vikksgrin yep I have normally started my poas action already but, I refraned todayshock planning on waiting until Wed when she is offically due. This time round I am too scared to see a BFP or BFN for some strange reason
Realistically how long can you go without testing? hmm I once made it to 13DPO but I can’t see that happening again? Does everyone always wait until AF is due? I’m weak I know!!! Slap my wrists, form orderly cue…..
I’m 5DPO and symptom spotting like a crazy. I’ve been looking at some charts on ‘Fertility Friend’ and there’s quite a few positive tests done less that 12DPO.
I think I find it hard to pin all my hopes on one late test, and find that testing early and getting those BFN helps me keep my feet on the ground and not day dream too much.

Shmoo75 – <Vik stands up> I’m a POAS addict too!! Good luck testing on Saturday and well done for waiting that long.

Hello to everyone else!!

Yep I will test this Sat 21/11 as, will be 10 days since my 1st Peaksmile i am a poas addict can't help itblush keep telling myself that, when I see BFN's it helps me to be ready for when AF arrives so, I am not caught unawares!!! Still have a good cry when she arrives but, at least I expect her more than not testing! I just hate the not knowing ifykwim?

Hi Ladies!

Still here in Ghana. I am not using my monitor this month... and hoping that changing the time zone doesn't completely screw up with my cycle!! I am supposed to peak this coming Tuesday (will be back home Sunday...) So hubby is waiting and stacking up those swimmers!! I really hope this is our month!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I have been MIA..... too much to do here, can't even write a decent post.

Wish you all luck, I haven't been able to read much of the latest entries... but wish all of you all the luck in the world!! Vikks!! CONGRATS ON THE FOLLICLES!!!!!!!! Be patient!! Don't jinx it by testing early, just brace yourself and wait!!

love and baby dust to all!!

Hi,
Vikks - yes, saw Gp 2 months ago - he said "some people just don't fall pregnant!" ... we decided, husband and I, that we'd go back in Jan if no success with monitor. Peaks have been only one day different in 2 months, cycles vary by one day or so.

I have a few other health issues, but my immunologist said it shouldn't affect my chances of getting pregnant. Though am avoiding all medication as a precaution (and hence ended up in hospital with pleurisy!) so I cannot keep "waiting" and avoid medication I need to keep me free of infections. Seeing immunologist on Friday. Tricky balance.

Monkey -sorry you bit down too. Hope you find monitor helps this month.

Hell all, hope everyones ok... i havent even thought about testing to be honest vikks! `yeah i know im acting all weird lately` lol i havent even had that excited feeling you get when you sympton spot! i had slight period pain last night but not for long, it got me symptom spotting till bed time hmm got my referral app so i will tell ya all what he says about me no-peaks etc asap
Just a quicky from me as am work - sorry not been around, there was me thinking life was going to calm down but still seem to be racing through at 90mph...

Vikks Hooray!!!! Well done those follicles smile I so hope it all works for you this month!

Welcome Keziah, yes it does tend to get you down a bit after a while of fttc... Hope it doesn´t take too much longer for you.

Am now on CD11 - was debating whether to use the CBFM this month, but seeing as I automatically started POAS yesterday morning have decided to go with it. Fed up just about sums up my mood at the mo.

Hi to all and will try to come back on later as haven´t really had a proper chance to catch up!
Bubbalewy – I’m only 3DPO and tired of waiting!!! Come on body! This will be the longest 2WW ever. Test day should be Sat 28th but I’ll be luck to make it to Tues 24th. Is testing early sooooo bad? When’s your test day, Saturday? Good luck to us!!!

Keziahhopes - Hello and welcome! I hope your good news is right around the corner. Have you been to the Doc’s yet? I noticed you’ve been going over a year. I waited 9 months before I bit the bullet. Are you getting ‘peaks’ about the same time every month? smile Fingers crossed this will be your month.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
