Cycle 24. Day 28.
If this doesn't work I get to ring the clinic and book our iui. We are now top of the list (very grateful for that).
This feels like last chance saloon for natural conception. I was due today.
Nothing.

But...
I am too hot
I have slept like a baby for the past week. Averaging eleven hours a night and still tired.
Am a grumpy Gertie.
I have no sex drive (usually high at end of cycle)
Cramps last week then nothing.

Come share your symptoms and I'll cross my fingers for you. Would love to share some bfp's even if it's not mine.

Don't know if this helps but I'm 6 weeks and my main symptoms were cramps with no blood and being desperate to wee all the time

No excessive peeing here, but early days yet. Keep feelinglike someone is twanging my womb periodically though.

I think I am being overhopefull with my meagre symptoms, maybe TTC has finally driven me crazy.

congratulations Flowers

Thank you Puppy. Sorry to hear you're in the same boat. Fingers crossed very tightly for you. Would love to see some bfp's here, no cramps sounds like a good sign for you.

No, ELR I've been very restrained. I've litterally pissed so much money away on tests I don't bother anymore. I know in my head I'm not, just allowing myself a glimmer of hope and symptom spotting before people starting giving me drugs, rammingthings up me and asking dh to aim into a pot.

The sleeping in my biggest symptom, that and a roaring appetite, I have just scoffed two buttered rolls after dinner! I also have a tmi symptom.... I'm usually, ERM, swollen down below by now. Nada.

I may test on Monday if no AF as I was meant to have rung clinic by now to say AF has started.

I'm due tomorrow and have sore boobs plus no cramps (which is quite unusual). I've also got sharp pains in my left armpit - that's definitely a sure sign. Wink

My main symptom is always insomnia.

Good luck. I hope you can avoid AC.

sheldor · 22/09/2013 07:16

Only symptom i've got is a second bleed.Don't know if that is a good or bad sign though.Stopped my normal af 11 or 12 days ago,had intercourse on the last day of af and 10days later bled for 2days Hmm

sheldor · 22/09/2013 07:34

I think my body is playing nasty tricks on me

Might be an ovulation bleed or an implantation bleed, both are good signs apparently.

I have no control, I bought two tesco brand tests this morning. This usually guarantees AF arrives within hours. May test tomorrow am, if only to update the clinic.....

I've never had it before.It's deff not another af as i suffer quite badly with them due to the cramps and dull aches and know when it will start.This was just stabby pulling pains where ovary is.I DTD 4days before the bleed aswell,so hoping if it is ovulation bleed that i have caught.Oh well only 2weeks to go to see if i miss af or not.
i know what you mean with the the tests and af.That happened to me quite a few times when trying for my 1st.11months of dissapointment and heartache

Fingers crossed for you Sheldor.

Cramping is now easing off and I'm a lot less grumpy. I am now ridiculously hopeful as if the last 24 months never happened.

Me too.Starting to think it's ovarian cancer.I really shouldn't google symptoms Argh! Lost two people close to me at the ages of 58 and 16 from cancer.So starting to worry a bit.I had a smear a few years back and they said my cervix looked inflamed.I didn't really push to see anyone at at the time.I was supposed to have a call from the hospital.Sorry for your bfn Tuon
How long have being trying?

cookielove · 23/09/2013 09:11
