Hi Stargirl, sorry to not get back to you sooner... did you manage to hold out, or have you tested...? Working backwards from the info in the pack, I think the 25mlU hCG can detect as early as 3 or 4 days before AF is expected-- though the moneysaver in me sez "wait until you're at least a day or so late":D
Brilliant idea about the plastic water cooler cups... I may be taking some home myself!

ps- headache was mostly gone yesterday but trying to come back today? thanks for the good wishes, though1

Have so far managed to resist...AF due tomorrow so going to wait until I'm at least a day late...although I don't think I could wait longer than that!

Hi all. Came on early this morning. It's pretty heavy and very painful. I'm still teary, but hoping that'll pass by tomorrow. This happened a few months ago too, and I'm hoping it's not going to be a regular occurance. I'm starting to panic now that these are chemical pregnancies, not late periods. And even if it's not, I find my job quite stressful, and I can't see how we're ever going to conceive if my cycles are all over the place. Hubby is starting to panic it's all his "fault" and overall we're having another bad patch with it.
I think I've decided relaxing is the way to go. I'm going to have some massages, join my friend at her belly dancing class and whatever else I can think of to CHILL OUT!!!

Aww, sorry to hear that Jiblets that you came on. It gets so diasppointing doesn't it when you're all over the place and kinda psyched up that you may be expecting. I had the same thing last month. But I think that you are right, you need some more 'me' time to relax. I'm currently enjoying a man-free weekend as my bf is away! Hehe.Big hugs

Hi ladies - just checking in - glad everyones okay and sorry I was too late to send you hugs jublets - you sounded like you were pretty down yesterday.

DH and I are still in BD overdrive (although I don't suppose you can really call it BD'ing when we are at it all month lol). I think I should be ovulating next week too so I will be joining kathy and helen in the 'pinning DH down and BD'ing for England stakes.


We had a family barbecue yesterday and my SIL asked me if she will be needing to bring her sons high chair over to me anytime soon...I just muttered something about 'not unless you know something I don't' and swiftly changed the subject - why is it so difficult to answer those questions?

And more to the point, why is it that people feel that they can comment on the fact that I don't have children? Not SIL necessarily but people in general. I get it at work all the time, because I am 31 and I have a good job then people think that they can say things like 'did you choose a career over having children' :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Rant over!

Baby dust to all - have fun baby dancing!

Ha! You and me both, but only because we seem to have a re-newed lust for each other.

Not sure what's worse, being worn out or wondering whether anything might come of all this. Considering I have not had a proper AF since coming of the pill, I really couldn't say whether anything will come of it. It's half of the excitement.

Will just have to see...

Hi everyone. I haven't been online for a few days, but have just read everyone's replies to my question about coming off the pill (will click thanks buttons in a minute). You have put my mind at rest so am glad I posted, especially, as I'm still having gunk days (day 11 and counting!). Hopefully it'll settle down soon!!

Good luck everyone!

Hey Jiblets - firstly hugs to you

Secondly if they were chemical pregnancies then I think you should have had BFP's before you had the heavy AF I think - so probably just a big fat late AF. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that would be right.

Anyway HTH and baby dust to all

Still no period here. I'm now on being 9 days late. I'm starting to think this might be some sort of phantom period, because I'm still experiencing the back pains. I went to the doctors to make an appointment yesterday. Not because I particularly think I'm pregnant (2BFNs would really suggest I'm not), but because I've been so ridiculously tired for a week or so, I'm crying a lot and I'm still not on. I've got these back pains, and stupidly large, painful boobs. On Thursday night I had a terrible night, and my parents convinced me to go to the docs. On Friday morning I decided I was fine, but I'd better go anyway. I went in through the door to the reception thinking it was silly to even be going, then the lady told me there was no appointment till Monday and I barely made it to the car before breaking down in tears.

Anyway, I had a good night out last night, and today's been fine, so I feel ok again at the moment, but I'm still going to go in to see the doc on Monday morning. Not quite sure what she'll be able to do for me, but I don't want to feel like this any more. I'm pretty miserable in fits and starts (even if I'm fine in between), and I want to be sorted out. I don't think my husband can take much more of my ups and downs....

u seem to be having a rubbish time (((((((((((((((((jiblets)))))))))))))))))
big cuddle for you
i hope things are ok
try and not stress it will only make you feel worse at least the docs can reassure you tomoro

yeah i would agree with sarah. i was speking to my doc about this and they said its just the way cycles go i was about 14 says late once and i was convinced i had miscarried but i had done plenty test and all bfn so when i spoke to doc they just said thats the way your body works

at the moment we are trying but we have kinda tried not to worry too much about it i know i should be ovulating prob around now so we are just taking it easy

good luck to all and lots of baby dust

*** try not to panic and think of the end picture ***

got my best friends baby due in 6 days so prayers are that they are both safe!!!

I agree with you sooo much. I've been on a girls weekend to watch a show in london this weekend and we got onto the subject of babies. I didn't know all of them, some I work with, and some were just down right nosey! How old are you, no children? So are you focussing on your career then? (I'm only 27!) All said with a quite snooty tone. I really don't want the people who I work with to know I'm trying for a baby, as it could influence my working life, when really it shouldn't.

When people ask me questions I tend to stand there with nothing coming out of my mouth whilst there are various thoughts going through my head such 'S**t they've worked out my cunning plan!', and I've never been good at poker so I'm sure they can tell with my face!

It really doesn't help that I have 3 more friends who have announced pregnancies in the last month and 1 who has just given birth. How do you sit in someone's baby shower and avoid the questions? Answer is you can't. So I'm telling most friends the truth, but trying not to tell people I work with.

I've also made a breakthrough and stopped my small smoking habit, which will hopefully help get my BFP, everyone keeps asking if I've stopped smoking because i'm PG.

It's my baby making week this week, and I'm on holiday all week, so I'm hoping that this month is the month. Then there will be easy answers to the questions!

Baby dust to all!
