When the first terminates halfway on your route, jump on here for the final destination!

:( Yorkshire

I have no desire to POAS early. It seems that I am a weirdo. I think it's because I'm fully expecting AF to turn up, as she does every month. So I'll test the day after she's due (27th) and not before.

Franykins · 22/03/2013 14:24

Sorry she got you Yorkshire Sad

I' with you *TobyLerone] I'm convinced AF is gonna turn up so don't want to POAS yet. I was due AF yesterday but am gonna wait till Sunday/Monday before testing. I know I will be so upset (even though it's only cycle two since coming off the pill) but I so desperately want a child. Still have no symptoms of either other than moody and headaches. No sore boobs or cramping that I normally get before AF.

Penny31 · 22/03/2013 15:25

STILL nothing! This is very unusual for me. How long would you leave things before going to the doctors? :(

TobyLerone · 22/03/2013 15:31

How long is it now, Penny?

Penny31 · 22/03/2013 15:39

6 days.....

TakingTheStairs · 22/03/2013 15:45

I was a week late last month Penny I called the doc at 5 days late and she said that if the test said bfn, her blood test would be only as sensitive as that so early.
She said to leave it another week and if nothing happening by then, then to call her again. But AF arrived 2 days after that.

TobyLerone · 22/03/2013 15:46

Hmmm. Sometimes my period is up to a week late for absolutely no reason. It's really annoying, but I think you might have to wait it out. Maybe make an appointment if there's nothing by the end of next week.

Wardy17 · 22/03/2013 15:49

I was 19 days late last cycle Penny and my doc wouldn't see me until AF was at least 2 weeks late. He then sent me for blood tests to check for PCOS and thyroid probs. if your worried call you doc and see if you can have a chat over the phone.

Wardy17 · 22/03/2013 15:50

Sorry just read that back and sounds very neg, sorry. I'm sure everything is fine maybe you ovulated late? X

Penny31 · 22/03/2013 18:03

I will hang on a bit longer then. It's just so unusual for me to be this late and it's typical that my body starts to do this the first month I start trying to conceive!

I am stinging a little bit down below which is sometimes a symptom of Afs imminent arrival so maybe I'm worrying over nothing.....

QuietNinjaTardis · 22/03/2013 18:10

Have you recently come off birth control penny? That might have messed your cycles up a bit.

Penny31 · 22/03/2013 18:15

I came off it 12 months ago.....

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 22/03/2013 18:41

Thanks guys. Feeling a bit less miserable now. It's always a bit grim when she first hits.

BabyFaker have been to the docs, done first round of tests for me and DH, will be back in a couple of weeks for results. Not eligible for fertility treatment as we already have a DD (for which I am very grateful), but should get a referral for investigations.

Hoping that we'll get lucky in April and won't need any more tests. That's what phappened when we were TTC DD. Smile

QuietNinjaTardis · 23/03/2013 08:54

Oh I've got no idea then, sorry! I do know that this ttc lark messes with your mind and body

gilly86 · 23/03/2013 10:58

Pretty sure I'm out... CD29 today. AF due tomorrow/Monday and bbt has dipped right down today.

No AF yet but 99.9% sure the witch will have arrived by this time tomorrow Sad

LadyMedea · 23/03/2013 11:19

Marginally freaked out. AF due on Monday but none of my normal signs yet - spotting up to a week before, and bleeding on a bowel movement (sorry TMI, I'm assuming squeezing one out also squeezes the uterus a bit). Boobs hurt but can get that with AF.

DH has banned me from POAS until after AF is due. This is our first cycle and first baby so would be very freaky to get pregnant after just twice dtd with no condom. Was potentially the right time (not doing temp or OPK yet just calendar).

Eek!

BabyFaker · 23/03/2013 12:26

Good luck Yorkshire x

Is anyone considering dropping out for Dec and Jan? If I conceived this next month my due date would be Xmas day! And I'd always said I would try not to give my kids Xmas or January birthdays as everyone I know who has them hates it! I've only been trying 3 months though and maybe I could spend the next couple of months trying to lose a bit of weight and taking my B6 to try and lengthen my luteal phase

Just thinking out loud really ...

I just can't believe it Grin

Putting all my concentration into willing this bean to stick!!

BabyFaker · 23/03/2013 13:08

Congratulations Dasie! Fx for you that it's a sticky bean Smile How many cycles of trying did it take? How many times did you DTD this month? I need details ! Wink

gilly86 · 23/03/2013 13:20

Awwwww congratulations dasie Smile
Yes.....Details please!

When did you O and when did you dtd?!

Dasie · 23/03/2013 13:28

Thanks BabyF and Gilly,

Its a little embarassing really Blush Came off the mini pill on 1st Feb, didn't try 1st cycle after that then had a +ve OPK on day 13 of this cycle (second after coming off pill), had only DTD on CD10 and CD12 as DP and I are only together at weekends currently!!

I still don't believe it TBH think I'm gonna be POAS every 12 hours for the next few days!!!!

Smile
gilly86 · 23/03/2013 13:41

Wow don't be embarrassed that's great!!!!!! Fingers crossed for you everything will be fine! You must be so excited Smile
Hopefully we'll see you on antenatal forums soon! Wink

Congrats dasie.
Ds is a dec baby and if I got pregnant this month then this one would be due about a week before his birthday. But no chance I'm stopping ttc. Been trying too long already. Ds will be 4 when the next ones born. Sad

TobyLerone · 23/03/2013 16:22

Congrats Dasie!
