I have read about a few posters taking upto 3000mg and some on 1000 so I went for middle ground.

scuba I don't think you're going to find an answer to that because everyone's experiences can be so different. Some say they feel same pmt signs as usual, Some have then stronger, some have no sign either way.
Fwiw, when I got my BFP with DS I didn't feel 'pregnant' and had usual pms type stuff. The one difference beong that I noticed my boobs started to hurt days earlier than usual.
The frustrating thing is that pregnancy 'signs' can be just the same as AF signs, it's all hormone related after all.
Hope you get your BFP soon.

Mersea · 02/07/2012 21:58

Hi scuba hormones can do so many different things to different people. I get bloated just before I ov and just before af arrives. I usually get sore boobs about a week before af but some months I don't have any soreness at all. I am also getting mix messages during tww, I am feeling a bit sick and getting a metal taste in my mouth which I know can be pg symptoms but on the other hand I am getting my usual pre af cramps. Bloody symptom spotting can drive you mad.
Hi RIBS I got myself some EPO at the weekend to try as also on clomid. Do you take it all cycle or only until you ov. I remember reading somewhere that one of the supplements can cause slight contractions but can't remember which one.

winkle2 · 02/07/2012 22:05

Mersea, you take EPO only up to OV.

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 02/07/2012 22:08

mersea that's epo, you only take it upto OV. Your symptoms sound good - metallic taste is a sure sign :) I get the sore boobs a week vpbefore AF, although never noticed any symptoms around OV except CM changes.

Mersea · 02/07/2012 22:17

Hi thanks winkle and reds I will try them next cycle if I have no luck this time round. What with the clomid and being 40 I need all the help I can get, starting to feel like a dried up, no good for baby making tcc mess Grin it's been well over a year now and I am willing to try anything!! I know the metal taste and sickness sound promising but can't ignore the usual pre AF cramps and bloating. It's hard getting a good balance between not getting too excited and being negative each month.

wishfulthinking1 · 02/07/2012 22:21

Hi girls-
Thanks for all your k

wishfulthinking1 · 02/07/2012 22:31

Hi girls-
Thanks for all your kind messages- I'm still lurking ready to cheer as the bfp's roll in! I've been heartened by the fact (someone mentioned it upthread- on phone so can't check who) but as July 1st was cd1, I'm still in with a July BFP shot at the end- ill be testing around July 28th- so all is not lost! AND- I'll be a married woman by then AND now I'll defo not have AF visiting when I say 'I do'!

But girls- aunt flo has brought in her pals this week- I've never seen anything quite like it! SO MUCH BLOOD! My periods normally aren't that bad but ive filled my moon cup 6 times today- staff toilets looked like a murder scene before i cleared up! It's quite incredible- bodies are fascinating, aren't they! I've taken 2 iron supplement tablets just incase!

Anyway, thanks again for the kind words and thoughts- lots of positive symptoms so fx for the rest of you!

pipsicles · 02/07/2012 22:49

Evening all! Sorry to wishful and others about AF. I had my first after mmc last month and was, like everyone else in the same boat, gutted. But I also tried to take the positive view that I was doing what the dr ordered and hopefully things would work better this cycle.

I'm 16dpo today and all the signs are looking good - very good. I poas this evening(I know, I know, stupid time of day!) and wasn't really surprised to see a bfn, but will try again in the morning as I'm sure I saw the faintest of faint lines (wishful thinking?!) I was going to wait until Wednesday or even Friday, but decided that there's no point - if I think I am, then it's better to know, surely?! We tried dtd last night to bring on AF (if she's gonna come, then just get the hell on with it woman!), but still nothing...we'll see.

Scuba re your question, I believe you can tell that early. I did some research the other day and found that the rise in oestrogen and progesterone that happens with conception can cause the same symptoms that we normally recognise post implantation. With my mmc, I knew pretty much straight away with symptoms happening from the start and if I'm right this time, then exactly the same has happened again (I'll feel a right tit if I'm wrong this month, but I know you won't all judge!) However, I would add that if you get the same symptoms every month, then it is probably not a reliable way of telling and more likely has something to do with the hormones in your body post ovulation maybe being a little higher than normal? (I'm no medical expert at all btw, just based on a little bit of google, but hope it helps all the same).

Christelle2207 · 02/07/2012 23:08

Hi again pipsicles!! Sorry about the mmc.....

Sounds v promising fingers xd for you. So what symptoms are you getting to make you so positive? If you've had it before recently the of course you'd know. How many dpo did you get a clear positive last time?

Chez Christelle I actually am going mad. Af should be here thurs or fri, at the moment I feel sick with nasty taste in mouth - not necc. Metallic but never tasted metal so not sure what that would be!!! I also have AF style cramps and random boob and back pain. I get crampy a bit before AF but never all of the above! THIS 2WW STINKS!!! Only 7dpo... Going to try and last out till thurs befor testing. Just notice that the Internet cheapies I have claim to measure 10mlU/ml hcg - first response early result ones are 25 so not as good in theory. Anyone who's worried about the costs of test should get them from the home health website - they're literally about 25p each (order them and opks in batches of 50 which last me a while)

scubastevie · 02/07/2012 23:12

Thank you all so so much for taking the time to reply I really appreciate it. That is good in a way then, else I kind of give up hope a week after OV with the same symptoms.
Got a little bit of blood when I wiped earlier today which never happens so fingers crossed its implantation. AF due and testing Wed morn. A MASSIVE GOOD LUCK to you all for BFP. (i will probs still lurk :o)

fatasbutter · 03/07/2012 06:43

Any word yet pipsicles ?!?!

Hi wishful - am feeling better each day, and also remembered that I would be due to test again on 28th July, although there won't be much point as I'm away from DH between cd7 and cd14 this month Sad - if stupid AF hadn't come so early I would've been ok to try again but I will miss the window this time - if I can pin him down on cd 14 I suppose miracles could happen!! Hmm how are you??

kittykatsforever · 03/07/2012 07:38

So christelle and Popsicles looking really promising!!! Awaiting results soon hopefully
Thanks foe everyone's epo results, think I'll stick to 1000 this month then if nothing happens up the dose!
Well no sexy time last night, dh made a stand, very pissed off but I didn't really want to anyway! Just wondering if we can fit it in today when dd has a nap before he goes work but I've got a smear booked in for 11:30 Sad and I'm worried itll all be goey and effect test?! What would eveyone else do? Cd13 can't see him again till cd16 ? ( I don't usually ov til 17-18) but not really sure what to expect this month with last cycle cd23 ( after mc) and no ad before as bf and pg
Help me please!!!!

kittykatsforever · 03/07/2012 07:47

Oh and wishful in regards to very heavy af, that's what I ment about the wtf cycle, when you've had that af you do realise maybe your body needs a clear out before pg again, it made me feel abit better I know we'd bother still rather have been of!

backwardpossom · 03/07/2012 08:06

BFN this am probably too early to test though. FF thinks I'm 11dpo and my temps are still high. I hate waiting...

OpenMindedSceptic · 03/07/2012 08:15

Morning all,

BFN this morning, there was a faint little line but I am 100% sure it was an evap line - grey in colour, not blue. Not too upset as Af not due till thursday, hoping for the best!

redstrawberry · 03/07/2012 08:34

There's still time Open and backward lets keep our fingers and toes crossed!
sorry about the bfns

sending more positive thoughts to you wishful on the plus side you can drink at your wedding and enjoy the moment. when is your big day?? Hope you have a fabulous wedding. You are still not out for July :)

Could the heavy AF be your body adjusting post the mc? Which means you will have a better chance once AF finishes this cycle.

winkle2 · 03/07/2012 08:51

My monitor started flashing the M button today which means I'm 12dpo and can test eeeeek
