...to stop themsleves from reaching for a test too early? AF not due until Friday and I'm dying to test already...

Same here - first month ttc after being on pill for 13 years! It took 50 days to get my first period after stopping pill, and now on cd33. Was hoping I would get back to a 'normal' cycle straight away - but on CD33 and still no sign of AF - I couldn't help but test on Monday just in case but BFN Can't help hoping now that I am pg and just tested too early..

Then again at least if my af arrives I'll know a bit better what my cycle might be..I'm just hoping 50 days is a first month blip.

All this not knowing is really driving me insane, and it's only the first month!

meandmy · 13/07/2007 10:18

hi ladies im on cd28 and my cycle norm 28-30 days havent tested yet even though got stash of clearblue in the cupboard, dont feel pg have had crampy stomache, if af not her by midweek i will test i suppose

EllieG · 13/07/2007 10:52

Same here! Am NOT testing til Mon if AF still not here then

ClaireHappyGal · 13/07/2007 10:56

Hi to every1. I thought I might as well join this thread.

I am currently on CD16 of 31. Really hopeful this month been trying for past four months and tried to everything right. Now have to wait 'till 28th to test, if I can wait that long. Not tested so far as AF always arrives the day before I decide I am going to test.

I never had a problem with 2dd's both were conceived on first attempt. Think that this time I am overly concerned, thus putting on stress.

DH getting upset too when I tell him AF arrived.

I think I ovulated a couple of days ago, (you know when you know), but yesterday, I had the most terrible of pains really low down. Today, it is not too bad, but still there. I will need to keep an eye on it though.

Keep posting

Rantmum · 13/07/2007 11:12

Me too - AF due on 21st too. Fingers crossed!

Rantmum · 13/07/2007 11:17

I have convinced myself that I must pg - feel the odd twinge in my abdomen and think "something is going on!", also I am sure that I am peeing more often and I am having the odd wave of nausea and feeling tired. Of course, I could just be wound up and desperate to see signs where there aren't any, and tired from running after ds. Still, if AF comes I will be really disappointed!

toomuchtimeonline · 13/07/2007 11:18

HolidaysQueen - thanks - my name is a true reflection of me as I really should do more work and less posting . Sounds like the pill should be well and truly out of your system by now so fingers crossed for a BFP for you soon

MonthlyM - sounds like we're going through similar things atm - hope you're not in for a 50 day slog this month too

meandmy and ellieg - you have such restraint! I'm CD26 with a cycle length of god-only-knows and I'm gagging to test..

ClaireHG - It's so hard waiting isn't it.. How old are your DDs?

Rantmum - love your name

EllieG · 13/07/2007 11:18

Same here rantmum! Have almost convinced self am PG

Rantmum · 13/07/2007 11:19

I know that it is stupid and risky, but I can't help myself!

toomuchtimeonline · 13/07/2007 11:19

Rantmum - sorry cross posted - Hope your signs are good for you - I feel something "going on" down there too - just hoping it is not my AF arriving..

How old is your DS?

Rantmum · 13/07/2007 11:21

ds is 2.5, so would like to get pg soon so that the gap is not too big that they can't ever play together.

toomuchtimeonline · 13/07/2007 11:22

Ooo - a big brother - that will be fun for any new baby!!

Rantmum · 13/07/2007 11:22

tmto - appreciating your name too - it certainly applies to me as well!

toomuchtimeonline · 13/07/2007 11:25

I know - I was bad enough on Fridays at work before I found MM - now I rarely get anything done before lunch..

AF due today but not here yet. Feeling all the classic symptoms of getting my period, but still holding out a little bit of hope (this is only my first month of ttc no.2, so don't even know why I am so desperate already..?). Won't test until Monday if AF still hasn't come, but got a feeling it will be here by tomorrow. hate the way my mind plays tricks on me and convinces me I'm pregnant when I know I'm not!

wonkoswife · 13/07/2007 12:48

I am glad that I'm not alone. I was actually being sick every morning for about a week and it must just have been my subconcious convincing me that I was pg because I wanted to be. I have also just come off the pill and had a 46 day cycle. Got AF 3 days ago and the only thing for it is to BD as often as possible I suppose. I am ttc DC 5 and can't believe that I am getting so uptight about it.

kayjayel · 13/07/2007 13:14

Can I praise you LoveAngel for holding out, and simultaneously confess my 8dpo testing . I know... Think I need to staple rather than sit on my hands...

ClaireHappyGal · 13/07/2007 13:56

My DD's are 8 and 12, there will be quite a gap. But I am living abroad for a few years so thought that opportunity would be nice. I am unable to work here and we always wanted a bigger family so it was an ideal decision to make.

My life here is lovely and all the warm sunshine is making me feel great. I might be a little lost in the feel good factor since moving away from my own country and all that rain and depressive work/cleaning cycle I had entered. Here I feel that I have so much more, I enjoy my routines, even the cleaning.

I suppose that is why I am ClaireHappyGal

BFP at lunch time on a supermarket cheapy after a shadow on a internet cheapy this mornig. Was faint but definitly there. So busy hoping like mad that it sticks and all is good Im 4+3 by my calculations.

toomuchtimeonline · 13/07/2007 14:28

Huge congrats Spugs!!!! [big high five]

You must be over the moon!!

toomuchtimeonline · 13/07/2007 14:28

Is it your first baby?

kayjayel · 13/07/2007 14:29

huge congrats! Did you resist early testing?

spugs · 13/07/2007 14:32

No I tested on cd28 with internet cheapy and got shadow of a line but only if examined in minute detail. BFN cd 29, then this am hint of a line on internet cheapy and at lunch time a definite (but not as dark as contrl) bfp on asda cheapy. Feel sick, crampy and knackered but thought it was pms and work. Never makes any diff if im preg or af though always have the same symptoms.

Treenie · 13/07/2007 14:43

Hi Ladies
have posted this on my usual ttc thread but thought I'd also ask you as this seems the most appropriate place!
Thanks

Ok I have a question? If you see a faint line about 10 - 15 mins after weeing on the test can that be classed as a positive?!

Bought a pack of Sainsburys tests last week. Did one mega early and it was completely negative - not a single hit of a line in the box - nothing. Chucked it back in the packet for some reason and back in the drawer - I know that sounds minging and I should have put it in the bin but I didn't.
Anyway, did the second test from the packet today and is showed a mega faint but entirely visable blue line. Got the old one out and it still looked blank.
So I'm thinking surely if there was going to be an evaperation line show up on these tests it would have appeared on the week old one ages ago? I.e. the one I did today was a positive just took a while to show up?

Longwinded I know but it needed some explaining! What does anyone think?
Thanks!
