LaRagazza, what is your usualy cycle length. Mine used to be 28 but it is varying by a couple of days here and there, i also noticed that i ov'd later in the month (only by a day or two) but it means i will have to test later. If your cycle length is usually 27 and say you ov'd on day 13/14 then you could probably test on day 24 which would be only 3 days before your AF was due.

It just depends when you ov'd thats all, in order to get the levels of hcg that you need to detect a pg its probably best to wait at least 10dpo (although i will start testing at around 9 with some internet cheapies) then First Response from dpo 10.

Felt slightly sick this morning, and the more i thought about it the more nauseous i became, actually checked to make sure i had the dog's poo bags incase i needed to throw up in one! ridic!

Ate 2 kinder eggs yesterday.

Which cycle day is everyone testing on? Last month AF arrived on CD27 IYSWIM would that be too early to test this month?

Boobs feel big and wobbly but could be AF symptom so don't want to wobble them too much!

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 22:43

Hooray! then its advice all the way next week for us

Will still be rooting for you over the next few days - its not over yet. Enjoy your book and......... relax.

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 22:34

Forgot to say. Thanks guys for the support. Was nice to know I had people rooting for me.

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 22:31

Agreed. I CAN be the sensible person when it's to do with advice for OTHER people!

Gonna go read my book and guzzle my decaf tea.

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 22:27

Cazzr its early days yet like everybody said,and i think there is only a very low percentage that gets early bfps, take heart that you havent seen AF yet - its very very early ( and ill be expecting you to say the same thing to me next week when i almost certainly come up with the same thing from testing too early)

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 22:27

LOL totally, I was convinced at Christmas that my period was just very heavy implantation bleeding...

You DO hear about it tho... people having periods till a few months preg!

Totallyfloaty35 · 17/03/2010 22:24

No worries Cazzr,with dd3 didnt get a bfp til day before AF was due and then it was so faint it was almost invisible.Im holding out til Sunday/Monday but then im cracking out the tests.
However i have tested 3 days after AF had been and gone before just on the off chance my body was confused and hadn't meant to give me a period

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 22:23

yeah think friday is more realistic as could be due sunday/monday.

Anyway, have a lovely cuppa tea infront of me and feel glad I still have 3 more FR's left.

Lorelai · 17/03/2010 22:18

try not to get too down about it. Check out the stats on the thread about early testing - it is still very early for a BFP.

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 22:16

FR BFN after 5 mins. :/ Think i'll wait till Friday before I test again.

Been having light cramping since the weekend which I've attributed to implantation so trying to stay positive..

Lorelai · 17/03/2010 22:00

I'm here too - keeping fingers crossed for you!

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 22:00

oh and FGS dont look at it for at least 4 mins - with DS i thought it was neg but these very very early results tend to come up faint and when the screen has gone completely white good luck!!!

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 22:00

ahh i'm nervous it'll be a bfn cos i do feel preggers... Will see if i can sneak upstairs without DH noticing...

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 21:57

im here crack on and tell me the result! ohhhh im so excited!

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 21:56

Ok, so I haven't peed for about 5 hours now. Do we think thats long enough to POAS at about 11dpo (yes StiffyByng thats days past ov).?

Please someone be around, I'm not sure I can hold much longer...

LOL at TotallyFloaty35 and rosieposey.

StiffyByng · 17/03/2010 21:31

Hi

Assuming DPO is days past ovulation(?), I think I'm roughly 4DPO and don't feel remotely pregnant. I am going to wait to test if my period doesn't appear next Friday... Good luck to everyone on here!

JFly · 17/03/2010 21:23

OK, I'm going public in the hopes you'll all keep me from testing before Monday. I did a £shop test 7 days before AF and today, 5 days before. What is my ever-loving problem?
Not sure why I can't wait. The suspense is killing me!

No symptoms per se but some light twingy-ness. Real or imagined, who knows? Only about 9dpo so still early for all that. Anyway, have one FR lingering in the cupboard and another 4 cheapies. Must not test until Monday. Must not test until Monday. Repeat.

Totallyfloaty35 · 17/03/2010 19:56

POAS Cazzr i want to test now and im only on day 19 or so of my cycle.Boobs were very painful today,so of course that is a symptom and nothing to do with with not wearing a bra today

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 16:21

whispers go with the FR! god im terrible! Dont worry will be my turn next week and ill be getting all twitchy by Tues.

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 16:19

OOOO the pressure, will see how I feel later tonight once home, horse sorted and DS in bed.

The sensible option would be FMU, but I have 4 FR, 2 Tesco's and several ebay cheapies all screaming at me to pee on them! lol

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 16:12

Ohhh thats good. Lorelai is probably right about FMU but then again if youve got 4 and you are roughly 11dpo ... lol dont look to me for self control as i would probably hold my wee till DH comes home and get testing, FMU is good but i have been known to hold on for several hours during the day too - its up to you but am keeping everything crossed for you - let us know how you get on!

Lorelai · 17/03/2010 16:05

Cazzr, prob best to wait till the morning for FMU, to give yourself the best chance of a BFP.

Cazzr · 17/03/2010 15:53

rosie: phoned DH and asked him to pop into boots/superdrug and FR ARE still on bogof, so now got 4 waiting for me to pee on for 10.49! LOL

So, as I am about 11dpo, do we think I should still wait till the morning or could I try tonight?

It's daft to get excited about a blooming pg test!

rosieposey · 17/03/2010 15:06

Am pretty sure that FR would tell you by now anyway - ohh how exciting, you know sometimes its just when you least expect it y'know fingers crossed for you
