Have been lurking on this thread for a couple of days now... I'm 11 DPO, temp is still up, tender boobs, lingering nausea all day long and just a general feeling. Same as I had with DD1. Don't want to get hopes up too much though... With DD1 I could hold off till 17DPO before testing, not sure this time around. Might need to though as DH is going to see his parents for a couple fo days next weeks and I know that if we find out before he won't be able to keep it from them He's french and I know that they'll be enjoying several glasses of alcohol with their evening meal and my DH gets very lippy after he's had a few

elsieanjoanne · 04/05/2007 10:07

meto · 04/05/2007 10:44

sorry about the BFN lissie - as you say might be due to the m/c.

mimi - ooh my outlaws are down as well - i'm going to hold off (hopefully) AF's due on weds, so knowing me i'll be testing from sunday lol) they leave on monday so i'll have to keep quite about it if it's a pos. good luck thou promising signs.

else - good luck to you as well, i'm due on the 9th so we can be testing buddies (as well as wheelybug form the may thread )

today I have copious amounts of EWCM again feeling sickish and still on the verge of tears as well bloody af hormones. on the plus we're childless today so time for DH/I time

CuriousSquid · 04/05/2007 16:03

congratulations pancha

well CD33 here of 36 day cycle ish and my nipples are KILLING. Hoping its not just a new pre af thing. Also feel like i am on the brink of tears which i am not usually. I can't test until tuesday at earliest as no money till then which happens to be when i am due on so.....

i have other things but i don't count them as sometimes i get them pre af - slightly crampy,breakout etc. i do have a wierd taste in my mouth but have drunk an awfully large amount of tea recently

CuriousSquid · 04/05/2007 16:04

i am mumofmonsters btw. changed for a discworld thread but liked it so am wearing this for a while

MrsMcJnr · 04/05/2007 16:34

Hey all

Lissie - hope it just too early for you this time hon. Don't worry, won't test until Weds, AF due Tues.

Fingers crossed for you all!

morningglory · 04/05/2007 18:31

I think I'm on the tww (don't know for sure as I had m/c beginning of April). Had EWCM and POK+ about 1 week ago, but dont' know if those things are reliable right after m/c. I'm imagining so many symptoms...most recently that I've gone off my favourite wine (champagne). Probably was just an off bottle. Still, DH thought it was just fine.

Just an odd question...how can one tell the difference between EWCM and his "leftovers"? Thanks in advance for any enlightening answers.

hi CS and morningglory, welcome to our band of non-testers! (apart from me)

OP posts:
AskABusyPerson · 04/05/2007 22:47

Oooops, count me in as a naughty early tester too ....serves me right to get bfn!

Am due Sunday and didn't read small print on tests I bought cheap today (hence early test as once bought I thought I'd better use one!) which said 'can tell you if you are pg from day your period is due' so either I'm not pg or it's too early to tell.....

Oddly no pre-AF signs yet although that could be wishful thinking.....I do need to pee a lot but I am drinking loads anyway - every time I go into kitchen for norty snack I have glass of water instead to stave off hunger pangs till lunch/tea etc.... I've not bitten off anyone's heads (usual for pmt) or had pre-AF signs in knickers but that could all happen tomorrow.......

Welcome MG, sorry without a microscope I don't know how you'd tell what was ewcm or dp! Good question though!

LilyLoo · 04/05/2007 22:51

good evening ladies not sure if i on wrong thread but i am here now. I think i am couple of days late now. I have been off pill for three months so not really sure on proper cycle. Have been pretty regular though at beginning of month. We have just been waiting to see what happens and am now couple days late i think ? Have just got my ebay tests today through post but haven't done one yet.

AskABusyPerson · 04/05/2007 23:01

Coo Lilyloo you must be strong to resist tests!! I considered doing mine in sainsbury's loo but managed to wait till I got home!! Was first thing I did before even unloading fridge/freezer shopping! Serves me right though as was too early to test.

Having read some other threads on conception some have got bfn even when they are late and think they are pg, so probably you ok to test though if you think you might be pg but get a bfn try again in few days to let levels of pg hormone build up in body to show in wee for test!!

Have you got any pg syptoms?

lissielou · 05/05/2007 08:21

well, af is due today and shes normally an early riser but no sign of her at all, dont know whether to test again tomorrow

OP posts:
morningglory · 05/05/2007 09:02

lissielou: if i was BFN yesterday, I'd wait until Wednesday (5 days)...if you can hold out that long.

I'm trying not to symptom spot as the chances that I could be pregnant are close to nil. Also, I have to remind myself that the two times I got BFP, I had not symptoms prior to BFP.

LilyLoo · 05/05/2007 09:17

not really i waa sure af was on way. Very pre menstrual last we/end and also sore boobs but that gone now and no sign of af.

elsieanjoanne · 05/05/2007 10:47

hi im joanne posted the other day so eager to test but got BFN yest so holding ou till weds when af supposed to come so not got norm pms just feel tired, piddlin loads an sooo tired! feeling really sicky! my body is screaming pg my head is screaming no your not sooo unfair! why doesnt weds come as fast as it norm does. good luck all you other waiters! x

meto gosh when will you be testing then i was hoping to wait till af due but as you prob no i sooo unpatient, said to my bf i wouldnt let a BFN bother me cause we have dd 11months elsie is great but i long for another! what about you x

mum2sam · 05/05/2007 11:18

RedLorryYellowLorry · 05/05/2007 11:20

Congratualtions!!

mum2sam · 05/05/2007 11:35

thankyou-i would def recommend the ovulation kits from ebay and also pre-seed first time using them both and now im preggers after 4mths of trying!

LilyLoo · 05/05/2007 13:49

took the plunge 'bfp' good luck to all still waiting x

MrsMcJnr · 05/05/2007 14:27

Morningglory yup the wine thing happens to me too! Sadly stayed with me for 4 weeks after the MC too so I couldn?t even drink myself numb I was a little off my wine last night too but think AF may be round the corner as I have TMI alert, organgey CM Fingers crossed for you. As for your question, if you have sex the night before, what you are seeing by noon is you. I did know a whay to tell with water and one dissolving in it and the other not but I think the noon rule is less fiddly!

Lissielou ? I tested it wasn?t even first pee I?m only 8 or 9 dpo too. It was BFN though less positive about things now have to say, what a silly girl I am! hope AF stays away!

Askabusyperson ? sometimes the urge to test is too strong! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!!

Lilyloo & Mum2Sam ? congratulaions!!

Come on ladies ? fingers crossed we all get BFPs!!
