OK...so I haven't been on for a while...mainly was too depressing as couldn't try to TTC as OH was still away. He's back now and [crosses everything humanly possible] hopefully will have a BFP in the next 2 weeks! I'm only at DPO3 but already symptom spotting (or as my friend pointed out...when I do it at work its just procrastination!!!)

So...any other symptom spotetrs out there??

I want shares in FR

cblivi · 13/06/2008 21:18

I wasted a FRER today (stark white BFN) so I'm hanging onto my one remaining FRER test until my cheapie tests are giving me more than just a faint line!

chilledmama - can't wait to hear how you get on in the morn!

emma2617 · 14/06/2008 10:07

cblivi I have wasted 2 FRER this month...this POAS lark is an expensive habit!!

chilled I'm on tenterhooks!! Seen as though I've promised myself I won't test til Monday I need to live vicariously!! I need some HPT results!!

Hope everyone is well this fine morning!

2beautifulgirls · 14/06/2008 10:18

Can i join please AF due tomorrow?!?
Tested today and BFN but have loads of symptoms!!!!!
Ordered 2 FR and 5 Ebay cheapies which were suppose to arrive yesterday however they still haven't arrived today so will be monday now if not lost by bloody Royal mail. So no more testing for me, i waste tooo much money on POAS.
What are everyones symptoms?

emma2617 · 14/06/2008 10:29

Hey there 2beautifulgirls come on in...join the party!!!

I'll be CD28 on Monday so I will be testing then too! I have had frequent weeing, light cramps about 6/7 DPO and been super tired! It's only cycle 1 so I'm not getting my hopes up quite yet!

What symptoms have you had??

2beautifulgirls · 14/06/2008 10:45

Are you ready for the list i have......

emma2617 · 14/06/2008 10:47

haha....I think so!!

2beautifulgirls · 14/06/2008 10:50

Creamy CM since OV
Cramps at 5/6 DPO
Feeling sick in afternoon
No apetite
Feel like i have been sucking on a 10p for past 3 days (DH asked why 10p not 50p,or 20p and how do i know what 10p tastes like)
Brain like mush, ie walked out of the house to car in slippers, forgetting peoples names etc.
Last few days pulling sensation in abdomen.
Feeling very tired in the afternoon
And lastly Check CP last two days and Thursday was very low and hard and dry
Friday Higher, soft and wet.
Gonna check agin in a little while.
Phew.... Do you think i'm obsessed?

2beautifulgirls · 14/06/2008 10:53

Oh forgot the headaches!!!

Are you trying to concieve your first DC? Emma2617

MisConDuct · 14/06/2008 11:02

I'm having one of those moments. Can't afford another baby. Can't fit another baby in. Last child was premature and it was stressful not sure if we could cope with that again. But I think I may be pregant and truthfully would love another. (head/heart and all that) Anyway I would only be three weeks if I was.
So I bought a load of those 10mIU and have done a couple. On both in certain lights I think I can see a very very faint line but then I start wondering if I imagined it. How early can they work? and also if I go back and look at it can a line appear if the test is old (say at an hour not the 5 minutes it says) ahhhhh

emma2617 · 14/06/2008 11:07

Yeah, its cycle 1 for DC1...so if it doesn't happen this month it is definately not the end of the world!! I have become sickeningly optimistic recently!

That is a lot of symptoms...and the whole metallic taste is very promising (unless of course you have actually been sucking on a 10p!!)

2beautifulgirls · 14/06/2008 11:21

MisConDuct, i'm afraid that you will drive yourself crazy with those 10mIU tests... Well i certainly did.
I bought some that had faint lines before 5 minutes then would fade after about an hour, i was not pregnant. I have had some that always have faint lines, even when i tested with Water???
I would not trust there result unless the line is very clear very pink and appears within the 5 minutes. Not sure how early they will work, think it is different for everyone, probably very earliest would be 10DPO about 4 days before period is due but even then might be too early.
I would wait until period is due (her who tests everyday from 10DPO )
I hope that you get the answer you want soon.

MisConDuct · 14/06/2008 12:16

Thanks for the reply. Ho hum guess I'll just have to wait.

ontheup · 14/06/2008 13:19

I had the metallic thing last night but its gone today - what does that mean I wonder???

2beautifulgirls · 14/06/2008 13:27

I seem to get it more in the evenings ontheup. But is still there slightly in the morning. Hope its s good sign for both of us

chilledmama · 14/06/2008 18:56

Well...I couldn't wait any longer and tested last night...I know...what was I thinking...v early and at night!!!!!
I couldn't look, then as I squinted furiously I was sure I could see an extremely faint line.
Tested again this morning and there it was...still faint but no squinting necessary!!!!!!!
BFP

After spotting on tue, AF started on thur (not due until sat) Its very light but I think its AF rather than implantation or anything. Its my 13th cycle of TTC.

imaginarybluelines · 14/06/2008 20:31

Hi there ladies.. just wanted to say congratulations chilled mama!! Fantastic news!! Can I ask - how many days early did you test with the FR?

Ses15 · 14/06/2008 20:36

Big congrats to McDreamy and Chilledmama!!! Fantastic news

Ses15 · 14/06/2008 20:38

Piggysneed - feeling for you. I'm going to be back ttc again in a couple of months as it looks like I did get pregnant again after mmc but have had another mmc. Back at the hospital on Monday.

emma2617 · 14/06/2008 22:36

Congrats Chilled poor DH...he sounds like he's in shock!!! So happy for you!

I broke and tested again BFN, but even the control line was seriously faint so I'm just going to ignore it!!

Hope everyone s doing good...we've got 2 BFPs in 2 days...we need to keep the momentum!!!

chilledmama · 14/06/2008 22:41

Oh Ses thats miserable, I'm so sorry. Any ideas why? hope you get lots of information when you're at the hospital and things look better.

I'm DPO10 today but have a 30 day cycle and wasn't expecting AF till Friday really...fingers crossed for that one! Natural changes to hormone level can trigger things...thats the danger in HPT that are so early...longer to worry.
