Waiting around 3 days late bfn and awaiting the af so I can get right back on with ttc! I have a monitor to try out and can't start til it comes!! Anyone else waiting the inevitable?

Funny you should say that dildoos, I have been sorting out some of my stories tonight. I like writing children's stuff and have decided that the time has come to submit some to publishers. Don't think I am the next JK Rowling or anything but worth a try to even get some feedback. Nothing will happen with them languishing on my laptop! That said, it's now after midnight and I have moody teenagers to teach tomorrow so goodnight!
(See, didn't even mention AF/BFN. Until now. D'oh!)

Gennz, I am not sure as was not really trying to conceive. I don't think my dates add up though so can't really see me being pregnant. Last AF started on Dec 23rd and was completely normal. I think the only time we could have conceived was 31st. We use withdrawal as contraception (I know it's not reliable) but on that particular night DH didn't pull out. If it wasn't that night then could have been a few others but as I said, DH withdraws. The irony lies in the fact we were going to start trying for DC2 in June! I just wish I knew. Would dearly love to be expecting but if I am not then I want to know what my body thinks it's up to! Fingers crossed for you and know that I am feeling exactly the same way xxx

Still no AF for me. Had some horrible sharp pains low down last night. Now they have gone and there is still no sign at all that AF is around the corner.

CharlieWoo · 28/01/2014 10:11

Groove we also just use withdrawal method.

dildoos · 28/01/2014 16:40

Groove good for you if you need a little person to test them on my daughter loves a good read GrinGrin

Think af is arriving. It's starting with brown stuff again. Today is CD31. I haven't had long cycles since mc. Well, at least this might mean it's starting to sort itself out...finally. Still annoyed, though,...because it would mean I didn't ov when opk said I would. Seems like I need to get the thermometer out of the drawer again...Hmm

Groovster Hope your moody teenagers haven't been too much bother. Mine aren't quite at that age, yet. More hyper than moody. Grin

Groovester · 28/01/2014 19:31

No show yet here either for AF. Exhausted after work and counting down minutes (5...) til DS goes to bed so I can follow him soon after. I did stay up late last night but I normally cope. Today not so much! Also just googled itchy feet and low and behold it could be an unusual symptom of pregnancy. I am determined not to test til Monday again by which time (unless old Flo arrived) I will be 2 weeks late. I know I will cave, especially since my work days are over for the week and I will be at home on my own more.
Sorry to hear Honey :0(
It's hideous isn't it? Meh.

Groovester · 28/01/2014 19:44

Charliewoo, did you have any accidents or was it all withdrawal? I'm pretty sure that my dates don't match up with the night DH didn't withdraw so IF I am pregnant (which is looking unlikely somehow) it has to have been a later time when he did withdraw but perhaps leaked before doing so? I'm going to stop googling (ha! As if!) and try to chill out! X

Gennz · 28/01/2014 21:03

Groove I have been googling like a maniac! 5 days late and still no AF and BFN. I think I am probably preggers though. Have run out of tests (luckily, I did 4 yesterday Blush) and am going to try to wait til Saturday to do another.

To be honest I wouldn't mind if AF DID arrive, at least could have a bottle glass of wine.

CharlieWoo · 28/01/2014 21:15

Couple of accidents but I thought we were past ov so it would be ok. I honestly don't feel like I am. I feel like AF will show any minute now, more brown stuff and cramps but it comes in waves. Ive had this for a week now and really just want to know either way. Really want to test again but will try and hold off for now.

Groovester · 28/01/2014 22:04

I failed! Not one but two BFNs. Felt the need to do 2 at same time as they were different brands. One BFN. One inconclusive BFN. I am now on cd 36. Also hidden used tests from DH who is complaining about wasting money. Would be different if his body was suddenly going a bit weird! No more in house now although due a delivery of the cheapy amazon ones tomorrow or the next day.
Symptoms ( on and off for about 2 and a half weeks):

loose bowel movements every day (normally I only go a few times a week. TMI!)
Heavy boobs and nips that pop up to say hello if I even think of them.
Lots of clear CM
About 8 days of ridiculous crying at ridiculous things.
Cramps in tummy (something I don't really suffer from)
Sore lower back (where I do get my menstrual pain normally)
Feeling fatter (but could be down to Christmas excess if I'm honest)
A one wipe, blink and you'd miss it AF (as opposed to my normal 5 day period)
Itchy soles of feet (seriously!)
Stiff neck (yes, really)
Excessive snoring according to DH.
Aware of some smells more than usual (but is it in my head?)
Getting the book whilst brushing my teeth (twice)
Being more thirsty than usual.
Increased horn (down girl!)

Not excessively tired and not peeing all of the time although a few weeks ago I had to get up through the night for about 4 days in a row to pee which was odd.

TMI? Yes but I know you all understand!

I blame my lapse on the moody teenagers Thats - don't get me started on 13 year olds!

Desperately want a big fat g+t but abstaining just in case. Gennz I hear you! Let's make a pact - NO poas til Saturday ?

Charlie keep us posted my lovely.

Vic and Bob just come on bbc2 so I'm away to chortle!

Gennz · 29/01/2014 03:44

Groove you sound knocked up! Done deal, no poas til saturday (glad I've run out or there's no way I could keep that promise).

I too am drinking and pissing all the time - including on sticks - have literally pissed away A LOT of money. I'm convinced I'm pregnant - nearly passed out before - it's very hot here but I have never felt faint in my life before & I was quite close to passing out.

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 09:06

16 DPO for me today and still no AF. Still little bit of brown discharge when I go to the loo. But not enough to ever reach my underwear. Had horrible cramps again last night, like I was on the verge of AF but it came to nothing again. I'm going to try and resist peeing on a stick until the weekend as well. I just don't want to spend money for it to be a BFN again. Boobs are still very painful but apart from that I feel fine at the moment. What is going on?!?

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 09:08

Oh today is a whole week since the spotting started :(

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 12:30

Bfn again! Safe to say at 16dpo I'm not pregnant. Have booked a doctors appointment as my periods are going mad lately. Earliest appointment I could get is 12th February!! So I'm still stuck not knowing what is going on!!

dreamlullaby · 29/01/2014 13:56

Hi Charlie
Hope your well
I'm in more or less the same predicament as you
Last period 3rd jan well wasn't really a period light bleeding followed by brown watery stuff then thrust
I have a ache back cramps flu symptoms
Just over all carnt be bothered with my self due af on Friday call the docs as test say negative they said I was testing too early try again sat or sun if nothing then I have to call them Monday , I'm worn out now and could easily have a bottle of wine lol it's the not knowing that's annoying

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 14:46

Its frustrating isn't it. I'm feeling down now. Keep thinking if I'm not pregnant with all this spotting and missed period then something is wrong.
I'm with you on the wine!

dreamlullaby · 29/01/2014 14:57

Yeah I keep thinking some think must be wrong with me but doctors just fob everyone off , just hope I get an answer soon been waiting too long now if we knew our mind would be at rest , no doubt when I'm home my husband will have a test waiting lol x

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 15:03

I've still got a spare test sat in the cupboard but as its negative today ill try and wait until the weekend to use it. I hope AF has turned up by then to put me out of this misery! Good luck if your DH has a stick!

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 15:57

AF HAS ARRIVED!! Never have I ever been more relieved to see her! End to the limbo! Still going to keep my GP appointment though as I don't think all the spotting for a week beforehand is normal.
On the other hand it has made me realise how much I maybe do want a bfp!

dreamlullaby · 29/01/2014 16:01

How long you been waiting for af Charlie ?
I'm 4 weeks now x

CharlieWoo · 29/01/2014 16:39

Oh wow! I couldn't have done 4 weeks! I really hope you get an answer soon!
I'm only a few days late,but what got me confused was the fact I had brown discharge starting last week that has lasted through to today. I wasn't sure what was going on. I thought maybe I had timed ovulation wrong or missed it completely as well.

dreamlullaby · 29/01/2014 17:40

I know I'm sick now lol docs Monday so a long weekend for me x happy feb to try Charlie for you , I'm hoping I am carnt wait really excited xx
