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?!

MalibuDaisy · 02/04/2015 09:14

Great news droflove!! Two in two days! Perhaps this is a lucky thread?! Wink

Springflower3 · 02/04/2015 09:29

Congrats to all has a bfp! Who is left to test???

Due to circumstances at present me and do are going to put off ttc for a while!

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 10:03

I'm still left to test but due to period pains, not holding out much hope. If I don't come on in the next couple of days I'll test.

Droflove · 02/04/2015 10:13

Doomkitty, I had 3 days of bad period pains before BFP. Thought a stinker of an af was coming. I was wondering if you get pp and no af within a fairly short space of time, surely that is an indication you might be pregnant. As contractions of the womb cause the pp so the contractions should lead to af starting within a relatively short time frame.

MalibuDaisy · 02/04/2015 10:18

I'm still left to test, but only if AF doesn't arrive on Weds. She arrived late last Weds (about 6pm) so I'm banned from POAS until next Friday! Unless I throw up or pass out or do something that might be an actual test-worthy symptom before then Wink x

MalibuDaisy · 02/04/2015 10:20

Interesting about the period pains thing. I've never had pains until AF has actually started, so that's something to look out for obsessively bear in mind :) x

fuzzywuzzy · 02/04/2015 10:30

remember having that heavy pulling feeling wen I ad DD and ten no period.

I'm currently using OPK's, I think I am right about when I normally ovulate tho... also hate the 2ww, then the week of AF pah Angry Brew Cake

epskie · 02/04/2015 11:31

Congrats drolove woohoo!!

I'm still getting quite faint lines on my tests, I've got a clearblue digital which I'm saving for tomorrow. I know how to treat myself at Easter Wink

FortySixandTwo · 02/04/2015 12:00

Congrats Drolove.

Awesome 2 BFPs in as many days :) good luck to everyone still waiting to test xxxx

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 12:58

Thing is with being off the pill recently I don't know what my normal period pains feel like. I've got dreadful backache today which I don't think I normally get.

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 17:53

Ive been really quite silly today and POAS. I am only 8 DPO.

It was a FRER and there was one of those super faint shadow lines, but I know from previous months that these are a common ballache with this type if test. But it's enough to make me feel all obsessy!

Why do I do it. Naughty terry.

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 17:54

And huge congrats drolove, really pleased to see another BFP!

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 18:31

Finally decided to take a test, then af showed up while I was waiting for the result :'( :'( :'(

SeldomAthleticFC · 02/04/2015 18:54

Oh, doom. Sad Nice timing, AF.

I am in the TWW, although I have no idea when I ov and not much idea when AF is due. Maybe on Saturday? Maybe next Thursday?

Just wanted to say that a couple of months ago I had AF cramps for about 3 days before AF appeared which I'd never had before. In my case it signified nothing at all. Over the last 5 months I've had loads of "symptoms" but no BFP, which is why I've resolved not to symptom spot any more.

MalibuDaisy · 02/04/2015 19:06

Oh doom that's pants! What a little b!tch that AF can be :( Flowers

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 19:16

Sorry doom, bad news.

doomkittycleo · 02/04/2015 20:17

That's 2 25 day cycles in a row now. 10 day leutal phase. Could this be due to the pill or will it be a problem?

LaraNotCroft22 · 02/04/2015 21:13

Oh no doom :-( That's awful timing.

FortySixandTwo · 02/04/2015 22:41

Ah Doom sorry. :(

Terry, Step away from the stick :)

TerryTheGreenHorse · 02/04/2015 22:55

Try googling doom, I know it's not great to have a shortish luteal phase but not sure if 10 days would be a problem, or could just be your cycles settling down.

Ive read peoole have success with supllements also to lengthen it?

hewy · 02/04/2015 23:05

Evening! This is my first post. Congrats on the BFPs and commiserations to those who have waited and waited but have AF ??
Ok to join in? I'm on CD14 of (usually) 26/27 day cycle so think I ovulated today. Haven't monitored o but sore boobs today and ewcm for last 3 days. DTD for the last three nights, this morning and off for more now! Exhausted!! DH very willing to oblige (for now). Last night we used KY jelly and now I'm anxious that it'll ruin chances this month. Anyone any experience of ky while ttc?
