also today ive randomly had aches/twinges in my right side :// panicking wondering if my cyst has came back, but had scan on 10th this month surely couldnt have came back and grown big enough to feel pressure?
Wouldn't expect ectopic, as i could only be 3weeks ( if preg at all) can't be ovulation that was last week! any ideas? x x

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 18:27

Fx for you zonat :)

Curious i do that to when testing i will poas then do a bit of house work

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 20:22

Rightup - i do hope so, other wise i am just going crazy!
I rang GP earlier, then hung up before they answered was going too arrange blood tests! but im too scared, after a mc in january, im starting too panick incase i actualy am! and these tugging pains arnt helping starting too think something might be their but going wrong! god give me strength hahah!

Cookiesandcream06 · 27/03/2012 20:37

Do you know what zonat I think this could be !! I don't want to get your hopes up but if you've seen all these lines, faint or not, I find it hard to think otherwise. But yeh I'd wait till nearer AF due date then do a digi maybe?

So far I'm actually holding it together and with 8 days till AF I'm yet to cave, but still very early days, it could go horribly wrong ever so soon! And I know for a fact I've made the mistake and have about 5 tests as well as cheapies up stairs.. Under the bed.. Calling out to me..

Thanks for the info on the cyst guys, I do feel a lot better about it now.

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 21:10

Yeahh i have a digi ordered from amazon, arriving fri/sat! im all out till then, So will no for sure then :)

zonat92 · 27/03/2012 21:37

& cookie, i admire u! i reallly do. I cannot have tests in the house and not use them. Its almost like i cant pee these days unless it on a stick Blush!!

I looked at the latest test again b4 just to see how it look now dry, and it looks completely negative!

I think its all in my head, after my emotional break down at the beach after someone taking my table, and tonight after asking Dh to run the chippy for me and he replied no, i broke down in tears again!
These have got too be AF hormones.
Well no for sure this weekend, will update then. feel like ive completly taken over this thread with my constant updates haha!
Think ive gone mad :o

winkle2 · 27/03/2012 21:40

Don't worry zonat we don't mind!!

Honestly wait till Friday and I'm sure you'll get your BFP.

I know about having tests in the house, just don't but them cause it's too tempting!!

Symptom spotting here but all I fancy today is salty foods!!

Thanks Winkle :). mmmm Foood haha x

Cookiesandcream06 · 27/03/2012 22:04

Don't be silly zonat , it's what we are here for! If the same had happened to me I'd be the same! Personally I think it's very normal TTC behaviour!! Smile

I got a bit obsessive last month and bought two packs of 2 FR as they were on offer and a few superdrug ones.. To be fair, if I thought i was or even had a bit of hope I prob would.. I OVed later than originally thought, I think I calculated wrong. Did still DTD but don't think it was timed brilliantly. I just don't want the disappointment in all honesty.

Cookiesandcream06 · 27/03/2012 22:06

Oh and last month I did the exact same thing with POAS, you keep looking at it ages after the time, in a bid to make it turn positive, even when the words 'not pregnant' are clearly displayed. Like you're hoping it's going to change its mind in the time you've washed up and had a shower... You. Are. Not. Alone. Smile

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 27/03/2012 22:14

Yes cookies, you're right! I too have done that Grin You are soooooo not alone zonat!

I love that feeling of anticipation and excitment while you wait for the result and convince yourself that this will be the test that is positive even though you sort of know that it wont be

winkle2 · 27/03/2012 22:29

I did 3 tests last month which is why I'm resisting this month!!

MildredH · 27/03/2012 22:30

Ooh zonat you're possible BFP is making me excited!

morecoffee how can you love it? I dread the horrible butterfly tummy usually culminating in disappointment Sad

I'm going through my sticks fast.. Persuaded DH we should do a first response tonight ( AF due sat/sun) bfn of course. I know, prob still bit early..

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 27/03/2012 23:04

I love the feeling that this might be it, and think about seeing that line. I then hate the HORRIBLE feeling after when its a negative :( I have now stpped keeping them in the house as it was getting me too down. I will not buy a test until the day before I need to test now.......

iloveminieggs · 28/03/2012 08:53

Thats what I said last month and I caved. I then bought a pack of 2 DH found them and hid them! So I bought some more! It's so hard!! But I'm trying really hard not to test this month. I'd rather not see another bfn

zonat92 · 28/03/2012 09:00

Thanks Ladies:) I really have been soo obsessive this month! Only because ino even if i OV'd abit earlier or later i was still swi, i pretty much have every 2-4 days through this cycle! but i really need to stop getting my hopes up & symptom spotting. TTC is exhausting ha ha mentally i mean!!

But statistically i still only have a 25% chance even if everything was done right.

I can't wait too let u all no for sure, and hear all your outcomes :o not long now.

iloveminieggs · 28/03/2012 09:49

25% sounds high somedays but it also sounds tiny!!
Fingers crossed ladies. I feel like I have ages to wait AF not due til 8th Sad
I'm sure all this worry and stress isn't good for us!

Iheartcats87 · 28/03/2012 10:01

I'm so jealous, I have to wait the longest! Lol Af not due til the 13th! Stupid long cycles! I wish I knew when I ovulated so I could officially start my tww but have no idea if I'm in it now or not lol oh dear...

zonat92 · 28/03/2012 10:15

Iloveminieggs- i too think 25% sounds tiny :(.
& the stress probably isnt doing us good haha, I didn't have all this stress with ds, i was ttc but wasn't a poas freak haha! think i concieved him on cycle4, Now im on cycle 4 this time so maybe my lucky 1 haha :).
Would deffinatly reccomend waiting till AF day saves any stress or upset, even if u get BFP early theirs always chance of cp.. Hmm should take my own advice:o hah

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 28/03/2012 10:53

iheartcats I'm in the same boat as you, I have long unpredictable cycles. I'm testing on 11th, not because AF is due then but because its about 6 weeks since last AF started so should be long enough. I hate hate hate the unpredictable ness if it all.

Well I'm still bleeding :( sorry tmi I know. It's been going on since Saturday. Heavy at times, but we have had some moments where it has stopped so got some swi in last night and Monday night Grin I am wondering if its ovulation though? I'm also thinking maybe I just had a really short cycle and its AF? That would've that cycle 19days! Hmm the cycle before was 56days! Or maybe it not AF and just some random inconvenient bleeding! Arrrrrrrggggghhhhh! Last time I saw gp about it, she said that this just happens to some people :(

So anyway.a question for all you knowledgeable ladies. Is there some sort of 'treatment' the fertility clinic may offer me to regulate my cycle/stimulate ovulation at regular times to help us conceive?

Sorry for the long post!

Winkly · 28/03/2012 10:56

morecoffee I believe Clomid stimulates ovulation and is often the first port of call in these circumstances.

Thanks winkly off to Dr Google for more info ............... :)
