1 WEEK TO GO!!

[spats]

Anyone else got 1 week until AF is due???

ladies, it's saturday, anyone testing??!

i tested again this morning, faint line still there (yay!) and just a bit easier to spot too, my DH saw it too so that's helped reassure me for now . symptoms so far: boobs! definite goings on there, thirsty all the time and going to the loo more often even though i drink a lot of water usually anyway. im getting strange twinges in pelvic area, which sometimes worry me iykwim. right, i'm 'resting' today!

oh and Lully i got that white discharge about a week ago too...babydust to all!!!!

Hello ladies... Well, did another test this morning - BFN. Not surprised!!! I think I am getting confused! I ovulated on the 17th/18th according to my OPK.. When does that make me due? I used a First Response test - which detects 6 days before... Am I still too early??

Congratulaions Questions - keep those feet up!

wake up babymadness....

Tinker i'm not sure at all, but as long as your AF stays away it's ok, as OPKs can be wrong, or your cycle is longer etc, and tests can take a while to pick up the HGC. fingers crossed for you!

Hey guys,

So tested this morn and got a BFN, shit well not meant to be then!!! although have had a small cry but want to break down. Feeling very upset, angry, frustrated and like life is soooooooooooooooo unfair.

Tinker if you Ov CD 17-18 you should have AF 14-16 days after as thats how long normal LP is.

Have pains in pelvis all over like a dull ache but constantly now sure Af is on it was. Just want it to hurry now so we can get going again.

Ray were you overdue or have you tested too early??

Tinker i don't think i would trust the 6 dya early kit. until af is late i am not convinced. some of these kits detected still quite high levels of hcg, not sure if everyone produces enough 6 days early - surley if you ovulate late in your cycle the implantation still might only have just occured 6 days before af due. hasn't had much time to produce high levels of hcg. finers crossed -not over until af comes.

me i am due mon, boobs v heavy now but a i have said its normal for me. the waiting came continues. good luck anyone testing today - hope lots of bfp come on this link. any bpn we will stay on this link and see each other through the next month

Hi Spats,

No Af not due til tues or weds so it is abit early, i did get the 6 day early one too but i', the same as tinker and dont OV until CD 16/17/18 so i suppose there is a little hope but back hurts. BBs hurt, bad ache in tummy and hips which i dont normally get but putting that down to the clomid. I have had 2 MC in the past and the pains almost feel like i did when i was having them, almost like hips are stretching its hard to explain but quite painful.

Good luck for Mon i realy hope it has worked for you we do need some more BFPs on here And if not then heres fingers crossed for next month. Im turning up a few notches and BD every other day all month i think DH wont know whats hit him. he he

Ray - sorry to hear about your bfn but you may have tested too early so sit tight and see how it goes!

As for me, I'm having (tmi) brown gunky stuff but no blood yet. However, last month the brown stuff started in the evening and it wasn't until the following evening that AF arrived proper. So, at the moment I'm still a teeny bit hopeful but I bet it starts proper soon....ahh well...

Stupid computer just wrote nice long message and just disappeared !!!! It went somehting like this..........

Puss you are right i may have tested to early but am sure witch will be here soon. The thing is we all know our bodies so well we just know when the witch is going to arrive.

I'm going shopping this afternoon and going to spend lots of money to cheer myself up. I better fall soon otherwise will be bankrupt and wont be able to afford to have another dc. He he he

Hello all

Well I am very confused indeed

I keep convincing myself I am pg then convincing myself I am not. I had rabid PMT last week which seems to have passed now... some light spotting last night which I thought was my period coming early - PMT, sore boobs disappeared but today - nothing. SPotting has stopped.

Period due on Tuesdayish but I haven't been charting so I'm not entirely sure [blsuh]. If and when I do come on then I think I'll start charting - then at least I'll know what's going on. Leaving it all up to mother nature is driving me bonkers.

SOunds like congratulations are in order Questions 2008

Much love and sympathy to those who feel they haven't been successful this month.

puss i am with you on the brown stuff (TMI i know!!) so AF is on the way 2 days early. At least i know now but i do just want to cry. I feel really down. My DH has been really supportive and said we should go stay in a 5* hotel in London in 2 weeks time when the fertile time is, so something to look foward to. Is anyone going to stay on this thread with me for next month or should i start another 1 for those needing to try again?

Lovely monster CD1. Boo.

Im keen to hang around...feels nice here. Maybe we should rename after a while? Lots of luck for those still in for this month

SPATS - I'll stay with you!! The more support the better I say! Lot's of luck to you! Don't cry...

DH and I did the 5 star thing last week in the New Forest and it was bliss.... Perfect setting and we were both so relaxed any baby concieved would have been done so in near perfect conditions! But alas, I don't think we were lucky this month.. So roll on the next!

Enjoy and keep posting!

AF has arrived! Never mind...

Would love to stay on this thread but won't make ovulation in two weeks as I have a feeling DH will still be in the Middle East.. I must say, the last two months we have been trying, it hasn't been 100% as I haven't BD after ovulation, only before so....mind you, no bad thing that I will miss next months as MIL terminally ill and DH may not cope with a pg and hormonal wife! Will have to wait and see how it plays out...

Hi all

Puss sorry to hear af arrived. Also that you are going through other difficult times right now. Sound like might be a good idea to give yourselves a break from all the stress and pressure to consentrate on your family. Try to stay positve and we are always here if you feel like popping in!

spats cd1 (officially here) thanks for messages of support to stay on thei link. good luck to those still waiting for this month.

puss you have so many troubles- bless you. i got my head around having AF this morning by thinking there are plenty of people worse of than me. I have 2 beautiful children and my health (and DH of course!!!). LUCKY ME. Helped a bit that it is a sunny day and i have taken some nurofen plus for my headache which has codeine!!! just going to look at some hotel and shows for 2 weeks and then forget about ttc until ovulation time and be thankful for what i have

hi guys,
i'm happy to stay on, this is a realy good thread and helps.

Spats so sorry Af arrived you more thing. still no af for me, this is starting to get on nerves big time ant it to come so can get on with it.

not feeling quite so depressed today thankgod but am still dead tired and just want to sleep have to make myself do anything.

You know what i put on white trousers today as was convinced would make it come. Still nothing bugger!!!
well it isnt due til tues so to much to ask for it to be early i suppose but why is it then when you want it to be its not and when you dont is.

God mother nature is such a bitch sometimes

Just wanted to say sorry for those who will be looking to next month, and good luck to those still in the game. I am extremely lucky to have got a nice clear bfp this morning after my faint line on Wed, and have been very humbled by the stories and experiences on this thread. I'll be following the thread with interest and cheering from the sidelines

Ok guys, help!!

have tracked my last 2 cycles and both have been 29 days.

last AF visit was 19th sept so am due on 17th oct. have been having dull AF type pains since about the 7th oct and yesterday and just now when i wiped had some browny coloured discharge.

Does feel like AF pains, not sure whats going on, is it the start of AF early????

bit confused so any help or advice greatly appreciated!!

(am 27, hubby and I have been trying for 3 cycles including this one)

Hi Claire,

could be AF but also could be bedding in pain and spotting. Unfortuantley all you can do is wait and see what it all comes to.
Were you on contraception before trying? which was it?. It could just be that coming out of your system and periods trying to get back to normal.
When i was on the pill had 28 day and for about 6 months after that but now am 28-35 day cycle depending on what body feels like doing that month.

Sorry not much help but thought i would try.

i was on the pill for 2 cycles finishing june.

yeah guess i'll just have to wait and see what happens, prob AF

hHi guys- was due AF Sat 11th, got pretty bad stitch like pain on left hand side yesterday- rather uncomfortable- never felt anything like that before. Got (sorry if TMI) pink/very light red spotting yesterday CD29, so pretty convinced SF is here, just very light for now. Normal start to AF is very brown and this wasn't, but I'm not holding out hope. Congrats and fingers crossed for those in luck/still hopeful. commisserations to those waiting another month......

Oh good luck Clairey hope the witch stays away!

Still nothing to report from me, im so tempted to test but know its still to early! Just have to keep my mind busy!

for Clarey, baby dust for next month.

Have you tested Moogatron?

I am due a visit from AF in a couple of days - when to test, when to test!! Am really keen to, even though it's too early and it wouldn't be an FMU. Might go out shopping (& buy some more tests!!) to take my mind off it. Am working tomorrow and Weds so will be busier! I know, I'm a weirdo!

Anyone going to be testing in the next couple of days?

Verykeen- I think I'd be wasting my time and money! I will wait out some more days and see how things pan out. TBH, I don't want to get my hopes up.
