Another BFN for me! CD 38 and I have no idea what's going on Hmm

Vikkijayne2507 · 22/07/2013 07:36

Congrata Lee very exciting

PurpleGeekyGirl · 22/07/2013 07:25

Congrats lee Grin

Science hugs. I am same. Hate hate hate ttc. It's a year for us now seeing as af arrived at 4 bloody am ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

Am so fed up. Everyone around me is pg. I am not. And each cycle that passes means I'm not sure I want to now: my ds is 10 and I am nearly 40. Do I really want to start all over again (yes of course I do and dp really went a baby but but but...).

Going to go and hide for a bit before going on holiday with my sil. Who is 14 weeks pg Hmm

Morning everyone, i didnt realise its been a week since i last posted. There's so much gone on! Ive been lurking but trying not to as much as im supposed to be a bit more relaxed about things this month.

Congrats lee and writer and all the other bfp's! And sorry to those off the bus. Its sounding promising for a few others aswell so fingers crossed!

I was doing ok this month, until my dream last night where i got a bfp, and then text a pic of it to dh. It felt very real so was rather disappointed when i woke up! Hopefully im following writer and the dream may turn out to be reality. Im somewhere in the middle of the 2ww, no symptoms at all. Not even my usual pre af sore boobs. But there's still plenty of time yet.

Congrats lee Thanks and sorry science xoxox

AF is due for me today but no sign yet. Took a test this morning and yet another bfn.

I'm 14dpo... Unless of course I ovulated a day or so later than I thought.

I'm basing when I ovulated around when I got my smiley OPKs. One on the Sunday morning and another on the Monday. All my apps say I ovulated Monday but I suppose I could've ovulated tues or wed?

We only dtd on the Monday and Tuesday so... I dunno what's going on really.

Or maybe i didn't ovulate at all. Who knows Hmm

Anyway I've packed tampax in my work bag today just in case!

Yay lee. Just looked at your stats and you say cycle 8. If you can do it so can I Smile. Enjoy your BFP!!!

LeeHandy · 22/07/2013 06:51

sciencegeek am sorry you're having a rough morning.. and I hope it isn't af for you yet.Thanks

LeeHandy · 22/07/2013 06:49

clearblue digi confirms it.. bfp! Grin it still hasn't sunk in...

ScienceGeekGirl · 22/07/2013 06:18

Well I'm gonna guess I'm out. 11dpo and my temperature just dropped. No cramps or any other signs of AF yet but I've probably got those to look forward to today. This ttc business is horrible. My body just doesn't want to do it. My school friend announced on FB that she was pregnant again and I burst into tears. First time I've done that to a pregnancy announcement so I know this try to have a baby business is really getting to me. Just wish the disappointment didn't hurt so much each month.

Writerwannabe83 · 21/07/2013 20:54

It's so funny how everyone keeps calling me Winter Grin

Maybe I need a name change Grin

CristaBell · 21/07/2013 20:26

isean it might be a good idea to do a test because I've had no symptoms what so ever I just feel the same as always.

gilly I agree with winter stay positive I been feeling irritable and snappy too, it could be the heat Smile Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 21/07/2013 20:19

Gilly - I have been pretty vile to my hubby over the last week. Moaning at him all the time, being generally grumpy with him and having mutterings under my breath, snapping at him etc. I also thought it was PMT but obviously not. Guess it was the hormones.

Stay positive!!!!! Smile x x

Isean · 21/07/2013 19:56

Hi CristaBell! No I haven't taken any other tests. I haven't had any symptoms as such so didn't really think there was any point (and I was trying not to obsess!)
Tempted to POAS tomorrow morning though!

CristaBell · 21/07/2013 19:35

isean have you taken another test since Monday? If not maybe you should because if you ovulated later then usual Monday might of been to early to test. good luck x

gillywillywoo · 21/07/2013 18:43

Well AF is due tomorrow and I'm pretty sure I'm out this month... After the outburst I just had with DH...definitely suffering from a bit of PMT I think! Hmm

OP posts:
Isean · 21/07/2013 18:12

Hello ladies!
I might have got off the July bus a stop too early as AF still hasn't arrived!
I came off the pill in March and my cycles after the withdrawal bleed have been 32, 31, 27, so I expected AF to arrive sometime last weekend, but nothing & I am now on CD 37. This is the longest cycle I have EVER had.
I had to take a pregnancy test on Monday (CD 31) at the doctor's and it was negative. I have no idea if I ovulated this month or not, I used cheapie OPKs for about 10 days but I wasn't consistent and I never got a line any day I used them.

Do you think I still have a chance this month or is it just a weirdly long cycle and my body is still settling after coming off the pill?

Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated! Smile x

armywag21 · 21/07/2013 17:59

Just ordered 20 ic's Smile will be here in 3-5 days so if I haven't had af turn up by then I'll start testing. Got awful cramps today.. Sad

ThoraNomiki · 21/07/2013 17:06

Yay BFP's so happy for you all! Grin Good Luck for tomorrow's POAS LeeHandy I hope you get a nice strong positive!
I'm getting strong urges to POAS every time I need a wee now. I don't - I'm sure it would be a waste. I may do another one tomorrow.

I've had some more EWCM the last couple of days as well. I was getting a bit miserable about it thinking it was a sign this would be another messed up long month with potentially false Ovulation signs so now I'm feeling more positive that it could be a pregnancy symptom (still trying not to get my hopes up too much though)

gillywillywoo · 21/07/2013 12:33

Grin Probably not but take a paracetamol!

MightyQuin1201 · 21/07/2013 12:26

I'm 5 dpo and keep having headaches... Is that a symptom? Hmm
