well i didn't manage to hold out til friday, did a test this morning and got a faint positive . But even dh could see it without his specs so it's def there!

emma2617 · 12/06/2008 08:25

Congrats Little thats great news!! I like to hear of BFPs when I check in in the morning...sets me up fpr the day!!

Hope every one else is okay!

Flower Sorry AF got you, but as you said at least you can time everything next month and get some serious BDing done...heres hoping for a BFP next time!!

Hi Rachrox,
step away from the clearblue! I've got 1/2 a dozen ebay cheapies and i've promised myself a bar of green and blacks butterscotch choc if i hold out until friday to test (AF due sat 14th).
Having said that if AF is due to visit you friday, there's no harm at all in testing again tomorrow...............!

Rachrox · 11/06/2008 21:35

Hi all,
How's everyone? Just thought i'd let you know that i've just done a test (cheap ebay one!), and can see very very faint line!!!! Trying not to get too excited as it is so faint its almost imaginary .
I'm now wondering if i should use the clearblue one i have, just don't want to waste it yet ..lol..
How's everyone else getting on? When are you all due to test?

chocciedooby · 11/06/2008 21:00

Well you're not alone there DBM!I tested this morning as well and got BFN.
Going to be tooing and froing like this for another week I suspect.

dinkyboysmum · 11/06/2008 20:52

silly silly silly
dont know why i did it! tested this morning, and suprise suprise got BFN! not due til sat, so will try wait till then (yeah right!).

Meeely2 · 11/06/2008 13:08

i tested yesterday evening after much badgering from DH - still neg. AF would have been due yesterday going by 31 day cycle, not due til next tues going by last months cycle - 38 days.

So thats it now, no more testing. I am convinced I am not pregs, feel very bloated and achy and low, so think AF is just around the corner.

chocciedooby · 10/06/2008 20:44

Any more BFP's?
Still aching and picking up on every little twinge.Not tested today.

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 20:10

Hi dinkyboysmum.Yes I was hoping it was a good sign too.Wish you the best of luck.
Keep us posted.

dinkyboysmum · 09/06/2008 20:01

choccie: i'm the same! EWCM around O time (confirmed with opk), and then have had it on & off ever since?! hoping its a good sign?
Nellstar: many congratulations! hope its a sticky bean for you! i'll be off out to buy First Response then...

Meeely2 · 09/06/2008 16:19

good luck in sticking to it Emma! My problem is my DH, he more keen than me - but I stay strong in front of him, then sneak off and do it myself!

emma2617 · 09/06/2008 15:39

Meeely I have done the same this month...done 5 tests already and only 11 DPO!! Im not testing now til Thursday...despite the delivery of 2 x First Response tests this morning!!

pollyblue · 09/06/2008 14:05

I started testing five days early last month . I am a pillock. Absolutely not testing until friday this week.

Chocciedooby, maybe the probs you're having are to do with having your coil removed? I don't have the endo typical painful or heavy periods either, i was diagnosed following two sudden, severe bouts of pain and a doctor who was on the ball. Hope your probs are just blips and you haven't got anything to worry about. that you weren't scanned in april though.

Fingers and toes crossed for lots of BFPs in the next week!

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 13:45

Been there - done that too
Can't help myself

Meeely2 · 09/06/2008 12:54

i need a virtual slap - AF due tomorrow (if we going by 31 day cycle, due next tues if we go by last months cycle) and i tested this AM with an "early detection" HPT....twas neg.....

tell me to sit on hands til at least 18th.........

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 12:50

Hi Queenie. I would say "go for it" .
I had EWCM on CD8 and then nothing til CD17.Haven't a clue really when I ovulated but decided to go on achiness.Problem is achiness has continued.
Just go for it to cover all avenues

queenie1 · 09/06/2008 12:38

Hi all - congratulations Nellstar! Great to hear things are going so well Heron! And welcome to Polly Blue!

So a question...I'm CD12 and have loads of EWCM today (but nothing yesterday). Does this mean I have ovulated already, am ovulating NOW or will very soon?

Me and DH had sex Sat morning, evening and Sunday evening and need to know whether I should be seducing him again tonight and tomorrow, or whether the deed may already have been done???!!?

xx

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 12:27

I am going to stay positive and hope that I get a BFP next wk

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 12:26

Thanks Pollyblue.
When I went into hospital in April with unexplained abdominal pains and bleeding they were supposed to scan me but the Dr. there refused to on the grounds that my test was a BFN .
He did ask me if I had had a Laparoscopy before.I haven't so will keep fingers crossed I am pgt and don't need to go through that.
I don't have heavy or painful periods, I did however have the Mirena coil but that was removed about 10 months ago.

pollyblue · 09/06/2008 11:58

Can I join your thread please? . I'm on my 2nd month trying to conceive dc2, AF due saturday 14th. Hoping some of Nellstar's good luck rubs off!

chocciedooby, I've got endometriosis and it can cause various symptoms, most commonly very painful/heavy periods, bowel problems, difficulty conceiving...it can vary from woman to woman. If you're having unexplained pain see you gp - endo can only be ruled in or out by a laparoscopy which he or she can refer you for.

Good luck everyone!

chocciedooby · 09/06/2008 10:22

Thanks for your advice Heron.I still have the aching but its not really what I would describe as painful.Have decided to wait until my AF is due (15th)and if I am more than a few days late and still getting BFN's then I will see the GP.
I have 2 DS's and they were conceived very easily.I would be shocked if I had fertility problems but then I am a few yrs older now.
How is everyone else doing?Any more BFP's?

heron22 · 09/06/2008 10:03

hi choccie, how about going to see your gp and asking to be referred to a fertility clinic?

Nellstar · 08/06/2008 18:10

Thanks heron and chocciedooby. I'm not an expert chocciedooby but if you're worried maybe a trip to the gp would put your mind at rest. There must be a thread on endometriosis here somewhere? Sorry not to be more helpful.

chocciedooby · 08/06/2008 14:55

Not sure whats going on with me I am on CD 21 and 9DPO (I think). I have been experiencing abdominal pain since ovulation and have also had EWCM on and off for last 9 days. What is happening to me???
I am anxious now as I am wondering if I will have a strange month again (like April where I was convinced I was pgt, was 5 days late with all the symptoms only to start bleeding clots)sorry TMI. I have done a test ( silly I know as far too early) and got BFN as expected.
Is it normal to have these pains for so long? Is it normal to have EWCM on and off like this? Beginning to wonder if I have the startings of Endometriosis?

chocciedooby · 08/06/2008 14:43

Big Congratulations Nellstar!Great news. Hope it rubs off on the rest of us.
