makescakes when do u plan to test?

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 05/05/2011 07:55

Saturday morning (when I'm due), unless I'm getting definite PMT signs or my period has actually showed up!

Poppyjen · 05/05/2011 09:04

Hi ladies, well a small amount of clarity for me this morning, temps up and rising for 3 days now so Fertility Friend has finally given me a nice red cross on my chart. Apparently ovulated on CD29 Shock on 2nd May. Because of staying with relatives over that weekend we didn't manage to get up to much SWI unfortunately but more by luck than anything else we did DTD on the ovulation day so fingers crossed.... looks like AF would now be due on 17th May.

3 days in to another 2ww then Smile symptom spotting here I come....

How is everyone else doing? xx

DreamingOfABump · 05/05/2011 09:58

cd29! wowser thats a lot of 2ww for you poppy

from my two off the pill cycles i normally have spotting on day 27 and AF on day 28. today is day 28 and just clear cm. please please please please dont come AF! Havent got any tests, hoping postman will bring them today so have done my first morning wee in a bottle. im guessing that will be okay still?

Poppyjen · 05/05/2011 10:04

Dreaming I am sure it will be fine for a few hours. Some advice says that you should keep it in the fridge but then when you want to test you have to wait until it comes back up to room temperature (which could take ages) so I would think that keeping it until the postman arrives will be just the same Smile

FX for you! Let us know Grin

And yes, wowser, feel like I have been on 2ww forever! Nice to know that something is going on in there, although a little late (story of my life Wink )

DreamingOfABump · 05/05/2011 10:51

lol wee in the fridge- so wrong. just checked amazon and its prob not going to get here til tomorrow! I should be sensible and wait til tomorrow, then i would actually be 'late' if af nt arrved by then. patience is a virtue apparently lol

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 05/05/2011 11:54

If you like, dreaming, I can bring my test forward a day and we can do it together?

Pipbin · 05/05/2011 12:09

So, this is my first cycle of TTC.
Feel sick, back hurts, weepy for no reason.

Think I am a symptom spotter. I must learn to control myself!

Poppyjen · 05/05/2011 12:36

orangehead · 05/05/2011 14:01

Glad you had a lovely holiday coffee.
Well af due anytime between tomorrow and Tue. Not feeling too good today, tummy ache but straving a bit dizzy and generally feel quite strange, not quite right. It most probably a bug but a small part of me thinking it could be symptoms. Also my boobs are not sore which is strange for me my boobs normally kill the week before af. Oh I hate not knowng.
How everone else.

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 05/05/2011 18:22

What's with the first thing in the morning pee? If I got so desperate to find out that I did a test now would it fail because it's not first thing? Just, you know, curious...

blueeyedmonster · 05/05/2011 18:49

Something to do with hormone? or whatever it is levels being the strongest in the morning.
Not sure it would fail but the morning is more reliable as far as I know.

4 days till af is due here and I am symptom spotting like mad, it's driving me crazy!

Poppyjen · 05/05/2011 19:03

MakesCakes when I tested with DS I didn't use first morning pee at all, didn't know about any of these things then. I got a BFP at 10 dpo at about 7 in the evening. The hormone is supposed to be highest concentration in the morning (because you have had all night to save it up Smile ) but I think that this is only really important if you are testing early.

Pipbin · 05/05/2011 19:48

Hi Poppy I haven't put my self on the list because I don't know the protocol. Also I don't know where I am in my cycle am as I haven't had a visit from AF since stopping the pill.

Poppyjen · 05/05/2011 21:16

Hi pipbin protocol is (using mine as example)

Poppyjen TTC no 2, Cycle 2, AF due 17th May

So that's me, trying to conceive second child, second cycle trying and my period is due on 17th May.

Hope that helps. Re no AF since stopping pill, you have my sympathies it is soooo frustrating, my first cycle after coming off pill this time was 56 days and its looking like this one will run to around 44 days....means a lot of money has been spent on pregnancy tests Blush and a lot of hours spent obsessing thinking about possible symptoms of early pregnancy Smile we've all been there!

When did you stop taking the pill? Did you have a withdrawal bleed? (sorry for nosey questions....)

orangehead · 05/05/2011 22:09

makes concentration of hormone is stronger in the morning.However my 5 previous pregnancies got bfp in the evening and a couple of them I tested 2 or 3 before af. If you testing after you have missed af fmu is less important the earlier you test the more important it is

orangehead · 05/05/2011 22:10

That should be 2 or 3 days

DreamingOfABump · 05/05/2011 22:19

oooh boooooo for BFN :(
tested a couple of hours ago as no af and weeing all daay so couldnt wait any longer. BFN. gutted as im pretty sure if its a BFN on first response then its a BFN for definate.
makes love your seanky trying to poas sooner. I say do it ;) But then im a miserable owner of a BFN so i have to live vicariously through others' bfp's now lol

orangehead · 05/05/2011 22:33

sorry dreaming

spidookly · 05/05/2011 22:43

"gutted as im pretty sure if its a BFN on first response then its a BFN for definate."

Not so.

Test again tomorrow :)

MakesCakes

First morning wee is more concentrated, and so is considered to be more valuable for urine tests of all kinds

I think once you get past your AF due date you should probably get a BFP with normal wee. I certainly wouldn't be keeping wee in the fridge. I'd just try when it suited to test and use the other one in the pack the next morning if it was BFN.

orange - how are you doing this month TTC twin? :) I'm asleep beside you, but crack open my eyes every so often to see what you guys are up to.

Karbea Envy

CD20 today. It's the tail end of there being any I with the S, but we'll do another couple of days because, well just because.

orangehead · 05/05/2011 22:47

Not bad spidookly, not sure if I have a bit of a bug today or symptoms. How you doing?

spidookly · 05/05/2011 22:54

Super busy at work, no time to be thinking about TTC.

I had a horrible nausea incident at work the other night. Scampi induced but it reminded me of how much I hate the first bit of pregnancy.

I've had pretty strong symptoms the last 2 months and I don't think I even ovulated last month, so I'm determined to ignoring any symptoms this time around.

DreamingOfABump · 05/05/2011 22:54

hope ur right spidookly. Will do my first wee tomorrow and hope im one of those who get a later BFP. Chances are i'll be surfing that old red tide of doom by tomorrow morning. harrrumpphh!

Karbea · 05/05/2011 23:46

spiddy hola!!! Tad busy with this wedding stuff!!
I'm on 2ww, chart bonkers, due to cold early in the month and temp being high. So ff doesn't reckon I've ov'd yet, but I know I have as had major pain on Tuesday eve.

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 06/05/2011 06:53

Right. POAS last night and first thing this morning and both times got the very very faintest of lines - like - I'm not entirely sure I didn;t just imagine it. It was one of those Amazon cheapie tests, but the 10mIU ones, so should be fairly sensitive. DH and I are like looking at each other and shrugging like "huh - that didn't answer much" - it's not a yes or a no.

Bah. Now I'm in a real grump.
