Also from experience I try to not test until 5 days late for a couple of reasons....
1) You could test too early and a pg won't show up
2) It gets expensive because if you test at say 1 day late and get a neg but then AF still doesn't show up a day or 2 later you do another one. You could do 2 or 3 tests and get AF when all along for some reason AF was just going to be late. With the £1 this doesn't matter as much as they are so cheap.....mind you, it doesn't do much for your emotional well being.

Yeah I have a feeling i'll have to lock myself in a dark room for 5 days not to test lol!:rotfl:

OH brought me a pressie today, pack of 2 pregnancy tests and a babygrow, bless him!!:D

O and AF arrived today, i'm not really disappointed as it was a bit soon to be thinking I was pregnant and atleast it means I can start charting now!:T

I've only just found this thread, but am already on the TTC list on the pregnancy thread.

I initially got pregnant the first time I ever slept with OH back in 2006 (a drunken accident at the time!). Luckily we formed a relationship instead of a one night stand! Found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks (so OH and I had been together for 6 weeks) but unfortnately had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.

As OH and I hadn't been together long we decided to spend 2007 just the 2 of us and try for a baby in 2008 then more delays and we finally started trying at the end of April. My periods are never completely like clock work but I think I am currently 3/4 days late so fingers crossed! If no period by this time next week then I shall do a test Haven't told OH yet as I don't want him getting his hopes up (he wants a baby so so much!) Is that mean?

Some advice please.
We will be TTC in about 6 months time (work precludes any earlier). What can I do to prepare myself for this? Apart from being scared stupid of not being able to conceive and how disapointed he would be if that happens I have an all out fear/hate/loathing of doctors which does not help. (plus bit of surprise when he said 2/3/4......)
I have started the process by finally going for a smear test (yes I know..... have a coloscopy now because of not going when I should have so got to get through that too) what else can I do preferabally (and i know its childish) without having to step foot near a Dr's.
I am vegan and slight for my height, I train/workout daily, barely drink and don't smoke any advice would really be appreicated if just to stop me spinning into a wild panic.
Thank you
Ps good luck to everyone

TTC for 1st time and have worked out my cycles etc and according to the websites I have checked i should be ov tomorrow
my CM is showing signs of ov,websites show should be OV tomorrow and have been doing ov tests for the past few days inc today and they all show negitive!!

How accurate are these tests?
my cm is slimey and egg white like and I am on day 25 and should be ov tomorrow,does it just show on the day?
1st time of using the tests and getting a bit neurotic about it
been bd for the past week every other day hope this is enough!!

I certainly don't think it's mean. Not at all. You have to keep good communication open with your OH, but I personally don't think that there's any need to share every ache, strain and wonder with them. We have no option but to go through all these ups and downs, I don't see the harm in muting the roller coaster, so at least one person in the relationship has a chance of keeping a grip on sanity...:p

Angeleyes I too think my Ov is tomorrow and have tested past few days with a neg. I just hope tomorrow is the day, so I know I'm Ov.

Melvis hope you get result you want. Let us know.

Argh! I'm getting impatient......I did have a mirena coil in until last month. It was removed on the 16th April. Had my AF a few days later on 19th, and bled for 10 !!!!!!! days! Since then bf and I have been TTC. Its now 27 days later, I keep feeling sick, my boobs are swollen, lower back pain and tummy pain and haven't come on yet. Did a test yesterday, which came back as negative. Not really sure what my cycles are now, as I had coil in for 6 yrs, from what I remember I used to be on every 21 days. Am I just reading too much into things, or what?! Advice anyone please? Thanks xx

You may be experiencing phantom symptoms which sometimes happen when you are trying for a baby and getting a little to into it iykwim. Chll out a bit and enjoy trying!

If you still have symptoms in a week then take another test. Good luck.
