Having much stronger PMS symptoms than usual.
Mostly cramps, and a bit of lower backache.

Had some spotting earlier this month.

Last cycle was 32 days and it's day 30 today...
Cycle before that was 34 days.

I have a cheap boots test... shall I use it?

am feeling a bit sick, think that's nerves and anticipation tho...

And now I've read a thread on evap lines on Clearblue - ie lines that look like positives but aren't. Sad

bally2 · 14/10/2010 19:06

Was the line blue or grey?? if you google evap line images, they all come up and you can compare.

Im using internet cheapies. (.)(.)s are throbbing this evening...oh i juts want an answer either way.

bit too faint to tell!!! will take my obsession to google for a bit! Googling cheaper than testing! thanks bally

bally2 · 14/10/2010 21:21

I know what you mean, I swear i see a faint line on my test upstairs but dp cant see anything, he says im imagining it!

AF started late last night. At least that's cleared up now! Although made the mistake of watching that awful programme "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant" for a few min, just ridiculous but also amazing(ly stupid!).

Will have to pay attention now I guess to figure out when I'm ovulating...

Well, there's def a line on the first response this afternoon. Not a BF positive, just a tlt (tiny little thin) one, but I kind of believe it. Now I will sit on my hands and not test again til tues (Hmm)! Been here before and if we get that far it'll be a long eight weeks or so til twelve weeks. Bad luck on AF titferbrains Sad. Hope your thin line gets darker, Bally.

Littlebylittle: fingers crossed for you! It's so exciting isn't it? What cd are you on? Was it first morning urine?

littlebylittle · 15/10/2010 15:54

no - I am ashamed to say i did test first thing and no line. just after lunch and hadn't drunk much this am. Not sure what cd means but 14 days post treatment (iui so no hormones except my own) on tues. If the rage I feel at dd's first school reading book is anything to go with, the hormones are raging already!!!

fedupttcnosuccess · 15/10/2010 17:15

Cycle day- sorry! It's still early days, everything crossed for you. Try to relax a little, I know it's easier said than done. Hope you get your BFP soon xxx

fedupttcnosuccess · 15/10/2010 17:18

Also read on one of the other threads that tesco and superdrug tests are more sensitive than most branded early ones... Worth a try, also a bit cheaper? Hope that helps!

bally2 · 16/10/2010 14:43

titferbrains, sorry to hear you got your AF. Mine still hasnt arrived but feeling very crampy so think its on the way. did a test this morn and bfn xxx

Little by little hope you get BFP soon x

titferbrains · 16/10/2010 16:09

thanks, am not feeling too upset as I suspected I wasn't pg all along. Just being hopeful!

Anyway wish you all lots of luck. Cannot believe that someone has worked out that some tests are more sensitive than others!!!

3 is nothing, I once did 6 Blush.

I hope you all get BFP next month.

littlebylittle · 17/10/2010 20:25

Well, several Blush tests later and a pretty BFP now. Fingers crossed and very cautious. Testing addictive - esp cos corner shop tesco sells cheap ones but will try to refrain. Good luck to others, this month or next.

titferbrains · 17/10/2010 20:28

little, congrats on BFP. Hope you have lots to keep you busy and yr mind occupied thru the next 8-12 weeks!!

bally2 · 17/10/2010 20:40

Aww congrats little,
Thats great news!!! Im going insane, still no sign of AF, trying not to test for a few days but no doubt i will give in tomorrow!

titferbrains · 17/10/2010 21:00

god I'm so shallow, I think I just want another baby because I miss talking about being pg, what to buy, babies etc. it's a tedious business, growing babies, but it is nice to be part of that club for some reason!
