I have sore boobs, cramps, back ache, mood swings but no af. I also have lots of lumpy really really dark yellow cm (sorry tmi) but i really need some help.
What on earth is going on. I would rather af just turned up instead of these weird symptoms that make no sense.
I keep running tot he loo every 5 mins convinced af has turned up and every time there is nothing!
Anyone ever had this happen to them??

Maybe your pg?? Have you done a test?

kayzisbroody · 18/02/2008 12:08

Yeah I'd do a test if I was you!

kayzisbroody · 18/02/2008 12:08

Ooops Sorry

rmm · 18/02/2008 12:19

I'm too scared to test!! I've been disappointed every month for the last 11 months and i just want af to turn up instead of these daft teasing games!! It feels like its arried or just around the corner ifkwim
I'm sore from wiping too much! But i still cant stop checking.
I think i need a swift kick up the ass!!!

If you added tired to that lot it would cover my early pg symptoms with DS. Thought I was due on any day and as was irreg had no idea AF was late.

Test!

Hope it is good news and v sorry if this gives you hope then BFN.

kayzisbroody · 18/02/2008 12:26

We'll be here if you want to test.
Maybe your af is just around the corner.
I'm not going to kick you up the ass, it must be awful not knowing

Davidsmom · 18/02/2008 12:29

Fair point Kayz

Sorry to put pressure on you to test rmm.

rmm · 18/02/2008 12:38

Thats ok davismom. I know you meant well! I am tired but i've just assumed its because af is round the corner.

K i could hug you for being so kind.
I'm at work right now and there's no way i can get a test today because:

  1. I Swore to dh i would stop my obsessive pos habit!
  2. I have to take dd to the doctor after work.
Plus i know you guys have probably experience the disappointment of a bfn, but today i am feeling particularly depressed so not sure i could handle a bfn. I know that on the upside atleast my gyno will start running all the tests, but i'm struggling to see the positive side of things today.

So sorry for the verbal diarrhea i just feel completely battered today!!!

Well if your af hasnt come by say Saturday then do a test. Surely your dh will understand if come Saturday there is no AF you need to do a test.

rmm · 18/02/2008 12:49

The asshole gyne told us that we should wait 10 days past due date for af to get the best result.
Men what do they know.
I was very tempted to change doctors - except i really like my gyno normally!!
So we made a deal i would wait until the 34 day mark which is how long my longest cycle has been and test then which is around the weekend!!!
I just wish i didnt have such strong af symptoms and no af.
I can deal with knowing - its the not knowing and then hoping that is killing me!
Sorry for being such a whiner i just need to know i'm not the only one ttc has driving round the bend!!!

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 18/02/2008 12:50

Do you think you could wait til the weekend? Or would it drive you crazy?

rmm · 18/02/2008 12:58

I guess its better to wait. So i'm going to try and wait till towards end of the week!!
I'm crazy anyway really surprised the men in white coats havent arrived yet to take me off to the loony bin!!!

Funny thing is that up until the point when af arrives i keep thinking maybe..............!!!
So pointless sometimes!
What stage are you at?

OP posts:
kayzisbroody · 18/02/2008 13:36

I'm ttc #2 Its only my first month of trying so far and I OV on Saturday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Hey if you get a BFP and I do at the start of March we'll be in the same antenatal thread!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you

Davidsmom · 18/02/2008 19:12

I am BF 9 month old and only got first AF last week. All the symptoms of AF for a few months but never came, kept checking daily on cheapy HPT for several weeks. Was v dissapointed when AF arrived. But at least I know things are beginning to get going again. Even those weeks of testing was driving me mad- 11 months! god they would have carted me away a long time before that.

Fingers crossed here too- let us know if good news. Its just I love people getting excited when getting BFP's. Maybe am a bit conception centred at the mo! (maybe bit too much

Good luck as well Kayz.

rmm · 19/02/2008 08:06

Af turned up. Last night. Needless to say i felt like my world collapsed
Have somehow managed to get into work today.
Have spoken to my gyno and i have to do several tests on thursday and see him with the results on Friday.
He is talking about timed intercourse i though we were timing things!!(shock)
And IUI!! Gulp.
Have to talk to DH about it tonight as we need to make a decision this week.
Since DH is adamantly against IUI i think i;m in for a rough night!!
Thank you for all the support yesterday.

Davidsmom · 19/02/2008 09:34

So sorry to hear about AF arriving. I hope you have someone sympathetic to talk to and get support from.

Suspect not really anything I can say to make things better for you but thinking of you anyway.

Hope DH surprises you and the tests go well.

Take care.

kayzisbroody · 19/02/2008 13:38

I'm so sorry
I really really hope your tests go well and that your DH will change his mind.
You poor thing,
