HI THERE! IAM NEW TO THIS BOARD, SO I'D LIKE TO SAY HELLO TO ALL OF YOU LADIES! I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO SPREAD LOTS, AND LOTS OF BABY DUST, AROUND FOR US ALL ** IAM 29 YEARS OF AGE. MY HUBBY IS ALMOST 43 AND HAS NO CHILDREN. I HAVE HAD 2 CHILDRN IN MY LIFETIME, WITH MY EX, THE LAST BEING OVER 8 YEARS AGO. MY OLDER SON AGE 9 1/2, HAS JUST RECENTLY PASSED AWAY, AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE A CHILD WITH MY HUSBAND SINCE WAY BEFORE THAT HAPPENED, SO OF COURSE IAM TOTALLY DEVESTATED. IAM NOT LOOKING TO DEPRESS YOU LADIES, SO I'LL GET OFF THAT NOTE, IAM DEPRESSING MYSELF. ANYWAY, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW. I'D LIKE TO HAVE 2 OR MORE KIDS WITH HIM, BUT I KNOW AT THIS POINT, I'LL BE HAPPY WITH WHATEVER THE GOOD LORD GIVES ME!! ANYWAY, I HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE FOR MY CYCLES. THEY WERE 28 DAYS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, AND HAVE NOW BEEN OCCURING EVERY 33 DAYS. WELL, I WAS DUE BY THE 7TH FOR AF, BUT SHE NEVER REARED HER UGLY HEAD. I WOULD SAY THAT'S A TERRIFIC THING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD 2 NEGATIVE PREGNENCY TESTS. THE FIRST ONE SAT FOR AWHILE THEN CAME UP WITH A DISTINCT LINE, BUT I READ THAT THE RESULT AFTER TIME SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED. DISSAPOINTED AND CONFUSED, ABSOLUTELY!! EVER SINCE MY POSITIVE OVULATION TEST ON 9/23, I HAVE HAD PERIOD LIKE CRAMPING, EVEN ALITTLE BIT WORSE, AND I THOUGHT "THE CURSE" WAS COMING EVEN SOONER THEN PREDICTED, HOWEVER, EVEN WITH THESE CRAMPY FEELINGS, NO BLEEDING HAS HAPPENED AT ALL! I KEEP RUNNING TO THE BATHROOM, AND WHEN I FEEL WET, IT'S JUST DISCHARGE. AT THIS POINT, SEEING THAT IN ALL PROBOBLITY IAM NOT PREGNANT, I WISH I WOULD GET AF, SO I CAN TEST FOR THIS NEXT MONTH, HOWEVER, NOT HAVING THE PERIOD IS STARTING TO FRIGHTEN ME. COULD I BE GOING THROUGH PERIMENOPAUSE OR SOMETHING" I CAN'T HELP JUMPING TO THE WORST CASE SENARIO, AND I CAN'T SEE A DOCTOR TILL FRIDAY. IF THIS IS AN EVAPORATION LINE IT IS VERY MISLEADING. IT HASN'T GONE AWAY EIGTHER, HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS? I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS SITUATION OCCUR WITH THE MANY TESTS I HAVE TAKEN IN THE PAST, BUT I STILL CAN'T BE TOO OVER ZEALOUS, CAUSE I KNOW IAM BOUND FOR DISSAPOINTMENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WAS A MUCH FAINTER LINE ON THE SECOND TEST 2 DAYS LATER, THAT DID NOT COME ABOUT TILL AFTER HOURS OF BEING LEFT ALONE TO SIT, NOT MINUTES. THIS IS SO TRYING!! EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ONLY BEEN CHATRING AND STUFF FOR THE PASY YEAR AND 1/2, WE HAVE BEEN "NOT TRYING", AND NOT USING CONTRACEPTION FOR OVER 3 1/2 YEARS. HIS COUNT IS FINE, AND SO FAR THEY CANNOT TELL WHAT WOULD BE WRONG WITH ME, AND THAT IS FRUSTRATING AS WELL. WE BOTH WANT A BABY SO MUCH IT IS KILLING US! EVERY MONTH AF COMES, I JUST WANNA BREAK DOWN AND CRY, AND NOW IAM WORRIED TO WHY AF HASN'T COME IF I HAVEN'T CONCEIVED. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FERTILITY SUPPLIMENT OVULEX FOR THE PAST MONTH AND 3/4. I HAD A NORMAL PERIOD LAST MONTH, NORMAL OVULATION TO, SO I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT. PLUS, I HAVEN'T READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WITH THAT, TO THE CONTRARY IT BRINGS ON AF IN ALOT OF WOMEN WHO DON'T MENSTRATE OR MENTRATE IRREGULARLY. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I KNOW I MUST WAIT, BUT I FEEL LIKE IAM HAVING THE FLU, CRAMPY, SICK TO MY STOMACHE, FEVERISH (MY TEMP IS STILL UP), BUT MY CERVIX IS HARD AND CLOSED TO THE TOUCH. I GET CHILLS AND GO FROM COLD TO HOT, HOT TO COLD. ANYONE EVER BEEN IN THIS SITUATION, OR HAS ALSO BEEN PLAUGED WITH SECONDARY INFERTILITY? ANY ADVICE ANYONE CAN GIVE ME WILL BE SUCH A BLESSING, IAM A TRAINED THERAPIST FOR A LIVING, BUT IT SEEMS I CAN ONLY HELP OTHERS AND NOT MYSELF. CAN THESE TESTS BE WRONG, IAM AFRAID OF A POSSIBLE TUBAL OR SOMETHING AS WELL. UGHH.. THE WAIT IS BRUTAL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
