Wispax, I googled achey thighs when I got it this month and the Posts I read said in no uncertain terms that it wasn't a symptom. I think it def is for me though (had stomach aches like from crunches at the same time) as both months I had done no exercise at all and a few days later had BFPs.

I'm supposed to be on September bus too but I keep coming back as I love reading about all the bfps!! I have lots of symptoms that I could make fit with pregnancy or anything else really for that matter! I'm so tired but that's probably as I'm off work doing not much at all! I'm also really bad at working out the difference between abdominal pains, sometimes I just think I'm hungry/bored!!
Happy long weekend all :) :) :)

I think you should whip out a digi as well gilly. It won't be a waste cause you've been getting positives on the cheapies so even if the digi is negative at least it will put your mind at rest. Although that would be the most annoying (understatement) thing ever!

I didn't even get a hint of a line on my test his morning except the one I imagined but then I'm only 7dpo or thereabouts.

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 10:42

hmmm what should I do girls? Go buy a cb digi and POAS in the morning (CD31) or should I wait a few more days.... tried last wed n it was a bfn with an ic.

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 10:48

Ooh, it's all go on here! Wish I could put my 'symptoms' down to something but am only 4/5 dpo :( I have a raised temperature (or I feel hot in my core all the time) and feel sick.

MrsB2013 · 24/08/2013 11:00

Gilly I also think you should go for a digi!

I poas this morning for the first time ever and it was bfn. First month off the pill so not really expecting anything to happen yet

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 24/08/2013 11:09

gilly something is happening for you this month. I hope it develops into a proper bfp but either way I think it's promising. Your hormones could be all disrupted by the nightshifts so maybe now they're done you might get a good line.

rocky how long are your cycles usually?

Bloumermaid · 24/08/2013 11:14

m33r hang in there! I'm sure it must be really frustrating but it sounds like you're doing all the right things. It must be extra hard having long cycles. How long are they? Are they at all predictable? Are you using opks or charting your cycle in any way?
Keep your chin up hon Flowers

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 11:33

The last 6 or so have been 28 on the dot. However before that I was probably 30 to 32!

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 24/08/2013 12:11

I am impatient so would probably digi rocky! However, if I totted up what I've spent on pregnancy tests over the last three months I could have bought some really nice shoes...and I'd still be pregnant!

rockyroller123 · 24/08/2013 12:20

Haha I like your thinking jelly! Im gunna try hold off until Tuesday. Hopefully Af will stay away!

Writerwannabe83 · 24/08/2013 12:29

Gilly - how strange and confusing!!!

I hope you're at a Supermarket and buying a Clear Blue.... Grin

wispaxmas · 24/08/2013 12:35

So much for achy thighs being a good sign. I really need to follow my own advice and stop symptom spotting and wishful thinking, if it happened it happened and if not there's nothing to do about it (yet).

JellyBeanDavey · 24/08/2013 13:21

I have had an achey tummy all weeks just a dull ache though. And just now (on my lunch) I had to stop eating my lunch cos I didn't want to eat and felt a little light headed. Weird.

I'm only 7dpo. I'm going to test Monday but I have my doubts. I'm actually scared to test.

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 13:46

Jelly - I'm scared too because I just know I'm gonna be gutted

internationallove985 · 24/08/2013 14:02

Hi Vjones I'm not going to tell you not get dis heartened if you do get a B.F.N this month. God there's no-one worse than me when the witch arrives and yes it sounds terrible but I get fed up saying congratulations to all the B.F.P's. Infact my last A.F I didn't go near the conception thread as I felt like I was the only one who people were not congratulating (the only one with a B.F.N). I know that's not the case but on my period my thoughts are far from rational. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, xx
Jelly bean Davey. I'll also keep my fingers crossed for you. xx

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 14:12

International - I know exactly how you feel. I get fed up too and I wish I didn't feel that way but I do. I did all I possibly could to conceive this month so if it doesn't work, the realisation that this truly is beyond my control is going to hit hard.

Daisychain44 · 24/08/2013 15:14

jellybeandavey I 'm testing Monday too and scared as every month I've caved in and tested, AF arrives the same freaking day!

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 15:23

I can't test till next weekend! Feels ages away!

Nulanoo · 24/08/2013 16:55

Clear blue digital tests only £7.50 in asda today :)

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 16:56

Ha ha, can just imagine a stampede of women running to Asda now ;)

Writerwannabe83 · 24/08/2013 17:06

Is anyone else getting desperately impatient for Gilly to come back with another uploaded image of her latest test?? Grin x

Beautifulboy1 · 24/08/2013 17:18

Hi ladies, why we wait for Gilly
(who I must say has everybody on the edge of their seat) please would you help me with a dilemma, since my af has come back following having DS my cycle has been 24 days, I have been doing ovulation kits all month including IC and CB, today I had a second line, slightly fainter but very visable, my af is due Monday?! any thoughts? ideas? HELP!

Beautifulboy1 · 24/08/2013 17:19

confused why I would have appositive OPK just over 1 day before af arrives

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 17:21

LH is always present in the body so it could just have picked that up today. Or, you may not have actually ovulated the first time you had an LH surge and so your body is now trying again, but obviously this would make your cycle a lot longer this month.
