Well this is me from this morning:
www.canyouseealine.com/view_home_pregnancy_test.php?method=invert&testID=54405

I think I can see a line if you invert it, but it's so faint, it might just be my eyes/in my head! This is mad now, I'm 4-5 days late!

ohlordyplordy · 25/08/2014 09:47

Thanks for updating the stats katy - still lots of maybe babies!

Katybear123 · 25/08/2014 09:49

Sure r ohlordy it's headed towards u soon isn't it. I have all crossed. Mrs g I'm sorry I'm defo no expert on these so not sure I can help

bubalou · 25/08/2014 10:21

Ok update - just went to loo to find the beginning of AF - 3 days early.

Maybe because my last cycle was such a mess it's all evening itself out.

Oh well. I'm over to the September bus.

Good luck to all waiting for bfps!!!! Smile

teeniedeenie34 · 25/08/2014 10:25

Firstly, a massive congratulations to all the BFP's over the past few days, amazing news and am thrilled there have been so many! Smile

Little update from me... CD30, still no AF but also any symptoms I was having abdominal pains, sore nipples, lower back pain have also gone. No idea what's going on but as it's my first cycle after bc pill I hoped everything (my cycles) would just fall back into place, however I also kind of expected it might take a while... Oh well, nothing else for it to just keep plodding along and dtd every other day until AF arrives...

Katybear you hang in there, can very much understand how you're felling at the moment but have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

On another note, are the cheapy dipstick type pregnancy tests a waste of time if you are testing around the time your period is due? Would I be better with a FRER?

Just checking in to see how the last BFP August stretch is going to go. Congratulations Kitty! And all the others who got their BFP over the last week.

A great bus!

fififolle · 25/08/2014 10:56

Katy thanks for updating the stats, v exciting to see that I've joined the ever growing BFP list.
My boob are getting bigger each day so it sounds like a good sign for you, will keep fx.
Lordy dull ache/ low abdominal tenderness sounds like a good sign.
Ma why not try a supermarket own brand test? They tend to be quite sensitive and maybe easier to read that tinternet ones.
Buba have a glass of wine to drown that evil witch... and get ordering OPKs on amazon! Smile
Teenie sounding like good symptoms- keep us up dated.

dinodiva · 25/08/2014 11:00

Af arrived for me this morning, so I'm off to the September bus. Congratulations on the BFPs!

OrangutanThang · 25/08/2014 11:55

Hi I've slipped off the stats, would you mind adding me back in? :)

OrangutanThang - ttc#1, cycle 4, bfp/af due on 31st August.

I'm 6/7 dpo and no real symptoms other than a few shooting tickling pains.

This is the first cycle I've totally given up alcohol during the ttw so if af comes over the next week or so I will treat myself with a nice glass or two of wine.

Desparately want to try a frer but it's probably pointless this early, esp without any symptoms...

Congratulations again to the people who have had bfp's over the weekend, I am relatively new to the thread but it's motivating to see such good news :)

Thanks tennie and fifo, I'll stick it out. I reckon af might be on its way today feel a bit down and sore abs and boobs like u do pre af. To be honest as long as something happens I am now more than fine about it :-)

Updated stats with u on orangutan to follow :-)

teeniedeenie34 · 25/08/2014 12:13

Can you also add me as I seemed to have dropped off as well. Thanks katybear!

Katybear123 · 25/08/2014 12:13

Katy have you tested at all? , and when did you stop the pill? X

bubalou · 25/08/2014 18:20

Ok so af not here yet Confused

Too much information but I had a bit of light pink blood when I wiped earlier and nothing since.

I'm certain af is on the way (stomach cramp) but I wish the witch would just hurry up so I could get it over with and start ttc again!!!

Hmm
Katybear123 · 25/08/2014 18:36

Hi sunbathing, completely understand u testing in ur shoes I would do the same. If I ovulated late along with u I will only b 9dpo so will still b to early I think but since I really don't know what has happened and we have a party on sat I think id rather try and know. I wish u loads of luck sunbathing.

Angelham, yep tested on fri cd 27, bfn I'm now on cd30. No sign of anything at all. Was convinced I ovulated cd 13-15 based on cramps. However got more cramps later in cycle about cd 20, and then had cramps again cd23 and ewcm and then cd26 and ewcm. I haven't had this before so maybe that was me ovulating. I don't temp or opk yet as this is only cycle 3 and was going to start next cycle if I ever get there!! Came off pill in May, and had one v long cycle 51 days, then cycle 2 25 days and cycle 3 30 days and counting!!!

Katybear123 · 25/08/2014 18:39

Babalou sorry to hear ur being messed about to, grrrr
