I'm annoyed now, day 28 is Monday not Saturday.
I wasn't thinking of testing now, just maybe a day or 2 early.

Every bfp I've had I have tested a couple of days late, just circumstance
I really don't think for me anything would show up early
I really don't think there is any point on testing, this week just drives me crazy, figuring out any twinge, or if boobs are sore. But they are all symptoms of period too.
I just remember with my bfp's I still felt like my period was coming

carriedababi · 17/10/2011 19:33

i took a test this am, no hint of a line, i know its too early but i dremt i got a bfp so i had to do it

Oh carrie, it ain't over til it's over, stay positive & diot test again til the weekend! I empathize though as I was sooooo close to testing today too. I knew that if I got a bfn I'd be both disappointed & would doubt the result anyway & feel worse.

This 2 ww is so hard isn't it Confused

carriedababi · 17/10/2011 20:29

thanks, the fuuny thing is when i get af, i feel a sense of relief, its like then pain of hoping for something is over for a short time, then it cranks up again.

sorry for being so mellow dramatic! i know others that been through much much worse than i have, i just fin the waiting so unbearable sometimes.

just need to keep busy i guess

Argh why can't I listen to my own advice? After spending the evening on google, I decided to poas as some folk seem to get bfps early. It's a bfn :( though I am only 9 dpo. So I am now going to torture myself wondering if the fet failed or if it's really just too early to test.

Argh. Away to kick myself up the arse.

carriedababi · 17/10/2011 22:04

ilikeyoursleeves dont worry its just way to early, theres still hope yet, we are both naughty!

lets try and not test tomorrow eh, shall we aim to take it a day at a time?

OP posts:
ilikeyoursleeves · 17/10/2011 22:15

I won't test tomo anyway cos I am working plus I think tomo would prob give a bfn too. It's just so frustrating isn't it? Yes, one day at a time.

We won't test tomorrow!

Repeat!

We won't test tomorrow!

carriedababi · 18/10/2011 09:55

just checking in, i managed to not test today.

i did have a very vivid dream, that the egg was implanting, i could actually feel it drilling in, i was have mild tummy pains. felt lkike what i would imagine implatation feels like.

its weird have these dreams, even when i try tonot think about it, i must be thinking about it, having all the dreams.

already been thinking about next month, just wondered if i will ttc, as just thinking if i get pg next month then that will be due in aug, id preer a september baby so you get longer with them.
before tthey start school.
but then i think can't really afford to miss another months trying....

will probably just ttc anyway, but if its another bfn next month, guess that will cushion the blow.....

oh well heres still hoping for this month.

Amanda29 · 18/10/2011 11:46

Yep!

Currently 4 days overdue for af basing it on my previious cycle of 35 days so waiting till I'm 7 days late, have been getting what feels like af pains tho :/ and have had what looks like ewcm last week and now just a clear dischargge, I do feel very (tmi alert!) Moist down there tho which isn't usual for me. Not testing sooner as the last month has been incredibly stressful so am convinced I've just skipped a period!

Good luck to everyone testing sat! x

carriedababi · 18/10/2011 11:54

sounds promising amana, how do have the will power to not test?

i amire your strength.

OP posts:
witchyhills · 18/10/2011 12:25

I don't think it's going to happen this month, pmt and teariness kicking in big time
Good luck everyone.

Amanda29 · 18/10/2011 12:50

@carriedababi - its killing me waiting haha! I'm still convinced its a bfn as feel like af will arrive any minute the way the cramps are but shall wt and see!

Been trying since around March just tracking my cycles not temping yet, makes you wonder how so many woman just 'fall' pregnant when we're all trying so hard! First time for me and ny partner so its all new to us both.

ilikeyoursleeves · 18/10/2011 13:34

Hi all, I'm at work so this is a quick one but arrrgghh I don't know what to think! This morning I dug yesterdays test out the bin only to see that there is now a line at the test bit, ie 2 lines! There def wasnt a line there last night! What do you think? Can a bfp line be delayed or do you think it's an evaporation line? its the same colour as the test line & noticeable & I dont need to squint our hold it up to the light to see it

carriedababi · 18/10/2011 14:37

likeyoursleeves, sounds good but test again tomorrow am,as teh tests often say disgregard any result after 10 mins, do one in the am.

i think im going to crack and go another tomorrow, if thats neg then do another on fri/sat

they are only very cheap ones

amanda, are you goign to do the test alone on sat or with your dp?

OP posts:
Amanda29 · 18/10/2011 16:32

I'm doing it alone :) not sure why but just feel that's what best for me? But then I worry how I'll tell him?? Even tho its planned I think we'll both be shocked if its finally happened, I've done a few tests the last 6 months before I'm due and had a mix of disappointment and relief when its negative? Probably relieved because I got an answer and disappointed as it was bfn! x

ilikeyoursleeves · 18/10/2011 19:19

Omg! Omg! I couldn't resist & bought 2 more tests on the way home- I just did one & there is a really faint line but its def a line! Then I did another of the one I did last night & again there is a faint line that appeared after about 10 minutes so thats 3 tests now with faint lines, though the one from last night is more obvious since its evaporated.

I think I will do another one in the morning but omg I think the FET worked!

Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Good luck to everyone else testing soon!

witchyhills · 18/10/2011 19:21

LookIng good Sleeves!! How exciting

Amanda29 · 18/10/2011 19:59

oihh congrats Sleeves! That's got me thinking Sleeves... I tested 2 days before my last periond and got negative, I looked at it 4 days later (why do we keep them?!) And the window had darkend a little and there was a very faint line on the positive mark? I'd come on quite heavy by this point so didn't think anything of it... Oh dear :/ I'm still waiting tho!x

carriedababi · 18/10/2011 20:01

OP posts:
ilikeyoursleeves · 18/10/2011 20:42

Carrie I have my fingers crossed for you testing tomorrow

ilikeyoursleeves · 19/10/2011 07:46

I tested again at 5 am & got another faint line! I have now run out of tests but ordered some ebay ones to see if the line gets darker. Also have a blood test on monday so I'll hopefully find out the exact hcg levels then.

Have you tested yet carrie? Fingers crossed for you

Amanda29 · 19/10/2011 08:21

Well done all looking good!! Well after dreaming of a positive test I had to do one this morning and got a bfn :( now begs the question why my period has just vanished I'm usually very regular even though it varies from 28 - 35 days and saturday will be day 42 x

carriedababi · 19/10/2011 11:32

sounds good sleeves

well i did a test this am, at 6am because i needed a wee!

put it under my pillow as was too tired to wait 5-10 mins, then i had a dream that i woke up and it was bfp.
and i thought it was real and not a dream because in the dream, i woke up and took the test out from under the pillow, so i really thought it was real.

then when i actually did wake up it was a bfn.

still too early to test really so i'll do another on friday now.

amanada do you have any idea when you ovulated?

OP posts:
witchyhills · 19/10/2011 11:38

This is all so unfair and frustrating. Those dreams must have felt so real. Sad
I ordered some cheap tests off amazon
Pmt and pain seems to disappeared so feeling positive again.
Stupid

Amanda29 · 19/10/2011 14:51

I've worked out it would have been from sept 27th - 30th the should have came on sat 15th oct? Last week I had what looked like ewcm tho so maybe ovulating very late? Its frustrating but at the same time we've not been making any 'extra' effort just having sex as normal and when I think I'm ovulating, it all started as a case of if it happens it happens but now if I'm honest I'm worrying why its not 'just happened' yet :/ to top it all a close friend told me last night she 'fell' pregnant whilst on the pill!! How do they do it lol! x
