CE, hugs for you, sorry about AF

Cathers, fingers crossed for you

Bonkerz, hope Dis clearblue brings you a BFP!

my boobs usually get back to normal a couple of days before AF comes. it is still sore today, i am grasping at straws. daydreaming that i can do my own blood test! hmm, all i need is a lab, some neddles

Just bought a hpt from e-bay. Won't be here till at least wednesday! ( Thought that would prevent me from going to shops and testing before
Keeping fingers crossed, 8th month ttc, with one m/c now so starting to get slightly peeved. On positive though did opk test and bd appropriately so never know. AF due 2 morrow. Tough isn't it?

bonkerz · 21/04/2008 18:21

well i am due on on thursday/friday so on the final countdown. Feeling ok just REALLY tired and backache but thats more to do with car boot on sunday which meant early start and lifting boxes! Keep telling myself no point testing till weekend atleast but you never know! Have a tube of cheapy tests off ebay in cupborad and disenchanted sent me her clearblue test which im hoping will bring me luck cos she just got BFP

hi choc, i am super excited as well. this is my 2nd cycle ttc. AF is due on thurs am, or wed evening.

still got sore boobs. usually by 2moro boobs will be less sore...if AF is coming.

i really hope i am this time, but not feeling overly positive. did lots of BD and at the right time as well.

sometimes i wish that i can be put into a long long sleep (like until thurs am) and then when i wake up, it will be AF day or not! this waiting does not suit me at all

how is everyone holding up?

Teuch, it is a good thing not to have hpts at home

hello girls

STEP AWAY FROM THE TESTS!!!!

LOL at the peeing quick in the morning so you can't test! Not possible if you're temping though as have to take temp first before getting out of bed!

CD30 here, due on wednesday. Temp still high which is a good sign I think. I'm getting a tiny bit excited now! Is anyone else?

Really hoping the BFP rubs off!

YouCantTeuchThis · 21/04/2008 12:10

the trick is to get on the toilet asap when you wake, so that you don't have time to test with that first pee

I think I might order hpt's...can't decide...

ohjoy · 21/04/2008 11:21

i fell into temptation yesterday - used an internet cheapie to test BFN of course. i hope it was too early to test 10dpo.

i am shamed

AF due on thurs - it is monday today - nearly lunch time! so i aim to be strong!

cathers · 21/04/2008 09:39

Morning ladies!
So this is the week at last - Haven't tested yet, not even got any in the house for fear of weakness! AF due tomorrow, very sore boobs ( as usual) so not overly hopeful. Good luck every one!

Hi Teuch, i am doing good. so far have managed not to test...even though i have got lots of HPTs at home.

Yes, you are right, i am also hoping the BFP will rub off on me

keep in touch. AF for me is thurs morning.

i actually was tempted to test this morning...but didn't. had to get DS to a birthday party ! Phew!

sorry to hear AF got you Flower. But like you said, you can now work out your next ov date. Good luck

YouCantTeuchThis · 20/04/2008 14:36

Hey Heron, how you doin'? I'll join since I am due Friday and you already have a BFP on this thread so I wanna piece of the action!!

I was using OPK's but I dumped them this month (well, I actually peed on every stick in the house at end of last cycle ) and I have no HPT's in, and no way of getting them before midweek at the earliest...

flowerfairy · 20/04/2008 13:53

I'm out. Af arrived this morning after being ill last night and 2 weeks of awful pms. At least i can start working out best time for next month. Good luck to others

Congratulations! You must be thrilled.
I'm not going to test till thurs probably - used clearblue digital OPK this month and BD according to instructions! Fingers crossed, and good luck to everyone.

flowerfairy · 19/04/2008 17:58

Congratulations that is reat news. Fingers crossed for more BFPs

ChocolateEclair · 19/04/2008 17:01

hi cathers, welcome

good luck, are you going to wait until 3 days after your AF is due?

i want to do that - but not sure if i can hold out that long

did you use OPKs?

OP posts:
cathers · 18/04/2008 12:10

And me please!
Am now on CD 24 - AF due on 22nd April. First ovulating month since m/c in Feb 08 and ttc since Sept. Good luck everyone - not going to buy preg test till after tues in case brings bad luck!

hi beck, flower and choc! welcome!

i too have managed not to test so far
wasted so many test kits last month and nearly drove myself batty in the process.

i keep saying that i will wait until AF does not appear on thurs and then even on fri.

good luck to all!

OP posts:
flowerfairy · 17/04/2008 21:21

As much as i can't stand the waiting, i hate the disappointment of the -ve even more so refuse to buy any tests untila t least 7days after af should have arrived. Then maybe will put this saved money to a nice treat for me, to help me destress.

ChocolateEclair · 17/04/2008 20:50

I will join you ladies . I am on CD26 of 31 so due on next wednesday. I WILL NOT TEST!!! I keep repeating that over and over. So far very restrained I think!

I don't think I have any symptoms at all so not feeling hopeful.

This is cycle 3 ttc #1. (tested early last month with tears so refusing to fall into trap this month!)....or so she says!

beckmo · 17/04/2008 20:40

My PMT symptons are the same as my (last) pregnancy symptons too...which is really annoying. Went through about 10 tests last month.
