The waiting game!!!

violet welcome! I think I missed that off earlier in a post previously! welcome to our crazy! :)

gakay just seen you posted at same time as me! Glad AF has arrived and you can begin again :) I want sushi!!! FX for you this month

sarah1391 that is good to know. I did another today, thought I was getting a line, but it didn't show, so I think its a BFN again! Was really hard this morning as had to get ready and do test all before a 6.30am conference call... I was just so tired, I didn't really get to thinking about it all properly... so was just disappointed when was on the call. stupid tests.

That is good to know re drinking as well, I think I will have a couple and just take it easy, I don't even feel like drinking these days anyway really.

How are you feeling today?

itwillhappen sorry for your BFN too... I agree until AF arrives its still a chance it could happen.

gakay haha yeah we do go on eh? You can get some spotting early on sometimes so perhaps not out yet?

hopeful that's so exciting :) and thanks for the FX :) we shall see what happens over the next few days. I feel like I have all th signs it should be positive, but alas it hasn't been this am. We shall see - going to order some of those Amazon ones today, and try with one tomorrow and see if shows anything. least I can take them away with me easily too so I can always check there if need to.

soda I think it is too early to tell when first off pill re ovulation, so prob best if doing tests going with that, if not we dtd frequently around the time we thought it would be and then when we fancied on other dates. I think sometimes when just off pill can take a while for hormones to get back to normal, I still feel like mine were a bit low and it took me 4 months for them to come back after stopping the pill in Jan. I would record the data you can on Ovia and then it will become more accurate for you, like today it told me I was on my AF well in fact I am not, so I corrected that as it was when it was expecting it.

So today I have been emotional, I am so tired, and I don't have any of my AF symptoms, but last night my boobs hurt so much - almost like growing pains feeling - I don't ever get pains in them, so was thinking perhaps this am I would get a BFP but it didn't. I kept having dreams about my AF arriving - which was freaky! Clearly its all playing on my mind a lot more than I realised, well up until this am anyway! I just wish AF would hurry up if it is going to get here already!!!

I'm so excited! My AF has finally come. New cycle, new hope. And it also means sushi is in for dinner tonight!

sarah those could be early pg symptoms too. Remember I felt dizzy and down and tired all the time when I was pg b4. Fx for you.

soda am also drinking alcohol as normal too, which isn't too much. Don't want to change my life too much as it's going to get me more obsessed with getting pg than I already am or its just an excuse
That's quite a difference between the 2 apps. Is it the first cycle data you've put in?
I find OPK quite helpful to narrow down the fertile period so I don't need to be too obsessed with checking my body for other signs.

bourbon and itwillhappen sorry about bfn. Perhaps too early to tell?

Welcome violet - I interrupted these girls too as they're very chatty and welcoming

sarah sorry to hear you're feeling a bit down.

I'm drinking alcohol as normal until I get BFP. I haven't told any of my friends I'm trying and it would be too obvious if I stopped drinking. I don't want the added pressure of people knowing. I'm due AF at the start of June when I have a wedding so will be sure to test the day before that and obviously not drink if the results are good and use the antibiotics line!!

I downloaded ovia and it is pretty! I have been using Mydays. Can I ask some advice? I've put in exact same data in both apps. Mydays says my fertile time is from 15-20 of month whereas ovia says its 19-23 and I have a fertility score of 1.0 at the moment! That's quite a big difference! I'm expecting to ovulate on 20th (at least I will if I follow last month but that was my first month off pill). I'm using OPK sticks so don't miss it and with being on the pill so long (10 years) I want to try and understand things better! Any thoughts?

Sorry for essay! Hope everyone has a good day xx

Hi hopeful yeah i'm better today thanks although still tired! No i never feel dizzy unless i'm ill so maybe coming down with something. Poor dog didnt even get out a walk last night! How are you feeling?

bourbondreams its still early days as maybe AF is due on the weekend .. but that’s a good sign that your not getting any of the usual signs for that showing up… I have a good feeling so im keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Welcome violet how are you holding out on not testing?

Thanks for all the congrats still very early days, the test says 1-2 weeks pregnant so I just gotta keep my fingers crossed it sticks and im trying not to get too excited, which is impossible!

itwillhappen sorry about the bfN but its great that your thinking positive.. I think that’s the best way to look at it – it’s a fresh month and another chance

sarah1391 you feeling ok today? Do you usually feel a bit dizzy before – only saying because ive felt dizzy on and off for the last 2weeks

You girls have been chatty!

Sorry bourbon and itwillhappen for bfn.
Am still spotting for the 6th day but af not shown her face yet. I couldn't be bothered to test again yesterday as knew af is imminent and had a kir royale. Have never missed my AF so much.

After reading so many of you here use ovia I've downloaded it. It does look a lot prettier than FF.

Good luck to those who are testing today.

itwillhappen sorry for BFN, could it just be too early? Its weird because i dont actually drink, i had a few drinks around xmas time and probably only a few drinks this whole year then as soon as we're ttc theres suddenly a family thing - which just so happens to be his uncle showing off his new bar they've built in their house (HUGE house). As soon as i get a BFP i obviously wont drink at all but i think 1 or 2 ciders at the weekend should be ok (not expecting a BFP this month really but sods law i'll have a drink then get one!!)

bourbon i've been told that the tesco ones arent sensitive enough to show up before AF is due so fx ur result is different next time!

on another thread i'd asked about drinking as DPs uncle is having a family get together thing this weekend (and i cant really use the excuse of DP is drinking and i'm driving considering DP is away just now) so its fine to have a few drinks until ur about 6 weeks pregnant as it doesnt affect the baby until then

I'm feeling a bit meh tonight...tired, sad, a bit dizzy which is weird. I get quite emotional before AF arrives (my only sign that AF is on her way, although i dont normally realise thats why i'm emotional until after shes here!) so hoping thats not why

Thanks sarah1391 and sorry my message was short - I was needing to get on with dinner otherwise hubby would wonder what I was up to replying with a longer message as soon as got in! haha. I am thinking it isn't even past when AF is due so not worried. Its due tomorrow so we will see, I will order the ultra sensitive ones from amazon tomorrow and then try them on Friday when they arrive, but I will prob try my last tesco one tomorrow. I've not had any AF symptoms like I normally get - they are so bad with my endo I know its coming days before it does normally... I have no idea what is going on if not though... we shall see :)

itwillhappen did you test yet? I am keeping FX for you :) lets get some more BFPs on this thread :)

I'm keeping positive until AF arrives... But think I prob won't drink this weekend if it hasn't arrived as not sure its worth the risk? What would you all do? Obv I still have today and Friday to get a result or AF so who knows... I have a feeling its more likely to be AF...

Sorry bourbon fx it was just too early

It was a BFN

violet hi waves from the other thread i know u from

Hiya can I join you all? Lots of imminent testing on this thread, very exciting! Hopeful congrats on your bfp! Can't believe your managing to keep it a secret so well! When does he get the good news?

I'm currently 6 DPO on my second cycle ttc number 1. Testing a week on Saturday if no AF before then, so ages to wait yet!

Good luck to you all!

hopeful - so pleased for you! Fingers crossed it sticks. So hoping it happens for me so quick too - and the rest of us on here! Xx

Fingers crossed to you all girls. I was symptom spotting like mad last month and had convinced myself I was going to get bfp even though it was first month TTC and only just off pill! I think you spend so long trying not to get pregnant that you just expect it to happen right away once you've decided you're ready - or at least I did!

I'm a bit behind you in cycles - on CD9 now so gearing up for lots of ermm doing the deed over the next week! I'm going to be an absolute nightmare in a couple of weeks I can already see it!

Xx

will let you know later how it goes. desperately trying not to be too hopeful though. It just doesn't seem possible that it could have happened first attempt especially with my endo. Just seems too much of a miracle!!

bourbon yeah it's pretty good :) fx u get a BFP later!

hopeful thanks :) i've got my hopes up far too much for it being my first time! i've heard a few people saying that they get cramps when they are pregnant though (something to do with the embryo etc...) so i'm sure it's fine! haha oh well when u do tell him he'll know exactly why!

sarah1391 im keeping my fingers crossed for you.. ive heard on here aswell that its sometimes takes a while to show positive on tests even after AF was due.. so even if the first one is neg , your not out until you get AF
My lines are faint so im hoping they get darker over the next few days.. Im getting the odd cramp and im already panicking
Last night was difficult! I think I went to tell him like 10times so in the end I said I was tired and was going for a bath then I went straight to bed and fell asleep with him still downstairs haha, he prob thinks im annoyed with him now

sarah1391 Yes I find the emails really useful and I like the information that it gives on screen when you put details in. It definitely helps to understand a bit more at times.

hopeful I have purchased some from tescos - as nearest shop for me to get to, and will try them tonight. we shall see, if not i can try tomo am, and also order the ultra sensitive ones just in case to check :)

Am feeling anxious now, roll on home - time and being able to go and have a quick test! I was so worried I would bump into someone from office when I was in tescos!

Been so hungry today... I have tried to cope on salad and fruit, but really want some sweets... must not break!

Thanks hopeful :) depends what the first response one says as i'd said to someone on here about the tesco ones and they're apparently not that sensitive...fx i get a BFP, must be so exciting! How are u managing keeping it from DP? I'd be terrible lol

Sarah1391 everyone on here seemed to be recommending them, I bought a bunch (well, 10) cos I didn’t want to spend loads of money on store tests and they all turn out negative… I’ve done about 4 internet tests and they have all shown up with a faint line .. so I would def recommend buying them to use then you can always buy the store ones when you get a bfP to confirm… but then if you’ve already got the first response and tesco ones fingers crossed you don’t need to be buying anymore!!

bourbondreams its worth a shot tonight, even if nothing shows up you can just test again in the morning… youl only be thinking about it if you dont
