Ooooh can I join please?

I am on CD24 out of a 29(ish) day cycle, had some symptoms, some strange ones, but am desparetly trying not to test every hour .

OracleInaCoracle · 27/03/2008 17:23

lol NJ, when will you test?

btw im only 2dpo but last month this thread kept me away from the HPTs til af was 4d late!

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 27/03/2008 17:41

I am trying to hold out at least until the weekend, but ideally would love to go further, I didn't get a BFP with DS2 until I was 9 days late, so I know it could be a long old haul yet!

4 days late though, that is impressive!

OracleInaCoracle · 27/03/2008 17:44

i know! im normally whipping out the clear blue as soon as my bums off the pillow

NatalieJane · 27/03/2008 17:54

LMAO, At least you wait till your bums off the pillow.....!

I must admit though, I am the worst one going for urging others to test, I am wondering if perhaps this wasn't the best sort of thread for me to join!

OracleInaCoracle · 27/03/2008 18:41

lol i shall keep you focussed.

I'm very pleased, this month I have got to 8dpo and haven't tested. If I can get through this weekend I'll be very pleased. Or even better get through to April!

OracleInaCoracle · 27/03/2008 19:16

Claire I've seen your chart it looks great!

I've entered the 2ww today and I hold my hands up and say I'm really norty at encouraging people to test.

ClairePO · 27/03/2008 20:46

Lissie due next Thursday - what about you?

Sorky my chart always has a tendency to look great, possible implantation dips, the occaisonal triphasic pattern, lovely high temps, I get them all! Until I get to 12/13dpo then the temp drops with a vengence, have learnt not to get my hopes up.

roquefortlover · 27/03/2008 20:49

Hello, can I join? I have been lurking for a while, got an early BFP (unplanned) last cycle but it turned out to be a chemical preg I think - AF came 6 days late. However it has made me realise that I do want another baby (wld be No. 4) so we are now ttc! AF due on Tuesday but given what happened last time want to wait until I am a week late to test....

ClairePO · 27/03/2008 20:52

Hi roquefortlover sorry about last month but wow going for your 4th well done! DP is one of four and says no way that many for us. But then again we're still trying for number one so getting ahead of myself there.

What CD/dpo are you on?

roquefortlover · 27/03/2008 20:56

Hi Claire, we always said no to 4 too and it is not necessarily the most sensible thing given work and other plans and the fact i am 40 but I think if we don't give it a go I will regret it! Not sure about DPO but I guess I am, erm, CD 24? Have been trying not too syptom spot but it's so hard isn't it?

roquefortlover · 27/03/2008 20:57

my typing is awful, apologies!

lennied · 27/03/2008 20:59

Hi, can I join too... am only CD20, and haven't done that many tests yet.

Am somewhere between 7 and 4dpo. Got a feeling I ov'd late this cycle, so should be 7 but I think more likely 4.

Went to ASDA for a new pack of Clearblue digital (they only come out if the cheapies call for it ). Got them home and the pack was empty. Some buggar had nicked them. Had to go back and explain to the customer service representative that yes I was stupid enough to pay £10 for an empty box .

ClairePO · 27/03/2008 20:59

I try really hard not to symptom spot but you can't not can you?

lennied · 27/03/2008 21:16

NJ - you live REALLY close to me! I am just the other side of Pendle , don't want to be too specific 'cos of my previous line of work! Wouldn't want too many of the pupils reading some of my posts!

NatalieJane · 27/03/2008 21:57

LOL thanks Lissie, focussed is what I need right now!

Claire, I am with you with the symptom spotting, I can't help myself even when we're TTC'ing, and even when my period comes, and even before OV'ing! LOL I think it is a pre-programmed trait of women.

Ooooh Lennied that is close!

I am waiting for my cat to come back, DH has come to take over my waiting though, so I am off to my bed, very early for me! (Symptom, very tired?!! )

G'night all

OracleInaCoracle · 28/03/2008 17:19

well, period is due on the 9th, so will be not testing until the 15th i think

OP posts:
ClairePO · 28/03/2008 17:30

I admire your restraint Lissie!

OracleInaCoracle · 28/03/2008 17:34

god, i'll probably fail miserably. the problem is i get bfp's quite early and when/if i do get pg i need a scan at 5w

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 28/03/2008 17:47

Evening everyone

I have been very good and not tested, am due on on Tuesday, getting very shaky now, don't think "I tripped on a HPT and pee'd myself" is a good enough excuse..... is it?!!

roquefortlover · 28/03/2008 18:02

Hi all, I am due on Tuesday too but am determined not to test till next weekend at the earliest! Not sure I
will make it, feeling crampy today but v sore veiny boobs, much more than usual. Who knows....

ClairePO · 28/03/2008 18:06

NJ pmsl

lennied · 28/03/2008 19:48

Also due on the 9th Lizzie, which is my birthday. Have 32 day cycles and previously have had BFPs on day 27/28 so prob won't wait until the 9th to test - although it can be a dangerous game as have had chemical pgs before.

RL - do you get sore boobs usually? I only get them when pg, so is a surefire sign for me. Unfortunately they lasted 3 months plus with DD which was a pain in the ar$e.
