3 weeks? They don't rush these things do they? I've just been to the loo and there was a little bit of blood, tiny but noticable, I'm really going to have to keep myself busy the next week so I don't drive myself insane

NewlymrsB · 27/03/2014 09:07

Sorry to hear Nordic :(

MrsExtraOrdinary · 27/03/2014 09:04

It's so blinking confusing Linda and extremely frustrating. I booked my TFTs finally got to wait 3 wks for a blood test?! Shock Then I'm moving practices.

Nordic I'm so sorry. Thanks

lindamagoo · 27/03/2014 09:00

Aw Nordic I'm sorry to hear that x

lindamagoo · 27/03/2014 08:59

MrsE I had my first af after the pill bang on the day it was due but I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the same happens this cycle

Nordicmom · 27/03/2014 08:54

Bleeding properly now so it's over for me . Feeling quite upset after getting that thin line yesterday . Did another in the eve that was beginning to show a bit too so the hormones were definitely there but then a bust as usual :(... Loss number 11 for me then 12 in total including our first try with surrogate when she first tested positive but it didn't get far and they suspected ectopic ...moving on to the april thread for now but not sure we'll try next month . I can't have this constant nausea anymore for one . I'm sure it's partly the hormones hanging around from last cycle and then it got worse with the hormones from this . It's lasted for weeks afterwards for me before when I wasn't sick .I might need a break ... Good luck to all of you !

MrsExtraOrdinary · 27/03/2014 08:50

Newly I keep having that feeling then nothing. It actually will be a sort of relief if af comes, so I know I can try again. It's this limbo that does our heads in I think.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 27/03/2014 08:47

The time I came off the pill (was only on it momentarily) it stretched my cycle. I just never had a period afterwards but I couldn't have ov ed 2wks after, it must have been a bit later, as then I didn't get a bfp for ages. In those days they went by your lmp for a baby due date, not the scan, so of course he was 10 days overdue in theory. But spontaneous onset so I've always been a bit dubious. It could just be that surge will be a bit later.

NewlymrsB · 27/03/2014 08:45

MrsE I'm also on day 31, although I'm thinking when I go check it's all going to be over, have that feeling. Wish cycles were only 14 days it's torture every cycle!!

lindamagoo · 27/03/2014 08:42

MrsE how frustrating for you, it's so not fair Hmm I'm not sure, I thought I was about 7/8dpo but don't really know when or if I ov'd this month, think coming off the pill has maybe messed me up a bit

MrsExtraOrdinary · 27/03/2014 08:37

Linda I'm back to bfn this morning. How many dpo are you? I'm wondering now whether I completely missed ov and it was much later? I'm cd31 today. Heading for another long cycle Hmm

lindamagoo · 27/03/2014 07:25

Just my luck to get a batch of ic hpt's that show up a very convincing (evap) line grrrrrrrrrrr ?

Oh dear, I'm not on my phone on a commute, I'm just a bit of a div!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 21:59

Retro I'm swinging between its a bean that can't find anywhere to stick, to ds didn't show up a positive until about 7wks pg after 99 million BFNs, to its a crappy batch of tests, to I've subconsciously coloured In the tests with a felt tip in the night while sleep walking! I'm with you on the not testing until a f shows up next month and also dreading the fact I may now have to go to the gym! Fuck it! Wink no blood yet, tomorrow I'm officially 17dpo, unless I'm not that at all I oved late and got in a muddle! Like you said plonker is a good word to describe my current state of mind!

NewlymrsB · 26/03/2014 21:59

Oh it's all sounding very sad in here as we draw to the end of the cycle. Come on ladies someone give us some hope :)

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 21:47

Dubis I also have fx and tx for you too! I have endometriosis too and it took 18mts post mc last time. But I did get there surprisingly. I really thought there was no hope. I'd already been operated on and in addition have thyroid problems and am permanently anemic. I'm not sure how but it did happen.

There are diets that help with endo, I expect you've tried that, but my cousin who after 15 years of ttc and on 4th round of ivf finally did succeed with twins after she went on wheat and dairy free diet. I bit drastic but it worked. I think the best thing to do it to try and keep an open mind to all these things when it seems so bleak.

I had a Wave of nausea hit me earlier this eve and poas, another result with the look of a bfp but smudgey. I don't know why I'm testing anymore because I really think I'm out this month now. Surely it must be a bad batch of tests as why would I get such conflicting results. 3 tests left and Then they are officially gone! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 26/03/2014 21:24

Ditto! dubie sounds like it has been really tough on you and you have been through the mill, so to speak. Don't give up hope -could still be too early!

Nordicmom · 26/03/2014 21:18

Dubie I've got my fingers x for u !

Littlebear81 · 26/03/2014 21:00

dubie don't lose heart, you're not out yet.

I'm not sure abut AF as cycles have been quite long since coming off pill. First was 40 days then 46 last month. On cd38 today. Feel like I'm starting to go mad-swear my boobs now hurt too but still wearing a sports bra after going to the gym hours ago so could easily be that!

dubiesista · 26/03/2014 20:45

littlebear they could be symptoms! When is AF due? kate I'm 12dpo (i think as I don't temp) - 31 day cycle, AF due on Sat. Mrs thanks for your support. TBH my boobs are the same as when I was pregnant last year ( ended in MC) - I was told it was unlikely I would get pregnant naturally due to endometriosis and pcos, so when I had a shock pregnancy last year I was so so happy - now I feel slightly like that was my one and only chance. I'm sorry for being so negative tonight (I'm currently having a little cry whilst I type) but it's all getting a bit much.

Littlebear81 · 26/03/2014 20:27

I share your pain girls! I've not tested on a branded one this month yet. DH has suggested I test at some point over the weekend-I was thinking tomorrow of or Friday! How little they understand how impatient we all are!

Still feeling tired, peeing quite a bit and had headaches today. Is that a good sign or am I just having a busy week, drinking too much and have a slight headache (which isn't unusual for me)?!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 20:14

Gosh dubie, that does sound like a good thing! Iyswim

Has anyone found bfns on these internet strips then bfps on other brands? At the same dpo not later on?

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 20:09

How many dpo are you dubie? The nipples are a good sign!

Hi ladies, I've had a couple of quieter days on MN as I've been travelling a lot for work - not caught up yet, so congrats to the BFP's! and FX for the rest of us still waiting. I'm feeling less and less confident this month - very teary today and feel like I'm coming down with a cold. BFN's every morning is making very Sad - I have had constant cramps since 3dpo and tmi - my nipples are now huge (which means I will probably have more nipple than boob if this carries on)...
