I am going mad,

Cycle 2 and AF due on Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday depending on what chart you go by!!

Anyone got any ideas of how to pass the time whilst waiting to POAS??

Also, anyone else had enflamed nasal passages as a pregnancy symptom??

Madness over and out.......

Charting has worked for lots of my friends Romann. I'm too lazy to be bothered with a thermometor before I've even woken up properly!

I'm sorry for your loss Measure. I hope this month will be lucky for you.

My symptoms now include heartburn and dizziness. Both cured by eating a big doughnut Grin I'm going to hold off testing until Sunday if I possibly can....

Tigglettchic · 21/05/2013 19:50

Hi all!! I'm due af on Monday but i caved this morning and POAS of course it was a bfn ... That should teach me for being impatient!

Good luck ladies - I hope we all get to reportback here with bfp's

NotSoSuper · 21/05/2013 21:07

Hi hungry
Oh attilas those symptoms sound promising!
I'm going to try and hold of until Saturday to test, not feeling hopeful though. Anyone else not having any symptoms?
Might take a look at that website romann if I do get a bfn this month

Beccadugs · 21/05/2013 22:18

Hi all, I am going to test Saturday (probably said this before!!)

I'm not sure if I am having symptoms, or this is me normally, or if I am imagining it, but: feel sick, bloated, gassy thirsty, and weird mouth tast.

Had to google "what does bloating feel like" earlier Blush as I've never had/paid attention to this feeling before...

Tigglettchic · 21/05/2013 22:18

where do u buy your magic themometer thingy from?? guessing it has to be super precise??

OP posts:
Romann · 22/05/2013 07:39

I don't have a very precise thermometer but I do think it would be worth getting one. You could look for a basal body temperature one, with 2 decimal points. If I was in the UK I'd ask at Boots or buy it from Amazon or something (no idea why they deliver books abroad, but not pregnancy tests or thermometers Confused ).

Pudgy2011 · 22/05/2013 19:13

Balls. I caved and just POAS - negative but not unexpected. Far too early, am only 9 dpo, not due until Monday!

Definitely going to wait it out now until the weekend but the intermittent nausea is throwing me off. Probably remnant of the bug I had for the last few days but it's very unnerving!

Tigglettchic · 22/05/2013 19:45

happy waiting. i got despondent after my bfn on monday but i will now wait. i am just dreading getting my af!

OP posts:
NotSoSuper · 22/05/2013 20:33

I got my pregnancy tests I ordered from amazon this morning so it's going to take all the will power I've got not to POAS till at least Friday or Saturday! Argh the days are going by far to slowly!!

attilascupcakes · 23/05/2013 11:18

They are! I am 10 dpo today, which was the day I got my bfp with DD. I must try and wait, and not waste a fiver by peeing too early! Grin

NotSoSuper · 23/05/2013 13:37

Well I've started getting cramp so think af is def on it's way Sad trying not to be too disappointed.
When we decided to try last time we got our bfp on the first month. Think I'd convinced myself the same would happen this time because I just want to be pregnant again so badly.
Sorry for going on just don't have many people to talk to in rl as had only told a few people about my pregnancy before the miscarriage and trying to keep a brave face.

Romann · 23/05/2013 15:47

Early pregnancy can feel like AF super so it might still be ok. I don't feel in the least bit pg, with AF due Sunday. I'm thinking of poas tomorrow morning, but at the same time it seems daft to waste ?8 just to get AF 2 days later Confused and a bfn is meaningless until AF late anyway.

Beccadugs · 23/05/2013 16:39

I am feeling exactly the same super so clinging desperately to Romann's point!

I am driving myself nuts with symptom spotting. Headaches and nausea today...

Tigglettchic · 23/05/2013 20:22

we are nutty but i am pleased we hav each other!! i am sick of spotting symptoms asi cant remember whether i used to pee this much!!!

the brain is a curios item!!

OP posts:
NotSoSuper · 23/05/2013 20:55

It's so nice to know it's not just me that is driving myself crazy!
Still not a clue whats going on with me so will cling to romann's point for a little bit of hope but we shall see.
tiggle it sure is. Wish mine had an off switch sometimes!

attilascupcakes · 24/05/2013 14:27

Another crazy one here. I'm so sick of symptom spotting. I just want to know now but at the same time I don't want to poas and get a negative. I'm seriously driving myself round the bend!

NotSoSuper · 24/05/2013 14:37

No more symptom spotting for me this month af has shown up a day early. Was expecting it but still so disappointed. Still keeping my fingers crossed for everyone to get their bfp though!

Beccadugs · 24/05/2013 17:34

Ah poo super I'm sorry AF got you.

Tigglettchic · 24/05/2013 19:32

sorry super, better luck next month xx

NotSoSuper · 24/05/2013 20:12

Thanks becca & tiggle x will just need to try even harder this cycle!
So when is everyone else testing so we can hopefully get some good news on here.

Tigglettchic · 24/05/2013 20:23

i am testing tomorrow. got bfn on monday but was only day 29 of usual 31 day cycle. am not day 34 and got nipples of fire!!! no other signs of af

excited but reticent as dont want bfn!!

OP posts:
Beccadugs · 24/05/2013 21:16

My app says AF due tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I ovulated on 13th, which, with my usual luteal phase means AF should actually arrive on Monday. Going to try to hold off until at least then... (Desperate to POAS though!)

Romann · 24/05/2013 21:39

Sorry about that super

I'm due AF on Sunday. I'm pretty sure I can feel it coming on, but I'll test on Monday if it doesn't show.

Test manufacturers must have made a killing out of early response tests. I bet the vast majority are used by women who go on to get AF anyway. Let's not be part of the gullible crowd lining their pockets!

Tigglettchic · 24/05/2013 22:18

maybe they collude with tampax!!
