Yes me too. Period not due till 21st and I'm already twitching

PinkMartini · 11/07/2007 13:57

LoveAngel - I've never tested in my life before but felt lucky today. Wish I had sat on my hands as I got a BFN.

But I'm not due until Friday either so maybe it's all just a bit early.

LoveAngel · 11/07/2007 15:26

I've suddenly started feeling really pre-menstrual. Don't think this month is going to be my month :-(

EllieG · 11/07/2007 15:36

I'm exactly the same spugs! So crampy today but keep thinking 'well I was crampy when I was PG and thought it was AF so maybe....'
Silly me.

toomuchtimeonline · 11/07/2007 15:42

Having just come off the pill I don't know when my AF is due but working on ovulation date I think probably next Friday - that's 9 days away - yet I'm already wanting to test!! I have no willpower!!!

spugs · 11/07/2007 15:56

Pink (its NikkiBFG btw)- I tested twice when was on hols when TTC DS....both were negative....got back home and still no AF so tested about 4 days after AF due date and only then did I get a positive.....so....still hope!

Keeping fingers x's for you

PinkMartini · 11/07/2007 16:12

Hello! How are you!? Like the name change - is there a panto theme I missed??!

V encouraging about the BFN post holiday. Am holding on and keeping legs, toes and fingers crossed but trying not to get hopes up too if that makes sense.

(just posted on wrong thread! DOH)

PussinJimmyChoos · 11/07/2007 16:14

No, Shrek 3 is out and I just love the Puss in Boots character....

Really hope you get lucky....thing is...even though I had implantation bleed, I just thought my period was buggered up from being on hols...didn't even think I was PG!! Looking back on it, maybe the light should have started to dawn on the flight home when the cheapy airline ran out of sandwiches and I was so angry that the kid in front of me got the last sandwich and left half of it as was pretty hungry!!! lol!

PussinJimmyChoos · 11/07/2007 16:15

ooh gotta go - DS is awake and needs his mid pm snack!

Back later

toomuchtimeonline · 11/07/2007 16:25

[Waves back at PM] - liking the sound of BFPs after hols - just got back on Saturday too - fingers crossed!

Mamasgotabrandnewpigbag · 11/07/2007 21:43

Blimey ladies, I am in awe of your restraint! AF not due til Monday and I bought a load of cheap internet tests and do one every morning already (started about a week after ov as 'felt' pregnant!) I KNOW that I'll get a BFN, but I just can't help myself. (I blame using the wee on ovulation predictor tests, I feel like part of my morning routine is missing if there's no weeing on sticks!)

EllieG · 12/07/2007 08:55

Got my 3rd BFN this morning but still no AF!

toomuchtimeonline · 12/07/2007 10:30

sorry ellie - maybe the tests are not accurate enough to pick up low levels.. Monday may bring good news

EllieG · 12/07/2007 11:00

I am DEFO not testing again until Mon so don't get too disappointed if and when AF comes.

toomuchtimeonline · 12/07/2007 11:02

Has anyone else on this thread tested yet? Any good news? On this gloomy day I could do with something to cheer me up..

EllieG · 12/07/2007 11:11

Can't help you there. Could do with cheering up myself - trying to avoid doing meaningful work by being on MN.

wonkoswife · 12/07/2007 11:21

I tested with clear blue when I still had 2 days until AF was due. Then I convinced myself they were BFN because I tested too early. I tested again the day after AF was due and still got BFN. I really don't know why I bothered because I'd only just come off the pill and wasn't sure of cycle length anyway. Now I have AF and will be BDing for the next 3 weeks and then will probably test too early again!!! I feel better knowing that I am not alone though. Good luck and baby dust to everyone.

HolidaysQueen · 12/07/2007 15:28

Hello everyone - so glad to find you as I'm new to all this and thought I was a bit odd for having thought about nothing but testing all day!

First month of trying for me and AF due on Tues, so this is my first ever month of wondering if I'm pregnant and actually wanting to be (as opposed to the occasional slips where you are really hoping you're not!). I just bought some of those tests that you can do up to 4 days before and wondering if I can stop myself testing tomorrow morning even though I know it's likely to be negative. My problem is I don't like not knowing things so really want to know as soon as possible!!!!

Good luck everyone!

EllieG · 12/07/2007 15:56

Hold off as long as you can holidayqueen! 'Tis the way madness lies....

toomuchtimeonline · 12/07/2007 16:00

HolidayQueen - we're in the same boat! It's my first month off the pill and have just bought the first response tests which are apparently 4 days before AF - unfortunately not really sure when AF is due since I've just come off the pill.. how did you work yours out?

HolidaysQueen · 12/07/2007 16:48

Hi toomuchtimeonline (love your name - wish I'd thought of it first!)
I came off the pill a year ago so have been using diaphragm since then. Before I went on the pill they were once every 3 weeks and/or no period for 3 months (was diagnosed with PCOS) so I wanted to give myself plenty of time off the pill to see if they became more regular. For the last 3 months I've actually remembered to write down my period start date and they amazingly have been regular every 30 days (v. happy about that!) so have fair confidence in Tues being the day it is due.
EllieG - my plan is to try and forget tomorrow morning until after I've been to loo and then I'm away over weekend so won't take tests with me. So at least that should get me through to Monday without testing
