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

i would tbh, those tests are ok if you are a compulsive stickwetter, but if you want an answer they arent that accurate. get a 2 pack from tesco instead, £3 for 2.

these are the simple strip ones off ebay - look like the ones the doc would use if you rolled up thinking you were pregs (only cost 49p for 10) - single sachet, have to wee in a pot then dip stick.....should i bin em and get the £11 for 2 ones?

Hello fellow stick-wetters - had a faint positive with CB - more obvious when it had been standing for a while and then 2 negatives with first response. Was 2 days and 1 day before AF due (if cycle 28 days, sometimes late).
Anyone else had a false positive test - I know it says to disregard changes in test after first 10 minutes but can't help hoping - although don't feel pregnant.

Hi all,

That time of the month again! AF due next Saturday - have managed half the 2WW without thinking about it (too much ) - need some help for the last 7 days...

OP posts:
YouNeverKnow · 29/04/2008 21:14

YouNeverKnow · 29/04/2008 09:43

well im due sometime in the next week i think?!
slip up was around the im sure from what was happening at the time was same time of ovulation which was 12th.

amytheearwaxbanisher · 28/04/2008 23:11

hi all ive benn ttc for three months now and for the past few days have had extremly tender boobs but am not due af until the 5th of may though we did what needed doing at the right time[have a 34 day cycle]dont normally convince myself untill much nearer af im in for a fall amnt i?

ClairePO · 28/04/2008 23:00

Only 7 months since mc. For the first few months after mc I didn't have any boob pain pre period but before pregnancy had always had sore boobs pre-period. So for me it is normal. It's all about what is normal for you I think. So if it is not normal for you its a good sign just because its not a sign for me doesn't make it so for every woman. I hope that all makes sense What I mean is good luck and I hope it is a good sign for you! When are you due your period?

YouNeverKnow · 28/04/2008 20:57

claire how long have you been trying?

i have not noticed it like this with my period only when i was early pg with my previous dd's

ClairePO · 28/04/2008 20:44

I have noticed from charting that I get sore boobs a whole week before my period arrives. Sore boobs arrived bang on time on Saturday. It's bloody hard this getting pregnant business isn't it.

stripeywoollenhat · 28/04/2008 20:31

due next tues, have sore breasts and am very conscious of smells - but it's only 5dpo (short luteal phase) so i think that these are psychosomatic symptoms rather than real ones... and i am not poas this time around, may as well only be depressed once rather than several times...

YouNeverKnow · 28/04/2008 19:49

boobs still hurt sooo tired no af.... yet!

roquefortlover · 28/04/2008 18:26

Hi evryone again! i am due on Friday/Saturday but really do not feel pg so am not tempted to test atm...have said I will if no period by Monday but I feel v crampy so don't think I'll get that far...

ClairePO · 28/04/2008 10:51
