LH I think that's a good idea to wait til nxt week....and besides that means you can test with me!!!! Yay!!!!

internationallove985 · 19/09/2013 12:42

Hi Mama. If you do FX get your B.F.P it will be interesting for you to compare both your pregnancies. I suppose whatever the gender though every pregnancy is different, because every child is different. I tell you what that's non something I'm looking forward to morning sickness if, erm no I'll be optimistic when I get my B.F.P. My pregnancy with D.D was a nightmare. I was sick right up until the night before I had her and why on earth do they call it morning sickness when it lasts all day. With my angel I was 6 weeks (4 weeks conception and I had stretch marks). xx

mama31 · 19/09/2013 12:46

Yes I think every pregnancy is different....really would love to enjoy it when it happens tho...without being too sick if pos! But ill take whatever happens!!

LH1981 · 19/09/2013 12:51

Mama, that'll be exciting!! Will def wait now, I know I'm being so OTT. I can be a bit obsessive about things. Actually, it will kind of be nice to (try to) not think about it for a bit. My OH is away practically all month next month so if not this month, then I can chill for a month, get back to 'normal' and then get back on the horse so to speak, in November.

What day are you testing? x

mama31 · 19/09/2013 13:05

LH I shouldn't really test til nxt Friday but will prob be tempted from wed I'd imagine! But gona try so hard to hold off as long as pos coz bfn is so awful :( the thing is I usually get spotting 4days prior to af and unless b6 has rectified this then ill know af is on her way from tue or wed if the spotting starts :/

internationallove985 · 19/09/2013 13:07

I don't know if these could be symptoms of if I'm over thinking it, but I'm embarrassed to admit I've erm not been the toilet for 4 days and I've been eating lots of fruit and fibre. and I have also had a head ache over the past few days. It's nothing major, just an annoying pain that lets me know it's there. x

Hey everyone, mind if I join in on the madness? Smile

I'm 23 DP is 22, we are TTC #1 cycle 1. Just some background, I stopped my BCP (cerazette) at the end of May and have myself a couple of cycles to get used to AF again. I'm currently CD 17 of my 28daycycle. I usually OV around day 12 but trying OPKs this month and it didn't show my peak OV time. I'm not used to doing the CM charting but going by what I've read on that I most likely OVd on CD 9-10 which would put me 7-8 DPO and in my 2ww.

I'm currently experiencing spotting from Monday to early Wednesday, nausea, frequent trips to the bathroom, intense headaches (possibly migraines) and cramps but since this is cycle #1I'm putting it down to late lonset consequences of stopping my pill since I had no problems when I actually did.

How is everyone? Smile

LH1981 · 19/09/2013 13:24

Mama, let's try to wait til Friday then - unless of course you get any signs of AF (hopefully not!!). Fingers crossed! x

Neurotic - welcome to the mad house. I'm new on this thread too and everyone has been really great. Hmm, your symptoms sound positive but you never can be sure - but doesn't sound like symptoms of the pill seeing as you came off it in May. Cerazette can be a bugger when you stop (I'm experiencing it at the moment!) but if you've had a couple of AFs since and didn't experience symptoms in the first few weeks of coming off it then looks like you are one of the lucky ones who just don't. Fingers crossed for you! x

lucyfluff · 19/09/2013 13:40

Hugs writer :( that sickness sounds awful. Could you get signed off work for a while?

I have always been lucky with sickness and only felt it, those nutragrain bars helped settle my tummy, they had slight taste of ginger so maybe that was it.

Welcome to all the newbies....I may tag along with you poas'ers next fri will be 11 dpo....:))

ELR · 19/09/2013 14:39

international I was constipated for a few days with a terrible headache about a week before I got my BFP with dd so could be symptoms but then again it could just be a coincidence!!
Just resisted the very intense urge to Poas but like this morning I haven't done it! But it's driving me mad!!

NeuroticSweetTalk · 19/09/2013 14:52

LH1981 Awh Hello fellow newbie Smile. See I thought it was all positive but I didn't think anything would happen so soon after OV? I thought it might be the lack of pill because I was on and off them for 4 years so I thought I'd messed myself up in the first place ha. Thanks, fingers crossed cerazette stops being a b*h to you Smile

m33r · 19/09/2013 15:41

Just catching up... International, I think that's def a symptom... ! Are you usually ... Erm ... 'Regular'?

m33r · 19/09/2013 15:44

Seems we're all due to poas next Friday. I think we should all WAIT. No early poas-ers! Be strong ladies! Who's with me?!? Anyone?!?

wispaxmas · 19/09/2013 15:54

I'm not waiting, and my reasoning is because if you are pregnant, the earlier you find our the shorter the 2ww becomes. Getting a BFN means nothing until AF comes, but getting a BFP at 9 or 10dpo just cuts down that horrible wait that much. And if you have internet cheapies it's barely a waste of money.

LH1981 · 19/09/2013 15:55

m33r - it's a deal! Grin

wispaxmas · 19/09/2013 15:55

I'm testing tomorrow at 9dpo, and will continue to test every day after until AF comes. Not expecting a bfp the next few days as I know the statistics as far as hcg levels, but even if there's a slim chance of a very faint line I would like to see it as soona s possible.

wispaxmas · 19/09/2013 15:56

Sorry, will also add that the tests I have a 10mIU, so the most sensitive you can get.

Writerwannabe83 · 19/09/2013 16:08

Yay Wispa!! That's my kind of attitude!! Grin
I loved testing every day sometimes twice a day because every day I had something really exciting to look forward to!!

Good luck!!

I think I started testing from 7dpo so you are still less crazy than me Grin

mama31 · 19/09/2013 16:08

Wispa I have those as well...which like you might make me test on tue (8dpo) or wed (9dpo) as I know my willpower is rubbish and as you say....they are so cheap its not a waste of money! But bfns are depressing :/ I'd like to hold off as long as I can but I know ill be itching to test from Monday which is just redic!!!

mama31 · 19/09/2013 16:09

Writer home many dpo did you get bfp???

mama31 · 19/09/2013 16:09

How many not home :/

ELR · 19/09/2013 16:10

Ooh wispa if you're testing so am I!! Will be 9/10 dPO tomorrow

m33r · 19/09/2013 16:22

Wispa and elr. Fx for you. If you get BFP it might break my resolve but I've had so many BFN and I'm not sure i can reason with myself to get past the no line even if I were expecting it.... Last month gilly had a tough one as she tested quite early and got a very light line which faded. She was pretty gutted. She coped so well but I think it would break me. Also don't want to tell hubby til it's a big dark glaring line and want to tell him as soon as I think rather than waiting for a darkening line. Good luck though guys. I hope you get the BFPs on this bus moving!

mama31 · 19/09/2013 16:23

ELR and Wispa! Do it!!! I need to see some bfps! Wish I could test so soon!!

Writerwannabe83 · 19/09/2013 16:31

I got my BFP on the afternoon that my period was due.

At the time I thought I was 12dpo but based on my dating scan and therefore estimated date of ovulation/conception, it was more like 15dpo.
