Had my copper coil removed at the start of my last period in Feb. We started trying as soon as period ended. I used OPK from day 10, but only got a 7pack so never detected a surge. We dtd every other day so who knows. My period is due roughly on Tuesday. My plan is to test on Wednesday if AF hasn't arrived. This past week I've had funny symptoms, Wed, Thu & Fri I had cramps on my left side below hip, lots of backache, headaches and some dizziness. I've also been extremely tired and have a lack of appetite. I'm trying not to read too much into it and can find alternative reasons for most of these symptoms but..... CAN'T STOP HOPING!
Where is the fast forward button so I can skip ahead to Wednesday?!

Test was negative, but still no AF. I'll test again if AF hasn't arrived by Saturday. I was so sure I was, maybe I ovulated late Confused

If you haven't started for so many weeks and get negative still each time ur hgc levels may be low so a blood test if followed out my friend had this done and she was 6wks in the end, it varies, your doctor shouldn't of laughed at you :0 @speakfriendandenter

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 22:33

Your doctor will test for you? Mine never would. The first time I was pregnant I went to the doctor, expecting him to do a test to confirm (like I had seen on TV/in films) and he laughed, said I had done a test, got a positive and his tests were no better than mine. I was actually a bit miffed as I wanted him to confirm that I wasn't imagining it Grin

I can't remember it taking this long for a positive for my others lol. But then again I was a crazy lady the last 3 times testing all the time.

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 22:04

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 21:56

Yeah try it straight onto stick as that was only time i got positive for some strange reason xx even if it's negative dont worry because it can show up later! X

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 21:24

@Yaz879 that's what I have been doing I've been dipping it in a cup xx

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 21:23

@Yaz879 think I'm going to on Monday if AF hasn't arrived xx

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 21:20

U can always go docs and get a blood test and that will tell u if u are xx @sazwet

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 21:17

@sazwest at home, sounds wierd but when I did it from a cup and dipped it in i got negative? Soon as i did it straight onto the stick i got a positive, strange xx

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 20:14

So it's just vitamins? I take seven seas fertility tablets, folic acid and vitamins. As far as I know they don't improve your fertility but they mean that embryo gets developmental support straight away.
I'm waiting till day after AF is due so I don't get too obsessed. When TTC#2 I tested loads and got very stressed. I want to stay calm(er) this time Smile

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 19:26

Aww right. And did u do your own hpt or did u go to the docs x x

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 19:22

@Sazwest because my hgc levels werent high enough for the test to detect, further along the higher they get which is what you want x x

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 19:22

@Yaz879 thanks Hun I will go get some ready then if AF arrives I will have ready started taking them ready for next cycle xx

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 19:20

It is a tablet you just swallow with your main meal one a day on a full stomach with a cold drink. X x

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 19:17

Looked at box which just found its called Pregnacare before conception it is in boots superdrug etc n most supermarkets I caught after a month of using. Comes with 30 tablets x also available for men

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 19:16

How do u use it if you don't mind me asking xx

Sazwest · 18/03/2017 19:13

@Yaz879 I've been taking the frer since I was about 9dpo and all bfn. I was due AF yesterday and I'm never late: gonna wait till Monday -Tuesday to test again. How come it took 2 weeks after AF was due to get a positive for u xx

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 19:09

Pregncare fertility contribution, your partner can also take it. There's a men and women's one, go into boots or superdrug, even tesco etc I caught quick using these and i was the only one using, so might of been even sooner if my partner used them too. Xx

Good luck Happy & Saz. Saz I read your other posts and it sounds like you are definitely having a confusing time of it! Aren't our bodies annoying?!
Yaz what is that? The only pregnacare I know of is prenatal vitamins etc.

Yaz879 · 18/03/2017 19:07

Get a clear blue 6 days early test, that should help and give u a quicker result. But just because it doesn't show straight away doesnt mean you aren't, mine took 2 weeks till I got a positive
