Seeing as the old thread is nearly full, lets carry on the chat here!

I am hating being on AF watch. Part of my hopes it arrives overnight so i don't have to POAS. I don't think I could handle another bfn.

berri in what sence?

Lolcbcbstrawberry · 25/08/2012 22:35

Good luck frustrated.
Had to explain to someone on other thread why I changed my name!!

frustrated I've stupidly been googling and it seems that sometimes faint lines are very low hormone levels which can indicate its a chem pregnancy which you're more likely to miscarry. So I want my line to be darker!

Dexidoo · 26/08/2012 07:06

Good luck for the retest berri

Are there many of us still in it for an August BFP? I am flitting between here and the Sept thread- I was going to wait until next weekend to test but I think I'm going to go for it mid week.

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 07:43

Right no AF. AF due today or tomorrow. I feel such a chicken Do I POAS or wait til tomorrow? answer quick or I'll wee myself--

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 08:12

Well I caved. BFN. not even a shadow I could squint at Now just hoping AF starts today so I have a cd1 cramps have started now I've got up. Back to work in September so lots of distractions from obsessing, which can only be a good thing.
lolcbcb I shall see you in September.

Lolcbcbstrawberry · 26/08/2012 08:14

Oh no. Sorry frustrated. That sucks Sad
I'm
On the sep one already. Just been waiting for u and berri x

SuperSlattern · 26/08/2012 08:16

Aww frustrated . I know what you mean, id rather get it out of the way too.

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 26/08/2012 08:23

Good luck berri.
Frustrated it ain't over to the red bitch appears but I get your frustration. Poas this morning and bfn again. Cd37 today! Fucks sake what's going on? Should I try a different pregnancy test? Have been using ic and thought they were most sensitive and if they are and I'm not pregnant where the fooks my period? I've never been this late ever! Any recommendations for pregnancy tests? Am quite fed up. Might make appt at doc tomoro or blood test cos somethings not right. Help!

After thy very self absorbed rant good luck to everyone else still waiting for bfp or af!

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 08:40

lolcbcb we can be testing buddy's. Grin
slattern sorry i can't remember are you in or out for August
ninja I get your frustration with the ICs, like you don't quite trust them because they're cheapies. that's me anyway apparently SuperDrug own brand or sainsburys own brand are good and don't break the bank. I'm a fan of FRER, but lolcbcb is a CB digital fan
How many days over are you now? I'd be tempted to see dr if AF didn't show up after 7days.
And cervical position and a few cramps say I'm out of the running too. just hoping she's here before the end of the day. which I have no doubt she will be, I knew it would be a bfn before I PIAR

Random question, how to I up EWCM? I get loads of watery cm, but EWCM has been lacking in recent cycles, beginning to think there's something in that, maybe I should just get some sperm friendly lube.

Lolcbcbstrawberry · 26/08/2012 08:44

Loving the fruity name ninja Smile
We will either all get bfps or all look very silly with these new names!
Frustrated I'm not an expert in cm. I still get confused on what is what and which one comes first Blush
Yay let's be poas buddies!

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 26/08/2012 08:53

I'm not sure on days tbh. Only been off pill for 3 months (and a wreck already) first cycle was 33 days and 2nd was 26 and this one so far is 37! Got my bfp with ds on cd34.
I've got no idea about ewcm either I'm afraid. I'm a bit rubbish about knowing what the bells going on with my body so settled for the dtd every other day method and keep my fingers crossed. Might buy a couple of tests and do one in morning tomoro. Hope af doesn't turn up for you frustrated or you lolcbcb x

Lolcbcbstrawberry · 26/08/2012 08:56

Thanks ninja. Good luck. I'm on af now. Just on this thread as made some friends. Been out for aug since wed but like it here Smile

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 09:07

Aw don't say that ninja I need CD1
I'm surprisingly obsessive considering I'm almost on cycle 4 after Mirena coil. Perhaps your cycles are just settling down after pill? I have no idea really I hope bfp arrives for you. Screwy cycles suck.

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 26/08/2012 09:07

Sorry lol what a plum I am! Good luck for next time then. I'm not leaving this thread till af arrives or bfp

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 26/08/2012 09:08

I hope af doesn't turn up cos you're pregnant frustrated!! Grin

IShotJR · 26/08/2012 09:08

Me too Lolcbcbstrawberry,

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 09:17

ninja I'm so out. But will stick here with my fruity friends until folks get up-diffed lines, or icky pants but obviously rooting for the 1st option for all but myself this month

2 tickets IShotJR! That's just greedy. Envy not that I had 2 tickets for August or anything

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 09:39

Needed a new name that sounded better with lol
This silliness has lightened my mood Grin

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 26/08/2012 09:47

uh huh!

Right I know I'm obsessing but I'm so "late" that I'm going mad. I have just worked out how long it took to get a bfp with ds. We dtd on a day and we are certain we conceived that day, we weren't doing it that much and we have other reasons I will not divulge so pretty sure that's when it happened. Obviously I don't know how long from then til egg met sperm etc. I got a bfn 17 days after that day and a bfp 19 days after.
So this month we dtd on 13th and that was last time we dtd cos I figured I was due on. Few days after that going by last months cycle length but say I ovulated really late this month, if I count from 13th I'm only 14 days after that date. Could that be why I'm getting a bfn but I'm really late? I know I'm clutching at straws and this probably makes no sense and you prob want to call the men in white coats but what do you think?

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 10:05

lolcbcb you're very citrus-y. I noticed some vegetables in September, frustratedauberginepants? Do aubergines wear pants?

ninja I AF isnt here by Tuesday I'll go to SuperDrug but she will be here this afternoon before 5
in which case 19dpo gives you until Friday. Hmm I don't want to raise your hopes, or knock you down But wouldn't a faint something show on dpo 14? but if you only got a line on cd19 last time maybe not but that gives you a 42day cycle.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 10:07

It's always possible ninja so don't give up hope till af comes! You seem rather late however as you just came off pill it could be that your cycles are still getting back to normal.
It's hard I know but try not to get too hopeful in case it comes. Good luck. F x

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 26/08/2012 10:14

I know it makes no seems does it? You're right it's more likely messed up cos of coming off pill. Have got doc appt for tues which I will cancel if af appears to see if they can figure out what's going on. And no on the 17th day I had a bfn completely no faint line which is why I was a bit surprised with the bfp 2 days later. Aargh I dunno, gotta wait it out I suppose. Thanks guys. Gotta go now as per usual I've stuff to do and I'm not supposed to be sat on mumsnet.
Will buy a different test later for tomor morning just to torture myself some more see you later ladies x

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 10:21

Catch ya later ninja
I suppose I'd better get dressed and go to video shop to get DVDs to occupy little people so I can paint some more also need more paint
