Hi ladies, I'm due to test on the 25th October and would love company on the last 7 days to testing. It would also be lovely if we could all support each other and check/contrast symptoms during the latter 2ww stretch.

I reckon this might actually be my month this time as I have heard once you actively take control of your situation and make an appointment to do something about it, sods law is you don't need the help...Well here's hoping as my appointment is on Wednesday with ARGC to hopefully start IUI. While we may actually have to pay for the initial consultation, as I doubt I will get a positive this early in my cycle, here's hoping we won't need the help.

To date I have had a massive temp dip and rise on cd9/10. It feels as if my period is about to start and have had a bout of gas . Other than this am really hopefull as we managed to bd loads on the run up to ov .

thank you so uch girls for thining of me! its been a day from hell and i still have no idea - NEED HELP!! im writing this through tears neaqr enough;

this morning got bfn with tesco cheapie fmu, was sure felt af terrible cramps down below, irritable and teary -got to owr went to do a knicker chec and there was a brownish red stain in them, not had anything like it before and thought it was af starting, wiped it was mucussy (is that a word?? so put a towel into till af got going. was sure i could feel it all morning so cried to dh on phone, cried at my desk and was literally heartbroken. then got a call from my friend who has same cycle as me and also ttc this month, she was sure af coming but nothing and always has it first thing. we chatted and she went to get a test at 11ish VERY soon later she called me to say she had a bfp! i was so so happy for her she was so shocked and so happy bit deep down i was falling apat - tears came i was gutted i just couldnt and still dont understand why i havent got a bfp - we did exactly yhe same, in fact i bd a lot lot more!! anyway went to change pad and there was nothing!! not a drop or a splurge!! awful cramps but no af, what i thought was af was just lots of cm! TMI WARNING - there is loads of it!! so at luch i went to get a cb test - not digital and peed away - hadnt had that much to drink and got another bfp?? ws so mad at myself cos was sure deep down that af was coming but haning on to a hope that stain this morning was actually implantation bleeding. carried on to this afternoon and on another trip to loo to find no af i managed to go to loo, constipation for 2 days now and i managed to let a bit of it go - PAIN has gone>!>!>! ??? dont feel like af coming any more, something very wrong with boobs and have a banging headache and feel sick. WHAT IS GOING ON?????? still no af?? i do think headache and sickness may be all emotions im feeling but i have cont to cry over anything all day, im never this emotional! i no i am haning on to a huge hope here but do i stand a chance this month??

im sorry this is all about me! i hope you are all, sorry to hear about your bfn izzy = fingers crossed when you test again.

ladylush · 24/10/2008 14:36

Issy - sorry about your negative. Not over yet though, so fingers crossed

ladylush · 24/10/2008 14:34

Thanks Issy - it was negative Will test again Sunday if no spotting over next couple of days. Nipples still tingling constantly and had dizzy spell today.

How did you get on Wishing?

ILickYourSlimySleeves · 24/10/2008 10:37

Just looking for an update from Wishing too.....? How's it going??? Hope you have good news!

Pezzina · 24/10/2008 07:05

Morning all. Sorry to hear AF arrived for you Sleeves. Looks like we'll have to start a new thread! Wishing - any news?

Issy42 · 24/10/2008 00:41

Wishing - that sounds like what I had back in March (sorry was wrong of me to say creamy - I forget that creamy/sticky etc have different meanings). TMI warning - also it was an odd colour - very slight yellow/green tinge. I remember because I was a bit worried I'd somehow got an STD - given that I'm having DI due to being wrong side of 35 and lack of DP I was very confused. I'd only had one attempt so I was dismissing thoughts of it being pg related. big hugs and good luck with the test tomorrow.

Interesting about the EWCM - I get watery CM just before AF and had wondered why, but that makes sense.

Wishing · 23/10/2008 23:54

it isnt like ewcm though its like somthing ive never had before?? its not stretchy at all its very thick and condensed - sorry tmi i know!

x

thaliablogs · 23/10/2008 23:36

Umm, that point about the EWCM near your period isn't right. EWCM before ovulation is due to a rise in estrogen, EWCm before ovulation is less clear but probably due to corpus luteum breaking down, and hence a drop in progesterone.

Wishing you luck tomorrow morning wishing!

Wishing · 23/10/2008 23:13

thans izzy!! dont worry i wont get too excited ive read postives and negatives! been googling like mad!! - right now i feel its never going to happen !! but i must stay positive and it aint over till its over eh sleeves!!

i think im guna test in morning again lady lush, my boobs have startefd to really hurt at work and constipation is in nfull swing - i am really regular a few times a day so not to go at all is not normal for me! plus over last few days i have realised im becoming totally dizzy!! - but maybe thats just due to constantly having all this on my mind!!

hope everyone else ok - sleeves, are you planning ahead for next month?? hope af isnt cauwsing you too much - sending you big hugs!! xxxxxxx

Issy42 · 23/10/2008 19:36

Wishing - don't want to get your hopes up but I was pg (briefly) in March and had lots of creamy CM in days before and week after AF due and get same just after I have the hcg injection. I read it's supposed to be the body creating a barrier to block the entrance to womb. Fertility friend says you can't tell the difference though. Good luck.

Sorry slimy and pezzina - baby dust your way for next month.

Good luck with your test ladylush. I'm rubbish at waiting too - did another this morning and still BFN, so shall wait until AF due on Sat now. Temp should drop tomorrow so will know anyway. Still feeling sick tho.

ladylush · 23/10/2008 18:28

Sorry slimy - maybe do what Pezzina did and console yourself with a small glass of vino.
Wishing - you still doing an hpt tomorrow? I bought some today and am going to test tomorrow morning. I'm rubbish at waiting

Wishing · 23/10/2008 18:14

oh sorry to hear that sleeves - but at same time i envy you - you now whats going on a bit now! and move on - just bought a cheapie supermaret own test was guna do it now but didnt seem much point now im home - i should be able to hang on till for fmu at least!! im shooting off to my 2nd job now so i should be kept busy at least!!

You havet made me any wore sleeves dont worry - i found the opposite on google but if you got some 2 maybe af is on the way!!

either way i can then move on, i told myself i wasnt going to get like this this month but loos like i have failed in that as well!

when af arrives we should start a new thread!!xxxxxxxxx

ILickYourSlimySleeves · 23/10/2008 17:37

Still keep hanging in there Wishing! I hope I haven't made you more worried now. Well I'm definately out now, AF arrived straight after my last post At least now I can focus on the next month but I'm thinking in all likelihood we will need to use our frozen embies to get lucky again. Oh well we will have fun trying in the meantime!

Are you thinking about doing another HPT?

Wishing · 23/10/2008 17:18

oh great! i was hoping it was more likely to be that it wasnt coming! i dont normally have that!! have also started with constipation today which is not comfortable - why do i have all these symptoms, i seriously cannot be imagining them all! i am crying over this one minute then getting excited the next!!

ILickYourSlimySleeves · 23/10/2008 14:50

Hiya Wishing, not sure what's going on down there but I noticed I had some EWCM stuff again yesterday (just a little) and I googled and found that it's indicative of AF as it's a rise of estrogen due to the corpus luteum breaking down (I think!). So that's why I think AF is still coming for me but I'm not sure what sticky CM means? That sounds better than EWCM tho!

Hope it's a good sign anyway. Still no AF for me, I don't get it, it's now bloody CD 36!

Wishing · 23/10/2008 14:32

quick message ladies - hi to all btw!

i have just been to loo, no af but lots of sticky white cervical mucus - sorry for tmi but what the hell is going on??

ILickYourSlimySleeves · 23/10/2008 11:32

Still no Af for me Wishing, how frustrating is it when you get a BFN but AF decides to muck you about a hide for a bit longer

I just want to get onto next month too.

Pezzina · 23/10/2008 11:27

Morning all,

Sorry I didn't post again last night - was a busy evening and I consoled myself with a small glass of wine. Thank you for all your good wishes. Feeling better about it today, still disappointed but at least the terrible waiting is over - for another month at least.

Good luck to all still going to test at the weekend! I shall stay tuned to hear the good news Lots of love and baby dust to all

Wishing · 23/10/2008 08:57

goodluck to everyone with those syptoms just starting - lush and aideesmum and izzy!

i figured out to day i should by14dpo - didnt test again today but no sign of af and cramping has considerably subsided - still not holding out too much hope but still have this niggling feeling too! if af coming i want her here so i can get on with next month!!

any sign for you yet slimy??

i consoled my self with a dvd and biscuits last nite too!!

fingers crossed for everyone and hope you well waiting if your around

xxxx

aideesmum · 23/10/2008 08:28

Congrats Waiting x

Been feeling sick on and off this week but I do think I'm reading more into it.
My boobs are now much fuller and sore so am hoping that I am but have this niggly feeling that AF is about to start. Will wait and see and if nothing will test early next week (if I can wait that long).

Good luck to you all x

ladylush · 23/10/2008 00:00

Sorry pezzina and slimysleeves Wishing, hoping there is still hope. When I was in the bath tonight I thought my nipples looked darker......but as I say, am symptom spotting like crazy. I don't think I will be able to wait til Tuesday. I might have to do a fmu test on Friday if no spotting tomorrow. It's our first month ttc. We were trying since last Aug but gave up when I found out I had an underactive thyroid (now being treated). Then started trying again but stopped due to relationship problems - we're ok again now. I've had 3 m/c since having ds.

Issy42 · 22/10/2008 23:46

Congratulations Waiting . Sorry to hear that so many of you are out. My AF also due on 25th, but had hcg so can't trust a test for another week, which I find distressing as mc at 4.5 weeks in March (my first DI attempt). Consequently, usually test early when have hcg so can see if left system. Previously test on day 8/9 after hcg is positive then negative on day 10/11. This time was positive on day 9,10,11 and 12 so started to hope but negative today on test which is 87% for day -3. This my 6th attempt (but first on clomid) so clinic starting to hint time to give up .

Fingers crossed for everyone. Really impressed at your ability not to test - I have no self control.

Symptoms so far are feeling sick and dizzy since Sunday (aggravated by paint fumes in office on Mon) but easing as week goes on and lots of bugs at work so prob just that.

ILickYourSlimySleeves · 22/10/2008 22:49

Hi sorry for the silence, I have been consoling myself with lots of junk food and watched a DVD with DH there. I am OK really, I did get so caught up in the fantasy but I'm back in reality again. AF still isn't here but there wasn't even a hint of a BFP on the HPT and there definately should be by now even if it's not FMU as I think I ov'd about 16 / 17 days ago now.

Sorry to hear you're out too Pezzina. Maybe we should start a new thread soon for TTC again this month? It's been good to get support

Good luck to all testing soon too.

Keep us posted on how you are doing too Waiting, have you made an appt to see the Dr yet for maternity referral?

Wishing · 22/10/2008 22:21

wow its quiet on here tonight!

Wishing · 22/10/2008 20:54

hey every one! welcome caitni & pezzina - i am so sorry pezzina sending you a big cuddle - its a horrible feeling i know! you got to try ans stay positive but is hard - i have kept trying all day to be positve then found myself crying over near enough nothing and finally admitting to myself thast its cos i got the bfn! dh was a bit miffed too but didnt dwell on it - he is not brilliant in emotional situations - glad i got this thread!!

hey sleeves, im so sorry you got a bfn too - still no af?? im offically due tomorrow, but i dont know what im feeling now!! will you test again you think or just putting it down to your body re adjusting with bf etc?? tmi warning! did your pee look diluted, it may have been more reliable with fmu??

i still think its poss for you to convcieve naturally you know, a lady at work is currently about 13/14 weeks pregnant and she has had it rough, she had had to have help before and was going for it again, she paniced as they took her into another room one day when she had an appointment and they told her she was 7 weeks gone!! complete shock and she is doing really well.

well anything can happen, but doesnt seem to happen in my tummy!!
