Thanks for the in put and I wish all the best that are trying and you get a BFP at the time. I know the feeling well. I even the watched my fluids, ovulation testing, temping drill. Took us 3 years to conceive my first daughter. I finally conceived when we started using the ovulation sticks. From what I remember I was all over the map reason we kept missing it. I had implantation with my oldest. Hang in there for all that are trying and hugs.

Soozc I tested today first thing. Got another BFN but still no period at day cd37. So confusing as the waiting game continues. The stage of events has me puzzled. Maybe I just need to put it out of my head .... Will give it another week and test again next Saturday if still nothing. Ugh. The joys of being a woman. How are you feeling?

Hi all and welcome to everyone who's joined us this week.

Fran, how are you?

Love, I'm around 6 weeks along so expect I've just been hit harder with symptoms this time around. The fatigue is awful. It hit me before I was able to take a test and I'm finding it increasingly tough to function. Granny had come to the rescue tonight and taken DD for dinner so j can put my feet up for a few hours.

To those of you testing, my cycle is long, and I didn't get my BFP until CD 50. About 12 DPO. I used an OPK and think it was worth the investment in the clear blue one. I used ovia app too.

Good luck for the coming days x

Luvbeinmum · 16/04/2016 19:40

Little heart had you tested before cd50 and got bfn?

SoozC · 16/04/2016 20:25

Wow, Luv, another BFN? Perhaps you're stressing and AF is late because of that? Fx it all works out one way or another soon. I'm feeling a bit odd today, tbh. After earlier pains near my hip, which have briefly reappeared once or twice over the day, I have felt slightly sick but eaten meals fine, now have feeling in my stomach like I've eaten too much but I haven't and I'm aware of my boobs more than usual. Who knows!

charlotte1990 · 16/04/2016 21:07

Hi again all thanks for responding. We are all on this roller coaster. Every month since my miscarriage I have hated when my period arrives so disheartened but hoping this month is a good result. Been having some darker coloured discharge last 2 days so hoping that's a good sign but who knows. Trying to not think about it so much drive my self crazy... my period is due 26th April on the bfs bday :-) would be a nice pressie...
The waiting when you think something is wrong is awful had to wait a week when I had my first scan at 8 weeks due to bleeding and when they told me my dates I knew something was wrong as I knew my dates.. hated waiting the week to go back and have another scan to see if baby had grown :(
It's so hard to take your mind off it.
When are you all due on your periods? I'm going to try my best to wait until the 26th and not take one before... easier to say lol x

SoozC · 16/04/2016 21:30

I'm due on the 25th, Charlotte, and I really want to hold off testing until I'm late but it is so hard! Sorry to hear about your mmc, fx this month for a sticky bean!

LittleHeart2014 · 16/04/2016 22:28

Yes, Luv, three! It was quite disheartening but a friend didn't get hers until around 20 DPO so that gave me hope. I do think long cycles can result in longer waits for a BFP. I was still seeing no lines when I POAS days after doing a digital x

Luvbeinmum · 17/04/2016 00:13

I don't feel stressed about it.... Though it is on my mind of course. Just confused honestly. I have had two weeks of period like or pregnancy like things going on Everyday. Seems I have kept my mind mostly off of it today and been cleaning my house. Just starting to get annoying with no answers.

I just looked at my past books that I tracked with my Dds and I was 5 weeks with both when I found out. If you go by period that is what I would be now but who knows when I actually ovulated as I wasn't tracking.

We will see as time goes by I guess.

SoozC sorry your not feeling that great. Take it easy today. How many days until test?

Charlotte sorry for your mc ... Hugs and keep positive.

Little heart thanks for the information and hope you are feeling well.

Frantasic · 17/04/2016 00:40

Hi Little and everyone else.

I have been taking a bit of time to step back from the situation. Tested again today and got another extremely faint BFP. I could only see it in certain lights. It's weird thought, I woke up about 5 am feeling sick, then again when I went to the supermarket... When I got home I felt so sick I nearly threw up. I was also feeling shaky and tired all day. If the tests are barely showing positive, why all the symptoms!? My boobs are looking like they do when I have PMT too.

How are you? X

charlotte1990 · 17/04/2016 07:36

Fran have you tried the digital one? Clearblue they are good.

I know what you mean Luv all the niggles and pains down there is keep reading into... woke up about 4 with a few down below. .
Keeping occupied today doing a bootsale... only a few more weeks. Plus side find out my sons school tomorrow :)

LittleHeart2014 · 17/04/2016 07:58

Agree with trying the digitals Fran. I got my first clear line today. Ran out of digitals but they've been picking it up for over a week.

Symptoms sound promising x

Frantasic · 17/04/2016 09:19

Morning Charlotte and little.

I was going to get one yesterday but I thought it seemed like a waste of money as I'm going to EPU tomorrow morning for a blood test. I only tested to see if there was line progression. X

LittleHeart2014 · 17/04/2016 10:26

Good luck at EPU Fran x

Frantasic · 17/04/2016 11:25

Thanks little. Smile

FrazzleRock · 17/04/2016 16:35

Hi all!

My body is being an absolute bellend.

Roughly 10DPO I caved this morning and tested 3 days early. Negative!
I then grabbed an OPK. Positive Hmm

So I'm wondering if I even ovulated at all and the OPK was a false +.
Means all of these symptoms I'm having are either completely made up, or there is something medically wrong wirt me.

I fucking hate PCOS. Im sure that's to blame.

charlotte1990 · 17/04/2016 20:16

Can I ask what is opk?

Aww good luck Fran!
With my last pregnancy I found out with a faint test 2 days before I was due on... try and hold out. I know how hard it is x

FrazzleRock · 17/04/2016 21:54

It's an ovulation test stick.
Yeah I've just got to be patient. I'd just assume with all these strong symptoms, I'd get a + test early. I tested + mega early with my MC

I'm still convinced I'm totally imagining things.
DP googled metal taste with dry mouth and now he thinks I've got a cerebral fluid leak or something. Bloody Google!

charlotte1990 · 17/04/2016 22:28

Ow God lol Google is not good sometimes even though I use it daily. Try again in a few days when you due on?

lovewatchingrainfall · 18/04/2016 07:35

Good morning all. Sorry not replied sooner, was at the MIL all weekend. Welcome newbies hope all is going okay.

Good luck today Fran let us know how you get on.

Any News yet Luv how are you doing?

How are you doing Charlotte and little?

I would ban Google Frazzle there is so many mixed messages on there. Let us know how you get on. Maybe try again in a few days and see what happens.

Well not much news from me, still getting a lot of cramps so not really sure what is going on. Have known nearly a whole week now and still not told my DH. I know that this is not normal, Its his birthday tomorrow so plan on telling him then especially as he is talking about going away for Christmas. I know i maybe should have told him sooner but he is so stressed with work and his grandma is not well that i did not want to add to the stress (he is a big worrier) so the cramps would worry him and stress him out.
Plus with the previous MC i am just trying to shield him from more hurt. I do not feel i can get to attached at the moment just in case.

Wishing you all a happy Monday.

Hey love. Took a test on sat was BFN. Tomorrow morning will be CD40. Lots of cm Boobs still hurt light cramps off and on almost every night for two weeks now. Was laying in bed reading when you messaged and tummy feels weird. Tight kinda on the left side by ovaries. Not sure what's going on. Haven't told hubby I'm late as like yours he's a worrier and I just don't want to fight with him over the unknown. My gut feeling he won't be happy as not really planned but like others have said he knew that pullout is only so effective and well it was a bad pull out on his part. I just wish for some answer.

Love take a deep breath things will work out the way they should. Tell your hubby Hun. He will be ok. (I know I should tell mine too...). I get it.

Anyways going to try to sleep. Hugs

FrazzleRock · 18/04/2016 10:22

I've no idea when I'm due on as my cycles are so bloody erratic the last 6 months. If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd have said it's due in about 100 days or so. Now, I could be due today, last week, in two weeks time. Who knows! I have PCOS and it seems to gone into hyperdrive the last 6 months. I was checked over by my gynae last October and he said it's just PCOS doing something different, though I did have a fairly large cyst on one of my ovaries.
Ovia app says test in 2 days when I'll be approximately 13 days DPO. But only CD 23. It's so confusing!

My mouth is driving me crazy, metal mouth has been constant for a week now, plus really watery, (despite a dry tongue) I'm almost drooling. I swished some Corsidol this morning in the hope the taste would go but that taste was so bad and lingered for ages, now I have metal mouth again. I don't think it's a gum problem as my teeth never bleed when brushing. Plus I made peas for the DC last night and they smelt really off, DP smelt them and said they were fine and actually smelt and tasted lovely.

If I'm not pregnant, then I'm stumped.

Love that sounds stressful, but I would tell him. I've got such a blbber mouth I'd have told the world by now! But then the world nows about our MC and also that we're trying again so I don't think it'd be a big surprise to anyone, unlike last time.

luv My DP uses the pull out system when he gets cold feet about trying again. Very strange you're getting so many obvious symptoms and still no BFP. Maybe you're a medical mystery like me ;) Depressing not to get that BFP when you feel so pregnant and your body is telling you you are. I'm not sure what to suggest. I don't know if you've said before or if anyone's asked, but you don't have PCOS too do you?

Frantasic · 18/04/2016 10:33

Hi guys... Just got back from the EPU and the bloods have been taken!!! The nurse is calling me this afternoon with the results... I was very surprised when she told that even at this stage women often get super faint BFPs. She thinks it's still possible it's a viable pregnancy. Well ladies, we'll know in a few hours. Confused

FrazzleRock · 18/04/2016 10:53

OMG Fran Best of luck my dear. Come on minifran! I am rooting for you!

FrazzleRock · 18/04/2016 10:55

Oh and I've just realised that water also tastes like metal. I was wondering if it was the previous Evian bottle I was using which was a few days old. I bought a fresh one this morning and still METAL. I'm so sick of it!

rocket8t4 · 18/04/2016 10:59

I'm new to this but feeling totally desperate, this waiting is awful! I had a mmc in February, mc the night before my 12 week scan, totally gutted. Now I'm waiting, period due this week, I'm sweating, feel like my blood is coursing through my veins and my heart is pumping like mad, I can't help hoping this is all good, but don't want to set myself up for a fall. Ugh it is stressful!! Good luck to everyone here.
