Thanks pinkfizz sorry AF got you, I had really sore boobs and with AF being late I've been hoping it's going to turn out well.

Your right all I can do is wait, I'm feeling really childish, want to stomp my feet and shout it's not fair.

chookford · 15/10/2012 11:09

Lexi this is one of those really annoying times when it could be either af making a slow apperance of it could be signs of implantation... how many days late are you now? Do you have any other syptoms apart from the cramping (again this annoying syptom could be for either!)

as much as it sucks the only thing you can really do is wait a few more days/ a week and then re-test with the same brand (pink dye) and hopefully the extra few days will give you a definative yes or no.. I know that doesnt really help but there isnt much more advice I can offer at this stage sorry! But I do agree with your hubby dont test every morning it will only make you more stressed.. I would leave it a good few days and if no signs of af arriving by then it may very well be it was implantation... try to take your mind of of it as much as you can (I know that is easier said than done!) but worrying and stressing will not change the outcome so give yourself a break and try to relax!

And dont worry your not the only one who wants to scream and stamp their feet, sure every lady on here has felt that at one point!

Thanks chookford Only other symptom really is sore boobs, I do get sore boobs in my normal cycle but they are more tender than usual but I could again just be trying to convince myself.

AF is 6 days late, 20 days past ovulation which I thought was too late for implantation. Some women seem to get little bleeds at various times when they are pregnant.

You right I need to chill out and just wait it out. Having said that I did phone the doctor's earlier and left a message to ask if they would do a blood test. Sometimes I'm my own worst enemyBlush

wavesandsmiles · 15/10/2012 11:51

Hi everyone - lexi I am also feeling cross at the moment. AF is 6 days late for me as well. I don't "feel" pg, so still resisting testing. Just wish I knew one way or the other to be honest, but preparing myself to hop on the November bus.

wavesandsmiles Haven't you tested at all?

Like the saying goes misery likes company, is that right, well if it is we can keep each other company.

deliasmithy · 15/10/2012 14:13

Hello!
I have been lurking for a couple of weeks, but posted on various threads in the last week.
I've been waiting for AF to join the November bus, but...
Lexi - I stopped pill in 3rd week Sept, and almost since then have had verrrrry sore boobs! Having DTD a few times, I'm now left not knowing if this is my body readjusting to life without pill, or is an actual symptom.
My story is of no help to you whatsoever! I just related to the boobs!
Hope all works out well for you.

wavesandsmiles · 15/10/2012 14:20

Hi again, lexi I tested last week (Wednesday and friday) and was a BFN. I think tomorrow I shall "treat" myself to another test and see what happens.... Kind of worried about being disappointed but will be ready to keep you company

littlepinkfizz · 15/10/2012 16:51

blargl · 15/10/2012 19:04

dexi yep I hear you on the pjs and snoozing, think I need to give dh a rest too!

LexiLoganberry · 15/10/2012 20:11

fx for you waves I spoke to the dr earlier and they have asked me to take in a urine sample and if the result is not clear for them they will do blood tests, I was Quite surprised they didn't just tell me to go away.

Hi Delia bless you and your sore boobs *pinkfizz made me Grin some times we get boob envy. I've had to stop wearing my underwired bras as to uncomfortable.

blargl and dexi* hope your 2ww fly by.

Laptopgirl · 15/10/2012 21:17

Sorry to read about your confusing testing Lexi, what does FRER & FR mean?

nannyl · 15/10/2012 21:32

Will be 5 days late by tomorrow..... no sign of AF and no signs of pg either Confused

littlepinkfizz · 15/10/2012 21:52

laptop first response and first response early response! You'll soon get used to all the abbreviations. Grin

lexi keeping all x for you and , yes, it is indeed a sad state of affairs when a girl ends up envious of sore breasticles!whi'd have thought!!

Gin( to make us sin) anyone??!

MadameJ · 15/10/2012 21:53

I have a sneaky feeling I will be getting off this bus at the next stop as I think AF will be here tomorrow Sad

deliasmithy · 15/10/2012 22:56

After getting egged on by a work colleague I'm armed with 4 FrEr tests (half price!) This is why I need somewhere like MN, to avoid telling others.

I'm loving the word breasticles! I feel like I forgot to wear a bra whilst doing a marathon.

Littlepinkfizz I'm sorry AF came.

Dexidoo · 16/10/2012 06:35

delia where are FRER half price? I might be planning an early POAS this weekend!

Grannyapple · 16/10/2012 07:32

Morning ladies...was tentatively joining you but I'm now moving to the November bus...on the plus side, my cycle seems to be back to normal.

lexi fx for you

deliasmithy · 16/10/2012 08:21

Dexidoo - my local superdrug

Negative for me, ah well, I just hope I get an AF asap so I can start again!

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 09:33

Thanks granny I've taken my urine sample to the doctors but can't get the result till tomorrow.

I did do a test myself this morning and there was a very faint line, AF now 7 days late, so I do feel the line should be getting darker as the hcg increases. I shall wait and see and try not to think about it too much.

delia love your description of breasticlesGrin

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 09:34

Delia sorry you got a negative, is AF overdue for you.

LexiLoganberry · 16/10/2012 09:39

laptopgirl sorry I didn't see your post at first.

FRER is first responce early result
FR one step is another test from there range which isn't as sensitive as the early result test.

nanny sounds like you have a similar situation to me.

wavesandsmiles · 16/10/2012 09:39

Morning all. Well, I used one of my super cheap internet sticks this morning, and not a hint of a line. Grrrr. I am now just wishing that AF would arrive and put me out of my misery. Or, of course, that I would get a +tive results. However, I really don't feel like I have any pg symptoms at all, so just playing the waiting game.

On the plus side, our new house is a little less disorganised, and more unpacked now, so hopefully we can spend more time next month having some more tries at this!
