AF due 26th Dec

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?

Haha nice treacle nice. Absolutely symptom less. Due28th or after. Bit of cramping but seriously I'm ignoring everything.
Had a glass of vino ladt night. Not v tasty but it wasn't agreat wine. Might abstain tonight but only because generally it messes my sleep up.

I'm convinced I'm not pg now so will have a drink or two tonight. Feel like AF is approaching too.

Got my AF this morning meaning a 35 day cycle this time instead of usual 30-31 that I have had since I came off the pill. I entered this on fertility friend and it's now showing loads of possible green days for next month instead of the usual three pale and one bright green for the predicted ovulation day. Is it just doing this as due to the long cycles it's no longer sure when I am ovulating? I am wondering if I should start temping to try to pin it down as I've just been going on the assumption that I would ovulate about 14 days before period is due.

treacle a hug for you....

Still waiting here but not due for another 3 days. Cramps stopped yesterday so feel I'm still in with a chance as no more pains at all last night or this morning. Also I don't look pre-menstrual at all which is really unusual.

To anybody still waiting to test best of luck. I'm going to test on the 28th because I threw my wine away last night; doesn't feel right and I want to know for New Years Eve!

Bfn with late morning sample on a FRER. Not due until 28th. Do you think there is still a chance?

Definitely still a chance, don't give up hope until AF arrives! :)
Could be late implantation or something.

I was absolutely positive I had implantation pains on Christmas Eve. They were really strong period pains but lower down than usual. They stopped completely sometime in the night. So in truth I suppose it is way too early to test 2 days later.

ADifferentKindOfMum · 27/12/2013 18:58

I tested with second morning sample and I THINK I have the faintest of faint lines. Its on a FRER but I'm keeping an open mind as i'm not due until tomorrow. It really was a squinter to be honest but I have compared it with yesterday's FRER which has nothing showing at all.

Doodlekitty · 27/12/2013 19:30

Doodlekitty · 27/12/2013 19:37

ADifferentKindOfMum · 27/12/2013 19:50

Yes treacle but this time I'll use the toilet trip I get up for at about 5am instead of the second one at 0730 ;)

Am crossing fingers.

Treaclepie19 · 27/12/2013 21:02

Eeeek! Fingers firmly crossed :)
Sounds positive!!!

Doodlekitty · 28/12/2013 05:27

Do we have 5am wee results yet? Sat here feeding pfb and wondering if another is such a good idea!

ADifferentKindOfMum · 28/12/2013 08:36

Got up about 4 times in the night but I've got a bfn.

I'm pretty sure that's it this month. No af but my boobs are massive as of yesterday. I thought I am due today although I ovulated on 16th so may be possibly due on 30th. Feel like I've hpt a cold too..achey headaches etc. Last month I had a 34 day cycle for no reason so I wonder if the same thing is happening.

Will report back glumly when af arrives but for now going to put down the sticks it's an expensive hobby :(

ADifferentKindOfMum · 28/12/2013 08:36

*got a cold

Oh noo :( sorry to hear that. Sounds like your symptoms could be promising though?

I agree that it's an expensive hobby. I've been buying OPK's ready for next month. Feels like another two week wait for AF to go and ovulation to start.
