I am due on around the 11th/12th of May. This is our 4th cycle of TTC number 2, after a MC last Jan, and our 2nd cycle using a Clear Blue Fertility Monitor to keep track of things. We managed to DTD 5 times (a record for us!) in the days just before and while I was (hopefully) ovulating, so I have (despite my best efforts) got my hopes up that this month will be the month.

Anyone else out there got 2 weeks of waiting and symptom-checking looming and want some company?

BFP!
took a FR this morning and a slightly darker line than yesterday and just caved in and POA clearblue digi which was thinking would be a waste as its not FMU but it came up "Pregnant 1-2"!

cant believe it. but have almost immediately started stressing about it sticking (last pregnancy was mmc).

girls- thanks so much for helping me out on the longest 2 weeks ever, i really wish everyone of you sticky bfps soon.

I know how you feel dreaming I have decided to give up on thinking about it now. What will be will be, nowt I can do about it now. Just got to wait.

milocuckoomitten · 11/05/2011 20:15

I know what you mean dreaming but I have been there several times before and been just late and this time just feels different. Someone at work today pointed out that I've been eating large amounts of a certain food and suggested I must be pregnant! I hadn't even noticed but of course now they've said it can't help wondering. I have slightly sore breasts now, but in a different way to normal. Normally just before AF they get really sore and tender to touch. Now I'm just noticing a soreness of the nipples where they are rubbing on my bra. Still no sign of AF so if I'm not pregnant don't know what's going on. I hadn't had longer than 30 days since September so jumping to a 50 day cycle randomly doesn't seem very likely. I've never had bleeding that wasn't AF ever before either.

I'm out of 2ww now and about to start a shagathon but I keep staring at my fertility friend chart like it's going to change or something... Think I need to chill out and don't really know how.

DreamingOfABump · 10/05/2011 23:02

we're all in limbo land arent we. I keep hearing stories of people who didnt get positives until they were two weeks late, or only on blood tests etc and i would love this to be me but i also think there are many more stories of people who are just late and af shows up. I hope im not setting myself up for a massive disappointment. time is going soooo slowly because im thinking about it too much. must.get.life Smile

milocuckoomitten · 10/05/2011 20:32

Feeling sick again this evening myself. Do sometimes get a bit of nausea but not thinking I may actually be sick which I have a couple of times recently. Also got spots and have had continuously since "implantation" bleeding. Still feeling hopeful although I know realistically I'm unlikely to be pregnant.

mopey · 10/05/2011 20:27

so another bfn with first response this morning, looked in every light possible and definitly not even a hint of a line - anyone else had bfn's on CD25 (of 28 cycle) which then go on to be a bfp?
Not feeling very pg - although I do sometime convince myself of a bit of nausea - will try again on Thursday......so impatient to know either way!!

blueeyedmonster · 10/05/2011 20:23

Fx for you hoping

I'm, now a day late and still have really sore boobs and I felt really sick at work where they had done some cooking. The smell was really horrible! If it weren't for the bfn's at the weeked I would definately be thinking I was pregnant and not just hoping!

Hope you get an answer soon dreaming

milocuckoomitten · 10/05/2011 18:08

This has been a very long wait, nearly two weeks late already. IF I was pregnant, I would be nearly 7 weeks! I don't understand how it's possible to be that far along and not get a BFP yet, although I have read the stories of others who needed a blood test for pregnancy to show up.
Can't get an appointment with GP until Thursday so going to have to wait a bit longer.

hoping and dreaming, got FX for both of you! (Like that 'hoping and dreaming', sounds good!)

I saw GP earlier and they're going to do day 2-5 and day 21 bloods on me, and semen test on DH. But that's it. Anything further will have to be private because we already have DD.

Am on CD 3 today so going back in a bit for the first blood test. Think I'm going to book an appointment at private clinic asap so we can coincide with results of blood/semen tests. Try and get it all underway with as little delay as poss.

Hope you all have good days today, wherever you are! :)

hopingitsthismonth · 10/05/2011 08:24

thanks Pomme and Dreaming
the spotting seems to have slowed today (last two implant bleeds were for around 24-36 hours so if it satops today I will feel bit more positive.

Dreaming, symptoms sound more like those of pregnancy than madness :)
you thought about asking at GP for blood test?

DreamingOfABump · 10/05/2011 08:20

fingera crossed hoping
Continuing in limbo over here. BFN and no AF, 5 days late. Feel sick, gagging at times. Hope im upduffed as alternatve is that im MAD. Hmmm.... Wink Internet cheapies should be here today so then can poas at my leisure.

pommedechocolat · 10/05/2011 08:17

Soooo much luck hoping. FX.
Hope it IS this month for you!!!

hopingitsthismonth · 10/05/2011 07:23

ok, so i have had brown blood (like beginning of AF but also like the implantation bleeds i have had with last 2 pregnancies) yesterday and bit this morning, its a good few days earlier than i thought i was due.

took a FR test this morning and there is the FEINTEST line. definitely there (done enough tests to know!) but reall feint. please please, hoping it gets darker- had a couple of chemical pregnancies in the past too so nervous about getting hope up just yet.

hoping Feintest ever line becomes BFP over next few days,

wish me luck girls...

xx

VintageNancy · 09/05/2011 21:35

CD1 for me today. I'm fine with it - I knew it was unlikely this month. Feeling fine (apart from the cramps!). I'm going to try and chill out about it this month. Congrats to the BFPs and commiserations to those with BFNs.

blueeyedmonster · 09/05/2011 20:09

Well my af hasn't arrived and my boobs have been really sore over the last 3 days. Usually it's only the day before af.

So even though I have poas yesterday and sat and got bfn I am now late.

milocuckoomitten · 09/05/2011 18:51

Couldn't see GP today as she went home early Sad
Felt quite sick this morning, thought I might have to go out to throw up but was ok in the end. Still no sign of AF, boobs feel maybe a bit larger, but not sore.

mopey · 09/05/2011 14:54

well I couldnt wait so tested and......bfn.....have looked at it under every possible light to see if there is even a glimpse of a faint line but nothing, still hopefully that maybe just too early (af not due until Friday). Think I might be POASing everyday now till Friday!

pommedechocolat · 09/05/2011 13:50

Trying to be positive about this month over here. With dd think it happened early on in cycle and last month got ov out by a couple of days so think we were too late.
From tomorrow dh will be mainly only be shagging for the 7-10 days after that. Heehee. Shagging me obviously, not randomly.
My plan is to do lots of shagging as above and just try and throw myself into work and playing with dd and see if I can 'forget' about it a little bit.

Hi all,

Got my period on Sunday so counting back 14 days (assuming my luteal phase is a standard 14 days, which I think it probably is) I ovd the day after my second peak reading on the CBFM, which means we dtd every day for 4 days before ov, not on the day itself, and once on the day after.

So dtd on all the right days but still BFN. Bah.

Another friend who had problems TTC her first baby told me all about IUI today. Think I'm going to suggest it to DH and do it as soon as they'll let us. We'll have to pay for it but I think we can afford to have one go. Apparently they only recommend a couple of tries because if that's not working by then, you probably need to do something else.

Any thoughts or experiences of IUI?

Hope you're all feeling positive today, whether you've had a BFP or not :)

Right I'm off to Sainsburys to buy myself a test - aiming to try and wait until fmu tomorrow but knowing me will test the minute I get home if not in Sainsburys toilet!!
Will keep you posted x

DreamingOfABump · 09/05/2011 10:09
