Tww starts tomorrow!

Oh blanks, I'm sorry that must have been really hard for you. Men can be a bit silly like that. I understand why you want to test early. The only thing is even if you are pg it might not show as positive yet (espec as you would not be using FMU) and then you will get even more down by getting a BFN. Maybe better to stay in the not knowing bubble for today, but of course it's up to you x

Redbunny, good luck with the open day. I am dreading when he actually starts and I leave him there (even though I want him to go there!). He already goes to a childminder 3 days a week so not like I'm not used to being without him, but I know leaving him somewhere new will set me off big time.
I agree that your 4 cycles seems mathematically correct so not long to wait!

Oh Gosh.. DH just told me that his workmate has announced that she's pregnant and due two days before our little one was due if I hadn't mc. I got really angry with him for telling me that and then started to cry. Mood swings and being irrational...AF due in two days.
It is for that reason, that I'm really tempted to POAS and find out one way or the other. I'm finding the wait really difficult today

Hi all, sorry I've been absent for the last few days - mega busy at work, but I have been lurking! Will defo tune in on Friday for the POAS party, although I think Friday will be a bit too early for me as I will only be 9 DPO. Expecting AF on Wednesday 18th. Maybe I'll join the Father's Day POAS:ers... I don't think this is my month though, as I had ovulation pains on my left side which is where I am missing a tube, although I've heard the right tube can pick up the egg if you ovulate on the left side and vice versa, so not completely impossible! Fingers crossed for everyone!!

I like the reverse psychology there. I didn't buy any wine in my weekly shop. That was mistake!
I'm taking Pregnacare Conception which has folic acid in it. Doesn't seem to effect me in anyway though.

You know I quit drinking and today I'm wishing I hadn't!! I shall have to buy myself lots of chocolate instead of wine I think. Anyhow so now I'm super keen to get to next cycle. So I can do the dreaded two week wait all over again! If there's a 25% of conceiving every month surely somehow that translates to you should be pregnant in four cycles? Right??

Ladyflower, I'm going to the open day of where I'm quite certain I shall send my daughter soon and I have no doubt I will be like that wherever I am in my cycle! You know I've considered having a home birth next time too. I had a horrible hospital experience before. I had quite a straightforward birth too. Just don't know if I'll actually be brave enough.

I watched OBEM last night too! Indulging myself while OH is away, he can't stand it! Probably not the thing to do while in this bloody wait, but ho-hum. Trying to convince myself that nothing will happen, and I will plan to get plastered at the weekend. Even bought a bottle of Sauv Blanc & some tampax to use to drown my sorrows & reverse psychology myself into getting a BFP. :-/ Is anyone else taking Folic acid? has it given any of you an upset tummy? I'm not sure what's happened to my digestion, but it's gone all awry!

Er, how embarrassing. I went to look round a pre-school this morning for my DS to potentially go to next year. It was really lovely and I got all emotional about it and eyes kept welling up - must be careful not to arrange things like this around AF time in future.
Ah Angels, I would like a homebirth next time. Mainly because don't want to do that journey to hospital in megapain again. Was it lovely to just be in your own bed afterwards? I stayed awake all night as woman opposite snoring.
Welcome Janey. Don't worry, becoming completely impatient and irrational when TTC is completely 'normal' we are all like it on here.

Welcome to the Mad House JaneyTea! We're all here to try to urge folk not to POAS too early. There are a few of us testing on Friday and more on Saturday so you've come to the right group!

Hey all. Looks like I'm out now- coloured discharge when I went to the toilet which is a sign of AF. Now started to get some little cramps. So this cycle was only 25 days. Since my last miscarriage they all seem to be a different length.... So annoying!! Off to buy tampax and painkillers then!!

We did plan a home birth, as the home birth with DD1 was so nice. But I rang the midwives too late And I was terrified something would be wrong with the baby!

Pinpan - hope your dd gets better soon. Poor thing :( love the tee- total thing!

Newbie - there's still time until AF starts. Don't lose hope! Xx

Hello.

I hope no one minds me popping in here - this is my first post and my first month TTC. I thought I would be quite laid back about it all, but apparently not! My TTW is due to end this Saturday and this week has been full of symptom spotting and arguing with myself not to be so ridiculous! I guess I'm learning that I'm pretty impatient afterall.

Bought a test this morning; strangely just buying it made me feel less anxious. Now, let's see how many days I can wait before using it......

Hi all

12dpo today and another BFN so think I'm def out :( Feeling cramps and bloated which prob means AF is en route the cow! Good luck to everyone else x

Angels, did you plan DD2 to arrive that way, or was that why it was so scary?!

I am super hungry all the time, so I have to rule that one out. Can't say hand on heart that I have any other symptoms, except spots on my back (ick). But DD surpassed her personal best in high temperatures today with an ear infection so I haven't really been thinking about it too much.

I'm still holding out for Friday NEXT week, but I am looking forward to this week's pee-party as a tee-totaller.

RedBunny there's still only a 25% chance of conceiving each cycle even if you did everything you could... So you haven't done anything "wrong" as such. Xx

I wish I knew where I was with cycles... Thinking maybe I should have carried on dtd just in case, but I couldn't face it! DP has got his theory test later now he's FINALLY decided to learn to drive so fingers crossed everyone!

Ladyflower - I actually feel LESS angry today and am, in fact, in a good mood! Calm, collected, motivated, sane. So if I haven't got pmt then I'm probably just suffering the effects of coming off the pill, great!

Blankfornames I can't watch OBEM anymore... It makes me so broody! I may start watching it if I get a BFP, but then I'll just be terrified of the birth. DD2 was born at home, on our bed, delivered by DP. Sounds lovely, but my god it was scary! Haha.

Yes if AF doesn't show up Thursday I will test on Friday.

Well this morning I've woken up to a headache (again) sore boobs and slight cramping which are all huge signs of PMS. Also yesterday, I cried for the majority of the time I watched 'One Born Every Minute'. DH hates me watching it but it's my guilty pleasure. I'm feeling less hopeful today. I asked DH yday what his gut instinct was and he said yes. He guessed right in April also, but that pregnancy just wasn't to be.
Redbunny, sorry about your BPN. Maybe hold out testing and jump with us on the POAS bus on Friday.
Strength in Unity!

OH no, I'm feeling angry. Another sign freakin AF is coming

I've got bleeding gums this morning. Haven't had that since, um, last pregnancy. Off to work today so that's my mind engaged elsewhere thankfully. Day 32 today and I think it's 13 DPO. I might POAS on 11th or 12th, provided crotchwatch doesn't find any evidence against this plan.

Hi Redbunny. Sorry you had to see another BFN this morning. It's frustrating when you are doing everything right and it still doesn't happen. You are still testing early though, so there's still time for that second line!!

I am surprised to not be pregnant though. Been super hungry and sore boobs which I know is a symptom of AF coming for lots of people but I've never ever had that before. Guess maybe it's a new thing I've gotten..... Yay!

Hey angels!! My husband thinks I'm going to be pregnant anyway. AF is due Thursday. But I'm thinking I'm not gonna be pregnant this month. He made me POAS again this morning which is 13dpo and BFN again. So.... Looks like I'm out. Which is horrible cuz I don't know what else I can do next month. I was certain I had done everything right! How's everyone else holding up for Friday?!
