Am impatient. Want to take a test, but know its just a waste of money!

oh well if u havent even really missed af theres still chance i guess?

my first test last thursday 4 days before af was barely recognisable by sunday i had 2-3 weeks on cb digi.

Lilymog · 12/02/2015 20:26

I am so confused. I had a positive opk last Friday and dtd a lot over the weekend. I had a MMC on Christmas Eve and at the ripe old age of 42 am desperate to get pregnant again! Really thought this might be the time, however yesterday had a bleed. It wasn't heavy, it was red and today it's been a bit like a dark brown discharge, like the end of a period! Does this mean I am out? Yesterday I would have only been 5 dpo. Argh!

temperamentalamongcorvids · 12/02/2015 20:44

lily I'm in a similar situation, ttc after a mc in December. I'm pretty sure I ov 'd at the weekend too, so am now 5 or 6 dpo. It's way too soon for af, so maybe you had a really early implantation bleed - if it can happen so soon, I'm not sure.
When I had IB in a previous page, it was a gush of bright red blood and that was it.

Hey, can I join?

Seldom - love your name and my AF is due on the same day as yours! Another 6 days, boo.

This is our first cycle ttc, baby number 4, eek...

MillieMoodle · 12/02/2015 21:16

Hi all, I've been a bit quiet the last couple of days but AF has finally arrived. It was cd38 yesterday so hopefully won't take too long for cycles to settle down.

SeldomAthleticFC · 12/02/2015 21:17

Hi Lily, nearly the same age as you - I'll be 42 this year. My cycle is all up the spout. I frankly have no idea what's going on with it.
Welcome, Temperamental.
Hi My, Thanks - I was rather pleased with my name! I'm ttc #3.
It's good to have someone to share the agonising wait til Wednesday (I think I'll let myself test on Monday, although it's probably futile!)

FlourishingMrs · 12/02/2015 21:34

The Witch got me, I had positive opk clear blue solid smiley on Friday 30th, so yesterday was less than 11 day post ovulation she came (stupid cow) As I have two wonderful children, I know my luteal phase is healthy, so why did the witch prematurely? I had Mirena taken out 5 dec 2014, withdrawal bleed for two days, first AF 13th jan, positive opk 30 th jan. transvaginal scan 6th feb confirmed ovulation and healthy lining.Bd every othe day. I am so frustrated. Why did I not get my BFP, nearly 40. Best wishes to those still in.

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 12/02/2015 22:07

Can I join please? TTC for the second time, DS is now 3, and after a repair op and recovery time we decided to TTC at the end of last year. Got a BFP which resulted in an early miscarriage. Now decided to try again and see what happens. Did an opk yesterday which was a strong positive so DTD yesterday and today. I have irregular periods-between 4-6 weeks so will insist on DTD for another week but when can I test? It makes it hard to know.

SeldomAthleticFC · 12/02/2015 22:31

Bad luck, Flourishing. Flowers She is a right old bag, that witch.
Hi Macca, I think it's sensible to assume that AF is due on the basis of my longest recent cycle (which would be weds) but I'm testing on the assumption that AF is due anytime now (because I've gone slightly mad this month)

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 12/02/2015 22:36

Is it a bad thing that the bag of 100 internet cheapies is looking a little bit diminished after only a couple of months, when we weren't really trying at all?? Blush

temperamentalamongcorvids · 13/02/2015 08:21

macca if they're there, you'll pee on them, in my experience.

Yesterday and this morning my nipples have been hurting, a lot. And when I squeezed one in the shower, a bit of milk came out. I stopped bf almost 14 months ago.

SecretlyobsessedbyLego · 13/02/2015 08:46

So POAS this morning. Today is when AF should arrive if 28 day cycle, wasnt sure if it was 26 which would have been Wednesday. Got very feint line on the cross for Clear Blue Digi. I can see it and hubby can too but because its so feint we don't want to celebrate just yet. I have attached pictures - can anyone else see a feint line too. Should I get another test from a different brand? If so what do you recommend??? Apparently it might be feint as its the day I'm expecting my AF?? HELP

That is definitely a line, Secretly. Congratulations!! Smile
I woke up with period pains this morning. AF probably not due til at least Sunday - trying to convince myself the pains are just wind. LOL.

SecretlyobsessedbyLego · 13/02/2015 09:25

Thanks Seldom.
To be fair I've felt nauseous for the past 3 days now. When I did a test on Monday it was negative but too early I guess. I need to get another test thats not CB before we celebrate. Any recommendations? Someone on here mentioned pink indicator is better than blue??

MyCrazyLife · 13/02/2015 09:51

Congrats Secretly - that's a positive! I don't like blue line tests; they're always fainter for me. Superdrug are my favourite :)

Seldom - good luck for Monday! I hate seeing BFN so I'm going to try to wait until AF arrives. DH is working away anyway. Doubt I'll be able to hold out though... I've already got tests in the cupboard!

Focusfocus · 13/02/2015 10:24

Hello all!

I am back and joining again as today is Ovulation Day so my TWW begins tomorrow. Gosh this thread has grown!!!! Congrats to all the BFPs - hope this is the lucky thread :)

I got my massive LH surge all day yesterday and ClearBlue steady smileys for peak fertility - and sure enough this morning - with a dull twinge of hour long pain my left ovary has pushed out Ze Egg.

This month we've given it our all. We'd both long been on conception vita (only Cycle 2 of TTC though - just had started prepping body last year) - but now Dh has been taking extra Zinc, CoQ10 and Vits C and E, and I've been upping my low iron reserves, and having raspberry leaf tea, grapefruit juice and Evening Primrose Oil till today. And keeping womb warm :) Oh and have started acupuncture as well - had a session end of AF, a session 3 days before ovulation and 1 session due 4 DPO.

So Miss Egg is likely to meet - fresh swimmers (tonight), 12 hour old swimmers (last night) 1 day old swimmers (last morning), 2 day old swimmers (Wednesday morning), 3.5 day old swimmers (Monday night) and any old sods clinging on from 5.5 day old swimmers (Saturday evening).

Couldn't have done any more - DH's penis is going to fall off!!!

Having lots of warm foods, ginger and cinnamon teas to keep warm, continue taking my Spatone for blood reserves, iron rich foods, warm bottles, and pineapple core and pineapple till 6 dpo.

Fingers crossed for everyone!!!

xxxx

FluffinWithMyMuffin · 13/02/2015 14:55

Congrats, Fluffin! I guess today isn't that unlucky!

SecretlyobsessedbyLego · 13/02/2015 16:57

Ah great news Fluffin
I did 3 different brands in the end and got feint positive on all 3 so must be a good result.
Sending happy BFP thoughts to everyone still waiting Smile xx

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 13/02/2015 17:44

Congrats fluffin :). Just purchased a load of pregnancy tests. My desires to POAS regardless of probability will hopefully be sated! Grin

SeldomAthleticFC · 13/02/2015 18:30

Congrats Fluffin!
You deserve a BFP for effort, Focus!
Still no sign of the witch for me, though I'm pretty sure she's coming. At least if AF's early it'll save me some money on unnecessary early tests!

gingerbreadmam · 13/02/2015 19:09

congrats fluffin Grin

Lilymog · 14/02/2015 09:02

Well that's me out, AF has arrived a week early, the small bleeding I was hoping was implantation bleeding has turned into the witch! Gutted is not the word. Guess my system is mucked up by the MMC! But now I have no idea when I should start to test for ovulation. What methods do you all use, so far I have only used the CB digital ovulation tests but they are so expensive. Any advice? Xx

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 14/02/2015 09:29

I got internet cheapies which I think do the job but are not as easy to interpret as the CB ones. Sorry to hear about AF. Time to get back on that horse Wink.

Lilymog · 14/02/2015 09:56

Where do you get them from and what should I look for? Thanks
