Oh becklespeckle they say there is no such thing as a faulse positive - yay lets hope all is good news.

Still no AF. Cramps have gone so could have been implantation (trying not to get hopes up). Am now DPO12 (2 days overdue for AF) so will wait till sunday and test again.

becklespeckle · 19/04/2007 14:44

Oooh Lexie, looks good for you too. I had cramps Monday night and Tuesday morning - would have been 10/11 dpo. Fingers crossed for you!

Bbabymumma · 19/04/2007 16:19

Hi all, hope you're all good.

Went to my mum's to use the computer check for any news! Beckle - sounds like good news for you but no congratulations I promise. V.exciting.

Lexie100 - getting excited for you too. Oh fingers crossed 3 times over. My dd up every 2 hours last night. Madness. No reason for it yet again. Probably teeth (the usual excuse)

Had horrible cramps yesterday and today, 8dpo and 9dpo. Could have just been something I ate but it felt very AF crampy. Was feeling sicky and off food yesterday but not today. My body is yet again doing another Oscar nomination impression of being pg.

Cheechymunchy - these bloomin cramps!

Plummymummy - think I have the same cycle as you. Am trying to hold out testing until late next week (yeh right).

Awen - lots of luck for the next cycle.

Tiger - how are you?

Scorpio1 - where are yooouuuuu? any news?

Lexie100 · 19/04/2007 17:34

Hi all. What a lovely day. Looks like there are a few of us just waiting and waiting.

Scorpio - any news.....

Everyone else is very quiet!

tigerschick · 19/04/2007 17:52

ME? QUIET? NEVER

You OK Lexie?

scorpio1 · 19/04/2007 17:53

doctor said just to wait:

i was on antibiotics for 20 days, strong ones for tonsilitis, he said this is what has done it.also because i was ill i lost weight, and that wont help either.(im now less than 9 stone and im 5'10)so basically just wait.im not too fussed because i know i can have babies, its just a case of when, really.thats fine at least there is nothing wrong.he was very thorough too, so thats good!

my boobs are hurting tons today so maybe af will be here soon,and im very emotional (cried whilst reading!) so she must be here soon!

Thanks all for asking

and my bag is here today!im taking it out tomorrow

tigerschick · 19/04/2007 18:02

Glad to hear you got some answers, Scorpio, and that you're reasonably happy with them. I'm not sure I like you any more tho ... I'm 3 inches shorter than you, and 2 stone (and a bit) heavier And I've only had 1 baby!

becklespeckle · 19/04/2007 19:48

Hiya all, glad you got some answers Scorpio, with sore boobs and tears you could still be pg you know! Just ov'd later than you thought. Would love to be tall! I am 6 1/2 inches shorter than you and don't weigh much less and people are always telling me to eat more, you must be tiny!
When is AF due BbabyMumma? Bloody nature has a nasty way of tricking us doesn't it - do you usually get sicky when AF due? I just usually get sore boobs, bloating and spots - I don't even really get cramps and never before it arrives.

Lexie100 · 19/04/2007 19:52

Hi all.

Scorpio - good news in a strange kinda way. Glad you'r ok.

Tiger - i'm fine just waiting patiently for AF or a BFP.

Anyone else given in and tested today?? I must resist tomorrow. I may just have to go out all day so i can't be near a test .

Lexie100 · 20/04/2007 07:42

Morning - where are you all???

Still no AF, resisted the temptation to test this am .

What's the news today?

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 08:29

Well some exciting developments on here. Fingers crossed for Lexie, Beckle, Bbabymuma (cycle buddy), Scorpio and myself . Well I have a confession to make. Been feeling extra tired this week (went to bed at 9pm wednesday night and slept right through - v unusual for me as I usually go to bed around midnight or even later)so yesterday I did an ultra sensitive test and it was blank apart from the control line. It wasn't fmu so I did another one this morning and there was a v faint line. Repeated it and same thing. Now, has anyone used the babymad tests from ebay? It's just that looking at the instructions the two lines (control and test) should be closer together than mine are. Aaaaggggggggghhhhh, why do these things always seem to happen to me! I am still 4 days early. Maybe I should buy a first response?

goingfor3 · 20/04/2007 08:31

I was getting very feint lines with the babymad test and then my period started. I'm not going to use them again.

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 08:33

Also of Scorpio as I'm the same height but nearly 3 stone heavier. Was 10.5 pre ds which was about right for me, but finding it hard to lose weight and frankly don't see the point as ttc. Don't overeat or eat the wrong foods but should exercise more. Have started swimming again, so at least have started

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 08:36

Well they do say some women who get an early +ve go on to lose it and wouldn't have even known if they hadn't tested as it would just seem like a normal pg iyswim. Are there any other ultra sensitive tests that anyone can recommend?

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 08:37

Doh, I meant a normal period!

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 09:16

Oh and my nipples feel like glass. Don't usually get this pre period.

scorpio1 · 20/04/2007 09:16

Plummy-hold out on the testing!they are the devil in disguise.

buy a first response to do on the day you are due-if you are pg you will still be pg in 3 mornings time sweetie!(i know how hard and terrible it is waiting though)!

still no af here,sore boobs still.very confused but not bothered IYKWIM?TBH,not sure if im ovulating soon?the doc explained that because of antibiotics its basically an exempt cycle,so in theory i could and prob will ovulate without having a period.im starting to get signs of impending ov-and dp home all weekend!! if its not ov though, thats fine too, i'll just wait!

its so sunny and beautiful here today.meeting some friends for lunch today

everyone else, how are things?where is awen?is she ok?

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 09:20

Hmm I suppose you are right (as usual). My excuse for early testing is to know whether it's ok to have a glass or two of wine - but I doubt whether that would do much to the pg anyway. I think I'm just using it as an excuse!

tigerschick · 20/04/2007 09:30

Morning all!

Plummy - I really would wait if I were you. It's really disappointing to be looking at evap lines then get a bfn, trust me, I know! Fingers crossed for you - when is af due?

Scorpio - I think Awen has moved over to May. She seemed quite philosophical about it really.
You OK? It's strange about the anti-biotics, didn't they warn you when you were given them that they might mess with your cycle? Hope you have a nice lunch/

Dh and I had a row this morning coz dd was awake from 3.55 til 5.15 and he had to go to work at 6.00. He said I should just feed her but I don't want to get into that habbit. It's so tricky trying to balance both of their needs. But he's just texted to say sorry for being grumpy

plummymummy · 20/04/2007 09:48

I think my period is due tuesday.

tigerschick · 20/04/2007 09:53

Then relax and try to enjoy the weekend - the odd glass of wine will not make any difference (please don't shoot me!) and test on Tuesday if AF stays away

becklespeckle · 20/04/2007 09:54

Morning all! Looking good for a few of us now! Would be lovely for a few more of us to go over to Dec a/n thread! Was really good this morning and didn't do another test, am going to do one tomorrow cos it should be much darker if am pg. Feel sick this morning but I think that is nerves TBH. What are babymad tests? The ebay ones I used are these ones.

scorpio1 · 20/04/2007 10:10

plummy-if you want wine,have a glass or 2.it will be fine

Tiger-yeah they did tell me,i had to have them though,i was so ill!

Lexie100 · 20/04/2007 10:19

I agree with the hold off on the testing- oh it's hard but you never know how accurate these tests are. Plus there are so many stories on MN about evap lines etc. It isn't over till she arrives and i think it's better not to get BFN's for my mental health. Waiting seems to be easier, i think [humm].

3 days late now and DPO 13. So many of us so close now. I am getting excited for everyone.

cheechymunchy · 20/04/2007 10:46

Hi everyone, very busy at work today, but couldn't resist popping in as soon as I could. Still no sign of AF but have got godawful backache today. I think it's just stress at work and these dreadful chairs that is doing it. Still getting the twinges too. On 10dpo now, which is amazing for me. Am trying to just get through to perhaps Monday before I start testing.

How's everyone else?
