I also think next month I'm not going to test until 3 days before AF due at the earliest as getting too depressed!

ClaireF2013 · 12/06/2014 12:02

Humph, I have had no tingling/tickly boobs today, or any other symptoms like I was getting before :( Still know I can't get an accurate test result for a while, although I am irregular, so that just makes it worse! Arggghh, never thought I would be so irrational and obsessive about this.

newbie6 · 12/06/2014 10:12

Sorry to those whose AF has arrived, here's to next month! I'm due tomorrow so unless a miracle happens I'm praying positive thoughts for a July BFP! X

teejayem · 12/06/2014 10:03

Morning peestickers! Day 30 here and avidly on knickerwatch...

CatRen27 · 12/06/2014 09:31

I like your thinking birdtable, and reckon I'll follow suit next month if I'm out of the game this weekend. I have all the kit ready to go!

Birdtable · 12/06/2014 09:30

Cat yes that's what happened with me - I poas and got bfn but didn't believe them! So I was just still waiting not knowing at all!! Now af has turned up I feel less manic about it all and just happy to know the truth! I will use opk again this cycle as I found it comforting to know I was ovulating but I will keep dtd every other day and during the 2ww as well just incase! I'm not testing till I'm at day 30 next time if af doesn't show. Good luck everyone today, I hope we get a few more bfp!!

We could be really strict and say no POAS until at least 2 days overdue! Grin Not much help for those of us who are irregular though - I'm due sometime between 20th and 25th. Would have to have nerves of fruity to wait until 27th to test though!

Re drinking (Angels?), I've got a work thing on 20th, and (assuming AF hasn't arrived) I think I'm just going to take a drink and then nurse it all evening. There's definitely some people that would raise a knowing eyebrow at me if I refused any wine at all, and I can't be bothered making excuses. A few sips won't hurt, and the rest can go in the flowerbed. Wink

CatRen27 · 12/06/2014 09:09

Sorry about all the AF visits today, I think you're all being remarkably positive and I hope I'll be as resilient as you ladies if she turns up for me on Saturday.

I'm also wondering whether I've learned the lesson the hard way that early tests are a bad idea. What if I do one one tomorrow and it's BFN? Surely I'll just assume that it's wrong until AF turns up anyway?!

All symptoms have disappeared for me, except this morning I've noticed EWCM for the first time this cycle. No idea what that means. I was also a bit crabby with DH yesterday but that's probably more to do with pressure at work, limited sleep and him working until midnight - not so conducive to dtd but will make sure he's home by 7 when the time is right next month!

Good luck today for those on knicker watch, and for those itching to POAS, your support group is here! x Enjoy the sunny day x

Morning. Also on knickerwatch Ladyflower - mine's not due for another couple of days, but feels like it's on it's way. This is making feel wobbly about testing tomorrow - might just leave it, as I'm almost certain it would be a BFN.

Next month I feel like I need to monitor things more closely, rather than just using an app. Thermometer and OPKs are in my Amazon basket, awiting confirmation of the arrival of AF.....

Good luck to everyone else who is also on knickerwatch.

AngelsInWinter · 12/06/2014 08:31

Good luck everyone due on today xxx

blankfornames · 12/06/2014 08:14

Ah I'm sorry Redbunny and Bird. It is a shame but at least you now know what is what and you can have a glass of wine or two and let your mind relax a little before the madness begins again in two weeks. Hope this cycle is your one!

AF due for me today...I'm nervous everytime I go to the toilet!!

ladyflower23 · 12/06/2014 08:10

Morning everyone. Sorry to hear of af birdtable. Mine due today so on high knicker alert. I agree with all that af preferable to bfn as at least it's conclusive.
Thanks for link Claire. I have been getting the sore blobs, nausea and dizziness and been blaming it on new pms or pill withdrawal. Now wondering! I've nearly finished current packet so might try a different one next.
Tezza think you are meant to have sex during 48 hours of getting pos to catch the egg.

RedBunny · 12/06/2014 08:00

And birdtable I totally get what you're saying! I am keen to just get sorted out and get to next ovulation now. And I don't know that I will ever early test again either. It's too expensive and disheartening!!

RedBunny · 12/06/2014 07:59

Sorry to everyone getting the BFNs. It's pants. AF is here today for me. TMI warning!! I went to the toilet and passed a large piece of tissue.. Presumably from my miscarriage. So I guess that's why I haven't gotten pregnant again. I shall go to the doctors to check if I need to worry. So rubbish. I think of all the people I know that have had accident babies and I can't believe it's so hard to get one on purpose!

Birdtable · 12/06/2014 07:49

Thanks angel Flowers

Oh birdtable sorry to hear that :( I would definitely be less sad if AF arrived. As you say I could just get on with things then!

I very much doubt I will test early next month (this happened the other times, I learnt my lesson, waited patiently, and turned out to be pregnant!)

Chocolate and a nice drink for you Bird xx

Birdtable · 12/06/2014 07:29

I'm out, af arrived this morning, bang on 28 days so at least my cycle has settlers down again! To be honest I have found af easier to deal with than the bfn so Zoobaby I agree with you!! At least I know what's what now and can get on with getting af over and trying again! Feeling surprisingly positive! Never will I poas early - too disheartened and angels I totally understand, it becomes obsessive and you don't actually believe the bfn till af arrives!

OP posts:
AngelsInWinter · 12/06/2014 06:04

Another BFN.

I KNOW I'm not pregnant because whenever I'm not I get all obsessive and test constantly and make excuses for the tests not working. However the three times I have been pregnant I haven't done one test until I've been at least 3 days late.
Don't think I'll be able to get back to sleep now :(

Good luck zoobaby xx

JaneyTea · 12/06/2014 06:01

morning Zoo, I hope you were able to get back to sleep after the 3am awakening!

zoobaby · 12/06/2014 03:21

Up for one of DS' occasional 3am wakings. The joy! Not sure if I've got light AF cramps or just feeling nauseous. Hopefully today will be the day to find out. I agree with a couple of others who have already said they'd rather wait than see a negative result and those who say they feel depressed after seeing one.

Another congrats for Rose. The first of many hopefully!

I'm swaying between positive and negative thoughts with every perceived cramp or non-cramp. Unleas AF arrives soon, I'll officially be in unchartered territory of 33+ days. Only had longer for first 2 cycles of AF return after giving birth. Might be time to crack open a test tomorrow. Not sure I could hold out til Friday.

AngelsInWinter · 11/06/2014 21:43

I'm* not I
