Just put down the "Early Detection" Pregnancy Test and no-one will get hurt! Anti-POAS April/May

[OracleInaCoracle]

Yes, its that time of the month, save your sanity (and the cash) by waiting as long as possible.

Hi all. (Hi Lissie, thanks for the invite )

I'm here because, well this is what I'm like!!

I'm going to try to wait to poas until I'm at least a day late. Fingers Xd my will power will hold out until then.

I'm off to bed now but I'll be back tomorrow to hold-hands or distract if necessary and hopefully you can help me do the same.

Nightnight

that sounds like a good plan, the longer you can wait the better!

nice to see you gluteus we shall distract you!

really pissed off, had a tiny bit of spotting last night (just a smear of brown) could be implantation, or could be my period. im sure i didnt ov til thurs 24th so its too early to test. period is due on tues so cant decide whether i should test on tuesday or leave t til thursday. the advice i would normally give is "wait til thurs" but with my history we need to know asap so i can be scanned and start taking the drugs. aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh when did it get so tough?

why are they so expensive??!!

can you imagine if they were cheap??

how many would we do?!

Hi Lissie, I have everything crossed for you (everything because I'm well passed OVing so no bding required )

I'm also expecting AF on Tuesday but will try to wait until Thursday (well, Wednesday but SSHHHH!!!)

I hope you come back to say you've not had any spotting since. Do you have to go on meds as soon as you get a BFP?

Chat you in a while.

thanks, well smear of brown has turned into full on spotting. so period is here. 3 days early ffs!

I'm sorry Lissie

Please excuse my ignorance but are you sure it still can't be implantation bleeding? I'm really not too sure how long that's supposed to last if it happens or what colour to expect. How regular is your cycle and would 3days early be something that's happened before?

i normally have a dead regular cycle, 2m ago my period was a week late. wasnt pg, was just late, last month it stopped then restarted, i doubt it is implantation, i dont feel pg at all!

how are you doing?

Ah that's really shitty. I don't want to get too personal, if you're sure, you're sure but remember if every pg woman 'felt' pg then we'd have no need for early detection or any other kind of test. Symptoms change woman to woman, pregnancy to pregnancy so if you're not in full flow then there's still hope.

I'm not too bad but cramping a lot. I'm hoping against all hope that it's not the usual af cramping. I have what I can only describe as twitching or bubbling below my navel and centered. I've never had this before so it's either a really good sign or I'm about to spend a long time in the loo with a pre-cooled loo roll I hate the way af symptoms change for me every month - for instance this month no sore bbs I get sore bbs every month!

I have tests but they're not ED ones so even if I wanted to pee on all 5 of them, I wouldn't be any the wiser. I decided today to wait until at least Thursday because I just don't want to see another bfn

good for you GM, leave it as long as possible!

well af turned up and is making up for lost time

im sorry

period still hasnt started. after my spotting yesterday morning, nothing. zilch. nada.
maybe i am still in the game after all...

Why are you sorry Lissie?

I'm going out now but just wanted to say hi and wish you the best for today. I'll pop back later this evening for a chat if you're about.

YNK I havn't read the whole thread and havn't chatted to you before so I debated leaving a message for you in case you felt I was butting in but I know that horrible sinking feeling when af arrives again and just want to acknowledge your post and hope you're doing ok. Take care.

GMM think the sorry was for me lol. thinking of you lissie! fingers crossed

thank you. no more spotting all day and dont really feel periody (not that thats any sign) but do feel odd. still, period isdue tomorrow. just hope it stays away!

this might be just the thread i need!

my cycle has been a bit iffy (part of the prob). I had an + OPK 15 and 16 days ago (didnt know you could get 2 days - there you go).

now Ive felt periody since Friday but nothing. I can tell DH is starting to get excited but doesnt want us to test.

I just know my period is going to arrive tomorrow, at work, and Im going to cry in the toilets!

so rubbish!

lots of luck everyone x

oh god, i know that feeling all too well. have you been to see the gp about your irregular cycle?

hi there. yes thanks but it is not too bad - only varies by 3/4 days - just enough to make it complicated.

Im trying really really hard not to get my hopes up (again) even though 16 days is I suppose a longish time since a positive OPK.

Have convinced self that my tits are heavier than usual. I swear, Id imagine I had a stripey green and purple face if taht was a common symptom of early pregnancy.

Why do our own bodies play tricks on us?!?

lol, i said to dh earlier that it would be fab if our nipples turned blue at the moment of conception!

Sorry for butting in but you make such a good point there, our minds are very powerful. I hope you're lucky this month. You too lissie
I am 2 days late and I know I'm not pregnant but can't help myself. I have prodded my boobs so much I have made them hurt

Im thinking of having a glass of wine to tempt fate.

This is the longest Ive managed not to test for AGES. Is killing me. I managed to get the OPK test to work. We even managed to have a shag on the right days. I keep telling myself Im not cause Ive had cramps since Friday, but I cant convince self.

Husband just asked why so quiet. Answer obviously as am obsessively surfing the Internet to find out how long after a positive OPK your period is supposed to come.

When did I turn into this?!?!

You're not alone here!! Set yourself a target day, then test if your period hasn't turned up by that day. I'm going for Thursday myself

Ive said Wednesday...but we shall see if I make it that long. The problem is the longer I leave it, the more crushing the BFN will be

What other symptoms do you have?
