I am due between June 21st and June 28th. Will be on holiday most of that time though - am trying to debate whether to take test stick with me. If due 21st then probably didn't BD at right time, if it's a 35 day cycle though I will have.

Great to wait with you...

I'm symtom spotting like crazy - lots of creamy cm , very tired and very tender boobs, oh and horny which is not like me! Now excuse me while and go and find that big straw I'm grasping at

cherubtastic · 17/06/2008 20:44

Lol Alibobster - that straw might not be so big you know! Symptoms sound promising.

I caved tonight - really bizarrely for me as I ALWAYS do early tests with FMU and I had just drunk a bottle of water but the constant sickness did it for me and I did a test and got a faint line!!!!!!!! OMG OMG! The only downer is that they were ebay 10ml cheapies and I read a thread the other day with someone saying they always get a faint line with them So will do a 1st response in the morning.

Dare I mention it without a full bfp but twins actually do run in my family

tomtum · 17/06/2008 21:23

Fingers crossed cherubtastic

imaginarybluelines · 17/06/2008 21:32

Ooh how exciting cherub. Fingers crossed for you! Is it more likely to be twins then if you get an early positive?

cakesandchocolate · 17/06/2008 21:50

Can I join in too? Please, please!
Am due on more like 22-26th - who knows, periods gone haywire since started ttc in Jan. Have had 2 BFP's followed by AF next day - takin the piss i think- but no sign of +ve for last 3 mo. Other than imaginary sore boobs etc. And a squillion quid wasted on tests.
Anyway am currently knackered and sore boobied. And hopeful

Alibobster · 18/06/2008 08:20

Cherubtastic, any news yet? Have everything crossed for you x

cherubtastic · 18/06/2008 09:23

Hiya, didn't have a FR as I thought - must have gone into testing overdrive last month! Also missed FMU but have just done another ebay cheapie and have the same faint line. This is after having to take the radiator off the wall to retrieve it and the pack it was resting on!!! Dont leave them precariously balance on top of radiators ladies

So i'm in the same position really. How's everyone else? - who's given in - please say I am not the only one with no willpower

cherubtastic · 18/06/2008 09:25

IBL - I was reading another thread where they reckoned if you felt sick really early - like days after OV rather than weeks, it could be higher levels of HCG which can be a result of multiples

queenie1 · 18/06/2008 11:07

Hi all. Still symptom spotting. Boobs a bit tingly (but might not mean anything as get this before AF too), sure I felt a bit queasy earlier (but not sure as never have before in my early pre-MC pregs), and have some slight abdominal twinges (as I usually do anyway before AF).

I'm either CD 23 or 25 (depending on whether I count brown spotting on full on red gush as start of last AF) and have cycles ranging anything from 25 to 35 days. Judging by EWCM think I ov'd CD 11 or 12 ish...So...HOW SOON CAN I TEST?!?!?

Promised I would be cool, calm and collective this month but obviously now driving myself mad!

queenie1 · 18/06/2008 11:41

Whoops. In my (premature) excitment counted days wrong. If AF counts from start of brown blood, I'm CD 23. If AF counts from start of full on bleed, I'm CD 21. So I guess too early to test???

NotSoNewAnymore · 18/06/2008 12:13

Hi,
Sorry I haven't posted recently but am traveling on business, a real interference with my Mumsnet addiction!!

Cherubtastic I temp, and apparently you sometimes get a large dip in temperature between 5 and 12 days after ovulation if an egg implants. If your temperatures go up again after that dip it COULD be a sign of pregnancy. Of course it isn't always a sign....but I am clinging to my hope Good luck for your FR HPT

tomtum My dip was a 5dpo!!! How exciting. Fingers (and toes) crossed for both of us.

I am not sure how many other symptoms I am imagining but I have been really nauseous lately and SOOOOO thirsty. I can't stop drinking water. I caved in and did a test yesterday (the things you do when bored in bland hotel rooms) but it was BFN. I am telling myself that it is too early. (it was 9dpo...cd23)

Hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there.....

queenie1 · 18/06/2008 12:19

yes i just tested too (CD 21 or 23 - not sure!) and BFN. Not so New, I too am telling myself it was too early and continuing to hope...

cam75 · 18/06/2008 12:47

hi all,
just to let you know that damn af made an appearance!!!! I can't beleive it but i am not going to get upset either.
I have just started my clomid today so here we go agagin. Plus i think i may have so acupunture to help.....

i didn't even have time to buy a pregnacy test (wink)

imaginarybluelines · 18/06/2008 18:47

That's very promising Cherub. Are you going to test again tomorrow? Looks like a positive though!
Queenie1, I too tested yesterday and BFN but am also telling myself it was too early. I was CD24 (I think). Still holding out hope. Have run out of tests and money now, so am forced to wait to see if period comes or not on Sat. May then retest on Sun if not. (Bet I crumble and buy more tests sooner. I seem to have no will power at all. It would be so much easier and less stressful if home pregnancy tests didn't exist. Or if I was banned from buying them!)
Cam - I think you definitely have the right attitude - will probably be seeing you on here same time next month!

How's the symptom spotting going? I am still having crampy pains - had them all day today. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

tomtum · 18/06/2008 19:37

Can't face doing a test because I'm sure it'll be a BFN - don't feel pregnant enough, if you know what I mean. Sore boobs, but nothing else to speak of!

Cam75, sorry about your AF. Acupuncture sounds good - I had a friend who says it worked for her.

cakesandchocolate · 18/06/2008 19:50

Hi, does anyone have any info on early sickness - have felt nauseus today (8dpo) and retched - once over a particularly stinky nappy and another stinky bin!
Just seems way too early to feel sick? All in my mind maybe?
cherubtastic - you are not alone in the lack of willpower department - I tested (BFN) 2 days ago and again today (weird inconclusive, the control line almost not there and the results window all hazy.)
Am resisting the 2nd in the pack. I know I will cave...

cherubtastic · 18/06/2008 20:25

Sorry the witch got you this month Cam75 but great attitude.

I've got af type cramps today and have felt sick ALL day, eaten sod all I will test tomorrow morning - and every morning for the next 6 weeks if it definately is +ive

I'm sure that early sickness is a sign C&C - I what else explains nausea at set times, smell retching etc (dont answer that - I'm living in my fluffy bubble of optimism) I started on 7/8dpo too.

Good luck to everyone testing tomorrow

cakesandchocolate · 18/06/2008 20:57

Can't understanding retesting after a positive? My best friend (29wks with 1st after 1 yr ttc, hurrah!) tested 12 more times after first bfp and some of those after all ok scan at 8 wks!!

cabbagepatchkid · 19/06/2008 08:58

Am packing bag now and trying to decide whether to include test!

Won't be on email on homliday so good luck all and hope to read of some BFPs when I get back.

CBK x

cherubtastic · 19/06/2008 09:05

Take it!!! I'm not due until Sat and there's no way that I could wait even until due day to test - the thought of not being able to poas fills me with fear Imagine not knowing whilst you're away! I would constantly be wondering and not be able to relax and enjoy the hols. If you take one and it is -ive at least you know then and can concentrate on the hol and if +ive - celebrate!!!

I did a FR this morning and got a nice pink line - yay!

Alibobster · 19/06/2008 09:10

Congratulation Cherub, that is wonderful news xxx

NotSoNewAnymore · 19/06/2008 09:39

Congrats Cherub!! That is fantastic...

Cam so sorry about AF, but well done on having such a positive attitude.

Everyone else...I am also wondering about nauseus being a symptom. For the last few days I have woken at 3 / 4 am feeling queasy and can't brush my teeth without gagging. I remember it so clearly from my first pregnancy - but am not sure that it started QUITE so soon!!

queenie1 · 19/06/2008 10:19

cherub - great news! But put the tests away now. You ARE PG!!

CandC - sickness sounds very promising. Lets keep fingers crossed. On weird inconclusive test, same happened to me this morning! (which also means a confession that, yes, despite being CD 22 or 24 I tested again )

IBL - like me, testing far too early.

I have now promised myself I won't touch another test until next Wednesday if AF has not arrived. Now just to stick to the promise (not likely!).

Still have sore-ish boobs but nothing else. keep dreaming about baby's but they are always someone else's. convinced myself that this is not my month (and scared that it never will be - do any of you feel like this?).

queenie1 · 19/06/2008 16:26

okay. weird.

that inconclusive test from earlier (no control line, hazy results window like c and c had) - well checked again this afternoon and the control line has come up (albeit very thin) but so has a PG line (again very thin).

Know enough to know this means nothing. but still taking it as a potential sign.

Cam - sorry to hear AF got you.

imaginarybluelines · 19/06/2008 17:58

Big congratulations to you Cherub!! Hang around and make us all lucky though. Were you testing with first response?

Queenie - when is your period actually due. Mine is Sat - but it might not come anyway as I am thinking my cycle might be irregular due to breast feeding.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Needed to do that. This weeks waiting has driven me absolutely crazy. feeling sooooo achy and crampy for the last 3 days.

Argggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Why oh why do pregnancy tests exist? Apart from to tempt and torment poor, mad, vunerable me.

How am I ever going to make it to Saturday? And beyond? I can't do this for another month!

Queenie - that was weird about the test. When will you test again?

Cabbagepatchkid - don't take a test if you are strong enough to not crave one wheilst you are there! They are evil. evil I tell you.
