I hope nobody else has started a May conception thread; April isn't going to be it for me, so onwards and forwards ladies!

Yes wannaBe...tell them exactly what you want. Hopefully you'll see that same doctor so that you don't have to go through the history again?
Maybe she'll do more for you as well after saying that she'd eat her hat?

wannaBe1974 · 07/05/2006 13:17

well I'm still a realist, as I've had nothing but bfn's I don't think that any pregnancy, if one existed, is viable, but something is definitely wrong and I need to know what.

coggy · 07/05/2006 13:23

I agree WannaBe...you need to get sorted out whatever way things turn out.
Honestly, if wishes could be....you would def. be pg with all of us desperate for you to be.
You are sensible to consider the bfn's but there is always a little hope eh?

trace2 · 07/05/2006 13:33

hi, wannbe i hope it has stopped, i remember you saying you bleed with ds so good luck, and tell them you need a scan, asap to know where you are. pussycat you still around??

trace2 · 07/05/2006 17:23

anyone around?

decafgirl · 07/05/2006 18:27

Hello?

pussycatmomma · 07/05/2006 18:32

hi decaf and trace, am around for a min. How are you decafgirl? dont see you around much, hows your ttc going honey? whats the latest on you?

decafgirl · 07/05/2006 18:46

I'm doing ok thanks! I'm on day 12 of my 2 week wait and it's killing me (and poor demented dh!). I just want to know one way or the other. I was out with the girls from work last night and they were desperate for me to drink but I made up some lame ass excuse and stayed sober just on the off chance!

How's things with you?

pussycatmomma · 07/05/2006 21:20

am also waiting, but feel like af might be immenent tbh. have v.v sore boobs and for past few days have been wondering "am i pg" is it a sign, but (sorry,tmi) have just been to wee, and looked like pinky cm when i wiped. So af will prob appear in a few days i imagine. Feel really disappointed, really thought this could be my month. Oh well, onwards and upwards as they say! Good luck to you this month decafgirl x x

decafgirl · 08/05/2006 08:35

Hmmm, think I might be coming on too... ugh, this is horrible. No real signs as yet except I feel a bit crampy this morning. Not going to give up yet though.
PCM hang on in there with me - you never know it could be a sign of implantation -0 fingers crossed xxx

trace2 · 08/05/2006 08:53

sorry i missed yoy too, sounds looking good putcat, you dont get sore boobs with af due , do you,

keep my fingers crossed for you both

Celou · 08/05/2006 10:11

The pressure's on girls. What would you do in my shoes? I'm on cd35 today, I've got sore nipples (which I only ever got when pg with dd), heartburn and nausea every day at about 5pm especially when hungry, quite a lot of normal couloured cm, and I had period type pains on wednesday but no af. The thing is I did a first response test last monday, and it was negative. Surely it would have been positive as you can test a few days before your period is due.
In a way I'm convinced I'm pg but the other way I'm terrified of doing a test in case it's negative. What do I do?
Sad

wannaBe1974 · 08/05/2006 10:40

Celou if you did a test last monday then you were on cd27 then? Although the tests claim that they are accurate several days before af is due, I think the reality is actually far from it, and generally tests are accurate from a couple of days after your af is due. I would do another test, you've got nothing to lose apart from the cost of the test, if it's bfnthen you can consider yourself potentially not pg, but a bfn befoe af is due is by no means indicative of no pregnancy imo. good luck

TuttiFrutti · 08/05/2006 13:36

Test again in a day or so Celou. Those early pgy tests are often wrong - I did one last time and was gutted when it was a BFN, but 2 days later it was a BFP!

Am on CD21 now, but not optimistic as dh was away for 5 days at the crucial time this month. I should have totally written off this month, but there's a little glimmer of hope lurking... I just know that I won't be able to resist doing a test in a week's time.

Celou · 08/05/2006 13:40

Thanks Wannabe for your advice. You're right about those so called "early response" tests, I've read something about it and they may not be as accurate as they like to claim.
More to the point. I followed your advice: BFN. Sad
I just don't understand it. Do you think I might be having a phantom pregnancy? I know your mind can play tricks on you to make you "imagine" simptoms but this is just ridiculous. If I'm not pg what's wrong with me?

Celou · 08/05/2006 13:43

sorry tuttifrutti I've just missed your post. Thanks, and you'll hopefully have more luck than me this month Smile

TidyJane · 08/05/2006 13:48

Guys it's me again (Celou) I've changed my name.

maazaa · 08/05/2006 19:34

Hey Guys - anyone around? Been offline for few days - Take That were wicked, Flowertot, thanks for asking!!! Really good concert, even if you weren't a mad Take That fan! Am knackered though!

So am on day 21 and still got crazy PMT symptoms. Tummy bloated, boobs saw and painful spots on chin. I had a cup of tea at 7am and an inch of coke all day, yet went for a wee 4 times, when usually I don't go at all and end up with cystitis! But, like you Tidy/Celou, I am probably imagining it!!! Not feeling mad angry like I was last week, so at least that's a relief!

Apparently those first response tests are only accurate 4 days before AF in 60% or so of women. And that is only if you have a high level of hormone.

Wannabe - I am so so sorry that things are not going well for you. I admire your philosophical attitude, you are obviously such a fab person. I hope it all gets sorted.

Congratulations, Skerriesmum! Wonderful news!!! How is everyone else?

flowertot · 08/05/2006 19:53

How long is your cycle normally Maaza? When can you get testing? Very exciting. Did you bd over the right times?? We missed it this month but its such a pain to hang around waiting for dear old AF so you can start again. However much you try not to think of times and dates its pretty impossible

maazaa · 08/05/2006 20:00

Well, I have no idea on my length of cycle as I have been on the pill (albeit for 2 weeks after a 7 month break). I think it's usually around 21-28 days, so to be late I would have to wait at least a week. Don't "feel" pg, just pre-menstrual. We bd'd every other day between day 6 and day 14 or so and then haven't since as we've been too tired (and i felt so PMTish). As it's our first month of ttc, there isn't too much pressure at the mo. Where are you up to?

flowertot · 09/05/2006 06:50

I got pregnant with DD1 the minute I came off the pill. Its very common apparently so fingers crossed! Were you trying in the 7 months you were off before?
I have very odd feelings here. There is absolutely no reason I should be pregnant, but somehow I feel it. I am not getting my hopes up because on paper it is unlikely. Will be interesting to see though.....

Debbsy · 09/05/2006 07:54

wannabe how did you get on at the drs ?

decafgirl · 09/05/2006 08:03

Hi guys, AF arrived this morning so I'll be off to the June thread!

Trying to be philosophical about it but am obv. a little disappointed. Never mind - there's always next month. Good luck to everyone who's still in the running for May.

trace2 · 09/05/2006 08:39
