Keep taking folic acid!! You should have started like 3 months before trying so take everyday from now on! (unless you are!)

I have always taken the folic acid but now am doing the pregnacare wellness range. I've been on folic acid for over a year now. Stupid thing.

Yep - will know either way. I have my mate googling the random internal swelling I've had for ages. I have no idea what "engorged" innards means?

everythinghappensforareason · 15/05/2012 09:18

Ohh kicking i do hope AF stays away :) Hoping u will no one way or another in the next few days!!

I'm dying too no aswell, Ive taken folic acid last few days incase. just a waiting game now, wish i wasn't so impatient x

Still BFN and still no AF

Apart from the ghostly, barely there ClearBlue last night.

We're on the fence. We're not getting excited or depressed about it. I could come on today but I also know that if I did implant on Saturday, it's too early for hormones.

Feeling a bit crampy this morning though...

everythinghappensforareason · 15/05/2012 09:05

Hi Ladies, sorry you still haven't got a definate answer kicking. i took my last internet cheapy yesterday. Could of swore i had a "ghost of a line" was very evapy looking though. and i possible only implanted yesterday, if at all. i experiences some mild period like cramps + increased CM, feel fine this morning though. Should have my tests i ordered here Thursday, I should no for sure then, AF due Saturday!!

This ttc does make u bonkers haha! I think this is the worst bit of all, these few days before AF is due + we start breaking out the tests and willing there too be two lines and if there isn't,we imagine theres 1 ;) xx

I'm testing in June but have no symptoms at all. Lol yes we have married well. Ooo I might give the google breasts a go. Must remember to clear such history before family pop in this weekend! You never know who might grab the iPad these days!!

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 22:08

They are good arent they? He is so chilled and I am a mentalist.

Its a right bugger that most of the early pregnancy symtoms are the same as AF ones. It would have been better to develop green spots or something!

Are you both going to test in the morning? Good luck and let me know how you get on.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 22:03

red - i had no pain or tenderness until Saturday. should have cone on yesterday

ha i am getting dh to Google imags of breasts :D

we obviously married well

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 21:45

I made my DP test mine for hotness. He is really relaxed about the whole thing good job as I am obsessed!

Maybe I should go to the drs then. I think 28-35 days is normal which is why I havent been before, but 37 is just to long.

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 21:29

Hi everyone I can't seem to stop thinking so might as well join in the banter!
Kicking Smile

I am hopping to get some symptoms soon - just had a good grope around the boobs - nothing! Hubs holding head in hands thinking I'm going mental.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:27

pickled - ouch those cycles are long.

generally, a blood test can pick up hcg 2-3 days before a urine test. but i would go and get the full hormone test to make sure everything was normal

there is so much crap.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:20

yours must have been devastated. my mindset changes the longer we try.

i am 30 and dh is 31. we can be cycle buddies!!

i won't tell many people either. luckily we had a positive test on xmas eve and i seemed to start AF on xmas day.

are you sure your AF is today?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 21:17

I would have thought yesterday, I have had two 33 day cycles (which I thought was normal) a 35 one last month, and this month I had a positive OPK one day later then the month before, so I would have thought yesterday. Im on CD 37 now.

queen from my obsessive trawling of google research the urine tests at the doctors are not really any more sensitive than ones you can do at home. See what happens today and if no AF I guess test tomorrow.

Looks like we all ovulated on the same day!

Ive been tempted tp take Angus Castus as its supposed to regulate your periods, but ive read a lot of people saying you should see a herbalist first, so Im not sure.

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 21:13

We got married in August, I'm 27 & he's 32. What about you?

Sorry to hear about chemical pg, I can understand why you want to be cautious this time around. Its strange how attached you get in such a short time isn't it? Although my pg wasn't planned it was still awful when it ended. I had told everyone too and I hated having to tell them all it was over. This time around I am going to be more cautious myself and wait until after first scan before I tell many people.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:13

sorry about your mc. that sucks :(

i will go for blood tests on Thursday if nothing happens. but i know if i don't get a positive by Thursday, i probably just have a hormone imbalance :(

but ow my breasts are just getting more sore!! they hurt now without a bra and without touching them. i don't think i have ever had this sore before

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:06

hey random!! when did you get married?!

and how old are you guys?

we got married in November and started trying fairly soon before we get married.

we started planning three months before that as well.

my dh is sure we had a chemical pg in December. 10 days late. then when AF arrived i was very sore. so we are being cautious this time

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 21:00

I don't have kids yet but have been pregnant once before which unfortunately ended at 9 weeks. That was quite a long time ago though and it wasn't planned so I can't remember whether I had any symptoms before af should have been due! However once I found out I remember having really sore boobs and a raging hunger, then started getting nausea & sickness at about 5-6 weeks. DH & I have only been properly trying for a few months, although we stopped using contraception after we got married last summer to 'see what happened'. Nothing did happen though so we've been taking it a lot more seriously these last couple of months! Its frustrating though that I got pregnant seemingly easily when we weren't trying and now that we are nothing is happening!

Just an idea, if still no af by Thursday maybe ask the doc for a blood test?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:56

pickled - when are you due?

my phone isn't the best at this stuff

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:55

i know what you mean about ttc driving you crazy.

my raging thirst is abating a bit. i still drink a lot but its not as bad as it was...

i told my husband i had AF so he wouldn't worry but then i imagined that white line on my test and told him i lied

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:50

my breasts are just getting more tender and i was due yesterday. i find it strange that the tenderness started on Saturday. since when does breast tenderness occur after AF is due?!!

if i am not imaging things - think i implanted on Saturday. i don't ever get pre AF cramps. AF starts and two hours later, the pain starts

any other symptoms ladies?

is this all out first attempt at reproducing or door you have kids?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:41

Oh if you both saw it thats promising isnt it?

It does take some people longer than others, I spoke to a lady the other day who had to wait a week and a half before a positive test.

Im pretty sure I ovulated on 30th April or 1at May as well, had a positive OPK on the 29th.

I was convinced I was pregnant last month, so its made be doubt myself. I had no symptoms at all with my first apart from hot boobs. I think my boobs are hot. Argh!

When do you think you implanted?

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 20:39

I ovulated 1st May too kicking - I was CONVINCED we'd finally cracked it this month as I've had many of the same symptoms that you have described. I checked an implantation predictor chart too and think it will have been around Friday that I would have implanted if I was pregnant based on my usual cycle length etc, surely today (the day before af is due) would be too late for me to be implanting so I'm sure that the spotting I'm having today is the start of af.

I hope that your lack of af means that you're pregnant but that its still just too early to show up on an HPT.

I'm starting to wonder whether I actually had any of those symptoms at all or whether I just imagined them all?! ttc is driving me crazy!

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:26

queen - if i am right about implantation, it would take 5 days from then to show up in a urine test.

will do it first thing in the morning until Thursday if no AF . then will go to the doc

i guess its what everyone says right before getting AF?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:22

i am the same!! i ovulate on 1 may. i had slight cramps and ovulation spotting. then i had cramping Saturday and yesterday and a couple drops on sat. cramps last night in bed

then nothing today

are you normally in tune with your body?

i thought i had had a bunch of pg symptoms but i don't believe them anyway anymore

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 20:21

kicking if you think you might have seen a line earlier then test again in the morning if still no af? Keeping everything crossed for you.

I've got more cramping and a bit more blood when I go to the loo so I'm now sure that I'm definitely out for this month, fully expecting af to be here properly tomorrow.

pickled fx for you too.
