jelly that's not good that you can't get an appointment this week. I'd say that it is urgent and try and get one on Friday.

Well I'm 9/10dpo I think. Have been feeling constantly nauseous and have had tingling/sore boobs for last few days. Trying not to get my hopes up! Going away for a long weekend tomorrow so I'm going to test when I get back.

TakingTheStairs · 10/10/2012 16:37

raspberry cheesecake.... yes please chookford
I'm trying to decide what to make for a dinner party pudding next week and I think I'm going to go for mini tarlet size brownies, with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and caramel sauce on top. hopefully they'll look like this. Just hoping they won't be too heavy after duck with sweet potato purée
What do you think? (sorry for going off topic)

Still no sign of AF, thinking of testing again tomorrow or maybe I should wait till friday. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but usually once my cycle settles back down to 28 days which it has done I'm as regular as clockwork, I'd normally get cramps the day before AF arrives so am thinking it won't arrive tomorrow either.

Need to keep calm, when would you retest?

jellycurls what is ferning saliva? Never heard of this.

TakingTheStairs · 10/10/2012 16:58

eeeek Good Luck lexi I'd be testing tmr if I was you.
And again on Thursday! As long as there is no AF, there is hope Smile

woody17 · 10/10/2012 18:09

That menu sounds amazing takingthestairs

lexi I wouldn't be able to resist - I'd be testing again tomorrow!

I hope so littlepinkfizz

JellyCurls · 10/10/2012 19:34

lexie i didn't want to spend a fortune on ov sticks as used to have very irregular cycle so i bought a fertility microscope for about £10. You drop saliva on it every morning and let it dry then look at pattern it leaves. As you approach ovulation you produce more salt in saliva causing it to dry with a fern like pattern. Ferning gets more pronounced until ovulation then starts to go away again. Next morning you wipe lens and reuse.

Oh and checked after work and i appear to be ferning (2nd time this month)? Am so confused

LexiLoganberry · 10/10/2012 21:02

jellycurls that's very interesting.

I want to test tomorrow, will hold out as long as I can which will most likely be FMU tomorrowWink

JellyCurls · 11/10/2012 07:21

Ding ding .... stop the bus .... i think i am out for this month. Last nights ferning was wishfull thinking on my part, nothing to be seen when i rechecked.

Can't say for definite that AF is here but last night passed pink tinged cm blob ( if pregnant would say was my plug) sorry way tmi for this time of morning, and spotting this am. Good luck to all left on the bus

LexiLoganberry · 11/10/2012 08:22

Sorry to hear that jellycurls fx that AF doesn't arrive.

I retested this morning, I'm using first responce test's as I saw on here that the pink dye tests are better, got a faint line, according to the instructions any second line is a positive, I'm going to go and buy more tests today and test again tomorrow as I don't feel confident to say it is + when it's so faint.

I'm hoping it's just faint because there isn't alot of the hormone yet.

What do you think?

chookford · 11/10/2012 08:22

taking that looks and sounds fabulous!! Can I come to the dinner party?! Grin

jelly really sorry to hear that, fx next month will be your month!

knicker fabulous news! Congrats!!!

Taking yep fine with me!!! Grin

LexiLoganberry · 11/10/2012 09:48

Thanks but I think I'll wait taking going to do another test tomorrow.

Logically I know that there would be no line if it was negative, but I still don't feel completely confident with the result.

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 10:16

Well bfn for me this morning with FRER so it's final. Don't understand as v light spotting on what I thought close to ovulation then v v light spotting( not even enough to fill a panty liner, only to stain it) since Sunday. AF due Saturday.
Really gutted. Feel like giving up.
Now on to cycle 4. Wtf

TakingTheStairs · 11/10/2012 10:22

lexi, I thought you might feel like that, that's why I left you off for the moment. fingers crossed for you tmr.

Aw littlepink I'm really sorry. Don't give up. Have a little cry and then a bottle glass of wine

OP posts:
littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 10:30

Stupidly I convinced myself spotting may have been implantation bleeding. How stupid and dumb am I? Yet again I AM Not Pregnant. Pissed off big time. Feel like howling Sad

Dexidoo · 11/10/2012 10:30

Congrats knicker !!!

Tentative congrats lexi fx for a strong line tmrw

I am feeling pessimistic about this month, curses to the MIL in the spare room I think we missed the best days. DTD every day from 4-10 (hollibob shagging) then only day 12 and 15 (today) thanks to jet lag/ houseguest combo. Had +opk day 11&12 and think I ov'd day 14. Fingers crossed for swimmers with stamina

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 10:39

Does anyone have any idea why I have had spotting which I have never had before,ever. And I don't suppose anyone has ever had a false negative with a FRER? Clutching at straws. We Dtd the day we got the smiley. So gutted.

littlepinkfizz · 11/10/2012 10:41

Congrats though to knicker and lexi . Genuinely happy for you as I know as we all do the horrors of waiting for BFP every bloody month.well done ladies x
