good to see you back winkle really hope AF makes an appearance soon. Weird! how our bodies seem to have a mind of its own.

I haven't had a chance to mull over symptoms today, busy at work and oddly enough I haven't felt any. I feel I am probably not pregnant more than anything today. I normally get sore boobs by this point and I haven't even got that! NO CM! nothing, nada!

I will be buying those OV sticks next month if it turns out to be a BFN :(

kitty ? the monitor asks you for sticks every day. once you have peaked (ov'd) it doesn't ask for sticks anymore. and you can't 'feed' it sticks when it hasn't asked for them as it won't read them. Does that make sense? The monitor is currently flashing 'm' for menstruation. When your period arrives you press the 'm' button and it classes that as CD1 of a new cycle. I havent pressed the m button because bloody AF never arrived grrrr!

It's weird ? no AF has never happened to me before. And it's so annoying that I don't know WHY. I hope it's not the start of something wrong with me :(

red I hope it's a big fat PPPPPPPP for you

kittykatsforever · 17/07/2012 16:59

I presume you asked the doctor about it? What did they say? For me a sudden change in what's normal I'd want checking out? Not that it is necessarily something wrong but it must be indicative of something when it's the length of late were seeing here?!? A hormone thing like why you don't get af while breast feeding or something??

winkle2 · 17/07/2012 17:24

kitty ? well the doctor put me down as having 'irregular periods' as I told him that my cycle length varies every month (only by a few days). I told him this was the longest cycle yet. He didn't seem too fussed to be honest ? just sent me away with all the paperwork to do all the fertility tests as I told him we'd been trying a year.

I kinda argued with him because he wanted me to do a certain blood test on CD21. I said CD21 was 2 weeks ago. he said well wait till you come on your period. I said well when will that be, how will I know when that will be? He said 'when you bleed' .

I said to him what if this cycle is 50 days? or 70 days? What then? He said if no AF in 2 weeks book the 21 day blood test anyway. LOL ANOTHER 2WW wait for me!!

I asked him why my period hadn?t come and he said it could be a range of things from thyroid problem, from not OVing, etc and that he couldn't tell me but these tests would help to determine why I hadn?t got AF.

redstrawberry · 17/07/2012 17:31

shakes head at the stupidity of doctors these days
winkle my friend didn't have her AF for 60 days and turns out she hadn't ovulated so no period. I questioned it because I thought you should still get AF even if you didn't ovulate but apparently sometimes you don't get an AF if you don't ovulate. an anovulatory cycle.

did you get a +ve on the CBFM?

winke

I think it's a good approach. Just keep DTD and having the fun and see what happens. I can't believe it's just so blase though. Like...it's your lives and things that have occupied your lives for so long. Would it hurt to be a little bit kinder?!!

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 17:38

Ribs yay for a faint line! Hope it gets stronger v soon!

winkle you're a day behind me so we can be testing buddies! Good luck for this week ;)

RIBS · 17/07/2012 17:49

Welcome back from the cod @Winkle.

Get your pulling pants on, or off! And get some epo down u. And just keep banging away. U will c another positive Ov test and get 2 it. Then go 2 dr's 7 days after for the 21 day test.

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 17:53

Yay for RIBS :-) Keeping fingers very firmly crossed for you.

We need more good news.

winkle2 · 17/07/2012 18:30

Red - I got a positive on CBFM 26 days ago!!!!! Madness! I've been waiting for AF as long as some people's cycles!

Thanks newbie and good luck to you too - we can be bonking buddies Grin

RIBS - hmmm I wasnt going to use any sticks or my monitor this month but maybe I should to see if I get a smiley?

Bloody annoyed with the CBFM still grrrr

winkle2 · 17/07/2012 18:39

Just had a thought - I have 9 CBFM sticks left which can also be used as cb digital sticks! Yaay! Will start to use them from tomorrow I think!

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 18:41

Winkle I'm using CBFM and OV sticks this week. I don't really trust anything so feel the need to try everything all at once :)

wishfulthinking1 · 17/07/2012 18:46

nigglepiggle · 17/07/2012 19:20

Ah thanks Lisamol I was reading it as "effects" which didn't make any sense at all!! Grin

I have Fx for everyone!

redstrawberry · 17/07/2012 20:23

I'm having really bad cramping near belly button. Have a hot water bag and loose PJs but everything feels tight around the stomach and lower abdomen.

If I get a bfn this month I swear I won't be even looking at any symptoms till I get that bloody BFP. I'm actually feeling very frustrated that I'm cramping this way and it might just turn out to be indigestion! Argh! I wish I could just take some pills to block out my body.

I want our belly buttons to turn blue if we're pregnant

Or cold

Obviously

RIBS · 17/07/2012 20:44

I know what u mean red. Iv had headache
Since 7dpo, possible implantation flutter, now dizzy spells, and I'm ravenous. But the more I look at this mornings stick the more I think evaporation or cp.
U don't know if you're losing your mind or your bodys just taking the piss.

RIBS · 17/07/2012 20:47

Kick. That's a marvellous idea. I also think evolution would have come up with a better way for childbirth. Hands up who'rd rather lay a small egg an nest 4 a while. Sooo much better.

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2012 20:51

Would we have to sit on it ribs? I suppose we could share responsibility with DPs! Actually, yeah, thats much more fair! Then the painful bit is at the beginning too so you will have the 9 months just looking forward to seeing the baby, not dreading how the hell it's going to get out!

KickTheGuru · 17/07/2012 20:56

AND eggs are smaller!!!

redstrawberry · 17/07/2012 21:00

You ladies cheer me up!
Grin love the blue belly button and hatching the egg concept.
We could build pretty nests and just have to escape all the nausea, morning sickness, childbirth wow sounds better by the minute!

ribs please post early tomorrow...keeping everything crossed for a dark BFP. You deserve it so much.

KickTheGuru · 17/07/2012 21:07

I think I want to give birth to a cartoon
