AF due 26th Dec

Treaclepie19 · 19/12/2013 19:46

AF due on 26th Dec, trying my hardest not to think about testing, especially since we weren't meant to be trying this month!
I have a ridiculous supply of tests upstairs and so wanting to test on saturday even though I know it's too early.
Not sure why I'm posting as nobody can help, just need to vent!

Anyone in the same boat?

Hi Treacle, AF due 25th for me, going to try and hold off testing until Tuesday but it'll be tricky. Smile

Treaclepie19 · 19/12/2013 20:15

You're doing better than me Boosk haha.
I'm going out on Saturday night with the family so not sure what to do about having a drink. I'm imagining all sorts of symptoms though already...

I will join you both in waiting! I am due AF on the 23rd. Going to try and hold off testing at least until then. Whether I manage to or not is another story!

Treaclepie19 · 19/12/2013 20:41

threebee It's so tempting isn't it :P
Counting down the days isn't good either as I finish work tomrrow for the holiday so trying not to wish it away.

Me too, due on the 26th. For no logical reason at all I did a test today and of course BFN. Such an idiot for doing it.

When do you think should test again?

Treaclepie19 · 19/12/2013 22:20

Aww Shelter
Don't beat yourself up. I nearly did one earlier.
I'm testing Sat with a FRER :)

Tests arrived with my online shopping last night, soooo tempting but they are not early ones. Waiting for a batch of cheapies to arrive and keep re-evaluating when I might start. Still too early though. Smile

Treaclepie19 · 20/12/2013 16:09

You're very restrained Boosk haha. Been having cramps and today a bit of brown cm so wondering if thats a good sign...
Will at least wait til tomorrow with a FRER :p

can i join?! (i think) im due AF on the 28th, had my coil out last month so not sure if what i had a few days after was my official af or not! - but stupidly bought some cheapies which worked out at 10p a go so am testing pretty much every other day and thats trying to hold myself off! got some first response tests on their way in the post which i plan to use christmas eve but im expecting a negative so no idea why im putting myself through it!

Treaclepie19 · 20/12/2013 16:46

Course you can :)
I know, it is just so tempting!
I am testing tomorrow despite expecting BFN. Why do we do it to ourselves? :p

OP posts:
Boosk · 21/12/2013 08:09

My ICs arrived yesterday and I want to pee on them.

I too had cramping yesterday, was like mild period pain all evening. Must wait, must wait...

Treaclepie19 · 21/12/2013 08:13

Ugh well I P(eed)OAS this morning and BFN. I know its early so theres a chance its not right but resigned to not pregnant now and wondering whether to just drink at this party tonight.

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 21/12/2013 08:14

Also (message sent too early) POAS Boosk! :p

toots123 · 21/12/2013 09:01

Hello all! Can I join you?
First cycle so no idea when af is due. Ov'd on 16/17th so hoping to test around 29th if no af!

Already having to tell myself no! Loads of ic's so its hard not to! :(

Treaclepie19 · 21/12/2013 09:43

Hiya toots :)
Course you can. Im starting to think I'm not on the december bus after that BFN though.

What is everyone doing about Christmas drinking?

OP posts:
toots123 · 21/12/2013 09:47

Your not out yet treacle :)

I wont have a bfp before Christmas anyway so just going to have a few glasses of wine. Ive been cutting back on drinking since we started trying anyway so people wont notice.
having Christmas dinner at the in laws this year and even if I was drunk, they will all be worse than me haha

ReginaFelange22 · 21/12/2013 09:52

I'm due on the 26th too!! I just mentioned on another thread, I have no tests in the house and have so much to do pre-Xmas I haven't even thought about testing tbh! Well I have but not gone and bought tests.

I don't want to test without my OH being home either so I have to wait lol!!

Anyone got any symptoms?

Treaclepie19 · 21/12/2013 09:56

Thanks toots, you're right :)
Haha yeah, I'm driving half the day so will just have a bit at my moms.
Hi Regina :)

Little bit of brown cm yesterday
Wind (sorry)
Cramps
Tiredness! (but been busy at work)
Moodswings (not much new there)

kmini · 21/12/2013 10:20

I'm 26th too! Holding tight on the poas, trying to keep the hope alive a little longer.

Treacle I think its still too early so keep the faith. Symptoms sound great.

ReginaFelange22 · 21/12/2013 11:11

Ha treacle sounds like me! What cycles are we all on? I'm just second after coming off the pill. Body went crazy last month, put it down to ovulating. Felt lightheaded, sick, thumping headache and pains in my stomach! Was not good. Fine this month though lol! x

Treaclepie19 · 21/12/2013 11:52

Hi kmini :)
You're right :) Weill try and keep positive!
When are we all going to POAS? We could have a Christmas day club :P

Regina this is my first cycle and to be honest we weren't meant to be starting until January... Whoops :P

OP posts:
threebee · 21/12/2013 12:13

I'm 12dpo today and still holding out, as I am not very hopeful! I think I'll probably only test if my temps stay up until Monday, when I'm due on. Not a lot to report in the way of symptoms here. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

Treaclepie19 · 21/12/2013 12:31

Well done threebee, remember lots of people don't experience symptoms!
Fingers crossed for us all! :)

Boosk · 21/12/2013 13:00

I'm cycle 1 of ttc no 1 and am 8dpo.

Sore boobs (normal for me pre-af)
Mild cramping yesterday and today, like period pain but no where near as bad.
Didn't know about the feeling full quickly when eating. I did struggle to finish my breakfast this morning and then a couple of hours later I still felt too full but also hungry. Weird.

Princesscrystalx · 21/12/2013 14:52
