Big Hug Kicking don't know what to say except give you another big hug :(
With your symptoms, missed period and BFNs if I was in your place I'd feel the same frustration. I hope you will go see the GP if AF doesn't arrive tomorrow. I could harpoon those women too! Will miss you on the forum but do come back. I hope you find out soon what's going in there so you know for sure.

Gutted for you happily more DTD for June. Fx Junes the month.

everything have you POAS? I didn't sleep too well last night as the stabbing pain went on till late night. No stabs this morning but have been feeling strong cramps and lot of gas Blush and bloated. No sore boobs, no change in CM.
trying to not get too hopeful as the disappointment will be immense.

when are you going to test countrykitty and when was AF due? Lots of Luck!

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 09:46

Hi Kicking Sorry you feel so down. When's your doctor's app? Hopefully he will be able to give you some answers. I think you're right to stop testing. If you were pg then you will still be whether you test or not, and if you're not, then there's no point torturing yourself. Goodluck over the next few days.

KickingUpQuestions · 16/05/2012 09:35

I may stay off the forum for a bit. Another negative test and no AF.

How I feel today in summary:

I have done ovulation testing, I pretty much know everything that a layman would know and then some. I have studied research done on women, I know the stats and the theory, I know what theoretically should work and what shouldn't, I know that taking your temps is actually pointless because you ovulate before the spike, I know the theoretically physiological changes. There is pretty much nothing I haven't read up on what I shoudl or shouldn't be doing around this time and the funny thing is the amount of people who have had babies or who are pregnant who say "just relax and it will happen". I want to harpoon them.

Women get pregnant during drinking, smoking, high stress situations, emotionally abusive relationships, physically abusive relationships, drugs, happy times, sad times. I don't drink, smoke, have stress, I'm not abused, I have a good home life, I am happy.

Now though, I will admit that I feel like a failure and that I feel like I am torturing myself over nothing. I am on my 4th day of being late but I have a lot of period pain type cramps. Apparently, they are only supposed to be there for a day or two and I had what I thought was implantation cramps over the weekend, no cramps on Monday and then cramps again yesterday and today.

My breasts hurt more in the evening and I've tested negative all week. And I do test in the morning. I do tend to drink a lot of liquid - I've been very thirsty for the last two weeks or so and knocking back about 5L a day. We had a big fight (but good for our relationship) right about when I should have ovulated so maybe it just kicked my cycle out.

Either way, today is the fourth day of no period and I tested negative again so I am over it. It's like torturing yourself for information you just don't have. My back is sore, my hips are sore and my tummy is crampy so I took ibuprofen this morning. I am tired of being sore for no reason. And tired for no reason. I just can't sleep enough.

And the thing is that if any of those were as a result of pregnancy, it would mean that the pregnancy hormone is in my body enough to MAKE a difference, which would mean that I would test positive.

But I am not.

Therefore, not pregnant. :D

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 09:30

everything That all sounds really positive! How many dpo are you? Would you be able to test today?

Even though I'm refusing to POAS I want you to!

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 09:09

Morning red :) how are you today??

Sorry happily :( but here's too another month off DTD, lots of baby dust!

Only thing to report for me, is really bad stomach this morningBlush
.. me-tally taste in mouth, feel a little nauseous! Could all be related too AF though how annoying :( no soar boobs or CM, But thats different than usual, usualy increased CM before AF!
It's hard to stay positive though, u just get used to the dissapointment.
3days anyway + i will no for sure! will be testing tomorrow :)

Morning,

Happily Sorry AF arrived. At least you can crack on with the acupuncture now. No experience of this myself but i've heard loads of positive stories about it. Goodluck!

Well AF not turned up yet. Still got the cramps and lower back pain but none of the usual bloatedness or agony boobs, just tingly. Knicker checking galore here!

Goodluck to anyone testing this morning. x

Happilymarried155 · 16/05/2012 08:54

No need to wait for AF arrived this morning :( never mind x

redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 08:35

Morning All

Happily that sounds frustrating! I don't know whether these doctors realize 18months is a bloody long time when you want something so bad!
I do hope the acupuncture has positive results for you x

Fx for positive BFPs for all!

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 07:38

kicking i just ment like i wasn't ovulating or the lining wasn't thickening proply for implantation, ive on been ttc 4months since MC, so n ot long at all really just feels like forever, but ive been pg twice with 1 healthy full term (42+1weeks) pregnancy, so there's hope.

  • maybe when u concieve again joyful it may be multiples :o xx

Happilymarried155 · 16/05/2012 07:13

Joyful it doesn't mean there is something wrong, I have been ttc a year now and convinced myself I wasnt ovulating! Went crying to the doctors, had a blood tests and my results were great in fact I realise numerous eggs each month (which is pretty annoying as all these eggs have been going to waste each month!) after these tests I spoke to my doctor & she won't do any more tests on dh and I until we have been ttc for two years! She said its perfectly normally for it to take up to 18 months to concieve but you just find that people tend no to talk about it.

Keep positive, I'm starting acupuncture this month if AF arrives to sort out my stress levels!

Anyway two more days until I can test although I have a feeling I may crack tommorow as its my day off so I won't be busy and distracted!

I hope we have a BFP today to get the ball rolling!! :)

JoyfulJoyful · 15/05/2012 23:15

Hi CountryKitty,

Thank you for your lovely message and I'm so sorry that you've been through this twice. It's just so awful..... I feel as if I've done all I can but it's not happening.

Here's hoping June is a better month!

CountryKitty · 15/05/2012 22:43

Hi Joyful

I also mc at the start of Feb @ 7 weeks and in March @ 5 weeks (too soon after 1st mc and nothing to implant into so says midwife). And I'm not pg again yet either. But, we will get pg again, as we've done it before and therefore it can be done again!

I burst into uncontrollable snotty tears last month at my docs (wasn't even there for me!). I think it just shows that our hormones are still all over the place and that we're totally normal as it is a really stressul time. I felt so down and genuinely depressed last month but much better this month (and AF is probably making an arrival tom). I really hope you feel better soon. x

JoyfulJoyful · 15/05/2012 22:13

everything thanks for asking but I don't know if I'm ok. I am TTC #1. When I conceived in Jan, I wasn't ovulating. I know this because I saw AF on 24th Dec, DTD 1st Jan, used OPKs and didn't get smileys till 3rd & 4th which was CD12? I am so confused now and almost think something is wrong too. DTD everyday last cycle from CD 12 till CD16 yet nothing!

KickingUpQuestions · 15/05/2012 21:57

what do you mean there is something wrong?

everythinghappensforareason · 15/05/2012 21:55

of course u deserve good things kicking

joyful i hope you are okay, r u ttc#1 aswel?

At times i forget how blessed i am too have DS, was not planned. still over the moon when found out. But its really hit me the last 6months, all this stress etc. I didn't even no what an opk was a few months ago!!

really starting to convince myself their must be something wrong :(

oh my god wtf ?!!!

why did my phone add heterosexual?!!

i am going to sleep

:D

KickingUpQuestions · 15/05/2012 21:53

ok first sentence added the word symptoms

and last paragraph was about me feeling like i wpuls never heterosexual married

KickingUpQuestions · 15/05/2012 21:52

i accidentally told dh that this all symptomscontributed to my feeling of worthlessness and feeling like i don't deserve good things. i have some mind issues

but then i remember .that i felt he same about getting married and i would never meet someone i could love and how wrong i was there

JoyfulJoyful · 15/05/2012 21:46

I dont remember ever being this stressed in my life! It's no wonder my blood pressure is up. I went to the Dr for something totally non TTC related and all she said was 'oh hello' and I burst into tears. It's definitely got to be worth it in the end. I want a babyyyyyyyyyyy

KickingUpQuestions · 15/05/2012 21:44

abduction should be and.

autocorrect gonna gets me arrested

KickingUpQuestions · 15/05/2012 21:43

happily - that was my symptom this last weekend. then cramping today but that is gone again. i normally only cramp once AF arrives.

we have been ttc officially for 8 months. i was on folic acid three months before that and we stopped contraceptives 10 months ago. first baby. first love. first real sex life. at least we like each other :D

welcome 3littlebirds :)

i swear every now and then, i get a post nasal drip taste. abduction i have not been ill lately. yuck

everythinghappensforareason · 15/05/2012 21:29

It does make u this way kicking, how long have u been ttc now? is this DC#1??

happily i was going too, but ive came to the conclusion, most of us are secret poas'ers + major symptom spotters haha!!

littlebirds theres always hope :) maybe because your not expecting it, it could be your turn :)

OP posts:
3littlebirds · 15/05/2012 20:55

Hi guys, newby here. So sorry to hear about your loss Kitten & Joyful, really does suck :(

Fx for the rest of you guys with symptoms too.

I've got about 5-8 days till AF due (not overly regular), I have had an AWFUL month at work so I've been pretty stressed, travelling up and down the country (during OV time) so have no doubt that AF will turn up this month....there is hope of course, and lots of crossed fingers.

Happilymarried155 · 15/05/2012 20:53

We should have done a stats list so we knew when everyone was due/testing!

Iv still got a full ache in my lower tummy not sure if this is preparation for AF or a symptom ha ha! Have to wait and see! Good luck everyone testing tommorow x

KickingUpQuestions · 15/05/2012 20:44

I hope one of us gets something. It would mean that we aren't all symptom spotting cervix checking nutters

I am going batty though...
