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?!

Sorry to hear that Daisy. How is AF is it more normal now?

MalibuDaisy · 07/04/2015 08:27

Terry it's barely there. I stopped using tampons yesterday evening and switched to a panty liner - it was clean this morning but there were some clots when I went to pee (sorry if tmi!) So it's difficult to say what's going on. I noticed that the chemist near us sells FRER tests (this morning's was a Tesco as it was all I had in the house) - I might see what happens today then possibly get one later in the week if I think there's any point. Really thinking that it might just be "one of those things" with AF at the moment though. Bit bloody cruel of her though, frankly! x

TerryTheGreenHorse · 07/04/2015 09:12

I don't want to get your hopes up daisy but the first test I used with DS1 was a total negative (tesco) and I tested in the morning with a frer and got a stonking great line, I don't think they are super sensitive.

I guess wait and see if AF either picks up or sods off?

LaraNotCroft22 · 07/04/2015 09:39

I gave in and poas too. BFN Hmm. Feel like I've failed, it's horrible. I wish this was easier. I have a docs appt today to discuss fertility so hopefully that will help.

Only 10 dpo so still a small chance I guess, otherwise onwards to next month we go!

MalibuDaisy · 07/04/2015 12:20

Thanks Terry yes I'm going to give it til the end of the day and see what happens - I've had to go back to tampons cos I had exercise classes this morning and there was no way I was risking a sudden AF surge without!! So I currently have no idea. Oh, the fun and games of it all Wink

Sorry to hear you got a negative Lara - still pretty early days though IMO. I hope your appointment goes well x

Icklepickle101 · 07/04/2015 13:37

Hi ladies!

I've been lurking for long enough, it's time to say hello!

I'm 8dpo and couldn't wait any longer poas this morning - BFN ??

I know it's too early but I'm still a little disappointed!

fuzzywuzzy · 07/04/2015 13:47

8DPO is early Pickle.

I know exactly how you feel Lara. Still a chance tho until AF shows, it is dependant on when implantation happens.

Not sure if I wish there was an easier earlier way of telling whether we've managed it or whether the old way of missing AF before testing was better.

LaraNotCroft22 · 07/04/2015 13:57

Thanks Fuzzy. Will see what happens. May only be 9dpo as don't know if ovulated last sat or sun so will keep some hope. Good luck pickle, fingers crossed it's too early for you!!

MalibuDaisy · 08/04/2015 07:42

I'm definitely out. Bleeding is continuing today, it's light but it still there so I'm certain it's just AF now. Onto next month I suppose! I'm just relieved to know one way or the other, really. Good luck to all who are still waiting on their BFPs :)

LaraNotCroft22 · 08/04/2015 12:44

Boo! Sorry Malibu :-( Glad you're happy that at least now you know though.

MalibuDaisy · 08/04/2015 13:03

Thanks Lara and best of luck to you :) x

Icklepickle101 · 08/04/2015 17:57

Sorry Malibu Sad

Ditto it's better to know one way rather than sitting around waiting.

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 07:50

Aw thanks Ickle I must admit that AF has been such a non-event in the last 24 hours that even now I catch myself thinking "Maybe??" But it's just clutching at straws now, it's been too many days. Onwards and upwards! I hope you get your BFP soon! x

Icklepickle101 · 09/04/2015 10:31

I got BFN this morning, still only 9dpo so there is still a glimmer of hope!

Felt extremely sick last night and couldn't sleep and then had some very strange dreams so trying to not get my hopes up but hoping bean implanted late!

How many days were you bleeding Malibu?

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 11:12

9 days is still early, so FX for you!

AF is on Day 5 (began late Saturday) though really nothing more than a few spots on a pantyliner for the last couple. What makes me sure it's just a light period is that I had sore boobs all week until it began, then they went back to normal shortly after it began.

Have ordered myself OPKs and a thermometer to give myself something to do this coming month! :)

LaraNotCroft22 · 09/04/2015 11:29

Fingers crossed for you pickle!! I'm 11 or 12 dpo and testing bfn Hmm

Still hoping though until af arrives!

Thinking of temping next month too Malibu, where did you get your thermometer? Amazon?

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 12:05

Lara I ordered this as recommended by another Mumsnetter:

www.amazon.co.uk/Ovulation-Ultra-10mIU-Pregancy-Thermometer/dp/B0049TRXDU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428577401&sr=8-1&keywords=babymad

I wanted the Ov sticks too as my Tesco kit only came with a stingy 10, but you can get just the thermometer on its own for under a fiver x

LaraNotCroft22 · 09/04/2015 12:38

That's great Malibu. Thank you.

I'm going to order it if af shows, give myself something to focus on next month!

MalibuDaisy · 09/04/2015 14:08

You're welcome. Yes that was my thinking exactly! x

temperamentalamongcorvids · 15/04/2015 16:47

Hello all, I'm back and starting another 2ww during which I'm trying to keep sane and busy. day 22 today of my 35 day cycle. Anyone around?

Icklepickle101 · 15/04/2015 18:25

Hello newbies!! (Waves)

I didn't test this afternoon as is drunk so much water and was weeing every 30 mins I don't think it would have been any good!!

Tomorrow morning is D day, will be 3 days late and 16dpo!! Haven't tested in about 4 days - new record for me!!

Good luck everyone Smile

Icklepickle101 · 15/04/2015 22:19
