All these confusing symptoms really suck. I still have no sign of AF - now 9 days late! But BFN again yesterday. Starting to get a bit annoyed.... and a bit worried to be honest. I'm now to the stage that I am desperate for AF to appear so that DH and I can start again with cycle 2!

Hope you are all going to have a super weekend though

woody17 · 18/10/2012 16:48

waves which tests have you been using?

LexiLoganberry · 18/10/2012 19:12

Just popping aboard to let you know that a nurse from my doctors practice called today to ask me to go in for a blood test tomorrow, it's in regards to no show from AF, I have been bleeding more today but not yet in full flow sorry tmi, said this to nurse and they said they'd still like to check bloods.

waves Sorry you still don't know whats going on this cycle.

laptopgirl I wouldn't count yourself out with a early hpt as they don't always give a positive even if you are when you do them early. When is bfp due?

fx dexi

littlepinkfizz · 18/10/2012 21:21

Glad your getting things sorted out lexi
Still on the November bus but lurking on this bus to hear your news. Hope no one minds x Grin

Laptopgirl · 18/10/2012 21:49

Good luck with bloods lexi hope it gets some answers. AF due sat, but I sense her putting her appearance in early as she is playing with me atm!

woody17 · 18/10/2012 23:20

lexi I hope that you get some answers from the blood tests

woody17 · 18/10/2012 23:21

laptop I hope that af doesn't arrive!

nannyl · 19/10/2012 07:24

good luck laptop!

Hai1988 · 19/10/2012 07:39

Morning ladies how are we all this morning :),

wavesandsmiles · 19/10/2012 09:15

lexi hope you get some helpful answers from the blood tests.

woody I have been using the super cheap tests (£4 for 25) off Amazon. Still no sign at all of AF, and trying to ignore this for the weekend so i can enjoy my break in London.

On Monday, if there is no sign still, I shall get a "real" test.

Trying to ignore it all for the next couple of days and just enjoy a child-free, pet-free weekend!!!

woody17 · 19/10/2012 09:54

Hi hai - still nauseous and sore boobs here! How are you feeling?

waves that sounds like a good plan. Hope you have a lovely weekend in London.

It will be interesting to see what the blood tests shows but tbh I'm not letting myself get to hung up on it as I really want to concentrate on the next cycle, I'm still bleeding and think I'm just going to have a lighter AF than normal.

Enjoy your weekend waves fx for a BFP on monday.

sazzababs · 19/10/2012 11:59

Hey Ladies! Not been around much as I'm back at work after 2 months off :/ I ended up having 2 (!) AF in Sept, so I'm just hanging on to October by a thread... No symptoms, well, there have been, but have to admit its mostly wishful thinking! MC seems to really mess with you doesn't it?? Due AF today and no cramps/any signs, but have a big duuuurty BFN also... I'll either start or be a POAS addict for the next week XD
Hope everyone is well and mucho congrats to all the BFPs :D

Hai1988 · 19/10/2012 12:14

Well that all sounds promising woody loves the fact that this is the only forum were feeling like crap is a good thing :)

Dunno about me ppl think im crazy cus i have a werid "feeling" dunno what it is but all these months of trying i have never felt like this, its hard to explain but its like my my tummy is constsntly full even tho im hungry all the time.

I just new with ds and although and cant really remeber what that feeling was i dunno i am starting to think maybe this was it.

Then again i could be attually going crazy Blush

FloJo151 · 19/10/2012 16:10

Next stop please, am off the bus Sad. AF arrived last night in full force and have bad cramps today.
didnt really have any af symptoms leading up which i normally do which had made me get my hopes up along with all the 'symptom' spotting, ( weeing more often, sore boobs/nipples, lightheadedness(thats been happening for a while actually before we started ttcing)) so poas wed morn but was -ive.

do other peoples AF cramps feel like its their bladder thats hurting?

am gonna have a break for a bit as in process of trying to move (have sold house and waiting for an offer to be accepted!)
will need to go back on pill though as have endometriosis and pill helps to keep AF lighter and with less painSad and can feel this months pains are more painful than the last 3 (inc the mc/cp i must have had at some point over aug!)

Will prob rejoin ttcing after the new year sometime when we're settled in new house. Good luck to all those still waiting for BFP's.

Hai1988 · 19/10/2012 17:18

Sorry.to hear that flo :(

Sorry.to hear that flo :(

Laptopgirl · 19/10/2012 21:31

Flojo if you would consider alternative, have a look at Agnus Castus (available at holland and barrett) and other health food shops!

This would help with your cycle, save you using contraceptive for a few months! Google would be your friend to do some research yourself.

Sorry to hear your off this bus thou xx

Dexidoo · 20/10/2012 09:59

Hi all

My optimism is steadily wearing off Sad spotting has continued, not even enough to wear a pad but now a bit crampy. Tested this morning 11dpo and BFN

I'm off to do some reading on supplements to try something new. Getting a bit fed up now started TTC March, got pg in May but mc June and it's now nearly Nov. Sad

Hai1988 · 20/10/2012 11:58

Hey ladies how are we all today?

Sorry to hear your optimisom has gone dexi fx crossed for you tho

Well for me today has just got very fustrating although i cud only been about 1and a bit weeks pg if i am i feel weridly pg so this morning i poas but forgot to check it before i went out :o

Came bk an hour later and there is a ever so faintest of faint lines in the test box!! But dont no how valid the result is as.i looked after an hour??

I used a ultra early internet cheapy midstream test is was red ink one.

So was this a bfp or not?? I will test again 2moro with fmu to see and make sure i check it after 5mins not an hour.

weechops · 20/10/2012 12:25

flo really sorry af got you

dexi sorry you feel poo. Try and hold that chin up, you will get there.

I have no idea what's happened this cycle! On cd19 now of ususally 28/29 day cycle and no smiley has appeared on opk :( So unless I missed the surge somehow it looks like i didn't ov. Or maybe I got dodgy sticks this time and they didn't work :)

Hai1988 · 20/10/2012 12:32

Hey wee it is very easy to miss the surge, so chances are you have oved but just missed the serge
