Comeawaywithme - I don't know what to do! Haha

Smile

With my DS I too had symptoms. I had heartburn from literally 1 week pregnant right up until he was about 4 weeks old when it eventually went away.

I know not all pregnancies are the same but I swear any symptoms I feel like my weird smell issues and dizziness are down to a cold or something.

Are you waiting? Apparently it's 67% accurate 6 days before missed af?

What to do!?!?!?

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/08/2014 20:08

Just bought some clear blue but determined to save them...hmm...

Congrats Sarah and Janey - here's to a happy and healthy nine months

Good luck with your next POAS MaG - I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Sorry to hear you're still in limbo Sunbathing and Katy - other than the month I got my BFP (swiftly followed by a BFN), when I was on holiday the entire time, I've found the 2 week wait to be sheer agony. It also seems to be go slower every time.

AF arrived this afternoon and us now in full flow, so I've been well and truly thrown off the bus. I was very upset about it on Monday (when the FRER was as white as snow at 10dpo), but am feeling surprisingly ok with it today. On the plus side: 1. at least AF had the grace to visit before the Bank holiday so that I can drink. 2. My ovulation date next month is also now likely to happen before DH goes away on a 10 day business trip - woop woop! 3. I have an Amazon delivery of 32 hpts to go and collect (mostly ICs)

Onwards to cycle 5. Have booked myself a reflexology session next week - thanks for the recommendation Spinning and have signed up to FertilityFriend, so will definitely by temping properly this month.

Good luck to all of those who are yet to POAS. Kitty - I'm rooting for you.

lucieloos · 22/08/2014 20:00

Ok will do thanks Angela, I will see what happens this cycle and report back. I don't normally get any ewcm so will be interested to see if it helps. I'm cd5 at the moment and we are beginning to dtd tomorrow. Trying sperm meets egg again!

comeawaywithme · 22/08/2014 19:52

bubalou I won't be cross if you decide to test tomorrow Grin I'm very tempted myself. Have a FRER and it does say 'detects the pregnancy hormone 6 days earlier than the day of your missed period'... Still don't really have any symptoms. When pregnant with DS I had really sore boobs before I tested, don't have anything like that now.

Congratulations to those who have had BFPs and Thanks for those who have been got by AF.

angelaham · 22/08/2014 19:39

congratulations janey and Sarah on you BFP!!!

Lucieloo - i have been on EPO for two months and i am beginning to wonder if that is causing me to spot in my tww, also the last two months i have noticed the cramps in my stomach a lot more , it may be fine but just watch out for these symptoms

fififolle · 22/08/2014 19:25

Can anyone explain the "lightening vag"?? Had it once early this am

Pompatrol · 22/08/2014 18:23

(Two in a pack, not two packets)
Sorry for also spamming Blush

Pompatrol · 22/08/2014 18:23

ma sorry to be a bad influence but I saw two packs of FRER for £6 in Asda if you are uk based!

Pompatrol · 22/08/2014 18:19

Congrats janey and sarah on your BFPs, and foscar on your scan!
Sorry to detective and everyone else who is out this month... Sorry I'm on my phone do it's hard to remember all the names before I type!
I've still not plucked up the courage to join an antenatal thread! I was quite panicked by my 'late' BFP and clearblue digi conception indicator not going up according to dates according to my LMP and was convinced I would miscarry. I also had no symptoms (apart from pure panic obviously!). Also was worrying (anyone spot a theme?) as I was so convinced by my many BFNs that I skipped some prenatal vitamins right when I should have taken them Blush
Trying to remain positive now and not test again as worrying will make no difference to the outcome. I think I'm around 6 weeks now and have been feeling sick for about 3 days and my boobs look like I've got a push up bra on!
Smile
Fingers crossed for everyone in the agonising 2ww.Thanks

bubalou · 22/08/2014 18:18

Literally sooooo tempted to test tomorrow with fmu.

However will only be on day 24 of 28/29 day cycle so far too early!!!

Might get DH to hide them from me so I don't do it!!!!

Confused
ohlordyplordy · 22/08/2014 18:06

wow, you have will power! if I saw a hint of a line i'd be peeing on every stick in sight :)
2 days late is a good sign, fx

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/08/2014 18:05

Thanks ohlordy think I need to stop testing every day...addicted to POASing!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/08/2014 18:03

No am saving some tesco tests - am 2 days late today so will hold off for a bit more and see what happens!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/08/2014 17:57

Thanks Natalie! I'm really not sure! On the second one, if you greyscale it, I think I can see something, but the eyes play tricks after a while! FX for you - baby dust going your way!!

ohlordyplordy · 22/08/2014 17:55

MaGrat sorry to say all I can see is the line caused by the end of the shiny bit on the test - but if you think you can see a line in the flesh, I agree with Natalie - do you have a FRER?

Natalie1989xo · 22/08/2014 17:52

It does appear on an invert that there is a line. I have read on here that the Internet cheapies aren't all that great.

Maybe run out and buy a first response to do in the morning. AF is due today or tomorrow and no signs as yet. FX for all waiting to test.

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/08/2014 17:28

And this one: www.canyouseealine.com/view_home_pregnancy_test.php?testID=54309

MaGratgarlik1983 · 22/08/2014 17:24

Ok ladies I caved and just did a test. I think I can see something there (especially if you invert the picture) but I also think I'm going a bit mental! What do you think..?

Hi Sunbathing I used to take pregnacare until last month. I made quite a few posts on here about how sick they made me feel and how many pregnancy type symptoms I was getting. I never used to have that during 2ww until I started on pregnacare. I decided to stop taking them last month and the cycle I've just had has been so much better! No sickness, nausea, headaches, backaches, cramps or twinges! Grin Now I am just taking folic acid alone, wheat germ oil for vitamin E, coenzyme 10 for healthy eggs and trying EPO on this new cycle to see if it produces more EWCM. A few other people said they were stopping taking them around the same time as me so I think it must be a common thing.
