Coffeeone, I see your question from last night regarding symptoms. I have been pregnant 3 times and have 2dc. With all of my bfp's my first symptom has been peeing a lot! This was how I knew I was pregnant with the last 2 bfp's, even before poas I knew i was pregnant. Because of that I always hope to pee more later in my cycle Grin

Its so hard isn't it, POAS is addictive but then getting a bfn is so upsetting.

I'm going to wait it out as long as possible. FF says I can test on Sat/sun (when I'll be 11/12dpo) but that is only cycle day 23/24 and my cycles are normally 27 days at least. Not sure why its suggesting that, but maybe because I ovulated quite early.

spinningirl10 · 09/10/2014 08:45

Jackie, 12dpo is a good time to start poas but I know how hard it is to refrain until then especially if you have a stash of ic's Grin

On the subject of testing early, how early do you think Is too early? By my calculation AF is due Monday but my FF a app says to poas in 6 days!? Wondering if this mornings Bfn was just too early. Either way I'm not testing until next week now!

spinningirl10 · 09/10/2014 08:53

Ceds it could be too early. Implantation usually happens from about 9dpo but it can be later and then you have to wait for levels to rise to show in an hpt. You're not out till af arrives.

fredsmum01 · 09/10/2014 08:53

I think Im going to leave it now until AF due date, its silly what your brain makes you do!

Good luck to everyone testing today, or over next few days we need some more BFPs this bus has gone too quiet

ceds86 · 09/10/2014 09:11

Ok resolution not to poas until next Wednesday morning: by which I'll be 2 days late! Serious willpower needed! Means another weekend in limbo with 'do I/don't I drink!!'

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/10/2014 09:29

I think I was the second one to try soy? Kitty being the first. I love that your dp knows MrsE. That's really funny. I'd kept you all a bit of a secret, but I often got questioned what I was smiling at on my phone. He actually thought I was having an affair at one point. So we are driving along and he said, soooo are you going to tell me about these penis dragons then? I roared with laughter. The June an thread is still a bit quiet. It would be so lovely to see a few more familiar faces on there. Everyone is a bit understandably cautious but I miss the laughs on the buses so obviously I have to pop on, but my goodness you chatter and I think I keep missing bits. Come on ladies I'm determined you will get some more bfps soon.

Jackiebrambles · 09/10/2014 09:31

Well Ceds wrongly or rightly I do drink in the tww.

It’s not as if I drink a lot (I have a toddler so it’s not as if I’m ‘out’ exactly much, plus I’m up at 7am looking after him!) but I will have a glass or two of wine or cider if I want.

I had got into the habit of having a glass of wine most nights with/after dinner. It’s a nice treat once he’s asleep!

But I worried it was too much when TTC so I’m not having it every night now, just every other night instead!

I’m more concerned about my caffeine intake! If I remember correctly when you are pregnant its best to have a max of 2 cups of tea or coffee a day. I am having at least 4 a day….

spinningirl10 · 09/10/2014 09:41

Haha MrsE I didn't say a lot about here in the early days and I thought he'd laugh when I told him about you cos I told him I'd miss you which I'm aware sounds totally nuts when I haven't met you. But dp was really sweet about it and said I'd be able to join you soon enough when I get my bfp Grin

We will indeed miss mrsE i told dh about mn. He is a big forumer. He often asks if i have read any tips recently.

Sorry for those that have had af or bfn's. We have not had a bfp days...what is going on!

TheProofIsInThePudding · 09/10/2014 10:03

Blueberry about a gazillion pages ago you said sorry for everything you write sounding depressing. It sounds like you're having a really tough time at the moment. Maybe you need to go to your GP and have a chat about how everything is making you feel as well as the physical side of things. If you've been feeling hopeless and despondent for a few weeks and you think that the light at the end of the tunnel is more likely to be a freight train, then it might be time to get help. Good luck!

5DPO and time is passing so slowly! I keep noticing tingling nipples and assume it must be a symptom, but I'm probably imagining it!

Jumping aboard ladies x

Aprilray · 09/10/2014 10:15

Thanks Genni, Spinning, Sparkle, GrandhighWitch and Boosk. Feeling lots better today. Lucie, that book looks really good, thanks for the tip. I really hope it is a case of 3rd time lucky with your DHs analysis- sounds like going to a different clinic is a good plan.

ceds86 · 09/10/2014 10:28

Jackie it's good to know that others do aswell. Had a day off on Tuesday and really fancied a glass so I thought 'why not, this time next week I may not be able to' I think until you get that BFP there's no point totally punishing yourself - just no jagerbombs and falling over perhaps! haha

Spaceboundeminem · 09/10/2014 10:46

I am very impatient I am only only cd5 and I want to hurry up so I can start dtd like mad!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 09/10/2014 11:02

My DH knows all about my mn obsession and a fair amount about quite a few of you! Lol! I've also had to explain the whole penis dragon thing too!
MrsE stay with us as long as you want..!! Smile
I don't think I'll join the an threads until I've had my 12 week scan. They all make me paranoid if I'm not feeling the exact same - which of course i didn't because my pg's haven't lasted. And then I have to leave. So I've decided I'll join when I'm safe and then hope they'll accept the late arrival!

Blue500 · 09/10/2014 11:32

Spacebound me too - cd4 and I can't wait to get going with opk next week!

butterflycats · 09/10/2014 11:33

Well day 37 of cycle today, no period and bfn :( feeling a tad fed up and emotional now. Last cycle was 37 days and was hoping this one would be shorter. So I'll be on the November bus!

Jessica85 · 09/10/2014 11:35

Hi all! Sorry I've been away so long, I've been unsuccessfully trying to keep my mind of ttc. Will catch up on the thread, but in the mean time I've been symptom spotting (TMI alert): constipation and loads of CM. I'm now 9dpo, so testing again with an IC in the morning. I've got myself into a nice little routine - poas, shower, read result.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 09/10/2014 11:39

I have wine in tww too! Don't know how long it will be to bfp and also read and herd on radio hat no damage is done for a while anyway as the pack of cells won't be getting blood from the mum til few weeks down the line. Could be
Months til a bfp so
Enjoy while you can but no gallon over or jäger bombs true!!

Jessica85 · 09/10/2014 11:41

butterfly that sucks. Its so frustrating when you don't know whats going on.

English, I'll probs also not be joining an threads for a while, who was chatting to dp the other day about paying for an early scan so at least we know there's a heartbeat at 8 weeks.

Jackie, ceds, the bean doesn't get anything from the mother for the first few weeks, so I'm sure that a sneaky glass of wine or the odd coffee won't do any damage.

Nordic I've been poas every day since 3dpo (thank the lord for ICs). Today is the first day I feel oddly upduffed though. Tired and nauseous even though I had a full 7 hours last night and no alcohol.

Jessica85 · 09/10/2014 11:42

*tho, not who.

sparkle17 · 09/10/2014 11:45

Fx for you jessica

spinningirl10 · 09/10/2014 11:46

Bugger! Just got deep +opk with ic so did a cb and got smiley face, shit, I'm only cd7!! The soy must have bought it forward, that's not good is it? Also we haven't even dtd yet this cycle due to dp working long hours so swimmers won't be at their best!
