I've got everything crossed for you fairy Everything sounds promising. When do you think you might test? I'm so excited for you

fairywing · 07/09/2008 13:23

Getting more and more tempted to just go and test now, i'm seeing my mum later, be nice to give her some good news. But if it is BFN i'll be after getting my hopes up.

fairywing · 07/09/2008 13:51

BFN

crunchynutter · 07/09/2008 17:02

try not to be too it may just be too early? And like you said you don't know how long your cycle is anyway. Cheer up, eat some chocolate. Always helps me when I get cramps xx

bluestarlavender · 07/09/2008 20:12

Fairywing - I am so sorry!! How many days past OV are you? I usually have exactly 13 days and then AF comes.

I do hope it's a false negative!!!

hi girls, just been catching up.

fairywing about your BFN. you did the right thing testing now as you might have done what i did in april (3 days late and talked myself into the next 15 years with lickle summerbird jnr). your cycles may just be getting back to normal. virtual hugs on the way over.

and hi there crunchys sis! and thank you for introducing your crunchy to MN and our lovely thread!

BSL it is easy for me to say i know but you dont really know anything until your DH has been to see his GP, you would never have cottoned on to this with out MN so i will be keeping my fingers crossed for you both, i am sure even if it is a factor then they will be able to do something about it to help you along. virtual hugs over to you too

DH and i went to a party at our friends housein Surrey last night and had a whale of a time, as you can imagine Mrs Summerbird was dancing the night away right through to 4am apparantly!!

fairywing · 07/09/2008 22:42

Thanks Ladies.
BSL i'm 13 days post ov today. Had yet more cramps tonight on and off and still no AF. Will give it a few more days and see what happens.

fairywing · 08/09/2008 08:57

...and this morning ( i know this is getting boring isn't it!!) no AF, no cramps, still sore boobs/nipples, no raunchy dreams, not majorly tired and don't have the spaced out feeling i had yesterday. Today puts me on CD32 so who knows what is going on. I just know i have never had AF threaten to start and then nothing. I always get light cramping for a day or s gradually getting more intense and then straight into full on AF. Might go and stock up on some more tests later. Now i've done yesterdays i just want to keep testing!!!

summerbird · 08/09/2008 09:15

not boring at all fairywing i dont blame you for being confused, i would be exactly the same. hang on in there girl, yesterdays test might have been a bit early?

saz007 · 08/09/2008 09:22

Morning all! Hope you all had good weekends?

I watched Knocked Up with DH yesterday, it's actually a really funny film

Oh Fairywing about your BFN but hopefully it was just a bit early. Fingers and toes crossed that AF doesnt turn up.

I'm on CD27 today but will not be testing until Saturday...I won't, I won't....

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 09:33

Morning ladies. Fairy i've still got everything crossed for you :-)

Well i think i'm 4 days past OV and have already turned into a serial symptom spotter. I think i have a 10 day LP, so what day do you think i could realistically get away with testing? I actually tested this morning which was pointless as there was more chance of my bathroom tap gettin a BFP, It's official, i'm obsessed with pee.ing on sticks lol

Ladies, please help me stay sane :-)

Vix67 · 08/09/2008 11:45

Morning everyone!!

Fairywing so sorry about your BFN , but there is still some hope so keeping everything crossed!!

Welcome crunchys sister!!

ha ha maf your comment about your bathroom tap has just made me giggle!! I think with the clearblue early pg tests you can detect upto 6 days before your next due af??
( if that makes sense!! )

I am on day 14 today and my digital clearblue ovulation tests showed a nice smily face yesterday and today!! Had to do another one just to make sure!! So lots of BDing over the next few days, we have also BD'd a few times over the weekend so really am praying that this could be the month!!

Am already dreading the 2WW!! aaahhh

xx

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 11:53

Morning Vix. WOOHOO on the and the BD'ing. Fingers crossed this is your month for a BFP.

Well i think i might test again on Thursday with a first response. Current symptoms are very odd stomach twinges on saturday and sunday with a dull ache in my lower back although as DP pointed out that could be from sitting around on my ass all weekend. Slightly bloated today and breats a bit tender if i poke them lol

Although i'm sure at the moment if someone told me your hair turning green wasa symptom of PG i'm manage to find a few lol

we hit the preseed last night, it is sooo weird using it!! DH liked it tho

and saz STEP AWAY FROM THE PEE STICK - you know it makes sense!!

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 13:28

Fairy I cant help being an obsessed symptom spotter. Although its more fun than stressful at the moment and as i'm only 4/5 days PO. When you thinking of testing?

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 13:30

Sorry that should have read Saz not Fairy See my brains mushed another symptom lol

saz007 · 08/09/2008 13:43

LOL *MAF

Thanks Summer but there's no need to worry this month, I won't be peeing on any sticks until Saturday (AF is due Wednesday). I got one of those free tests from MN too, but I dont want to waste use that one yet

Plus I thought if I tested Saturday, it could let me know whether or not I could have a glass (or two) of wine on Saturday night....not that I'm a drunken lush or anything

makingafamily · 08/09/2008 13:59

I'm a bad TTC'er i've still been having a few glasses of vino and unlike Saz i am a drunken lush

summerbird · 08/09/2008 14:03

if you had seen me on Saturday night/Sunday morning you would agree that i can join the drunken lush gang
