nearly its horrible we get all these symptoms and never know whats going on. I dont want to get your hopes but the week before Af was due i had terrible cramping in my back and stomach it was so bad that i had to leave a trolly full of shopping in tesco and go home the following week AF never showed and i was pg. Dont give up just yet you never know.

nearlymumofone · 18/10/2011 20:55

cherry thank you. I have kinda given up hope, but also can't help wanting to believe that the back ache is some really unusual symptom of pregnancy. It's difficult isn't it? Cos in some ways you don't want to get your hopes up, in other ways it's kinda enjoyable to believe you could be even for a week until AF arrives!!!

Opks suggest I haven't ov'd and no EWCM, not much Cm at all infact, so when I think rationally about it, I'd put money on the fact i'm not.

Because GP had said it was very unlikely I could get pregnant when I got pg with DS I didn't pay any attention to any symptoms or anything so I can't remember what my symptoms were, other than I'm pretty sure it felt like af was on her way as I didn't even test until nearly a week after she was due.

louloubellamozzarella · 18/10/2011 21:54

GTR have you tested? [hwink]

GTR2882 · 18/10/2011 22:03

Evening ladies!! I'll be honest here, I have pissed in a cup 4 times tonight and not dipped a stick in any of them!! WTF!?!? I examined the contents carefully and decided that my pee was far too weak!! Damn me!!! Damn me to hell!! I'm gonna do it in the morning!! I promise!!! [hgrin]

Maisie55 · 18/10/2011 22:13

GTR!!! I can't believe you managed to resist dipping that stick in!! I would have definitely cracked by now, you deserve a medal!!!! [hgrin]

GTR2882 · 19/10/2011 05:39

Well I finally did crack this morning!! AF still MIA and 10 days late, CD 68 but BFN so time to get those blood tests and find out what my poor excuse for a body is playing at!!! Very frustrated and fed up now!!

Hope everyone in the 2ww has better luck than me and fx'd for a load of BFPs very soon [hgrin]

nearlymumofone · 19/10/2011 06:25

GTR I'm really sorry to hear that. I was really hopeful for you. x

GTR2882 · 19/10/2011 06:45

Ah Thanks nearly I can't even get cracking on next cycle as I have no idea when that will be! I could handle seeing BFNs if my body was behaving itself but with no AF I can only assume I am not ov'ing which makes TTC a little tricky!! So hopefully the doctor can shed some light on it all!! I'm actually wondering if I have actually missed 2 cycles that are normally 29 days long; if that were the case technically I would be gearing up to ov pretty soon so might have to SWI - you never know [hwink]

Train this morning smells a bit like death [hsad] making me feel very queasy indeed!!!

DeeLite · 19/10/2011 06:46

Oh no, GTR2882. I was sure you'd have some good news today. Good luck with the blood tests.

festiemum · 19/10/2011 08:42

Bollocking pissflaps, I'm sorry GTR Sad - when are you going to the Doc's? If I were you, I'd want to get the whole blood tests thing moving as soon as possible. You must be desperate for some answers.

Well, despite not knowing if and when I ov-ed, SS seems to have hit fever pitch. Still, AF should be due on Sat, so I can test then.

Have come to the conclusion that my shit thermometer is just that. Despite going for noo noo temping over the last week, my temps have shot down the last two mornings. It's supposed to beep 4 times when it hits a stable temp too, but half the time it doesn't, even if I leave it in for ages! Blush Even though it's confusing matters greatly, I can't seem to get out of the habit of doing it every morning - please, tell me to stop!!

Good news though, DH had a call from the GP and as he put it can "have cock pills for free"!!! So next month should be much easier! :)

louloubellamozzarella · 19/10/2011 08:53

Oh feckity feck GTR - get thee back to the doctor's. At least they can test you to see what the hell is going on!! Make sure you ham it up and get every check that's going [hsmile]

Good news on the pill front festie!!

No news for me - again.... Tested early this morning (probably way too early - is 2am too early?!) as woke up busting for a pee then realised if I did it'd muck up my FMU plans. So I POAS not realising it was quiiite so early [hblush] That was a BFN, but I was half asleep so only waited for a minute before going back to bed. Pointless! Will try again tomorrow morning.

No sign of AF arriving but my dates are very loose based on last month's wierd cycle with all that wierd spotting which I've never had before.

Unfortunately I have lots of work to get through this morning so I best get cracking so I can mess around on here later

GTR2882 · 19/10/2011 09:29

Ah thanks ladies!! Thanks festie that made me guffaw at my desk!!! Have called the docs and the earliest i can get in for the tests is 10th November, but I have a good feeling about oving this weekend so gonna get some more SWI in [hgrin] The doctor has already given me the blood test and he is testing for a lot of things (not sure what all the codes mean though!!)

Great news on the pills festie and loulou yes, 2am may have been a bit early!! What dpo are you?? No symptoms are sometimes good things and i am crossing everything that you get that shiny BFP this month (please don't leave us though if you do - what would i do? [hgrin]

I too have a lot to do today, so best get on with it while the mind is still willing!!

festiemum · 19/10/2011 09:39

Glad some bloods have already gone GTR, so maybe some answers will be forthcoming soon.

Loulou, I've done the POAS in the night thing before - not the best idea, cos you're never sure of how long you've left it, as you say! Try again tomorrow!

louloubellamozzarella · 19/10/2011 10:11

Yep, silly me, try again tomorrow.

TBH GTR I'm really not sure how many DPO I am. It could be anywhere between 15-10 [hconfused]- it's been really confusing this month annoyingly as I thought it'd be clearer.

I think I might get a CB monitor next month if BFN as I can't be arsed with all this temping etc (lazy moi?!) People sell them on second hand so I'm thinking I can always ebay it to get most of the money back on it even if they are expensive.

nearlymumofone · 19/10/2011 12:44

loullou I have ordered a CBFM should be here tmr, in time to start using it next week when AF arrives. Will let you now how I fair with it. For me I just want to know if i'm ov'ing and when in my cycle so that I an feel a bit more confident with it all.

Cd20 for me and still have af/back pains. Anyone know the af pains you get in early pregnancy are they just the same as regular af pains? and when do they start? I wish I could remember from last time I was pg, I know I had them but didn't pay much attention to them as assumed I certainly wasn't pg that month!

festiemum · 19/10/2011 13:04

Yes nearly, I seem to remember they are pretty much like af pains. That's the trouble isn't it? Most symptoms are almost identical to af symptoms! As it's quite early for you for af pains, could it be uterine stretches?! Oh I am a SS enabler! Sorry!! :o

nearlymumofone · 19/10/2011 13:06

ha! festie just worked out what ss means now!! yes, I'm dreadful. I KNOW i'm not pg but then i can't help but wonder if these AF symptoms are pg symptoms (even though I have them every month before af and I'm not pg every month!!)

Maisie55 · 19/10/2011 15:02

Ok, dunce hat on again - what is SS??

Thanks for putting up the stats again festie, although feeling a bit [hsad] that I am last and have so long to wait to see if AF turns up or not! Don't think I've even ov'd yet but then cycles are long and only on CD17 of potential 39 day cycle, ho hum, more SWI tonight then! [hwink]

louloubellamozzarella · 19/10/2011 15:14

Yes let me know how you get on nearly I'm watching one on ebay at the mo, so might snap it up if it's still cheap.

maisie SS = symptom spotting. I think it's an abbraviation invented on the June or July thread (as if we didn't have enough already right [hgrin])

Thanks for the stats festie, good to have a reminder of where everyone is. Eeek I'm quite near the top. Hope is get a BFP or a period very soon. This waiting is dull!

louloubellamozzarella · 19/10/2011 15:14

abbraviation

haha

abbreviation!

GTR2882 · 19/10/2011 17:54

Think I should be booted off the top tbh!! Maybe stick me in cargo for now while my body makes up its mind!!! [hgrin]

louloubellamozzarella · 19/10/2011 19:56

What would you like as your subheading GTR?!

I'm in a foul mood this evening. It's either AF on its way, possible SS or just me being a mardy arse [hgrin] [hangry]

festiemum · 19/10/2011 21:03

Well I've had a stressy bloody day. My 2yo dd has had a shitty cold which has gone to her chest. Her breathing was so laboured I ended up in the doc's this afternoon. She had to go on a nebuliser and we came home with steroids and inhalers and spacers.... I am a bit asthmatic, but thought the kids had escaped it so far... Poor little bugger, she's crashed out on the couch next to me, her breathing is still shallow, but it seems to be regular and she's resting now.
Bloody terrifying though, and she's not impressed with the steroids!

Totally forgot about SS today, so every cloud and all that! :o

GTR2882 · 19/10/2011 21:23

Oh festie you are going through the mill at the moment!! Hope your LO is feeling better very soon [hsmile]

loulou not sure what subheading - maybe I'm not in cargo but Quarantine!! So heading could be Quarantine - Awaiting All Clear!!!

Back on the SWI tonight - felt good [hwink]...........quite literally [hblush]
