Re. Ectopic. My friend had one recently. Got a bfp but literally two days later, was in ALOT of pain. She has other issues such as having had to have 3 large cysts removed from.ovaries over the years, and needing ivf to get her DT's.

All in all i think i'm out. But get another go in May due to short cycles.

Brown sludge you say Notta? Do you normally get this pre AF? Do you think you will cave in and test tomorrow or wait til Mon? Sorry, not doing wonders for you for not getting your hopes up, but I am feeling optimistic one of us has to get a BFP soon! Almost up to 1000 messages....
Hurray for carrot sticks and no pudding! Think I need to take a leaf out of your book...
Vic it's just horrid isn't it. I used to do the same in my diary! I would circle 28 days from day1, then I knew when roughly I would be due on so I could get tampons in/not going swimming etc. Did not obsess if I was a day or so out.
Have you mentioned to your Dr how it's making you feel? Do you think counselling would help? I am due to get a letter for a referral this month, I hope it helps as I am really struggling to cope with all this. I read on god damn FB that a friend is 37 weeks and ready to pop. We were both chatting back in Sept when I last saw her about babies, and now she is due any day and I am still sat here. Why am I not 37 weeks also. I went and had a stupid sobbing fit on the bathroom floor after that. Sorry to self-pity but I am just feeling down tonight, think I might just head to bed with a good book.

I had spotting last month ginger but it was different to this. More consistent and not sludgey. Vile stuff.

I won't test no. Fully expect AF to be here tomorrow. I actually have no af symptoms - usually v.low mood and achey hips but also thinking she might be a couple of days late as pos opk was 3 days later than last mpnth.

Sorry to hear you are feeling down too ginger Its awful. I've told this story before but here goes again - in the time since i had my last depo jab, friends partner has his vasectomy reversed, they've got pregnant had a baby and shes due back at work in a few week. :-( I am happy for her and the baby is soooo gorgeous. But I'm jealous.

I had to walk out of boots a couple of weeks ago - idly browsing the clearblue section as you do when a lady with a small baby, tiny - about 2 months old - came and browsed next to me. I looked at her and cried! And legged it. What an idiot.

There are times when i just want to wail ITS NOT FAIR!!! and i think thats perfectly normal and to be expected....isn't it?

Afternoon ladies dp is asleep on my stomach lazy git lol

Did a test this morning to check re ectopic it was bfn so I dunno.

Bleeding quite a bit today bright red not sure whether to count this as af feeling really down about it.

vicky im exactly the same swinging from depressed to obsessed dp gets annoyed with the obsessed lol

Hi ladies! Back from a weekend away which was fab! Have managed to put on 2.5lbs though oops got to get in the same zone as you Notta!!

Hope you're all feeling more cheerful today in the sunshine!

Sorry you're feeling so down ginger, I completely empathise, and felt the same way last week when our close friends announced their pregnancy. Its such a strange feeling as I'm genuinely really really happy for them, but also as you said notta, also jealous, and its really upsetting.

I'm 4dpo and again starting to get mild cramps and feeling 'bubbly' if anyone knows what I mean, which I know means the spotting that I've been getting the past few months is coming in the next couple of days. Dh is back from stag do now so going to make the effort to dtd just for fun later before it kicks in. Its totally shit sometimes and I do wonder if its ever going to happen, but thankful that I'm having the day 21 tests which will hopefully move us on one way or another.

Blue I'd definitely try and see a doc tomorrow about the bleeding if you can, just with it being so early in your cycle for you.

Laura glad you had a good weekend away

Hiya, I've been taking clomid for 3 months but have just had a break for 1 month. I'm normally regular for AF at 26 days but this month I'm now on day 36 and still no show, have taken hpt every other day but they all show bfn. I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up. Just wondering whether it's the break from clomid which is causing the delay. Had a MMC almost 3 years ago and have been trying ever since, had all the tests done but apparently there is no medical reason why we've not conceived, also I have just turned 38 so the clock is ticking. Anyone sat behind me in the boat, lol, that could advise x

Sorry long I can't advise about that.

Well, AF should be here but isn't. Still no real signs but i have had some slightly coloured stuff when i wiped. Very pale. I think that because my positive opk was 3 days later than last month, I will prob get AF wednesday.

'D'H is being a total tosser.

notta rubbish being in limbo! Hope DH gets a bit better...

notta it sucks that you can't kick them in the balls when they are being like that! hope he becomes 'D' again soon!

long sorry I can't help either. have you been temping/opks to confirm ov or dies the clomid mess with being able to do that? maybe you have ov later because of coming off the clomid?

Can't help either long I know nothing about Clomid.

I know how you feel about being kept in af limbo Notta I was there for a whole week last cycle! Hope something happens soon one way or the other!

Hope you had a good anniversary blue and please see a doc if you're still bleeding hun x worried about youuuuuuu!

Woohoo! Another day off work. Forgot to turn my alarm off this morning and got myself all confused! Sorry but I've got to rub this in... 2 days at work this week and then I'm on my holidays! And we will be chilled and happy and doing lots of shagging!

Aagh. Its so annoying. Even though i know af is likely to be late due to later ov. I hope i don't get it for a week like you did vic god you must have been going loopy!

Hope you have a good holiday too.

Crotch watch......

Afternoon ladies,

anniversary was good thanks Vicky bleeding ruined the celebration shagging though poor dp was looking forward to it. and thanks for rubbing it in lol

Still bleeding today but docs are all shut down here do you think the AC could be causing it??

Laura that must have been some weekend away

Long sorry cant help I expect Clomid will be my next step though

Notta how annoying being in limbo

Omg. I might actually go mad.

Every time i go to the loo......nothing!!

If af is going to turn up i wish it would just happen.

Just been rootling around in my supplies and found a test.

Might do it tomorrow if af doesn't turn up. God my heart is racing!!

Please people tell me to calm down. Late ov means late af doesn't it?!

Notta - step away from the test!!!! Crotch watch Hahahaha still gets me every time, it's hilarious! You can do the test tomorrow morning if still no af-you have our blessing :)

Victoria - rub it in! Got to love the run up to a holibobs! Exciting and think of all the stress free relaxation coming up!!

I also have no idea re Clomid Long but I think just keep doing what you're doing poas...awful drawn out anticipation though :(!!

Thanks laura

I'm never late. Well, i think i got af p.m. Instead of a.m. One cycle. Which could still happen today.

I'm so good at not testing early but this is madness. I just want to know.

No symptoms of either af or bfp. Although i have been dosed up on flu plus so that could be masking usual af symptoms i suppose.

Can i have wine tonight??

notta late ov does mean late AF as luetal phase doesn't change. so step away from the test, have a glass of wine, work out when AF is due based on ov date and save the test for when you are late! I'm such a Hippocratic witch...I'd have poas by now haha

do you know what your lp is?

I don't lil as I only started opk last cycle.

Usuly have 25 day cycles. Last time got a positive (CB) cd 8 and had a 24 day cycle. This time, positive cd 11.

So I am guessing that as i got af one day early with a pos on cd8, that i would 'usually' get a pos on cd9.

So cd 11 would be 2 days late so af due today will also be 2 days late? So wednesday.

I've had spotting but its gone now. Nothing today.

I feel siily now. I'm going to be so disappointed.

Ah notta you're killing me, I'm ridiculously excited for you!

However, as lil said late ov should mean late af as lp shouldn't vary, so no testing just yet! Got everything crossed for you that the spotting has been ib!

Thanks imaginary I keep coming on here, as if I'll find the answer......

On a positive note.....H could be described as 'D' again. Almost.....

Whhhhyyyyyy didn't I do opks earlier?!?!?"?

I always get 25 day cycles. But having only done opks in 2 out of 12 cycles, i have no idea what usually happens. Aaagh.

notta expect AF of cd27. don't test until then. what CD are you on now and how many dpo was the spotting. pos opk on cd11 suggest you ov on cd12, last cycle suggest 15 day lp. fx for you.

ps I'm so jealous of your short cycles!

Lol notta did he do something to make up or is he just generally being more 'd'ish?!
