Right, not going to test until AF due, not going to obsess over sore boobs, not going to think about baby names, not going to give up alcohol. Anyone want to join me in pretending to not obsess about symptoms/lack of?

I've just spent lots of money online buying bras. Surely now I will be pregnant so my boobs get bigger and bras don't fit.

fruitynutty - it's just crap isn't it.

still no af for me - cd32 now. Who knows, getting rather bored of this 2ww now! Tested this morning (don't tell dh as I said I wouldn't) but still BFN so unless af arrives I really am not going to poas until Monday.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

FruitynNutty · 16/05/2008 19:45

Yup bamamama it's is crap . One thing that's weird though is my temp went down yesterday when AF started but not below the coverline. Then this morning it shot right up again, very very very weird.

It went from 36.48 yesterday to 36.71 this morning. I'm sure it will go back down tomorrow but surely your temp should be going down at the beginning of a cycle? I think PCOS is playing games with me again

bamamama · 17/05/2008 03:09

ah well, that's that. Af has arrived. Knew we wouldn't be that lucky first month of trying, just annoying that my cycle is all over the place!

have a good weekend everyone.

Where is everyone at?

Still no AF for me which makes me cycle day 30 but cycles have been as long as 35 in past so who knows. Have cold so whole body off balance so don;t knwo what is cold and what is other symptoms. eg feel thirsty and sick, but that is probably because I am bunged up.

Am on CD19 now, according to FF 10DPO so might test at the end of this week. I don't think we've done it, after all is first cycle of trying. Have been trying my best not to symptom spot as well....

yesterday afternoon I thought I had the faintest glimmer of a line on a first response test, as in so light I would have thought I imagined it except I did another one in same box with same wee and no line at all and there was a difference between the two, Today two tests - tescos own and first response, and both BFN, Still no AF though.

OP posts:
bamamama · 19/05/2008 11:19

I may be out of it for this month (CD3 today woohoo) - but good luck to everyone else who's on the dreaded 2ww (I have convinced myself I'm bound to be successful next month as it would mean that 3 out of 4 of us would have Feb birthdays....)

2beautifulgirls · 19/05/2008 11:37

Morning everyone, sorry about not being on over the weekend.
Sorry to hear AF came Bamamama Positive thinking is the key for next month

Still looking good for you yellowflowers What CD are you on now?

babyignoramus Fingers crossed for you.

Well AF came Yesterday morning for me. I'd just dipped the HPT in the pot and then looked down and well you know the rest!!! Typical if you want your period to start do a HPT. But not a normal Period, very light, no PMS or cramps?

Had a nice weekend with the DD's, hope everyone else had a good one too.

Fingers crossed for you all.

Well if my period came on the day I think it did last month then I am now CD32. Cycles can be anything from 28-35 though last 4 months been 28. But last month period stopped and started quite a lot so I am not 100% sure which day I started.

also this morning it was 2nd pee as was desperate but no tests so had to go to shops after pee, but didn't drink anything between 1st pee and 2nd pee so should be the same shouldn't it?

OP posts:
bamamama · 19/05/2008 12:17

2BG - sorry to hear you're out too. Blardy typical, to have to waste a hpt! (speaking as one who wasted 3!) Ah well, may see you on due Feb 09

yellowflowers - still looking good for you! We've got to have a least one bfp on this thread

yellowflowers · 19/05/2008 13:03

well just did another first response - 3rd of day so silly me and bfn. will let you know. Have felt periody for last 4 days though.

SweetieDarling · 19/05/2008 18:27

Hello all! Good luck yellowflowers, if you got a faint line on 1st response you could well be onto something!!

Sorry to hear you are out 2BG and bamamama. I am sure I will be joining you soon for the due Feb 08 round (ding ding, c'mon girls). On CD25 today and could not resist doing HPT earlier, and natch, it was -ve. Well I am four days early and even with Clearblue (ooh, I gone all posh) it is only 53% correct at -4 days. I was sort of convincing myself I could see a verrry faint line but was just clutching at, er, HPT's, I guess!!! I'm just too impatient. Am now going to give myself a stern talk and make a decision not to test again until Saturday, which would be CD30. Those tests ain't cheap...

Did clearblue digi today and got a BFN, though still no period.

OP posts:
2beautifulgirls · 20/05/2008 09:30

Morning.

yellowflowers it ain't over until you get the BFP
Youmay have ovulated late and therefore won't get a BFP until late. Still looking good.
SweetieDarling how are you feeling anymore testing?

Original poster
yellowflowers · 20/05/2008 09:59

thanks 2beautifulgirls though I'm not hopeful, because I know we BD'd on cd 14, 15, 16 but then not again until cd 21 so unless a whole week late, or clever sperm surviving for days, then unlikely. Oh well...

OP posts:
bamamama · 20/05/2008 10:54

yellowflowers - you never know....!

Well, today I found out that someone else I know is pregnant which takes the tally for this year up to 12. I wasn't really too bothered about getting a bfp this month as it was our first one trying but all these pregnant people are making me think it's all a little unfair! [sorry for myself emotion]

2beautifulgirls · 20/05/2008 17:53

well i have gone officially crazy, they should lock me up. I'm still POAS on CD3????
Why? Because i can't stop needing to go pee!!! Like every 30 mins or so. This is so not like me usually go 3 times a day max
And my period was unusual, very short, light and no cramps So as you do i convinced myself i must be pregnant but one of those that still have periods
I did have a faint positive yesterday on 1 of the 3 HPT and out of the 3 i have done today if i twist and turn in certain lights i can maybe see a very very very faint line
Why oh why do i do it to myself and why can't i just except a BFN and throw all the tests away?

SweetieDarling · 20/05/2008 18:59

Hi 2BG, "those" periods do happen to people (I read Take a Break, full of surprise babies born in shopping centre loos when the mother has been bungee jumping the week before and going on the razz every weekend, with periods, not knowing they were pg!! so it could be the case! I certainly hope so.

Bamamama - know how you feel, it is awful being stuck on the happy/sad seesaw when someone else announces their news

yellowflowers no AF still means there is a chance! Good, no, Great luck to you.

Well, I broke my own promise not to test - did a cheap Tesco one mid afternoon today (BFN in case you think I'm doing that suspense thing ) when I didn't even really need the loo hence a trickle to test with [stupid emoticon]. I justified it by telling myself they are only £2.50 ish each so just the same difference as buying an impulse scratch card ... Tesco tests don't even bother to have a horizontal line in the test window to show you ain't pg, it really is a big moon-like slap-in-the-face plain white window. Like you're so not pg they can't even be bothered to put the horizontal lines in. Pah pah and pah.

Still no AF tho and although I have had minor cramps I am convincing myself they aren't "exactly" the same as AF cramps. Amazing suspension of belief. I am still staring at the evaporation line faint positive on the Clearblue. Need to be stood under the spotlights in the bathroom to see it, but still.

Hello,

Still no AF though have decided to expect it on Sat instead as sometimes my cycles are 35 days. Do feel sick but still have cold so maybe that's it.

Anyone else still waiting?

OP posts:
2beautifulgirls · 22/05/2008 09:55

morning everyone

Any more testing yellowflowers SweetieDarling Both of you have to get a BFPfor this thread.

Well i'm still feeling weird, still weeing all the time and still POAS everyday still seeing very faint positives!!!! Not sure what is going on with my body. Got my smear today aswell

babyignoramus · 22/05/2008 10:18

Assuming I'm on a 24 day cycle (with ov on day 9 I think it must be!), I'm due on Sat, but feeling very periody (is that a word...?). Headache & PMT yesterday, cramps and legs that feel like they're about to drop off today. Will let you know!

babyignoramus · 22/05/2008 17:51

AF is here. Probably TMI but it's the brightest pink I've ever seen!

SweetieD · 22/05/2008 19:39

Hi all. Sorry to hear you got AF babyignoramous.

2BG - I don't think it'll happen! I am on cd28 today and no sign of AF. I did my last HPT yesterday (seemed rude to leave it on its own), a cheapie Tesco one, was BFN. So supposedly still in the running however I don't feel esp pg or PMT, had what I thought were cramps but turned out to be wind yesterday - had too many sweets in the afternoon - but back to normal today. I am now assuming I must be on a 30 or 32 day cycle. There's only one thing worse than getting AF... that's NOT getting AF without being pg!

Am going to buy on of those Persona thingies, whatever they are and however they work. All this talk on other threads of ov days on cd 23,25,4 of a 28 day cycle has given me the jitters. Really can't keep up BD EVERY OTHER DAY whether we feel like it or not for a WHOLE MONTH (or longer). I need my sleep and my nightly application of fake tan . Plus it gets boring
