Thanks for your advice, Shelley. OMG - 35 days is tomorrow!!

I'm really new to this, we've only really been trying this month so we'll be incredibly lucky (and very surprised) if I am pregnant.

I've heard that you can do some pregnancy tests before your period is due - can anyone tell me which ones and whether they're any good? If I work on the assumption that my cycle will be 40 days (cos I haven't got my period already) then testing in the next few days would be before that period is due, so one of those tests may be more accurate than one you can use when your period is late?!

Gosh, so confusing!!!

First response are pretty sensitive- they say you can test from 4 days before AF is due, I think. Best to use the first urine of the day though.

Lots of sparkly baby dust to everyone.

Welcome Mrsmb and Beth.194 and fingers crossed for you both that a BFP appears soon.

I am now officially on holiday and enjoying the BDing without the stress of work so far! We were a day or so late from OV but oh well, you never know.

Good luck to you all xx

Well I'm seriously confused to my situation now. I STILL have PG symptoms from last month, heartburn, sore bbs which are covered in loads of little purple veins down one side, nausea, period like pains, but AF ain't due until Thursday next week at the earliest, I'm knackered and my lower back's been playing up for about a week. I've had 4 BFN now and I'm feeling my body is playing tricks on me!!!


ARGH!!



Sorry, rant over!

Hi all,

I had posted infrequently on this thread as OH and I had been thinking about TTC. However, we have decided to put it on hold until I finsih Uni and have re-entered the field of work again! Just hoping that when we do get around to TTC properly that my age won't make it more difficult...will be about 35 then.

So...see you all in about 3 years ish!!!

Snap! This is exactly how i've been for the last week. Heartburn has been soooo bad i've gone through god knows how many rennies and my nausea was so bad the other day i did a test (wed afty), came back neg. Thing is my cycle is all over the shop so not qutie sure when i should be due on so dont know when or if to test again. I think i may possibly be due on the end of this week(ish).
Ive been trying not to think about dates and symptoms as much this month as last month i had a v faint pos that turned out to be a duff test and i dont wanna get my hopes up, but all this heartbun, nausea, backache etc is becoming hard to ignore.
What should i do? Test again or leave it?

Hiya and welcome to mrsmb and beth.194

I am waiting for af to turn up - last few cycles have been 28/29 days but sometimes as long as 33 days. I am on day 31 today - feel fairly certain I am not pg and I have done a couple of tests which have all been BFN, feel like af is coming - cramps and back ache and dread going to the toilet incase she has arrived. If my af still hasn't arrived Tues morning will do another test.

Nickynoo.....I don't know hun, I am totally confused after the 4 BFNs. Going to wait for AF next week (she's due to rear her ugly head next Wed/Thurs) so I'll probably test next weekend if she ain't arrived.

I keep getting really dizzy, just nearly fell of my chair!

Nunnygirl,

I had all the same symptoms a couple of months ago and also started having milky discharge from my bbs and was convinced I was pg but BFn then AF arrived the next day. All I'm saying is you're mind is extremely powerful in creating the symptoms we all so want. I was absoloutely devastated that month with the BFN because I have never had AF symptoms before so to have a month of the cramping at 7dpo, some spotting the same time, Was absoloutely exhausted to the point I couldn't stay awake after 5.00pm, was physically sick after smelling something not offensive,My bbs swollen and had the montgomery white spot things, the milky discharge.
It's also worth saying though that I don't know any pg test that will show bfp 7 days before af is due. If you lok at the first response ones that say up to 4 days before af, they state that of all the pregnant women that used it only 50% showed positive 4 days early. 90% the day before af was due.
