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?!

The teacher has chosen a dress for the whole class to make so she can show us techniques etc.

Thanks littlebunny that's positive reassurance.

I think my partner is just worried about me. He hates seeing me upset and wants me to be kind to myself so I don't go through the tears and tantrums each cycle.

Hate not being able to control everything Confused!

Can I join in?

AF was due on Tues. It's still not here, and this is the longest I've waited since 'records officially began' (we started TTC in 2013). I POAS this morning for the first time ever (always held off for AF before), but got a BFN (and also set off the alarm in Sainsburys when I bought the damn thing, and had to show it to the security guard!)

Very strange. Have never been this late. Feel a bit queasy. Feels strange that lots of women on threads like this get a BFN and then a week later get a BFP, when these tests are supposed to be 99% accurate! But I really think it should be wrong this time. Especially as we're now waiting for referral for IVF, which I really don't want.

Gah.

littlebbunny · 23/04/2015 07:59

Joining in, hope you ladies don't mind.

Temp I'm expecting af on the 29th. Going to hold off till the day after.

Doom last cycle, I got my bfp after 3 months of ttc and had no symptoms, sadly that ended in mc but everyone is different. A friend of mine is about to give birth and she had no symptoms until the end of trimester 2. Keeping my fx for you.

Temperamental Oh lovely what are you growing, I'm a novice gardener and just started planting my own veggies (I think I've been a bit ambitious as they don't seem to be growing very well) Do you think you can hold out to the 28th ? AF due tomorrow for me but I'm starting for feel that heavy feeling now so think she'll make her monthly visit :(

Doom Phew didn't want to sound stand offish. Sorry you are having arguments with your partner, Its awful isn't it :(. Sometimes partners do not understand the pressure we feel on a monthly basis. Have you decided what to make yet with your newly acquired skills ? Fingers crossed for your no symptoms :) xx

doomkittycleo · 22/04/2015 22:00

It didn't seem insensitive forty, I agree with you :) I'm doing a lot better at not obsessing than last month.

Just a shame my partner and I have argued quite a bit since last month, mainly cus he's fed up of me stressing. I'm trying not to worry about worrying.

5dpo and absolutely no symptoms as far as I can tell tell. Guess that's a good sign cus months when I have had symptoms af came.

Lovely weather here and lots of pottering about in the garden, which is a great way to pass the time. Work tomorrow for me, a slightly less great way to pass the time as I don't really like my job, but the day goes quickly. Af due on the 28th for me, am going to avoid early testing this time.

Oops sorry doom just reread my last comment didn't mean for it to sound rude was lighthearted MN stole my smiley sorry Blush

FortySixandTwo · 22/04/2015 15:29

Ha ha doom where else but on a tww thread would 2 day car troubles be seen as a blessing

FortySixandTwo · 22/04/2015 15:27

Ah fuzzy disappointing news sorry :(! No idea how you go back to just enjoying the journey but if you find out come back and let me know :) I'm sure there's more than a few ladies on here looking for those answers. unfortunately x

fuzzywuzzy · 22/04/2015 15:06

Good luck everyone, I'm out this month, spent a few days feeling really upset, but I can't do that.

How does one go back to just enjoying it, I feel like I am just incredibly anxious about getting pregnant and it's making me crazy.

Keep telling myself it will happen wen the time is right.

On the upside I've never been so in tune with my body before!

doomkittycleo · 21/04/2015 21:59

I'm actually doing quite well so far. Had car trouble past 2 days so with all the stress of that been too busy to think about possible symptoms. I'm 4dpo today so it's likely to get tougher at the weekend as I'll be less busy.

FortySixandTwo · 21/04/2015 14:22

Thank you TemperamentalIts really pants I feel like ive let life slip away from me (Im 38 in a couple of months) and I really dislike that feeling, Silly isnt it all those years of trying not to get pregnant .. I mean who bloody knew how hard it would be .

Fingers crossed for you for BFP this month :)

I decided last month not to buy any more tests until AF is late by a few days I haven't had my regular bout of POAS the last two months. Im strangely missing it ;) and it doesn't help that DH is a worse symptom spotter than I am with his blooming app on his phone :).

running that's so disappointing for you, especially as you had a feeling. forty I have had that sense of wishing your life away. Sometimes you need to let yourself feel the sadness, if it's there lurking. I had trouble having my first dc (recurrent Mc) and for a long time felt I was only just keeping my head above water. Looking back it's all a blur. Flowers for you, hang in there.

running sorry to hear that hug

doom I've always fancied making one of those jacket dress things they look so smart . But I always end up looking like a sack of potatoes tied up in the middle .

Feel a bit low today not sure why just woke up feeling really sad like I'm wasting my time me with this whole effort getting excited and symptom spotting need a swift kick up the bottom I think

Runningupthathill82 · 21/04/2015 07:13

I'm out. Period arrived. Really thought this month was the one, too.

Sorry auto correct made a royal hash of those spellings

FortySixandTwo · 20/04/2015 18:35

Hi all I'm back on the tww again 8 dpi have horrible sore swollen boobs (normally get them just prior to AF never normally this early )
Trying to convince myself it's just AF working her evil . Don't want to get hopefully we're in the process of refer all appointments for fertility treatment so pointless having that hope but bloody hell it's hard to squash.

Hope everyone is doing okay? Let's hope for some more positives this time round fingers crossed for everyone waiting.

doomkittycleo · 20/04/2015 16:59

I have no idea, why don't you suggest something?

Runningupthathill82 · 20/04/2015 15:38

I'm currently procrastinating but will soon be doing some planting in the garden and then an exciting visit to the osteopath who I hope will be able to soothe the screaming pain in my shoulder. What do you plan to make Doom?
