Anyone else still waiting?

[MaGratgarlik1983]

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?

And I was on the pill!

Oh thank gawd I found you girls..... I thought I was the only one going mental in this whole friggin journey.

I have no idea what half the letters you're typing actually mean so its been fun finding this post and trying to work out what the bejeebus is going on but I think I'm there - and you should all be honoured; this is my first ever post - HURRAH.

So I'm staying to imagine symptoms I'm sure of it but I have erratic cycles since coming off the pill in Jan, (you'll need to excuse my ignorance in jargon here) and so far my cycles have been 21 days, 33 days, 39 days, 36 days and last month 41 days. I swear my ovaries hate me.

I'm on day 38 now and have convinced myself that not only am I pregnant, but my imaginary child will be announced when I travel the 300 miles to see my inlaws at the weekend. Unfortunately the preg tests and I disagree with another negative this morning.

IT AINT OVER TILL THE EGG ESCAPES!

Welcome impatiencepersonified

You're in great company here, we have not the slightest idea what's going on with us either! :)

Hope you brought cake!!

Im in the exact same boat! im on CD35, tested on CD33 with BFN and had pink spotting this morning - is that period, or IB? :S

Hah!

There was cakes but I threw them on the floor and am currently rolling around in them. I heard somewhere in the deepest darkest rainforest that rolling in swiss rolls can increase your fertility and at this point will give anything a shout.

I really do hate waiting...

Welcome impatience!

Fingers crossed you get bfp 300 miles away.

My update is no news and am now on cd 63.
Took today off work as I'm exausted still and it's not getting any better. I slept until noon after going to sleep at 10:30 the night before.
I've got a bit of a runny nose and constipated so think I'm just coming down with something.
Getting really angry at my body as I hardly fit into my clothes without rediculous muffin tops and was hoping to blame it on pregnancy.

It just seems that I'm getting fat on my own doing though.

Finding it hard to stay positive.

I've never been skinny but I life to at least stay a size 12/14 and I'm struggling.
I'm
Only short too so it doesn't sit well

Thanks a squillion... well CD 39 in the big baby house and still no show of AF. I have more symptoms than a hypochondriac at a plague party and absolutely no signs that AF is about to make an appearance but determined not to do a test today - yesterday was a BFN so I can't see it changing overnight (or can it?). Plus I made sure my FMU was flushed away... no temptation and no option but to wait till tomorrow.
GAHHHH
Beaver you sound exhausted lovely lady, try and get some rest xx

Morning ladies :)

Thanks to you impatience I'm stocking up on Swiss rolls. allyourfault
Good for you flushing the fmu away! I have deliberately not bought any tests, if I don't have them I can pee on them. I will buy one next week though.

beaver sounds like something's going on for you hun :( CD63? That's bloody crazy! Hope something conclusive happens soon so you can move forward.

I said I wasn't coming back to conception boards after my dh's u-turn, but I can't stay away. I'm starting to crazily believe I might be pregnant. I'm not even a week past ovulation so I'm obviously delusional. don't care

Symptoms for today, cd42.

• no af

• increased creamy cervical fluid. I mean loads, I'm flooding...

• nausea, no sickness but really thought I was going to chuck up multiple times yesterday and this morning.

• hot flushes/chills. Seriously, I can't keep my internal thermostat happy!

• abdominal something's. They're not cramps, not stomach ache, sort of pulling, stretchy sort of funny feelings.

• mood swings. My poor DH.

• starving to off all food in 0.17 seconds.

• craving odd (for me) food. Cheese spread and butter on toast? Nothing out of the ordinary but usually I'd be like,

So there we go, so going these symptoms it's obvious what's going on... I need me a straight jacket.

Have a good day ladies. Hope something happens for us soon xx

can't

Forgot to add my sore boobs!

They've been sore for a few days now, nipples were especially sore in the shower last night, like knives!

I reeeeallly want to test but it's faaaaaar too early.

Why oh chuffing why is it still negative? DAY 40......
Clear Blue 3 - Hormonal Woman 0
I feel differenter, I'm sure I do

Maybe it's just trapped wind

2 days till that 300 mile journey.

I need that BFP!

Oh impatience, bfn here too! The critically acclaimed super drug own brand.

I nearly told DH last night that I thought I was pregnant. Chickened out in the end, it would freak him out since his meltdown... I definitely feel different, so tired! I was asleep by 8pm last night and the night before. Hoping it's just too early to test with my dodgy cycle this month, I think it's only a week since ovulation so I'll retest in a week.

Those super drug twin pack tests are buy one get one half price by the way... Four tests for just under £7.50!

Have a positive day ladies xx

Yep know that feeling, I lasted until 9pm and then headed to bed.

This is just a total mind f*ck aint it?

I'm never at the docs, rarely ill, and here I am starting to say "oh that left eyelash is looking a bit wonky... PREGNANT! I MUST BE PREGNANT!"

Worse still is my other half's face when I walked downstairs this morning and said it was another BFN.

My symptoms, imagined or real are;

• lethargy/tiredness
• tender boobs (more on the left side)
• A weird feeling in my boobs, like there's just SOMETHING Going on with them.
• Fartilicous... more gas than a hippo after beans
• Waves of feeling... just weird

The thing is strange things are afoot because:

1 - normally a week before my period I know, because I start cramping but nothing this month at all.

2 - I've been doing Slimming World for 13 weeks now, lost over 2 stone and I lose every week without fail - even at period time. Last week... I maintained and I had been amazingly good.

The ClearBlue ovulation thingy I was using told me I was fertile on the 8th of August. We went for it on the 8th, 9th, 10th... but my periods are all over the place. 41 days is the longest I've gone, today is day 40... is there STILL a chance that its too early?

I WISH I'D BEEN BORN WITH TESTICLES INSTEAD!! (not as well as ovaries, that would be odd)

Yes it's an absolute PITA! Men have it easy...

You have some cracking symptoms though, keeping fingers crossed for you! xx

Ladies today I had my BFP! Yesterday a pristine negative and today a positive I'm so happy and it shows there's hope! Good luck cherry pie I'm sure your husband will be chuffed if you are! Impatience I think 40 days can still be early my pharmacist told me it took her 3 weeks to get a BFP xxxx

Congratulations MSMB

I was feeling quite down today about being CD64 but it does give a glimmer of hope.
(Unlikely I know!)

Ahhhh huge congrats my darling girl! Right then Cherry... Us next. Right? And you Beaver!

Day 41 in the big baby cave

NEGATIVE

I have massive water retention, no sign of AF... slight pulling in the baby cave last night but didn't feel like menstrual cramps at all.

Toying with idea of going to the docs but really don't to waste anyone's time? What do you reckon?

Wow MSMB That's wonderful news!! Congratulations honey :) :) . I caught DH looking at the boots baby event today... I just can't work him out, we'll see :)

Right Beaver, impatience... Us next. Don't worry about the bfn today impatience, just a minor bump in the road. I have 3 tests upstairs that are calling me but I'm not testing until late next week. Well that's the plan. I was thinking next Friday or even the Monday after? Can I really wait that long?

What are today's symptoms anyway?
Here's mind:

• tiredness.
• nausea

-sore knifey nipples and boobies

• strange stabby pelvic pains
• headaches
• backaches
• tonnes of creamy white cf, cervix high and closed
• bloating

Good looking symptoms, let's see what next week brings.

Have a lovely day! Xxxx

Just read about your water retention - I'd definitely get that checked out impatience, if nothing else you can pick their brains while there... Maybe they could answer some of your questions?

I've moved at the end of April so have just literally been in to the surgery to change to the one I now live closer to... the good news is they can fit me in next week (unlike the old surgery... 3 and a half week wait!!) Hurrah! Now need to call them back tomorrow when I'm on their system to make an appointment.

Your symptoms sound bang on though lady, I hope it wont be too long for you! Anymore from hubs?

I'm going to buy more tests later, I'll take them away with me and at least that way if there's still no show by the time I get to the docs, and no AF I can impress him/her with my vast array of pissed on sticks.

Sure they'll love it.

Oh and symptoms...

like theres a small evil dwarf in my left nork trying to blow up a balloon
Bloated like a good un
Water retention

Thats it really, other things are coming and going. I get waves of feeling nauseous but then I'm a girl who would throw up at the drop of a fart so I aint reading too much into that!

Hello ladies, can I join you please? I'm also on the September bus but this thread really caught my eye. I'm currently CD35. Have always had VERY irregular periods except for when I was on the pill and then was like clockwork, almost to the hour!

Cycle seems a bit steadier at around 6-7 weeks since I stopped breastfeeding but have only had 3 AF to guess that from. It's just a nightmare trying to know when/whether you're ov'ing and whether lack of AF is just my crazy body going back to how it was before . My phone app reckons I should be due for AF around 15th September so may lurk here for a while if that's ok! No symptoms to speak of except some cramping. BFN on last Sunday but was probably way too early anyway! No more tests in the house now, and WILL NOT buy any more until AF is "late" by a week or two. I prefer blissful ignorance to a BFN!

Congrats to those who've had their BFP, gives me lots of hope!

Hey Orange, course you can m'darlin... although it my post - ah well sure the gals wont mind!

irregular periods are arseholes... pure and simples. I hate my ovaries I really do.

I might buy shares in tests, I could make myself rich and bankrupt all at the same time.

Good luck my ladies... tomorrow is a new sunrise!

Afternoon (feels like evening!) ladies :)
Welcome orange, feel free to join. I tried joining the September thread but I just can't keep up! It moves so fast, I have a read now and again though - a few have got their bfp's lately. So happy for them :)

impatience Hurrah for appointment! Boo to having to wait a week though, although as you say it's better than 3 and half weeks!
That's just some sort of crazy!

Shares in tests? Blimey - I think we all should! Haha

As for the husband, on the way back from town he gently suggested that I go back on the pill. :( I've told him I want to properly talk to him about it at some point (he's at work til late tonight). I just can't keep up with his hot and coldness. I so hope that I've caught on this month as I've got a feeling there will be no more ttc. We went to look at cars today, he badly needs a new one - his current one has about 5 days life left in it! Anyway, I suggested a 7 seater for my next car cue him saying "what on earth will you need a 7 seater for??" Erm....a place to seat that fourth child we've been trying to conceive?? :(

It's not looking good on the husband front.

I almost bought some more tests today, it was a twin pack in Asda for £1! I summoned some will power and put them down. I don't want to see another bfn and it's still too early for a bfp going by ovulation days.

Hey ho girlies. Hope you've had productive days - I certainly haven't! Despite my youngest starting full time school today! I can't believe he's lad enough for school, how did that happen so quickly??
