Thanks ladies!

Know exactly whar you mean with confusing symptoms baker. Why oh why do early pregnancy symptoms have to be the same as pms?! My breasts are sooo tender & depending on my (wildly erratic) mood this means either i'm def pregnant or af is definitely on the way.

Fx for us all!

Meh, so cramping got the better of me and I peed on the second stick in the pack, I was going to wait until wednesday at the earliest.

I swear I can see a line when you tilt it to the light correctly, well more like a shadow.

Probably just wishful thinking, evap or something but.... oh please let it be!

Ok, I used found a used stick from last cycle in my draw (rank I know but it was still in its pouch) I remember the bathroom being cold so I legged it back to the bedroom before reading it.

When I compare the two todays definitely has a line.

Stick baby. Stick Stick Stick!

Baker you never can tell - like BabyJames says, crampy can be our friend!

Think I will just have to lurk and cheer you guys on from afar... My hormones must have been jiggered post early mc. I ovulated last night. Mittelschmerz.

So I won't be testing til the 19th now. Grrr.

Fx for some BFP action soon for everyone else though!

Hello,
Very new to all this, nothing like this was around when I had DS (15). Now on 2nd DH, TTC #2, 15DPO, POAS errrrr well AF due today and so far she is a no show.

Had cramping all last week, some really sharp stabby efforts on Wednesday (have no idea how many DPO it was, I think about 10).

We shall see. GL everyone and please bare with me while I get to grips with all of this, not even sure I have posted in the right place Confused

BFN

Shop all out of frer, so got a clearblue with conception indicator. It took sodding ages to decide. I dont like em.

AF due on sat/sun so I'll just have to wait it out.

Bollocks.

Sorry to hear that Baker but probably still too early - I think it has a low accuracy 4 days before AF due, which gets higher every day until AF due.

My inner jury is still out on CBCI - used them last time but wasn't sure. Liked the black and white results though.

I second what Happylass said. Probably just too early and those hormones wouldn't show yet either way. I am sooo tempted to test but after MC last 2 cycles I am also very scared. Hi there Padster welcome and good luck.

Anyone know what's going on..or a guess...
Having come off the pill and assuming tht I'd have a normal 28 day cycle, I Dtd like crazy around cd14...I'm on cd16 now and cramping reeeeally bad. However the cm has gone (but it was stringy and white on cd14)
Basically I duno know whether ov was cd14 ish due to cm signs, or today due to cramping signs. Can u get cramping after ovulation?? Can't be implantation surely this early??

Hi frogchops, coming off the pill is 'all bets are off' territory - it can take a while to settle back down to reality, several months in many cases.

Plus, the withdrawal bleed isn't traditionally seen as a proper period (because the body hasn't ovulated so therefore it can't be, I guess).

I get a very sharp, specific cramp when I ovulate, so it could be that I guess, but honestly, it just sounds like your body's working itself out again. My first few cycles after the pill were all over the shop. They sorted out after about 3-4 months for me, but everyone's different.

No clue about cm though, I'll have to refer you to the TTC experts!

I'm on CD28 of a 32 day cycle, It's driving me mad! I just want to test. It's so hard.

I WANT TO KNOW!! Sorry, I just needed that, can't say it in RL so I hope you don't mind the rant!

Sorry about all the other bfn's, hopefully it's just to early for a +!!!

frogchops the first cycle off the pill is a bit of a minefield. Some say you're more fertile, but I don't think you can really look at ovulation etc because none of what's happened before has been a real period iyswim.
My first cycle off the pill was a bit odd, bit of a breakthrough bleed that was just like an implantation bleed (according to all discriptions I've read) & then my period came 2 weeks later. So 5 weeks after stopping the pill was my first AF. I started day counting after that.
Good luck. Smile

Yes frogchops, I came off the pill, had my breakthrough bleed. My first proper period came 32 days after my breakthrough bleed. My next one 29 days after that.

I am assuming I have a nice 28-29 day cycle and my body is still adjusting.

Hello

Can I join in? TTC DC#2 since August. Had a WTF cycle last month when for no apparent reason my usual 31 day cycle became a 36 day cycle so I went through all the the "no AF but BFN" stuff which was horrible so those of you going through it this cycle I know how you feel!

So, I don't really know where I am now or when I will test. I am on CD21 today. We just decided to DTD EOD from CD10 onwards this cycle and so far we've managed it! I was having a horrible time at work over the summer and was very stressed/lost of lot of weight etc but things are much better now and I hope being less stressed at work will help.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Hello there 2 wwrs, anyone else get that excited tingly Xmas eve feeling down below while waiting?? Every time someone mentions babies, pregnancy or children my stomach turns.
Anyway, just wondering.... Although I know we're supposed to Dtd even other day/as much as possible.... Is this still the case during the 2ww? Was thinking of going DP some 'time off' lol.... But if people suggest otherwise, I'll get back on it!!
