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 .

Emotionally I feel crap. Physically I feel ok. No cramps, just twinges - which could be because I'm constipated! Sorry if tmi

Fingers crossed for you ladylush. Try not to worry, spotting around the time of your period in the first few months is meant to be common, especially if no cramping.

Wishing - they are the same strength but your hcg may have risen so it may still be worth testing with fmu tomorrow. If you now think you're due on Tuesday then maybe wait until then. I still think your CM is a really good sign.

Good luck both (and others still waiting).

thanks izzy; i reaslly dont get this lady lush cause im the same,

constipation is really bad and causing really painful stomach cramps. cm is in abundnace and white, boobs are tender but not all the time, but are increasingly veiny! im very tierd, very irritable and very emotional. i keep getting bad headaches and the thought of some foods has turned my stomach?!?! but another bfn - would hcg really increase that much by tomorrow??

thanks issy. Wishing - does rather sound like you might be pregnant. Try and delay testing til tomorrow. Most women do get an accurate result on the day their period is due.

Good morning all. Used my fancy clearblue digital easy from the giveaway on here, and got a 'pregnant 1-2' this morning. Which is about right since it will be 2 weeks on weds (I know for sure because we did IVF and collection was on weds). Feeling rather nervous as I've had 3 previous pregnancies, only 1 of which resulted in a full-term live baby, so just hoping gently for now.

Hope wishing you get good news this morning.

Excellent news thaliablogs
I'm going to test tomorrow unless AF arrives. Am on cd 31 but unsure because last 2 cycles were 35, then 20. Usually 30 until these last 2 so here's hoping!
Have got some symptoms so hopefully I am not imagining them!

congrats!! thaliablogs that is fab news! hope this is a sticky bean for you!! congratulations again!!

I Darent test agin, this is killing me - feel so sick today but have a horrible feeling it will be another bfn - can i really be imagining all this??

im clutching at straws i know i am deepn down, i have to move on this month at get on with things, i will update you ladies with an af or a bfp whichever arrives forst, but i have a feeling it will be the af!!

than you for all your patience, you have been a huge support but i need to face facts and get a grip!!

xxxxxxxxx

Congratulations thaliablogs - that is great news

Wishing - I'll be waiting to hear your news. All your symptons sound so positive so don't give up yet. When are you planning to test again?

aideesmum - good luck with your testing tomorrow!

Good luck for those testing tomorrow

Thanks all for your support but AF arrived bright and early this morning
Oh well, I guess I'll be back in a couple of weeks.
Good luck to all of you x

Oh dear sorry to hear that Wishing? Any news?

Congratulations thaliablogs - that's great news.

Sorry to hear about your AF arriving aidessmum, I'll be back in a few weeks too, so see you then.

Ladylush - hope your spotting has stopped. Fingers crossed for you.

Wishing - any news?

Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Congrats thaliablogs
Thanks Issy. My spotting is minimal today. It's a yellow/orange colour - weird. Went to GP today to get my thyroxine increased in line with guidelines for treatment of pg women. So much effort to get him to agree, but eventually he did up it by 25mcg. Want to do everything I can to minimise risk of m/c (can't control nature). He also referred me for early pg scan but I hope it is in 2 weeks at least as no point me going before that.

Ladylush - Glad it's subsiding. An early pg scan to confirm the pregnancy is part of my fertility treatment and last time they told me it couldn't be done until after 6 weeks pg as they can't see anything before then. The cynic in me thinks that it has more to do with their stats than patient welfare, so yours may have a different timing.

nothing ladies, still no af but not tested again, seeing the week out! thanks for thinking of me though, i will keep in touch!

exhausted today and still plenty of cm - also servix seem tight and higher?? it think?? is this another sign?? im also still very emotional!!

love to allxxxxxxx

Lots of willpower Wishing - most impressed
Issy, have had loads of early scans before and really the only point in me having one before 6 weeks would be to rule out an ectopic. At 5 weeks they will identify a blastocyst only. They usually want you back at 7 weeks so they can see heartbeat, though have heard this sometimes visible at 6 weeks.
I feel like a bit of a hypochondriac but now I think I've got a vaginal infection. I suppose it could be thrush, but it's a bit different to what I've had before. Usually I get cottage cheese type discharge but none of that this time. Getting an ammonia type smell, redness around vulva and slight irritation feeling. Sorry if tmi Think I will get it checked out tomorrow.

Just dropped in to see how you are all doing. You are still hanging on Wishing, wow! No AF is great, I have a feeling you are pregnant!

Congrats to Thaliablogs and sorry to see you got a BFN aideesmum. Ladylush, i hope you are feeling OK and you can get things checked out tomorrow

hey sleeves glad to see a post for you - thans for thinking of me, still no af cd 36 today, the longest ive had but not counting my chickens just yet - aim to test satuday if af holds out!!

sorry to hear about discomfort ladylush, thrush is common - hope you get it sorted quickly

love to allxxxxxx

God wishing you have balls of steel
I went to NHS walk in centre today. They couldn't do a swab but they did test my urine. All fine. Nurse said it could be Thrush (didn't look at it though) and no harm in using the combi treatment in pregnancy. If I want a swab I need to go to G.P. It seems better today though. I will wait and see. No spotting since Tuesday so very pleased about that.

oh so nothing to worryabout ladylush then!! glad no more spotting either - told you you got a sticky bean!!!!

its more exaustion than balls of steel hhahahahaha ive done nowt 4 2 days and im still knackered!!?? im thinking i must be now??

another bfn with clearblue digital and first response!! im sleeping so much? i feel sick all day. i just dont get this!!!!

aaaaarrrrggggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!

got a blood test just got back from hosp and should hear monday the result, dr thinks i have Tyroid problem and that i arent pg at all, this is just my imagination cos i want to be so much!! dh and i have also just fallen out so im now sat here on my own crying and still none the wiser!! no news there then!! i also feel that the pg is slipping further away - dr says it is impossible for it not to show on a hpt test and wasnt willing to te4st hormones at all, just wanted to test for my throid - until mi started to cry!!

i tried mentioning that i no where people have not had a bfp for 8/12 weeks with a hpt but he said those are just not true, if if wont show on hpt it isnt there basically oh he then went on to say tht hcg levels probably arent detectable in blood levels yet either!?!?!?! well at least i got the blood test - just to wait till monday now!!

wishing - hang on in there sweetie. Don't despair yet. At least when you get your blood test back on Monday you will know for certain one way or the other. I really feel for you though - its the not knowing whats going on that drives us potty.

Try to relax this weekend - make up with your DH and have lots of snuggles.

Sending you big (((((((hugs))))))). xx
