Arg!

Where the jeff is AF? Every single peed on stick gives a BFN, so why is she so reluctant to appear. She's just trying to bg up her own role in proceedings am sure.

Grrr.

ellesabe · 26/02/2012 08:28

Mine definitely isn't pmt. I have ewcm at the mo so pretty sure I'm ov'ing. I'm on cd18 so will be interested to see if my whole cycle is long with ov being quite late.

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/02/2012 07:23

I felt like that yesterday too, it's quite early for PMT though.

Hope I feel more upbeat today, dh takes a beating (NOT literally!) when im in that kind of mood.

I wish I was the type of person who didn't care when I got preg and could go with the flow but I can't and the closer it gets to AF date the more obsessed I become.
We've dtd every other day for 2 weeks! There's no way I'm missing the window this month.

ImpatientOne · 25/02/2012 22:54

I am fed up too but that's because I have had a tiny bit of spotting the last 2 days so am pretty sure it's AF on the way :(

Does mean I have managed at least a 10 day LP though but this is a silver lining that's just not doing it for me at the moment! Hmm

Winkly · 25/02/2012 22:52

Tired, forgetful, sobbing like a baby at the drop of a hat - ticking all the PMT boxes. Roll on Tuesday so AF can come and I can get my disappointment over with.

Elle, have some Wine - tis medicinal.

DesperateHousewife21 · 25/02/2012 21:36

Thanks winkly it's better now and we still managed to dtd!

I really wish I had a sort of x ray machine that would give me an insight into what's going on in there.

backwardpossom · 25/02/2012 20:10

For all you symptom spotters - my only real signs were my chart, I got the dip below the coverline at 9 dpo then a big rise and it stayed up, also didn't get my normal PMS (night sweats running up to AF), oh and Cervix started to go soft.

All the best with everyone waiting, if it is any consolation I am probably older than any of you, so you've every chance. If you are starting a new cycle and not used preseed, it might be worth a try, I used that for the first time last month (although I did a ton of things differently)

Winkly · 25/02/2012 11:44

Hi, can I join please? I'm 11dpo (I think, I don't chart or temp - yet!) and AF due on Tuesday 28th. Serious symptom spotting going on here! This is our 4th cycle of trying for our first baby. On my phone so afraid I can't add myself to the list easily.

DesperateHousewife21 · 25/02/2012 11:10

Same happened to me last month AF showed up 8 days late it's a horrible time isn't it when you're in limbo. Hope you get some news soon.

ChairOfTheBored · 25/02/2012 08:46

So, AF, having been settled in a very happy 28.5 day cycle for months, is now late. Am in a 3WW now, but tests give BFN.

What's going on? If AF is going to turn up, I wish she'd get on with it, so we knew one way or the other.

DesperateHousewife21 · 25/02/2012 08:05

pip I can relate to everything you've just said. All the obsessive symptom spotting and analysing CM every day.
Sometimes I think just chill woman! If I stopped thinking about it so much it'll prob happen faster/ easier.

Still got 8ish days to go and that'll be testing early too. I so hope it happens this month. Im young and relatively healthy!

pipsicles · 25/02/2012 06:54

Bugger...pressed submit way to early - sorry!

...your CM pattern, Pogo is as perfectly normal as the 'stereotypical' CM pattern. Right now, I'm having really difficulty working out whether mine is dry, or creamy, which I know sounds stupid - surely you can tell the difference, but it seems to be creamy in very small amounts! I know I'm over-analysing, but the reason it worries me is because creamy CM is a more positive sign than dry CM according to fertility friend, and I don't want to go getting my hopes up because I'm inputting slightly wrong data and then be all the more devastated when AF shows next week IYSWIM?! Now I'm on 48 pg points on ff and I'm REALLY worried I'm getting my hopes up! What if the headache I entered is just because I had a headache, and nothing to do with being pg, or the fatigue I keep entering is just because of late nights and early mornings with DS and I just need to get myself to bed early and then I'll feel fine?! Sorry! I HATE the 2ww with a passion Angry It's also not helping that my upstairs neighbour just told me yesterday that she got a BFP at the beginning of the week. :( Also, I know DH won't be all cut up about it because we weren't supposed to be trying yet - he'll probably be quite relieved :( He'll do his best to understand, but I know he just won't get it.

Sorry for the massive moan at such an early hour - I didn't realise I was feeling quite so low (in fairness, I haven't been up long enough to know!)

pipsicles · 25/02/2012 06:44

Welcome Pogo and congratulations Beeble - has it sunk in yet, are you do the thing where you worry that you're NOT getting symptoms, so something must be wrong?! Not that I ever did anything like that Blush

The problem with CM is that it is different for everyone - I was doing some more obsessive swotting up yesterday and read that you
