cd29, still no AF.... still no symptoms either though. I suppose expecting AF to be normal after last month's cp would be expecting too much anyway wouldn't it?

ditzzy · 31/12/2014 11:45

hmmm I can't count (dodgy brain is meant to be a symptoms isn't it?).... cd30 not 29... Grin

Bfn on New Year's Day Sad that's 5 days before af. Know it's not over yet, have weird potential symptom of saliva overload in mouth, as well as headaches - but hard to have any kind of hope in the face of bfn.

Some unpopular advice here :( If you can, try to avoid testing early.

I had so many 'positive' early results only for AF to arrive. Some times it's better not to 'know' :( We had been trying on / off for a year, 6 months consistently and I know the 2WW very well :(

I got a BFN 4 days before my period was due. I spent 4 days being really upset and thinking a BFP was never going to happen for me. That was 20 weeks ago now :) I used to read posts that this and think 'oh well that's great, but please do off dear!' but truly the best advice I've read on here has been to not get your hopes up, enjoy the time with your partner and stop testing early. Just take your time and go easy on yourself if you get a BFN, especially at this time of year x

Hope you all get the BFPs you deserve :)

ditzzy · 02/01/2015 07:58

Well I have a BFP this morning! Grin !! says 2-3 weeks on cb digi. Last month's only said 1-2, so I wonder if that gives me a better chance of making it through the next week....

Both months I've tested when AF 3 days late. She turned up one week late last month (4 days after my BFP) if I was being really paranoid I'd wonder whether that tiny bit of colour when I wiped this morning was spotting already, but that really would be paranoia wouldn't it?

I wonder what my chances of getting a docs appt today are? He did say to come straight in if I got another BFP. (although he didn't quite phrase it that way Wink )

1Strawberry · 02/01/2015 08:55

Ditzy that's great!! Congratulations on a lovely bfp!

I tested again this morn, pretty sure it was a bfn. Feel so silly but was seeing a colourless 2nd line, tried wiping it off to see what would happen (cheap test strip) and it disappeared!! Any thoughts on that strange and ridiculous occurance?

ditzzy · 02/01/2015 08:59

Thanks Strawberry! That's why I like cd digis Grin to me it makes the BFP that much more lovely when it has a number next to it. (ok, I'm a bit of a geek like that)

MrsG23 · 02/01/2015 09:01

MrsGentle here - changed my name ;)
CONGRATS Ditzy! Thats wonderful news! :)

Sorry about your BFN strawberry...
I havent tested since the 31st - BFN. But the last few days, ive had a slight temperature - 37.7 and the nausea has really ramped up. Crampy, dragging, tight feeling lower down for the last 48 hours too with some light brown discharge, but thats it... Gonna test after the weekend if no AF. :(

1Strawberry · 02/01/2015 09:14

Ok just fished it out of the bin and it's just a plain bfn. Now thinking I must have some kind of deadly stomach disease causing me to suddenly have so much saliva, but Anyway roll on next month!

1Strawberry · 02/01/2015 09:25

Mrsg the plot thickens! Well I guess you'll know for sure over the next few days, keep us posted!

ditzzy · 02/01/2015 09:27

Thanks MrsG (I think I might have guessed who you were with that change)! I think you have far more symptoms than I do.

Awww Strawberry..... I have heard (just on the grapevine) that some UTIs can cause false negatives? I wonder whether deadly-stomach-disease-causing-excess-saliva can do the same?! Hmm

ditzzy · 02/01/2015 11:46

Shockingly managed to get straight in to see doc this morning and other than not being impressed at my blood pressure she was very helpful in making me all excited again Grin Grin Grin and there was me thinking I was going to get accused of time wasting....

I'm not brave enough to go over to the antenatal threads just yet (will wait a week) so hope you girls don't mind me grinning around on here for a while? Grin

MrsG23 · 02/01/2015 17:34

A www ditzy - you can hang out with us :) that is so exciting...!
Someone in another thread told me to stop over analysing everything! Kinda difficult when I havent a clue what my body is doing :(
Haven't tested since 31st which was BFN...
Any other news from you guys?

Tweej · 03/01/2015 09:31

Hi girls

Hoping I can join you all. All reason and rationale have escaped me this cycle. 2nd month ttc, cp on first cycle. Waited two cycles to try again. Currently 7dpo and used opks, also tried the smep. Feeling nautious for two days but only in the morning and tingly boobs.

Congrats to the bfps on this thread and sorry about the bfns. Hate this tww business. Ttc number 2.

LoopyLa · 04/01/2015 19:58

Just wanted to pop by and say CONGRATS ditzzy!! I'm so jealous! Wishing you a very sticky bean & healthy pregnancy Smile

MrsG23 · 04/01/2015 20:15

What were your signs if a chemical pregnancy?? It miscarriage... I'm just not convinced that my period was just late, you know? :( feeling rotten this evening :( x

1Strawberry · 05/01/2015 13:17

Aw mrsgSad did af turn up eventually? Rubbish... Well I guess now you know that you def do want to get pregnant! I know you weren't quite sure, what about oh? Is he still in 2 minds? Got another bfn today, no surprise, af should be here today or tomrw, in a way relieved to start a fresh cycle. Going to try opk this month for the first time. What's everyone's experience of this? Success? Failure? More/less stress?

1Strawberry · 05/01/2015 13:18

Hello and welcome tweej, testing any time soon? What is smep?

ditzzy · 05/01/2015 14:10

Thanks Loopy! Grin

If I can just make it to tomorrow then I'll be further than last time and might allow myself to breathe again. Feeling really crampy today, but I guess that can be normal?

Started drinking beetroot juice to try to lower my blood pressure before I go back for re-checking on Friday... Maybe that's just giving me indigestion instead!

Welcome tweej don't worry, these lovely girls will look after you Smile

Tweej · 05/01/2015 17:58

Thanks guys what a lovely welcome. I tested four days early on the cycle that I had a chemical. Felt pregnant and wasn't surprised that I got a positive. Had a metallic taste in my mouth and boobs were sore. Literally the next day I felt back to normal. Did another test which was negative. Day period was due I tested positive again and period started later that day. It wasn't a normal period, lasted longer and I was exhausted, it was very heavy etc. Trying not to test early this cycle but it's really hard. Due to test I'm five days according to ovia app. Smep is the sperm meets egg plan. So we bd on cd 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, missed 16, then again on 18. This tww is really hard. It's constantly on my mind. 1strawberry I found opks really helpful this cycle x

1Strawberry · 06/01/2015 10:55

Hi ladies, still waiting for af here, usually like clockwork, would have expected her early morn today or else yesterday, got a bfn yesterday so don't want to waste any more tests, with both previous pregs got early bfps, so not hopeful at all, but can't settle down until af appears :0

1Strawberry · 06/01/2015 11:06

Tidge feel your pain with the sickness, both my pregs were morning sickness nightmares! So question to everybody, obv my af could appear today, but has anyone ever experienced late af and bfn, esp those with regular af?

helensburgh · 06/01/2015 22:59

Can I Join in!

I'm not sure of all the abbreviations! We are second month of trying.

I'm a bit on the old side so have resorted to ovulation tests.

Now waiting!

MrsG23 · 06/01/2015 23:16
