Morning.

So sorry for those still getting BFNs and no AF either. What about seeing if your doctor can over a blood test maybe? Are they more sensitive?

teuch · 27/05/2005 10:37

Morning folks - congrats milosmum I have tentatively ventured over to the ante-natal threads so you gonna join us?

Just an aside on the HcG - everyone produces different levels which is why some people get late BFP's. It is not the actual amount you are producing, since this varies so much, but the rate at which this is increasing, which affects the viability of any pg. Most women find that HcG doubles every 2-3 days.

So...getting a late BFP is very possible and is not in itself a reason to worry!

Good luck to all the weekend testers !!

Hulababy · 27/05/2005 11:04

Reckon I definitely have a bug, not just stress and not just AF signs. Have hot sweats now, as well as being sick in night, feeling sick now and being achy. Fab!

romilly · 27/05/2005 11:08

totally agree with teuch that you shouldnt worry about late BFPs because they are not that late, its just that we have all got so trigger-happy these days with testing that people expect their bodies to comply. the average date for a BFP is 13.6 dpo but in reality a lot of BFPs are much much later. sometimes 18+ dpo according to ff. charts i've been looking at. so try and enjoy the bank holiday weekend and this fab. sunshine everyone - and for once, i'm going to say stay away from those sticks for a few days

milosmum - thankyou for the dust hon. always appreciated.

romilly · 27/05/2005 11:09

oh hula not ill for the bank holiday, what a bummer

romilly · 27/05/2005 11:13

wendy - all the best for your scan, i'm on tenterhooks for you! i spoke to mr.rom and we are going to make an appt. to see GP to get on a waiting list at least.

i am on 3dpo and feeling stupidly optimistic this month

HandbagAddiction · 27/05/2005 12:48

Thanks everyone for the information on late BFPs. Ridiculous I know as all pregnancies are different, but since I tested positive with dd 2 days before AF was due on a normal 28 day cycle, I just assumed that the next time would be the same!

Provided that AF does not arrive in the next few days...then I will test again on Monday which will be 21 DPO. This is costing me a fortune so far in tests!!

Not sure if I 'feel' pregnant or not...but then I'm reluctant to try and feel anything just in case the news isn;t what I want to hear....ho hum...!!

munz · 27/05/2005 13:32

HA - right then i've had a lenghty chat with both the bus compnay and royal mail, complaining at great lenghts about the incosistancy of their beanie deliveries, anyhow they tell me that your bus broke down and not to worry as it's now coming to you special del for tuesday morning, the ref they gave me was beanie, so any probs come back!

Hula- that's rotten to be poorley all over the holidays.

rom - good luck with your DR.

Good afternoon everyone on this lovely sunny day.
Wish I was at home right now and not stuck in the office. Fed up as still only brown discharge and af should not be due for 3 or 4 days so dont know what is up. Temperature dropped 2 degrees today so that is a sign of af coming isnt it?
No cramps really just the brown discharge when I go to the loo and wipe.
Accepting that I am not pg now and just waiting for af to arrive.
Bev

milosmum · 27/05/2005 15:43

rom - its so nice that everyone is really happy for me!! thanks Each BFP proves the rest of you can get here...

Took my "sample" to the docs today to get it all verified then i can book in with the midwife- oh how exciting!

Harrizeb · 27/05/2005 16:43

Afternoon everyone,

I hope you all have lovely sunshine.

Hula, so sorry you're feeling poorly hope it clears up soon and you get to enjoy some of the weekend.

Wendy hope Tuesday comes quickly for you (if you see what I mean )

so sorry for the BFN's so far and fingers crossed Munz' buses do the trick

Well I'm quite impressed managed to bd last night and again this morning and will probably see if I can pursuade DH tomorrow morning too. His comment this morning was - typical we start TTC just as the weather gets hot! We managed to conceived DS in cyprus and had air con - so cool!!

Have a lovely weekend and will catch up next week.

Hulababy · 27/05/2005 19:08

Feeling a bit better bug wise. Maybe it really is just stress. But feel very sad AF has just shown it's first real signs. So month 10 awaits.

Just AF on top of everything else...feel really fed up right now.

wendy11 · 27/05/2005 19:25

Hula - about af. This ttc lark is not easy. Onwards and upward and I really hope month 10 is your month.

Rom - I am glad you are going to make that appointment. Hopefully by the time you get your appointment you will have got the result you are longing for

Bella - Where are you? Are you OK? Missing you on here.

Harrizeb - hanks. Tuesday can't come quick enough!!

Bev - ((Hugs)). Don't feel too down as I have said to Hula onwards and upwards for you as well

Munz - I love all this talk about RM and buses. Not sure which bus goes to Ireland, but if you can find out put my delivery on it

at all your talk about sunshine. It has rained here all day and does't look like improving over the weekend. Typical.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Enjoy your weekend everyone

RachelRog · 27/05/2005 20:02

Hello to all......haven't posted for a bit but keeping a beady eye on everyone from a distance!
I am currently 1DPO CD15(I think.....my temp shot up this morning so think that means I must have ovulated yesterday??? Not been temping long so just getting into what it means)
I am really praying that it is my month this month.....like many others I'm sure.
On the dreaded 2 week wait...........

charleepeters · 28/05/2005 07:36

Morning ladies, any testers today??? im testing tomorrow possibly monday if i can wait that long, i have stomach cramps today so maybe af's on her way for tuesday

hug to all

Harrizeb · 28/05/2005 09:07

Morning CP fingers crossed it isn't for you. Hope you enjoyed your Chinese last night - yummy.

A little bit confused I am on CD11 and have had EWCM since cd6 is it possible to ov this early in your cycle, cause EWCM this early is fairly normal for me - just a little unsure as you ladies seem to ov much more in the 'middle' of your cycles.

Have a lovely weekend and speak next week.

charleepeters · 28/05/2005 09:09

hugs to all xxx

morning all. Was expecting my 'sign' that period due last night (usually get spotting) but nothing and nothing this morning. Did an early preg test and could see a very slight hint of a 2nd line that disappeared after a few minutes. Think my eyes may have been playing tricks on me out of desperation. A friend has told me to not drink or go to the loo until tea time and do the test again. I am quietly hoping as it has been 15 months of ttc so not going to get carried away. Another thing is a couple of days last week I felt nauseous around greasy food (my sons burger, prawn toast!). I don't normally get any symptoms of coming period (except for the spotting 2 days before) or of pregnancy (no sore boobs or anything like that) although have had a funny feeling in my hip last couple of days!
