What are the chances

Have been ttc now for 17 months - cycle is more or less 26 days, and I assumed that I should be bding on day 12 but do you think it would be possible to get pg by doing the deed on day 10 and furthermore for me to be experiencing feelings of morning sickness as early as day 18? For the last three mornings I have woke up with terrible headaches and today I have been feeling really grotty all day with terrible waves of naseau and no appetite (which is really not like me).

Hi Alibobster

Im sorry pet - life is so cruel at times.

I have learned to take one day at a time. It is very annoying to witness women who sail through their pregnancies, even planning what month they want to get pregnant so it suits a particular time in their lives?

...and then there is us who have to wait, wait and wait for the BFP's, maybe have to take fertility drugs, each day hoping and praying that they have their chance to become a mother.

I can understand your anger. You will go through a whole range of emotions - but remember it is only natural to feel this and don't be too hard on yourself.

best wishes x

Not so good today Amelied - thought I was ok but not so sure now. Was just thinking what a difference a week makes - last week I was so happy and now I feel like shit and really angry - still having symptoms too which is so cruel. So kind of you to check on me - hope you're doing okay too xxx

Thanks Littlebellsmum, your post made me smile It would be a miracle if it was good news next week. They said I measure at 5 weeks but I didn't get a BFP till I was five weeks, but don't know if that counts for anything. The sac and yolk sac have grown since last week and I'm still experiencing symptoms!! Today has just been like a bad dream and just want to get back to nomal now x

Hi Aliobster
Really sorry to hear your news - as an optomist, I think you'll get better news next week. It's certainly worth going back.
Take care of yourself - eat lots of chocolate

Thank you eveyone for your kind words. I'm not to bothered about going back next Monday because as far as I'm concerned the pregnancy is over and I can't feel any worse than this.Floatylight I would love to belive this to be true for me but did not bd 10 days before - did do 6 days before but that would have been soon to show on a test x

Meant to add, I know you say your cycle is usually 26 days, but mine was usually 28 days bang on, and the cycle I got BFP on I quite obviously ov'd late on.

Floatylight · 23/03/2009 12:37

Hi Alibobster. Is it not possible that if you only got BFP on 28th Feb that you might only have been 10 or 11 dpo at that date? (ie you could have conceived 17th or 18th Feb?) Especially as you got repeated BFNs right up until the 28th, it seems as though you got a BFP at the first possible day a test would show it ie 10dpo approx.

If that was the case then you would now be 4 weeks 5 days approx?

My AF was v late and I got my BFP on CD 36, like you I did tests every day. I must have ov'd very late that cycle. My scan dating also confirmed I must have been around 10dpo when I got my BFP and I now have a healthy six week old boy

Hang on in there!!! xx

amelied · 23/03/2009 12:20

Alibobster

Pet, I am so sorry - this has happened to me on my second and third miscarriage. I was dated way behind what I knew I was (I kept a record of all my AF dates).

They have been honest with you. And I will be honest with you the heartbreak hurts like hell, I have been there. But you will get past this, you find a new "normal" and will never forget.

Im here for you.
Take care
