Anyone fancy waiting together for the test on the 30th? for me AF is due in next day or so - have sore boobs etc etc... and a strong feeling (in the past was proven wrong). This is my second month of TTC.

Im testing on the 29th, near enough? I am due in the next couple of days. I dont have sore boobs, but I have been very ratty, peeing alot and also a strong feeling (though this has let me down alot int he past) This is my 6 month of TTC.

warzonemummy · 24/10/2011 14:56

Dear Greenzebra, hope the AF doesn't come your way. Come to think of it I am peeing a lot too but I am not reading into it because it has go ten a bit cold and I suppose we pee more often in the cold. Arghhhhh the wait, I used my last test this morning and now have vowed to not test until the 30th. Where I live I have to take a 30 mins journey to buy a test which helps.

AF is due for me on Saturday or Sunday.

I'm testing early on Friday as going to the ILs at the weekend and don't want to be dashing to the loo knicker checking nonstop!

However, if no AF on Sunday, I will test again on my return on Sunday.

Very impressed with you waiting to test til 30th if AF is due in the next day or so!

greenzebra · 24/10/2011 15:00

waiting is the hardest, I vowed after a chemical pregnancy a few months ago to always test when I am late, and never a day before the AF is due.
Hope the AF doesnt come your way either warzone.

Oh off to the loo again.

Hi, not sure when I'm going to test tbh but will probably be Wednesday morning as I have ordered some tests that will arrive with my tesco shopping tomorrow night Grin

We're not really trying to conceive as we have 3 dc already. I keep telling myself that life is just getting easier & I am happy with how it is, & I am except I LOVE being pg Grin Grin. If AF arrives then that's fine & I must take myself off to doc's to sort out more permanent contraception (I said that last month!) but if it doesn't then that's wonderful if a little scary as I'm now 42 & although my youngest is 2yrs old I would be giving birth at 43 & worry about what others think.

Anyway I'm on cd33 now & last month AF arrived on cd37. Have tested with other pg's on cd35 so Wednesday would be just about right. I have had a few symptoms from strong sense of smell with perfume & in car air freshener, hot flushes (is that a symptom?...not had before) & period pains on & off yesterday.Oh & think I'm getting the metallic taste in my mouth. Doing the usual knicker checking & the odd internal too Grin

saxony · 24/10/2011 16:04

Hiya
My AF is due Saturday too. It is my second month of ttc. All yesterday and this morning I have had very tender boobs. Hightenend sense of smell with cat food (bluergh) but the smell has happened before. The sore boobs mind, I don't normally get those until the day of my AF.

I have just bought a Superdrug test and I am sitting here debating whether to test. I mean if it says BFN I know I will test again nearer the time but I just can't resist now the test is actually IN...THE...HOUSE! It's calling me...I can hear it!!
:)

leaky · 24/10/2011 16:23

That made me laugh saxony "in the house"....men just don't understand us do they! My dh thinks I'm torturing myself just by being on here. I keep flicking the screen to my shopping page when he walks in the room,lol!

I'm popping into tesco later to get some food that won't be on offer tomorrow when shopping comes & wondering whether i can resist buying tests tonight lol. Then can I hold onto it til the morning too??

warzonemummy · 25/10/2011 10:25

:) Hello everyone,
I really wanted to check today but thank god I didn't have a tester.
Today I have been so busy with work that since early morning, until this moment just now, I didn't early think too much. I have developed a slight, almost nice, pain lower right hand side of my belly. Trying not to think too much. I hope these are not period pains!
only 5 days to go. By the way, I am in the middle east, so about 5 hrs ahead of the UK so I will get to test before all of the UK based ladies :)

greenzebra · 25/10/2011 10:31

Oh right warzone, I did think about testing yesterday but I couldnt let the pact down. I have a slight tummy ache but nothing special. So just have to sit it out till the weekend. Fx for the lot of us.

QueenoftheVerse · 25/10/2011 14:14

Hey guys, can I join up?

AF is also due on Sun for me but I'm feeling like it's going to come Sad I tested this morning (couldn't resist) and it was BFN. I've also had sore boobs and twinges in my lower belly (please please don't be AF). I'm running to the loo all the time too!

I'm determined not to test again until Sunday

This will be my 5th month ttc, I have one fantastic DS who is 3 but unfortunately had a still birth almost a year ago, and a mc in June this year. The thing that's making me slowly insane is that until now I have managed to fall pregnant very easily, IIRC the first month of trying.

FX for everyone!

greenzebra · 25/10/2011 14:23

Hi Queen of course you can join up.

I am determined not to test till saturday, Im not sure if I am or not. Ive had to much heart ache to think sometimes, one minute Im convinced I am the next Im not. Its very hard. At the moment I m having a few mild crampings, this is nothing as I usually have really bad AF pain, so I dont know what to think. I am due on today, well if the past three months are anything to go by.

My DD1 was stillborn in April and I also had a CP in July.

fx for you

saxony · 25/10/2011 16:54

I have my fx for everyone. I tested yesterday as it was calling me SO loudly from the bathroom drawer I had to shut it up. Well it was a BFN. I am not due til Saturday so will resist til then. I literally walked home from work just now and was marching towards B & M to buy a cheapie and stopped myself mid step and walked home without doing it. Slap on the back for me I think!!!!

My boobs have been very tender and I dont normally get that til the day of AF, and they are never as sore as they have been so I am really hoping.

leaky · 25/10/2011 19:33

I soo know what you mean saxony. I was in Asda earlier & even though I knew my tests were arriving this evening with internet shopping, I still had the HUGE UNCONTROLLABLE URGE to test there & then & so I did Blush. I was ok with the BFN especially as my wee was as clear as water. Stupid really but I am so weak.

Anyway I will test again tomorrow with FMU. I'm sure I am pg & though I said that last month it does feel different this time. Today I have also developed a full blown head cold & felt so rough I even went to bed for an hour earlier as my dh had the day off. That is unheard of for me & all I can put it down to is the fact that I must be pg & my immunity is lower Grin.

saxony · 25/10/2011 20:23

Ooh Leaky..let us know how you get off in the morning. I don't have any tests here right now. I really don't know whether to wait until the day after AF due (Sunday) or try testing on Fridat night.
We are all the same aren't we...it's constantly on our minds!

leaky · 26/10/2011 11:00

Morning all. I am feeling really rough & had one of the worst nights sleep I can remember. Woke at 12.50 with headache, arms aching & stomach feeling funny plus not being able to breath properly. It had only been 1hr 40 mins since i wee'd last so didn't want to get up to the toilet. I knew I needed to wait until at least 3.15am for a 4yrly wee. Well I could not get back to sleep. I knew if I got up then I might be awake every few hrs anyway so was determined not to go. So that was me awake til 3.15. I got up & POAS but got a bfn although it does have a very faint line I'm not sure if that's what others refer to as an evaporation line. Surely the 2 lines should be the same colour.

I'm back in bed now as dh has taken the day off to look after our 3 dc. It really isn't like me at all to be like this. Not sure if I'll test tomorrow. Think I will try & hold off til Friday. It is horrible when you are certain you are pg but you need a bfp to prove it

Hope everyone else is ok. I'm off to sleep now. (typed this on my phone so sorry for any mistakes)

leaky · 26/10/2011 11:04

Had a quick read & spotted my mistake. If only I did only need to wee 4 yrly! ! Grin. Right better try to sleep. I can feel another headache looming & can only take paracetamol.

greenzebra · 26/10/2011 11:26

I know what you mean girls, just been to sainsburys to buy lunch and it took all my might to not buy a test. Main reason though is that sainburys is only over the road from work so dont know whose lurking over there. I was due yesterday or today and still no AF as of yet, I do feel dog rough though and have a splitting headache. I have a test at home but I promised not to test till saturday so I think I might wait.

MmeABC · 26/10/2011 13:47

I'm supposed to test on November 2nd but I'm sooo scared. I feel like I might be pregnant but this is my first month TTC and I don't really know what to expect. I almost don't want to test just in case I'm wrong...

I know I'll be really really lucky if I am pregnant already.

I'm writing a blog about trying and stuff to keep me sane! Haven't spoken to my OH about my feelings on the subject or my friends so it's only on forums and on the blog that I can really explain...

Anyway, let me know how you get on with your tests! Not long to go now!!!

leaky · 27/10/2011 09:58

Morning all, how's everyone doing? I'm feeling lots better just headaches through the night & full of cold. I'll own up & tell you I did yet another test in the night Blush but as usual a BFN. I also have had lower back pain, very mild though so wondering is AF is imminent. I don't understand my body anymore though. i never used to get anything, just pain when AF did arrive. Now I'm getting crampy pains days beforehand which disappear again. That used to be a pregnancy symptom for me Confused

QueenoftheVerse · 27/10/2011 10:16

Well I've managed to resist buying more tests so far. I'm really proud of myself! I had to run to the shops last night as DP had a migrane which meant I had to go into the section that has the tests - and resisted!!!

I've been getting those crampy pains too and they also come and go. Usually before AF I get slight pink staining when I wipe and I haven't got that yet so crossing all fingers and toes at the moment. God, I'm going to feel like such an amature if AF arrives this weekend.

shinyblackgrape · 27/10/2011 13:21

Leaky - I tested on Wed with a First Response - BFN!

I think AF is due between Sat night and Monday morning (usual 28 day clockwork cycle been slightly out the last two months - think due to the stress/excitement of getting married!). I'm sure I ov-ed on the Sat night as used OPK and had bad cramps.

I have been doing internet cheapies each day since Wed and all negative. They are meant to be very sensitive.

I'm the same as you though that I have had various crampings etc which I normally never got pre-AF. I am now thinking that I am going mad and imagining things! [hhmm] I don't know though if it is because I have been slavishly symptom spotting and things I wouldn't have noticed before, I am now.

This is only my first cycle of ttc so God knows what I will be like in 12 months or so! prays it wont take that long

I'm waiting to see what happens. I'll probably keep doing the internet cheapies each morning but wont use another First Response unless AF hasn't appeared on Monday

saxony · 27/10/2011 16:14

Ok ok forgive me girls, for I have tested. It has been 3 days since my last test.

I have been punished though as it was a bfn Confused. What I don't understand is that my boobs have never been so sore, been tender since Sunday night. I have never had that happen before. The test I used was the B & M cheapie sticks which stated that they weren't to be used until the first day of your missed af. My af is not due until Saturday so my only hope is that I tested too early Hmm

MrsCotter · 27/10/2011 16:21

Hi, would u mind if I joined? Compelling reading ladies! AF is due on weds, been falling into deep hour long sleeps on the sofa( highly unusual for me! ) may do a test on Sunday as the waiting is doing my head in! DH has been looking after me whenever I've been feeling( and looking! ) rough. have also had waves of nausea and belly feels bloated all the time. Good luck to all testing xxxxx

leaky · 27/10/2011 19:19

Welcome MrsCotter nice to have another one on board. Wouldn't it be great if we could really meet up for tea & cakes. We could chat forever Grin & my cake would be um, lemon drizzle closely followed by any cake with buttercream icing, followed by walnut with buttercream, oh I'll eat any cake really Grin so any takers?

Never mind saxony, the test industry Confused make a packet out of crazy women women like us!

Well I've been knicker checking all day. I'm certain AF will arrive thru the night. I have one test left & will keep it til at least Saturday now. Am on cd36 now & last month she arrived on cd37. Just asda one left & don't know how good they are so need to wait as long as possible now.

Well done Queen for resisting the urge. Bet you felt the pull though!

How are you doing warzonemummy? Haven't heard from you for a few days...not been out for another test then?

Good luck everyone Wink

MrsCotter · 27/10/2011 21:37

Cake is always good :) hope you get a BFP soon x
