Hi all. Am still holding out against testing. Have been a little bit nauseous over the last couple of days, but was sure I was reading too much into that and trying not to obsess.

But this afternoon I had a bit of spotting (implantation bleeding??) and now I'm deffo feeling slightly sick. Could it be???? Argh.

Won't be able to test till Weds night as I'm away with work till then. But at least that gives me a couple more days for hcg levels to rise. Fingers crossed!!!

Hope you're all doing ok. Sorry for bfns out there xxx

Quick hello to everyone still waiting. I'd love to know what symptoms so I can obsess even more compare and commiserate. I've got another week to go thinking about when I got a BFP last time (not till several days late), and it is dragging.

I've got tight lower back and some dull period pains and have done for nearly a week. This is not normal leading up to AF for me. I have a general loose/aching feeling in my bones which reminds me of my SPD which I had fairly badly with DC1. Or maybe I'm imagining it all!

I'm testing next Saturday. Due to the PCOS I have a 4 week wait not just the regular 2. Jenn, (namechanged halfway down the thread, sorry). It will be 28dpo, today is 22.
Congrats to the 3 preggers. Sorry to hear about the bfns though :(

Cosmogirl · 27/11/2011 09:25

So sorry the evil witch showed up JNO :-(

Lollopybear - hope you get some answers in the next day or so. Must be frustrating not to know what's happening. Fingers crossed for a BFP.

10 DPO today. After BFN yesterday have resisted testing and going to try to wait until Tuesday or Weds. AF due on Thurs.

Have had a go at updating the list.

Grab yourself a glass of Wine JNO18 you deserve it... sends hugs

JNO18 · 26/11/2011 22:31

AF has just arrived. Boo hiss boo. Going to look on eBay for a fertility monitor. Feel quite sad Sad

Cosmogirl · 26/11/2011 20:33

Sorry Squirrel - but good luck for next cycle.

Congrats to Westcountrywife - wonderful news.

I think I am going to wait until 12/13 dpo to do another test. Then if BFN, wait until AF shows or doesn't.

Ek when I sai  what I meant was an emoticon smiley picture!

Westcountrywife · 26/11/2011 18:08

I definitely had implantation bleeding (in hindsight) started a week before period due and lasted four/five days. Bit like a very very very light period! The poas on AF due date said no (twice), day after with expensive digital test said yeah...!

Fingers crossed JNO18... 

LoveHandles88 · 26/11/2011 17:54

Congratulations Westcountrywife. And fingers crossed JNO18.

JNO18 · 26/11/2011 17:45

wow congratulations west country wife, that's amazing news!!

I have had a spot of brown bleeding this afternoon which really upset me but actually my period usually just starts and normally my boobs kill me for days before and they don't hurt at all. So could this be implantation bleeding? Or breakthrough bleeding? I am totally knackered and still have bouts of feeling sickly. Not feeling myself at all - really hope I'm not just ill!!

Westcountrywife · 26/11/2011 16:54

BFP this morning! DH is strutting around like a stud... Eek

Hi all, apologies for my self pity yesterday!! Feel much better after a relaxing night bar of galaxy and a half lot

Sorry squirrel and anyone else out of the game for this month,

roll on December!

JNO18 · 26/11/2011 09:58

Ah I'm so sorry to hear that Squirrel. I didn't realise how hard this process would be. Hope you're ok

Squirrel77 · 26/11/2011 09:48

The B*tch from hell (AF) arrived this morning Sad

Oh well. At least I know my body is working properly again after having the Mirena taken out two months ago.

Looking forward to a mad sexathon in a few days time.

Good luck to everyone else!!!

JNO18 · 26/11/2011 08:13

PS signet I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Virtual hugs from the forum ladies Smile

JNO18 · 26/11/2011 08:11

Morning ladies

Cosmogirl it's so hard to stay away from the tests isn't it. Every month I tell myself "this month I def won't test until AF is due" but I always crack. I might get DH to hide them next month. I need saving from myself!

I've been feeling so sick but a couple of people at work have had sickness bugs so I could easily just be ill. How is everyone else feeling? Any symptoms, phantom or otherwise?!

Cosmogirl · 26/11/2011 07:59

Morning ladies, thank goodness it's the weekend! Welcome to the new posters.

Signet - sorry you are feeling so fed up. It is such a rollercoaster of emotions this TTC business.

Well, I cracked this morning and did a cheapie test and BFN. Only 9 DPO today - was supposed to wait until tomorrow but now I'm wondering if I should step away from the tests until at least 12 DPO.... On the other hand, as it is our first cycle I was going to allow myself to be a bit OTT on testing but then on other cycles reign it in!

LB - I hope AF stays away for you tomorrow.

Will do, you too. Hope you try to think about something else over the weekend x

Westcountrywife · 25/11/2011 19:48

AF due today.... Did a test this morning which said no... What is mad is the amount of my life spent worrying trying not to get preggers and now it's all I can think about. I think it's a lack of control aspect and feeling like you are the one who has to create this... Bought four more peesticks today (on offer in boots).

Saying to relax is like saying stop breathing. Nutters.

Good luck for Sunday (or prize if wait for Monday) keep us updated!
