1 WEEK TO GO!!

That's tough RAY. I can only imagine what you're going through as I was extremely lucky to get my (at the moment) bfp in only my 2nd month of trying. I did have a mmc at 10 weeks in July, so thinking the 'fertile after miscarriage' thing may hold some weight!
fwiw I had a good friend who went through IUI and was successful on 3rd try. She said her consultant said for some reason 3rd attempts tended to have the most success.

We have been TTC for 4 and half years. Had IUI in May but had to pay and as failed counldnt afford to do another, trying to save to perhaps do IVF.

How long were you trying?

Ray How long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking?

Oh no... That's hard . Just keep positive - your time will come.

FFS (for F**ks Sake) excuse the swearing, just saw a girl at work who has been trying and she is 10 weeks. i am a pG magnet and want to cry now.
WHY NOT ME. !!!!

Hey QUESTIONS I think that faint line means a congratulations is in order . There must have been some hcg in your wee to produce a faint line surely?
Re: period pains before af, mine started on Monday, a week before af due which is earlier than usual for me. That's what triggered my testing!
I have a good feeling that we're going to get a good few bfps in this thread

Ahhh...Ray, that's how I feel - there's nothing you can do but wait, what will be will be - that's the killer!

Clairey - I am the same as you - 29 day cycle and have had AF pains since Monday - which I never normally have... No other symptoms at all though really - my boobs aren't sore and I don't feel sick, just tired and more hungry??

Did a test last night - why I don't know, just did!

Who knows huh?!

yeah you're right, gonna have to just wait and see. havent got any tests at home so wont be tempted. am off on holiday next sat so would be fab if preg as no AF on hols!!!!

so, bedding in, these AF pains, any idea how long they last on average??

Claire, have heard lots of people who get Af pains and are still PG thats why its not always easy to tell if you are or not. Beddingin pains can also feel like AF pains from what have been told also so there is hope for you.
The thing is you never can tell until Af and have BFP unfortuantley.

I keep trying to tell myself that if its meant to be then it will be and theres nothing i can do to stop Af coming if its going to come. But that pixie in my head keeps telling me that i could be and why not after all did it when OV. Christ think im goign to be def PSYHCO when af finaly gets here.
he he

no didnt do OPKS, but AF normally on time, last 2 cycles 29 days. really feels like AF pains, anyone ever heard of AF pains and still preggers before??!!

Me too Clairey80 i keep getting very mild period pains and my boobies are tender with sore nipples. Like you AF due next Friday but tested this morning and of course got a BFN, i knew i would just couldnt resist AGAIN!

Good luck Questions, im sure your have a darker line next time!

Never stops honey, but thats great if have faint line then def PG congrats. When were you due, it may just be very early wait a few days and do another it will just put your mind at rest.

This is def turning into lucky thread i hope its my turn too.

Claire, if you dont normally get AF pains this early may have OV early did you do OPKS?

hey ray and diege, i was a bit surprised as i don't really get blue veins, and this ones really pumping!

so i tested this morning, and i got a reeeeeeeeeally faint line, i almost threw the test away before i'd spotted it. i'm kind of worried now, what if it goes away??? oh this worrying doesn't stop does it!

i've been having dull AF pains for last 2/3 days, not due on AF til 17th so its really early for me to be having AF pains, normally get them 3 days or so before. what do u think is going on?? am i gonna get AF early?? last 2 cycles (thats when i really started tracking them) have been 29 days, really does feel like AF pains..............bit confused!!

QUESTIONS, I'd say blue vein is good sign! Extra blood flow etc..
RAY,STANVICK I had the same pains you describe this month - dull aches and sharp pains that come and go..

Also, re implantataion, most women don't get an implantation bleed (20% do I think from memory) - I haven't in other pregnancies.
Best of luck for those testing this weekend - have everything crossed

Hi guys we should call this the PSYCHO site he he he.

Stanvick welcome, i am now on CD29 of i think a 33 day cycle and have the dull ache too and is a bit early for me to have Af pains and i also have the full feeling how strange. The pains sort of come and go and get few shapr ones inbetween which isnt like me at all.

Ques, have you tested? what did you get? i have blue veins in boobs every month but if you dont then must be a good sign i would say i realy hope this is your month.

Moogatron, No signs are good. with my DD i had no signs at all didnt even know i was due on. thats why whenever i get symptoms now am convinced hasnt worked but its with DH this time and DD isnt his and i was younger so alittle bit of brain is saying could be different and i could be although almost know that i am not. Keep thinking it hasnt worked for 4 half years why would it work now.
Baby Dust to all.

Anything to report questions??? good luck!

No sign of af yet but just have a feeling it is not far away so have refrained from testing. may go to chemist today to buy some thou.

ladies, i have blue veins on my right boob, and its aching tonight...a sign??? i dont want to get my hopes up, but blue veins?

thats it, im testing tomorrow morning

Hi I'm new to this site. I am on day 26 of a 30 day cycle and have had dull ache for about 3 days. Seems a bit early for period pains but don't want to get my hopes up. I also have a very full feeling - like a full bladder - has anyone had this before? This is our 4 month of ttc#1. I'm the same, checking out for implantation spotting but nothing as of yet.
Good luck to all of you x

I have no pg symptoms and no AF/PMT symptoms apart from one solitary spot on my temple. Slightly varying cycle, so am due this w/e or early next week. Totally convinced that this month will be a no show and resigned to that fact- although there is a very very small pixie sprite in the back of my head that is hoping very much that I am pg( just like the one you get right before you find out you have no numbers on the Lotto, knew you wouldn't win but it is secretly deciding what you'd do with all the cash).

Thanks for the good luck Tinker Good luck to you too.

I have pains in the tops of my legs its sharp pains!! has anyone had anything like this before when TTC i must say its not something ive had in the 4 and half years very strange.
Its funny i hate Tests but i have this massive urge do do one. MUST NOT DO TEST TIL THURS he he.

Hello.... I am due on the 17th... Feels like a lifetime away... My boobs feel firmer (sort of bouncer?)but not sore and I had loads of abdominal pain (first on the right side, then centrally last night). I don't feel sick but I am more tired and hungery more often than usual... That's about it... Wishful thinking I think?! My cycle is 29 days without fail and I o'd on the 15th/16th.. BD'd all of last week... So fingers crossed.....

Finger's crossed for the rest of you too..

Hi Puss, thanks for the support think i'm going to need it for the next few days. You are right if Af is going to arrive theres Nil i can do about it. Just wish it would happen already have waited so long for it. I think am kinda hoping Clomid will work first time for me but my life just isnt like that.
When is Af due for you?

Claire i couldnt imagine having to wait that long its a nitemare isnt it. If i have another baby hope its a boy so he doesnt have to go through this he he.

Ray, I really do sympathise....especially its your first month with clomid...I'm keeping everything crossed for you. I was two days late last month and the knicker checking and symptom spotting was a total PITA...its like you turn into another obsessed person....logically, if AF is on her way, there is nothing we can do about it, but we still get oursevles in a tizz!!

I had EWCM late on the evening of CD15...BD that night and the next day had my usual ovulation colour but we were only able to BD once...with regards to the LP - I seem to ovulate on CD15/16 and ovulate CD30 so....not unusually long or short...
