hello lovely ladies..
anyone on there two week wait?
want to share stories, symptoms, news and hopefully bfp!!!!!!!

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Twenty which pregnancy tests are you using to test so early?
I'd love to POAS daily but it's frighteningly expensive!

[twentythirteen]

London I use the internet cheapies, and they come in two strengths, I get the more sensitive ones. A pack of ten is about 5 or 6 pounds. The smiley faces and the weeks pregnant indicators are nice but I'd rather poas a lot. I get my opks from the same site, Home Health UK (sorry I don't know how to do links) 40 of them costs about 6 pounds. And they dispatch very quickly.

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Thanks Twenty I will investigate that during my lunchtime.... I've POAS using FR and I'm paying £10 for 2 sticks...... whoops!

[gilly86]

What brand are the cheapies you get online? Where from? Amazon? Xx

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Twenty the sensitivity is 10mIU/ml for STRIPS and 20mIU/ml for sticks.... have I got this right? I can't find 10mIU/ml test sticks.

Gilly I've been looking at the same site that Twenty referred to in her last post - home health Uk.

BFN for me. Really glad I dealt with the disappointment yesterday. Had a little cry on dh then went shopping and to the cinema to cheer me up. Feeling ready to take on next month now . Dh must have told his mum we weren't having much luck with trying because I had a very wierd phonecall from DMIL last night detailing all her issues getting pregnant with DH and saying not to give up hope. Which was nice but a bit odd to talk to her about something so personal when even my own mum doesn't know we're ttc!

Agree with the ic's. I use the Home Health ones too and they've got a good reputation. They are very addictive though, and if you use opks a lot during the first half of your cycle you might feel like you're constantly weeing in cups! I've had very convincing evap lines twice on them though, which can be misleading. I used to poas daily during 2nd half of 2ww but it takes over your life. My current strategy is to limit myself to one frer per month and then use the cheapies as back up.

Gilly like others have said, the best way to get pregnant is to dtd both before and after the opk, until you are sure you've ovulated. So you are on track still.

spring, sorry to hear af got you. Our bfps due next month .

I'm staying on this tread until I see some bfps!!!

[Trinpy]

thread not tread.

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Trinpy Do you use the strips or sticks? The strips seems to be more sensitive but am not liking peeing in a cup!

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

ah trinpy so sorry to hear it was not your month. that was nice of dh to treat you to shopping and cinema.
fx for next month.

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Sorry that AF got you Trinpy and how lovely of your DH to spoil you.

As for hanging around for some BFP, well it won't be coming from me......!

[Springbells]

Trinpy - just checking in, sorry to see bfn. Here's to our April bfps (and a lovely Christmas present!) have given myself a stern talking to ( kick up the arse ) and am now looking positively forward!

Come on the bfps for the rest of you!

[izoot]

Just started my first TWW and I did not realise it would be so hard! Really helpful reading all these posts, good to know that I am not the only one!
Feel like I have had loads of symptoms but really don't want to get my hopes up as they are probably all in my head, currently at 7dpo.
So far:
3dpo-5dpo- cramping and fluttering in pelvis, nips are agony, abdomen feels full/bloated
6dpo- less cramping, sharp pain in left ovary (side I OVed from) slight brown in CM
7dpo- watery brown CM, no cramping, still nip/bb pain

I tend to get 4 days of brownish CM before AF so think I should not get my hopes up, but still feel like I can't stop thinking about it!
Wishing you all lots of luck

[twentythirteen]

London yes it's for the strips that you dip into the collected wee, as Trinpy said. I used to use the normal strength ones but I never got a positive. I use an old coffee cup that shall never see light in the kitchen again! I was going to ask what you don't like about weeing into a cup but it's obvious really, I don't like it either. I'm used to it now though and no longer think of it as that much of a hassle. I don't think I've ever had an evap line and although I think I get the concept I am confused by it. I don't read a strip after the time limit. Also, once I start showing a faint line on the opk I start testing two to three times a day so if I did have evap I suppose I would find out pretty quickly if I'd had a dud.

Trinpy, did you actually get your af? I'm guessing from your certainty but your post read like there might still be a chance if af hasn't come?

Good luck Izoot!

[sunflowered]

london - if you don't want to wait for ics to arrive in the post you could try a 99p store, they're 3 for 99p. Read somewhere that they're ok for early testing but can't see on the packet how sensitive they are.

Sorry af caught you trinpy - fx for an april bfp and an early xmas present.

[Bambalam]

I'm in my first 2WW of TTC cycle 1 . Of course I saaaaiiid I wouldn't get obsessed but here I am again trawling MN hoping to confirm symptoms, when logically I know the only thing that will do it is a BFP!

Poor DH, I was all over him not long ago and now I'm barely responding to him as I'm glued to this...must-log-off (but can't)

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

any bfps yet??

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

bam ha ha ha I know my dp is saying the exact same thing you r always on mn bla bla bla
so addictime but really helping me through this bliming tww.

[Trinpy]

Thanks for the support everyone.

I'm having bad cramps and a little bit of pinkish bleeding this morning. So not full-blown af yet but I'm pretty sure it's on its way. Obviously will test again if not here by weekend, but I'm counting myself out.

Someone on this thread had better get a bfp soon

[sunflowered]

Bfn here this morning but af not due for a few days so will poas again on sat if she still hasn't shown her face. With sore nipples, funny metallic taste on and off, plus the start of a headache, I thought something might show up. Probably just af warning signs combined with yet another cold.

[Lucky13ForBaby]

Testing agai today. Scared scared scared

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Trinpy sorry that the witch has got you Lets hope some of the others can accomodate your request for a BFP.

Sunflower your symptoms sound very promising! Lets hope that its means that a BFP is on its way and not another cold.

Good luck with POAS today Lucky

Didn't POAS today, didn't see the point of wasting a good stick. My sore nipples and and tender breasts have disappeared and this is usually the case 1-2 days before AF shows up. I'm expecting AF tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Just wish she's hurry up so that we can start my next cycle of TTC.

Are you planning to TTC next month? I've read that some people may want to give next month a miss as they don't want a December baby...... Personally, I'm still going to TTC as I can't afford to waster time at my age!

Come one ladies, we need a BFP on this thread!!!!

[hypnotisingchickens]

Can I join in ladies? I'm ttc#2 after a mmc at 8 weeks back in November. I feel like this cycle is the first one where things are back to normal, so I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed. Lots of DTD, but DH was away for one of my peak fertility days so I'm not entirely hopeful. I'm 6dpo and don't have a single symptom either way, and desperately resisting testing!

Good luck everyone who is testing today!

[Malteaser1982]

Oh bugger - where are the BFP???

We'll definately ttc next cycle i.e. if AF does show up her ugly face next fri/sat (or earlier by the looks of it). DD was supposed to be a dec baby (edd 10 Dec) but as she was not growing as she should have, I had an EMCS @ 37 weeks after being constantly monitired at hospital since 35 weeks. In fact, if we have conceived this month edd will be on her birthday!

[Malteaser1982]

Oh and London, I was soooo tempted to test this morning - even peed in my cup!! But resisted (and threw away the pee)

Welcome chick

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

morning ladies
we really do need some bfp on here hopefully that will start the ball rolling
I really thought af was showing last night migrane and cramping butility nothing as yet pains all gone.I'm still having very crazy random dreams


London when will you do another test did you order the ones from the net?
