tested this morn.......BFN so am also preparing for arrival of AF

Tinker3 · 15/10/2008 10:49

Oh no... We're a sad bunch today.. I tested last night - BFN too. Just feel really miserable, fat and bloated. AF on her way... Ray, I really feel for you - keep that chin up and let's all try again in a couple of weeks.. Although DH has just informed me he's away on a week long work jolly()at what would be a good time next month, so we may have to wait until Dec before trying agan! Takes the Mickey when he was away working for the whole of April and May, and July and August (he's a military man!) Bucket loads of baby dust for next time..

Doom & gloom here today arnt we!! Ive had strong period pain for most of the day today but still no AF as yet. I just know she is going to hit me on Friday and i have a nice bottle of red waiting for when she does!!

Lets hope the next thread will be lucky for all us TTCers!!

clairey80 · 15/10/2008 14:06

lully, i'm exactly the same, bad AF pains but not actually here yet

LullyMummaOfOne · 15/10/2008 14:23

Its really strange as i dont get AF pains before only on the day of arrival. Having sais that this will be my first propper period since having my coil removed (in April) so maybe i will now get the pre pains.

Just to explain (incase you think April was so far away) i had my coil removed in the April, had a very light period in early May, was pregnant by the end of May but MC in July. Ive only had one period since which was Sept 20th and that was very heavy & painful.

God only knows what this one will be like.. but i have lots of OV test sticks & pregnancy tests at home so am looking forward to using them in a few weeks time!

yeah, july baby would be ideal as hubby is teacher so he'd be on summer hols!!

spats · 15/10/2008 16:01

by the way does anyone know if you have a miscarriage at 4 1/2 weeks which i did can you get pg straight away. obviously i didn't this month but is there a chance next month. Didn't think much about it but when AF arrived it had a few clots in it which i now think was my body still getting rid of remainig pg bits. If this is the case will my body be ready to conceive again this month? I know they suggest waiting 3 motnh before trying but isn't that when you mc later not at 4/12 or 5 weeks??

Hi girls!

Have been away this week so have not caught up on thread yet (but will of course!!) Hope everyone is well.

I need help!!!! AF due last sat. Did two tests on sat morning BFN. Then af arrived! Totally normal Af. Boobs usually 'go down' as soon as she arrives but today realised that they are still really tender.

So just now have done cheapy test (you hear about these women that have normal af during pg) and got faint line within 2 min.

What does this mean?? Am I pg? Was I pg and now not? Faulty test? Im dead confused????

LovelyMonster · 15/10/2008 20:19

Nervous bump

clairey80 · 15/10/2008 21:42

sounds hopeful!! they say some women have AF throughout pregnancy don't they! i tested this morn and got BFN but still no AF, weird cos has AF pains over a week ago now, been having brown discharge since about sunday............... not sure whats going on but reckon AF is on her way

Good luck though, fingers crossed ur hosting a little bean!! xx

LullyMummaOfOne · 16/10/2008 08:59

Hi ladies, still no AF for me either. Didnt test this morning as im 100% sure she is on her way after suffering bad period pains yesterday.

SPATS- i was told that its unlikly you will ovulate the month after your MC as you body is adjusting to being back to normal again.
I was also told that i dont have to wait 3 months and to try again when emotionally ready. This month for you could be promising now that your AF has arrive- i wish you lots of luck.

CLARIE- i will be checking in with you tomorrow as it will be D day for us both! Not sure what to suggest about your brown discharge, it must be so frustrating for you.

LOVELY- i have also heard of wonem haviong periods whilst being PG, i hope the fain line means that your PG!!

Tinker3 · 16/10/2008 09:03

Hello.. Well, still no AF, still BFN on test but my BB's feel like they may fall off they're so heavy!

Lot's of luck and baby dust for those of you that are testing tomorrow!!!

LovelyMonster · 16/10/2008 09:14

Thanks Claire and Lully. Sorry to hear you are feeling that af is on the way. But hey thats exactly how I felt this time last week. it aint over til its over!

I tested again this morning and same thing. Line is faint but def there. Looks exactly how the faint line looks on the box. And appears within 2-3 min. Im confused. Boobs still sore, feeling a bit scatty and come to think of it had several dizzy spells during af. But thought nothing of it. I really dont want to get my hopes up. Does anyone know how long hcg stays in system if you mc at 4 weeks? (i know that sound silly).

Ive just ordered some digital tests and think i will do one in a few days. Figure hcg would be gone then if not pg. eek.

clairey80 · 16/10/2008 09:40

stupid AF arrived

good luck to those still hopeful!!

LullyMummaOfOne · 16/10/2008 10:08

Sorry to hear it arrive Clairey, here is hoping next month will be a lucky one for us all!

Lovely- im not sure about the HGC levels after a MC but my doctor told be to test 2 weeks after i had my operation to remove the products of conception.

Is it on your mind that you may have MC?

VeryKeenForABean · 16/10/2008 12:22

Hi guys,

joining in with the doom Tested with FMU this morning and got a BFN so just waiting for AF, she cannot be far away

May allow myself a few days of moping!!

Sorry to all those with the same news,

xxxx

LovelyMonster · 16/10/2008 13:00

Well I have had BFP (5 to be precise, including cb digital). But have just finished nornal AF. So worried that had normal pregnancy loss in AF but HCG still in system. Conception indicator said 1-2 weeks but it would have been more like 2-3 which makes me think HCG not very high and therefore not pg. I had BFN on sat just before AF arrived.

Obviously would be over the moon if this turned out to be an ongoing pregnancy, but still feeling happy about that fact that we actually conceived this month!! First time thats happened!

Fingers crossed i guess. Think I will recheck sun or maybe next week before going to gp.

Tinker3 · 16/10/2008 13:31

LOVELYMONSTER - what a nightmare! And how confusing for you!! I think maybe your should go to your GP? Get it all checked out!?

beckyjamie1 · 16/10/2008 14:14

done another hpt today and yet another bfn but still no af i dont know whats going on with my body at the minute have sore nipples and every morning before i get out of bed feel af coing but then it goes once im up just wish af would get here so i can get going again!!!

LovelyMonster · 16/10/2008 15:40

Really dont want to go to GP at moment as 1. They are not going to be able to do much and 2. This month we are starting to have infertility investigations and I dont want to cancel them if this turns out to be nothing (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE SOMETHING!!) Although my bloods I had done on monday may turn up some strange results if I am pg.

Telling DH tonight. Cant keep it in any longer.

Hope everyone is doing well and that nasty old fleabag stays away

ray81 · 16/10/2008 17:21

Hi lovelymonster, i realy hope this is a keeper for you. Im the same and think you should see gp they maybe able to give you an indication of whats going on.

Well as Af arrived i have worked out when Ov and we did BD on that day so not sure why this isnt working!!! please someone help any ideas, my friend today suggested turkey baster (do people actually do that?) I cant imagine that working surely. I put the legs in the air and it was a morning bd so should have been prime time. God im at a loss realy dont know what to do anymore.
