Af is due Easter Monday and I definitely won't cave and test early, I promise! Anyone with me? Anytime from Good Friday counts as an Easter Bfp Grin

Sorry the witch got you mrsmulder - af due on Saturday for me so going to do my best to wait until Sunday or Monday and if she hasn't reared her ugly head test then... haven't got any other symptoms though no sore boobs etc so not feeling optimistic!

TessWess · 25/03/2016 08:18

Sorry to hear that Mrsmulder, both times I've TTC, the disappointment when AF arrives the first month is almost the worst as you're so much more focused on it. You learn to relax (a bit!) as the months go on and think about other things.

Put this on another post, but here are the symptoms I've been experiencing this month:

3DPO onwards - vivid dreams
5DPO onwards - falling asleep in front of telly at night (unusual for me)
7DPO - temp drop and light cramping
8DPO - temp back up, cramping subsides. Boobs start to feel heavy and tender
9DPO - random nose bleed and beginnings of acid reflux
10DPO - sore throat and generally feeling unwell

This morning I was gagging preparing my DS's banana (I hate the strings!!) but it's unusual for it to turn my stomach that much!!

Anyone else with similar signs??

The only clear thing I remember when pregnant with DS (before testing) is being hot to the touch (wasn't temping in those days), so I'm waiting for my skin to feel like that again before I really start to feel very excited about a BFP result! I plan to wait to test until I'm late, so probably next Wednesday xx

Hey ladies,
The witch has got me. I'm out for another month.
I hope the rest of you have better luck!

KitKat1985 · 25/03/2016 09:46

Sorry to hear about AF MrsMulder and LuckyBlack. xx

Thisisbloddyridiculous am impressed at your resolve to wait to test. Crossing fingers for you.

TessWess when are you due to test?

TessWess · 25/03/2016 10:00

Sorry to hear that LuckyBlack xx
KitKat I'm due Mon or Tues, so will test Weds in no AF by then... xx

KitKat1985 · 25/03/2016 17:48

Crossing fingers for you TessWess. xx

thisisbloodyridiculous · 26/03/2016 09:47

No sign of af yet....

KitKat1985 · 26/03/2016 10:03

I'm impressed by your willpower thisisbloodyridiculous. I'd have caved a couple a days ago at least by now. Are you testing tomorrow?

thisisbloodyridiculous · 26/03/2016 10:08

kitkat aside from tiredness, forgetfulness & a few headaches I don't have any symptoms really so don't think it's going to happen this month. I was so upset at getting lots of BFNs after testing loads last month I'm determined to be more laid back now... just hoping the witch stays away!
How is everyone?

TessWess · 26/03/2016 17:31

thisisbloodyridiculous, has AF showed up yet or do you have any signs that it's imminent? Hoping it stays away for you! Are you still waiting til tomorrow to test? You could be our next BFP!
I'm due Tues and will test Weds, unless I really can't hold out and cave on Monday! I'm exactly like you though, hate the BFNs and would rather wait until feel more hopeful for a positive result xxx

Ghostonthedancefloor · 26/03/2016 18:10

How are we all doing? You lot have willpower of steel not testing early! I may or may not have just tested at, 9 or 11dpo (I know, I know!) I have spent so much time looking for lines I don't know whether my brain is just making me see one to shut me up.. Does anyone care to have a look for me? I think my phone has picked up the "line" I saw slightly better.....

Anyone testing Easter weekend?
thisisbloodyridiculous · 26/03/2016 19:32

tesswess she usually comes overnight so if I make it to tomorrow morning without her putting in an appearance will be testing! Eek! Confused Bought a tub of chocolate ice cream which will be used to either celebrate or commiserate tomorrow!

ghost so sorry I can't see a line - is it a first response test? Maybe try again in a couple of days?

Ghostonthedancefloor · 26/03/2016 19:42

Yes it was. I knew I was wishful thinking.. It's definately not there now anyway :(

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you in the morning tho!!! Grin

thisisbloodyridiculous · 26/03/2016 19:57

Chocolate ghost it's early days - have you had any symptoms?

TessWess · 26/03/2016 20:04

Eeekkk good luck ridiculous🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ghost, I don't think I can see anything either, but 9dpo is early, don't lose hope yet!! xxx

Ghostonthedancefloor · 26/03/2016 20:23

Thanks for your input I really do appreciate it. I have no more tests now bar a few ICs and am not spending more on FRERs! Going away for 2 nights tomorrow I'll try and take my mind off it!

thisis yes! But you know what it's like everything is a symptom! I've had/having:
The main one is cramping! And a heavy feeling. As if I'm on CD1.
Nausea, on and off.
Heartburn (although I'm a regular sufferer anyway)
Tiredness and lack of energy/motivation!
And dare I say it, a "feeling"?!

Fx for us all!

thisisbloodyridiculous · 27/03/2016 03:51

So the dog started barking in his sleep so I am sat awake ... doesn't feel like the witch is here.. terrified of getting my hopes up though! Blush argh!

thisisbloodyridiculous · 27/03/2016 04:01

Tested.... bfn with superdrug early response Sad

KitKat1985 · 27/03/2016 09:06

Sorry Ghost I'm not seeing a line in that pic. It's very early days though so one may come yet.

Thisisbloodyridiculous - sorry about the BFN. It's gutting I know. Flowers

thisisbloodyridiculous · 27/03/2016 09:22

Thanks kitkat Chocolate happy Easter! Still no sign of AF not even early indication that she's on her way Easter Confused

Ghostonthedancefloor · 27/03/2016 10:11

You're not out til she arrives. Some people don't get bfps until after AF is due! In the meantime ... Chocolate and more Chocolate

thisisbloodyridiculous · 27/03/2016 19:13

Thanks ghost DH made me and my DM a massive roast today so not had any room for chocolate! Still no sign of AF... Ordered a couple of FRERs from Amazon as I've only one Superdrug early test left which I will use in the morning
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend! We're getting into exciting testing territory next week for everyone Grin

TessWess · 27/03/2016 19:52

Ooo promising that there's no AF! I was feeling so positive with lots of signs, but I'm suddenly feeling all pesimistic, with AF type cramps tormenting me this afternoon 🙈
Due tomorrow earliest, more likely Tuesday. Was planning to test Wednesday, but may well cave tomorrow as DH is off work! Argh nervous!!!! 😯🤔😳

thisisbloodyridiculous · 27/03/2016 22:27

Good luck tess hope the witch stays away for both of us!
