Don't think I've spoken to you before Lexi, but I'm sorry for the BFN. Its really shitty especially when AF seems to have gone so astray, I'm sure our bodies like to try to trick us and play games with our minds when it matters the most. And men really really don't understand.

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 16:36

Got the result, negative.

I don't know what to say.

Pissed of at DH he came home and I was having a little cry, asks what's wrong so i explain and he says "we'll try again next month, I thought it was something serious when I saw you crying"

If I'd had my period as normal it would of been ok but it now seems such a let down. Spoke to a lovely nurse who has left message for doctor about whether I should see him in regards to lateness of period with negative result.

Impatient lexi ? You have endless patience if you ask me! I'd have ranted and raved at the receptionist probably resulting g in me getting struck off their list plus I'd have peed on a million sticks by now!

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 15:45

Sound nice waves lucky you, I'm still waiting for my birthday present from months ago, think DH has completely forgotten now it's so long ago. Not because he's an arse, just because we've had alot of financial commitments recently and birthday presents not really a priority.

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 15:41

Not really to sure of the telephone appointment, they have a message line for the doctors which is who I called on monday and they started the ball rolling on having urine sample tested in the first place, tbh I think if I try the message line they'll just give me the results direct dial number as there wouldn't be another message for the doctor except for shouting CHECK MY FLIPPIN RESULTS WILL YOU.

If I don't get a result today think I may just have to poas in the morning, I'm so bloody inpatient sometimes.

wavesandsmiles · 17/10/2012 15:38

Lexi - really hoping you have luck soon with the results!

DH is now getting twitchy that AF has made no appearance (now 8 days late) and wants me to get a "proper" test as opposed to the internet cheapies that he reckons must be fake as he doesn't see how you can buy 25 for £4 when the proper ones are so much more pricey. I am horribly tempted to wait til Monday though. I would like to say to save money in case AF appears before then, but secretly it is because I want a glass of champagne up the Oxo Tower where I am being taken for lunch on Saturday. He's booked it as a birthday treat purely because of the thread about it on Mumsnet which resulted in me crying with laughter and spitting tea all over my keyboard at work.

JellyCurls · 17/10/2012 15:24

Hi lexi, hope you get answer soon. Keeping everything crossed for you. Can you call and ask for an telephone appointment with nurse or Dr or will evil & nasty receptionst not give you one?

TakingTheStairs · 17/10/2012 15:07

Could you pop into the surgery? You might get more help if you're face to face?

Doctors' receptionists can be appalling, can't they?

I'd ring up again later if I were you. Would you recognise her voice so you could hang up before talking?!

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 14:22

MrsBri I didn't question the original delay from yesterday afternoon to this morning as I assumed it was just a mistake. The lady this morning was nice and just asked me to call after lunch but the lady this afternoon said the results weren't in, I said that I was told that they are in but awaiting looking over from the doctor and she got rather shirty with me and said I'd just have to call back tomorrow.

The result line doesn't close till 4:30 so why there isn't still time for the doctor to get them on screen I do not know. Think I shall ignore and call back later if I dare, don't want to get the same women again especially if it's negative would rather someone with a bit of empathy.

MrsBri · 17/10/2012 14:05

That's really frustrating. It really annoys me when people in the same place say different things.

Did you query the inconsistency?

TakingTheStairs · 17/10/2012 13:55

ggggrrrrr. So frustrating for you lexi

Congratulations MrsBri Smile

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 13:52

I can't get my results.

Why is everything so frustrating. When I spoke to nurse on monday she told me to bring in sample tuesday morning and would have results that afternoon, when I took the sample in the receptionist said to call for results wednesday morning, called this morning and told to call after lunch, just called and told to call back tomorrow. Aaaarrrrr

MrsBri · 17/10/2012 13:40

Actually, 4wk 2days! Wishing time away there!!

MrsBri · 17/10/2012 13:39

Good luck Lexi.

And thank you did mentioning that book as I'm 5wk 2days with very few symptoms.

Reassuring to know. :-)

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 11:31

I have phoned for results, they are back but the doctor hasn't had a chance to check them yet, got to phone again after lunch.

Laptopgirl · 17/10/2012 11:25

Thinking of you Lexi! x

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 09:38

waves Completely agree if I'm not pregnant ok but I just want to know, not long to wait now, it's like the longest poas wait ever.

Also I hired a book called the day by day pregnancy book, premature I know but it was when I was confident that I was pregnant and on the 5 weeks 1day page which is today it does say how common it is to have no signs, I'm sure your know that already but just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for eveyone's good wishes, didn't sleep well with the cramping but it has eased off now. Spotting seems to be getting slightly heavier each day.

wavesandsmiles · 17/10/2012 09:13

Congratulations to you nanny. If it's any reassurance, my 2 are just under 18 months apart. I got a double buggy but hardly used it. I got one of those buggy boards instead and that seemed to work really well.

Lexi I really hope you get some good news after 10.30. I am hating the wait myself. Kind of wish AF would just arrive so I knew I was on a new cycle and could get going again. But still, no sign of her, and no pg symptoms either.

DH is taking me to London this weekend for my birthday, so REALLY hoping that AF comes today and disappears quick, or holds off til Monday!

weechops fx that this is your month!

nannyl · 17/10/2012 07:43

good luck lexi.

thank you all for your good wishes.... im getting over the shock now and accepting it.
Yesturdai was surprised but today im very happy!

Dexidoo · 17/10/2012 06:41

Hugs lexi hope that you have been ok overnight

littlepinkfizz · 16/10/2012 21:48

The wait is terrible lexi. I know I was finally relieved when AF came as I knew I was on a new cycle and another opportunity for a BFP. It's so hard being in limbo.x

Grannyapple · 16/10/2012 20:41

Ooh congrats nanny

Fx lexi AF stays away...

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 20:35

Have been spotting a little again today, now having really bad cramps, much worse than I usually get before AF.

Don't really know why I'm posting. DH is at the gym I'm on my own, just feeling a little low Sad
