Can I join? I'm 3DPO and on cycle 9, TTC#2. LP is normally 14days and I'm going to try my best not to test early this time!! What about you?

ScaryHairy · 24/07/2008 22:49

Can I just point out that the FR claim to detect HCG 6 days "before your missed period" if you read the leaflet in the pack actually means... 4 days before your period is due - i.e. 10 DPO.

The example they give is that if you are due on day 21 (i.e. your period would be missed by day 22), you can test on day 17.

So, nice try FR, but it is in fact exactly the same as your old test, just expressed in a slightly different (misleading) way to boost sales.

Grrr.

Haven't yet ovulated, but will be resisting the urge to test as much as I can this cycle!

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 25/07/2008 08:56

Can I join please??? AF due on Sunday but am praying it doesn't arrive, lol!!!

Am not testing, will just see if AF arrvies or not and then test to see. Plus I don;t have any spare cash until the beginning of next week anyway, so that helps!!

My best mate said she has 3 tests in her drawer at work, lol! She said I can have one but only after Sunday!!!

EmmaBlemma · 25/07/2008 14:02

Count me in!! I am 11dpo and did get carried away on day 8 with a first response, BFN obviously...

It's my 1st month ttc no1 so hopefully I can be forgiven!! However I have (fingers crossed) changed my ways and will wait with you girly's until day 14...

OracleInaCoracle · 25/07/2008 14:52

HappyNewYearFeet06 · 25/07/2008 19:22

Step away from the early test busylady.

!!!!

EmmaBlemma · 26/07/2008 09:54

I am 12dpo today, woke up with a nice high temp then 5 mins later realised I am spotting with v mild cramps ...

I was on the mini pill for 2yrs with no periods at all so can't remember what my cycle was like. This is my 1st month ttc and 1st month charting. Luckily everything has started to work straight away...

Has anyone experienced high temps with af?? Also is it possible to bleed around time period is due and be pregnant?? To be honest its this high temp that has thrown me.

I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas

OracleInaCoracle · 26/07/2008 11:23

busylady, just think of that nice fat bfp that you will get if you are up the pole and you wait until 14dpo to test.

emma, implantation can occur around the time your period is due. wait until tuesday and test if your period hasnt arrived by then!!

EmmaBlemma · 26/07/2008 11:31

Thanks lissielou, Will wait to see how my temps go and test 14dpo on monday.

Be strong everyone!!

OracleInaCoracle · 26/07/2008 19:10

remember, high temp is still a good sign. it int over til the red witch sin gs!

OP posts:
HappyNewYearFeet06 · 26/07/2008 20:05

Lol at red witch lissielou!

I am possibly due a visit from the red witch tomorrow. at tmi!!

I thought I had a couple of symptoms but am really unsure now. Just so want a BFP but I refuse to do one until Monday maybe even Tuesday as I will see my best friend Tuesday evening and she said she has a ready supply of pg tests, lol!

Good luck to everyone still waiting and resisit the early tests. RESIST!!!!!!!!!

OracleInaCoracle · 27/07/2008 08:45

happynewyear, hope she stays away! definately wait til tuesday, esp if you can get a free hpt.

Hi, can i join in on here, im due around 4th , but really dont hold much hope this time, i think we BD alittle too late and my boobs are sore and feel just the same as they always do at this time in my cycle, so i guess im not going to have a happy result

EmmaBlemma · 27/07/2008 09:21

Looks like I'm the first one out . Was in denial yesterday but a/f well and truely here... I am a little dissapointed but only my first cycle ttc so can't complain too much!!

Lots and lots of luck to you ladies, I'll be checking in on your progress xxx

OracleInaCoracle · 27/07/2008 13:27

emma, im so sorry, hoping next month will be more successful.

ebeson, welcome to non-testers anon, what cd are you on?

RipMacWinkle · 28/07/2008 06:51

Can I join lissie?

By my calculations I think I'm 3DPO. So I@ve got a while to wait and I think it's going to be the longest two weeks ever!

OracleInaCoracle · 28/07/2008 09:03

of course you can! just think of that fat bfp.

think i will be out soon lades, had period cramps last night

OP posts:
HappyNewYearFeet06 · 28/07/2008 09:16

Morning, I haven't had anything as yet and was due yesterday. A bit dubious as to if that is a very accurate date but nothing today yet either.

My best friend is coming round tomorrow to take the kids to the park, she is coming armed with a HPT too!!!!

Hi to all who have joined.

funtimewincies · 28/07/2008 20:22

Hear hear! AF is due somewhere around the 13th August, so getting that single-minded stary look that hubby dreads around this time .

I've got First Response left over from last time though - does that count?

HNYF - fingers crossed, now that's what I call will-power!

RipMacWinkle · 29/07/2008 09:38

Any news from anyone?? Really want to hear about some BFPs....

OracleInaCoracle · 29/07/2008 10:17

lol, still no af and still not testing. had no more cramps since sunday, so fingers crossed that my period isnt actually on its way!!!!

OP posts:
RipMacWinkle · 29/07/2008 11:41

Ooh lissie - that sounds so promising.

I had cramps very like AF just before I got a BFP with DS. Keeping everything crossed for you.

I'm only 4DPO. Agggggggggeeeeeeeeeessssssss to go yet
