Getting fed up of the ttc rollercoaster........

That's not getting fed up of the thread(s) but the whole rigmorole (sp?) of pretending I'm not bothered each month, then obsessing every time I get a twinge of some description, then coming on whatever....
Feel a saddo for even asking and I have been looking on the other ttc threads for examples (don't you always when you're obsessed with something), but anyone had a neg early pg test only to find out they were pg after all? Think I'm due on on Weds, but can't be sure. Did 1st response test on Sat - neg but since then have been feeling strange. Boobs were very sore with dd's pg. They're not anything like as sore now, but feel very heavy and like they're making their presence felt, iykwim! Expecting to have come on every time I go to the loo. Can't decide if I've just got pre-menst symptoms - keep asking myself: do I usually notice what my body's doing this much? Do I really have twinges and big heavy knockers?! Oh dear Sorry, I know I'm not the only one. Can anyone help me on the early (false)neg test question?

Hi Moomin, in answer to your question I have no experience of this myself, but have you seen the False Negative Pregnancy Test thread and the one called How common are false negative pregnancy tests results? There's also one called Can two negative PG tests be wrong?

By the way, when I said I have no experience I meant just the negative test thing. I do know what you mean about obsessing though!

Thanks so much, hewlettsdaughter. That was v kind of you to go to the trouble of setting up those links. Interesting reading.... I've decided not to torture myself anymore (if I can resist). I'll just have to wait until Weds now. I'm never late but often early, so will just wait and see. At least if I'm not I can have a drink when dh takes me to Amsterdam for our anniversary in 2 weeks! (Every cloud...)

Any developments, Moomin?

I know what you mean, Moomin... every time I try I tell dp I'm sure I'm not pregnant - but a bit of me thinks (hopes) I am! I'm on day 29 at the moment - my cycles vary between 27 and 31 days, so I'm right in the middle of getting excited/expecting to start my period... I've also got really sore and feeling hot boobs, and my tummy feels swollen - but I know I sometimes get this when I'm having bad PMT. It's so tricky..!

Let us know if your news is good or not - fingers crossed...

I'm Not - came on like clockwork on Weds morning. Body is definitely playing tricks though. Boobs are still sore and heavy. I've also had much more pain this month and feel very bloated. Oh well, like I said, I can be a right old Sue Ellen on our weekend away - which also falls over my next fertile period! We've decided to try to have sex every other day this month and see what happens. One of the main reasons I was so disappointed this month is that I've fallen out with my line manager and was looking forward to telling him that I'd be off on maternity leave! Perhaps next month....
I can also enjoy our Big Brother party tonight now as well (how sad is that?!)
