OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

beckylou85 · 10/02/2010 19:15

spacefrog when my friend was pregnant she didn't show a positive test result until 2 weeks after AF was due. She did about 10 tests (CBD ones and FR). Maybe thats why you have had the negatives on the tests you did, just be patient and I really hope you get your BFP soon xx

Spacefrog · 10/02/2010 16:57

Coming for a moan...

So fed up, I've read the whole peeonastick.com website, I've read everything on the web on false positives, disappearing positive lines and false negatives and still don't know what to believe.

Odds are that I am not pg. I'd be fine with it really I would, I just want it to be over, AF to show up and move on.

Just found out someone else I know is preggers
Obviously happy for them but.......
Actually the person works with DH but hasn't told anyone there, it just happens that DH guessed and was joking with her so she fessed up to him. I get the impression it may not have been planned either so even more

Puts hand up....please sir, can I be next?

QandA DS was concieved as soon as I came off the pill so I get where Lorelai is coming from I suppose it is more 'normal' to have to try a few months but I guess I just wasn't expecting it (despite it being 9 years later)

I feel pretty much exactly like I did last month, sore boobs, occasional nausea, mild abdominal niggles, but these were all just PMT last time (think nausea is caused by being good and remembering my folic acid everyday) so, coupled with only SWI about 5 days before ovulation (because DH got himself poorly ) I think AF will be here in about a week

OP posts:
Lorelai · 09/02/2010 20:46

QandA, 'having a go still not an option I'm afraid - DH still sick today, am hoping that I still have a couple of days, otherwise I will have to give up on this month

In answer to your other question, DD was an accident, so didn't take very long at all! Which was why I was a little over-optimistic last month

Spacefrog · 09/02/2010 19:49

QandA it took me 25 months to conceive DC1, but that's because of known fertility issues. If it has/had worked this month I'd be at the speed of it this time!

I am not testing tomorrow, partly because I'm fed up of wasting my money on tests and partly because Thurs is my birthday and it would be either a nice present if +ve or some good vine if -ve.

QandA · 09/02/2010 19:23

digitalgirl (and mountain fairy?) , think you should allow yourself to have a little cry and a big bar of chocolate

spacefrog, what a rollercoaster of a day for you. Agree with the advice to try again in the morning. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Lorelai, I would guess it means you might still be, no harm in 'having a go' though

Have bought 2 first response early result tests today (bogof offer in superdrug). Am having to restrain myself to not do it now, even though it is definitely too early and we probably started ttc too late in the month for me to be lucky first cycle.

Those of you ttc#2, how long did it take you 1st time around?

Fairygodmother1 · 09/02/2010 18:57

Sorry that was Tuesday's stats - phone rang as I was doing it!!!!

Fairygodmother1 · 09/02/2010 18:56

Spacefrog I didn't know you can get a false positive. Are these people just toying with our emotions!!!! I'm staying away from sainsbury's then!

best of Luck Digital on the November Bus. Might see you soon.

Still no witch. Just cramps and the spotting yesterday but not today..... Its alright I haven't really got any hope for a BFP but the fat lady is yet to sing.

Digital it is horrid. I do understand. Hopefully the November bus is where it will end for you.

Spacefrog · 09/02/2010 14:27

Thanks digital and sparechange. I'm not hoping for too much as I've read several stories of false positive on Sainsbury's tests. I did a First Response and it was also BFN. I guess FR and CBD can't be both wrong, can they?

That's a nasty rollercoaster to be told one minute you're pg and then next you're not! Can't wait for AF to show up and dive in a large glass of wine.

Digital sorry you're hopping off. Best of luck in the November bus.

sparechange · 09/02/2010 13:47

spacefrog fingers crossed for you
Maybe test again tomorrow morning?

Sorry to hear you are down digital
It will be your time soon

digitalgirl · 09/02/2010 13:26

I hope it's a bfp spacefrog sounds to me as though the CBD isn't as sensitive perhaps because you weren't using first wee. Bet tomorrow it will be positive.

I'm jumping off this bus. . Am actually really really upset about it this month. Despite knowing full well that my chances were very low. I am at work and I just want to go back to sleep and have a selfish little cry.

Spacefrog · 09/02/2010 12:34

What a morning! I'm on CD33 with UCL 32, woke up and temp was still high so went to POAS (Sainsbury's own brand) and got a BFP within 3 minutes. I didn't make it out, it was there and DH saw it too. After a few minutes or so the line disappeared but it's said on the box not to read the test after 15 minutes.

I got really happy and decided to splash on a CBD to get confirmation... and got a "not pregnant".

WTF is going on???

Lorelai · 09/02/2010 10:09

Cano just check, if I am still getting EWCM, does that mean I haven't ovulated yet? DH has been ill and I am hoping we haven't missed the 'window of opportunity for this month'.

Spacefrog · 08/02/2010 22:43

BUnderTheBonnet mee too! You're supposed to test everyday at the same time after at least 3 hours sleep, which I find impossible. I've got a 1 year old, and she makes the 3 hours continuous sleep almost as hard to get as the consistent waking time.

When I was TTC#1 I found temping very reassuring, but now it's more confusing than anything. No idea when I ovulated this month and this morning DD almost stabbed me in the eye when playing with my thermometer (I know, she shouldn't ). Not worth the risk IMO!

If someone can invent a thermometer that measure BBT in one's sleep, there's a market for it (me).

BUnderTheBonnet · 08/02/2010 22:12

The thread disappeared off my "I'm on" list!!! I've been quiet for too long.

Hello new people!

No symptoms here. Feeling not at all pregnant. I did get an LH surge, so I suppose I ovulated, but barely any CM, so I'm not terribly hopeful.

I started temping too late this month for it to be of any use. I started just about when I got my OPK positive, and my temp did go up for three days, but it's gone right down again now. TBH I don't think I've got the self-discipline for temping Anyone else found this?

Got some spotting this afternoon. So may be hopping off the bus soon. Had 4 days of spotting last time before my period started properly, so again will wait up till Saturday if it doesn't arrive in full flow before.

They definitely need a wine emoticon. However will do.

QandA · 08/02/2010 17:39

Hello to the other newcomers, glad to have some more people to join me at the back

I have got another week before I can test, with my last pregnancy I was able to test 4 days before and it was positive, so I am going to try at the weekend.

Massive congratulations to bunny and frenchlimeblossom

MountainFairy · 08/02/2010 15:56

Hi digitalgirl and thank you. Ok, so let's decipher this stats code. Oh, btw, like I said, I have been trying on and off for a year, but only joined MN recently, so maybe for these stats I will call it Cycle 1?

CD37...managed not to buy a test while at the shops today. Thought I'd started spotting while out, but no. Beginning to get my hopes up now which is a bit silly. I need to wait till Wednesday - or preferably the weekend.
