Ive slept all day today..just woke up feeling really sick. id think this was a massive symptom if I hadn't for a bfn earlier today

cowbiscuits · 31/03/2014 17:43

I think you've got to try and wait as long as you can Monkeybubbles!

Christinedonna · 31/03/2014 18:45

Now can't move without thinking I'm gunna throw up..my boobs are really sore aswell

cowbiscuits · 31/03/2014 21:19

Starting to feel a bit bloated and back achey which usually means AF is on her way (if so it would be a short cycle again which makes me worry if I'm having anovulatory cycles). On the other hand maybe I just need a poo!

Christinedonna- sounds exciting, how many days past ovulation? When are you planning to POS?

cowbiscuits · 31/03/2014 21:23

Ah sorry just read what you said about having a bfn today.

cowbiscuits · 31/03/2014 21:26

Plus, I have eaten a massive plate of noodles and drank a huge mug of tea and eaten a yogurt. No wonder I feel bloated.

Christinedonna · 31/03/2014 21:48

I think I'm 10dpo. I really have no idea whether id be getting bfp's by now? Any ideas? It just seems so weird that ive had so many symptoms. I had what I thought was implantation bleeding (it was only when i wiped twice so definitely not af) twinges and cramps in tummy,sides and back. Fatigue,sore boobs and now nausea..plus I'm 4 days late. Is this all massive coincidence and my bfn is correct..or am I ruling myself out too soon? I know no one can tell me but I could really do with as many of your opinions as possible, either way. Thankyou

Christinedonna · 31/03/2014 21:49

Plus white discharge as well

cowbiscuits · 31/03/2014 22:20

Nothing you can do but wait Christine, everyone has different experiences too. Must be really frustrating. Are your periods/cycles usually regular? I wouldn't lose hope yet, some people don't get the bfp till later. it can take 10 days to get implantation, then another few days for enough hormones to build up to get a positive test. I'm sure you'll find out soon and hopefully it'll be good news.

The other problem is, pre-menstrual symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy. When I had DS the thing that made it differnt from every other month was I didn't get any symptoms, not until a least a week after my BFP. And I din't get any nausea until about week 8. On the other hand, if I think about nausea, I start to feel nauseous.

Christinedonna · 31/03/2014 22:29

I am usually relatively regular. But I never have af symptoms..il usually have cramps for a few hours before (if any) and then it'll happen..right on time. I never get sore boobs and ive never had the tiny bit of bright pink blood in my life. I really thought that I was..Its just the bfns that are really making me doubt it now.

bessie84 · 01/04/2014 09:19

Aaaaaarrggghhhhh STUPID body! still no AF and still BFN - WHERE arrrreee yyoooooouuu witchy! no sign of af arriving, only extremely sore boobs.

when theres a definate no chance of a bfp, id like the witch just arrive so we can start afresh, not thing fooooking waiting lark.

cd33 / 18dpo.

I think im broke.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 10:55

Feeling a bit better today,but still nauseous..still no af,now 5 days late. Only time will tell

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/04/2014 11:14

Christine, if you're 11dpo and 5 days late, that'd make your LP 6 days which is incredibly short.

Do you know for definite when you ovulated? Could your cycle be a bit longer this time? The average LP is 14 days. I'm wondering if you're either ovulating earlier than you think or if your period will be later this cycle. Did you use OPKs?

I'm 11dpo and AF is due on 4th April.

kitkat321 · 01/04/2014 12:10

Can I join?

TTC no 1 last year but had 2 early mc's within about 9 weeks.

Got bloods done (all clear), had a wee break from it and then decided last month just to see what happened. I though we'd missed the boat boat but I got my BFP yesterday.

No real symptoms - I have a horrid cold though and keep burping which happened the first time too.

Keeping thinking I feel cramps or back pain but not sure if I'm imagining it - I'm super paranoid that this will end up in mc number 3 but trying to stay hopeful!

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 12:14

I didn't think that was right. Ive got so many numbers and times running through my head that I honestly don't know anymore. All I know is my last af started on 28th February. I should have got it on the 28th of march but nothing. now I'm even more confused

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 12:24

15dpo and 4/5 days late..does that sound more accurate?

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/04/2014 12:37

Christine that'd make it a 10 or 11 day LP which is more accurate. Do you use OPKs? Are you sure you ovulated 15 days ago?

Are your cycles always 28 days? Since coming off the pill I've had a 31 day, a 28 day and a 34 day cycle. Going by ovulation pains over the last few months and this month, using OPKs, I am on a 32 day cycle this time.

If you use OPKs to find out when you ovulate, then you have a period X-number of days later, this is your Luteal Phase which doesn't really change much each month (if at all) so if you ovulated on the 1st of the month, and your period arrived on the 15th, you have a 14 day LP.

What determines the length of your cycle is not what happens after ovulation, but it's the bit before - the follicular phase. So on the month I had a 28 day cycle, this phase was shorter and month I had the 34 day cycle, it was 6 days longer. My LP on both months was 14 days.

This is the reason I now use OPKs - I couldn't tell when I would ovulate as it could have been earlier or later than the previous month.

TTC is a massive thing to get your head round and it all does become quite confusing x

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/04/2014 12:38

Congrats on your BFP kitkat! Wonderful news.

Fingers crossed this one is a sticky xx

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 12:42

I had an early m/c in January so not really got the hang of when period is. Maybe I'm just clutching at straws

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/04/2014 12:52

Nothing wrong with a bit of straw clutching Christine Smile Sorry about your m/c.

If you don't get your BFP this month then definitely invest in some OPKs. Do you know which CDs you DTD this month? If it was regular enough then there's a chance you did it at the right time anyway! Until AF arrives there is every bit of hope that a BFP is around the corner Grin x

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 12:58

Between the 14th-16th of march dtd 5 times. Between the 20th-23rd of march 6 times. Once on the 28th (not that that would do anything)

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/04/2014 13:05

Blimey Grin

I'm shattered just thinking about DTD that much! Grin

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 13:11

haha tell me about it! Just hoping that gives me a fighting chance!

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/04/2014 13:12

Ok so you DTD around days 15-17 and 21-24 of your cycle. That could be timed right, it just does depend on your length of cycle this time.

Can you get an app on your phone to track your periods? I do this - I log my symptoms (if I have any) and when we DTD. It gives me an indication of when I should ovulate based on average cycle length, and when my fertile period is. It's quite a handy tool to be honest.

The wait is horrible though isn't it? I'm utterly convinced that I'm now just waiting for AF to arrive on Friday. Then it'll be on to cycle 4.

Christinedonna · 01/04/2014 13:22

Yeah I think il do that,thanks! I don't feel like af is on its way tbh (probably jinxed it now) had cramps and nausea today and yesterday but I wouldn't say it feels like af. Ive used all my tests so am just going to leave it a while now and hope for the best, It is odd the amount of symptoms I've had and got a bfn though. Implantation (I think),white discharge,twinges and cramps,constipation,late period,nausea,fatigue,bloating, change in eating habits etc..maybe my mind is just playing very cruel jokes on me
