I see a wee dot on the inverted one Blue I think that it is inconclusive and you should definitely wait before starting the AC just in case and do another test!

Oh and no hang over here! I only had 2 cocktails, I was very good. I know what you mean about the stress of research as well I'm trying to back off and be a bit more relaxed about it all. I'd love to suddenly realise that AF was due 2 weeks ago and never showed and that's the first hint I have that I might be pregnant.

Goldenhandshake · 14/06/2013 12:26

Blue not to get your hopes up but that is very similar to what I had with DD when the Dr tested me, the line was ever so faint but she said there were no false positives, give it a couple more days and test again in the morning please Grin and report straight back here.

blueamber · 14/06/2013 12:31

Thanks! I'm not getting my hopes up, but will definitely do another one in the morning. A different one as well, I've got some superdrugs ones.

What cocktails did you have disney? Every time I pick mint from the garden to give to the rabbits I fancy a Mojito, that's what I would have gone for Smile.

DisneyDiva87 · 14/06/2013 12:34

I had a strawberry daquiri which was delish! and then went for a Bacardi Sweetheart which sounded promising but should be renamed to something less appealing to match the taste YUCK! I do love a mojito (mojitos are the reason I have a wee mint plant in the living room) I should have just stuck with that.

Goldenhandshake · 14/06/2013 12:40

My only experience of a mojito was in Portugal and they put so much mint in I choked on a piece of, strangely enough I can't touch them now!

My fave cocktails are peach Bellini's, Sex on the Beach or a Woo Woo Basically anything that doesn't taste like actual alcohol.

DisneyDiva87 · 14/06/2013 12:44

Me too Golden and the sweeter the better. There is a restaurant here that does caipirinhas and it's just rum and sugar with a flavoured syrup (that bols stuff) but they are divine!

p.s. blue I'm dead excited about your test tomorrow! Keep us updated.

BNmum · 14/06/2013 14:38

Hi ladies, I'm super excited for you blue and hugely impatient for confirmation of your results. You MUST follow golden's instructions and report back here ASAP!

According to SMEP we should have dtd last night but I was so pooped I fell asleep before DH got to bed. I couldn't even pull myself together for a quickie this morning either! It feels like its been a long shagtastic month this month and I think I've just gotta try to kick back and relax for a couple of weeks or until af arrives.

I think I have very similar taste to you golden regarding drinks. If it doesn't taste like booze I like it.

Anything to report cristabell?

MushiMushi · 14/06/2013 15:08

Funny you should mention mojitos blueamber, I was lying in bed last night craving one, which is funny because I stopped drinking alcohol months ago and haven't even remotely missed it. Whether that's my first pregnancy symptom or I'm just starting to want things I know I can't have if I am pregnant, only time will tell, although I suspect the latter!

I'm just about to pop out to the shops, will be passing a Superdrug and trying very hard not to resist the temptation to grab a couple of tests...

DisneyDiva87 · 14/06/2013 15:12

M&S do a non-alcohol mojito drink Mushi if you are really craving it Smile I bought it once but added my own rum... They had pina colada too.

MushiMushi · 14/06/2013 15:48

No M&S near me but I'd prefer to make it myself anyway I think. I've already got mint, just need some limes and soda. Mmm! Ok I'm off to buy dinner, mojito supplies and pregnancy tests Grin

blueamber · 14/06/2013 16:39

ooh disney I did not know they made that, might give it a try. Or mushi how do you make your own? What kind of soda do you use? I really fancy a mojito now! Best one I had was in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic. A lazy day, at the river in a beautiful town, on a hot, sunny day... could do with that now Grin

Goldenhandshake · 14/06/2013 17:00

All this talk of coctails is making me thirsty! I really want an amaretto and cranberry now Grin

BN sounds like we ahve similar tastes, if it tastes like fizzy pop or fruity then I like it Smile

Goldenhandshake · 14/06/2013 17:01

Sorry for my appalling spelling, I have had the busiest week at work since I started here and am feeling frazzled. It is home time now but I have a few more things to do so that's not happening mumsnetting is not helping

shoegal84 · 14/06/2013 17:55

So I'm it's not just me with the increased libido! trying not to drink alot and all this talk of cocktails is making me crave them. Just back from an all inclusive holiday that included cocktails so I've probably had enough to last me. I love a good mojito or Strawberry daiquiri though!

Very exciting, wish I knew whether I could test or not, but think I have another couple of weeks. Time seems to be going so slowly. told hubby that we have a busy weekend planned with dtd though!

shoegal84 · 15/06/2013 09:53

has anyone had weird symptoms since coming off the pill. I was in the hairdressers last night after work and had been there about an hour or so before I went really hot. I got sweaty all over and went really light headed and felt as though I was going to pass out. I'd eaten regularly and drank loads of water. Not sure if it's a hormonal change from being off the pill or if it's the sort of sign you could get for pregnancy.

Any ideas?

blueamber · 15/06/2013 09:55

Hi peeps, it was a false result yesterday. I thought it would be so I'm not upset. I'll just keep trying. Luckily it's weekend, so plenty of time for that Smile

MushiMushi · 15/06/2013 12:34

Sorry to hear that blueamber.

Still, gives you a chance to make yourself some mojitos tonight? Wink You can just use soda water that you can get in bottles from the supermarket. Stick some mint leaves, sugar and lime wedges into the bottom of a glass and squish them together so all the juices mix together, fill the glass with ice, pour your rum over the ice, and fill with soda. Easy! You don't need to do exact measurements or anything, just adjust to taste. The best mojito I ever had was in Cuba. You can't get more authentic than that! Followed a close second by one I had at the Cafe del Mar watching the sun go down in Ibiza, it was made with golden rum and demerara sugar.

I need to snap out of this mojito obsession! Blush

DisneyDiva87 · 15/06/2013 13:54

Sorry blue Hmm

That's my AF over (I'm loving the 4 day Periods since coming off the pill!) So will have to get busy for the next 2 weeks Grin

missinternationallove985 · 15/06/2013 19:37

Hi BNmum. Sorry for the late reply. Yes I did seem my friend on Wednesday and Yesterday as well. xx

CristaBell · 16/06/2013 12:09

hello all, just to let you know af has arrived Sad

good luck to everyone else in 2ww.

BNmum · 16/06/2013 18:49

I'm REALLY sorry to hear that cristabell. I was convinced it was your month Sad xxxx

internationallove985 · 16/06/2013 18:51

Hi Crisabell Sorry A.F got you.xx

T.M.I here but here goes.... I have quite a bit of brown gloopy discharge. I came off my period Wed and last made love on Friday. Even if I have concieved surley it would be far too early for an inplantation bleed, so I don't know what's going on there. xx

internationallove985 · 16/06/2013 18:55

Oh btw I have dropped miss international 985 love to just international love 985 as someone on another thread shortened it to "Miss" and I didn't like it.
Int, inter, International, Love 985 or I.L are all fine though. xx

blueamber · 17/06/2013 09:14

Sorry for AF cristabell
international I don't know what it could be, sorry I'm not much of a help!

I'm really excited! I am now 'in the zone' as my DP calls it, or as I put it, I have all the signs that ov is imminent! Positive OPK and all kinds of body changes, cervical position, slight pain in side, bowel changes, sensitive nipples (sorry last two were tmi). Not much ewcm, but I'm not worried, as long as there is enough near the cervix it should be ok. But this is the first ov since stopping the pill 6 1/2 weeks ago, so I'm really happy things have started up again and I can properly start ttc now! Grin

MushiMushi · 17/06/2013 10:05

I just did a Boots early test, BFN. I think my period must be due on Thursday so it's still early days I suppose. I'm not feeling very optimistic though. I haven't had any symptoms at all.

Actually, now I'm starting to think lack of symptoms is a symptom (HA!), last cycle I noticed lots of PMT symptoms and thought to myself, the following month I'd probably mistake those for pregnancy symptoms.

I am really driving myself up the wall here and it's only the first month of trying. Confused
