Halfway through my TWW and looking for company. Anyone in the same boat?

finding & hewy, I was squeamish about the internal as well, but I actually found it really liberating when I finally tried. Just get two fingers, lick then a little (ffs my phone seemed to think 'lick' was rude and kept changing it) and then relax as you guide them in. Then just give a little wiggle and come out again. Voila! I do it just after going to the loo (wash my hands obv first). Sorry if tmi!!!

I don't know when I'll test again. I was going to wait until Wednesday, but I don't know... I honestly don't think I'm pregnant, I think my body is being mean to me once again.

When week you have your tests done mayo?

How're you doing diamond?

Mayo do you know what you lp is? do you temp or use ovulation sticks?

Hi mayo. We've all been there with AF crushing us. But things always seem more hopeful in the days after, so hope you feel better soon.
haquoi I also downloaded clue and was clueless about it (excuse the pun!). I couldn't understand it and already have fertility friend and period tracker so I'm all apped up for now!
finding I'm a bit funny about internal check too. Worried I'd poke the wrong thing and have a very embarrassing trip to the doctor to explain what I'd done!

Sorry I meant mayoforsam!

Hi mayoforsam welcome to the thread. Hope you're next cycle is more productive for you.

haquoi im rubbish with internal examinations - bit squeamish (I know that sounds ridiculous). Will you test again in the morning or leave it a couple of days?

hi mayoforsam welcome to the bus! sorry AF has showed her ugly face! how long have you been trying?

PS armaghforsam x

Hi mayo, lovely to have you join :) sorry to hear about your AF, that sucks. How long have you been ttc?

Thanks everyone. I drank loads of water before hand so maybe I just diluted it (or I'm finding excuses). Is so annoying, this feels like the month that i was 10 days late but even then I had symptoms! Trying not to get cross. sleepy, I downloaded clue, but barely understand it! It's also put me at 4 days to go before my period (with all info about previous AFs) which I find odd..
finding, have you checked internally at all? I see barely anything in the outside and then when I check inside there's shed loads!

im also not sure if you need my stats again diamond
Name: birchyboo
Age: 30
TTC: #1
Cycle: 7 (I'm happy to go down as cycle 2 though as it is only last month we have been actively actively trying. Been off contraception since July 2014 though)
BFP: 10th June

ooh exciting to have stats thanks diamond

Sorry you are having a bad day diamond we all have them but when we get our bfp they will even more special!

haoqui sorry you are still in limbo - this happened me once and it was so horrid! I was constantly peeing on a stick and dh was trying to convince me just to leave it and see what happens - much easier said than done!!

Im cd9 today - what I dislike about ttc is that I feel I am wishing my life away! I couldn't wait until af was over to get started again, now I cant wait untl post ovulation to hopefully get a bfp and when I get a bfn (not going to happen this month though!) I cant wait to get af to get started again - just constantly wishing time away which I dont like

Ohh and is most of us doing the SMEP - we could call our bus something to do with that... if some of us aren't we can pick a diff name - PMA - positive mental attitude - I always think its great to have that - it takes you far in life

sorry to hear that haquoi

finding i had heard of them but never even dawned on me it could be one, i was jut disappointed as normal then got my dates confused for AF so really didn;t know where i was.

The 'full' feeling went right up under my rib cage.

this monring i was queasy then it went off, then i stated to panic as i didn;t have tummyu ache, or need a pee, or have back ache or feel quaey... then i had lunch and now i'm queasy again! rolls eyes

Cd 21 diamond. I'm not even tempted to test as I just have a gut feeling it's bfn this cycle. I'm already looking forward to the next cycle.

Thanks finding - I know - it is difficult, I should deal with it better I guess but it's not easy.
It's disappointing you've not seen any ewcm however I have read that's it's not always apparent and it may be in there but doesn't show - if that makes sense?
What cycle day are you on now?

Sorry you're not feeling great Diamond. It's really hard to be around pregnant people.

Sorry about your bfns Haquoi and Remember.

Thanks for the symptom list Sleepy. I felt "full" last week but it was the wrong time in my cycle to be significant. It's interesting about your false negative as I've heard that's fairly common and something to be aware of. I don't want you to get your hopes up Haquoi but I guess you're still not out of false negative territory?

My update is that I've still had no ewcm this cycle which I usually get around ovulation. I'm disappointed about that and also dreading another 6 days of dreadful side effects from next months clomid.

Sorry to hear about bfn haquoi - how frustrating for you.
Sorry for your bfn too remember
It really is the most draining experience.
I'm sat with a pregnant colleague today and I feel about a million miles away from my goal of getting pregnant - definitely having a bad day today!
Will be better tomorrow

Thanks sleepy. I stupidly did another test and bfn (even with looking at it every which way). I just know I'm out but this is getting frustrating again! Grr

sorry haquoi my FW was 19 - 26 April (looked at wrong week on calendar!)

haquoi i tested around 8 May some time (my AF was 9 - 14 and my FW was 30 April - 5 May) as somethng 'felt' different, i got a false negative and put the sharp pinches down to waiting for next AF which was due around then.

When AF didn't turn up and i started feeling fuller/gassier etc i decided (with everyones help on here!) to do another POAS and thats the one that came up BFP, around a week later!

Hi grey, can you dtd now? I'm on cd32 and just got ewcm!! Argh! I wonder if I ovulated later than I thought diamond so will test on Wednesday if AF doesn't turn up. This is so annoying

Thanks diamond,

FF was telling me not to test until next week but I thought I would today seeing as my tww has passed. If I have another 25 day cycle like last month I'll be due a visit from AF in the next day or so but it might be longer again! !

Morning everyone!
Sorry to hear of bfn remember but I think a higher temp is good? Maybe ff got it wrong and you're still a bit early?
Haquoi - are you going to test again? You said you have got doubts as to when af due now? I'm hoping for you!
Will do the stats later, thanks everyone for the updates - hopefully I can do the link!
Sleepy - so pleased for you, exciting! So nice to hear your dh is thrilled too!
Cd 3 here - boring. Just want af to disappear

Morning ladies,

I'm home after my weekend away and it was fab to unwind. Had a great night out with DP and then early to bed!! Having had a few glasses of white wine last night I'm sure that I'm getting headaches when I drink red only as I woke this morning with a pretty clear head!!

I poas this morning (15dpo according to ff) and got a bfn!! Not really very surprised as I had a feeling it would be because of how soon after af that I showed +ve opk.

Discussed SMEP with dp over dinner last night and he's agreed to give it a go in conjunction with me completing ff.

My temp this morning is up again at the highest its been while I've been charting (didn't do it yesterday as id have had to get out of bed for the thermometer) so that's got me thoroughly confused!!

Right, off to work now. Will check in later.

Rememberallball, 43, ttc #1, cycle 9 waiting for AF to know next bfp date.
