POAS Anonymous: The story continues

Newbie I never get EWCM or very rarely so I would to worry about it, not everyone gets all the indicators I guess.

I've started logging my BBT so I get a better idea of my ovulation date - I hate working with all these average days

So I'm now really pissed off! Tested with CB advanced digital again and yet another smiley face.....this will be day 7 so.....tested again but used my tap water and guess what......flashing smiley face so either my tap water is highly fertile or the test ain't working! Am now hoping all my DTD hasn't been in vain! By looking at ovulation calendars etc, still reckon we have covered ourselves but am also thinking I don't think I've had any EWCM this month which maybe means I haven't ovulated this month? Could that happen? Consoling myself that both me and DH have had our fertility tested and all came back good but just annoyed with CB! Grrrrrr.......rant over!

Let's hope for some BFP's soon!

Flashing today again???!!! Hoping for solid smile tomorrow! According to ovulation charts I should have ovulated already so no idea what is going on?

Thanks Terry's.

I'm just glad I'm not going mad. I know I'm late so the pain is going to be worse but it's very bright red, extremely heavy, the cramping is really bad and there is a lot of clotting and white bits.

At least I know.

The good news is that me and DH weren't trying because he was in 2 minds about having another but I knew I wanted one. He has now said that we should start ttc from next month as this has made his realise he really would like another.

Let's hope my body gets back to normal so we can start.

Thanks for all the support and I hope there's lots of bfps coming!

bubalou the only time I've ever had clots was when I miscarried and after the ectopic. Have you taken a few HPTs over the last couple of weeks? I wonder if you were pregnant but then it didn't survive and is taken a little while for your body to process it?? In any case if the pain/bleeding gets too much or you are worried go to GP or A&E.

Well I'm going insane.

The month before I got pg with DS - I had all the symptoms and I got a faint positive 4 days after af was due - but then had early mc a few days later.

However this time no BFP but all pg symptoms and af started this morning but the cramping is horrendous and - tmi alert - when I just went bathroom a dark clot about the size of a 10p came out. I don't ever get any clots?

Does anybody know what's going on? Feel like I've imagined everything.

Thanks newbie!

Good luck with the smilie faces.

Thanks Catren and those do look like positives to me! Are you going to test again with a brand?
Newbie, I think you can get upto 10 days of flashing smilies before you peak, I hope you get it soon...before you collapse with exhaustion x

Hi everyone,

Hope you find out soon bubalou!

Sorry to those whose AF has showed up and good luck for next month.

As for me, I'm using the advanced CB digital sticks and am on my 5th day of a flashing smiley face?! Is that normal?? Me and DH are DTD every other day until I get my solid smiley face but am beginning to lose the will to live, I'm awful amn't I! This baby making is hard work!! X

Thanks red bunny.

It really is odd. In the 17 years or so I've had afs I've always been regular and only ever maybe 2 days late a couple of times. I can usually set my watch to it - my mum and sisters joke as I can literally tell to the hour.

8 days late tomorow. I've read a lot about people ovulating later than they think and implanting later so hormone is too low to measure yet.

I just wish I knew.

CatRen it looks like positives. Hard to tell on my phone as to colour but there are definitely lines. If they are the right colour I'm going to say congratulations....!
Spangila that's too bad about AF. I'm due on Sunday. Kinda expecting it to come really....
Hey bubalou! That sure does sound odd. If you usually have your period reasonably on time I think you should perhaps go to your doctor about what's going on now??

I'm out too, AF arrived Monday evening. Onwards and upwards :)

I'm 20 dpo and af is 7 days overdue.

Just did another hpt and bfn.

So confused. I wasn't currently ttc - DS is 6 and me and DH were going to start trying in a few months.

I have heartburn which I've only ever had when pg, I'm gassy (lovely!), bloated, boobs aren't sore but big, I've had light cramping, crying at everything and my tummy had that 'tight' feeling.

I know it sounds ridiculous but I am so sure I'm pregnant but still getting bfns! I'm not imagining symptoms.

So frustrating to wait!!!

catren I can't see any pics as I'm on my phone but I think you should POAS in the morning to see what happens. FX!!

That loaded upside down!

Right so it goes 13 dpo and 14 dpo top to bottom. The Can see a stronger line on the 14 dpo. Thoughts???

It was the one step pregnancy test I bought online - cheap strips. What do you think?

Good luck! Unfortunately, AF arrived this morning, so that's me out for the month. Onwards and upwards for August BFP:)

Sounds promising catren! Good luck x

What kind of test was it CatRen?

^test results

Still here lurking in the background. congratulations ladyflower! Such great news.

My update is that I've identified the ov date although husband was away at exactly that time but we dtd lots before and after so there is a slim chance. I'm 13dpo today, with sore boobs and did a test and there was either an Evap line or the faintest bpf. I've just googled Evap lines and early treat results and they look identical so I'm no better off!! Will try again tomorrow - af due then anyway so either way should know soon enough.

Good luck everyone xxx

Hi red bunny, I sympathise with the early morning wake ups! My 18mth old son was up at 4 and 5 today, nightmare!

Good luck with FRER but try to wait till 12dpo! Easier said than done I know!

Hey! So early. My daughter woke me up at like 4:15 and then kept waking me again as soon as I started to fall back asleep! Anyhow I POAS. I don't know why. I'm only 10 dpo. I know before I've not gotten BFPs til 12dpo. But I read the first response packet and it was like 78% of women get a positive 5 days before their missed period blah blah blah. And then of course after I realised those stats are probably based on people with a slightly longer luteal phase than myself and also remembered the day of your missed period is actually the day after it is due. What a doughnut. People, what was I thinking??!!! Everyone else, do not do this!!!

hello everyone, back from a lovely weekend camping (and for me to put lovely and camping in the same sentence is quite a statement!)

spangila as I understand if this is your first then how sure are you of your ovulation date? have you been using OPKs or temp charting? At 15dpo I would assume a hpt would be accurate but if you're not certain with your dates then it might not be. Welcome to the frustrating world of TTC! And of course whether you test depends entirely on your personality and whether you have any self control and patience. I am pretty sure those kind of people are a rarity on this thread
