I started another bus! I can't believe we got full so soon :o

From the last thread:
"He has said - 'no gym, no sex' - that'll do it!"

OMG I love your DH, he sounds hilarious :)

seven I have had a couple like that this week too...previously when POAS when I was holding over light/at different angles etc I could see something but looked more like an indent in the paper so obviously not BFP but the past couple of days I could definitely see something like a shadow of a line and I could see it from a distance in natural daylight although like you more obvious after the time had elapsed. DH swears I am seeing things and I think I probably am... that's what happens when you struggle desperately to see anything I guess . I tried Superdrug early test which are supposed to be the same sensitivity as the ic but BFN today.

It will be interesting to see if yours turns into a lovely dark pink line over the next few days .

sevendwarves · 29/03/2011 12:20

Sorry poppy. I know the results aren't valid after the elapsed time but I don't know if my line showed up in the allowed 5 minutes or not.

Also after I showed DH he said he'd had a feeling for the last couple of days that I'm pregnant but didn't want to say anything. I know that doesn't mean anything but it was DH that persuaded me to test with DS because he had a 'feeling'.

A line outside the testing time (10 minutes?) doesn't count as a BFP and signifies nothing, it's not a false positive.

Of course, you don't know whether it showed up within the testing time, so best do another test and watch it until either a line shows up or 10 minutes have passed (or whatever is indicated on your test), whichever is the soonest.

I can't believe how many of you throw tests in the bin before they are finished

seven I could see mine before the 10 min mark but wanted to show DH when he got home - I could see it a bit better then but he still couldn't see anything so even though it showed up in the time I think its just my eyes playing tricks on me . Hope that your line shows up again within the time - keep us posted!

spidookly I am sure that there are more than a few ladies who have thrown them in the bin only to retrieve them later on just to check.... even though we they know that anything after 10 mins doesn't count! Its all part of the TTC insanity we all know and love

goingmadtrying · 29/03/2011 12:37

Fingers crossed for you Seven hope you get a +ve later on :)

BlueCrane · 29/03/2011 13:12

ooh seven really hope you get a stronger line today/next few days!!!

xstitch · 29/03/2011 13:15

fx seven

I am really weakening on the not testing help!

BlueCrane · 29/03/2011 13:23

xstitch how many dpo are you? I know you're not due AF til next week so still v early on that front but the DPO might make a difference...otherwise...step away from the pee sticks!!!

Any more news from blushing , donkir , googie , youremindme , molly or popsy ?? It's a busy week for the bus this week!!

sevendwarves · 29/03/2011 13:26

Thanks ladies, I just tested again and got a BFN. I'm going to try forgetting about it until Thursday now.

MickyLee · 29/03/2011 13:52

I have started charting on fertlity friend too, it's fantastic!

Ok now I know we have been through this before, but the grapefruit juice, when should you start drinking it in the cycle and how much? Going shopping tonight and want to try it. Plus can it be the concertrated juice or can it only be fresh?

googietheegg · 29/03/2011 13:57

Some slight news from me, although I really don't want to get too excited - did a test this morning and had the very, very faintest BFP...just a little faint line though, so will do another tomorrow and see if I was imagining it!

MickyLee · 29/03/2011 14:00

Faint lines are better than none googie :) Bet you can't wait for first thing tomorrow morning!

xstitch · 29/03/2011 14:01

I am 11 dpo bluecrane. I don't feel pregnant but at the same time I have really been having to run to pee for 3 days and today getting odd sensation down there which may be like last time except I can't actually remember.

googietheegg · 29/03/2011 14:01

Ha! That's true Micky!! Seems like this is a pretty busy bus, so fx for us all!

weimy · 29/03/2011 14:07

Hurrah! Googie!!!!

Poppyjen · 29/03/2011 14:20

Yay Googie ! Hope tomorrow your "good news" is more than "slight"

BlueCrane · 29/03/2011 14:21

Tentative hurrah for googie my my this is proving a successful bus!!

xstitch no wonder you're struggling to resist

BoogiesBunny · 29/03/2011 14:28

xstitch can you describe your odd sensation? I've had something a bit like that for the last few days but might just be hyper sensitive to any twinge down there!

Googie that sounds like a goer to me!!!

Tanif · 29/03/2011 14:28

8dpo and boobs are feeling dull and achey, I've also got a runny nose, and have had for a few days, I hadn't thought of it as a symptom but a few people have said it so I might as well chuck it in there. Cervix is feeling low but still soft and squishy...

googie a line is a line is a line...

xstitch be strong, don't listen to the little devil on your shoulder otherwise known as bluecrane!

xstitch · 29/03/2011 14:31

Kind of hard to explain, a tightness in my groin and warmer as if increased blood flow. I no that sounds strange but hard to put into words.

ThePippy · 29/03/2011 14:35

xstitch warmer is definitely a sign - body temp stays elevated after OV if you get pregnant (progesterone causes this I think) and I have been roasting for the last couple of days. Last nigh DH commented on how cold the house was, at the point I was stripping off to just a T-shirt because I felt so warm - that NEVER happens, I am always the cold one.

Congrats googie

xstitch · 29/03/2011 14:40

I had terrible hot flushes the last time but it was later on like about 6/7 weeks on.

orangehead · 29/03/2011 14:44

Micky Im drinking a large glass once a day from 1st day of my af until I ov then I drink a large glass a day of pineapple juice. It cant be from concentrated, has to be fresh.
The person who told me about it on here said she didnt notice any difference the 1st month but noticed a big difference the 2nd month. Tbh I was a bit but thought what the hell juice isnt expensive and at least I'll get a good dose of vit c. Last month I didnt notice any difference but big difference this month
That's great googie fx for a thicker line tomorrow.

googietheegg · 29/03/2011 14:57

It's sooo tricky - I really appreciate the congrats but it doesn't seem real yet! I so hope it's a darker line tomorrow and there is no ERTD instead!

This grapefruit juice thing sounds interesting...

BlueCrane · 29/03/2011 14:58

Sorry xstitch just getting a little over excited with all the BFPs on this bus and for me actually feeling that I have some more hope since I think I spotted ovulation and we SWI at right time and I can now enter the 2ww (finally!)?all going to my head a little!! Have enjoyed this bus ride and if I get AF next week will be v to say goodbye and board the 2012 bus!!

PS was just v naughty and checked what my due date would be if we were successful this cycle and thought about when I would finish work etc
