Ooooh it's all very exciting! I've still got aaaaaages to wait before I'm allowed to POAS. Can't wait for the first BFP! Grin Whoever gets it isn't allowed to abandon us though, you need to stick around to give the rest of us hope. Grin

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 20:18

Red bunny is this your fourth?? Good luck for tomorrow!!

RedBunny · 08/06/2014 20:07

I buy first response from eBay. They are my favourite tests and you can get a pack of two for like £7. I am going to POAS tomorrow. I am allowed by the rules of this thread as I will be 12dpo AND even more interesting is the last three times I got BFPs they were all on 12dpo!!! So there you go. Tomorrow's test should for sure be my answer. I'm getting a little nervous..!!! Who else is testing tomorrow? Fruityb?

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 20:00

That's good to know, Hibou. Mine were from Amazon, vv cheap but then they are the little cardboard strips! It's hard to imagine them being accurate, even though they're supposedly super sensitive Grin

Hibou7688 · 08/06/2014 19:38

I just got some off ebay, they aren't the tiny little piece of card ones - they look like pg tests, was 5 for 2.99!

Ooo you just reminded me of two things..

  1. Reasons not to poas early and
  2. Must by Father's Day card for dad!
Fruityb · 08/06/2014 16:48

Other half cooking, awesome. I'm crocheting a blanket and trying not to overthink stuff. Still feeling dizzy and slightly sick.

I know my resolve probably seems admirable but I am doing my own head in!!

If I can keep AF away tomorrow we start the POAS business!

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 15:55

Ooh Hibou you should test on Fathers Day! I think the problem with testing early is that if it's negative you still think to yourself "Well I MIGHT be pregnant" so unless its an early BFP it just causes stress!

Hmm, I've just sat down to relax in my newly cleaned/hoovered living room and decided that it smells horrible and musty Confused So clearly I have a heightened sense of smell... Not getting my hopes up though!

What's everyone having for tea tonight? I miss roast dinners :(

Birdtable · 08/06/2014 15:37

Yes lady flower the ewcm only lasted a day! Everything I have read says that any spotting this length before af could mean implantation! But ideally don't want to get my hopes up!

Hibou7688 · 08/06/2014 15:36

I'll try and hold off as long as possible! Ordered some sticks online so they might be here on tues. Will try and hold off til Fri! I'll be 12 dpo then, but if I can I'll try and wait a bit longer! Depends how symptom spotting goes between now and then!

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 15:33

Oohh right sorry, that probably isn't just random spotting then if it was a year ago! Might still be an IB...

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 15:32

What pill was it? When I came off the combined pill I either had regular periods straightaway or got pregnant straight away (the once). When I came off the POP pill I did have random spotting. Good luck either way though, when will you test?

Hibou7688 · 08/06/2014 15:32

As in June 2013

Hibou7688 · 08/06/2014 15:29

Came off pill in June, i think I'm 7dpo. Usually ov on cd21-22. My cycles are long, but regular 38/39 days!

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 15:23

Well...

Have you recently come off the pill or anything?
Could you actually be ovulating?
Do you have irregular cycles?

If no, no and no and it tails off then it could be an implantation bleed! I got my BFP 6 days after mine though (not this time; this was back in 2012!).

Hibou7688 · 08/06/2014 15:12

It was a tiny amount, I read somewhere it's normally pinkish but that it could be brown because it might take it a little while to leave ur body. This has massively gotten my hopes up now... Eeek. Need to try to stay realistic!

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 15:09

Ooh it could be! Mine started off pale pink then turned to brown. Exciting!

Hibou7688 · 08/06/2014 14:32

af not due til the 18th.. I'm 7dpo and just wiped and had a tiny bit of brown blood - looked a bit like when ur period is finishing. is this spotting?! never had it before!

AngelsInWinter · 08/06/2014 14:15

Thanks guys! I've just fished out the diary I kept whilst ttc-ing DD2 Blush and it turns out I cried a lot during the week before I got a BFP Shock so you never know... But I still feel PMT-ish - currently going through the "I hate DP" stage and everything he's doing is winding me up. Sigh.

I would think paracetamol would be fine? As you can take it in pregnancy. Fwiw, as DD1 was a complete surprise I was drinking endless cans of Relentless energy drink (worked a night job) and also taking shitloads of Ibuprofen for recurrent cystitis during what was technically my two week wait. And she's been speaking in little sentences since she was 16 months Wink still hasn't mastered toilet training though

Today I've been getting the house in order and tomorrow have the exciting task of buying a new laundry basket after baby group. Bring on the testing!!

blankfornames · 08/06/2014 13:55

Brilliant. Thanks so much Ladyflower. Well done on resisting the urge!! It's not an easy task, but think as of tomorrow morning, we'll know one way or the other this week!!

ladyflower23 · 08/06/2014 13:35

P.S - Angels, I think crying over skiddys could poss be a pregnancy symptom - hang in there!

ladyflower23 · 08/06/2014 13:34

Birdltable & Blanks, defo sounds like could be implantation to me, I think you are still in the game Smile So Birdtable, I take it your random EWCM after ov has stopped now?
Rose, my AF is due Thursday, but I am planning on holding out till Sunday to take test. Realistically, that is not realistic with my low patience threshold, so will probably be Friday that I test if no AF. I tested early last month then got AF next day and got really annoyed with myself, so REFUSE to test early this month (although I did get very tempted earlier and actually held my Boots test in my hand, but forced myself to put it back in the drawer unpeed on (helps to picture pinpan's response)).
Blanks, I thought I had UTI last month, turns out i didn't, but nurse told me OK to take Paracetamol when TTC, but not Ibuprofen.
Well I am going to get the paddling pool out for DS when he's up from his nap and do some weeding. Hopefully manual labour will keep me away from the stick.

Fruityb · 08/06/2014 11:48

No AF and no sticks as yet. I feel poorly today and did yesterday. It's only one day late and that's not out of the ordinary, but by the same token there's a twinge of excitement brewing!

Think I'm having slight cramps but then I don't know if I just think I am. Had the most bonkers dreams the last couple of nights as well.

Think tomorrow might be the day...

blankfornames · 08/06/2014 11:44

Glad to be able to free my mind of my vacant/engaged womb!

Well I'm in bed with a throat infection. Glands are like golf balls. I'm afraid to take anything incase something is going on down there! I've read that you're not supposed to take any painkillers. Is this true does anyone know?
