Is your AF due around 6th September but you suspect you successfully conceived???

...then join in here.

One day I am certain I am pregnant with period like pains and sore boobs, the next day I am certain I'm not.

It's an agonising wait...how slow will the next seven days be!!!

Feel the same? Lets joke and cry together about the ridiculous state of mind this puts us in!!!

My AF has been really heavy and painful. I can't help but wonder if I was in the first stages of pregnancy but it wasn't right. I had such acute pains. Maybe if it happens again, I should go to the doctor in case it is something else.

Sorry to hear zen1980, oddsock and dinkyboysmum. I'm considering temping at the moment. Sounds interesting and you really get to know your cycle.

YAY - MAMMAJAMMA - GREAT NEWS love to hear about those BFP's.

Many congrats Mammajamma

So sorry to read your news babyinarms Here's hoping for July for you (I'm a July birthday, I think it's a great month!)

AF arrived yesterday here too. I strongly suspected it was on its way from Weds, lots of cramping and spots!! It is also very heavy but in my case believe this is due to having had 2 previous c-sections (they've been heavier since DD was born).

oddsock, zen, daisy5 & dinkyboysmum- sorry you have all started AF too- here's hoping for next month eh? (and enjoying a few glasses of wine ). My DD was born in June, it's a lovely month for a baby...

Fairywing- any news? Keeping fingers crossed for you!

KiwiKat · 06/09/2008 15:25

AF's due tomorrow and I have NO PG signs, but we live in (self-delusional) hope, don't we? Sorry to hear the witch has visited Daisy, Oddsock and Zen - bleurgh to her! (Big fat raspberry emoticon) Best of luck to all the others still hoping for no visit.

Dorchies · 06/09/2008 17:36

Hi All,

I'm feeling really pre-mentrual, have that dragging feeling in my belly, am really irritable and getting clumsy - all classic signs to me that AF is about to arrive. Due on anytime from tommorrow to tues, but wednesday is 14 days since my treatment. Convinced i'm not pregnant - but while there's no AF, there's still hope!

Keeping fingers crossed for everyone

PussinJimmyChoos · 06/09/2008 17:43

Am not due until Wed but stupidly tested today with cheapo boots one...bfn....I know its far to early....why do I do it?!!!

fairywing · 06/09/2008 21:47

Loads of AF pain for me but still no AF. Pretty sure she's on her way though

deanychip · 06/09/2008 22:25

Hi, Did pregnancy test this morning, negative.......went to the loo half an hour later.......AF arrived
Was absolutely convinced. Even as late as last night, i had a dizzy spell, felt sick all day and boobs absolutely killing me, absolutely convinced.
am

KiwiKat · 07/09/2008 09:10

Stupid temp dropped this morning to 9.65, which is a pretty clear indication that AF will be here in the next 24 hours. Bum.

cece · 07/09/2008 14:54

AF due to tomorrow. Having a run of unusually high temps at the moment... here

Getting a bit excited so will be heading for a fall I suppose if af arrives...

dinkyboysmum · 07/09/2008 19:41

cece your temps look really good... it looks like they could be going triphasic, & it looks like a promising implantation dip early after O...let us know how it goes!!

cece · 08/09/2008 07:17

Got a BFN this morning but only 10 dpo so a bit optimistic maybe!

summerwhatsummer · 08/09/2008 08:05

Hi all - Deany, sorry to hear about AF. Its horrible when you've convinced yourself your PG isn't it. It happened to me last month.

Cece - keep holding out. Don't understand temping but if they look good, great, hang on to that and don't worry about a BFN at 10 DPO. Give it another couple of days and see.

I've had slight cramping over the weekend, dreaming that its implantation...! Boobs not sore, but look massive this morning. Also been in the most foul mood, arguing with DH all weekend. PG or AF on its way? We'll have to see. AF due Friday (possibly over weekend if I'm on a slighty later cycle).

fairywing · 08/09/2008 09:11

Oh this is awful. I have had AF cramps as if she is definitely starting on Friday till yesterday. Then today nothing, no AF, no cramps. I tested yesterday but got a BFN . I'm on CD 32 now and about 14DPO. I have felt a bit nauceous for a few days and really spaced out yesterday. I have had sore boobs and very sensitive nipples since ov. Also had two nights of raunch dreams . Was really really tired on Friday to the point of not being able to function properly but been ok since. I don't know what is going on now .

happylittlebunny · 08/09/2008 10:57

Morning all, well I think I'm out this month. Just saw a spot of blood so must be my AF arriving early (was due tomorrow). Hey ho here's to another month of ovulation tests and trying!!

daisy5 - I too had proper symptoms around the time I suppose after implantation, then 3/4 days later had a really bad day, terrible stomach pains all day, was very fiery tempered and emotional and just felt odd. That's when my symptoms stopped overnight. I'm going to ask my specialist when I see him but I'm fairly convinced that although it may have implanted or began to unfortunately it didn't stay that way. Will keep you posted.

Good luck to all those others still waiting this month x

happylittlebunny - yes, I had all the classic symptoms this time, and yet when I fell pregnant last time, I had no symptoms at all.

Enough to drive you mad isn't it!!!

KiwiKat · 08/09/2008 14:16

She's here. Big rats bottom.

summerwhatsummer · 08/09/2008 15:34

Sorry AF has got you happylittlebunny and kiwikat.

So who's left? Cece and Fairywing, I know you're still in and I am, but anyone else?

I have to admit I cracked earlier when walking past chemist and bought a PG test. Did it about 15 minutes ago and while it looks like a BFN...if you look harder, hold it up to the light and squint (oh the madness of our lives), then there is the very faintest of blue lines. I used clear blue, which claims you can you 4 days early but didn't use FMU. I'm CD25 with AF due on Friday (ish). Now beginning to hope...what do you reckon?

summerwhatsummer · 08/09/2008 15:42

Just gone back to look at it and the lines got more pronounced (still very faint, of course, but more definitely-possibly there iyswim!)

Now 20 minutes since I did the test. Is this too late to look at it?

cece · 08/09/2008 16:08

What do the instructions say? Sounds promising.

summerwhatsummer · 08/09/2008 16:29

Instructions said to read it within ten minutes. There was the faintest of faintest am-i-just-imagining-it line then but it has continued to get more pronounced and more visibly there. Now a good coloured but very thin blue line...

I would be so happy if I am PG this month. The first and most significant miscarriage I had was conceived in August last year with a due date of May 13th. Just checked what this would be if it does happen and it would be May 20th, so almost exactly a year on (AND NOT THE 13th!!)...all my fingers are crossed for this month and think I will test again in a few days to see...

PussinJimmyChoos · 08/09/2008 19:44

I caved and did the other boots test just now...bfn...not due until wed though but surely SOMETHING would be showing by now or???

Dorchies · 08/09/2008 20:41

Hey Summer - they say you can't have a false positive on a HPT so even a faint line is a faint positive - try again tommorrow morning - and let us all know!!

Good luck

KiwiKat · 08/09/2008 21:58

Glad someone's still in the game. Let us know how you get on. Kiwikat CD1 (sigh ...) signing off.

Dorchies · 08/09/2008 22:24

I'm still in the game - despite feeling like AF was about to arrive alot of last week - no show yet. AF was due yesterday on a 26 day cycle which i normally have. Tom
morow will be day 28 and day 29 will be 14 days since I had fertility treatment. I'm feeling positive, but don't want to get my hopes up in case AF arrives!
