Anyone waiting to test around 18th July - please join me

i tested again this morning (AF not due till bout Friday): BFN.
greenbeanie: how confusing for you! I drove myself mad squinting at the lines taht were/werent there. i now prefert he clearblue digital. It spells it out to you quite clearly. (although i have been known to break them apart and get the test strip out & try and decipher that [bliush]) Test tomorrow with FMU.
Cote: sorry hun, enjoy yr lemsips & give it another go next month!
Yarnie: temps sound promising, how was it today?

Sorry, Cote. hope you'll be well for next month, Greenbeanie, how exciting! A line is a line!

Yarnie, how do you temp, then, do you just take your temperature at the same time in the morning and it drops just before AF? might try..

this waiting is killing me!

Poor you, Cote and sort-of sorry for the BFN, although yaay that you can go and get drugged up. I hate waking myself up with my snoring. I'm always faintly embarrassed by it!

I had a sleepless night, coughing and awaking to my own snoring (I'm all gunked up). Finally at 5 AM, went and did the test, saw my BFN, and downed several Lemsip pills.

Better luck next month

Hants I wish my shops were further away so I didn't have the urge to test Well done on your resolve, anyway, in your position I think I would have been off on a hpt expedition!

Cote sorry to hear you are under the weather. Have you tested yet?

I'm temping and AF is either due today or on Friday. A very high temp from me today, so not expecting AF today. It has got my hopes up a little as I would have expected a lower temp if AF due in two days.

I'm going to try and bury my head in the sand until Saturday. Help me not to test!

I'm sitting here with a cup of tea with lemon and honey, feeling sorry for myself. I'll test tomorrow morning. It will be several days before AF, but I can't take this throat infection anymore and would very much like to take some real medicine if I'm not pregnant.

Maybe it's the universe's way of softening the blow of an impending BFN - I almost hope I'm not pregnant so I can hit the pharmacy first thing in the morning.

doh! Meant symptons NOT systems! My cycle is usually 28 days. Though maybe takes a little longer for body to adjust after coming off pill, though has been quite a few months now. I also have lower back pain, and twinges in both sides of tummy, but similar to pp. From what I have heard of other people, no 2 pregnancies are the same, so we can't necessarily compare from our previous experiences. No I haven't tested again, only due to me not having any and not able to get to any shops until friday. Will do then if no AF, that will be 7 days over.

Gemzooks - you prob tested too early like me and a few others. That link made interesting reading, made me feel more positive about the possibility of getting a BFP. While we are all still waiting for AF there is hope! Hang in there. PS Is CM what I think it is? dis....?

hi all,

phone was at home, thank God, but glasses also annoying. hants, have you tested again? it sounds very promising!
dinky, lots of cm is a very good sign, I had it with DS..

Cracked and did the second test. Neg. But still holding out hope as AF not due till Friday..

Hants You're well over your AF due date now, aren't you? Are your cycles regular?

Not sure if this is a symptom but I feel soooo hot! Have felt boiling for the last two three or four days. So weird..

Have heard increased CM can be an early preg symptom. Usually my cm drys up just after ovulation.

Gemzooks, I'm the same as you with systems - seem same whether pregnant or not! Never tried testing the cervix, what will it be like if I am pregnant? Everyone still resisting the urge?? AF still hasn't arrived.

Hi DinkyBoysMum. I usually get a bit of an increase in cm before AF. I have heard of some who found they had increased cm before getting a BFP, so you never know. When is AF due for you?

hmmm, not sure what to make of all this.
today i have loads, and i mean LOADS, of cm.
why???? does anyone else note more cm just before af? or (she asks hopefully) any increase in cm before bfp???
have never noticed this before, but havent really been looking!

Well, my uncertain ov date has thrown me into disarray. I got a high temp this morning. If I ov'd on CD13 that would be unusual and some cause for mild excitement. If I ov'd on CD15, it would not be so exciting . I have sore (.)(.) which is not a usual premenstrual thing for me and localised cramping (before I AF I usually get a dull, hollow ache which is not localised). I don't know what to make of it all and wish I could be certain about my ov date!!

Has anyone been doing any sneaky testing

Gemzooks - losing stuff can also be pregnancy brain

morning everyone,
thought im the early bird to get up n go to MN this morning but i was wrong! couldnt sleep much nowadays..
thx for the info gemz, btw i could not reach it and also re your glasses n phone..must be terrible to lose it..
coteDAzur, i hope u get well soon..
the nasty flu, cough bug is around this time of the yr.

lost my glasses and phone on the way to work this morning, which is definitely very premenstrual..

good luck everyone! test day approaches. Hope you feel better soon, C D A. Nandos, I think low cervix = easy to reach. It's not hanging out or anything! . Around ovulation you can barely reach it..

I will test tomorrow, though AF not due till Fri, but feel very premenstrual and period painy so not holding out much hope..

I have a nasty throat infection, no voice, and a painful cough I will test tomorrow morning so I can take medicine if not pregnant. It will be 25th day of cycle, so hopefully at least a faint line will show if pregnant.

oopsiee

Hello, may I join you? I, too, am expecting AF on 17/18. Have been feeling nauseous for 3/4 days but then again both my husband and I feel nauseous today due to horrible fatty Waitrose readymade food yesterday, so perhaps not a sign. Also have had spotting- or maybe implantation bleeding- but I suspect the former, unfortunately. What type of OPK and pregnancy tests do you guys find best please?

I admire you for holding out, C'DA and Nandos..

I've been pg 3 times now (DS and 2 m/c) and think I had symptoms before the positive test, but then I've had the same in months when haven't been pregnant, and the imaginary symptoms are just as strong! annoying!
