Hi all

I thought I'd start the June bus as I'm getting impatient!

I'm 31 (for a bit longer anyway), TTC#1. DH and I agreed to start TTC in May, but won't be ovulating till about the 24th. ETD 8th June! Feeling terrified and excited at the same time.

Join me if you will! Smile

Do your tests have an expiry date on the packaging?

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 12:18

I tested 3 times yesterday and this squinter is my 2nd test of the day Grin

Butterpuff · 01/06/2016 12:17

Writer how many times a day are you testing??

Will 2-3 year old tests still work? I bought 5 internet cheepies last time round and have 4 left....or maybe I should splash out and buy some more!

Shock Grin writer excellent!!!

I've not been on MN for a while as really busy, but now we are getting towards testing time I had to come on and see.

So exciting writer, I hope that is a line for you.

AF is due around Sunday for me, at the moment I'm not feeling positive. No achy boobs. But a few odd pelvic niggles and back aches too early for AF reminders. Who knows. I guess ill find out next week one way or another.

Good luck everyone, looking forward to hearing about more test results. Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 12:06

Holy f**k - I think, think, think that I have a squinter!!!! Shock

BertieBotts · 01/06/2016 11:00

Ah sorry Writer. Next month perhaps :)

Julia2016 · 01/06/2016 10:53

Writer - I was the same when I got pregnant with dd, I just knew. The morning I tested I knew the result. I wish I wrote down how I felt at the time.

I'm 6dpo today but I've honestly know idea what's going on. I've given up symptom spotting, plus it's my first month on Clomid so god only knows what that does. I have lower back pain and constipation but that could be anything. I think Clomid increases progesterone so that can be the constipation reason. Had a blood test yesterday at gp's to check progesterone levels, will know Friday about that.

Fingers crossed for you all. x

babydances - I'm a famous headliner, brilliant Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 10:25

My problem is that for my previous two pregnancies I just knew I was pregnant, something inside me felt different and taking the test was just a 'paper exercise' as such because all it was doing was proving what I already knew.

In both those pregnancies I had also gotten my BFPs at 9dpo and 10dpo so to not even have squinters at this stage doesn't fill me with hope.

I think I've accepted this isn't my month, which is fine, just looking ahead to my next cycle Grin

FriendlyGhost · 01/06/2016 10:14

Don't give up hope. It's rare to feel symptoms this early. The egg can take 12 days to implant and you might not get a bfp until a couple of days after that. It's not over until the evil af arrives! When are you due kn33 and writer?
No symptoms here either. I feel dizzy, tired and achy but that's what happens when your toddler is awake between midnight and 6am and you wake up on her floor. It was a nice reminder of what having a newborn's like. I'm sending my womb instructions to make me a sleepy one next time!

babydances · 01/06/2016 09:50

My update.... 6dpo and have a week to test. Hmmmm thinking I'd be better off not analysing every twinge but it's difficult. My boobs have been very painful for 7 days now. That's quite a long time and didn't have that last month. Had a couple of shooting pains in my groin this morning but I fear I will over analyse everything and be disappointed if I'm not as last month I was convinced I was pregnant. Can't test till the 9th. May do a day earlier. Ttc is so unnerving Confused

Kn33 · 01/06/2016 09:50

10dpo also babydances

Think its feeling worse as if I'm not this month it's going to be put on hold...
Unexpectedly offered promotion, so if it's already happened great, if it hasn't then I'm deffo going to be waiting a few months before thinking about it Sad

babydances · 01/06/2016 09:28

Btw writer I think you are on the front page of the mums net website with the toddler name question?

Laura05 · 01/06/2016 09:28

I'm confused this morning writer
Woke up to heartburn! The only time in my life I've ever had heartburn is whilst pregnant. Backache and cramping have subsided but still feeling a little 'wet'
This whole conception thing doesnt half mess with your head! Haha!

babydances · 01/06/2016 09:26

writer don't feel sad. You still have a few more days to get a positive result. Are you using the early poas?
Many of us I assume will not get a bfp but there's always next month. We've done all we can and just have to keep going.

kn33 how many dpo are you?

Kn33 · 01/06/2016 09:07

I feel exactly the same this morning writer Sad

Writerwannabe83 · 01/06/2016 07:25

10dpo, all symptoms have disappeared and another BFN.

I don't feel pregnant either.
I think I'm out of the race Sad

MrsGsnow18 · 31/05/2016 23:03

Now watching the full thing, it is actually so incredible to think about conception.
But so funny to see people being sperm and I love this quote
'Like most men, he knows nothing about the miracle of engineering tucked away in his pants!' Lol! Grin

MrsGsnow18 · 31/05/2016 22:57

Laughed so much about this 'great sperm race' really cheered me up!

Mbire I think I might splash out on some clear blue smiley ones next month too ( if I still need to) All this sticks for peeing on are costing me quite a bit of £! But I guess since I've given up caffeine and alcohol I'm saving on my weekly visit to Costa and the odd bottle of wine at the supermarket!

BertieBotts · 31/05/2016 22:49

Hope nobody minds a TMI but made me smile.

DH not feeling too well but put in the effort to DTD today because I thought I had a temp dip yesterday. We only had 20 minutes until DS was due home from school and neither of us felt particularly sexy so ended up having to do a lot of start-stop and tricks to get, er, the goods. Afterwards he said "What an unromantic way to make a baby" and I said it was really exciting and we could tick it off our experience list now Grin

I'm sure the novelty of TTC will wear off at some point but for now I'm laughing at myself.

ThePartyArtist · 31/05/2016 22:26

Sending good luck to everyone.

I tested today - couldn't resist - and got a negative. However still no period! Feel in limbo, getting anxious now.

Good luck with yours, everyone.

Mbire · 31/05/2016 22:10

Thanks MrsGSnow glad to hear someone else is experiencing the same. Think I will go back to Clearblue next month as expensive as they are. Can't go wrong with a smiley face! Thinking possibly my cycle has changed a bit as last one was two days shorter so maybe I tested too late. I am about 2-4 days before AF is here. Definitely do not feel pregnant but then I've never been pregnant before so who knowsWink

Writerwannabe83 · 31/05/2016 21:53

Oh no Laura Sad

I'm feeling periody-crampy too tonight Sad

BertieBotts · 31/05/2016 21:52

Well that was hilarious and informative Grin

I think I saw a cut version though. Lots of comments online about a pig Confused There was no pig in the one I saw. Lots of people in white running through fields with dramatic music though.

babydances · 31/05/2016 21:41

Sorry to hear this laura hopefully it isn't Flowers
