Hi All

So we have been ttc for about 5 months now, I am due on in 2 days and I am absolutely exhausted! Some slight stomach cramps which I don't normally get before AF but not much else.

The thing that I am wondering about is the tiredness, I have never felt like this, feel like I've not slept at all but am probably sleeping more than usual! This has been going on for about 4-5 days now!

Took a test today but that was BFN - anyone else had anything similar but still been pregnant? I know I took the test a bit early Confused

I'm lucky as although I'm also the higher earner my work pays 6 months full pay and my DH will share the leave by taking the second six months. I don't think I could cope with being at home for longer than that anyway!

Grumpy it does help being busy - I have to admit though I do have the same worries, also i am the higher wage earner in our house so I do worry about being off for so long and how we will be able to afford it. X

Sorry to hear that rose. Onto a new cycle! CD3 for me today and I'm really busy at work which is taking my mind off things a bit but suddenly worrying about career impact of a baby..

Ok so AF is being slightly odd.. (TMI) it's just like brown sludge. Very very little red blood, like 1 or 2 drops at most. What do you think? X

So AF arrived today! I'm kind of relieved in a weird way, at least now I can get back to trying! How is everyone else doing? Thank you so much for your support over the past week!! D

Thanks koala I think I had a 30 day cycle pre pill so getting there!

Hi grumpy just wanted to chip in and say I came off cerelle last year, my first cycle was 37 days, then 27. So don't despair, you might find your cycle settles very quickly.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 05/03/2017 21:31

On the plus side that means I've had a 35 day cycle then a 33 day one so not too bad given some of the horror stories I've heard of people coming off Cerelle

TheGrumpySquirrel · 05/03/2017 21:29

Yes it's full on AF now so I'm drinking wine and eating all the carbs!!

Fx for you tomorrow rose

Hey guys! Sorry have been absent this weekend have just tried to forget for a few days.

So still no AF so I'm going to test in the AM BFN yesterday but I have now officially missed my period and no relief of other symptoms. Now occasionally getting sharp pains on the right lower side of my stomach Sad

Grumpy I'm so sorry to hear that! Has AF officially come now?

Country how are you getting on? X

Brown spotting this morning so I think AF is here Sad

countryred · 04/03/2017 16:31

Oh rubbish! That sucks. Still no af here but not going to test today going to leave it a bit. Zero symptoms last couple of days so trying to focus on something else instead. Busy week at work next week so hoping that will take my mind off it. How are you getting on rose?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 04/03/2017 07:23

I think it's a BFN or squinter is too faint to see this morning. Very annoyed but will just wait a few more days now before I test again. I do feel pregnant and there's no AF.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/03/2017 20:42

My DH sister is here so I'm gonna wait for FMU.. too afraid of a dilute wee!

Hotpinkangel19 · 03/03/2017 20:38

Any news grumpy? X

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/03/2017 19:41

My local pharmacy had no FRER so currently waiting on an Amazon delivery. Should be here by 9pm but I'm wondering if I should wait for FMU? I have been doing ICs all day but too faint to tell if there is even a squinter or nothing, getting fed up as I didn't imagine the pink on the FRER!

countryred · 03/03/2017 19:36

Feeling your pain rose. Have you tested with the FRER yet grumpy?

Saz I don't know if it would show positive but it's worth a go. Equally if you are not sure when AF is due it could be too early to tell so maybe do one, if neg, leave it a week or so, I af still doesn't come take another!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 03/03/2017 08:07

I wouldn't give up hope just yet rose

My tests went from paper white yesterday morning to pink squinter last night!

No I haven't took a test yet as I have none at home. I'm gonna buy some in today: would it come up positive if I took one??. The test in the picture was Saturday just gone I took one on Sunday and Monday and there was just a line that u could just barely see. Xx
