Just wondering if anyone else is still in limbo?! Now on CD35, no sign of AF, bfn on test (I think, hard to wonder if I imagine these shadows of lines on the ICs). Loads of symptoms but don't want to let myself get excited in case AF shows and it's all in my head. Anyone else in the same situation?

Evening all, how are you today? :)

I am on cd40 now. Possibly 3 or 4 days past ovulation, if I ovulated. I just guessed with ewcm... Probably should have done an opk but sick of seeing single lines on any pee sticks. I've got about 20 left too, so not much of an excuse.

Pretty sure DH has changed his mind and does not want to ttc anymore. He was in 2 minds about it anyway, and then when my period didn't turn up he got quite funny about it. I'm trying not to be too upset as we are blessed to have 3 beautiful children already. I just feel he has been a little cruel to play with my feelings like this, knowing how much I want another child.

I know I must sound ungrateful and I'm really not, I was just so excited.

I think I'll be leaving the conception boards now, I don't need to worry why af hasn't turned up. I might go and ask for coil contraception this week. :( :( :(

Good luck to all of you on your ttc and pregnancy journeys. I wish you all the best. FlowersCakeBiscuitWineFlowers

Fingers crossed for you too MSMB

I'm so relieved to find this thread! I've been off the pill 10 months and always really regular then this month I'm a week late and still just BFNs over and over! It's stressful and I want to just know either way... But would obviously just love a BFP! Spoke to a pharmacist today and she told me she didn't get her BFP until she was 8 weeks so fingers crossed for all of us that maybe the tests just aren't showing up! Really hope that AF just isn't late... Spending so much time going to the loo just the check! Xx good luck girls xxx

I have felt really tired and sicky, bloated, mild cramps but different to AF - more like pulling and pinching - and a pulling feeling near my belly button. Cloudy white CM (some timed a little yellow-ish tmi!) and very gassy. Good luck to all - I'm just really hoping my little bean will stick!

Ah wow massive congrats MaG and CPCoco!! What fab news, you must both be stunned Grin

AFM CD47 and nothing, I'm away with work at the mo and currently lazing by the pool with the mindset AF will come when she comes. Hopefully I can keep that mindset when I'm home!

Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

cherrypiecoco · 31/08/2014 10:43

I was getting cramps but mainly in the night. For the past few days been very tired, not your usual tiredness. My boobs were sore on and off. I had lower backpains and feeling emotional. Hope that helps!

CherryPie3 · 30/08/2014 21:40

Wow congratulations you two :) :) :)

Beaverfeaver2 · 30/08/2014 15:53

Congratulations to you both!
Fingers crossed something happens soon with me.

No idea if I'm getting false negatives or if I'm on just a crazy long cycle.

How were your symptoms before BFP?

I have docs appointment booked for 2 weeks time if nothing shows.

Have not bought any more tests so will sit and wait it out for now

cherrypiecoco · 30/08/2014 14:52

Congratulations!!!!!!! Flowers

MaGratgarlik1983 · 30/08/2014 14:40

Ah - I meant on the IC! But no worries - I saw something so I took a FRER and BFP! Can't quite believe it!!!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 30/08/2014 11:10

Yesterday I had a tiny bit of pink when I wiped like mixed in with jelly-type CM (sorry tmi!) And today my temp is going up, sore bbs, tired, pulling again where af pains usually are. But don't want to test yet - can't face another bfn!!

Sending you tissues Donna but dw all will be well and worth it all in the end. Well thats what i keep telling myself atleast! I had iui done 17days ago and before that had to self inject but im terrified of needles so DH had to do it for me. Anyway the dr said i should test on the 18th day (tmw) so im pretty nervous. Im 5days late and the only symptoms ive been getting is lower back pains, some tender boobs on and off and tiredness oh and what feels like AF pains. Being in limbo is so hard! I wanna test today but DH wants me to test tmw :(

Hows everyone else doing? Sending you all baby dust... Flowers

Donnakim · 30/08/2014 08:55

I had a BFN on my IC this morning and had a bit of a freak out about the whole thing to DH, poor sod. I am now 32yrs old and went on to the pill at 18, then depo jabs and then the implant which was removed in June this year. My big worry is that I have ruined my plumbing with all of these chemicals. I've been smug for years that I didn't get AF while on the contraceptives, and now all I want is for it to arrive so I can move on and try again. Someone pass me the tissues please....

Beaverfeaver2 · 29/08/2014 20:14

It's no fun at all.

I'm googling long cycles all the time and am coming up with 10's of threads of people in the same boat over the past few years but no answers to what happened next.

Did it come?
Were they pregnant?
Were there underlying problems?

I just want to know!

CherryPie3 · 29/08/2014 19:53

Oh beaver it ain't much fun at all is it :( Just wanna know one way or the other. I sorta wish af would show up just so I knew where I was, this cycle is definitely testing me... It's my wtf cycle. Hmm

Donna sounds like your DH is just getting impatient :) He sounds so excited by it all, fingers crossed for morning for you :)

Donnakim · 29/08/2014 19:36

Evening ladies, CD38 with all the symptoms in the book apart from a mutherfudging BFP. DH is making me chuckle though, one day he is convinced I'm pregnant and keeps rubbing my belly and making plans for picking kiddy up from school one day, next he says it's all in my head! Can the men get mood swings? Have a HPT to use in the morning, so keep everything crossed.

Beaverfeaver2 · 29/08/2014 19:23

Cd60 now.
Took my 2nd HPT just now and bfn again.

Don't know what's going on!

I'm so fed up

CherryPie3 · 29/08/2014 12:52

1dpo. Already symptom spotting.
just shoot me

CherryPie3 · 29/08/2014 08:44

Not a lot happening here either, cd38 now... Trying to give myself a talking to really as I'm getting carried away. Ttc was dh's tentative idea and if I get obsessed like last time it will put him right off!!
He goes hot and cold about wanting another baby - we have 3 children - so I'm trying to tread carefully. I'm sorry if I post a lot, you ladies are literally the only people I can talk to. I can't talk to my family as I would just get lectured ("why do you want a fourth??"). :(

Feeling very weepy and emotional today, ewcm has disappeared into sticky bitty white stuff. I guess this is my 2ww then? I thought ewcm would be around for longer but hey.

Hope you all have a good day ladies xx Flowers xx

MaGratgarlik1983 · 28/08/2014 21:32

Still nothing over here either!!

Beaverfeaver2 · 28/08/2014 21:08

Cd 59 for me and no sign of anything happening still.

DH is getting emotional so maybe he's the pregnant one!
