to think I might be pregnant since DH had a vasectomy (cauterisation) 8 years ago?

[ProdigalMNer]

Sadly I think it is far more likely to be perimenopause... but I think I prefer the alternative. I am 37.

Oh love - I'm so sorry.

Just hormones I guess :(

I think you and DH need to have a serious dicussion about a reversal, it appears that neither of you feel your family is complete yet and saying 'it is' doesn't make that feeling go away x

Every month I keep my fingers crossed, if I'm a day late I convince myself that I am, I tell myself that if I am pregnant then at least he can't blame me as it's his vasectomy that has failed and nothing that I've done. I've had tender boobs, and late periods so many times I've lost count now, but I never give up hope that one day.....

Strange. Could you POAS anyway just to check you weren't? Could you have got your cycle mixed up?

Same for me- odd, early, v light period was in fact implantation bleed and I was pregnant.

Thanks everyone, especially for understanding.

I feel stupid for feeling so but I was feeling so sick this morning that I was debating whether I should just poas... Had to talk myself out of it knowing that I would write a BFN off as being 'just too early' anyway ...

But now this.
I'm pretty sure it's much too much to be implantation and now I'm getting my usual horrendous cramps so it feels like AF has just decided to ruin my weekend (and more ) (had already packed for a non-AF weekend with family but the way mine usually is I'll have to repack with dark clothes sorry tmi.

Sorry, I'm being a real misery guts over something which must seem so trivial and silly to lots of people.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend whether Jubilee-ing or not xx

BTW... Does anyone know, if you POAS and you've started bleeding would it still show? How long would any HCG stay in the bloodstream? I'm sure the HCG concentration would have been too low to show anyway tho even if there had been any?

I'm really not helping the situation here am I?

It's not silly or trivial at all, but I'm sorry I don't know much about hcg levels. Hopefully someone else will assist.

I think HCG drops off pretty quickly.

What was your last period like?

I accidently became pregnant just before Christmas and started my AF, then it stopped abruptly and I started to get positive tests with very sore boobs. The tests then became negative and I started to bleed two weeks later.

Anyone who thinks it's silly or trival can feel free to fuck off to ignore the thread and read one of the other 1001. It is not silly nor trivial. As I said, I think it's something you and DH have to have a really serious discussion about and consider a reversal as you both were quite excited about the prospect...

I don't know anything about HGC levels either - sorry.

I don't think there's much that's TMI around here - and certainly not the mention of a heavy period and needing darker clothes - that's mild Sorry it's come early and ruined both your plans for the weekend (well your packing anyway!) and some of the hope that you were pregnant :( x

Hiddenhome - that all sounds pretty stressful!

yy, what Chipping said.

Have a hug too, Prod.

Sorry I was busy yesterday so didn't mn much, or I would have been here for support, the way you feel is completely understandable and not trivial at all.

How are you feeling this morning? I'd still poas to put your mind at ease. I took a test about a week before I've be due (though I have very irregular periods, somewhere between 35-96 days) and I still got my 8 BFPs, so tests are quite reliable now, even if you're early.

Living up to my name aren't I? Sorry everyone and thank you for all the hugs, gratefully received

It is definitely fully-fledged AF, has ended up being quite normal. Didn't ever POAS as decided it was pointless as any HCG would have dropped off.

HH sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience .

Chipping, I know you're right. DH and I have had a chat but we've decided we'll just keep having fun () in the hope that he is actually fertile again and that this is what this month has actually been all about... Much like IThinkIt'sJustMe said, we'll just hope it has failed but then nobody can accuse of actually being insane (why do I even care??) for TTC another as it will be an "accident" if it happens.

Of course, I know if he is still infertile and it's all been hormonal then it won't happen, but the way our family life is at the moment we don't feel we can justify a reversal. (Does that make any sense whatsoever?)

We have also considered going to get him tested to see if he is fertile again and if he is we'd just keep shtum about it

Anyway, I did have some very good news though, although it's very early days my BF got a BFN this week after her IVF treatment!

Do you mean she got her BFP? That's super :)

I'm genuinely rather disappointed on your behalf, Prod. And I'm a bitter old cah with an almighty chip on my shoulder about only being "allowed" the one, who thinks more than two is greedy!

Doh! ThickieProd... yes Jenai I did mean BFP for my BF .
