hello all, hope you have a great holiday JLo2, good luck to all those who are feeling 'crampy' maybe its somethign mroe exciting than af pains and you will still get BFPs.

ok then - i have a question. I have no idea why as I am only CD20 today, but i tested with a first response this morning, wasn't FMU but just kind of happened. I actually threw it in the bin as soon as I'd done it because i realised it was too early!! When I got out of the shower, curiosity got the better of me and i had a quick look. There is the faintest (and by faint i mean you have to look at in the right way/light)second line. Do i trust this? I am obviously not going to get too excited until i hit my AF due date (next sat or sun) but anyone else got experiences of getting a faint positive so early?

I know i ovualte pretty early as i have shortish cycles so could this be why? or is it simply a mistake and i should just wait and test again next week?

any thoughts gratefully received,

littlemissmischief · 17/08/2008 15:42

Twoplease - If it helps I did a cheapy one firest and got a very faint line with my DS then tried a CB and got a much better line so if it was cheapy you could try that, otherwise I would suggest wait a couple of days then do another and hopefully it will be a nice clear line - fingers crossed for you x

bigtree · 17/08/2008 16:15

Hi girls,just checking in to say hello..
jlo2 thankyou for doing the list its nice to see how everyone is doing at a glance and i will not test till my name is at the top!Got a long way go yet cd9 today for me but never sure when i ovulate on my cycles so just going for it every other day..
Will be back in a couple of weeks,no doubt with a million (phantom)pg symptoms!!untill then
Good luck ladies x

tink08 · 18/08/2008 09:00

morning ladies ,
twoplease i would be jumping for joy if i were you and testing again a line is a line ! and a bfp on the thread would be a great boost
well i'm on my longest ever cycle now on cd35 and still no af or even feel like it ,
i was in bed asleep at 6.30 last night coz i was sooooo tired and i slept all night !!!
but did fr test this mornin and still bfn
not got a clue whats going on except obviously i'm hoping i'm pregnant but taking a while to get hormone levels etc ??
anyone else been pregnant before and taken ages to get bfp ??

twoplease · 18/08/2008 10:13

Hi all,

sorry to hear you still haven't got a BFP Tink - seems very strange and must be very frustrating for you. I think I have read other posts where people haven't got BFps for ages after AF due so keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'n not convinced about my faint line yesterday. had a look on the peeonastick website and think it might have been an evap line (although it was pink) - did another this morning which was BFN - i know it is very early days so am going to wait (like i should have done all along!) until Sat or Sun to test with my Clearblue trial test.

am thinking of fun things to do in the rain - have fun today all and fingers crossed for anyone testing

littlemissmischief · 18/08/2008 12:30

Hey Tink - I think ive said before on here but I fell pg with my DS on 30th January and did not get a BFP until 28th Feb so there is defo hope for you

Twoplease - Sorry about your BFN but good luck for the weekend x

sfxmum · 18/08/2008 12:33

hi all

just dropping by to wish luck to those testing

bamboostalks · 18/08/2008 20:51

Any luck anyone, we need a boost!!

littlemissmischief · 18/08/2008 21:00

Not got a BFP bamboostalks but boobs are very tender, have had a spot outbreak (i never get spots) and obviously still no AF so still saying positive (excuse the pun!)

leaky · 18/08/2008 22:22

I'm jealous of you littlemissmischief my boobs have tingled a little bit but then nothing today.I still need to wait 11 days til AF is due & the wait is unbearable.I just want to get some symptoms!!
Sad aren't we/I

littlemissmischief · 18/08/2008 23:25

Leaky please dont be jealous, im going stir crazy thinking have I got this symptom or not??? I have even been jiggling just to make sure they are still sore im so sad. Add on to that I have no idea when to test or when AF is due and it doesnt seem so appealing.

I know im lucky to still maybe be pg and dont get me wrong im so excited at the thought but like you say it is unbearable. The things we go through hey ladies, i think its about time the men have a go!

AbstractMouse · 19/08/2008 00:16

Game over for me, suppose I better start the june is an excellent month to have a baby thred.

tink08 · 19/08/2008 06:28

morning ladies , sorry abstractmouse good luck for your next cycle
I'm on cd37 today and still no af but we've just decided we're moving house so mega busy now !so maybe the stress is holding af at bay ?
will test again fri if still the same
good luck to any testers we need a bfp on the thread

twoplease · 19/08/2008 09:30

Oh No Abstract - what happened - - am i right in thinking you did have some BFPs? Sending you positive vibes

littlemissmischief · 19/08/2008 09:33

Morning everyone. Well woke up this morning with the an upset tummy and now got a cross between af pains and wind (sorry for the tmi) am really starting to believe I just have a stomach bug! Very nearly tested this morning but managed to hold off (looks very smug) dont know if i can hold on to this will power tho!

Hope everyone has a good day x

lillypie · 19/08/2008 09:54

Morning ladies was really hoping that someone would have some good news by now.

I'm on 11 days DPO with AF due on Friday,the waiting is unbearable!!!

Trying hard not to symptom spot or test in spite having a drawer full of cheapy dip stick tests!

I've been having slight cramping since DPO4 but I'm determined not to get my hopes up.

I won't test until Sunday if AF doesn't arrive

Good luck everyone

littlemissmischief · 19/08/2008 10:59

Lillypie - It is horrible waiting isnt it and is so hard not to take every niggle or pain as something positive!

Still got a few cramps in my belly but not as bad as have been, still unsure when to test or what to do to be honest???

Waiting2Exhale · 19/08/2008 13:54

Hi all, am back from my weekend break and excited that we may have a few BFP on the way.

Have updated the stats for easy ref, I hope I have it right.

lou031205 BFP
Abstractmouse BFN?

Abstractmouse, am alittle confused. Had you down for the last couple of weeks with a BFP. Is everything ok?

Tink08 - am bursting with anticipation for you

littlemissmischief - I know what you mean with the cramping. Am 9DPO at the mo, AF due at the weekend and I'm not sure whether to read the cramps as pre-AF or pre-pregnancy cramps. No real other symptoms other than gas. CM has finally dried up after several days of watery/creamy CM after ovulation.

So at the mo its:

  1. Cramps
  2. Gas
  3. No CM
  4. Hungry

Anyone else?

Waiting2Exhale · 19/08/2008 13:56

Oh...sorry for the long post

nervousal · 19/08/2008 13:57

still no AF here - buckled yesteday and did a test - BFN. Didn't do it first thing in morning though - so maybe still hope.

leaky · 19/08/2008 14:23

lou031205 BFP
Abstractmouse BFN?

cupcakeandtea · 19/08/2008 17:51

Hello Everyone

I just posted this on the PCOS site but I got a BFP this afternoon! I am in total shock because I thought the game was over on Sunday when I thought AF had started and I'm trying not to get my hopes up because it's early days. I've done two Clearblue digitals and i actually fell off the sofa when it said pregnant. Maybe the symptoms I had were actual symptoms after all. I really, really hope that lots of you get your BFPs too.

littlemissmischief · 19/08/2008 17:54

Hi Cupcakeandtea - Many many congrats to you

cupcakeandtea · 19/08/2008 17:57

Thanks Little Miss. I'm being very wary because I think i had an early miscarriage last month and i know how difficult the first few weeks can be but i've got everything crossed.
