Barmy I've heard sainsburys ones aren't very good cuz of the dye, and also I used one a few months back and it showed a faint positive when I wasn't pregnant. I try stick to frer or super drug now.
I'm still clutching my seat on this bus, cd23 today about 9/10 dpo. Still having the cramping and lots of milky type cm (sorry tmi). Holding off testing for as long as I can Confused
Trying to stay positive and my poor dh is so excited and convinced this is our month, I hope we're both not disappointed. FX!

I have fallen to the POAS addiction this morning and used a sainsburys test. it has given me a very faint cross line at about 8 mins but it doesn't go fully across the window, it fades to nothing in the middle. It's also one of those dreaded blue dye tests. I think I need to take myself to superdrug today!

bellaboo88 · 19/01/2014 08:23

Fx barmy, sounds painful but promising!!!!

Wow bus is really emptying now, lots of bfps tho!!

I'm thinking of transferring as I think I'm on the wrong bus but I'll wait & see if it diverts to my stop yet....still no ov (by ewcm monitoring) so will see if I get another shot at peeing in a pot or witch yet!

Feeling rubbish, was jet lagged from NY but my timezones reset to 'teenager', wide awake till gone 4am :( x

barmybunting · 19/01/2014 08:03

MissMrs, I like the internet today when it tells you that Smile . It is of course totally wrong when it doesn't agree with us! Are you planning to test sometime soon?

Something is up anyway, if af is on the way she is giving me a hell of a lead up to her arrival. TMI probably, but my nipples have been erect for about three days and my breasts suddenly feel like inflating balloons so goodness knows what that's about!

bumpbangbump · 19/01/2014 07:59

Just checking in to say congratulations for the bfps and commiserations to those that witch got. AF due next Sunday and no symptoms yet. Although I do have a chin full off spots which I got last month, so funily enough I'm not feeling positive!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 19/01/2014 07:02

BFN. Not surprised as AF not due until Friday. Will try again tomorrow and everyday after that until I get a BFP or AF gets me

missmrsmummy · 19/01/2014 01:28

Barmy I have lots of ewcm too... I have read this is a pg symptom and obviously the internet is gospel so fx it's a good sign for both of us!

Jo178 · 18/01/2014 21:46

Hi all, CD18 and still no positive opk. Hmm The past couple of days have had faint lines to the point where I'm wondering if I'm imagining it DH goes away for work on Monday til Wednesday so I'm hopeful it comes tomorrow to give us one chance. Beginning to wonder if I've missed it.

Treaclepie19 · 18/01/2014 21:26

I'm testing tomorrow too! Unless this is AF not IB. I know its too early but still. It says on that site to "hold off if you can" haha.

please let this be implantation bleeding

Sleepingstarsmommy · 18/01/2014 21:16

Thanks ladies. According to one of those links it says testing tomorrow is tempting but still best to wait!! Never going to happen - my ICs are ready and waiting for me Grin

Sleepingstarsmommy · 18/01/2014 19:59

Evening ladies.

Congrats to BFPs and sorry to those AF has caught.

I'm currently 8dpo and know that tomorrow I will be POAS because I am a POAS addict. I know I have seen a website giving stats on % of BFPs on the days post ov but can't seem to find it. Has anyone got the link??

mrsb87 · 18/01/2014 19:28

Evening guys, I'm still here on the bus! Bfpa/af due next week. Symptom crazy today, been really sleepy, to the point I even had an afternoon nap! Lower tummy cramps and tonight we ordered our favourite chinese, was really looking forward to this as I have been off my food for 2/3days, it really just didnt taste right, dh husband had the same and we tried ea hothers they tasted exactly the same! He was convinced they tasted the same as normal but I couldnt eat it Sad
this had better be pg symptoms or I will be mega upset!

barmybunting · 18/01/2014 18:41

Congratulations on the new bfps! It was lovely to read that good news this morning.

I am just cross with this ttc process today, I may be having a symptom spotting day as it's about 12dpo I think but ewcm has gone mad over the last two days, piles of it, so I'm now worried I didn't ov after all and my cycles are screwed up again. Oh what a joyous process this is. Please can someone give me a kick up the bum and tell me to stop obsessing?!

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 18:20

still a waiting game for me Grin

babytinks89 · 18/01/2014 18:20

Hi icy, don't worry you are not the only one ha, although i do use my work pc ooops!
My health is more important so i'll blame it on that if it ever crops up!!

Good luck, how long ago was your last AF?

icy121 · 18/01/2014 18:17

I love reading this thread and seeing I'm not alone in being conception-mad. I think my bosses may sack me, my productivity has stuttered to zero and I sit on my phone all day googling baby making info (obviously not going to use the work computer for that - and give them a chance to bin me off before I get pregnant and 'difficult' HA! Fuckers)

Anyway, on Cd21 - and fuck me it seems like cd 2001 - but finally got a positive line on opk. Skin is abysmal and lower abdomen is agony. I used to have eating 'issues' and would take herbal laxatives - similar sort of cramping. It is incredible having hormones again! Have had a sort of low-level nausea for the past 3 days, so got all excited but if I'm only ovulating now then pregnant I'm not. Jumped OH yesterday anyway so all good.

Really pleasing to read the good news stories in here and heart wrenching to read the sadder stories, but so glad everyone is posting away on here. I guess it's the point of the boards, but i think it's wonderful anyway. Thank you for all sharing so much of your lives and in doing so making the days a bit easier to get through!!

babytinks89 · 18/01/2014 18:11

Thanks Kitty... Now it's just the waiting game for me.. Where are when we fell pregnant in aug last year it wasnt planned it happened right away with missing one of my pills.. Now its having to play the game to wait for it to happen again :( its super hard!

How are you getting on? Sorry haven't read all the posts, you have a BFP yet? Or is it still the waiting game for you too?

Treaclepie19 · 18/01/2014 17:55

Ooo thats a good sign then. Thanks missmrs
Haha I think its a close one with the acronyms :p

missmrsmummy · 18/01/2014 17:35

Do you think there are more acronyms on mn or in teaching?! Lol

missmrsmummy · 18/01/2014 17:35

Treacle I read somewhere that 9dpo is most common day for ib!

KittyVon I'm testing Fri too (now I think we may have already discussed this!) fx... Glad no more nausea! So hard working on the weekend. I've been APPing today!

Lovecuppy · 18/01/2014 17:30

Thanks kitty :-)

Treaclepie19 · 18/01/2014 17:24

Arrrggghh. Think i may be out... 9DPO and started having pale pink blood. Would be very odd to be AF now as I'm pretty regular so hoping its implantation bleeding but still.

mama31 · 18/01/2014 17:20

English I know what you mean! Lol but I'm just trying out new things this cycle....that I've not been doing last 7 cycles...will try anything!! :)
