Anyone else still waiting?

Just wondering if anyone else is still in limbo?! Now on CD35, no sign of AF, bfn on test (I think, hard to wonder if I imagine these shadows of lines on the ICs). Loads of symptoms but don't want to let myself get excited in case AF shows and it's all in my head. Anyone else in the same situation?

Hi everyone, joining in if that's okay!
I'm in limbo. First month TTC this month. Last period 9th September, usually 30 day cycle. I've done about 15 tests, all negative. Went to doctor today and they just said to wait it out, and that my period was prob delayed because I was "overthinking" it. So maddening! Just need to know either way!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 15/10/2014 19:33

I can sympathise! Am in same situaton - late AF but bfn - just did a test and I think I see a faint faint line but might also be imagining things!!

A faint line sounds promising @MaGratgarlik1983 - have you done another to double check?

R0ckCh1c · 16/10/2014 09:35

MaGrat - when was your AF due & when did your test start showing faint line? Fingers crossed you!!!

EmzLou23 · 16/10/2014 12:06

Omg Katie My Last Period Was The 9th Of September too!! I usually have a 28/31 day cycle. My period on the 9th lasted a few hours which is strange as it normally lasts 4/5 days. Im now 6 days late and im not sure weather sypmtoms are in my head as iv had 4 BFN now!! Fx to everyone.

KatieLola · 16/10/2014 12:43

Oh Emz, it's so frustrating isn't it! How long have you been TTC for? It's my first month, so wasn't expecting anything... so don't think I would have mentally stopped my period from coming, from overthinking it. My cycles same length as you, so am around 7 days late too, and am never late! Grr!

EmzLou23 · 16/10/2014 13:24

Katie we have been trying for 3 months now. Came off the pill 4 months ago and i understand periods can take a while to get back into routine but iv had 3 normal periods since i stopped the pill. It's sooooo frustrating! Just need a sign from somewhere if im pregnant or AF will show, can't wait any more! I might just believe the BFN and forget about it all?!!!

KatieLola · 16/10/2014 13:32

And what are you doing in the mean time? Doctor said I should be carrying on doing the deed three times a week, but hard when no AF... definitely want to know either way before I crack on again!

EmzLou23 · 16/10/2014 13:59

Well we are still doing the dead 2/3 a week. It's hard now as my OH works days and i work nights. Iv not been to the docs yet as im going to wait till im over a week late. Iv just also downloaded another track your period app and with my info it says im due tomorrow the 17th of oct. Now the other app Ovia which i have doesnt say this. Im soooo confused! Maybe i ovulated late do my period will be late?

R0ckCh1c · 16/10/2014 17:26

AF has just arrived Sad But trying to think positive & hoping that means my body is back to normal now. Been off the pill since April & as my cycles have gone 32, 64, 43 to 30 days... My next fertility week is due the week I'm off work... So will be DTD every other day that week! I've been using the pink pad app & will use ovulation strips again this month to try & see when ovulating.

KatieLola · 16/10/2014 17:54

64 days R0ckCh1c??? That must have been so stressful. At least you know either way now, and you can focus on this month. Hope you're back to the 30 cycle this time :)

EmzLou23 · 16/10/2014 18:12

64 days Rockchic??? Waaww im struggling with a 37 day!!! Im having realllllyyyy bad cramps right now, just like AF cramps but worse! I think im gona jump off this months BFP bus soon if i come on "/! I reckon it will be tomorrow!! Dam!

R0ckCh1c · 16/10/2014 19:09

Thanks Katie & Emz... The loooong cycles were really stressful & made me worry that something was wrong with me... But after being on this forum it made me feel better & realise I wasn't alone! Not knowing when I was ovulating or when AF was due drove me crazy the most... So if your AF's done arrive on time, annoying as it is, I would not worry as might be your body adjusting coming off BC. I am hoping to fall preggers before Xmas... So fingers crossed!!

Emz it sounds like AF might be on the way soon, the horrid red witch!!

Sending magic baby dust both your way Smile

R0ckCh1c · 16/10/2014 19:09

*Don't arrive on time (not done)

MaGratgarlik1983 · 16/10/2014 21:59

Ah sorry Rockchic that AF arrived but at least now you can concentrate on the next try! I'm on CD 42!

MaGrat - Let's hope your faint positive line becomes stronger!! Grin

Have a good day everyone & a lovely weekend! Wine xx

EmzLou23 · 17/10/2014 23:13

So im 7 days late with no sign of AF but horrendus cramping and a 'weird' feeling in my boobs. Might all be in my head!! 7 days late tho?? Im NEVER that late! Has anyone got their BFP yet??

R0ckCh1c · 15/11/2014 11:00

Any good news from anyone yet? I was really hoping I'd be lucky this month as my last cycle actually came on time (CD30)... Been DTD every other day too... But AF due today & although no sign of her, done a test but BFN... The tests I have are meant to pick up really early & detect low levels, so know test is correct. Am starting to feel like it's never going to happen. Wish I came off pill earlier than April ... If only I'd have known it would take so long! Sorry for the low self pity, just wanted to fall preg before Xmas but can't see any hope of that Sad

MaGratgarlik1983 · 16/11/2014 18:59

Hi ladies! Well I had a 61 day cycle in the end and AF came finally on Nov 6th!! Think it was my WTF cycle following a CP in early September. So we're having another go this month and then if it doesn't happen we'll have a break for Christmas then crack on again in the New Year.
Being careful this month to pinpoint ovulation and to stop DTD if I don't ovulate by early next week as I don't want to be in limbo over Christmas!
