I would test, if you are think of a special way to tell him, hold off till fathers day? or put in a box and say u have a present for him. or if he wants to be there just make out you havent tested.

do a test omg do one now.

Well, I am really confused now, and need some advice:

AF was due Tuesday according to fertility friend, and due today (28 days which used to be normal for me). NO SIGN!!!

I've written off all previous symptoms as sure they were all in my head, but I've been really tired & grumpy for the last 2 weeks and today I've been getting a really dry mouth & throat which I did when I got pg in Feb.

Here's the problem - DH is away until Sunday so really really want to stay away from the tests (don't fancy telling him over the phone if it's a positive). AAARRRGGGGHHHHH

I'm so close to running upstairs and destroy the two tests I have just so I'm not tempted!

Further prob - If I avoid testing and am pg, I'm supposed to be going out for drinks with my Mother on Saturday. Do I drink, Don't I????? If I don't she'll ask why, and I really want to tell DH first!!

I didnt have a clue about temp's or anything but started just taking my temp every morning same time and noticed it was going up from 36.5 to 37.0 which i am now. that was a week ago i started.

Yes it can happen and it will.

I used the inbternet cheapie opk's there brilliant.

Good luck

xkatyx so glad you are going to stay with us, it has given me some hope that it can really happen.

I am due to start testing with some internet OPK today, although I wouldn't really be surprised if I don't get any +ves as I didn't get anything on a predictor kit I bought last month.

Just started temping, I am getting 35.8 and 36.2 for the last 5 days, and I think my temp should go up by half a degree post ovulation, so we'll see.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed I have my fingers crossed for you.

Caija are you close to testing?

xkatyx · 09/06/2010 09:36

well i still dont feel preggars at all, and still woundering if i saw lines that wernt there, so got hubby to buy me another test and yep its dark and there.

im calm in the fact that last time my lines didnt get darker but pooping myself cause i have little aches.

omg well done for the self restraint i tested every day 1. because for some reason un like some i wanted to know if i was going to have a chemical pregnany I.E if there was a faint line then went (like last time) as if i kept happening i would want to know why.

Which alot of people didn understand why i wanted to know that, but i suppose everyone is diffrent.

and 2. im a poas addict!!

Good luck i'll be on everyday routing for you and waiting to see your happy news.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 08/06/2010 20:18

hmmpph... not going to bother testing, am 100% convinced that this isnt my month, so am just waiting for AF to show.

28 days will be on Friday (which is average for me), however fertility friend reckoned I should have been due on today?!?!?

If AF doesnt show by the weekend then I may be swayed into thinking that there is a very small chance!

Have any symtoms developed now that you are officially preggers?

xkatyx · 08/06/2010 19:18

Yes i am rubbing the thread as we speak and sending you all the luck in the world, i want to hang around so that we can be on a pregnancy thread together too.

When are you due to test?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 08/06/2010 19:00

xkatyx · 08/06/2010 17:26

xkatyx · 07/06/2010 18:54

I uesd those internet ones, and so did my sister i never got a bfp on them at all, i really dont like them.

The tesco ones and asda ones are brilliant give the best lines.

Thank you, fingers and toes are crossed for you, i too thought i was out this month, to be honest did not think at all i was pregnany if it wasnt for my poas addiction i wouldnt of tested at all.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 07/06/2010 18:49

OH MY GOD katy, that's fab news I am so pleased for you, but also a litte .
Here's hoping that everything will go brilliantly!

I'm now just waiting for AF to show, got another BFN today so don't hold much hope. I'm on CD25 11DPO.
I've been using the online cheapies and a superdrug cheapie today.

I've accepted the fact that this month wasnt THE month, I just want AF to hurry and show up otherwise it means next month I will be TTC at Glastonbury - not ideal!

xkatyx · 06/06/2010 19:43

I got my bfp yesterday very scared but happy.

I was getting negatives up untill yesterday which was the day before af. plus i dont have any symptoms and last month i had them all. so dont give up, what tests are you using?

xxxx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 06/06/2010 19:07

Well, I started getting loads of syptoms last week - cramps, really tired, really ratty, heavy boobs and my skin has broken out a bit. I'm still only 10dpo so I don't think theyre PMS.

However, once again all of these syptoms have vanished!

Did a test on Friday as I was so convinced as felt really rough BFN, to be fair was only 8dpo

xkatyx · 05/06/2010 20:07

Hello, how is everyone?

xkatyx · 02/06/2010 19:35

Oh god dont, i actually have tears now

so unfair really is, you sound like such a lovely person who would make an amazing mum and it will happen.

I feel incredibly selfish moaning i am lucky to have the 2dc i have got.

xxxxxxxxx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 02/06/2010 18:46

I've been really fed up too over the last couple of days, I havent been able to speak to DH without snapping at him - poor soul!

I think my grouchy-ness started on Monday when we were out and about and every where I looked there were couples with kids. At one point, we were sat on a playing field and we were literally, the only ones there with no children. It was a good job I had my sunglasses on

Whenever I have a few minutes by myself, I just sit and feel so sorry for myself.

Wonder if it's EVER going to happen

(I'm welling up now just thinking about it)

xkatyx · 02/06/2010 17:31

Where has everyone gone from the thread?

How is everyone getting along?

I feel soooooooo down today

Feel like this pregnancy will never happen .. i have no symptoms today at all nothing!!! i certainly dont feel pregnant. gutted.
I think woman that do this every month are amazing it has just drained me!!

xkatyx · 01/06/2010 18:18

Ok wait for it .. i have 30 internet cheapie, 4 first response tests and 2 digitals wooooo hooooo.

On ebay you can get them cheap.

your due to test a few days after me? if i get my BFP and i have any left lol ill send them your way.

I had a good few cramps today, a really sore left boob like a shooting pain?!

symptoms all come and go, i know that from my 2 pregnancys, hold on to them all good signs

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 01/06/2010 18:11

Ha! I've got 1 clear blue digital, one boots cheapie, one superdrug cheapie and 3 online cheapies (donated by a very kind mumsnetter).

I have tonight taken them from the bathroom and shoved them in the back of a draw in the bedroom to at least remove the need to POAS everytime I go for a wee!!

I am only 5DPO and was convinced I was getting cramps and had a wierd taste in my mouth yesterday - needless to say, it was all in my head as there are no such symptoms today!!

xkatyx · 30/05/2010 17:43

Im due on a week today, but my ovulation stick didnt give me a positive till last Tuesday, so i would only be 4 days at the most past ovulation, hmmmmmm not getting excited!!

No i wont test again as i promised myself i wouldnt do this again, im just using my cheap ones to satisfy the urge for now i only have 1 first response left and im trying to hold out for atleast thursday (doubt i'll wait till then)

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 30/05/2010 16:11

oh my god.... have you tested again since?
What day are you on?

xkatyx · 29/05/2010 20:17

OMG ok i'm an addict i went on ebay last week got a good price for 2 boxes of 2 first response test (and i blame my dh for working late and leaving me un attended) that i was bored so thought i know what i'll do a first response test.

like i always do i bust the test open as soon as controll lines appears and low and behold after shinning it under a light there is a flippin line there .. surely not?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 29/05/2010 19:14

admit it katy - you're an addict!
