I promised myself I wouldn't do this this time around, but here I am again with my am I/ aren't I pregnancy thoughts going round my head all day every day!
Feeling very sicky for a good few days but still hungry at the same time, sore boobs, want to cry about everything and have had a mild but constant headache. Feeling pregnant but think it's all wishful thinking as it's unlikely it has happened naturally. Don't have regular periods so don't have a date to go by for POAS and doubt I even ovulated so feel stupid for even getting my hopes up 
I'm due to start clomid soon but wish I didnt have to go through it all again and that I was already pg.
Really annoyed with myself for falling into this trap again, anyone want to join me in a pity party

Absolutely understand how you can leap into sign spotting no matter how much you 'logic it' away. I can feel myself gearing up to a dizzy state of hope. When I shouldn't.
Distraction of a seriously big pile of laundry. ... Hmmm perhaps a little bit of me prefers the daydreaming / googling symptoms to doing laundry too.
Pity party or laundry? ... Make mine 
Thanks so much for answering, it's so bloody frustrating isnt it? I'm so glad this is the last time I will have to go through this, I hate this bit so much I can't think of anything else and I'm almost willing myself to feel more sick.... I must be mad
I will definitely join you in a or few
Yup. The amount of work hours I've lost in the last few months (I'm self employed) to bloody Googling or trawling online TTC forums- in fact I'm doing it now, aren't I!
I think it doesn't help if you have a tendency to obsessive thinking anyway, as I do. I'm considering getting a bit of counselling because it's doing my head in that much.
(Currently AF is 6 days overdue, another BFN this morning, and pregnancy/ implantation symptoms by the bucketload. I really do not feel in a good way mentally today. At all 
).
Sorry to hear that Stubborn are your periods normally regular? It's difficult isn't it because on one hand stress etc. Can delay a period but then again it can take some people longer to get a BFP than others. Why can't it just be simple?
I will keep my fingers crossed for you
No chance of me being PG now, at 18DPO
I've just started charting my cycle- and this is the first cycle that's gone weird! (although I'm 40, so it could be the beginning of the perimenopause). My temps have been all over the place, as I've also had terrible insomnia, so I'm struggling to see a pattern this month.
I suspect that either this cycle is anovulatory, or that I've had a v. late ovulation, but can't really tell so far 
.
You never know stubbornstains
You may have ov late hun.
I know how you feel ..i just started 5 days ago to take temps in morn, but not sure how it all works plus im midway through cycle day 25!
I have had lotsa dc so wanted to try & see if i ov.
My temps are low though so far ....36.2, 35.5, 35.5 then dropped to 35.3 then back to 35.5 today
Done opk on thurs & fri...line but very faint...dont have anymore to take though x
Of course you can join, more the merrier!
No point in me tracking or anything as up until recently I didn't have a period for nearly 9 months 
The only time I've been regular is when on clomid and will be starting that soon but still can't help thinking, maybe one egg did get through as I was told you don't have to have periods to ovulate so there is a very slim chance for me
Thanks 1more x
Did a pg test this morning and it was negative not sure why I'm feeling like I am but will keep hoping it's because I'm pg
So I've had a headache now for about a week, only mild but constant. Feel really tired and sicky a lot of the time. Also when I do feel hungry I'm only fancying certain things. My boobs ache and I keep getting shooting pains in them. Today I have had sort of period type pains but different to normal ones iykwim
All sounds good doesn't it? Who wants to bet I'm in for a big let down
I'm too scared to POAS as I can't stand the feeling when it's neg
SYMPTOM SPOTTING IS THE DEVIL'S WORK!!!!!
Seriously, I even went off wine and coffee last week! Absolute proof of pregnancy! Except that I wasn't . Our subconscious is bloody powerful...
But maybe you'll prove me wrong....
So true stubborn 
What makes it worse though is not having any type of cycle length, that's the one good thing about clomid at least it makes me regular as this is no good for my mental health! Doc won't give it me for a while yet though.
I really hope I do too Happy, it's so frustrating, why do our bodies hate us so much?
1more...do you think you ovulated? Any news?
That's a massive jump! Looks like ovulation! You don't necessarily need a dip, just a "thermal shift".
Funny, I think I ovulated on Day 28 too now...but that's only obvious in retrospect. That's the first time ever I've had a long cycle like this- and on my first month charting too . But on the bright side, if I hadn't been charting I'd've had no idea what was going on whatsoever- instead of some idea like I have now...
Awww i really hope so :-)
Do you think it is too late on tho to conceive?
I have irreg cycles 35-45 days but last one was 56.
I didnt realise that it is just the thermal shift you need. I thought the dip was important. I have so much to learn, but am happy i have ov'd
How many dpo are you stubborn ?
Xxx

Just what I needed to read!! I'm not alone! thank you thank you thank you for making me feel more normal! ! can I join in the pity party? 
MMC march, ttc april & may, AF due tomorrow but serious pregnancy symptoms all this week and no AF symptoms.
i've been peeing on sticks at least twice a day for five days now - Internet cheapies 10miu/ml. it doesn't matter how I squint, what colour background I hold it against, daylight, dim light, light bulbs - the shocking whiteness of where my BFP line should be is disturbing. its so white its nearly blue! and the pink test/control line - its purple, shocking purple-black!!
DH is upset, 3 friends wives have announced their pregnancies this week, and then another today. its also his birthday today - I fantasised about putting the BFP test in his card this morning
the pressure to upduff me is putting a strain on his sex drive so I feel bad about that, on top of not being a successful baby-carrier on our first attempt.
I can't think about anything else, no one in real life understands.
presuming we didn't hit the jack pot this month - what's the plan for next month? try to relax and bin the opks and thermometer, stop obsessing about CM? I wash my hands three time on every visit to the loo - wash, pee, wash, CM check, wash.
try to relax? that's like saying "try not to think about chocolate".
do I make a doctors appointment and tell her I think I'm broken? I don't know if I'm even ovulating - temp & opk don't give me a positive - I just feel what I've always thought was ovulation pain - but I have no evidence to back it up.
I feel the need to be doing something all the time - planning, taking control of something, because when we lost our baby I lost hope and dreams and happiness and my wee buddy who came everywhere with me and for a short time I felt completely complete, I was nurturing a little life that my husband and I made - he's the love of my life, and he was so happy and proud. he kissed my tummy at night, and patted it and talked to it through the day.
last night I dreamt about our baby. We imagined it was a girl. in my dream we had a boy - he was little, but really clever - about 9mths old, riding a tricycle - and I was looking at him, DH beside me, saying "look at him go! he's so clever, so totey, but look at him cycling himself!"
This is poop
sorry about the length of this!! its magnificent to vent!!
fingers crossed - everyone xx
Oh gosh jbee your post just made me cry! I'm so so sorry for your loss 
Can I ask how long you have been trying for in total and how old you are? I'm assuming you don't already have children?
The way you have written how you feel is amazing as it so accurate! I think about it all day every day and convince myself all the time that I defo pg and it's such a let down when you get that BFN (yy to the glaring white, not even a hint of a line) I've even been know to go back and check it later.... Oh the shame!
We haven't told anyone in RL that we are trying and the pressure on me to do all the things the doctor has told me to do before they will help me is horrible and I can't talk to anyone about it. My DP is brilliant but doesn't understand what it's like as the woman who does all the symptom spotting etc. Plus he has been checked and all is fine with him so I feel like a failure.
