Congrats NewMrs!!

BFP list is getting longer!

Newmrs22 · 12/12/2015 10:38

Thanks Pink! Told OH, don't think he believes me yet! Ha. Just went out and bought a clear blue which came up positive 1-2 weeks. I think he'll believe it more once he sees that! Grin

Need to do another in the morning FMU to get more accurate weeks indication on the clear blue apparently

Newmrs22 · 12/12/2015 10:40

Thanks runner So with hindsight, I've had tiredness, I had really bad heartburn on weds which I never get. And some weird cramping feelings, which I thought was AF about to make an appearance. Other than that, nothing. No sore boobs really. Although saying that they do feel a bit sore today.

Pink - I don't think that was your peak personally, it happened to me in the weak up to my positive (them going up and down like that). I always doubted it until it happened but the line HAS to be stronger than the control line and yours wasn't, was it? Hang in there honestly!!!! It will happen (and I'm a pessimist).

Right, came off pill last month, DH got home and we got chance to DTD once before AF arrived. I was actually quite pleased as it actually meant an exactly 28 day cycle for 1st one off the pill which I did I expect at all.
Now on CD 6ish and have DH waiting to pounce on my at the earliest possible opportunity! Eek, this might be about the get real with actual 'not preventing' very soon!
No OPKs or temping for at least the 1st few months, just seeing how it goes.

You say that now drwhy I held back, we've literally just started, I'm not temping yet but I'm loving ovia and my multi pack of okp's just arrived from amazon Xmas Grin

Fingers crossed you are right Shelb. We DTD this morning so only missed Thursday and Friday. Hopefully the OPK later will look better.

I'm still putting pillows under my hips after DTD but I can't say it feels particularly sexy or glamorous! But needs must I suppose. I'd regret it if I didn't do it!

Pinklily1 · 12/12/2015 11:46

DrWhy, I was adamant I wasn't going to use OPK's but I caved after only a few days!

ChinaSorrows · 12/12/2015 11:51

Congratulations NewMrs!!!

I just bought 5 sticks from Amazon. They should be delivered by the time I'm due to test! Blush

I wish i could have gone back to bed. I was teaching this morning.
Fortunately it's just low level nausea at the moment and being active stopped me noticing it. Now Ive stopped I'm getting that ikky "really really wet" mouth thing that I get if I'm going to vomit... And my dear bro has just told me he's ill. And we went for lunch last week... The odds on the bets for a bfp are getting low!

shelbTa · 12/12/2015 12:09

Erm what the hell is this??? Last night i got a pinching in my left side whilst at my xmas do. I put it down to high waisted jeans and just ramming down a three course meal but it was remarkably like the pinching I got 36 hours after my positive opk so I though I'd do one this morning just to check - what the hell, why is it showing that strong???? Help!

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 12:51

Ooo... Could be an early sign of pregnancy Shelb Wink

What did the pinching feel like. I got that sensation after my do on Thursday. Like being poked with a fat blunt knitting needle. Thought it might be implantation. And if you're a couple of days after me as I now think you are it would be good timing Grin

Fx for synchronised BFPs!!!!

shelbTa · 12/12/2015 13:31

Hmm maybe runner (which would be great, obvs) but I've also googled it and it could be sign of impending AF. Ovia is still tracking my AF from my pill days as 28 day cycle, mean I would come on on Wednesday, but I only ovulated CD21-22. I'd did a few opks this week to make sure my surge was over and they were def negatives.

It felt like a sting almost, 8-10 pink pricks but it only lasted a minute or two. Think implantation lasts longer? Did yours?

Uhhhhhh.

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 14:17

Shelb I had the poking feeling on and off for a couple of hours and then slightly crampy for a couple of hours afterwards. But really I have no idea if it really was implantation and won't until Friday at the earliest.

It is your first month though so you never know. When are you testing now?

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 15:00

Shelb I just tried another opk too but mine showed a clear positive. Could you have ovulated later than you thought?

shelbTa · 12/12/2015 15:13

Yours was a positive?! Are you ovulating now do you think? Interesting. No, I'm sure it was when it was, as I've been doing opks this week and they were all negative.

I feel ROTTEN today, sick, knackered.

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 16:25

Sod it, I meant negative. brain no longer works

Do you think you've got a cold or are you claiming symptoms? Wink

I think I've gone from being certain it's not my month to being cautiously optimistic that a BFP is on its way in a few days. Thank god I bought all those cheap tests as I think I'm going to use the blinking lot lol

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 16:27

By the way, I read an article today that said their is no such thing as implantation pain and people who think they feel it are actually mistaking trapped wind Hmm

Guess we'll have to wait and see but I also looked up what implantation felt like and there were as many descriptions as there were people claiming to have felt it.

shelbTa · 12/12/2015 16:54

Ah runner I really hope it is for you. What has swayed you?

I think AF is going to come soon for me. If I feel like this tomorrow though I might change my mind...

Pinklily1 · 12/12/2015 17:00

Shelb and Runner - are you both testing after AF is due or a few days before? Sorry, I have lost track a bit!

TudorTrace · 12/12/2015 17:18

Hi ladies, may I join? AF due Wednesday.

Am I being unreasonably silly to POAS tonight? I'm itching to, but only 10DPO Blush

I know full well not to be gutted if it's a BFN, too.

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 17:30

Shelb I hope you don't get AF!

I don't know what's changed my mind. I just feel like I might be. I could well be wrong. OH and I were just talking about it, he informed me that he doesn't want to know about any testing etc. until I have a nice clear BFP lol. He also asked if we did it at the right time, I told him it depends how resilient his swimmers are... According to him "Very". I reminded him we failed last month but apparently this is my fault for having a defective egg! The cheek!!! Lol

Pink I'm going to test before AF. If last month is anything to go by I've got a 30 odd day cycle but I must have ovulated really, really early. Ovia says I can test in 6 days... I think it's fare to say I'm far to impatient for that so will be wasting ic tests left right and centre lol

Runner05 · 12/12/2015 17:33

Hi Tudor it depends. Lots of people do get BFP at 10 days but you may also get a false BFN and the. You'll be in limbo until AF arrives or not.

It depends if you can handle the disappointment. I know what I'd do but I am a lifetime member of pissy sticks anonymous and treat the (how many steps are we on now) plan as a to do list Grin

shelbTa · 12/12/2015 17:36

Welcome tudor! I think 10dpo is worth a go.

Pink ovia says my AF is due on weds, but that's working a 28day cycle from my pill. I'm 4-5 dpo today. Did you do an opk today?

Runner ha! The cheek!

TudorTrace · 12/12/2015 17:43

Thank you ladies, tested and BFN for sure Sad

TTC before I was strict and never tested until I was at least 1 day late for AF. I had a MC in October and I got a BFP and 9DPO so I'm feeling like I'm in limbo.

Is it that all women are difference with testing early, or is it that each pregnancy is different? Usually people who test early on and get positives don't get negatives if they're actually PG and it's too soon to show up, do they?

Sorry for my rambling!
