I'm due to test on the 15th, but my periods are very irregular after stopping the pill, so may not be!

Have been having period type cramps for about 4 days but no AF.

Anyone else waiting?

Hiya,

I'm due to test end of this week.

My last cycle was 31 days.

So by 28 days I need to test Thursday onwards.

Am not feeling hopeful as its only our first month of really trying and only managed to BD CD 11 &16!

Have had period type cramps for a few days though so she may be coming early :(

spanxaremyonlyfriend

but you aren't due to the 15th right?

spanxaremyonlyfriend · 08/08/2010 10:11

I got some bleeding last night Sad. It could be implantation but every time AF starts I go through the rigmarole of convincing myself its implantation until its undeniably AF.

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 18:01

i know i just keep saying its gonna come out 1 way or another so stop been daft lol. ive done the cheapy i had in my house from poundland said on that you couldnt use it till day after missed period which for me would be wensday 11th, but even that come posative which i didnt think it would, because its not a sensative one.

im sure you will soon, these things can take time. i hope you are this month though you will be same as me :)

patchworkquilt · 07/08/2010 16:20

Well, you have done it once, so you can only hope it is ok this time too. I am sure the doctors will keep a close eye on you, with the history you have. I hope your parents are supportive, they probably will be.

I too am hoping I get a good result, but I am not sure.

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 12:57

ooo mine was due on the 10th am guessin not anymore though lol. i would get one of them predictors that ive used if u wanted to test abit early cause there cheap so there for not really a waste a money and the hcg level is lower than clearblue.

im afraid of everything, havin my son i lost 2000+ ML of blood so dont want it to happen again i was soo ill and scared, i was only 18. so this time i think im gonna die or summat stupid i know. im scared of telling my mum n dad there gonna go mental haha, ive only just turned 20 and am gonna have 2 kids. oh boy the list goes on. but i was broody before i just wasnt 100% ready to have one yet. i lost a baby last year my son was a only a baby still, so i had him at 18 and was preg again at 18. after that i just went on the pill cause was too scared.

ohh i soo hope you get a posative soon :)

patchworkquilt · 07/08/2010 12:46

Woohoo! So excited for you.

Are you afraid because of your loss or just that it might not be real? I understand either way, from my own experiences, I just wondered.

With my fears, I have decided, I can't prepare myself enough for anything so I just try to let myself enjoy the moment, moment to moment. I hope you can in some way too. It is so lovely and hard.

My AF is due next Friday, roughly. 13 August.

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 12:32

PATCHWORK just done another and just looked at it, its saying posative again so surely 2 cant be wrong now. straight to docs for me on monday. am very very scared now.
oh when did you say AF was due patchwork

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 12:29

i ahve with my last preg and i got a neg too early but it depends what ur hormone level is, i have used a digi one on my last and it gave me pos, it says u can use them 4 days before but its summat like 50% of been right early, its just like all tests though, its a risky thing taking early as you might loose out on money but then again you might not

patchworkquilt · 07/08/2010 12:15

beckie90 - have you ever used Clear Blue Digital tests? I wonder if I tested four days before with them, it would show?

Does anyone have any experience using those tests early?

beckie90 · 07/08/2010 10:12

SIILYBILLYMUMMY

last month i started thinking about having a nother baby but i was like no i cant im too scared (as lost alot of blood with 1st)
so had like 4 unprotected times with my partner 4 the 1st month since i come off the pill, 1 was just coming of period and another the other day the other 2x must have been around mid month. and now im pregnant, found out 4 days before period due. i dont know what to think im happy but scared, scared of even telling my mum she will flip. and my little boy will not even sleep in his own bed so this is gonna be a very uncomfortable pregnancy.

i hope if happens for you this month good luck, have you had any kind of symtoms at all thats how i knew got them soo early

widgetsmummy · 07/08/2010 07:53

Hi, I'm a lapsed mumsnetter since my DD born Feb 2008. Began trying for another baby 2 months ago.

I'm now waiting... I am 5 days over due on my period and have felt a bit weird and sick but have had 2 negative home pregnancy tests...

I am going to buy some more today and try and wait a few more days before testing (as they are not cheap!) but its so thought consuming! My DH is aware but not obsessed like me and its not something I want to put on Facebook! I also miscarried before DD pregnancy which makes me wary.

Anyway - there is my thought dump! Just wanted someone out there to know!

Thanks and good luck to you all conceiving!

sillybillymummy · 07/08/2010 07:17

A few months - you? I know i haven't really got a right to get bored of waiting, i just hate not knowing!

beckie90 · 06/08/2010 22:07

how long have you been ttc for SILLYBILLYMUMMY

sillybillymummy · 06/08/2010 21:42

patchwork quilt Yes its the waiting game again - BORING! Or what?
I am the same as you.. think i am day 23, and due around 14th. So - 1 more week and we might know!!

Can't believe that shitfprbrains that's crazy knowing that early!!

beckie90 · 06/08/2010 21:19

use the predictor one is detects hcg levels of 12.5 and over most are 20 to 25 and over. and it was only 3.95.
looking at it now its not that faint really and it says on pack even if its really pale it still means your preg, but im just gunna be safe and do another. im scared to sing it from the roof tops anyway i think im gunna keep it quiet as long as i can. really really terrified

patchworkquilt · 06/08/2010 20:59

spanxaremyonlyfriend - and mine too - I tried hard too, do you think that counts? :)

beckie90 - great news, a faint line usually means BFP doesn't it? I agree waiting to confirm might be best, but I KNOW it is hard not to sing it from the roof tops. Let me know how you go Monday - I might test early too... see how easily influenced I am? :o

beckie90 · 06/08/2010 20:02

patchworkquilt, did a test this morn 4 dyas before period due and got bfp, quite faint but defo a line going to test again on monday though to double check. and go to docs. im soo scared it hasnt sunk in yet, im terrified of telling my mum. i dont think im going to tell people till its visible. i wasnt even trying really, just last month slept with my partner and had 4 unprotected times that was it. ohhh soo scared. goood luck patchwork

spanxaremyonlyfriend · 06/08/2010 19:54

I'm due to test on the 15th. Its my 9th month of ttc but I've tried really, really hard this time. I'm a bit worried I didn't actually ovulate though Hmm.

patchworkquilt · 06/08/2010 19:45

I am CD22 and AF due on the 13th too.

I lost a baby too beckie90, alot later on in my pregnancy, then had a healthy baby boy - terrified and excited about getting pregnant again. This makes the wait really tough. I am sorry to hear about your mc.

I am moody, but I don't know if that is because my husband is driving me a bit nuts lately or if I am genuinely moody.

I did loads of testing early the first month we tried (this is our third month of trying) and got myself really upset and poor :) using all the pregnancy tests, until I got my AF.

I promised myself I wouldn't do that again ... we shall see. This time next week - can we do it? I really want to try and wait.

It is hard with all the summer drinks and stuff going on to avoid drinking. No one really knows that we are trying except one friend and my sister. What about you two?

beckie90 · 05/08/2010 13:00

ive been hideously moody 4 last week or so now lol, and i try to be nice to my partner poor bloke but my moods keep going all over place and i dont understand why, also feel like i could cry all the time. dont know what to do with myself .
i want to test now but i made that mistake with my first preg, and wasted money on tests, because they come neg, but only a few days later a cheap 1 come pos

twowoulddo · 05/08/2010 12:51

Hi all, I am on 2WW here. I am CD26 out of usual 32 and 6DPO. No symptoms maybe slight cramping (oh and hideously moody yesterday which is most unlike me) but that's it. AF due 13th but don't think can wait that long. I am stocked with internet cheapies just in case

beckie90 · 05/08/2010 12:26

i have a son and have been pregnant last year but had a mc. with my son i had symptoms about a week before due period, but 2nd time had no symtoms at all. didnt think i was even pregnant.
i started of feeling nauseous, but now i feel sick most of day, can barely drag myself out of bed, weeing alot more, and i just thought well they could be anything, but then the other day i went to eat beetroot which i love put it in my mouth and had to spit it straight back out the taste was awful. i dont know it could be out really.

patchworkquilt · 05/08/2010 12:14

It is sort of too early for me to tell - although I had a few stomach cramps yesterday. It is hard, because so many of the symptoms are the same of those for your AF.

I have a son already and have been pregnant twice - both with no symptoms to speak of at all! Seriously, not a one.

What are your symptoms Beckie90?

beckie90 · 05/08/2010 10:55

hi patchwork quilt.
i am new to this.
