I think I ovulated on CD19. Due to DH work commitments we only managed SWI once but that was on CD19. I know a BFP is still possible but we did only do it once.

It's too early to test but I have all my hopes of a BFP running through my head and symptom spotting. My body has been cruel in the past though and got my hopes up only for AF to appear.

However, this evening I am feeling quite nauseous and have had feelings like ligament pulling in my abdomen. Also slightly tender boobs.

I'm 8dpo and just want the next week to be over so I know!!!

Feel better for getting that out!

It's so disappointing going even though we all read 5dpo too early, as is 7/8dpo which I did today....! Maybe get some of the bulk tests from amazon (under a fiver for 25) then you don't feel like you're wasting money on top of the disappointment of a BFN!

I have 24 left so that should see me through all the loony days of testing!

Also take comfort from bump a bfn on dpo 8 but BFP on dpo 10. It may happen to us all yet Fx!

I tested too. Bfn. No surprise there. Thatll teach me to be patient! No testing now until at least Wednesday!

It's just so silly how we ladies can't find the will power to resist poas and convince ourselves our bodies are acting in a pregnant way!! I got 2 for £1 and thought that was a bargain, maybe will needto look at amazon although will keep telling myself " I must not poas until my af is late" "I must not poas until my af is late" fx crossed for us all this week :)

SlightlyBabyCrazed · 21/02/2011 17:40

Sad AF arrived last night for me Angry

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 17:49

Sorry she got you slightly

And going and wrinkly there is still hop Smile

I somehow managed to not cave in, prob due to the fact I keep falling asleep and keep feeling sick Hmm

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 17:50

That should read hope. Baby brain.......??!! Wink

goingmadtrying · 21/02/2011 18:04

Well done maybe hopefully you can hold off till Wednesday :)
sorry af got you slightly she really is unlikeable :(

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 20:09

Thanks going feel really nervous about it all! Trying not to get my hopes up too much though Smile

hartey · 21/02/2011 20:43

Congrat's bump wonderful news

Well I POAS this evening and disappointed to see a BFN.

Not sure if it's because I did it in the evening.

I got a smiley face on an OPK om the 9th and 10th of Feb - we only managed to SWI on the 9th and 11th. So I am about 10dpo yes?

Sorry I am really new to all of this paying attention to everything - and to cap everything else off my last AF arrived on the 12th Jan - FRUSTRATING!

Rant over Blush

Loup23 · 21/02/2011 22:47

Don't lose hope hartey 10dpo still early, maybe try morning pee next time as higher HCg (didn't stop me doing midday and afternoon tests!) Fx a BFP is round the corner - good luck to all this week (am wishing days away!) X

goingmadtrying · 22/02/2011 07:39

Fx for those ladies due to test today, and for my lovely cyber friends due to test on Wednesday it's only one sleep away Grin

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 10:11

did another internet cheapie this morning BFN - since AF not due until next Monday this could be a long old week! Fx for all

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 10:22

Ah, sorry loup but that is still a little early, fingers crossed it turns into a BFP!

Anyone else feeling nerous about tomorrow??!!

Actually managed to make it into work without any fainting Smile

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 10:32

Loup and Hartey sorry to hear about the BFN. It is still early though and I def recommend morning pee! The morning test I did showed up much more quickly than the one I did that evening which took ages to appear.

Did another test last night as I am getting a bit nervous. The cramps are still popping up every afternoon and evening and were so painful last night. Hope everything is ok Hmm. I have doctors appointment on Thurs so I hope they tell me its normal as its a bit scary Sad

I have everything crossed for all of your BFPs tomorrow. Am thinking good vibes!

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 10:41

Thanks Bump

Am sure you will be fine at the Doc's my sister-in-law had exactly the same thing, so I am sure there is no need to worry Smile

That of course is a lot easier said than done Grin

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 13:49

Sorry to have a rant, but am definitely over thinking things. I keep getting a weird sensation, not like with AF, but it keeps making me think it's here.

So I am constantly running to the toliet to check, but there isn't anything at all.

Am I losing the plot?! Confused

Changing2011 · 22/02/2011 14:01

Im due on 2nd March for AF. When can I test? According to MN calculator my last fertile day was 17th Feb...

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 14:16

Hi changing Fx crossed for you. If you're ovulation day was 17th feb then would recommend waiting at least 10 days (27th) before testing only because earlier than that seems to almost always result if BFN! Good luck x

maybe why don't you test? aren't you 2 days late with AF now? might jsut put your mind at rest....

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 14:18

Hi Loup, I am a couple of days late. I would test tonight when I get in, but thought I should wait for FMU?

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 14:41

Maybe are you having AF type cramps or just a (ewww sorry) wet feeling!?

ps I don't know what FMU means! Grin

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 14:44

I do have a wet feeling, that was why I though AF might have started, but hasn't!

I didn't know what FMU was, it's first morning urine. Hormone levels are higher then, and more likely to give an accurate result Smile

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 14:48

Oh right!! Well that is sensible to wait until tomorrow. Depends on if you want to potentially put the wait to an end!

Have you checked your ehem CM Blush ...god what an awful thing to be writing to a stranger about on the internet! Apparently its supposed to be quite a lot and it was with me whereas it usually wouldn't be before my period....now shaking head....this conversation never happened!!

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 14:50

Haha, I will deny all knowledge if you do.....

There is a lot of it, strange for me too. I know lots of people have said they got cramps which they mistook for AF.

I just don't want to be disappointed, and have a horrible feeling I am going to be Sad

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 14:53

Awwh I can totally understand that. I am feeling positive for you though and if worst comes to worst I will make you a list of all the things you can enjoy for one more month (I have been giving that a lot of thought these past couple of days!!) to make you feel a bit better.
