Nope bfn....think it was a did anyway, was pink underneath till halfway.

Only 2ics left & £shop x1

No more testing now, waiting for AF....if I get to Wednesday then I'll test. Wed would b cd33/16dpo which isn't that bad really. Just me expecting another 27 day cycle. I just want it that badly! X

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 22:14

Well after reading your post about ICs not being very sensitive/reliable I had a look st the amazon reviews. Even some of the good reviews say they only show a positive on the day of AF or after. Thinking of getting a frer tomorrow. But then another part of me thinks if I am pg just waiting longer won't make it less true.

I'm now CD 30. As I came off the pill in Oct my cycles aren't necessarily back to regular yet. Last complete cycle was 33 days but that's the only thing to go on.

Wishing you all the good BFP karma in the world. X

Ahh this thread moves so quickly overnight! Smile

Sounds like I'm not the only one in the 2ww - 8dpo today and using all my will power not to start poas! Temp has shot back up today after the dip yesterday... So I'm thinking that's a good sign of implantation? Who knows, first cycle so I have nothing to compare it to!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/02/2014 23:06

You may have released 2 eggs smor'.

I'm gonna test wed too bellaboo, that's if AF doesn't get me first, feeling crampy already....

Jo178 · 01/02/2014 23:11

I've had no willpower and tested twice today though only with ics! Both bfn. Hmm Feeling horrid, crampy, nauseous and the weird spotting has continued on and off but only really watery brown. CD32, 12dpo.

Treaclepie19 · 01/02/2014 23:12

Good luck everyone testing!

I am already symptom spotting and only around 4dpo.
Exhausted and got terrible hip/back pain :( feel sock also. Hope I'm not getting ill!

bellaboo88 · 01/02/2014 23:18

Pebble, I dernt buy a good one till I'm sure. What pill was you on?

Last month was my first off, that's why I'm going by 27days &short lp. I never remember it being longer than 28 days. Pill give me mid cycle bleeding every month, was on mycrogynon.

Hope they're God signs Jo x

Hey guys, hope everybody is good. Am 2 days late now so is looking more promising but no symptoms except some light cramping (which could be AF). Don't want to POAS and burst my bubble as it should show by now if I were wouldn't it? X

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 23:37

Was on microgynon for 9.5 years then cerazette for 3 months.

It's so long ago I can't remember what my normal periods were like before the pill. I think they were quite long but never tracked them. Who knew that ttc could be difficult? We were always told over and over how f*ing easy it was to fall pregnant. I even bought the morning after pill for £20 once, feel pretty stupid now. Those pharmacies must be laughing all the way to the bank!

I should really hold out until Tues/wed as that's when I think AF is due.

pebble82 · 01/02/2014 23:40

MrsF I've been reading loads of stories online (stupid I know) and it can depend on the person. I reckon you're in with a good chance. Get a decent test and go for it. We'll be here for some virtual hand holding. X

Gingerbreadlady1 · 01/02/2014 23:45

Go for it mrsF, let us know how it goes, good luck!

RetroHippy · 02/02/2014 00:09

Pebble I've just done dry Jan too! Was looking forward to a glass of vino but ended up going out. Volunteered to drive so ended up having half a lager. . I'd better be pg to make it worthwhile!

Anyone know if ovulating early results in a short cycle? Noticing lots of the 11/12 dpo crew are on CD 30ish. I got a positive OPK on CD 12, so still only on day 25.

Hearing the stuff about the ics make me want to crack out my spare Tesco test. No idea how sensitive they are though, so may save it for Tuesday. Thinking about it, my SIL said she didn't get a bfp with the ics for ages... Totally worth the £3 to give me something to do for the last week though Grin

Zermatt · 02/02/2014 02:28

Good luck to all those poas today :) x

spinningirl10 · 02/02/2014 07:35

Morning allGrin

Wow it looks like there's quite a few of us in the 2ww!!! I'm only on 6 dpo.....good luck to those of you poas soonGrin

I just feel that AF is far less disappointing than a BFN. Did a test on Tues and BFN and convinced myself that I'd had another unlucky month, so now don't want to get too excited again. Mentioned to DH that I was late and he suggested I should wait til at least a week (though arguably what do men know!). Consequently laying in bed needing a wee!

Zermatt · 02/02/2014 08:02

How regular is your cycle usually MrsF? I can understand why you don't want to test yet and burst your bubble if it's negative, but it does Lund very promising, maybe test tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive today, fingers crossed for you :)

RetroHippy · 02/02/2014 08:03

Ladies. I'm sat here with last nights pee stick. I think it has the faintest line ever! So I'm waiting for this morning's test with fmu hoping it's not just dodgy morning eyes...

I don't think it'll even show on a photo so I can't get your opinion!

RetroHippy · 02/02/2014 08:08

And I know you're not supposed to use a test after 10 minutes, but I've done enough of these things that I know it's not an evap line...

Should I splash out on a FRER when the shops open? Are they as sensitive as the ics?

Hi zermatt, it's hard to know as was on the pill for 11 yrs. I remember my cycle being quite regular - I never had any ridiculous 33+ days before the age of 16. Came off in Nov and think I had a 28/29 day cycle then last month was 28/29 days so if the last 2 cycles are anything to go by, then I am regular.

So am now at 31 days...

I have 4 hpts in the house. 2 basic ones but you would need to piac or 2 clearblue digi. Feeling a bit sick as I know I should do it!!!

Good luck Retro! X

All the very best Mrs F, that sounds extra promising and hope you get your BFP today or tomorrow x

Well I've undone the plastic wrapping - it's a start!!!
Well I probably ought to pee unless I want a water infection - stomach hurts now!!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/02/2014 08:16

I have chosen to POAS! Bloody egg timer is till showing!

Zermatt · 02/02/2014 08:21

Psst what does frer mean?

RetroHippy · 02/02/2014 08:22

Nothing on the IC this morning, but last nights was sooo faint it might not show till it's dried out completely. God, I'm shaking! I've daydreamed about this for so long it's like there's no way it can possibly be real.

Fx for you MrsF!
