Hi can I join. Seem to have joined every conception thread lol. I am ttc with DC2 and have been trying for a few months. Feeling very positive this month and seem to have some symptoms (prob all in my head tho) I have stomach cramps and a tender beel and sore boobs! Not sure when to test cos dont have regular periods!

This symptom spotting is a blessed nightmare! HAve spent the last 2 days wondering if my boobs are sorer that they usually would be pre AF, or if its all in my head. On CD25 - should still leave it for a few days eh???

I'm CD19 today,still too early for me to test. I ordered some tests yday which should be here tomorrow, only cuz I have to walk 2 miles to town and i haven't felt very well for the past week I'm symptom spotting like mad and so far I've got every possible symptom out there. DP reckons I'm imagining them all tho lol I'm not gonna test until CD28. I bought early detection HPT's so we'll see how that goes. I'm gonna lurk on here for part opf today and then make cakes with DD lol

oops, i meant Fanlight - sorry

Morning all - thanks Fantail for comments about May/june babies - i would love one. my DD was born in december so i would love a spring or summer baby so that I can out and about with a newborn rather than being cooped up with a 4 year old and a new baby!! We shall see though, i know I can't choose and it will happen when it happens (she keeps everything crossed!)

Sorry to all those who have got BFN - Tink, its not over yet and Yellowflowers, save that Digi for a few more days!!

I am in a really grumpy mood today - am only on CD17 but feel really pre-menstrual- i get bad PMS and have woken up snapping DH's head off - maybe a bit of gardening with DD will sort me out!

How is everyone else going with keeping themselves occupied?

Hang in there. No AF so there is still hope.

Oh may I butt in to say that May is a lovely time to have a baby, mine were both May and early June

It's not over til it's over tink

morning girls , i tested this morning with my other boots hpt and was bfn
but still no af or even feel like it so still keeping fingers crossed

Hi can i join?on cd6 at the mo just took my last 50mg of clomid tonight,it's my second round on it.
Been ttc#1 for about 15 months with no luck,really hoping it works this month!
not due af till about 10th September so will be lingering around here for a while.Going to try and be strong and not test early like i've done before..
good luck to everyone xx

Hello makingafamily and nervousal, glad you could join us! We're all very good at symptom spotting and try our hardest not to test (although I can easily say that at CD15, but ask me again next week and I'll be sitting on my hands in an effort not to test ) Fortunately for me this month I'm away all next week so will have no chance to test, but will need lots of willpower the week after.
I thought the peeonastick website was great and full of stuff I didn't know (even after 4 pregnancies and 3DC). It's good to see someone is even more obsessed about testing than I am I have to say I have never even considered testing breastmilk!!!!
Keep strong nervousal, you will get there in the end I'm sure.
Good Luck tink, crossing my fingers for you

can I join in too? I'm 33, ttc dc #2 after 2 mcs, CD23 and desperate to test - I WILL wait till at least after AF due!!! I will - I will- I will

Thanks Tinks but AF hasnt done that this month as am starting TTC this month (we're a gay couple and are doing home inseminations) so are a little more planned than most lol

What about the test 6 days early HPT thats out at the moment, could it be worth trying one of those in the morning?

hi jlo2 and makingafamily , that website is great ! thats what a friend told me about opk's so thats why i got so excited
i've been looking into the boots test and it looks like there only sensitive to 50mhl or whatever so they are by no means the most sensitive so i'm still hoping
will defo test first thing coz going to a farm park 2moro with my friend and her girls so dont want to pet and feed the animals etc
anyway you're all great and sorry to hear af has taking your dreams away this month makingafamily
and thanks for the hug jlo2 i needed it.
will prob do loads more research on internet about opk's like an obsessed idiot
will post back in morning x

Hi everyone - good luck for the morning Tink - it does sound hopeful though.

the possibility of testing for me seems like sooooooo long away. I know they say you shouldn't wish your life away but its easy to do during the 2WW isn't it!

sorry to hear about AF FeelingDeviant - I'm sure some of us will be joining you in hoping for a June baby if we are not lucky this month. Can't decide if I feel positive or not about our chances for a May one now! - will just have to wait and see.

Hi Tink

After having a look at www.peeonastick.com (which i think is a fab name lol.) It looks like you can get a positive reading off an OPK before a HPT so wouldn't be annoyed with yourself. Sending you lots of BFP vibes

Got AF today so i guess that today is the official day of CD1 Cycle1 TTC DC1

By the way, there's a great explanation of the whole subjest of using OPK's to detect pregnancy on this website
www.peeonastick.com
Click on the OPK-as-HPT on the menu on the left.

Hi Tink
You sound like you're on a bit of a roller coaster at the moment so I'm sending you a virtual hug
Hope is not lost yet, although I'm sure the morning seems a lifetime away, I think that is your best bet.

ok just got back from town and did a test .... i know i should av waited until the morning but it was a bfn
i dont know if i'm angry at myself for caving in too early or if i'm angry coz i know i should av waited until the morning coz it is still early !
just done another ovulation test and that one is also a very strong positive
arrrggghhhh !!!
see what i've done to myself
i should've just waited
anyway got a twin pack so gonna test with fmw in mornin and see what that says
oh i bought a boots own brand and it does'nt say how sensitive they are any ideas ?

Good luck tink sounds very promising!

Thanks for all the stats Waitingtoexhale.

How exciting Tink! Will be expecting AF whilst on hols so will be very pleased if nothing happens and have to come home to test. Used ovulation sticks and got a positive, have had loads of sex (Tmi there!) so fingers crossed.

AF started on Sunday (10th). Will start TTC for second baby next week.
