I'm back to help all you premature testers STEP AWAY FROM THE FIRST RESPONSE!

[queenoftheslatterns]

not started one of these threads for a while but have moved on from my enforced ttc break and we shall give it another go. however, I have one rule.

NO TESTING BEFORE 14DPO, its for your own good!

Hello...sounds like you've had a very confusing and expensive month!.
I stocked up on "Predictor" tests from my local Home&bargain, they are 3 pounds ish, and they also do cheaper ones.
My cycle was all over the place, and ovulation sticks showed I wasn't ovulating.
Three days before what I thought my period was due I did a early test (can be done 5 days before)it was BFN...waited a few more days (4) and got a BFP!!!.
Good luck

Congrats on your bfp! I have a spare test so I'm thinking of taking it tomorrow morning, but I have no idea if it's too early or not. I'm pretty sure I ovulated around 2 weeks ago, but the bleeding has thrown me off cause it was so much shorter than my usual AF. we'll see how it goes tomorrow anyway!

TheDiceGirl - That is confusing - maybe it's implantation bleeding. If you can wait till Sunday I'll test with you (unless AF shows up tomorrow). It'll be cd 31 for me, and I'm really trying to wait as long as possible. Don't know how many dpo as OPK sticks never work for me, and I know for a fact that I ov!

daisyj - any news?

DiceGirl - any news?

I'm entering the dreaded two week wait. Argh.

BFN yesterday with cheapy Boots test. Still no sign of AF, though (cd32 today). Really felt as if it was about to arrive on Saturday morning, then feeling went away and hasn't come back. Had stabbing pain in left ovary yesterday, and dull ache (but not like period ache) today.

Hate waiting!

Fingers crossed for your 2ww Bicnod.

xx

daisyj - so sorry, my internet screws up at the worst possible times! I tested on saturday, BFN but I still haven't had any sign of AF either. See how the next few days go I guess!

Bicnod - good luck! sends baby dust

Still keeping fingers crossed for your daisy and DiceGirl

I wish I knew for sure if I had ovulated - we've been SWIing like mad (every other day whether we feel like it or not ) and now DH is going away on a stag do - I'm assuming that from one week before AF is due I'm not that likely to be ovulating?

Not likely, no, but don't do what I did and miss the signs. I had ewcm around day 22 this month, convinced myself I was imagining it, and missed my chance! AF turned up yesterday (CD35), so either I'm still a bit up the creek after my cp or my cycle has changed. Sounds like you've done a pretty good job for this month, though . Only one week to wait now. Will be checking back soon...

DiceGirl - Did AF turn up yet?

thanks bicnod! Just keep SWI and hope for the best ;) i don't know if it's very likely but you never know! Daisyj - sorry about your AF arriving hoping it won't be long till your bfp though! Nope no AF for me yet :S x

DiceGirl - any news?

AF due on Thursday but had very slight browny-pink spotting today.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhh I hate the 2ww.

Hi all Can i join in. Hate the delayed days that make you think "if i just get to Monday then will test" and what happens Sunday night pink staining.AHHHHH painful.

Thought i gotg the right days this month but obviously not as sitting here with AF pains.

pinkie when is your AF due?

I haven't got AF pains this month which is making me hope hope hope that the browny-pink spotting was implantation rather than AF on the way.

Wishful thinking I'm sure AF will start tonight

Nope nothing doing! No AF and no BFP! My cycle must be screwing with me i've been needing to pee a lot, i don't know if that's a promising thing? Meh who knows. If nothing at all happens by next week I will go to the doctors maybe.

Fingers crossed that it was implantation bicnod! let us know x

AF got me today

Ho hum - into cycle 6 of TTC and I'm bloody well away over my most fertile days in June.

TheDiceGirl - keeping fingers crossed for you x

Can I join in this group? I'm on second month of TTC and have been charting this month sex was timed perfectly and today my temp went up again so I am feeling hopeful so................

7DPO I was overcome by my own stupidity and did a test! BFN at least though there are no tests in the house anymore LOL

Aww no well never mind. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for this month instead

If I'm not pregnant, I just wish AF would show her stupid face so that I can start afresh! This month has been too confusing.

wakarimasen - welcome along well the temperature is a good sign! How long till your AF would be due?

Hi Dicegirl - my cycles have varied since coming off the pill but I'm on day 18 of a 25 day (roughly) cycle so about a week to go......

Ooh not long then well good luck! Fingers crossed for you. I don't think this is my month, I don't have a very good feeling about it. But then again I never do

So.... I'm on my 2WW and wondering what happened to DiceGirl and waka. Daisyj are you still around?

If I'm not bloody pg this month it certainly isn't for lack of trying... keeping all my fingers and toes crossed and trying not to think about the pg test sat in my bathroom cabinet.

I'm so glad I've found this thread as I think I'm going insane...... my story, had DS at beginning of December and was induced early as I was diagnosed with obs. cholestasis but all was good! Ialso developed gall stones in pregnancy and NYE I had pancreatitus and was in A&E and admitted for a few days, I had to have my gall bladder removed and that was in Feb. Anyway prior to all this I was never ill and my AF's were regular as clockwork with a 28 day cycle. My last 3 AF's were March 10th, April 10th and then May 14th.... still hasn't appeared and had a tango lol on 6th June without protection.... Now, I'm telling you all this why?? I don't know but feels better to offload!!! I've been POAS in earnest since Tuesday and I must confess that I've done 13 tests since then OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone give me a slap please didn't realise how many till I just worked it out

Oh and I just read the above again and feel the need to clarify that I tangoed with my hubby lol!!!!!

Hello all,
I feel the need to add to this thread to encourage you all to NOT waste your money on tests!
and if you do want to test, remember you can buy pg tests on the internet for about 50p each, which are just as good!

With the expensive tests, all you are paying for is the brand name and packaging and all that plastic. all you really need is the little inner absorbent stick bit that the line appears (or not) on.

In case anyone is unsure how a pg test works, the material the stick is made of has a chemical inside it (across where the line would appear) which reacts with the pregancy hormone (if there is any there) to produce a pink colour giving you a line if it is positive. and nothing if negative.
The second line is the control line which is always further away from the bit you pee on. This turns pink when it absorbs the wee and is just so you know the test has worked - because the wee doesn't reach the control line until it has already gone past the test line, if that makes sense!
So one line = neg, 2 lines = pos.

You can get a false negative if you test too early - i.e. it might show up nothing even if you are pregnant, because in the early days there is not enough hormone in your wee to produce a reaction.

However you cannot get a false positive. if you get the 2 lines you are definitely pregnant!

Good luck to everyone TTC.
