Thank you Drew. My mind is racing, no sleep for me tonight. Desperate to tell DP but he's working nights. Plus I sort of like the idea of only myself knowing for now. Aside from all of you haha.

DrewsWife · 09/04/2014 01:58

Went to work tonight and they wouldn't accept my resignation. Blush So seems like I'm stuck. Thinks I'm under a huge amount of pressure.

How can they refuse your resignation???

Congrats pickles, can def see it!!

DrewsWife · 09/04/2014 08:19

I am quietly looking for something else. Refusing to do extra hours. Screw that. I'm going on a craft weekend on Friday down to Rochdale. And only 4 weeks til Malta. I just need to get through.

Congrats pickles!

I'm out for April. Took test this morning (day 34) negative of course, then AF decided to arrive several hours later. Waste of a test again! Oh well.

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 15:47

Congrats Pickles! !! Grin

Aw thats pants Biscuits.... May will be the month! Smile

Drew - yeah just keep your head down, no favours and keep looking for something better. Smile

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 15:53

I'm on cd 21 (or 22 depending on which app I look at!). More importantly I'm 9 dpo. I have no symptoms of pregnancy. But it's too early right? Confused

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 15:53

My cycles are pretty much 28/29 days.

RPopz · 09/04/2014 17:20

Too early!! Think 10dpo is the earliest, so don't torture yourself!

Omg I'm only cd8 and already worrying about tww....

wiltingfast · 09/04/2014 18:00

congrats pickles! great to see a bfp Grin

just realised i'm cd11 and have totally forgotten to do my new opk, it's not too late is it? never used it before... how do you count the cds again, cd 1 is first day of af yes? hmmm... confused!

Work sounds crap Drew, at least you have a break to look forward to?

Am with RPoz on trying not to torture yourselfs toothachereturns but we all know it's hard Grin

DrewsWife · 09/04/2014 18:32

Ok so I am not testing as I don't think this is the month for me.... But if I should start symptom spotting... I am 10 days post ovulation and due AF in a week is that right???

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 18:39

Drewswife - you and I are almost in sync! Grin

DrewsWife · 09/04/2014 19:05

When are you testing? I haven't had any of my usual mid cycle bleeds. Blush So not sure whether that's good or bad.

OP posts:
toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 19:28

I'm going to test on Friday I think. With dd I got a positive at 11dpo.

Maybe having no mid cycle bleed is a sign! I suppose any change in cycle could be good news. Smile

sooperdooper · 09/04/2014 19:31

I'm 4 days late, but just did a test and negative..... Grr been really regular lately too, hmmmm

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 20:05

Aw sooper. Might still be pg?

RPopz · 09/04/2014 21:47

Fx sooper and drew! X

sooperdooper · 09/04/2014 21:51

I'll leave it a couple of days and try again, is it really best to test in the morning? I did it when I got home this evening, god I'm such an amateur, I don't know what I'm doing!! I don't even know what all the abbreviations everyone's using mean?? Grin

RPopz · 09/04/2014 22:19

Better to do in the morning as your urine will be most concentrated.

Think there's a glossary for the mumsnet abbreviations somewhere! You just pick them up as you go along though!
