I guess the only happy thought I've got is that it is turning out that my LP is longer then I was panicking about last week!

Frazzled - when do you personally count dpo1? The day of your last high (after 2 peaks) or the day after your last high (after 2 peaks)?

I'm really sorry Mary Hmm I really feel for you because the disappointment after getting your hopes up is just unbearable Confused

My cramps have got a lot stronger again. I would say these are very similar to AF and are now causing my back to hurt a lot. I've brought a twin pack of Superdrug tests this afternoon. I didn't get any Clearblue ones as they didn't have any on offer at my branch. It's just a waiting game now.

Sorry, droflove I meant CD10, obviously. CD1 would be good going! Grin

MarysPrayer · 22/02/2015 11:31

pear it was a Boots own brand early test (equiv to the superdrug ones I think) It's all academic now anyway AF is officially here :( Could have had that glass of Wine last night after all. if I hadn't have been so hopelessly optimistist And saved a few ££ on the pee stick. Angry

I'm feeling really sad - I want this so much - although I'm probably a bag of hormones atm anyway. Will try and look forward to next month.

elegant ip sounds very promising. Fx.

Droflove It's still possible. If you dtd on cd1 evening, and,let's say, you ov'd on cd13 morning, then it's perfectly possibly that you could have conceived Smile

Mary ~ I was wondering how you were getting on! What tests have you been using?

You're right ladies. It is still early. I never cramp this much before AF so I am still hopeful but also dreading the let down if I'm wrong. The waiting game is so cruel!

I kept getting BFN until 14dpo...

MarysPrayer · 22/02/2015 09:06

AF is taunting me this month. She hasn't shown and so I convinced myself that the cramps were easing too. Poas this morning: bfn. I'm about 14dpo so no chance this month. Sad
Onwards and upwards hey!

frazzledtofun · 22/02/2015 07:47

Pear it might not have implanted yet. I reckon tomorrow but not on an IC... Fingers crossed!!

Looks like Drof and elegant you guys will be POAS tomorrow too..? Grin

Dro - DS has been waking early so my body has got used to being up lately. Typical that he's only just waking now at 7:30 Grin You DTD once? That would be amazing if you fell pregnant straight away! It is very early.

Day 29 now.

Droflove · 22/02/2015 05:46

I'm currently on day 28 of my cycle. DTD on day 10 so thought there was no way I hit ovulation. But I feel like I'm pregnant too. Just scared to poas!

Droflove · 22/02/2015 05:44

Oh Pear. You are up very early poas:) DPO10 is still early ish no?

I am actually starting to think that I am imagining this all in my head. Cd 35, DPO10. Bfn ?? I must be testing too early. I never learn ?? or I am not pregnant ??

Thanks for the new thread pear. 10dpo here and either just had a bit of implantation bleeding or having my shortest ever cycle (day 26 of cycle but usually 32 days pre first pregnancy and only cycle since was 34). Argh! I hate waiting.

frazzledtofun · 21/02/2015 22:14

That's weird Pear. It's the Superdrug own brand pregnancy test anyway.
£4.79 for a twin pack.

I will be checking in tomorrow morning and hoping you have some news. For now I am going to bed. Also shattered! Good luck!!

Frazzles - I'm feeling OK thanks but I am v tired. The cramping has stopped but seems to be worse at night anyway. My CBFM is now flashing a 'm' so I will test again in the morning.

Hello Pear
Thanks for the lovely new thread! :-)

These are the tests I was talking about: www.superdrug.com/Superdrug/Superdrug-Pregnancy-Test-Double/p/457396#.VOjz2kIjjFI

Both times I got a BFP on these when I got a negative on an IC and an incredibly barely there line on a FRER.

How are you feeling?

I've been feeling bit anxious - panicking about everything that could go wrong... Did a CB digi this morning purely so I could see the word "pregnant". I love those tests. They aren't super sensitive though (I think).

Superdrug is currently doing 1/3 off clearblue and first response tests. I may go and treat myself to a packet tomorrow. I quite like it when you can see 1-2 weeks pregnant on the screen!
