Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

Thanks ladies. I think I'm going to ditch the digital - I haven't used them for any other pregnancies and this has been a bit stressful so I think it's over for me and digis.

monkey sorry to hear that :-( I hope she holds off for you too.

Hi hewy sounds like you're doing as much as possible, I'm not sure about the KY, I know there's a lube called preseed (I think) and that's more conducive to ttc, but I'm not sure whether the ky can't be used.

FortySixandTwo · 03/04/2015 11:28

Hi hewy welcome :)

Epskie I definitely see a line congrats. X

I'm temping this month too as well as taking an opk 2times a day (obsessive much?). Seeing the specialist in 2 weeks so just DTD dutifully now until the appointment

How's everyone else getting on ? X

TerryTheGreenHorse · 03/04/2015 11:00

I'm on the app but I can't see the photo, but the digis are less sensitive than other tests. I think they are 50 mui. I would wait a few days and try another one.

Monkeysocks38 · 03/04/2015 10:57

Epskie I would say thats a definite line too.

No, temp dip is not good. It normally means that the progesterone levels have dropped off so waiting for AF to arrive now. I'm already down to 25 day cycles with AF due on Sunday so I hope it holds off until then.

fuzzywuzzy · 03/04/2015 10:34

Epskie I can definitely see a line.

epskie · 03/04/2015 10:14

Ah sorry monkey I don't know anything about temping but I assume that's not a good sign?

Thanks ladies. I've been straight to super drug and bought their own brand tests since people seem to think they're the best (from my hours of google research this morning)
I'll put a photo of it on, this was about 15 minutes ago so obviously not fmu. Tell me what you think

anyone else in the 2ww but absolutely not symptom spotting this time?
LaraNotCroft22 · 03/04/2015 10:04

I agree epskie, try a first response. It might just be neg because it registers a higher level if hcg than you have yet. If really worried head to the doctors to put your mins at ease.

dummie · 03/04/2015 10:02

Epskie have you tried another test since the digital? I would try a first response asap xxx

Monkeysocks38 · 03/04/2015 09:31

It looks like I'm out for this month. 11dpo and my temp dropped to just below the control line this morning.

MalibuDaisy · 03/04/2015 09:07

epskie I've heard that Clearblue don't pick up hcg as well as some other tests. But yes, see your doctor. FX for you x x x

doomkittycleo · 03/04/2015 08:17

Oh epskie :-( I'd go to the doctor and get them to check your bloods. Better to check than worry yourself.

doomkittycleo · 03/04/2015 08:14

I've been on pregnacare for 5 months. Maybe af is trying to settle cus it definitely seems heavier this month.

epskie · 03/04/2015 06:07

Totally and utterly confused now! I've had 5 bfp's (faint but definite lines) just done a clearblue digital and it said 'not pregnant' Sad has anybody got any advice please? I'm 18dpo and 5 days late for af. So scared and confused right now

hewy · 02/04/2015 23:05

Evening! This is my first post. Congrats on the BFPs and commiserations to those who have waited and waited but have AF ??
Ok to join in? I'm on CD14 of (usually) 26/27 day cycle so think I ovulated today. Haven't monitored o but sore boobs today and ewcm for last 3 days. DTD for the last three nights, this morning and off for more now! Exhausted!! DH very willing to oblige (for now). Last night we used KY jelly and now I'm anxious that it'll ruin chances this month. Anyone any experience of ky while ttc?

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 22:55

Try googling doom, I know it's not great to have a shortish luteal phase but not sure if 10 days would be a problem, or could just be your cycles settling down.

Ive read peoole have success with supllements also to lengthen it?

FortySixandTwo · 02/04/2015 22:41

Ah Doom sorry. :(

Terry, Step away from the stick :)

LaraNotCroft22 · 02/04/2015 21:13

Oh no doom :-( That's awful timing.

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 20:17

That's 2 25 day cycles in a row now. 10 day leutal phase. Could this be due to the pill or will it be a problem?

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 19:16

Sorry doom, bad news.

MalibuDaisy · 02/04/2015 19:06

Oh doom that's pants! What a little b!tch that AF can be :( Flowers

SeldomAthleticFC · 02/04/2015 18:54

Oh, doom. Sad Nice timing, AF.

I am in the TWW, although I have no idea when I ov and not much idea when AF is due. Maybe on Saturday? Maybe next Thursday?

Just wanted to say that a couple of months ago I had AF cramps for about 3 days before AF appeared which I'd never had before. In my case it signified nothing at all. Over the last 5 months I've had loads of "symptoms" but no BFP, which is why I've resolved not to symptom spot any more.

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 18:31

Finally decided to take a test, then af showed up while I was waiting for the result :'( :'( :'(

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 17:54

And huge congrats drolove, really pleased to see another BFP!

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 17:53

Ive been really quite silly today and POAS. I am only 8 DPO.

It was a FRER and there was one of those super faint shadow lines, but I know from previous months that these are a common ballache with this type if test. But it's enough to make me feel all obsessy!

Why do I do it. Naughty terry.

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 12:58

Thing is with being off the pill recently I don't know what my normal period pains feel like. I've got dreadful backache today which I don't think I normally get.
