Dpo- days post ovulation
Iykwim- if you know what I mean
Bfn- big fat negative (pregnancy test)
Bfp- the Holy Grail, a big fat positive
Poas- pee on a stick (take a pregnancy test)
Hth- hope that helps!

That's brilliant thanks guys, I was due my Af on Saturday n still not happened and I'm burping a lot n feeling sick n getting a few cramps, holding out til Friday to do the test tho, because had a few bfn's before I'm trying to wait as long as possible...does that sound crazy?! Smile just hoping for a bfp! So I can Grin
Thank you for all your help x

Nope not crazy at all! I always used to test early. Now I'll only test if af is past my usual cycle length or day af starts (just in case it's not really af). After ttc for 19 months and what must be in the region of 50 bfns one gets wary!
Good luck for Friday!

SammyA86 · 27/07/2011 06:31

Ok so I cracked and did one this morning...bfn = Sad absolutely devastated, we've only been trying for 2 months but it's so hard, going to do another on Saturday hope for a positive!

OP posts:
havealittlefaithbaby · 27/07/2011 06:37

That's about 3/4 days early yes? So it could still.be a bfp just not enough hcg in your urine to show it yet! Don't lose hope just yet. It ain't over til af comes rushing in!

SammyA86 · 27/07/2011 07:20

I chose Friday as a day for some reason, Saturday will be a week since I was due my Af, but still very much having symptoms it's all so confusing! Will keep you updated & fingers crossed for a bfp! Sad

Ok well I guess 3's a long step off 100! I'm sure I'll harden to it, these forums help a lot though cause you guys kno how it feels where as my dh doesn't seem to quite understand! x

Yeah I tell DH about maybe half the tests I do! Worst was when I realised I'd gone through 15 cheapies in two cycles! Now I wait til a couple of days before af is due at the earliest.

SammyA86 · 27/07/2011 21:48

Yeh I try to not tell him if I think I am or not n then do a test n then he gets humpy that am not involving him but he can't deal with my tears I don't think! Sad

LoveInAColdChamberOfSecrets · 27/07/2011 21:55

You really shouldn't be in tears after 2 months TTC! Honestly, try to enjoy it at your stage. Good luck.

SammyA86 · 27/07/2011 22:13

I'm very inpatient, probably not the best for this sort of thing! x

OP posts:
havealittlefaithbaby · 27/07/2011 22:59

I think I sobbed cried after 7 months (I'd really convinced myself). after 19 you get a bit more relaxed in a way...like 'oh well fanny cam time, never seen my ovaries before!'. Actually the Hsg was quite cool!
Some months are harder than others. Just try to relax a bit and enjoy the process!

SammyA86 · 28/07/2011 07:50

Will try! Thanks everyone for your help n advice x

SammyA86 · 31/07/2011 11:36

Ok so I'm now technically 10 days late for my af but yesterday's test(s) still come up negative, boobs are hurting a hell of a lot but it's hard to think y if the tests are negative, it's very easy to think I'm one of those that maybe doesn't show on the tests etc but think I'm just getting my own hopes up! So confused! Sad
