gd gd well fingers crossed for both of us then i duno whether to test or hold off an extra few days do u mind me asking how late you are? hope u get bfp tomoz fingers n toes all crossed

Well I'm not sure exactly how late I am cos I'm only just off the pill. I'm on CD35 today so pretty sure I should be due now if not in the last few days.

I usually get pain the day before AF but I have been having mild cramping (much less than usual) for 2-3 days now (much longer than usual) but no other symptoms. I had BFN yesterday morning and will try and wait another 2 days before doing another test but probably won't manage past tomorrow morning!

Re tests I have the ones from Access Diagnostics and find them easy to use. I also have some plastic cups I 'borrowed' from work!

the only thing is am a bit of a weirdo i bought some off ebay and they wer just the wee strips id rather have the wee plastic bit that goes round it

what are the ones from savers like
oh im soooooooooooo conufused lol i just duno where i am

The savers ones are strips that you dip into your pee that you collect in a cup. I got the cup sent with some ov strips I got ages ago.
I do have a couple of predictor tests that I got cheap which you actually pee on rather than dip them but I only use them when I have had a BFP on the cheap strips just to dbl check even though the strips have never been wrong.

The dip ones are very easy to use. Pee in a clean container then dip the strip in up to a specific line for (usually) 5 seconds.
If you don't have a suitable container handy, next time you are at docs ask for a sample bottle. Rinse it out after use and you can re-use it.

:hello: Hiya lay-dees
CD 26 for me and today I am taking a different approach
From memory there has only been ONE BFP result since I joined the thread in early May - so my new idea is that STATISTICALLY* one of us should be getting a BFP result this very cycle :T
Who will it be? I'm feeling fruity on CD26 but Sarah Joanne is over a week ahead of me on CD35
Who will it be?
It could be YOU :T
*statistics based on the theory that there are lies, damn lies and statistics

What a lovely idea, MFD-- I look forward to seeing who's "turn" it is :T
As for me, I've become remarkably mellow about this taking as long as it takes (we've only been trying since April) because there's a couple things I want to travel for next Spring (a big reenactment event-- yes I'm one of *those* types in March and a freind's wedding in May) that will be difficult if I'm PG/have an infant. So either I get PG in the next 5 months or I get to do these things-- either way, result!:j

Morning!

Chin up SJ - it could still be that there just isn't enough baby hormone stuff to show up on the test as yet - for me it is only a neg when AF arrives.

Hubby and I had a 'what if we never get pg' chat last night which kind of eases the pressure a bit for me. I know we are very early on in TTC but hubby is 42 so there will come a point for us that if we don't concieve naturally we will probably give up, he will already be an old dad and I don't think either of us want him to be an ancient dad.

CD 27 and I am resisting the urge to run down to poundland and splurge a tenner on tests (theory being that it would cost me a tenner in boots to buy one and I can get TWENTY in poundland for that!) then I could just test every time I wee *just in case*!!!

Happy BD to all - will it be YOU this month?

My hubby had Twins at the same age as your partner so it is not a big issue

Lol - I keep teasing hubby telling him that twins run in our family!

I agree, not a problem at the moment, but if he got to say 45 (I would be 35) then we would have to think again...I think!

We will cross that bridge...

And it doesn't matter because my body is absolutely convinced I am pg right now :rotfl:

Hi all. My SIL had her baby yesterday. Happy and healthy, and she managed a natural birth (after having a last minute c-section with her first). Of course I'm very pleased for her, but I'm dreading going to see her and her son. For starters, she and my husband aren't getting on at the moment, and for seconds it was her baby shower I i left in tears a week or two ago and I haven't seen her since.
I had a right go at hubby last night for being weak willed. I told him he needs to genuinely get on with her or fully call it a day. It's going to be hard enough going to see a happy new mam anyway, without being the one responsible for keeping the conversation going because Uncle doesn't like Mam anymore.
Deep down I know I'm being unreasonable, and I should let him work it out in his own time, and let him dutifully go see her even though he's not liking her. But it just smacks of hypocrisy so badly, and I think that the added stress is going to take it's toll on me. And I really don't want to turn up and start crying again. OH is going away for the weekend too, so I think it's going to have to be tonight, so I've not got much time to calm myself down. And SIL is the type to really notice and comment if you aren't straight there with the well dones and oohs and ahs. I'm not looking forwards to it.
God, just writing this I seem to be encouraging my husband to argue with his sister so I don't have to go see my nephew. Now that's not very nice is it? Somebody make me get a grip!
