AF due today, did the deed around ovulation, got all PG symptoms but 4 tests negative aaargh!

[saffymum]

I'm getting annoyed trying for baby number 2, I thought I would get PG really quickly as with DS I did on the very first try.

My first day of last AF was 26 July, should have ovulated 12 Aug and been good for conception 8-15 Aug. 31 day cycle should have AF today. I've done tests every few days (all negative, no faint lines or anything) as I SOOOO want it to be as easy as last time and I'm on a very tight schedule, its got to be born May/June.

Am I being silly? How long does it take for the hormones to react on the tests. Last time with dS I did a test 4 days after sex and was pg (ie way before AF was scheduled). So why no indication now or am I just imagining the sore boobs, tiredness heightened sense of smell?

Anyone?

Well I thought ovulation was around mid month due to signs that I usually have and did have but frustrating atm because I could SWEAR I was pg with all the symptoms. Good luck ttc, how long have you been trying?

we've been TTC nearly six months, I've had a miscarriage in that time. It would have been a march baby, and that would have fitted in perfectly with us. But like you know you can't always plan these things.

Totally understand your crazy schedule plans! I am hoping for a summer baby next year (may - early sept) as it will be a planned c-section and I would rather recover in the sun than the dark old winter days.

Good luck!

yes it's far easier to cope with sleepless nights when the days are getting longer and there is more sunlight.
