Queen sorry about the BFN. But, not over until that fat hag makes an appearance with her red cloak of doom!!!

Jaffa even being at work does not stop the obsessive behaviour constant thinking about TTC and babies.

I was as shocked as you are about the digi, but they are the hard facts. And they are not all that sensitive.

I think Superdrug or First Response are the best. If i get a positive on a first response I know to trust, and likewise with a negative.

QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 10:51

I think I agree Moo. Think I will get those and try to wait to do them with FMU.

jaffacakehips · 02/07/2012 11:09

Sorry Queen BFN suck.

Red cloak of doom, Mooley you crack me up Grin

I used a First Response yesterday...bugger. Maybe I should POAS Superdrug test I've got or just not bother. Oh well next month ladies, next month.

But until AF arrives Jaffa you just never know.

No idea when my AF due as only just off the pill.

Feel less sick today (but still feel sick) and less sore boobs, but still sore so we'll see. Just a waiting game I guess.

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 02/07/2012 11:33

Jaffa when is/was AF due?

Queen i know you probably already know this, but it can sometimes take a while for your cycles to settle down after coming off the pill (i waited over a year for my first and things went down hill from there).

If nothing soon though, it might be worth a trip to the docs to see if they might prescribe provera or something to kickstart it (obviously if you have not gotten your BFP in the meantime).

QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 11:55

Thanks Moo, I did know. Last time it was 2 months before I had a bleed, then 6 weeks after that we conceived DD without another bleed.

I just didn't feel anything like this the last time, and have been on it for far less time this time.

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 02/07/2012 13:18

I have everything crossed that the pee sticks are just being slow on the uptake then!!

You know your body best. They do say you are at your most fertile after coming off the pill. Maybe a blood test is needed. Some women don't have high concentrations of hCG in their urine, because their bodies break it down too quickly. Maybe this is what is happening.

I really hope you get that BFP...........and soon Grin

QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 13:34

OMFG, I think I MIGHT have a BFP! Line that definitely wasn't there on the last one, but not sure it's in the right area. Was strong now faded to almost nothing. Am nothing as I type this evaporation line. Sod it, Superdrug now!

QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 13:49

Scratch that, after a bit of internet research while DD destroys the house it was def in the wrong area. As you were.

what a dickhead

QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 15:00

Ok, so here's my full theory and you can let me know what you think obsessed much?

Came off pill mid-pack on 3rd June, after being on it for 2 years.

Started withdrawal bleed on 5th June til 9th. DTD on 9th June, 17th June and a couple of times after.

On 20th June I had one small streak of red blood in my pants, which it crossed my mind it might be an implantation bleed or all in my head. I also some one sided cramping.

Then about a week later started getting sore boobs, feeling sick, possible extra sensitive sense of smell and tired. Has been getting worse until today and a bit better.

So if my theory of DTD on 17th being the possible date of conception, that puts me on day 16 post DTD. Do you think something should show by now or still a bit early?

With DD I got BFNs at what would have been about 17 days post conception on Boots own brand, then v stong positive on FR at 5.5 weeks. Didn't test in between.

So I guess it is a bit early anyway. Apologies this so long.

Has helped me to type it though.

Anyway I am in possession of 2 x Superdrug and 2 x FR now! Which should I try first? [Smile]

jaffacakehips · 02/07/2012 15:11

Whooooooppppppp Queen POAS NOW!!!!

OP posts:
jaffacakehips · 02/07/2012 15:23

Re-read...i'm Confused Queen POAS anyway!

poas again...a big BFN. I should of started my period on the 29th.

My last cycle was 27 days and before that 28 days. FDLP was 2nd June. I've just done some googleing If I am pregnant I'm about 4 weeks..and on baby center it mentioned testing this week or next. Maybe I have been too early Anyway I've brought a digi one will hide from DH and try again tomorrow as i'll be 5 days late. If nothing by Thursday I'm going my GP.

QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 15:23

Jaffa! I am trying to be strong and wait til FMU tomorrow Hmm

jaffacakehips · 02/07/2012 15:25

I'll POAS tomorrow too then! Grin

OP posts:
MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 02/07/2012 15:25

Right; interesting. You need to consider 2 many things!!

Firstly, you are 16 days post last sexy time, but that doesn't mean you are 16 days post ovulation. You could have ovulated 2 days later, a day later, the day of or the day before. So a positive pee stick might not yet show because there might not be enough hCG present.

Secondly; you could test now, but considering point one above, FMU is the best source of hCG, so again, it might give a false negative.

Thirdly; I think you should POAS now because myself and Jaffa really really really want you to get your BFP

Fourthly; it's raining outside!

Fifthly; they are bloody good symptoms.

Sixthly; as you didn't get a positive until very late on with DD, it may well be too early. Every pregnancy is different though.

Seventhly...............ok no seventhly, just POAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

Mooley

Can you work out my dates alla Queen and give me a wee boosty pretty please

OP posts:
MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 02/07/2012 15:44

Grin jaffa I know this, and I should be working. Have got it playing not so secretly on my iPhone (not that there is anyone in the house to tell me off for it), patiently waiting for the Murray game to start and trying to write the paper i need to finish for my assessment in November. It's not going well. I am torn between watching the tennis and posting on here.

Jaffa once we get queen sorted, we will have to deeply analyse what the feck is going on with your current cycle!!! Grin

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 02/07/2012 15:49

No probs Jaffa, just need a wee bit of information from you.

Firstly; how long was the hags red cloak of doom present for?
Secondly; what days did you had sexy time?
Thirdly; Do you know how long your LP is? (Luteal phase, the time from when you ovulate to the time the red cloak of doom arrives again). This is usually a fixed point, ranging from 10-16 days (anything under 10 us deemed a luteal phase defects and is not long enough for the egg to implant).

Thanking you kindly :)

jaffacakehips · 02/07/2012 15:56

I think rain will stop Murray in about 20 mins so you get work make a cuppa then Grin

  1. Red Hags = 6 days
  2. 10th, 13th and 17th June. Blush DH was away so he was jumped Grin
  3. 14 days (i think) same last month too. Do you count the day you ovulate?

It feels good to share! Wink

OP posts:
QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 16:19

Jaffa sorry missed second post. I agree GP if no AF soon, maybe a blood test?

Thanks for all info, will re-read a few times to digest.

FYI Didn't test between 17 days post conception and 5.5 weeks with DD as we were 'half trying' and no AF was normal at that stage. Might have shown earlier if had tested IYSWIM.

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 02/07/2012 16:28

Right this one is a bit more tricksty than Queen's but will give it my best shot.

Right, i have a few theories based on a range of dates. I reckon you could have ovulated anywhere from CD13-CD18 (and possibly even later). Do you know for certain when you ovulated? If so i'll calculate that in later, if not then we are going in blind Grin

I think you have a 13 day LP (you don't count the day you ovulate). Based on this, there are a few options:

  1. You ov'd on CD14, AF should have a strolled in 29th June
  2. You ov'd on CD15, AF should have a strolled in 30th June
  3. You ov'd on CD16, AF should have a strolled in 1st July
  4. You ov'd on CD17, AF should have a strolled in today.

Given all of that, no matter what, you are late; but as I said to Queen some women just don't produce high levels of hCG in their urine. However, there is a teeny tiny possibilty that you ov'd later than you thought, as without tracking your BBT etc you just have no way of knowing the exact dates.

But, considering your previous cycles have been pretty clockwork, you have had an aversion to smells, your boobs are huge (not that i can see them, may i add) and there are probably other symptoms too, I think you should POAS in the morning (but NOT with the Digi) Digi's are only used to confirm 2 pink lines (that is the rule of Moo!!)

Grin
QueenSconetta · 02/07/2012 16:43

Lol, Rule of Moo Grin, I like it.

jaffacakehips · 02/07/2012 17:24
