Hi ladies just woke up from a bloody awesome nap feeling less frustrated and stabby

I don't check or chart my cervix position. I can just feel if it's higher when we dtd lol

I have woken up with a new mindset:

If I am, I don't need a blood test to confirm and it won't change just by having a blood test delayed (if if the worst happened I'd rather think it was possibly AF than a MC)

And if I'm not, we'll I just got another 3 days to get upduffed and HCG in my system... I'm not oup until AF shows her face. Right...?!

Stick with me ladies. Encourage my craziness 😂😂

LisaTheGreek · 08/01/2016 10:44

Agree with Kat - I have no idea how to know if it's low, medium, or high. How do you decide? Is it just a matter of checking regularly until you notice the difference on your own?

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 10:23

I have no idea about cervix positioning. I always ignore that bit of Ovia. How do you know how high it is??

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 09:53

Any other cervix checkers here? When do you normally notice it becomes high? Before or after EWCM appears?

I'm due af on Tuesday, so unless I come on before then, I'love test Tuesday or Wednesday. I can always manage to eek it out once the actual day arrivesI still don't think I am, pragmatically thinking, I think I'm just noticing things I didn't notice so much before, like feeling sick before af, usually I'd just assume I was cold/fluey, now it's a symptom! Do you know what I mean?

choc thats so annoying! Ooh that's frustrating! Flowers
Sorry to all those who have got af! Chocolate have some chocolate and wine! Wine

lara thank you for that ... that's really interesting!!

LaraG13 · 08/01/2016 09:14

Sorry to hear about AF sampy, evergreen and maybe ni.

LaraG13 · 08/01/2016 09:12

So frustrating choc. Came across this old thread, which you may have seen: www.circleofmoms.com/stay-at-home-moms/how-many-of-you-got-negative-pregnancy-test-results-but-were-actually-pregnant-504047

sampypants · 08/01/2016 09:12

Well that didn't last - woken up to AF this morning.

Anyhow, looking ahead to 3rd Feb. At least these shorter cycles mean I've got more regular chances Hmm

Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 09:05

Yep! One negative, one a debatable squinted!

Got positive results with superdrug and tesco.

Chemical pregnancy was expected... but I should have started bleeding by now hence the Dr's want a blood test and the midwife didn't even want that!

So so confused. I mean surely tests can't NOT detect HCG?! A couple of friends have said they've know the odd person it's happened to but just doesn't feel likely! :-/

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 09:00

Choc have you tried a FRER that I hear everyone banging on about??

I haven't had any symptoms or lateness to warrant looking into getting these as my AFs have come successively early since stopping OCP but if I had your symptoms id probably be POAVOS (pissing-on-a-variety-of-sticks)

Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 08:56

Mega frustrated. Still no signs of AF and had nothing since I stopped the mini pill (zeletta) on Dec 12th leonie ... I also conceived my son within a week of coming off cerazette back in 2011

Feeling violently sick this morning! May go and attempt to sleep it off!!

Evergreen15 · 08/01/2016 08:56

Sorry to hear choc! The wait :-( sucks

LillianFullStop · 08/01/2016 08:51

Oh no choc that would be so frustrating!

Ni4444 · 08/01/2016 08:43

choc that sucks!!! What bad timing for her to be sick!!! I'd be boiling with frustration! Hope you're doing something nice to survive the day!

I think AF may be here...

Bugmuncher · 08/01/2016 08:41

jamjar that's a great comparison!

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/01/2016 08:33

Lol @ ovia.

Leave us alone already! Stark take that bitch out with one of your boobs!

leoniethelioness · 08/01/2016 08:19

Sorry to hear that, choc

Still no AF? Remind me again, have you had any cycles since coming off hormonal contraception?

Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 08:13

And my day is off with a bang, the nurse has called in sick so they've rescheduled my blood test for Monday 9:55. Grrrrrrr.... 😧😧😧

Evergreen15 · 08/01/2016 08:06

Where does one purchase a ticket for the Feb bus?
Damn AF came this morning.
I was all, it is ok, positive thinking, this means that your cycle was 28 days which is good as I was on the patch until November blah blah blah
Then I get this email from Ovia:

"Do you mind answering?
Are you on your period?"

AngryAngryAngryAngry

Too soon Ovia! Too soon!!!!!

Starky test already! Smile

Evergreen15 · 08/01/2016 07:59

Aghh pissing myself on the train (and no stick involved) with starky "I could take a bitch out" ahhhh I love the good spirits here GrinGrin

firstgo1984 · 08/01/2016 07:59

jamjar I had the same yesterday. But then it faded a bit once it dried then next one was paler

Chocaholic88 · 08/01/2016 07:55

Oo remembered some of the symptoms I forgot when I posted last night seeing as I currently have them

Extreme thirst
FAR more hungry than usual
Odd tugging feeling behind belly button
Mild back ache
And the odd stomach cramp too (like AF but not painful)

Back on the 29th and 30th had 2 lots of EWCM with a hairline blood tinge through

Just did two Internet cheapies... Nothing. Not even a squinted in the 5 mins it said to read it in. Thrwe the unhelpful little gits in the bin and will just sit tight for the blood results. Soooooo confused 😨😨😕😕

Jamjar12 · 08/01/2016 07:48

I feel like these OPKs are actually teasing me on purpose now. Been getting these for a few days now but never stronger. Gah.

My lovely nerdy DH last night said he thinks conception is 'a bit like blowing up the Death Star- your guys have to go through all the tunnels to get to the centre, avoiding all the obstacles and gun turrets that my hostile innards through at it, and then Boom- contact'

I can't really get that image out my head now. It's a bit odd!
