Sorry guys :(
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish

I did a FSH test this morning and its just a dipstick but if you get a line apart from the control line, you may have elevated FSH hormones, which is bad (pre-menopausal).

So for the first time ever, I was hoping for no line and I got no line. So that's my LH hormones normal, FSH levels normal, DH seems normal, innards seem normal (probing dildocam to prove that), no endo etc etc. COME ON!

Next test should be 9 August but my sugars have been high yesterday - then crashed at 4am this morning. Blimming heat!!

How we all? :)
Sorry again

redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 09:34

That's good that the tests are coming back good Kick you have a good shot at August :)

Can't do much about AF - just sit and wait. The sun helps though - need to have a bbq this weekend. If she arrives, maybe even a few beers.

redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 09:35

Lisa when were you due?

KickTheGuru · 24/07/2012 09:38

September! Unless by some strange reason my early August test results come back in the right range... :)

At least I can spend the next month really concentrating on getting the hba1c levels down

kittykatsforever · 24/07/2012 09:39

Thanks girls, determined not to let it ruin my day off, had a cry and just hoping she comes sooner then later now chilling in the garden while dd has a nap, the sun makes me feel so do much better

Sorry about imminent af lisa, red & kitty hope she comes quickly for you (or somehow you get a BFP.

kick at least you know everything is working ok and you just need to get your hba1c down. Fx for Sept, are you definitely not trying in Aug?

Aw sorry Lisa, red and kitty :(

redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 10:28

hug for you kitty I want to say its not over till AF shows up because it still means a sliver of hope.

Lisa I am 16dpo and on a 29-31 day cycle. I am just irritated that the spotting hasn't started. I just want it to show me a sign of arrival now, i'm so angry with my body for giving me false hopes. I don't want to hope anymore for a BFP in case it brings a fresh wave of disappointment. I just want this month to be over so we can start trying again next month.

If no AF for you today lisa does that mean you are late? Fx for a BFP for you.

Yes kick are you not trying in August? or maybe you can try but not try IYSWIM Wink

I doubt my levels will be normal by the 9 August because that's the next appointment. If I am 8.5% or lower by then, I am definitely trying. But not holding my breath.
It's not worth taking the risk any higher than that - I've read a lot of medical reports and they say over 9% jumps the risk of congenital defects by some stupid percent.

8.5% and lower keeps the risk to 3.4% which is almost normal.

Sorry everyone for AF feelings. You can take a test today if you're due today, you know :) It will be fairly reliable

kick I am trying to think of where I can get a cheap test on such short notice.
I only have a Boots, M&S and Sainsbury nearby. Which is a good thing because it stops me from buying a cheap test and peeing early.

Lisa I am going to wait till Friday too... Fx the BFN changes to a BFP

KickTheGuru · 24/07/2012 11:49

All of those have cheap tests...

I have no willpower.

I would go out and get one :)

At least you know either way

redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 13:07

I will try them tonight. On my way back.

redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 13:41

Waiting for AF is torture....tick-tock, tick-tock any min now.

Just while we are on the subject of AF arrivals and something to distract my mind - do any of your AFs announce their arrival with early spotting?

I have checked MN for this and some people call it spotting but its really brown or red tinged CM discharge. Not spotting. I get it every month since I came off the pill. And 2 days after this discharge I normally get full flow AF.

lol yes same here I have been to the loo way too often, every time I feel a wee bit wet down there I am running to check. if there's no AF-like discharge till tomorrow evening, then I'll allow myself to get my hopes up.

I am even sat at my desk unconsciously brushing my arm against my boobs to check if they are still tender. I hope no one at work spots me doing thatBlush

kittykatsforever · 24/07/2012 14:06

Lol I'll take your crazy and up it a notch, I was even checking inside for signs of af like near entrance to cervix to see if I could find any browny or reddish stain in cm, nothing!!!! I've even had rumpy pumpy to encourage her on her way, this is the irritating thing I know I'm not as bfn so where is she hiding, last cycle even though wtf was still right on what I was before, I guess it could still be really messed up but why have I had weird cramps like you'd call period pains for 3 or 4 days then it's stoped but stink nothing!!
I'd like to pretend if was late ov but as the last time we dtd was cd22 I think that would still have shown by no

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 14:38

I'll match you crazy kitty - I have been furkling up there since Monday! No red or brown stains - very close to the opening of the cervix. hahaha im actually glad I'm not the only insane person here.

I have done something stupid this cycle or maybe not. I guessed I OVed around CD12 going by EWCM and app trackers etc. We DTD CD7,9,11,12,13 and 16. So we can catch it. I then bought OV sticks - pack of 7 and tested from CD14-CD20 and they were all negative, which proves I probably OV early on in my cycle. By CD21 I was dry as a barren land. No CM.

So my theory is if the chances of my OVing after CD20 are slim, and negative OPK between CD14-CD20, then it means I must have OVed early on between CD7-16. And we DTD to cover that week and a bit of the next so my chances should be good right? Hmm

This is what I do on my late lunch break. arrgh! I am so going mad looking at my app screen. Need to quit obsessing. By the way if anyone else wants to obsess I am willing to listen, as it looks like I am not going to get distracted from this for a few days.

Grin at the use of the words 'rumpy pumpy'

I like furkling too, let that be our new word like tinkeling!!
Lisa I did the fresh bedding on sat and currently in white bikini!!
Part of me is glad I did the test today as by tomorrow I'd be positive I was pregnant, just looked through old diary as only one cycle to go by recently of 32 days and over a year of tracking cycles ranged from 24-32 only 2 in the 30's and so far I am on 34!! Why!!! I have all these little pots ready to pee in for cm trial and I can't!

OP posts:
kittykatsforever · 24/07/2012 15:08

Oh and I've been furkling since Thursday last week when previous bfn!!

redstrawberry · 24/07/2012 15:42

lol I love rumpy pumpy more. It's going to be by new word for sex or DTD. Can't wait till I ask DH to do some rumpy pumpy Wink

I got white undies too...just waiting for a sign of pink or red or brown stain.

kitty - my cycles are similar to yours, only one 32 day rest are all 29-31 days.
34 is long - i wonder if you indeed implanted late and the HcG is taking its own sweet time to rise. I hope it is! fx
