Symptom spotting - not due for at least another 3 days (only had one cycle since m/c in June so not quite sure) but just caved and did a HPT. BFN obviously.

But - waking most nights to go to the loo (which I never do) and could smell the red bull that someone was drinking near me on the bus the other morning. Am also feeling v sicky of an evening (had that with last pg, but clearly didn't end well )

I promised DH I'd try not to get so obsessed about getting pg again after the m/c but it's very difficult!!

Anyone else need to stay away from the clearblue for a few more days?

Hey everyone, well I am on cycle 1 ttc DC1! So a true novice in this world.... AF due tomorrow. Am already nervous and keep rushing to the toilet to 'check' (eew!) I too have a serious testing habit and had to randomly empty the bathroom bin at 7am this morning to hide the remnants from DH!! He has absolutely no idea how much I have spent on tests....!! Even before we were 'officially' ttc I would normally test, 'just in case'!! Oh dear......

Hi ladies, i am on another thread but thought i'd add my worries to the worry-pot, i am a week overdue (possibly - had a small bleed 2 weeks ago) and very strong symptoms, nausea, weeing lots, bloated, very tired, sore boobs etc but all i get is BFN.

I am cycle 2 (1st cycle ended in M/C) and ttc number 2, so similar to you guys.

Crap all this symptom spotting huh.

Cycle 1 (after m/c) trying for no 2. Got pregnant cycle 1 with DS, and cycle 2 for m/c so hopefully not too long

Have a confession. Have no self control and did the other test (I know - couldn't possibly have a BFP after a BFN this morning, so another BFN...but it took slightly longer to decide (it was a digital one) - does that mean anything?

At least they're all out the house now (and my DH has no idea about my testing habit either!! )

cycle one trying for dc 2.....conceived cycle one with ds one so hoping for same result!...doubt it lol but hey i am up for trying again.....and again.....yes cakes.....erm my dp has removed all 10 of my tests from the house..she already knew I would test so was one step ahead of me and i am under strict intructions to buy no more.....i promised too damnit!

Well in that case in my experience you're buggered. I can never have a test in the house. I'd be there, 1st thing in the morning, hiding the rustle - DH is unaware of my testing habit!! Maybe that's the answer - give it to DH for safe keeping!
I am due on 17th ish and am counting the days. Have promised myself to try reaaaaaally hard not to obsess, but as you can see just by my being here I am already failing a bit!!!
I am in cycle 8 trying for no3, how about you all?

Am so glad it's not just me

Sorry I didn't find your thread nelix - and like you itsall, have sort of convinced myself I am (got the spots too ) but now trying to convince myself I'm not so that I'm not too sad when AF arrives.

Now - how do I stop myself testing again tomorrow (yes, I bought the twin pack!!!)

itsallsoscary · 05/08/2008 12:46

Well, I tested this morning (BFN ) and AF due tomorrow or Thursday. Am convinced am pg, but used the firstreponse that claims it is 98%accurate 2 days before AF due and can be used up to 6 days early.... So maybe am not
BUT sore boobs, spots, timed BDing perfectly (i thought)... WHat is going on?!?!?!
