You're not out 'Til you're out ladies.

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 09:44

I'm due to test today according to Ovia but I'm still convinced af is imminent so I'm going to wait a few days.

Ni I've been sweating my tits off for a few days and I'm usually cold too. Hopefully it's a sign but I'm not getting my hopes up

First day back at work today boooooo

Chocaholic88 · 04/01/2016 09:47

Sorry to read that indi but glad you're staying positive! ☺

Ni4444 · 04/01/2016 10:40

Sorry to hear that Indi. How many dpo are you?

Yup back to work...but still eating the shortbread biccies. Must start saying no to the junk!

Miley how are you resisting?!

Ni4444 · 04/01/2016 10:41

Oh and we totally tormented ourselves yesterday hanging out with a 3 week old baby!! Beautiful house, cosy living room, roaring fire, and baby snuggling. Hope that's a snapshot of our future!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 04/01/2016 10:47

bunch Im trying sooo hard not to test! I've been going straight for a wee as soon as I open my eyes so I haven't got he chance to save my fmu! I have a stubborn iron will! Woke up feeling a bit sick again, wind and cramps!

Sorry about the bfn's guys, but like our bunchy says, you're not out till you're out! And even then youre practically in again cause it's only a week off!

Ni I'll be about 15dpo I think so I'm pretty sure AF is on its way.
Just finished my first gym session of the year, feel SO much better now Grin

DrWhy · 04/01/2016 11:10

I'm totally confused now, one 26 day cycle off the pill with now DTD (DH away). Then next cycle we started TTC but no ovulation sticks or anything, lots of DTD most days. AF due today based on 28 day cycle. I got some bleeding about 5 days ago which I thought was start of AF along with cramps but it sort of gave up after a few hours and I have had grotty brown spotting ever since but with the cramps I usually get with AF.
No early response tests in boots yesterday and I feel silly spending a fortune on tests when I could just wait - it feels so much like AF already. If my cycle really is 28 days I guess a regular test would give me an answer in the next few days. Not sure what to do now.
I'm worried as I told DH when I thought I was out for the month and he was totally unbothered and when I said I was a bit sad about it he did it was probably a good thing as I would just start stressing if I was pregnant. So now I'm worried that if I am he doesn't really want it and won't be supportive, arghh! He did agree to TTC but I think he'll just be cross that I said it was unlikely to happen on the 1st cycle if it actually has, eek!

DrWhy · 04/01/2016 11:11

no DTD in the 1st sentence - not now!

IndiX · 04/01/2016 11:17

Hi DrWhy,
I think you're stressing to much tbh, I'm not sure about your cycles etc becuase I'm only new to TTC myself but where your DH is concerned I think he's just trying to make you feel better if you said you were out. My DH says things like that so I'm not so disappointed, I think he was just trying to be kind and not have you feel bad on his part too. I know that when I get a bfn I feel like I let my DH down he would think I was mad if I told him that. I really wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure he will be delighted if you get a bfp! Fx for you!!

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 11:19

Ni it's taking everything I have! I just figure I've waited 2 weeks, what's 2 more days. Plus I'm sure af is coming.Baby snuggles are the best Smile I had my godson out shopping last week and everyone thought he was mine. I burst into tears in the car because I was so excited for it to eventually be my baby Blush

Dr I'm sure he will just be saying that to help keep you positive and stop you being too disappointed Smile spotting could have been IB?? I say test Wink

IndiX · 04/01/2016 11:28

I think I'm going insane.
So I did a test this morning and kind of thought I could see a shadow of some sort but then me and DH agreed we were going crazy and there was no 2nd line.
Just broken open the test and you can clearly see the evap and test line but is there a 2nd line in between?!?!!! I've changed the contrast on the photo so you can see clearly.
Omg am I going mental?!
I know its out of the time limit but I also broke open my FR one from the other day and no 2nd line at all.

There's a line in my eyes Indi!!!!!!!!!

Chocaholic88 · 04/01/2016 11:31

indi call me crazy but I can see a line....

IndiX · 04/01/2016 11:36

But it's out of the time frame?! I'll
Show you it when I first did the test this morning but in convinced myself there was nothing there so threw it in the bin after a couple of minutes..

Thanks Indi and Miley - yes, he probably was just trying to say the right thing, he's not that great with emotions! I have already quizzed him about whether he's really on board with this and his response was 'when have I ever agreed to do something k don't want to do' true although not the overwhelming excitement I was hoping for!
So... If I were to test, where is the best place to get sticks from? There is a boots with parking vaguely on my way home from the office or various supermarkets and do I need to spend a fortune on clear blue?
Indi that looks very much like a line in the middle to me! Test again tomorrow morning...!

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 11:44

Dr I test with cheapies off amazon (not the stick ones) but have heard first response early results are good so have some of them away in my cupboard behind all of my used opks Blush

Indi definitely test again tomorrow! How exciting

IndiX · 04/01/2016 11:49

Last picture I promise...
This was the test first thing. My DH is now convinced there is a 2nd line...oh fuck sake I'm emotional and confused. I felt so positive this morning that I was looking forward to my AF and my health kick.
Will test tomorrow again..at least I'm not going too crazy if you can see too Grin

Hi indi.

I would cautiously say on the first black and white photo I can see one. Is it a FRER?

X

IndiX · 04/01/2016 11:55

It was a super drug sensitive one, I didn't do any OPKs this month so only went by Ovia app and my EWCM so could of possibly ovulated later than i thought hence the bfn's the other day. Oh god I'm so confused, I don't want to get excited

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 11:57

Indi I believe I can see a line on the black and white!

spacepoodle · 04/01/2016 12:00

First post on here, long time lurker. A bit late to this thread but had to join in!

Spacepoodle, 29
TTC #1
Cycle 4
CD 24

Tested on Saturday and got a BFN of course. Really hoping for a BFP as we tried extra hard over Christmas Xmas Wink.

I've been feeling very queasy for the last week and crying at pretty much anything. I've also been having crazy dreams (mostly about babies), but last night I dreamt I had to take Jerry Springer's teenage son shopping to JD Sports but Jerry Springer was also Don from Home and Away Hmm.

Itching to take another test but will wait a few days. Really feel like AF is imminent.

IndiX that looks like a line to me too!

Mileymoocow · 04/01/2016 12:15

space welcome! Your dream has made my day, I'm still giggling away at it. And I thought mine were bat shit crazy. When is af due? I'm due to take a test too, we must be cycle buddies.

Jamjar12 · 04/01/2016 12:18

Ok, so following my over eager OPK line spotting a few days ago, I now have this? Strong enough?

I also just had to have a kidney scan and I won't lie, I got a bit of a thrill out of seeing an ultrasound of my belly on the screen. Yes, it was empty of course but still... Maybe next time it won't be so empty!

Miley Thank you!
AF is due on Saturday 9th and I'm usually like clockwork. When are you due? Would be great to have a cycle buddy!

I'm confused as to whether I have PMS or PG symptoms. I suspect it's good old AF making an appearance. I've been feeling lightheaded and have a sort of bubbling feeling in my tummy which could just be wind... I've given up alcohol for January but if AF arrives think I'll need a glass of wine to console myself. I didn't realise TTC would take over my entire thought process. I'm crying whenever I see a baby - I've turned into one of those people Blush.
