Any one due to test from 25th March 2010?

MrsFC i am a terrible poas early type as well but know enough about hpt's that you can probably start (if you can afford it and so have the inclination) to start testing at 10 days (or even 9 if your really brave) dpo (days post ovulation) I never believed in getting a postive much before the day my AF was due until i got pg with DS (13months) i wasnt due until the Saturday but had the beginnings of achey boobs on the Tuesday, anyway Weds i bought a First Response hpt and poas, at first (within 2 mins) i couldnt see anything so just left it as i thought i wasnt pg and then about 10 mins later i walked past it again and there was a very faint but visible pink line. Im not saying that these are the best tests to use as i have heard good things about lots of hpts (including s/burys own tests) for being able to get quite early results but if you are fairly sure of your ovulation timings and you start testing about 10dpo then that should give you a fairly good answer.

Obviously if you arent then it could be any old day that you get a positive but dont do it on day 7 - its pretty sure that even if you are pg that your newly fertilised egg with have only just implanted and wont be sending out those all important hcg hormone signals via your bladder that your hpt needs to pick up.

Im the worlds worst poas addict (with both opks and hpts) its kind of fun to do but i wouldnt start testing till at the earliest dpo9

Well no kick in the shins for anyone - if you want to test - TEST but if you want to wait, its probably better ( but dont listen to me because i will probably start testing on DPO9

And please kick me in the shins for POAS so early!!!

Oops - couldn't resist & wasted £5 POAS this evening when I'm only 7DFO (is that the right acronym - I'm rubbish at this chat stuff - be patient!) BFN of course as it's way too early - so have hidden the stick from the BF & pretending it never happened...

Could I make another rule -
shin kicking = good,
talking about 'babydust'= just a little bit too twee...!

eggsovereasy I keep checking for a metallic taste in my mouth!!

And I'm constantly going to the loo - but think thats because I know that its a sympton so perhaps if I keep going it will be true

Ooh - me me me! I'm due on the 28th. This is my first cycle (sorry - newbie alert!) but have been waiting to TTC for ages and I'm so impatient.

Also have a supply of tests already (they were on offer so I thought I'd stock up!) but now don't know how i'll resist the urge...I already want to POAS but know it will just be a waste of money!

Hi, I'll join you, I'm only on my second cycle (been wanting to ttc for ages but had to wait due to health issues) and in my mid 30's so assuming it will be a while before I conceive, but I'll be testing first thing on the 25th. I have 26/27 day cycles and the 25th will be day 26, so as long as no AF that will be POAS day for me!
I'm also trying to focus on good things, and will be indulging in wine and pate if AF arrives this month - was wine and creamy st agur cheese last month.
I'll do the double bluffing too, was symptom spotting like mad last month.

Thats a good one to do MrsFC (double bluffing) i found when ttc ds that if i had some good stuff on to look forward to then it helped me to focus less on getting pg.

So... Lets all focus on the fact that it's a lovely sunny days & think positive thoughts about new life & new beginnings...

Every month that is another negative I have to think of a new 'thing' to try. And this month it's positive thoughts.

This is the one my OH liked best - because it meant I was happy & less stressed. I've also been trying reflexology & cranium osteopathy - not sure it works - but it's lovely lying down with my eyes closed for an hour on Saturday morning!!

It feels like forever till I can test on Thurs... I'm going on a girls trip to Geneva on Friday, so in a way it won't matter either way as there will be plenty of wine with my name on it if I get a BFN.

(BTW - that is me trying to convince myself I'm 'so like totally' not bothered... Double bluffing my womb....)

MrsFC lol@ boob prodding - thats me too!

This is my second cycle trying and am going to ignore 'the symptoms' I convinced myself I had last time though to be fair to myself they were real and unusual for me (sore boobies, wanted to throw up at strong odours like coffee/vinegar, funny cramping) - this time I'm ignoring it all and saying nothing as got my husband all excited for nothing - so we shall see but good luck to you Ladies...

Ohh, Rosieposey, I'm 39 - so I know how you feel - one DS aged 7 x

Hi there, I'm due on the 22nd March, and it's my 15th month. to early early mc's, one in June, one in Sept. I'm now trying to be much more positive and focus on the fact that it's spring.

Fifteen months of prodding my boobs to assess soreness is enough to drive anyone crazy...!

Some support would be lovely xx

Ohh me me! Ok well im not actually due till the 27th but im crap at waiting and a bit of a poas addict so will start around the 25th.

Sorry to hear your having a bit of an uphill slog ttc - if its any consolation it was 9 months with ds and 12 with dd2 (and i was alot younger when i was ttc her).

I got some postives on opk's yesterday so hopefully this month might have done the trick but im not getting too excited as at my age (38) its supposed to be a 15% chance per cycle. This getting pg business is not as easy as it sounds is it?

Hi - not quite - I'm expecting my next period on 2nd April - I am really hoping it doesnt arrive!! Good luck to you (:
