.up!

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 13:16

mum were you testing before 12dpo? I'm 10/11dpo now and still BFN.clutching at straws and being impatient!
