Anyone else due on or around 18th Sept??

[LullyMummaOfOne]

If so feel free to pass the time with me!

Mine is also due on 20th. After two months of heartbreak on BFN, I am definitely not testing.

I'm angry at the whole world today, which generally means AF its on its way, so not raising my hopes.

Have awful PMT-type stomach ache today, worse than usual. So I'm not hopeful either. x

Feeling a bit sad today. Only month 2 of trying so no right to be upset but I am.

Wasabi - if it helps, my lucky cycle was only number 3 - I felt exactly like you last cycle as I'd never realised before what a rollercoaster this all can be and had convinced myself there was no hope and I was too old ...

Have faith I am certain you will do it soon

Thanks Jools - just because I am a bit sad doesn't mean I'm still not happy for you! How did your DH react?

Wasabi - I think DP is still in shock !!

To cut a long story shorter, we've been engaged nearly ten years (!) and he's always known I've wanted children. Unfortunately he had a very bad time with illness / taking his employers to tribunal and ended up out of work for 4 years, just at the time I wanted to TTC ! So, 2 years on from that and he's been in a decent (temp) job for a year - I tell him its now or never as we're both getting on a bit and he agrees to TTC, but I don't bother him with the details and he doesn't really want to talk about it... He said last night he never believed it would happen and I've tried not to say too much or force things - just let him absorb it all.

His biggest worry is age - the thought of being 60 when DC is 18 I don't like it either, but equally I can't bear to go through life without having a family of my own.

He will come round - he is not anti, just dazed and confused - and I'm still on Cloud 9

Can I join in, was due on monday so four days late but bfn last night. Really confused, not sure how long to wait to test again if still not come on

3rd cycle lucky for us, too. BFP this morning!

Please keep fingers crossed for us - really hoping this is a sticky one, as I'm 37 and was running low on hope.

Sprinkling lots of baby dust all over the thread

Congrats cote, keeping fingers crossed

Hello Orangehead - I'd give it a couple of days and try again. Its so wierd - some people get BFP's several days before they are due, and with some it seems to take a week or more afterwards. I guess hormone levels vary - good luck though.

Jools - I understand about your DP's confusion! I clearly remember the moment when I told my DH about DS - he had just come back from nipping out to the shops. I shouted from upstairs "you need to look at this (the test) I think I'm pregnant". His exact reply "oh alright, hang on I'll just go and put this cheese in the fridge".

He remained sort of nonplussed for a few days until it gradually filtered in. Men are such funny creatures!

Congrats Jools and Cote! Fingers crossed for the rest of us. Not feeling particularly positive as I've been having stomachy gripes as I said, but I suppose I won't know for a few days.

wasabi- all my other pregancies got pfb a day or two before due.
sorry your feeling sad.

i tested today - bfn. still no af though

Still waiting for my AF, although it's not unusual for it to arrive later in the day or evening. Not holding my breath, though of course I am a bit...

Its confusing isnt it yellow and mrsg. Still no af so 6 days late, I am going to test tomrrow morning.

im on my 3rd day of being late and still no sign of af - bfn this morning with tesco's own test and several signs of pregnancy!! this is torture!!

It is torture, did you test with first morning pee? Supposed to be stronger then.

Yeah i did test with fmu was so disappointed with bfn but still no sign of af

hi orangehead and wishing - me too! I was due last tues so now 5 days late but still -ve and no af.

But according to this calculator www.hip-chick-pregnancy-guide.com/due-date-calculator.html first reliable date for test is Sept 24??

So am tryig to hold off wasting anymore tests til then. Glad it not just me though!! x

Me 2!! so glad someone else is going through this are you thinking about anything else, i dont seem to be!! im at docs this afternoon but dont think they will tell me much! Symptoms are now;

exhausted
sore boobs
stomach cramps and constipations
slight (very slight) Nausea
Metaliic tase in mouth
4 days late today

3 negative tests - one being a clearbllue digital!! aarrghh!!

im still wishing thou - good luck to everyone, keep in touch xxxxxxx

SNAP to all that wishing. Keep in touch - i am thinking of nothing else some days and feeling like a nutcase - so glad not to be alone!

Can't go to GP to request blood test as if I am pregnant I dont want it on their notes yet because I get my antenatal care out of county and I will be in for all sorts of hassle. So am hamstrung for a while. I can't even how long to leave it if this carries on with no af, and can;t stop testing daily

I am now 6 days late too...and even the 1st response and clearblue are a resounding -ve!
