sorry about AF orange Sad best of luck for next time!

Pipbin · 10/05/2011 11:51

Orange When I say I run, what I mean is that I drag my sorry ass around for a mile every morning. I am not a serious runner by any means.
I think I'll carry on as normal while TTC and then take advice from the GP if I strike it lucky!

I don't know what to make of what's going on with me now. I've stopped taking the pill about two weeks ago and got straight down to business, yes I know I should have waited a cycle but I was too excited! So no AF yet. However I have been getting very very mild cramps, more twinges really. I'm feeling a little queasy a lot of the time and have no appetite. My CM is watery sticky.
All very confusing.

DreamingOfABump · 10/05/2011 15:36

still waiting. poas 10ml xtra sensitive ic and neg. Really dont think its possible im up duff any more as its just getting ridiculous. Wish af would hurry up if she coming. ffs, getting annoyed now!

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 10/05/2011 15:51

Sorry about the Af orange - hope you know one way or the other dreaming :-(

Got up this morning to find a post-it note stuck to the lid of my laptop saying 'wow! I'm going to be a daddy. I love you...'
:-)

He'll be just fine. (sorry MN)

Tanif · 10/05/2011 16:31

I need a hug and some reassurance...

But first, hello to everyone I don't know and a hello to everyone that was on the last bus!

I've been off the pill since January and since then my cycles have been 30 days long. This month I'm onto day 33 and I'm scared to test. I've had little to no symptoms other than some gagging when cleaning my teeth and a bit of mild nausea here and there (right now I feel fine!) as well as some cramps that have had me convinced AF will be here any minute... five days later and nothing has happened. My boobs hurt (nothing new there since they get steadily sorer from ovulation onwards), but other than that... nada.

I know I should test but... when it's a BFN I'll just get frustrated and angry that my period isn't showing up. I'm 99.9% convinced I ovulated on Sunday 24th April as had all the signs...

Gah.

Poppyjen · 10/05/2011 19:31

Hi Tanif

I know you are worried about another BFN, but look at it another way you don't want to be second guessing yourself for too long it'll drive you crazy!! If you ovulated on the date you think then there would be easily enough HCG in your system now for it to be picked up nice and clearly by a First Response or similar so if you test at least you'll know Smile

Easier said than done I know but at least if you know either way you'll be aware of what your body is (or isn't) doing. I am the queen of long weird cycles so I know how you must be feeling Confused

....and you don't want to be one of those women who go to the GP with stomach cramps, get sent home with antibiotics only to end up in A+E later same day in full blown labour!!! (which did actually happen to my Aunt 12 years ago...she had no idea she was pregnant and gave birth to a full term baby girl! Shock - GP told her she had a UTI...)

Go on, be brave and do a test. It might be positive, stranger things have happened Wink

blueeyedmonster · 10/05/2011 20:27

Well i'm now a day late and despite two bfn's my boobs are still really sore, I just want to know one way or the other now!

bfn' suck. We could o with little run of bfp' now please universe!
cakes omg how lovely was that message :D super cute!
Tanif theres no hurry, testing doesnt change the outcome, and youre more likely to get an accurate result a bit later so if you feel better to wait for a while then do just that.

Fingers crossd for us all

More waiting now - waiting to tell people, waiting for scan and booking appt, waiting for this pregnancy to be 'safe'. Lots of waiting :-)

Sorry to hear about your BFN Coffee, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to succeed this month.

DreamingOfABump · 13/05/2011 12:03

AF finally got me, 8 days late. Had a feeling it was game over because all the symptoms disappeared. Maybe I had a little egg but it didnt develop properly. Onwards and upwards, it was only our first month & we have lots of time to make another super egg!

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 13/05/2011 14:07

Sorry to hear that dreaming, but that happened to me a few months back, it's what started us trying. I think, maybe, it can be like a spring clean or a test run? Fingers crossed that the next one sticks with it! :-)

blueeyedmonster · 13/05/2011 19:44

Sorry dreaming hopefully next month will be your month.

I am now 4 days late and still have sore boobs. I just want to know either way now, I hate being in limbo.

blueeyedmonster · 13/05/2011 21:31

How reliable are those cheapy test you can get off the net? The 10ml ones?

Poppyjen · 14/05/2011 12:41

I have heard different things blueeyed some people say they are great others say they always show evap lines. I have a ton on order, helps me to pass the time during the 2ww....is there a line, isn't there a line, what about if I hold it over the light etc Wink

I think as soon as I get a whisper of a pink line on one of them I would test with a First response or clearble digital to make sure Smile

blueeyedmonster · 14/05/2011 15:03

Thanks Poppyjen I have some and used one last night and this morning, they both had faint lines. Definately there but not dark like the 'control' line.

I'm going to test with a cb tomorrow morning with fmu and keep my fingers crossed that it's not an evap line!!

Poppyjen · 14/05/2011 18:05

That sounds very promising indeed Grin FX for you!!

blueeyedmonster · 14/05/2011 19:46

Thanks, I did another one earlier Blush and that line was stronger!!

Tomorrow morning can't come round quick enough for me now.

Poppyjen · 14/05/2011 19:52

I am 12 dpo now and I have run out of ics Shock so couldn't POAS this morning....I was expecting some more to be delivered today and they didn't come. Rats.

I have had to be very patient and not think about it (failing miserably...)

I have a CB Digital in reserve saved for next week just before we go on holiday. Its calling to meeeeeeeeeee...............
