I'm due to test on the 15th, but my periods are very irregular after stopping the pill, so may not be!

Have been having period type cramps for about 4 days but no AF.

Anyone else waiting?

Good luck everyone!

I was going to try to hold in wee till postie gets here, but he may not even bring tests so I didn't!

I've got AF cramps but had them for nearly a week now, its due tomorrow.

Boobs are sore and feel a bit heavy but that could be AF too.

But last night, some little shite was down our side passage, DH had a go at him.

Usually I would be like 'Oh that little b*astard, call the police' etc...

but I cried!

I don't know why, it was just some kid messing about (but was about midnight!) and I sobbed on DHs chest!

I did the weird thing I do/ did when pg or incredibly hormonal - I laugh so hard I cry and then I cry properly and don't know what I'm upset! Dh gets very puzzled!
We were watching shooting stars last night and I just went!
Might look at my unopened test packet and see how sensitive they are / when I can test!!

ZebraDiva · 14/07/2010 13:13

Negative

Aw zebra sorry to hear that.
Was af due today? You're meat tiger best result a week after af is due I think. So maybe there's still hope. Ds woke up from nap before I could investigate my tests. Cant do it while he's about as he'll want to chew them! (15mo bless him)

Going shopping to take my mind off it.

Sicky feeling didn't last long today but cm is definately a bit weird today. (sorry if tmi!)

I'd get some cake zebra. Or maybe buy something that would be useless once pg. Worked for me last time

ZebraDiva · 14/07/2010 13:51

No, due tomorrow.

Cake sounds good, thanks

I am sorry Zebra - it is a really tough moment, I know. All the symptoms are so confusing and tease you.

A glass of wine? It is after 12? Although is it possible that you might be out on the dates?

ZebraDiva · 14/07/2010 15:33

We only had sex once around that time so chances are slim really, 13 days since we did the deed today.

will do another tomorrow anyways.

Energumene · 14/07/2010 17:58

Zebra, once can be quite enough, believe me. Hell, if this one actually sticks, it only took once for us, and hardly in the best conditions for conception

Fingers crossed for a more positive result in the next day or two.

Symptoms here:
Sore and tingly boobs
Nausea
Weeing for England
Exhaustion

I veer between wanting to test all the time and deciding only to test when I'm well and truly late - I guess 6 miscarriages have finally taken it out of me and, although I need to know early for medical reasons, I also don't want to get confirmation of a pregnancy, only to lose it and know I've had another mc. Which may not make sense, but I'm not sure I ever have.

Where's the head in the sand smiley when you need it?

patchworkquilt · 14/07/2010 18:03

So, I am thinking of caving and testing tomorrow morning instead of Friday or Saturday - am I mad?

Energumene · 14/07/2010 18:15

I wouldn't say mad. I prefer eager

patchworkquilt · 14/07/2010 18:47

Or desperate

sillybillymummy · 14/07/2010 19:21

patchwork quilt, i am testing tomorrow, so we can do it together!!

patchworkquilt · 14/07/2010 20:23

Ok SillyBilly - you are on! I bet I have crazy dreams tonight! I think with my increasing tiredness and random headaches - I would be surprised if I am not pregnant and therefore guttered if I am not.

patchworkquilt · 15/07/2010 06:03

Negative

sillybillymummy · 15/07/2010 07:45

Negative also

mrsflux · 15/07/2010 08:08

Oh poo! Sorry for you both.
Maybe it'll be different in a few days time.

When was af due?
My test which is staying in it's box for now says not to test till af due and then do every 3 days if af doesn't arrive.

Hugs to you both!

patchworkquilt · 15/07/2010 11:25

Mine is due Saturday or Sunday - I have sort of lost hope for this month though and just spent a bomb online, on a load of ovulation tests for next month Bugger, bugger, bugger.

sillybillymummy · 15/07/2010 12:54

AF arrived.
I had just bought more tests aswell! Save them for next time!

NOTHEROLDIE · 15/07/2010 14:17

Hello all, sorry to hear all the negatives and see all the sad smileys. I know the wait is horrible and the neg just makes you miserable. good luck for next month.

QUESTION.. where you get the Ovulations tests and preg tests online.??
Its costing me a fortune up the chemist!

I'm ttc 4, (mmc at 10wks in may). Been following Deanna's Plan from a link on another thread. OPk testing for days, getting obsessed!
So its good to see others trying and testing, takes the pressure of me!

Energumene · 15/07/2010 17:52

Well, I have spotting, which I'm praying is implantation bleeding. Have to see how I go tomorrow.

mrsflux · 15/07/2010 18:32

Maybe tomorrow will be a luckier day for some of us.

I've felt knackered today. Ravenously hungry. And taken on more responsibility at work so based on first time all promising signs. Also felt sick when tried to eat baked beans today for tea. Usually they're what I crave when been abroad- nice comfort food but today, Yuck!

I am going to be declaring myself insane when af arrives after all this symptom spotting!

LabMonkey · 15/07/2010 20:59

This is my first time here so please be nice if I am in fact being completely delusional. You ladies seem to know your stuff to I thought I'd ask - sorry if this is too long.

Facts:

Came off pill 1st July
Starting feeling really nauseous 10th July
Been feeling really nauseous since last Sat (roughly 09:30 - 15:00 every day) apart from one day when I had a banging headache. I never feel sick (if I feel sick I normally just do it but I can't even make myself throw up at the mo).
Have no idea about my cycle as been on the pill for years.
I fell straight asleep after work today for 2 hours and I can't even be motivated to run (this is NOT me).

Question: Seriously can it happen this fast or am I being hysterical?

mrsflux · 16/07/2010 08:27

labmonkey - no idea tbh! Sounds a bit quick but you may have just got lucky. Could be your body getting used to it's own hormones rather than the pills ones.

Think I'm out this month. Got spotting last night so think af is here
Oh well can get on with trying next month

shitforbrains · 16/07/2010 08:29

labmonkey

I had AF 26th June
Shagged 3-5th July
Got positive BFP 11th July

Yes, it can happen that quick. GP won't even refer me to hosp yet, they say it's too soon!

Karstan · 16/07/2010 08:48

Wow, that's really quick Shitforbrains. My last af was 25th June, I was still shagging around the 11th. Not even contemplating testing for another week. Do you normally have really short cycles?
