Polythenegirl - me too! Period due today and thought I was out this morning as I had (sorry if TMI) a bit of brown discharge but since then nothing. Got no tests in either so can't check. I'm sure she'll get me later today. Fingers crossed.

Im using the CB ones - on day 4 of my flashing today.
Last month I had a text book 2 days flashing before I got my solid but this month its clearly different.

Im trying not to panic as to why its still flashing so Kitty, its good to know I may well get a few more days of this!

A friend of mine swore by them - she literally raved about them to everyone so whilst I havent told anyone Im TTC I took a mental note to try them as soon as we started trying!

Af is due for me today on my app and tomorrow by my calculations. So will wait and see, I don't know this month as has zero symptoms, just tired. But I have had a busy few weeks at work so not going to overthink this one.
Keeping my fingers crossed, good luck to all.

Thanks - knocked a bit of the naivety out! Going to enjoy a glass of wine!

PolytheneGirl · 12/03/2014 17:25

Well af was due today and normally meets me promptly with my morning wee. If she's not here tomorrow I will poas on fri. I'm not too optimistic though as I honestly just don't feel pregnant. I went out today a bought a massive af supply just to tempt fate. I hope I don't need to use them for a looooooong time!

So sorry Lemon. I was really hopeful that the Dr had got it wrong. I hope you're ok Thanks

KittyVonCatsington · 12/03/2014 17:15

I had flashing smileys for 7 days last cycle before my solid smiley so don't panic if after two days, it is still flashing, toots Grin
I will only use the CB ones now as Boots own brand and ic were shite in my opinion - didn't get a clear positive with them at all; too much guess work!

Secretly pleased if a peak shows soon as will mean the DTD end is nigh!!

Fingerscrossed36 · 12/03/2014 17:11

Sad sorry to hear that Sammy, that happened to me last month gutting

Sending Thanks

toots123 · 12/03/2014 17:06

Af has arrived 2 days early Sad which is very unusual, I am always bang on 28 days. Gutted but feeling a sense of relief that tww is over. To dtd in april and a Christmas bundle!

kurama · 12/03/2014 16:20

well bfn this morn but im not down and out yet Grin dh in bed asleep. dont think hes moved since last night so ive been trying to de-weed my garden patch lol. how is everyone today Wink

lindamagoo · 12/03/2014 13:39

Thanks English, that's the only active ingredient so I'll give it a go Smile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/03/2014 13:29

English, step away from your cervix! That is an order!!! Shock You're going to do yourself an injury lovey!

My cervix is somewhere up around my armpit, so any amount of prodding, i wouldn't be able to find it anyway! Grin

Fingerscrossed36 · 12/03/2014 13:28

Sat here resisting POAS really don't want a negative.

Depends whether my cycle is 38 or 42 days long. BFP due today or Sunday. Sat here with aching tummy but no sign of AF :-) hubby's away till Friday so holding off till he's back.

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 12/03/2014 13:22

Hi toots I am loving my cb smiley sticks too! Second day of peak for me!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/03/2014 13:16

Possibly.....I'm quite careful!! Need to get out of this habit!! I'm sure I'd relax more if I just let things happen rather than anxiously expecting the worst all the time!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/03/2014 13:14

I have had spotting on ov time. Not often but occasionally. Always takes me by surprise. Perhaps once a year. Maybe it's late ov spotting? Wink

toots123 · 12/03/2014 13:13

Hi sazzle
panic over. Convinced dh into a quickie before work. Will keep dtd until the fixed smiley comes
first month of using cb opks and I love how clear they are to read. No more ic opks for me!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/03/2014 13:13

Oh English Confused is it possible you've been prodding and hurt yourself?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/03/2014 13:08

Linda - as long as Guafinesin is the only active ingredient.

TMI ALERT!! - Just been to the loo and had a prod around my cervix (i've got into a bad habit of doing this) and had some pale brown, stringy cm. Yuk! I really hope this isnt the beginning of af. At potentially only 5dpo i'm stressing!! Thats if I've even ovulated. Sad

lindamagoo · 12/03/2014 12:57

Quick question about cough medicine! Boots do their own version of Robitussin (cheaper) with Guaifenesin, will that do the job?

sazzlehopes · 12/03/2014 12:04

Choccy i'm still doing ic preggo tests Blush

Choccywoccydodah · 12/03/2014 12:02

Glad you can see it ladies!

Nosaint, totally a symptom!! I really can't be arsed with anything! And I couldn't when pg with ds. I was a bit of a clean freak, and when I was pg with ds, dh mentioned it to our friends!! They asked if I'd changed while pg and he said, well the house is a bit of a mess, but I can live with it.
Cheeky sod. (He was doing our house up and run tagged tbf, so it wasn't a lot to ask!)
He didn't mean it to come out how it sounded, but I was so embarrassed!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/03/2014 11:34

Nosaint, yes for me massive hormonal swing to complete and utter desperation. I've had this when I've mced too. It's like pmt on acid really, for me anyway! But then I suffer badly with pmt. Sad Actually sometimes even if af comes it's a relief because the cloud lifts. I also find pg quite depressing altogether. I do think I definitely suffered with pre natal depression. Birth magically cured it thankfully.
