Hi CountryKitty,

Thank you for your lovely message and I'm so sorry that you've been through this twice. It's just so awful..... I feel as if I've done all I can but it's not happening.

Here's hoping June is a better month!

Happilymarried155 · 16/05/2012 07:13

Joyful it doesn't mean there is something wrong, I have been ttc a year now and convinced myself I wasnt ovulating! Went crying to the doctors, had a blood tests and my results were great in fact I realise numerous eggs each month (which is pretty annoying as all these eggs have been going to waste each month!) after these tests I spoke to my doctor & she won't do any more tests on dh and I until we have been ttc for two years! She said its perfectly normally for it to take up to 18 months to concieve but you just find that people tend no to talk about it.

Keep positive, I'm starting acupuncture this month if AF arrives to sort out my stress levels!

Anyway two more days until I can test although I have a feeling I may crack tommorow as its my day off so I won't be busy and distracted!

I hope we have a BFP today to get the ball rolling!! :)

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 07:38

kicking i just ment like i wasn't ovulating or the lining wasn't thickening proply for implantation, ive on been ttc 4months since MC, so n ot long at all really just feels like forever, but ive been pg twice with 1 healthy full term (42+1weeks) pregnancy, so there's hope.

  • maybe when u concieve again joyful it may be multiples :o xx

Morning All

Happily that sounds frustrating! I don't know whether these doctors realize 18months is a bloody long time when you want something so bad!
I do hope the acupuncture has positive results for you x

Fx for positive BFPs for all!

Happilymarried155 · 16/05/2012 08:54

No need to wait for AF arrived this morning :( never mind x

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 09:07

Morning,

Happily Sorry AF arrived. At least you can crack on with the acupuncture now. No experience of this myself but i've heard loads of positive stories about it. Goodluck!

Well AF not turned up yet. Still got the cramps and lower back pain but none of the usual bloatedness or agony boobs, just tingly. Knicker checking galore here!

Goodluck to anyone testing this morning. x

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 09:09

Morning red :) how are you today??

Sorry happily :( but here's too another month off DTD, lots of baby dust!

Only thing to report for me, is really bad stomach this morningBlush
.. me-tally taste in mouth, feel a little nauseous! Could all be related too AF though how annoying :( no soar boobs or CM, But thats different than usual, usualy increased CM before AF!
It's hard to stay positive though, u just get used to the dissapointment.
3days anyway + i will no for sure! will be testing tomorrow :)

OP posts:
CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 09:30

everything That all sounds really positive! How many dpo are you? Would you be able to test today?

Even though I'm refusing to POAS I want you to!

KickingUpQuestions · 16/05/2012 09:35

I may stay off the forum for a bit. Another negative test and no AF.

How I feel today in summary:

I have done ovulation testing, I pretty much know everything that a layman would know and then some. I have studied research done on women, I know the stats and the theory, I know what theoretically should work and what shouldn't, I know that taking your temps is actually pointless because you ovulate before the spike, I know the theoretically physiological changes. There is pretty much nothing I haven't read up on what I shoudl or shouldn't be doing around this time and the funny thing is the amount of people who have had babies or who are pregnant who say "just relax and it will happen". I want to harpoon them.

Women get pregnant during drinking, smoking, high stress situations, emotionally abusive relationships, physically abusive relationships, drugs, happy times, sad times. I don't drink, smoke, have stress, I'm not abused, I have a good home life, I am happy.

Now though, I will admit that I feel like a failure and that I feel like I am torturing myself over nothing. I am on my 4th day of being late but I have a lot of period pain type cramps. Apparently, they are only supposed to be there for a day or two and I had what I thought was implantation cramps over the weekend, no cramps on Monday and then cramps again yesterday and today.

My breasts hurt more in the evening and I've tested negative all week. And I do test in the morning. I do tend to drink a lot of liquid - I've been very thirsty for the last two weeks or so and knocking back about 5L a day. We had a big fight (but good for our relationship) right about when I should have ovulated so maybe it just kicked my cycle out.

Either way, today is the fourth day of no period and I tested negative again so I am over it. It's like torturing yourself for information you just don't have. My back is sore, my hips are sore and my tummy is crampy so I took ibuprofen this morning. I am tired of being sore for no reason. And tired for no reason. I just can't sleep enough.

And the thing is that if any of those were as a result of pregnancy, it would mean that the pregnancy hormone is in my body enough to MAKE a difference, which would mean that I would test positive.

But I am not.

Therefore, not pregnant. :D

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 09:46

Hi Kicking Sorry you feel so down. When's your doctor's app? Hopefully he will be able to give you some answers. I think you're right to stop testing. If you were pg then you will still be whether you test or not, and if you're not, then there's no point torturing yourself. Goodluck over the next few days.

redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 09:52

Big Hug Kicking don't know what to say except give you another big hug :(
With your symptoms, missed period and BFNs if I was in your place I'd feel the same frustration. I hope you will go see the GP if AF doesn't arrive tomorrow. I could harpoon those women too! Will miss you on the forum but do come back. I hope you find out soon what's going in there so you know for sure.

Gutted for you happily more DTD for June. Fx Junes the month.

everything have you POAS? I didn't sleep too well last night as the stabbing pain went on till late night. No stabs this morning but have been feeling strong cramps and lot of gas Blush and bloated. No sore boobs, no change in CM.
trying to not get too hopeful as the disappointment will be immense.

when are you going to test countrykitty and when was AF due? Lots of Luck!

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 13:28

Red I've had implantation pains before. They felt like someone was scratching my insides very low down. It all sounds hopeful. When's AF due?

My AF is due today but as yet has not made an appearance...

My cycle is regular @ 25 days long and AF usually arrives in the morning, but last month came in the evening so not actually late yet. I think I ovulated a day or so later this month so if AF is late maybe that's why. Was going to test tomorrow morning if not come on by then, but getting AF type cramps now so will wait and see. x

Happilymarried155 · 16/05/2012 13:54

Thanks everyone, I'm really gutted and so cross! I'm so annoyed, I just don't understand why we aren't pregnant yet-it's the most frustrating thing. Will give Accupuncture a try and see how that goes.

Hope we get some BFP soon!! X

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 15:04

Hi Ladies Im so scared, Ive been ill ALL day, this morning i had severe dirareeh, went to work n was holding it in Blush CM turned creamy, and felt run down!
came home to find my tests that where suppose to come tomorrow, couldn't resist. Faint BFP :o.

They aren't a good make, they are from Amazon. called midstream 20miu.
two days ago i was getting BFN on 10miu.
Is this it? am i pregnant? i can't get exited with history of MC + CP :(

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 15:05

AF not due for 3days either x im getting mild period cramps again! :(

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 15:32

everything can you do a clear blue just to be certain? I will keep my fx for you.

country my AF is still awhile away - 10 days - feels like an eternity. I have been on the boots website to choose which test I'd get. But I have promised hubs I won't POAS until I am late. Struggling to remain patient with these symptoms.

I felt the same scratching low down this morning and its ongoing. I rarely get OV or Period cramps so def dont think its that. I am getting some pulling and tugging sensations too. and its all lower abdomen.

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 15:45

Well i got two tests today, going too try and hold of using it untill thurs. they say the hormone doubles every 48 hours so see if i get a better line, then payday friday + i will buy 1 too take on sat fmu, AF due then so should be a reliable result!
I feel so ill, could be a bug though, strange feeling. like car sickness. watery mouth like i need to be sick and can't :( if this is all pg symptoms i really wouldn't mind, just hope it is. i should have implantation about two days ago, getting the odd twinge in lower right side and left boob(usualy the right 1) haha xxx

Fx for u too:o

OP posts:
QueenOfTheRodeo · 16/05/2012 16:17

everything thats so exciting! I don't know how you're going to manage to wait till tomorrow before testing again, I'd have done about 5 by now! Blush

happily really sorry to hear about af arriving. What you wrote in your last post - "I just don't understand why we aren't pregnant yet" - I could have written that myself. It really is frustrating when you feel like you've done everything you possibly can to help things along but then af arrives as normal. fx for next month.

red the waiting is like torture isn't it? Heres hoping that the next 10 days flys by for you.

fx country that af doesn't arrive this evening.

oh kicking I'm sorry that you're feeling so down today. You are NOT a failure at all. If I remember correctly you have an appointment with your new GP tomorrow? Hope you get to talk things through with him/her and get some reassurance. I want to punch people who tell you to 'just relax' too - I was perfectly relaxed at the start but that didn't work either! I do think though that for some women it does just take a little while longer and we are just some of those women. Some of these threads wouldn't exist if everyone got preg on their 1st month, but theres loads of us still trying isn't there? I'm comforted by the fact that in a way its actually more normal to try for a while than to get preg straight away iyswim? Be kind to yourself today kicking - have something nice for dinner, a glass of wine and snuggle up with your DH. Big hugs. x

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 19:13

Everything A tentative congratulations!!! If your getting a BFP this early hopefully it's a strong sticky one!! Well done you!!

If you're getting a line on the IC then you should get a clear line on a proper test.

PickledFanjoCat · 16/05/2012 19:17

Congratulations GrinGrin

CountryKitty · 16/05/2012 19:25

Ladies advice please - AF due today and not arrived (yet!). Desperate to POAS BUT although AF due today I'm probably only 9/10 dpo. This has never bee a problem in the past for a successful pg but does make testing more problematic as obviously any hcg is low at AF due date. If AF doesn't show when should I POAS???

redstrawberry · 16/05/2012 19:35

I think one of digital tests can be accurate upto 4 days before period - maybe you could try peeing on one of them? If you are late you could try poas today. Fx for you too country! We need some bfps to get us going!

Everything - are you poas soon too?

everythinghappensforareason · 16/05/2012 21:14

Hiii, well i couldn't resist, was so hard but held my pee for 3hours and poas!
Same thing again. little hint of a line. So confusing. i could swear theres colour. I'm going too have to wait untill Friday now + take a cb digital :)

Anyone else tested today? xx

JoyfulJoyful · 16/05/2012 23:47

everything, would really love multiplies even more because DH doesn't and I won't have to torture myself like this again. I do hope and pray this is a BFP and it sticks this time.

kicking, please don't go. You are not a failure and I strongly believe it will happen. It may not happen now but it will. I hope you come back to us with good news.

happily, AF arrived today for me too and I was really disappointed. I had some spotting yesterday and was secretly praying that i was pregnant since it wasn't a full flow, so I guess it's a new cycle now.

Ladies, may I ask please, as I spotted yesterday but AF started today, which is CD1? Day I spotted or day AF arrived fully?

Queen, hang in there, it's gotta happen for us.

JoyfulJoyful · 16/05/2012 23:49

Country, hope AF stays away and you get a BFP
