Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

Yay! Brilliant news epskie! So happy for you GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

Hi Malibu, I'm going to hold off testing til around the same time as you I think which will be about 12dpo I think. Can't rely on AF prediction as pcos means my cycles have been around the 45 day mark the last few months. If the opk was right it would put me on a 38 dayer so we will see.

Boobs a bit twingy now but probably because I'm thinking about it.

Sorry for bfn Spring. Boo. Hmm

doomkittycleo · 01/04/2015 08:58

Epskie I'm so happy for you. This next couple of days is going to be tough for me. Not sure how long I will hold out testing.

Did you get any symptoms? Not that I'm spotting Wink

TerryTheGreenHorse · 01/04/2015 09:00

Epskie! Brilliant news, so pleased for you. Grin AMAZING news!

Did you have any symptoms in the end?

MalibuDaisy · 01/04/2015 10:07

epskie that's amazing news, congratulations! Yay!!

Terry I succumbed to early testing last month, and felt annoyed with myself when they came out negative as it didn't really tell me anything either way. I even did a test in the morning on the day that AF arrived in the evening, and it was too much excitement/disappointment for one day! Not succumbed to the lure of ICs yet, heh :)

Lara perhaps we can be testing buddies then...if the witch doesn't arrive for me first! x

Monkeysocks38 · 01/04/2015 10:08

Congratulation Epskie. It's always lovely to see some good news on here.

I poas this morning and it was bfn. So annoyed at myself for not being able to hold out like I said I would this month!

MalibuDaisy · 01/04/2015 10:08

Sorry to read about your BFN Spring Flowers

TerryTheGreenHorse · 01/04/2015 10:10

Yes ICs are the devils work. But I have a bag of them upstairs!

doomkittycleo · 01/04/2015 12:27

Sad af type pains have started, not sharp ones, just achey uterus. I'm not due on until Sunday, but last month was a 25 day cycle so if that happens again I'll be due on tomorrow. Can feel my chances fading.

CarrotVan · 01/04/2015 12:44

Congratulations epskie - that's lovely news

Commiserations Spring - see you for the TWW in the second half of April?

Springflower3 · 01/04/2015 13:35

Thanks everyone!! It's is so disheartening! How can it happen so fast with dd!!

Yea carrot I think so now that the notion is there we will keep trying!! Might use a tracking system what do people suggest??

MalibuDaisy · 01/04/2015 13:38

Just got back from my regular six-mile Wednesday run. I felt like an obese 80-year old all the way round and felt sick and dizzy when I stopped. "A-ha!" said symptom-spotting brain, "Could it be..." then I cut myself off. Remembered that the same run exactly four weeks ago knocked me sideways then too. Sucking at running must be a post-ov/pre-menstrual thing. I'll look forward to that every month then...FML Wink

TerryTheGreenHorse · 01/04/2015 14:33

I've got period tracker on my iPhone.

I just use it to log my cycles.

TerryTheGreenHorse · 01/04/2015 14:39

It's angry ness a symptom I wonder?

I just swore at some coleslaw.

MalibuDaisy · 01/04/2015 15:26

Hahaha, what did the coleslaw do?! I often swear at inanimate objects - probably says more about my mental state than my fertility but you never know Wink

TerryTheGreenHorse · 01/04/2015 16:20

It fell out of the fridge. The annoying bastard!

doomkittycleo · 01/04/2015 19:59

Everyone has gone quiet....

Springflower3 · 01/04/2015 20:12

I'm wallowing in self pity and confusion!!

doomkittycleo · 01/04/2015 20:15

Why the confusion Spring. I'm trying not to try to figure out if I'm having af pains or something else. Trying to hold out till she's due before testing. I'm actually too scared to test but my Internet cheapies arrived today. 10dpo today.

Springflower3 · 01/04/2015 20:19

If I explain the confusion it might be tmi!! Lol!! I've one last cb on the house and if it hasn't come by sat then I will test! But I've still got my pity party going on lol!! Your doing so well doom! I really hope you get bfp!!

epskie · 01/04/2015 20:30

Thanks so much everybody, I'm so happy but so nervous. Still very aware that a chemical is a real possibility this early on.

With regards to symptoms, I hate to say it but they were just the same as AF symptoms! And severe heartburn!

Monkeysocks38 · 01/04/2015 20:31

Doom I have achy stomach pains too. For now let's assume they are implantation cramps then we can feel positively about them. ??

TerryTheGreenHorse · 01/04/2015 20:32

I feel moody and greasy and ive had a stabbing pain in my general womb area.

Triplets I reckon Grin

LaraNotCroft22 · 01/04/2015 20:49

I wish it wasn't two weeks each time waiting. Gahhh so annoying! I don't think the men folk really get it either, just kinda wait on the news. Fingers crossed for some more bfps this month Smile

wineandpopcorn · 01/04/2015 21:08

Congratulations epskie!!!!!! Flowers. Fantastic news x

Droflove · 02/04/2015 00:38

Sorry for the silence. I went and got a test this afternoon. Peed on the bastarding yoke which made me wait forever for the result and it was a bfp!!!! Still reeling but over the shock enough to come back and tell you lovely ladies who cheered me on and helped me through the end of the horrific tww. Oh holy shit. I'll have 3 under 3.
