Hi,

Just worked out I'll be able to test from 25th March 2010. I am determined not to POAS any earlier, obsess or eat my own body weight in chocolate before then.

I would really appreciate some support?

This will be month 14...

Hi, just wondering if I could join too? Due to test 28th March...I have this week off and it's now possessing my every thought...pleased I found you all!
Boobs def tender, the odd twinge and couldn't finish my dinner when out for a meal, it just tasted all wrong!! (never done that before) maybe a sign or just a dodgy restaurant.

Good Luck to everyone

Just to update that last post ... couldnt hold it to lunchtime so went and dipped a 20 miu internet cheapie and got a positive within two mins - as it faded to white there was a clear (but faint) pink line. 3 bfps are good enough for me at this early stage - am not going to use FR for a couple of days as they test at 25miu and might not pick anything up yet - have all three sticks in a line and am looking at all three lines in amazement.

Am not even due till the weekend so will keep fingers crossed that this is a sticky one - hope everybody else is doing ok.

rosieposey · 23/03/2010 07:38

Ok retested this morning (at 4am) as could only hold on till then - i had held it for 5 hours as opposed to 8 yesterday and did two tests and they were negative.

Cant think how i could get two false positives from two separate tests but i am going to hold on and retest later today if i can hold on for long enough! If i get anymore negs then will probably think that maybe the sample yesterday was TOO strong iyswim and caused them both to not work properly - cant think what else it could be tbh as am looking at them both today and i can still see both faint lines.

Good luck to anyone else if you test today

Waves enthusiastically hello to newbies

Ok i have no self control and couldnt wait to start testing - i am the epitome of a poas addict arent i?

Well nothing this morning - not a thing. I had a busy day so realised at 4 today that i hadnt had a pee since 8 this morning and thought with a stronger sample i might as well just indulge my little obsession. Used two different htps - the super cheapie 10 miu one (i had five left over from last month but am still about them) and another internet one but not the cheaper one iyswim they have plastic outer casing and are supposed to be 20 miu.

Anyway pee'd on them both and couldnt see anything exciting after three mins so left them and went back later (about 10 mins) when the background had gone nice and white and saw two very faint but definately there pink lines. DH saw them too and i said i wasnt going to worry about evap lines this time as a positive on two separate tests from the same sample is looking good i hope. I will test tomorrow morning with First Response but i have had two very faint positives this afternoon so i am keeping my hopes up.

No symptoms at all yet, mind you if i am only early which i must be (as only got positive opk last sunday) then implantation only taken place in the last couple of days and need very very strong wee to get a positive!

Looking forward to seeing how everyone else is getting on - eggs you are on my cd and you oved around the same time too right? Fingers crossed for us all.

Panda pinched nerve not good ,rubs sympathetically> - but you're right, it MUST be a symptom Hope its feeling better!

Morning fellow boob prodders!

How are we all this glorious sunny day?

I think we should start a symptom list, please feel free to add yours

a) sore boobs - obviously
b) feeling funny
c) twinges
d) itching to POAS
e) ravenous hunger
f) knicker watching

CD26 for me today. Had a few twinges, no sign of anything yet.

Who's testing and on what day?

I am not going near a stick until CD28 and even then its only a far away dream....

PandaSam · 22/03/2010 08:34

Everyones gone a bit quiet lately - too busy spotting those symptoms?!

Did a FR this morning but still bfn - still a bit early though. Must try and hold out another 6 days!

Have been having really bad nausea though and yesterday morning woke up with a pinched nerve in my neck (which if you google hard enough then can be an early symptom!!)

Hello to the newbies and fingers crossed for you
both

meatntattypie · 21/03/2010 13:07

could i join? due to test on the 31st but as i am not regular, could really be from then onwards.

fell "funny" which means absolutely naff all

fingers crossed.....

mamaof1wantno2now · 21/03/2010 12:09

hi i'm new to here, i'm due to test 30th march (grin),
already feel nausea on & off, cramps in my stomach, also loads of hot flushes which is not me as am always cold even when its hot outside,

rosieposey · 20/03/2010 22:12

How is everyone today?

I have been symptom spotting (basically putting two and two together and making 7 ) but in all honesty i dont think anything exciting is going on - have felt a bit rubbish today so feeling that there is a good chance that i am not pg this month.

Will get cracking on the reverse psychology tomorrow and that might work too

Comon the 25th! (although will do my First FR on the 24th in the vain hope that something might come up but blatently wont

PandaSam · 19/03/2010 17:54

Sorry - should have said "then I'll have tender boobs"

PandaSam · 19/03/2010 17:54

Hi eggs

No symptons AT ALL for me! (although if I keep prodding my boobs they bruise - then I'll tender boobs - then I MUST be pregnant )

Did POAS this morning - BFN obviously. I wasn't surprised or particularly disappointed. If anything I secretly felt a little smug that the test couldn't yet detect my HcG levels!!

I'm CD24 but usual cycle length is 30/33 so I've probably got a few more days after you.

SpanishLady · 19/03/2010 16:49

Hi eggs,

as I understand it the average is 7-10 days for implantation so your 9 is plenty!!!

simples

eggsovereasy · 19/03/2010 15:05

Hi everyone,

any news? any new symptoms to report?

I am now CD23 and 5dpo, my usual cycle length is 27/28 which means at best I'll only be 9dpo when I'm due this month.

OP posts:
HappyGirl1 · 19/03/2010 14:59

Completely agree - I desperately want this for DH, seeing him so upset after I MC'd just made me love him even more if that's possible and I'd just love to make him happy with this. they are sweeties

I know what you mean about every twinge!! it's funny how when you are ttc you notice all these movements and twinges isn't it? I'm sure they must have been there forever like but just don't notice them before now!

SpanishLady · 19/03/2010 14:38

aw thanks and to you too - you know 3/4 of my hopes are for my husband he is so eager and hopeful - he'll cry buckets if I did fall pg as he is a bit puddle of love really (he'd hate me saying that!)

  • I am of course imaging all sorts - every pang, flicker, cramp etc is of course a baby even though I think at this point medically impossible.

whats also funny is I am getting those tummy 'movements' well all over so unless this 'baby' is speeding around my midriff, bouncing off internal organs and the walls of my body, I am just nuts....grin

HappyGirl1 · 19/03/2010 14:32

oh poor spanish lady - that's exactly what i was talking about earlier.. i do think once you pass your OPK day you feel like its just ages and ages away.. having been there this day last week i can tell you that once you start hitting day 6/7 dpo then you start to feel hopeful again that maybe just maybe things might happen this month.. Fingers crossed for you Spanishlady

SpanishLady · 19/03/2010 14:22

I am really unsure about when I ovulated (if I did) - did CB smiley face OPK on Tuesday (Day 11) and got a positive/smiley face - so as assuming if I did ovulate (had quite painful stitch in my side that day and the next)then today is Day 14 of my cycle and possibly 3dpo or 2dpo but as I read you can ovulate up to 3 days from LH surge might even be just 1dpo

still with me?

so anyway still plan to just test on the day I'm due on which is Friday 2nd April or in other words..a lifetime away

HappyGirl1 · 19/03/2010 10:34

LittleB - boobs being heavy def a good sign!

I dunno I just don't think it'll happen for us this month as this will be straight after an MC but apparently it does happen sometimes - we'll see. Waiting waiting waiting.

I totally agree while we are waiting to POAS then we are optimistic.. it's such a cycle i find i go from being disappointed AF is here, to being determined around the OPK time, to being disappointed so long to wait to find out, to being optimistic it might actually happen!

Who knows though who knows

LittleB · 19/03/2010 10:23

Happygirl, that sounds promising, let us know if you hold out until tuesday[wink}.
Pandasam, can't believe your dh did a poas! pmsl!!!
eggs - are spots a symptom too? I've got more than usual, an I do think my boobs might be heavy!? Will have to ask dh later!
Rosie, its hard waiting isn't it.
In some ways though at least while we're waiting to poas we're still optimistic, if i poas on a stick soon I know i'll get bfn and be disappointed, but still slightly hopeful until af arrives. I know I won't be able to help it though. But i'm really going to try and hold out until thurs, which is day26 of a 26/27 day cycle, so if I use a fr I should get a correct result, right? It helps that I don't fanmcy testing before work and i work mon-weds. Still I've got a wedding next sat, at least if i get af I know I'll be able to indulge in some champagne!

HappyGirl1 · 19/03/2010 09:53

Got home last night in PJ's and DH was like 'your boobs look huge' - I had thought that all day after the boob prodding going on on this thread yesterday but didn't want to let myself believe! Then we both looked at each other and were like no no no it can't be.. funny taste in my mouth the last half an hour too.. could it be metallic? Honestly I just do not know how i'm going to last the next few days.. I did take atest this morning and got a BFN surprise surprise given that i'm only at day 22.. I've got no tests left now either and we have a really busy weekend ahead so i think i'll try and hold out to buy one on monday to take on tuesday morning.. will I last though!!?

HappyGirl1 · 18/03/2010 19:42

So have I PandaSam and eggsovereasy!! Honestly all day been feeling and wondering!

Just been speaking to a friend of mine who was a midwife and she reckons I may just get AF early this month after miscarriage.. I guess in one way that's good as less of a wait and can start trying again properly then but equally I was half hoping that I may be pregnant! Hmm.. I haven't told her we started trying straight away though as she had suggested we wait a month for dating reasons etc. Hard to know

PandaSam · 18/03/2010 19:09

Just read through all the posts since last night and thought OK I might try and POAS (just to see what happens!)

Went to the bathroom to look for them in the cupboard - not there. Phoned DH to see if he knew where the were and apparently about a week ago he decided to see "if he was pregnant"!! (TWICE!) - then he reliably informed me that he's not

Probably for the best - would only be a BFN. Will have to go out at the weekend on a scout for BOGOF offers to stock up again.

eggsovereasy I do love your sympton list! I've spent all day jiggling my boobs about!!

rosieposey · 18/03/2010 14:11

You dont know that eggs, i have made up my mind to try and have fun with this - even though i cant wait till next weds so i can start testing (i might sneak a cheeky one in on Tuesday though) i am going to test each time with the thought that i am absolutely not pg - that was it will be such a lovely surprise if and when it does eventually happen.

Not much point in symptom spotting here either as i only get sore boobs as a symptom anyway and sometimes (with the expection of DS) it comes later rather than sooner.

eggsovereasy · 18/03/2010 13:44

i might start POAS from 23rd...

will somebody stop me

Symptom Watch

Boobs are feeling very heavy today - tick
