I've just been reading a pregnancy thread and its hit me so hard, I so want to be pregnant

We havent been trying long, only 2 or 3 months but it seems so long when you want something so bad.

When AF arrives even though its only a month till the round of pregnancy testing starts it feels like years.

And this months just gone off the rails for me, when I was supposed to be Oving my AF started instead, Its stopped about 4 days ago but now I have AF cramps again !!

Im just fed up (PS theres no way Im pregnant, someone suggested I might be - but its only 16 days since last AF and haven't done the deed since!)

Argggghhhh!! Im so frustrated!

Hiya Zoepoey

Sorry to hear you are having such a bad time. 4 years is such a long time.

Its really good that you are on clomid though now, and try and stay positive (easier said than done I know!)

Premenstrual type cramps can be a sign of pregnancy you know.

If you need to talk we are here.

I have everything crossed for you.

pinkgirl did you test?!

Fingers crossed for you too. Wierd about getting negative OPKs- but they are not infallible- no? As I said I have never used them before yesterday as I thought it would make me more obsessed (as if!) and because we have sex every other day anyway. Also DH is away a fair amount, so I didn't want to stress myself out even more.

You should have hope! It happens to people everyday - whos to say today isnt the day it will happen to you?!

Its a brilliant sign getting a + OPK!

I was thinking I might be OVing but I have completly negative OPKs, today was the same.

Im just waiting for AF to coem now to start the next cycle!

Fingers crossed for you

Hi Disenchanted- hope you are feeling better today. Just a thought about your sore boobs and cramps... since my miscarriage I get really sore boobs from middle of cycle until AF starts. Never, ever had this before, but I understand it is hormone sensitive tissue reacting to changes in hormones. I have taken it that they must get sore right around OV time. Could this be possible? Could cramping be OV too?

As for me- feel better today. Did an OPK this morning and am sure the lines were the same... DH has just left for work and will be gone until Monday, but I hope the past couple day of DH might give us a shot... but after 16 months don't know why I still have hope!!!

Just been to the shops and seen the tiniest little baby ever!!

He was gorgeous! I asked 'how old' and he was 7 weeks! He looked about a week old!

And a lady who was fit to burst in the sandwich shop - she must have been having twins!

Morning girls.

How are you this morning?

lulu1414 · 21/02/2008 23:14

Thanks, IOM08- I did wonder if it were possible to OV right after period. I have an appointment to go back to GP, but not until mid-March (she is only part-time). Just told DH about his brother's news. He is pretty upset too. Sometimes I forget that he is going through it all too!

Good to have company on these dark nights.

iom08 · 21/02/2008 23:00

sorry, my last message was directed at lulu , just to add to the confusion !!

iom08 · 21/02/2008 22:58

Your cycles are up the spout. Might not be completely unheard of to ovulate pretty much immediately after period has finished. I've never used the ISIS scope so can't really say much about it. I would go back to the GP and just get him to check your hormone levels.(LH and FSH) since your cycles have become erratic. Couldn't do any harm

fruitloop79 · 21/02/2008 22:55

sorry to say it disenchanted but I think I have a point too!

fruitloop79 · 21/02/2008 22:54

I did actually get a +ve OPK on CD36 but it's now CD60 and only just started spotting yesterday so I reckon that +ve was a wind up courtesy of the lovely PCOS! It was the only +ve OPK I've ever got, it was soooo exciting!

Do you reckon we know too much? Maybe we're psychologically bringing these symptoms on ourselves??? Or maybe we just dont notice them when not TTC?

You may have a point there!

lulu1414 · 21/02/2008 22:52

IOM8- thanks, just feeling low. I have seen GP and specialist. Was put on clomid for 6 months and then recently had lap and dye. They found nothing wrong other than mild PCO. It just seems so wierd that everything is supposedly OK. To top it all off since the surgery I'm having bizarre cycles- 36 days, then 45 and then 21!!!

I tried an OPK for the first time today and can't make sense of it.

I have also just started using the ISIS scope. It showed ferns today and yesterday which would suggest OVing now or soon, but just stopped bleeding today! Any thoughts?

fruitloop79 · 21/02/2008 22:51

My weight's fine so I don't think I'll get metformin. But clomid would be fab! trying not to get my hopes up though cos I reckon they'll send me packing for loads of blood tests 1st

Hi Lulu!

Im so sorry for your loss

It must be so frustrating for you,

Rant away whenever you want, we are all in the same boat, just at different stages of the journey!

OPK's do work for some people with PCOS it depens on your hormone levels. Its expensive but if you want to use tehm, you need to test when you know you aren't ovulating to test that you're not getting a fals positive then test everyday until you OV or aorund then. Most commonaly OPK's give flase negative for PCOS but if you don;t get that then you're fine to use one. Very common to OV on differnt dasy though so you do need to use more kits.

fruitloop79 · 21/02/2008 22:48

hey kewcumber I remember you from the meetup page! I'm hoping for Clomid at my gynae appointment on 5th march!

iom08 · 21/02/2008 22:47

lulu, please don't apologise for your 'rant'. My heart goes out to you for your loss. I know it seems so unfair, but have faith, it will happen to you. Have you spoken to your GP? It might be worthwhile considering you have been ttc for over a year.
