    Thanks for the explanations of the Chemical Pregnancy

    So that is a def no no then to taking a test before AF is due, I def wouldnt want that to happen :(

    I think I will get those ones off ebay though, they are the sticks you pee into a cup and dip the stick in? I have had them from Wilkinsons before, but these are way cheaper lol 20 sticks for £5 (inc p+p)

    But I def wont test unless AF doesnt show, so no POAS for me till after July 2nd lol

    Morning Girls,

    I'm on CD27 and I think I'm getting feelings that I'm about to come on. My cycle was 33 days last month so if AF is going to show I want it to happen sooner rather than later.

    We are at a funeral on Thursday and I really need to take a hayfever tablet so we have decided that if I don't come on tomorrow I am going to do a test tomorrow night to make sure I get a negative result before I take the tablet.

    Baby dust to all x

    Good morning all, hope you all had a good night!

    I think when we say on here to wait, wait and wait until AF is due before testing is to stop exactly that depressing downer you can get with a chemical pregnancy. Been there, done that, if you know what I mean, and so my mantra is to always wait until then...

    Talking of the peeing in a stick test, my pot could do with being replaced! So any ideas where I could get some MSE friendly replacements?

    B2B, hope AF shows for you if that is what you want - are there no pregnancy-safe hayfever remedies then? That doesn't sound good and I'm just thankful I'm not a fellow sufferer at the moment!

    Yeah I didnt realise you couldnt take hayfever tablets, my OH told me last week, so I have stopped taking them, thankfully (fingers crossed) I havent had any hayfever symptoms recently

    Yeah I def think a chemical pregnancy wouldnt be nice, so I am def not gonna take a test till after AF is due (unless she turns up of course lol which will !!!! me off cos 1, I want a baby lol 2, I am on holiday in Cyprus 3, I have my brothers wedding to attend on holiday in Cyprus)

    Hmmm replacement pee pots, I just use plastic cups lol, can you get some of them from a pound shop?

    :hello:

    I have bad hayfever and can only take a steriod spray up my nose... but don't want to just in case!

    I dreamt AF had arrived:eek: Glad it was only a dream :)

    I'm seeing my friend today who is about 32 weeks ish and very huge. I can't help but feel a little bit jealous:o I am really happy for her as well as she had a very complicated MC last pregnancy.

    I'm in the hayfever camp and I had to go to the doctors yesterday about it (as I've posted before)

    Didn't realise I was supposed to tell him I was TTC!!

    I don't think I'm pg this month anyway, I think I missed my fertile window thanks to this stupid hayfever!!!

    Hope we're all well......my coldsore is now visable from outer space and spreading right across my top lip....it hurts so much!!

    On the plus side I was woken this morning with a package from my mum, two pairs of new SHOES!!! (she must have been reading what we put the other day MadMac!! ;) )

    Crikey, seems like we're all suffering from one thing or another!

    Still got my minging cold, although it is clearing up a little but is being replaced by hayfever, so definitely no bding for me!!! :mad: :mad:
    Didn't know about the hayfever tablets while ttc, will have to suffer I suppose:rolleyes:

    Nunny - ouch on the coldsore...luckily I've never suffered but my mum n sister do and it's never pleasant:( But the shoes do make up for it;)

    Hope all those suffering with wisdom teeth feel better soon:D
    I musn't be very wise coz at 25 I haven't got a single wisdom tooth & my evil dentist has warned me if they're aren't at least near the surface by my 26th birthday he'll start seriously thinking about digging:eek: them out:cry:


    Oh how rude, I forgot to say hello:doh:...............Hi girls:wave:

    Nunnygirl, what a kind mum you have! I'm still waiting for my shoes to turn up, only two pairs - oh and a pair of slippers! All in the sale though, spend to save and all that. :rotfl:

    Do any of you remember last year on the Grabbit board was a strange allergy relief contraption from Lloyds Pharmacy? I got one for my OH who suffers really badly with hayfever. He was really sceptical, but gave it a go! Have to say it really does help and makes a noticeable difference when we're out and about. I got it with the purifier bundle and that comes in very handy when we have to sleep with the window shut! :cool:

    Just looked and yup, the deal is on again, but you can buy it separately as well.

    Hi everyone :)

    Back at work again today :rolleyes: Dont feel well though, feel a bit light headed lol.

    Well i think i've finished Ovulating lol. The 48 hour window that was mentioned on my instructions from the OV tests has passed. I think BD'ing 4 times should suffice? lol.

    MadMac - for mse friendly peeing pots, go into anywhere with a water fountain and steal their cups :p :rotfl:
