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?

Massive congrats hairy.

melies, really feel for you. TTC for a year is a long time in reality, even if it's normal medically/statistically. How old is your DC? My DD is 3 at the end of this month and I really thought she'd have a brother or sister by now. Even at the very best, they'll be nearly 4 years between them and that's if we manage to have one and if I get pregnant in the next couple of months. Both bigs ifs. So I really know how you feel :(

Good luck to everyone else :)

milo if i were you i would pop to the gp and ask for a blood prego test. at least you would hen know one way or the other and im sure they would be happy to do it

pommedechocolat · 07/05/2011 07:54

That's a good way of looking at it flying cloud! Have already told dh that next weekend is all about shagging :)

flyingcloud · 07/05/2011 07:47

Congratulations hairy.

AF arrived last night on CD26 at least it means we can start trying sooner and less waiting and Hoping this cycle.

mamarara · 07/05/2011 00:31

yippee congratulations hairy! Brilliant news.

milocuckoomitten · 06/05/2011 23:42

Until someone mentioned it I had no idea that vivid dreams were a sign of early pregnancy, but I have been having 3-4 really odd dreams in a night quite often over the last couple of weeks. I had noticed I was having more than usual but not linked it at all so I can't have been imagining this one. I do have odd dreams every now and then but never more than 1 in a night normally.

eurochick · 06/05/2011 23:02

Woop woop for hairylights!

pommedechocolat · 06/05/2011 21:39

AF came this evening on just day 24 of cycle. Now trying to convince myself it's implantation bleeding as doesn't appear to be 'normal' colour :)
Oh well, next month hey.

DreamingOfABump · 06/05/2011 19:54

cngrats hairy fingers crossed for a lovely sticky one.
mellie dont lose hope, it seems like forever but a year is still a 'normal' amount of time. its should happen soon x
For me im in limbo waiting for either AF or BFP- currently CD 29 0f 27 BFN's so far.

Bellakins · 06/05/2011 18:50

Congrats hairylights!! Really pleased for you. I'm on CD 30 of a 31 day cycle. Getting waves of cramping today and yesterday, and to a lesser extent the few days prior to that. It's uncomfortable but not enough to take pain killers. Usually I would just get cramps on Day 1 of AF so this is unusual for me. Probably AF is on its way but can't help hoping! Not going to do Pg test till Monday, assuming AF hasn't turned up! crosses fingers

blueeyedmonster · 06/05/2011 18:50

Congrats hairy and sorry to those with af getting them

hairylights · 06/05/2011 18:33

thank you all x

milocuckoomitten · 06/05/2011 18:28

Congratulations hairylights
Sorry to all those with AF/BFNs Sad

I am day 43 now, still no sign of AF, still got the cramps on and off and feeling a little bit sick, none of usual signs at all. Don't know what's going on. Going to test again Sunday morning.

pommedechocolat · 06/05/2011 17:40

Yay for you hairylights! Congrats.

meliesmummy · 06/05/2011 17:12

Congratulations hairy!!! I really hope that this one is a sticky.

I'm still feeling negative for this month...I've got a spot and sore boobs, pms for me :(. It'll be a year next month with just a mc to show for it. Im starting to think that I need to accept that we may only ever have 1 child :(, I feel so sad when I see dd playing alone, she'd love a sibling :(

hairylights · 06/05/2011 17:02

Oh my gosh.BFP here Shock . here's hoping fourth time lucky!!

pommedechocolat · 06/05/2011 14:15

delilahbelle - I'm very similar to you - negatives on day 24 need to know if I should drink tomorrow night but having symptoms that seem very real (nausea, sore and huge boobs, peeing in the middle of the night..).
I do find this hard.

flyingcloud · 06/05/2011 13:13

Well my internet cheapies have arrived, and have had another BFN, just not with FMU. I am day 27 of a 28 day cycle, so it's really not looking good for me either, but I am being a bit stubborn and refusing to believe it until damned AF arrives!

I didn't test until CD 40 odd last time, as I had never really paid much attention to my cycles.

I really need to accept it though, I have zero symptoms this time.

delilahbelle · 06/05/2011 12:37

Day 23 here, bfn on an internet cheapie. Have worked out AF is due Tuesday though, so I'm hoping it's too early. I feel nauseous, have a dry mouth, vivid dreams for the last couple of nights and sore boobs.

Going to pick up a first response test tomorrow to use, as we are off to a barbq sat night. If it's BFN again at least I will be able to have a drink.

pommedechocolat · 06/05/2011 11:34

Sorry to hear that eurochick.
I did an early FR (6 days before) as well - bfn. Better start to resign myself to AF as well I guess.
Hope the docs offer some help.

eurochick · 06/05/2011 10:47

F* AF in the eyes.

Meh.

I was starting to get slightly optimistic yesterday as FF thought my cycle was triphasic and at my appointment last night my acupuncturist was being quite optimistic. And then I woke up this morning to a MASSIVE temp drop.

So that is 5 cycles of perfectly timed SWI that have deivered precisely nothing.

Oh well, at least I can get my Day 3 blood test done on Monday.

DreamingOfABump · 06/05/2011 07:25

cd 29 of 27! no sign of af, bfn with fmu. wtf.

pommedechocolat · 06/05/2011 07:02

day 24 and bfn with fmu this am.
Losing hope a bit.
Still getting up in the night to wee and have boobs that seems bigger and sore but with dd would have had a bfp now (was on a 24 day cycle then though).
Going on a hen do this weekend so I guess it's wine o clock for me.

DreamingOfABump · 05/05/2011 22:15

well im due af today and no signs of it. woop.
test says BFN though at 9pm. boo.

So not really sure whats going on. if im due today, and first response says no, does that mean game over then? Will do a first urine one tomorrow if AF isnt here but FR said can do any time of the day wee and 99% ccurate on day period is due so feeling :( now about it. having been weeing all day so thought maybe it was a sign. pffft

milocuckoomitten · 05/05/2011 20:49

Am day 42 now, a week late, keep thinking AF is coming but nothing so far. Still waiting to do another test. Don't have my most common symptom which is sore boobs, but have AF-like cramps which have become more frequent and obvious in the last few days. Also had a completely unexplained bad mood yesterday but feel fine again today. DH thinks I look "different".
I am really loathe to do another test because I just can't stand it being another BFN this late. Going to wait until Sunday and then either way can see GP on Monday.
