Title says it all, really. The buses are so big I find it a bit confusing - if anyone wants to share in a bit of symptom spotting and POAS, please join me! 3 DPO and already enjoying some nice imaginary nausea Hmm... please come and share your similar delusions with me...

Hi love!

I am due 13th ish. But have made a deal with myself not to test early! No nausea (yet) though I am very very tired Smile

Hi maybe! I am also desperate not to test early this month... although am having something of a dilemma about when to test, as Fertility Friend has suggested testing on Sunday 15 May, but I am supposed to be going out for my best friend's birthday drinks on the Friday and I would like to be able to have a drink if not updiffed. Friday would be 11 DPO, so I could test, but if is another BFN I will be downcast but still not want to drink until it's a false negative - but if it is a BFP I would be so high with excitement I wouldn't miss having a glass of wine!

In other symptom spotting news, I just baked a loaf of bread and forgot to add yeast Blush - my first thought was "ooooh, maybe is baby brain" Grin.

Grin at no yeast!

Well, I am craving cake. And whilsty many would say that's not strange, I have the least sweet tooth ever. Ahh, I love a symptom!

I don't know when to test either if I am honest. I am due on on the Friday, so maybe a hand holding test session?? Smile

AF Due 11th May. I'll join you! I'm trying my bestest not to test early. Got as far as boots today. Couldn't find the tests so decided that was a sign not to bother! But i'm sooooo impatient!

maybebabyR · 07/05/2011 23:43

Hey mellie you have some self control though, at least you didn't ask a shop assistant there they were!!

I am normally very patient. But now we are TTC I'm terrible!!

Another symptom. Veiny boobs. Have never noticed this before. But then I am fairly sure I can find the smallest thing I have never noticed before, and relate it to pregnant!!

ellifino · 08/05/2011 05:37

Hello all. Can I sidle shiftily in while pretending I'm not here at all?

I will be testing around the 20th. 6th month of trying.

You just can;t help but hope that THIS is the month, eh?

maybebabyR · 08/05/2011 10:26

Morning elli

I know what you mean. You spend the first half of the month feeling positive and promising yourself you won't get caught up with symptom spotting and POAS, then, as soon as the 2 WW arrives, that all goes out the window Grin

ellifino · 08/05/2011 11:20

I will be extra disappointed if it is not to be this month. All the other months I have been able to say to myself "well, it probably hadn't happened because of X" but this month there is NO REASON why not.

NO REASON. You hear that universe?

ellifino · 08/05/2011 14:47

Okay the buses are a little fast moving but this is a bit too quiet. I need middle ground.

I am really trying for some imaginary symptoms but I don't feel in the least bit pregnant.

maybebabyR · 08/05/2011 18:30

It is a tad quiet isn't it?!

I don't know if I feel pregnant or not. I don't want to tempt fate by saying I do, but it is fun imagining symptoms!

Is thiis your first ellie?

ellifino · 08/05/2011 18:42

No, third. Which means that I have to be very stern with myself about not getting too upset if it isn't meant to be. It can be hard-going arguing with my hormones though.

How about you?

brimfullofasha · 08/05/2011 19:16

I should test on the 15th but have convinced myself its OK to test on Friday as we're going away for the weekend. Already experiencing loads of imaginary symptoms. DH is trying to keep my feet on the ground. I suppose he has a point: I was probably feeling sick and hungry because I hadn't eaten my lunch until 3pm Blush. I'm new(ish) to all this and trying hard not to be too obsessive.

melliebobs · 08/05/2011 19:58

well i'm sorry to say i was weak and gave in and did a test today :( had a crap end of the week (cousin announced she's pregnant completely out of the blue. That has messed with my head a bit) and the am i aren't i was doing me head in. I don't feel any different. But am I supposed to? all these questions was really stressing me out. So thought sod it. I'll do a test. If it's positive great news. If it's negative (which it was) the second guessing at every little thing i can ignore, i can expect AF to turn up by which point i will have moved on and got my head together ready for next month. So i know these early tests can be hit and you can get a positive result later on. But i'm glad i've done one and its done and out of the way

ellifino · 08/05/2011 20:00

Oh Mellie. Bad luck. Very sorry. Shall keep my fingers crossed for you still as there's still time.

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 08/05/2011 20:05

Hi ladies
Can I join? I'm due to test on the 15th and I'm really desperate to be pregnant this month as trying to avoid ivf (final clomid course). No symptoms, although I was rubbish at the gym today and shouty at dd - it's great being able to find a positive in all this stuff!

pecka33 · 08/05/2011 20:08

pecka33 · 08/05/2011 22:45

Next step is to do my temps, can't be bothered but think its a must after 8 months of trying! X

ellifino · 09/05/2011 05:14

6 months Pecka.

I don't think this month is it either. Just not feeling it.

melliebobs · 09/05/2011 07:56

pecka this is only the 3rd month but only the last 2 were we reeeeally trying. So i know compared to alot of people this is VERY early dasso i should stop my whinging!

pecka33 · 09/05/2011 11:57

Ellie I don't feel so alone now, I know that's no hlep to you.... Mellie, I don't think it matters how long we've been trying its all relitive to us isn't it?? We spend all our teenage years preventing and when we actually want to get pregnant its a struggle!! Nother natures a bitch!!! Lol x

maybebabyR · 09/05/2011 12:19

Hi everyone

Sorry about the BFN mellie it could well be that you are just testing too early Smile

Sorry you are feeling down elli and pecka We're only on our third cycle trying for our first, but after a MC at Christmas and a chemical pregnancy last month, seems like we are never going to get there.

But I am sure we all will Smile
