2nd cycle ttc dc2, AF due next thurs

so far i have not done any testing (unlike last month when i wasted so many test strips!)

let us get through the next week together

also i have very little symptoms compared to last month. my boobs are not overly sore, and cramps are much less

test strips from lookersgirl (ebay) which I have been peeing on for months and never got so much as a glimmer.

It is fainter than the control line, but not faint.

Pic on profile but is a bit blurred.

Heron, i'm crossing everything! Cramps are symptoms of AF and pregnancy. Sorry you feel so frustrated

i am getting cramps right now, i think AF is definitely coming. i feel like screaming and crying right now (but can't cos DS is here). i have to be strong. dont want to put in a tampon. AF is not flowing out yet, so maybe there is still hope

if AF definitely comes, will start clomid on cd2.

am only 12dpo and getting a edd of 2nd Jan for that.

But I am a bit wary since I know chemical pg's can happen at this stage.

but I do feel terrible

ChocolateEclair · 23/04/2008 16:45

Yey! Well done teuch! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!I'm really happy for you!!!! Are you due at Christmas then? Xmas day???

What CD was today then? and when did you ov?

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 16:43

sorry Cathers - can't you get a gynae referral after 6 months?

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 16:42

I didn't manage to hold out but I did get a nice pink line for my efforts...

ChocolateEclair · 23/04/2008 16:41

cathers sorry to hear AF has got you the witch . As you say, at least you didn't test and have the double disappointment of BFN and AF. Good luck for next month.

Well, very odd developments here! AF sort of arrived on Monday night as I posted, which was 2 days early. Then it disappeared! It still has not arrived! Now thinking it might have been an implantation bleed (hopeful emoticon!)

Hope everyone is holding out...best of luck everyone!

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 15:48

ohjoy - pop over to the wagon if you can?

ohjoy · 23/04/2008 15:18

sorry to hear that cathers...

cathers · 23/04/2008 14:43

AF here AGAIN.
At least didn't get round to testing - month 9 now of ttc no 2 and starting to get slightly narked by it all now.

Anyway -good luck to those remaining, surely one of us wil get BFP this time? See you all next month!

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 14:03

too late

ohjoy · 23/04/2008 12:59

hi teuch, tell you what, how about you give the HPTs to someone for safe keeping?

YouCantTeuchThis · 23/04/2008 12:27

right...who's going to make sure I don't poas the minute they (possibly) drop through my door this afternoon??

ohjoy · 23/04/2008 09:08

hi cathers, good luck to you tomorrow!

my AF is due tomorrow morning or late tonight. i will try hold off testing until sat morning! not sure if i can tho!!!!

good sign - boobs still sore today. usually not sore anymore if AF was coming

mehdismummy · 23/04/2008 07:15

hi everyone. I am not ttc because h does not want another although i would. Just wanted to wish you all luck and give you hope. I was diagnosed with pid and did not catch it in time so my right fallopian tube was covered in adhesions. Also have pcos. Had laser treatment in early 97 but they did return. Lost all hope tbh. Then in april 2005 i missed a period and just put it down to stress. So by the time may came i thought i might do a test(even though i knew it was a million to one chance as what with problems and h using withdrawal method) i cant begin to tell you the shock i had when i had a bfp! Ds born in 06 and is the best thing ever in my life. So keep trying ladies there is hope. As soon as i stopped stressing i fell pg! And i smoked drunk etc. So good luck everyone

cathers · 23/04/2008 06:50

Sorry to hear about news little.
How's everyone else doing?

AF was due yesterday - no show so going to test tomorrow morning ( got up and did pee v .early as suggested to scupper testing today! )Good luck everyone

beckmo · 22/04/2008 20:41

Sorry to hear that Littlemissdaisy. I broke my promise to myself and just did a cheapo ebay test and BFN.Which I knew it would be...not due til Thurs or even possibly Sat. Also no symptons whatsoever. Must wait until period arrives or is late...but I have about 15 various tests so that probably won't happen!

ohjoy · 22/04/2008 11:56

hi little, i am so sorry to hear that

i agree with teuch, it might be your progesterone level. there are progesterone creams to use, i think. are you going through a gynae?

i hope you feel better soon.

YouCantTeuchThis · 22/04/2008 09:27

sorry to hear that - so is it a chemical pg? I am not really up to speed with that but I think that progesterone can help with making sure the womb-lining is well developed and ready to receive blastocyst for successful implantation.

Take care of yourself and I hope you get some answers.

littlemissdaisy · 22/04/2008 09:09

Hi, Well my wonderful news was not long lived, the spotting I had turned into full blown heavy bleeding overnight this is the third time this has happened to me, I am waiting for the fertility unit to ring me, there must be something that can be done, my problem obviously isn't getting preganant, its staying pregnant. I am now going to start my third round of clomid and go from there. Good luck to all you guys who are still waiting.
