There is a squinter there i think! tentative congrats......
I have had a BFN on a digi but was confused about the sore boobs and cramping so did an opk this eve and got a strong positive (cd24) so looks like a v late ovulation and long cycle here.... luckily i can dtd tonight so hopefully i will catch it! At least i can have a NYE drink tomorrow....x

Mummyme87 · 30/12/2016 19:54

I can see a line aswell!!!!!

Lots of sharp groin pain today, not my normal AF signs

minime2016 · 30/12/2016 19:38

You've good eyes love cos it's a proper squinter lol!! I've never had one on a hpt, only opks. It is pink here but am not going to mention it to DH yet. Been googling the chances of a super faint line at 6 days late being a positive. I'll try again tomorrow with a frer/digital.

Lovechild2016 · 30/12/2016 19:27

I can see a line! Xxx

minime2016 · 30/12/2016 19:17

The line is honestly a pale pink 🙈

TBH the photo isn't great. Here I can see a faint pink line but on the photo it can't be seen. Weirdly since doing the test my boobs have been sore, I've got dizzy and has increased cm. psychosomatic much??? Confused all probably indicating the imminent arrival of the witch!

bluebell17 · 30/12/2016 19:00

Do you have a picture minime?

minime2016 · 30/12/2016 17:51

So the ICs didn't turn up today, went about my business, but the 6days late thing has been annoying me. Came home and rooted through my cupboard to see if by chance there'd be one fallen from the pack-lo and behold there was 😯sooooo i poas and am currently looking at a either a very pale squinter, an indent line or an evap line - I can't tell! As I'm 6 days late I'm not getting excited as I'd expect a bfp line to be super strong.

Mummyme87 · 30/12/2016 16:11

I have lots of back ache and pelvic discomfort today. Hope it's not AF thinking about starting

Trytowin · 30/12/2016 15:03

Thanks Hippy

I'm not out so far but we'll see sitting on my hands to stop me testing again. AF due today.

Had to go out to lots of stores yesterday for hpt as most stores sold out! Something in the water! Deffo online shopping next time

Mummyme87 · 30/12/2016 12:07

Can't stop poas!!!!! 11dpo and BFN still. According to my last cycle, AF came CD26... I'm CD25 today. However 26-28 day cycles are normal for me.

White, gloopy CM today. Pelvic discomfort still side to side and very low abdomen, just above pubic bone. My left breast had some 'colostrum' droplets when I squeezed it (in my last pregnancy I was able to express from 20weeks)... but maybe that's normal for me at this stage of my cycle. Arghhh, I'm driving myself loopy. Have had a google and apparently the PG test strips I'm using are not very sensitive so might pop to Superdrug when the boy child wakes up.. apparently rly they are super sensitive

Lovechild2016 · 30/12/2016 11:23

Thanks hells it's encouraging to hear although a BFN for me again so think it's unlikely as now 2 days late and no symptoms (although actually since I'm only 3 months off the pill and had been on it for 16 years so who knows what my cycles are doing!) sorry you're feeling rubbish power horrid when you have ttc going on too, feel better soon. Gosh minime I had to do a super stealth boots shop, hope your ic arrive and provide a happy answer for you. It seems tis the season for AF to be late! dont give up those who she hasn't arrived for yet especially those still in the tww, I agree with hippy it's very much like Pringles except a whole lot more expensive and less satisfying, although the craving to test and know is also overwhelming and I have to admit to not being very good myself! Smile

minime2016 · 30/12/2016 08:38

Morning all! Binky I'm in the same boat. I'm 6 days late and darent even think it's for a good reason in case af suddenly appears. Waiting on ICs to arrive to test. Went on a shopping mission yesterday and in every shop I went there were people I knew-small town rumour mill would have begun so i decided to wait. Ive had such back ache and feeling like af is about to start but there's nothing. Hopefully the tests will arrive today and put me out of my misery one way or the other!

Hippychic79 · 30/12/2016 08:12

Good luck bunny xxxx PMA xxx

binkybunny · 30/12/2016 07:26

Hi guys not had chance to catch up yet but still clinging on. AF not arrived BFN on Christmas day and the 27th testing again tomorrow as AF now a few days late but don't want another bfn. Back ache sore boobs and cramps but trying not get hopes up!

Hippychic79 · 30/12/2016 07:07

Welcome Try xxx
Fx for you too xx

Hippychic79 · 30/12/2016 07:06

Flowers for you power xxx
Sorry to hear your feeling poorly again my friend... this tTC lark is stressful enough without the flu getting you too.
In terms of testing - it's probably a bit early so I'd give it a few more days if you can. I know that's easier said than done - once you start poas it's like Pringles - hard to stop until you pop :))) xxxx
Hi mummyme - probably a bit early too, your not out yet... fx xxx
Hi hells xxx

Trytowin · 30/12/2016 01:43

Hi can I join?

End of first month of 'proper' seeing what happens lol. I feel really odd can't stay awake for the last few days and with boob pain ( on the inside iyswim) plus feel a bit more veiny and back ache.

Could be wishful thinking!

I'm 30, dh is 32

AF due today done a couple of cheapy tests so far but bfn however distinct impression the cheapo ones I bought are not great so bought another cheapy brand for if af doesn't show. Good luck everyone!

Just been using my calendar app to track and using its calcs to show me my fertile week.

HellsBellsK · 29/12/2016 21:06

Just popping in to see how everyone is doing.
Fx for everyone waiting to test!

Lovechild I had cramps - but more like stabbing pains I would say. My back started to hurt like AF was on its way... Its still sore now.
Enjoy the spa!

Mummyme87 · 29/12/2016 20:51

I tested tonight and it looks negative 😕 Only 10dpo though. If you stare long enough at a strip I swear you can see a line 😂

powerpuffer · 29/12/2016 20:11

I'm still clinging onto the December bus - to join the January bus would feel like admitting defeat to me!

I started feeling very poorly last night and at midnight I was so feverish I sobbed so loudly in our downstairs loo that it woke my husband! I didn't have the energy to climb back upstairs and have the worst flu like symptoms. I spent the night shivering and sweating and crying as I felt so poorly. 24 hours later and I'm still feverish despite paracetamol (consistent 39.5 temperature).

I tested this morning at 9dpo and it's negative but I'm wondering if this could be implantation symptoms? I know it is unlikely, I'm just trying to see a positive in this horrible situation. I had full blown flu before Christmas and had felt mostly better until yesterday when it's come back even worse than ever. I'm feeling very sorry for myself (and my very tolerant husband!).

BertieBotts · 29/12/2016 19:17

January bus is already up and we've had people testing already! Fingers crossed for you Kski.

Kskifred · 29/12/2016 18:04

Feeling really off and queasy today, I can't tell if it's my body having enough of the rubbish food or there's more in it, I had implantation sickness with my ds so hoping it might be the same but so hard to tell with Christmas!

Lovechild2016 · 29/12/2016 12:02

Sounds very promising mummy! And same for you minime, hope those tests have arrived. I'm off to a spa now so likely AF will arrive just in time (debating whether to pop a tampon in... Tmi apologies)

Mummyme87 · 29/12/2016 10:43

Can't retest as I am working all day until 8pm... in maternity but we don't have pregnancy tests here. I did an OPK last night for some reason and was almost positive it was so dark. Will retest tonight with an HCG test!!!!
