Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm just not looking forward to another month of people saying, 'So, when are you having another one then?'- mental note made to never say that to anyone!!

goingmadtrying · 01/02/2011 07:51

Although your AF hasn't yet arrived so still a glimmer of hope :)

No, they don't! Thank goodness they can't see these forums :o
Thanks for the glimmer of hope goingmadtrying, but I'm pretty convinced.
Best of luck to anyone left to test!

vegas my DP wasn't all that engaged with it first couple of cycles, but I think its just because he wasn't that knowledgeable about the whole process (I mean the intricacies of things), I've slowly been trickling through bits and pieces of info, and he's now much more interested. I started charting this month, and he always wants to know if its up or down and what that means, so I think that has helped too.

DH is probably just worried about you - mine was a bit like that too! Wink

sevendwarves · 01/02/2011 12:14

Sorry ellan, I wouldn't rule it out yet though, not before AF is due.

I also tested this morning and got another BFN. 16dpo and AF due today. Still no PMS symptoms though so I don't know what's going on. I expect AF will creep up on me when I least expect it!

goingmadtrying · 01/02/2011 13:21

Good afternoon ladies well still no AF and a little bit of spotting, just a 2 hr 5 minute nap on the sofa with a little man!!! could this be a sign!!!tomorrow will be 28 days so not sure whether to get a test for in the morning what do you all think?

goingmadtrying · 01/02/2011 13:22

that should say "just had"!!!

Sorry Vegas.

Disappointed faces all round today then. Does anyone have any good news?

cep · 01/02/2011 16:20

vegas hey hon, sorry for the bfn, see what happens on due day.

goingmadtrying · 01/02/2011 16:56

Hi all well I went on got some tests with the good intention of holding off, but couldn't help myself and got BFN:(
they were tesco value ones which say you can use from first day of missed period, but do think the bleeding I've had is turning into AF I'm cd 27 so due anyday from tomorrow to Friday. Feeling a bit fed up which is silly as when I started trying I wanted a winter baby so still got plenty of time, good luck to everyone else x

does anybody know how soon a blood test shows a BFP? Im due a load of blood and urine tests on Friday to check fertility levels before being referred to a clinic for artificial insemination. Only ive not told my doc that I have now arranged and have been TTC with a donor I have found. If I ask on Friday for a blood pregnancy test a, will they do it? b, how quick are results? c, will it be too soon? I will be 5 days before AF is due and 7 days since OV. I have a 26 day cycle.

Man this waiting is hard

goingmadtrying · 02/02/2011 07:13

Morning ladies any BFP's today still waiting for my AF to arrive got more bleeding with stringy bits (sorry TMI) so definately think I'm out the running for this month :(

pookypup · 02/02/2011 07:22

Sorry to hear that going mad, same for me this morning too :( at least I seems to have got back into a cycle after coming off the pill.

Also - OMG real period pain hurt! I forgot aver 15 years!

Good luck to all those hanging on to this bus, I'm off to catch the November one. X

goingmadtrying · 02/02/2011 07:27

Thanks pookypup when did u come off the pill? I'm only getting the bleeding when I wipe (god the amount you discuss on mn) do you count this as cd1 do you think I never just come on!! See u on the November bus :)

pookypup · 02/02/2011 07:55

I came off pill at start of Jan, so am really relieved to see AF now in some ways. Had a bit of spotting 2 day ago but this is now a full AF.

I know some people have different experiences when getting back to a cycle. Not sure if I would count what you describe as AF. I'd prob recod it in FF and see what happens.

When did you stop taking it goingmad?

ellangirl · 02/02/2011 08:45

Ok ladies,
having bowed out this thread, I'm barging back in again! I was just messing this morning, and having no hpts in the house, I peed on a digital OPK, and it turned positive Shock
So, having studied this I'm now thinking i should go and buy another test, What do you think? eek!

GenericDietCola · 02/02/2011 09:10

ellangirl sounds positive (excuse the pun!) - you should test again with a proper test tomorrow!

I'm still confused about what's going on for me. I had a very faint positive on Sunday, but this morning a BFN. I'm really disappointed as I was hoping for a BFP after holding out to test again since Sunday. This is my first cycle off the pill, so perhaps my body has not yet returned to normal. Anyone got any ideas?

I sort of want my af to arrive now so I know where I am in my cycle.

sevendwarves · 02/02/2011 09:44

This is my stop, AF got me this morning. I've had no PMS symptoms though which is strange.

Good luck to everyone left on board!
