7 DAY COUNTDOWN - Anyone testing around the WKEND of 25th...PLS Come Join

[Waiting2Exhale]

Hi ladies, I'm due to test on the 25th October and would love company on the last 7 days to testing. It would also be lovely if we could all support each other and check/contrast symptoms during the latter 2ww stretch.

I reckon this might actually be my month this time as I have heard once you actively take control of your situation and make an appointment to do something about it, sods law is you don't need the help...Well here's hoping as my appointment is on Wednesday with ARGC to hopefully start IUI. While we may actually have to pay for the initial consultation, as I doubt I will get a positive this early in my cycle, here's hoping we won't need the help.

To date I have had a massive temp dip and rise on cd9/10. It feels as if my period is about to start and have had a bout of gas . Other than this am really hopefull as we managed to bd loads on the run up to ov .

Oh well that's me out this month too Just did the HPT and it's a BFN

I knew deep down it would be. I can't see really how we could get PG naturally given 5 years TTC pre-IVF plus still breastfeeding. We can but dream though eh?

Best of luck to all of you still waiting, I hope the witch stays well away

I'm out too . Just got home from work, went to the loo and discovered AF had definitely arrived. Dammit - why oh why do I let myself get so excited each month. I had let myself feel that this month may have been the month. What a let down!

Hi ladies,

Wishing Still early days, It's not over to the fat witch sings so keep positive... baby dust your way

ILickYourSlimySleeves and Pezzina really sorry its over for you both. However, hand in there. Thought it would never happen to me and it did so keep positive and keep trying...loads of love your way.

Still can't believe it has happened to me but will not celebrate until we get to the 12week scan as we lost a baby before this scan before and don't want to get my hopes up.

To everyone else testing over the weekend or even early next week....all the best and will keep popping on to see how you all are.... xx

hey every one! welcome caitni & pezzina - i am so sorry pezzina sending you a big cuddle - its a horrible feeling i know! you got to try ans stay positive but is hard - i have kept trying all day to be positve then found myself crying over near enough nothing and finally admitting to myself thast its cos i got the bfn! dh was a bit miffed too but didnt dwell on it - he is not brilliant in emotional situations - glad i got this thread!!

hey sleeves, im so sorry you got a bfn too - still no af?? im offically due tomorrow, but i dont know what im feeling now!! will you test again you think or just putting it down to your body re adjusting with bf etc?? tmi warning! did your pee look diluted, it may have been more reliable with fmu??

i still think its poss for you to convcieve naturally you know, a lady at work is currently about 13/14 weeks pregnant and she has had it rough, she had had to have help before and was going for it again, she paniced as they took her into another room one day when she had an appointment and they told her she was 7 weeks gone!! complete shock and she is doing really well.

well anything can happen, but doesnt seem to happen in my tummy!!

xxxxxxxxxxx

wow its quiet on here tonight!

Hi sorry for the silence, I have been consoling myself with lots of junk food and watched a DVD with DH there. I am OK really, I did get so caught up in the fantasy but I'm back in reality again. AF still isn't here but there wasn't even a hint of a BFP on the HPT and there definately should be by now even if it's not FMU as I think I ov'd about 16 / 17 days ago now.

Sorry to hear you're out too Pezzina. Maybe we should start a new thread soon for TTC again this month? It's been good to get support

Good luck to all testing soon too.

Keep us posted on how you are doing too Waiting, have you made an appt to see the Dr yet for maternity referral?

Congratulations Waiting . Sorry to hear that so many of you are out. My AF also due on 25th, but had hcg so can't trust a test for another week, which I find distressing as mc at 4.5 weeks in March (my first DI attempt). Consequently, usually test early when have hcg so can see if left system. Previously test on day 8/9 after hcg is positive then negative on day 10/11. This time was positive on day 9,10,11 and 12 so started to hope but negative today on test which is 87% for day -3. This my 6th attempt (but first on clomid) so clinic starting to hint time to give up .

Fingers crossed for everyone. Really impressed at your ability not to test - I have no self control.

Symptoms so far are feeling sick and dizzy since Sunday (aggravated by paint fumes in office on Mon) but easing as week goes on and lots of bugs at work so prob just that.

Sorry pezzina and slimysleeves Wishing, hoping there is still hope. When I was in the bath tonight I thought my nipples looked darker......but as I say, am symptom spotting like crazy. I don't think I will be able to wait til Tuesday. I might have to do a fmu test on Friday if no spotting tomorrow. It's our first month ttc. We were trying since last Aug but gave up when I found out I had an underactive thyroid (now being treated). Then started trying again but stopped due to relationship problems - we're ok again now. I've had 3 m/c since having ds.

Congrats Waiting x

Been feeling sick on and off this week but I do think I'm reading more into it.
My boobs are now much fuller and sore so am hoping that I am but have this niggly feeling that AF is about to start. Will wait and see and if nothing will test early next week (if I can wait that long).

Good luck to you all x

goodluck to everyone with those syptoms just starting - lush and aideesmum and izzy!

i figured out to day i should by14dpo - didnt test again today but no sign of af and cramping has considerably subsided - still not holding out too much hope but still have this niggling feeling too! if af coming i want her here so i can get on with next month!!

any sign for you yet slimy??

i consoled my self with a dvd and biscuits last nite too!!

fingers crossed for everyone and hope you well waiting if your around

xxxx

Morning all,

Sorry I didn't post again last night - was a busy evening and I consoled myself with a small glass of wine. Thank you for all your good wishes. Feeling better about it today, still disappointed but at least the terrible waiting is over - for another month at least.

Good luck to all still going to test at the weekend! I shall stay tuned to hear the good news Lots of love and baby dust to all

Still no Af for me Wishing, how frustrating is it when you get a BFN but AF decides to muck you about a hide for a bit longer

I just want to get onto next month too.

quick message ladies - hi to all btw!

i have just been to loo, no af but lots of sticky white cervical mucus - sorry for tmi but what the hell is going on??

Hiya Wishing, not sure what's going on down there but I noticed I had some EWCM stuff again yesterday (just a little) and I googled and found that it's indicative of AF as it's a rise of estrogen due to the corpus luteum breaking down (I think!). So that's why I think AF is still coming for me but I'm not sure what sticky CM means? That sounds better than EWCM tho!

Hope it's a good sign anyway. Still no AF for me, I don't get it, it's now bloody CD 36!

oh great! i was hoping it was more likely to be that it wasnt coming! i dont normally have that!! have also started with constipation today which is not comfortable - why do i have all these symptoms, i seriously cannot be imagining them all! i am crying over this one minute then getting excited the next!!

Still keep hanging in there Wishing! I hope I haven't made you more worried now. Well I'm definately out now, AF arrived straight after my last post At least now I can focus on the next month but I'm thinking in all likelihood we will need to use our frozen embies to get lucky again. Oh well we will have fun trying in the meantime!

Are you thinking about doing another HPT?

oh sorry to hear that sleeves - but at same time i envy you - you now whats going on a bit now! and move on - just bought a cheapie supermaret own test was guna do it now but didnt seem much point now im home - i should be able to hang on till for fmu at least!! im shooting off to my 2nd job now so i should be kept busy at least!!

You havet made me any wore sleeves dont worry - i found the opposite on google but if you got some 2 maybe af is on the way!!

either way i can then move on, i told myself i wasnt going to get like this this month but loos like i have failed in that as well!

when af arrives we should start a new thread!!xxxxxxxxx

Sorry slimy - maybe do what Pezzina did and console yourself with a small glass of vino.
Wishing - you still doing an hpt tomorrow? I bought some today and am going to test tomorrow morning. I'm rubbish at waiting

Wishing - don't want to get your hopes up but I was pg (briefly) in March and had lots of creamy CM in days before and week after AF due and get same just after I have the hcg injection. I read it's supposed to be the body creating a barrier to block the entrance to womb. Fertility friend says you can't tell the difference though. Good luck.

Sorry slimy and pezzina - baby dust your way for next month.

Good luck with your test ladylush. I'm rubbish at waiting too - did another this morning and still BFN, so shall wait until AF due on Sat now. Temp should drop tomorrow so will know anyway. Still feeling sick tho.

thans izzy!! dont worry i wont get too excited ive read postives and negatives! been googling like mad!! - right now i feel its never going to happen !! but i must stay positive and it aint over till its over eh sleeves!!

i think im guna test in morning again lady lush, my boobs have startefd to really hurt at work and constipation is in nfull swing - i am really regular a few times a day so not to go at all is not normal for me! plus over last few days i have realised im becoming totally dizzy!! - but maybe thats just due to constantly having all this on my mind!!

hope everyone else ok - sleeves, are you planning ahead for next month?? hope af isnt cauwsing you too much - sending you big hugs!! xxxxxxx

Umm, that point about the EWCM near your period isn't right. EWCM before ovulation is due to a rise in estrogen, EWCm before ovulation is less clear but probably due to corpus luteum breaking down, and hence a drop in progesterone.

Wishing you luck tomorrow morning wishing!

it isnt like ewcm though its like somthing ive never had before?? its not stretchy at all its very thick and condensed - sorry tmi i know!

x

Wishing - that sounds like what I had back in March (sorry was wrong of me to say creamy - I forget that creamy/sticky etc have different meanings). TMI warning - also it was an odd colour - very slight yellow/green tinge. I remember because I was a bit worried I'd somehow got an STD - given that I'm having DI due to being wrong side of 35 and lack of DP I was very confused. I'd only had one attempt so I was dismissing thoughts of it being pg related. big hugs and good luck with the test tomorrow.

Interesting about the EWCM - I get watery CM just before AF and had wondered why, but that makes sense.

Morning all. Sorry to hear AF arrived for you Sleeves. Looks like we'll have to start a new thread! Wishing - any news?

Just looking for an update from Wishing too.....? How's it going??? Hope you have good news!
