Welcome Coffee! :)

EmmaLou - glad you got your bloods done, let us know how you get on. (can't believe it's a 5 day wait)!!

Still no AF for me. Have resisted all urges to test until Monday morning (not sure how). Have also been super busy at work (hence the silence from me) but has also been a welcome distraction.

Still feeling nauseous every now and again, but boobs ok (big, but not especially sore). Anyone else getting symptoms?!

emmaloupolman · 19/05/2011 21:14

I am going to ring them tomorrow afternoon as people have told me they have got them bk same day.
I feel sick in the morning so tired espically running around after my son whom is 2 and 5 months i am also getting stomach cramps on and off like period pains.
How late are u knitterati

Ach AF arrived today. Actually glad to have the situation resolved tbh. Told DH that we are stepping up the baby making next month and getting more scientific about it - before this I just assumed you ovulated in the middle of your cycle. Good luck everyone!

emmaloupolman · 19/05/2011 21:34

Sorry about af fuchzia good luck 4 next month Smile

Sorry to hear that Fuchzia, fingers crossed for next month. I'm also struggling to get DH to get with the programme! He does kind of understand it all but I think he's finding it a bit odd to be DTD this often!! Until now sex has always been for fun, I know it sounds dumb but it's difficult to associate shagging with babies IYSWIM!
Any news from Dr Emmalou?
How late are you Knitterati?
I'm fairly sure I ovulated a few days ago, weird pains and my temp went up a fair bit (first month charting so not really sure how much it's meant to go up!). Can't decide when to test because I don't know how long my cycle will be this month! Any suggestions?! I'm going to this wedding on 1 July (and want to drink if I can) but I'm kidding myself I'll hold out from testing till then!! Symptom spotting like mad ? even though I haven't got any!! I did have this nice warm glowy feeling in my tummy though... does that count?! Hmm

knitterati · 20/05/2011 20:51

Now at CD38 and still no sign of AF!! I'm trying not to get my hopes and too excited, just in case. I'm going to test for a third time on Sunday morning, so that I can get a blood test booked in first thing Monday if it's still a BFN. AF has never been this late (10days) before...

I have had the odd sip of wine, but nothing serious. I must admit that I cancelled on a girly night out with a good friend because when we meet up, we normally find ourselves pretty drunk by the end of the night, so I just avoided the temptation. If I do get a BFP, I might ask DH to stop drinking at home - esp. when he has nice cold crisp glass of white wine... :)

So Knitting - I'm sure a small tipple with food should be ok if you're still in Limbo.
Any news EmmaLou?

Fuchzia · 22/05/2011 08:02

Oh Enmalou it's so stressful isn't it. Fingers crossed for you.

knitterati · 22/05/2011 11:49

Oh EmmaLou, the wait and uncertainty is so annoying and stressful.

I'm on cd39 and still no AF and got another BFN yesterday morning. Gonna have to go for a blood test this week I think..

All 3 HPKs have been CB ones - one a 'plus' one and the other 2 CB digis. I've heard the digis arent v sensitive, so I'm wondering/hoping if it's the brand of test or something?

emmaloupolman · 22/05/2011 14:55

Bleeding is on and off i can only wait for bloods to come bk now and know for sure whats going on.
knitterati demand a test as i was told to re test in 2 weeks its only because i have my hen night next week i said i cant wait

OP posts:
emmaloupolman · 22/05/2011 16:45

knitterati · 22/05/2011 17:14

Sorry to hear that EmmaLou. At least you can drink without worrying on your hen night & focus on your next try :)

Just make sure your OH gives you plenty of TLC!

emmaloupolman · 22/05/2011 17:45

Yh thank u his cooking me a nice fat roast dinner Smile

KnittingKnots · 24/05/2011 07:45

Sorry Emmalou, that's really tough, I hope you're ok. Going to the dr always makes it seem more likely in a way ? you convince yourself that if you're going then its a definite BFP (or I do anyway Hmm!) At least the waiting is over and you can get on to your next cycle.
Day 41 for you Knitterati? Have you booked a doctor's appointment? I'm on day 67 ? just counted and I knew it had been a while, but still Shock.
I cracked this morning and did both OV and preg test, both bfn. Boo. I still think i ov'd last tuesday though, so I guess it's still too early to tell. I have no idea what I'll do at the end of 2ww if I still have BFN and no AF... Scream a bit? Oh my gosh, the doctor won't know what's hit them....Grin

KnittingKnots · 24/05/2011 07:48

Oh, and has anyone ever tested their DH/DP? They sell sperm tests (technical term?!) online and i'm getting tempted... Nothing to indicate that there's anything wrong with his sperm, just having bits of kit to fiddle with makes me feel I'm in control! Which, of course, I'm not Sad

knitterati · 24/05/2011 10:14

yep day 41 in the big brother house... ;) I've booked in for a blood test on Friday as there's still no peep of AF. I'll be then cd44 and 16 days late, so here's hoping. (I might do another HPT in between times...just in case) :) have bought a FR HPT as they've got good reviews on here. Have also been keeping up the BD just in case I haven't ovulated yet...

day 67! knitting blimey! At least you've ovulated, so you have some end in sight (let's hope it's a happy one). Probably a bit early so the waiting begins!

I haven't thought about sperm kits, but I know what you mean - might give you some feeling that everything is working ok...DH had some testicular issues a few years ago, so I might have a trawl through the internet if the BFNs continue..

mimi46 · 24/05/2011 14:55

Hi Peoples im new, i am now on CD 50 I last did a pregnancy test early last week which was a digital and negative. Too despondent to do anymore but got a blood test result to await. Things are confused cos im 46 so it could be premenopuase but hey ho. Fingers crossed for the stork.

mimi46 · 24/05/2011 14:57

Im not sure i got terms right- AF first day was 50 days ago

knitterati · 24/05/2011 16:27

that's right Mimi :) & welcome!

When do you hear back from your blood test? - I've heard it can take up to 2 weeks! Shock

I have my fingers crossed for you!

emmaloupolman · 24/05/2011 19:51

Welcome mimi
I went back to the doctors and asked for a day 21 blood test which i got and if it shows that the clomid are working and i am still not pregnant then they will refer me to a fertility clinic

OP posts:
KnittingKnots · 25/05/2011 09:09

Emmalou another blood test after the one you just had? You must be running out of blood!! I hope they can work out what's going on. I haven't quite got my head around all the tests you can have ? I didn't get that far with my GP before she kicked me out the door....
Day 68 for me! Waiting waiting waiting. How long after ovulation does AF normally show up? Is it really 2 weeks? dead on? What do I do if nothing happens? I guess the fact that I ovulated (apparently) means I shouldn't be hanging round on this thread, but the buses are really depressing cos everyone else seems to have really well organised, regular cycles! I feel a bit of a freak! Really hoping the OV test was right, the BD seems to have slowed right down ? we're both working really hard at the moment and just can't seem to get the energy together! Terrified that I might have missed out this month ? especially since I only seem to get a go every two or three months!!
Hi Mimi. Let us know what blood test says. Have you got any children already or is this your first?

emmaloupolman · 25/05/2011 20:46

knittingknots the last one was 2 c if i was pg this one is to see if i am ovulating.
How many tests have you taken? are u normaly regular if u are i would tell your gp that u want a blood test
