Hi guys, mind if I join? I've been following this thread for not-testing inspo, AF not due until Thursday (around 11 DPO I think but didn't use OPKs properly this month). Caved this morning (not really in the spirit of the thread I know Blush) just to 'see'. Was immediately cross with myself and fully expecting a negative.. and got this!! I'm not going crazy am I?!?

Deffo a line! Congratulations Oak Flowers

Thanks batgirl I'll have a look, I've just ordered a basal thermometer and more opks off amazon. Onwards and upwards!

Oakcrescent4 · 28/01/2018 08:11

Okay - what do we think ?! AF due today but short luteal phase so only 11dpo. This showed up after 2 mins.

Help me not test today!!

Oh Saturday I'm sorry to hear that.** Have you heard of this grapefruit juice thing, or could be grape juice? I was reading about it somewhere on MN and people were saying it's a thing that women do in America to increase fertility. I saw a few people on MN saying they had tried it and it had worked.

I'm sure I will get my head around it. End of the day it's a very much a wanted baby. It's just that our circumstances make it hard. We'd been talking about having a third but couldn't bring ourselves to agree because of so many factors being stacked against it and we were trying to be responsible. Perhaps this is natures way of saying it's the right thing. In the meantime I've told DH and he is going round turning off lights and turning the heating down. He keeps saying it'll be fine and then talking about all of his money saving ideas!

SaturdaySauv · 28/01/2018 07:31

Congratulations batgirl! Hope you start to get your head around it soon

Bfn for me this morning. I might go back to opks and try temping next time round.

Good luck to everyone still to test Flowers

Batgirllikesgin · 28/01/2018 06:32

I'm pregnant.

Very feint lines but I don't normally get anything more visible until I'm a few days late and I'm not due until tomorrow. I've attached a picture because I know the rules but it's hard to see in a photo.

Happy because we always wanted three but this is from ideal timing. Practicalities (small house and lack of money) mean that it might be a struggle right now. So feeling anxious right now.

Help me not test today!!
Batgirllikesgin · 27/01/2018 20:18

I've been out all day so no chance to test which has helped. Spoke to DH and he thinks I'm off my rocker. He says it's not possible because we used a condom. I have felt rubbish all day and so glad to be sat down!

Alida87 · 27/01/2018 17:07

Went out and bought the test, soooo tempted to just do it now but holding off! Feel crampy and bloated today but just worked a night shift which always messes with my system 😟

Oakcrescent4 · 27/01/2018 16:28

Feeling crampy like AF is coming - due tomorrow, but no spotting yet which I normally have!

Lol @Doodlebug89 I do that all the time!! I think I'm going to go out for a walk and try to distract myself.

Doodlebug89 · 27/01/2018 11:45

Oops. I didn't think my earlier message posted, sorry for the repeat!

I am trying to keep busy. I just keep thinking if I test and then AF comes later that day (which happened last month!) then it will be £5 down the drain (I only have ClearBlue Digitals)

Doodlebug89 · 27/01/2018 11:44

Also trying to wait until Sunday! AF was due yesterday, no sign yet. However I was 2 days late last month too. No symptoms except constant sneezing!

Trying to wait until Sunday too. AF was due yesterday, no sign yet. A little bit of cramping, but have had that for a while. The only real symptom that I've had is constant sneezing (very unusual for me) for the last week. Fingers crossed AF doesn't show up!

Is it wrong that after I went to the toilet I thought "damn that was a good strong sample" 🙈😂🤣 we have to laugh about this or it'll seriously annoy us!! I know what will be will be but I'm just so impatient to know!!!

Realistically I think I'm humouring myself. I'm not good with working things out and we weren't even trying this month so I'm not sure of my exact ovulation date but going by Flo I am 23dpo which is too far on to not get bfp...unless I conceived late and then implanted late...but even then I think I'm too far past it?

Oakcrescent4 · 27/01/2018 09:23

The temptation was real first thing this morning!! But have a busy day ahead to keep occupied thank goodness

Of course you can @SaturdaySauv fingers crossed we all get our bfp!!!

Please can I join? TTC #2 for 4 cycles.

This cycle tried eating better, drinking less (definitely necessary post Christmas!), taking vit D and pregnacare, preseed and five days soy isoflavones. I didn't use opks though as it was stressing me out a bit so I'm not entirely sure when O'ed. I think I'm probably about 10 dpo.

I'm not completely hopeful as we might have missed a couple of important days dtd and when pregnant with my DD I felt great in the tww where as this time I'm irritable and emotional.

I'll try to join you all in holding out til tomorrow- although I did test yesterday morning bfn. I must have wasted £70 on tests over the past few months, scary really.
