Who's testing round about 21st of July? Fancy being mental together?

[CamelKnees]

Ok so best guess is OV sometime in the past 3 days. Should really wait until 21st to test going by previous cycle length.

I'm not a good 2 week waiter. Am impatient and mental and a particularly avid symptom spotter. Please come and keep me company in this fortnight of doom...........

Just poas. Bfn. Will totally try to hold off now till next weekend.

I'm trying to hold out until actually late too...due on Thursday.

Well, cycle not that regular, could be anytime between thursday and the following Thursday, so am hoping it won't have appeared by next weekend then I'll test again.

Hi, can I join you all please? I've been reading for a bit but nervous to actually post. I've had a funny cycle with 5 days of spotting from 6 dpo and didn't know what to think. Then I did a stupid thing and poas on dpo 10 (on friday), which is probably at least 5 days too early, but I got a bfp and was a bit shocked! Now I'm absolutely terrified of having a chemical pregnancy. AF would be due probably on wednesday at the earliest (i don't have regular cycles so not sure about that) so I'm just hoping that if I can make it to wednesday I can start to relax a bit more. Never thought I'd be this terrified. Didn't get a bfp with my first pregnancy until way after AF was due & didn't have any spotting either. 5 days is a lot of spotting for implantation isn't it? Have been too scared to test again since the bfp.

Thank you! Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a whinger, I'm just new to actively ttc & worried about the spotting & because won't know if it's a real bfp till I've at least missed AF. Only have digital tests so no line. I read somewhere that 50% of pregnancies end in chemical pregnancy? Didn't know that before I tested early.

Anyway, that's so sweet & thoughtful of your dh!

Just started an "I'm freaking out' thread of my own before seeing this one here. Hello, fellow freakers out - can I join??
To repeat myself, I'm freaking out!!! AF due today and am terrified every time I go to the loo in case I see evil evidence. I got myself in a right state last time by testing early so am holding off on that - would rather just see arrival of AF than wait for that dreaded unwanted result to appear in pg test window IYKWIM.
Worst thing is that have had a gazillion symptoms this month but could of course just be bloody PMS. Breasts are the size of melons (and am usually more like golfball sized ), also they are very sore and kind of hard, weird cramping only a few days post ov which I don't usually have, upset stomach for last 2 days, more spots than usual. Obviously this is almost certainly all just hilarious PMS and/or I've imagined most of the symptoms and so brought them on myself. Am impressively psycho-somatic at the best of times, seriously I can actually bring on a headache just by thinking I have one...
Am working from home today so am obsessing more than ever and really am just getting myself in a state again.
I hate this :(

weeyun - congrats! and ESPECIALLY LUCKY you being so new to TTC and getting pregnant so quickly. It's understandable to be worried, but just chill!!

emerald - sounds promising! I totally know what you mean about AF and preggo symptoms being the same - it's frigging annoying isn't it!

My AF due on Weds. This will be cycle 2 since my ectopic and cycle 12 in total. I can't help hoping that it might be my turn!!

Does that meean you will test tomorrow if AF doesn't show then emerald? You will offcially be late then!

Aw, a fridge lisa, that is so thoughtful! I need to clear a space for mine to go in there. Maybe we should start a CB Trial thread, in case we have questions etc. I already have a question of when we start the collecting. Is it CD1?

Dulcet - yes I guess I would test tomorrow - I am occasionally a 30 day cycle instead of a 29 (is day 29 today) so it's still not massively late if it hasn't come by then... I just dread testing so much that I am aiming to hold off as long as I can. I think I've got myself almost phobic about testing!!!

iloveberries - really??? really?? do you think it sounds promising??? I love to hear that!!! Oh, if only a nice internet person could just tell me I'm pg instead of having to go through all this hideous waiting/testing malarkey :)

Phobic of testing?! We are addicts around here! haha. Obviously much harder if you think it will be BFP and its not though.

Dulcet I think it was my previous addiction that has made me phobic :)

I can understand that. Last month I was POAS every other day pretty much. This month I have learnt a lot more about just how long it takes so much less POAS. Waiting until Thursday now, I am sure that wouldn't have happened last month!

Dulcet fingers crossed for you for Thurs!
I know it sounds weird given how much am dreading appearance of AF but I think I'd still rather endure that than the horrible wait for the lines to appear (or not).
Plus I cringe to think how much £££ I have wasted on those damn tests.
I hate them so much now that even looking at the packaging makes me angry!!! Of course none of this is helped by the fact that I am a psychotic and moody cow when I am expecting my period anyway! Thanks for that, MOther Nature.

Owwww emerald it does sound promising!!! How can you restart poas, I'd be squating the minute you said tender big boobs!!
Dulcet fx for you, not long to wait! I think alot of us on this thread are on the cb trial so a new thread would be good, should we start now or wait for outcome? I'm due this wk too, I think we are surposed to start cd1 but you wouldn't be able to take a wee sample then as it has to be first wee of the day and we won't know it's cd1 until af hits will we? Or atleast that's what I've made of it?

kittykats unfortunately I have a tendency to get vast (for me!) and sore boobs every time AF due anyway so have tried and failed not to read too much into that symptom... they are worse than usual though this time.

I just made it kitty, it's in conception since I thought we must all be at the TTC stage to take part. I think your understanding is right. I guess if we start AF during the day we will have to do it from CD2 and maybe just note it down on the diary thing. I need to read the diary thing better!

I started a thread, yay!

PoAS again and BFN. Still could technically be too early but am driving self crazy!

Also came up with my most random symptom yet so gather round....

Lack of excruciating pain when eyebrow plucking in week before AF is due.

Ta daaaaaaaa!

Told you it was random

In my defence they do normally sting like a bugger when AF us due though....

Do I get a prize for most ridiculous symptom yet??????

Oh and of course hello and welcome fellow mental women

May your wee be concentrated and you stay here short

Hmmmm... is it more mental than the armpit one camel??

I want some symptoms! I am symtom-less really. Although now I am wondering if there is a slight ache in my right side. Oh, oh, and I tripeed over my own feet in the supermarket when usually I am so perfectly poised and balanced yeah, right!

Lol camel I think dulcet is right is it more crazy then the armpit one? I'm not sure!!!!!
I have no symptoms but havnt when pg anyway so it's not the best indicator but is driving me crazy non the less, camel I tested bfn this morning too but like you we are early, makes me feel like its not going to be my month though!!

Eyebrow plucking pain free? Interesting, interesting...One of my first symptoms last time was a bit of bruising when i waxed my bikini line (poss not a symptom just an unfortunate coincidence....). Maybe check eyebrow line for slight bruising? I mean, just if you happen to be passing one of those magnifying mirrors....

Hahaha if I'm passing one of those magnifying mirrors maybe I should look for my marbles as well???

Can you imagine if MN didn't exist and I had to bring this amount of crazy to my real life? Someone would be having me committed!

Maybe you wouldn't tell anyone camel and then your brain would explode!
