Hi again ladies,

OneBump - I totally understand your not wanting to test early...and after today I do feel cross and frustrated with only myself to blame. How do you play it? Do you wait to miss a period? Or test just one or two days before? How are you feeling at the moment? i guess we just all need to keep really busy to keep our minds of it. Maybe plan some activities several times a week in the eve during the ghastley 2ww.

BabyHopes - so it's not just me then!!! I did think "what a waste of money". However, I wonder if like you, I do it to ease myself in gradually.. or whether it's less upsetting at this point because you can brush it off becasue it's so eaarly to test. There's a little ambiguity for you to play with also. Do you think you will test again tomorrow? lol. I hope we are growing little one's inside

Snowflake...Yes i'm 6/7 dpo today! Knowing me I will test again tomorrow...aggggggggggggg.. I have a TTC journal that has my so called symptoms in! Not many to report though..I mean i've had twinges, hot flash, now a few spots and oily skin (usually nice and clear) I guess for me the one interesting sign is (I apologise in advance) is ALOT of cm which is very think. It's like the amount you get with Thrush (but I know it's def not Thrush - i'm an expert on that!! No other symptoms and looks different) So...I guess it's just a waiting game. Gearing myself up mentally for trying again next month. Do you have any symptoms to report? How many cycles have you been trying for? This is my first.

Ladies there is a fascinating website called 'beautiful cervix'...it has pictures of the cervix at all the different times of the months...only enter if you are not squeamish
Totally unrelated to the current topic but just thought you might like to look!

Weeeell for the first month, waited till AF due date, Month 2, tested 9dpo, 12dpo,13dpo and 14dpo (AF arrived that day).

Last cycle I tested at what I thought was 9dpo but turned out to be 3/4dpo and did a number of tests over the next 10 days.

I think if you want to test and you are good with it, you totally should and I have no proof that I won't test before I plan to. Just want to avoid the stress of last month. So I plan on waiting till 14dpo, AF's due date, but may test on 12 or 13dpo, BUT NO EARLIER (that is me shouting at me!!)

Bee - I'll have to check out your journal! I don't have any symptoms at all. We started TTC in May/June of last year - I got a BFP in September (my 4th cycle) but when I went in for an Ultrasound in Nov. we found out that I had a Blighted Ovum. I am now in my 5th cycle after the loss. It's been a long and hard road. And each cycle gets harder and harder I feel.

One bump - That is funny about you yelling at yourself. You can hold out - I know you can!!

Thanks guy, but looks like it's not happening. Temp went back down so I guess I'm back to wait and see.

BusyBee12, I use opk too, but last month had false positive, and the month before that, never had a positive at all, so not trusting it.

Good luck onebump, hope this month is good. Stay strong, I think getting BFN after BFN would be taxing on anyone, just live it day by day until your AF's supposed to come.

snowflakes120, it's okay, I know. I usually just reply to the latest posts, how forum works.

Everyone, lots of

Part of me want to see, but I'm squeamish. I still can't get myself to check position and mucus inside.

Anything new ladies?
I'm symptom free at the mo.

Hi hope you dont mind me joining in :-)

I am about the same time as you for testing wise :-) however I am having some noticable symptoms and its making me want to test now, or am I just imagining it lol Do you ever feel like your crazy like I do sometimes after months of BFN's!

I used to think it was easy to get pregant, how wrong was I!

Anyway big fingers crossed this month for us all :-) xx

Welcome Shellyt

I have no symptoms really. I am concerned because I took a major temp spike today, hope that doesn't mean I O'd yesteday, if I did there should still be a chance as I learned from last month to keep going. I have had such sore BBs I expect I did O last week as I think the initial progesterone does that to me.

Apart from that 6dpo and no obvious symptoms. Some people do say no symptoms is the month. I'm not getting hung up on that either though. Was so disappointed last month I don't want to get ahead of myself. So far I am just super proud of myself not letting my stress/worry get out of control

Aw well done for keeping yourself from stressting :-) xx its hard not too xx
