    Hi all,

    Im on day 29/28, well at least i think I have a 28day cycle but i normally come on early if anything.
    Trying not to think about it too much but my oh is really anxious and phoning me up asking if ive come on yet.
    Not to give tmi but normally on the day that im due if i go for a walk ( which I have today) and walk fast ( which i did) for a good 20 mins into town it starts it off but still no sign and that was first thing this morning.
    I've really got to take my mind off it cos knowing my luck ill come on nxt wk and until then think im pregnant.

    How does ever1 cope waiting and not knowing?

    Fi xxx

    this is my first month trying and my first attempt so I am trying to just take things as they go, but with a week to go I am now starting to wonder 'am I pregnant' and every little thing I feel that is different I ask myself if it could be related.

    At the moment I am ok, I think if I had to keep trying for ages it would either get boring or I would get more obsessed!

    This is only my first month waiting, but the way I'm coping is by using the possibility of pregnancy to look after myself better. When I'm reaching for another coffee or glass of wine, I think twice and ask myself if I'd do that if I actually knew I was pregnant. Have also been trying to eat lots of fruit and veg.

    I figure that even if (when) I have to face the disappointment of seeing AF, at least I can feel good because I've been looking after my body so the wait wasn't totally fruitless. And the healthier you are, the greater the chances of conceiving next time!

    Hi,
    I'm doing the same.. cutting out all the bad things and thinking what if??
    I'm 5 days late now but tested 3 time and had BFN's.. so I'm leaving it a few days then trying again!!
    As for coping.. I probably just hope!!

    its a tricky one - I try and see the positive - I had a bfn 2 months ago when I really thought it would be a bfp, if it was I would not have been able to go to Italy for a friends wedding - so every cloud.....!!!!

    Fingers crossed - best thing to do is take the test rather than drive yourself mad waiting!

    Hey Fi, I am also on day 29/28, tested Sat and BFN, so am waiting until tomorrow to see if no AF then will test. (Sorry if TMI) Have had a tiny amount of old blood since Sun, but hardly worth the note and have swore that AF has been coming since, but nothing, really thought a few times that she had arrive but no... so just waiting and see what happens.
    Hopefully a few more of us could get some BFP's this month!!! Love and Baby Dustxxx

    Atfer what happened to me my last cycle, I would have to be about 3 weeks late before i bother to waste money on tests. The good thing is I had an irregular period so I have no clue when my Af is due.
