Yes, its that time of the month, save your sanity (and the cash) by waiting as long as possible.

GMM think the sorry was for me lol. thinking of you lissie! fingers crossed

GluteusMaxiMum · 05/05/2008 13:01

Why are you sorry Lissie?

I'm going out now but just wanted to say hi and wish you the best for today. I'll pop back later this evening for a chat if you're about.

YNK I havn't read the whole thread and havn't chatted to you before so I debated leaving a message for you in case you felt I was butting in but I know that horrible sinking feeling when af arrives again and just want to acknowledge your post and hope you're doing ok. Take care.

good for you GM, leave it as long as possible!

GluteusMaxiMum · 04/05/2008 19:08

Ah that's really shitty. I don't want to get too personal, if you're sure, you're sure but remember if every pg woman 'felt' pg then we'd have no need for early detection or any other kind of test. Symptoms change woman to woman, pregnancy to pregnancy so if you're not in full flow then there's still hope.

I'm not too bad but cramping a lot. I'm hoping against all hope that it's not the usual af cramping. I have what I can only describe as twitching or bubbling below my navel and centered. I've never had this before so it's either a really good sign or I'm about to spend a long time in the loo with a pre-cooled loo roll I hate the way af symptoms change for me every month - for instance this month no sore bbs I get sore bbs every month!

I have tests but they're not ED ones so even if I wanted to pee on all 5 of them, I wouldn't be any the wiser. I decided today to wait until at least Thursday because I just don't want to see another bfn

i normally have a dead regular cycle, 2m ago my period was a week late. wasnt pg, was just late, last month it stopped then restarted, i doubt it is implantation, i dont feel pg at all!

how are you doing?

OP posts:
GluteusMaxiMum · 04/05/2008 18:37

I'm sorry Lissie

Please excuse my ignorance but are you sure it still can't be implantation bleeding? I'm really not too sure how long that's supposed to last if it happens or what colour to expect. How regular is your cycle and would 3days early be something that's happened before?

OracleInaCoracle · 04/05/2008 18:29

thanks, well smear of brown has turned into full on spotting. so period is here. 3 days early ffs!

GluteusMaxiMum · 04/05/2008 13:38

Hi Lissie, I have everything crossed for you (everything because I'm well passed OVing so no bding required )

I'm also expecting AF on Tuesday but will try to wait until Thursday (well, Wednesday but SSHHHH!!!)

I hope you come back to say you've not had any spotting since. Do you have to go on meds as soon as you get a BFP?

Chat you in a while.

hunnypie · 04/05/2008 13:32

why are they so expensive??!!

can you imagine if they were cheap??

how many would we do?!

OracleInaCoracle · 04/05/2008 09:53

really pissed off, had a tiny bit of spotting last night (just a smear of brown) could be implantation, or could be my period. im sure i didnt ov til thurs 24th so its too early to test. period is due on tues so cant decide whether i should test on tuesday or leave t til thursday. the advice i would normally give is "wait til thurs" but with my history we need to know asap so i can be scanned and start taking the drugs. aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh when did it get so tough?

Hi all. (Hi Lissie, thanks for the invite )

I'm here because, well this is what I'm like!!

I'm going to try to wait to poas until I'm at least a day late. Fingers Xd my will power will hold out until then.

I'm off to bed now but I'll be back tomorrow to hold-hands or distract if necessary and hopefully you can help me do the same.

Nightnight

that sounds like a good plan, the longer you can wait the better!

I'm on CD31, AF was due yesterday and I've stupidly pee'd on the cheapie sticks and got a BFN. Thing is, I have no idea how long my LP is , or when I ov'd so I don't know when to test. I think the Bank Holiday is my friend as it'll stop me running to Boots for a decent test until Tuesday by which time Af might already have arrived.

funbags · 03/05/2008 22:53

re boob thing - i still have a bit of colostrum looking stuff in my boobs, only comes out if i give them a squeeze - stopped BFing last August after doing it for 15 months. HV said nothing to worry about, but if its troubling you then ask!

OracleInaCoracle · 03/05/2008 22:28

you really need to get checked over, breasts with milk in at this stage is not normal. i have had 7 mcs at between 4.5w and 8w and have never had colstrum leakage.

OP posts:
YouNeverKnow · 03/05/2008 22:19

I tested again today as still nothing but another -ve

OracleInaCoracle · 03/05/2008 14:54

you know meeely, i absolutely hate those tests that claim to be accurate from 4-5d before your period is due. the odds of getting an accurate result arent great, they make a fortune out of women like us, who are desperate for a/another baby.

tsom, its not over yet! every pg is different. BUT if af does arrive then buy a bottle of vodka wine with the money that you have saved.

OP posts:
tsom · 02/05/2008 22:03

AF due today - not arrived yet but flat boobs suggest no pregnancy, not going to test again as agree is too depressing to have bfn and then still have to wait for AF.

Meeely2 · 02/05/2008 21:58

thanks for the advice! will send dh on a preg test mission while i am away at my folks! last time we used boots own and got a BFP straight way, but i was late, we weren't trying and it was twins!
