    Thanks for the warm welcome!

    I am terrible in the 2ww, I SS at every tiny little thing! Am I gonna be getting my wrists slapped on here?
    I'm also a POAS addict and last month I couldnt stop myself from doing it pretty much every day past 10dpo, oops!

    Did anyone else find that before they started TTC their cycles were perfectly timable and now they just make it up as they go along?? I could time my watch by my cycle but since TTC, so far I've had 3 days early and 4 days late!! It's like my body thinks its hilarious to play tricks on me. Grr

    Hope you're ok euro, sounds serious. :( xxx

    I watched Case 39 at the weekend, have you seen that one?

    Thanks Lily. I just wish there was something more I could do, or OH could do to improve it, but anything we do gets taken for granted and/or abused.

    Yes, I have seen that too. I didn't realise it was that type of film before I started to watch it either, so I got quite a shock! :rotfl: But it's a good film!

    ETA: Thanks Emsbet xx

    How frustrating for you. :(

    I thought that film was going to be pretty tame, but it kept making me jump! And the hornet scene! :eek:

    No wrist slapping but maybe a wagging finger or two :rotfl: The problem with ss is that most symptoms of early pregnancy are the same as AF so it's kind if pointless but it is almost impossible not to! Don't worry you will be in good company here:rotfl:

    I think the majority of people don't get BFP until 14DPO but I understand the urge to test earlier. If you do test a lot then ICs (Internet cheapies) or pound land tests are best just to get that initial TLP (tiny little positive) before you splash out on more expensive tests. Superdrug own brand are quite cheap and often on offer :money: and are one of the most sensitive out there.

    I think it's because you are slightly stressed waiting to test/AF and this can affect when you ov and when AF arrives.

    Don't worry, OH has now put a ban on any tests other than the internet cheapo's

    Can I ask if anyone uses cheap OV sticks? Where's best to buy them from?

    Thanks

    I used the cheap Internet ones and they work fine for me. There's a link on the first page.

    PS. Do NOT watch paranormal activity 2! Especially before bed! I did NOT sleep well last night because of that film!

    Ugh, I don't know about scary films, but I read World War Z in the middle of last week, and I'm STILL getting freaky dreams about a zombie apocalypse - I'm sure I haven't had a decent nights sleep since then, I was still dreaming about zombies last night. It really got under my skin because it's written so plausibly. Excellent book though, and if you're not easily freaked out I would definitely recommend it :D
