I spoke too soon:

It's Groundhog day !

negative test and no af.
I had extreme bad lower back pain all yesterday, and pregnancy tests today confirm that the possible pregancy is over. I just have to wait for the rotten af to arrive now.

Louisesh - I hope you have better news for me than I have for you today.

louisesh · 25/01/2009 11:09

Soo sorry RAINBOWDAYS its crap isn t it?

I still have no news STILL no AF or BFP1!!! Soo convinced i m not pg now surely it should be showing up as positive now????

Think my stomach cramps were ibs which i have ans is often excerbated by stress so all that would add up.

Now really fed up with the whole "shebang" just wishing for Af now only 10 days till we go to Egypt and want some closure either way SOON

Take care of yourself and indulge yourself catch up soon

Morning, everyone else

louisesh · 25/01/2009 11:11

Oh that "angry face" wasn t directed at you!!! It summing up how i feel!!!!

Numberfour · 25/01/2009 11:51

Hi, All
Hope you're okay, rainbowdays and louisesh. I am bit behind date wise than you but I feel so similar, so I can only imagine how hard it must be for you.
Also neg for me and no AF. And to top it all, DH says he does not want another.

I also am starting to feel that I want to get back to normal.

rainbowdays · 25/01/2009 21:18

Well I am now officially out of groundhog day, bleeding has started. So at least I know where I am at now.

Louisesh - I hope you get an answer soon. I will hang around here to support you till you get your answer. Having come this far with you I am not leaving you yet.

Number4 - you are due af this week is that right?

louisesh · 26/01/2009 12:26

It s GROUNDHOG DAY!!!! AGAIN still BFN BUT no AF!!!!!Soo sorry for you Rainbowdays but as you say at least you ve got some closure now [just sorry its the wrong closure] You got any other DC?

Thanks very much for your support DH trys [is very trying!!!] but they can t understand can they? I just want to be back in control of my body not the other way round!!!

Hi Numberfour hope you re ok today

Numberfour · 26/01/2009 14:38

Hi, Rainbow and Louise
Yes, due this week. Nothing yet. Neg First Response on Sun morning. In bed at 7pm because i was shattered. Woke at 12.30 and I felt green so I had some cereal. Today I am tired and little nauseous.

Rainbow, I do hope that you're okay. Must be really hard - I also hope that your DP is understanding and supportive.

Louisesh: hang in there. There has to be an answer one way or the other.

louisesh · 26/01/2009 16:46

Good luck numberfour keep testing away!!!! LOL

Numberfour · 27/01/2009 06:24

no AF
BFN

hope you're okay, Rainbow!
and Louise!

louisesh · 27/01/2009 12:35

Well totally and utterely pi..ed off with the gp and EPAU. Went to drs this am saw some crap gp who i had to tell what i wanted her to do!!!! She promoised to ring me back at linch time she didn t!!! I was then informed from her that i didn t fit EPAUS criteria for an early scan!!!

I rung EPAU to speak with the sister there they won t scan me as too early and i was informed to go on holiday next week was my choice and i could "just " cancel my holiday , like you can "just" afford to loose £8oo!!! They suggested repeating my hcg blood tests at the gp as i niformed them i could and would get that done at work soo had the same done by one of my colleagues!!!

Bloody lot of them no use..... The worst thing is i work as a specialist sister in the same trust and was still cut no slack!!!!Where i work we bend over backwards to help patients but again seems like we re the only people!!!

Bloody idiots!!!!

Hope everyone else is ok still BFN and NO af!!!!!

Numberfour · 27/01/2009 14:34

unbloodybelieveable. no wonder you are peed off. when do you leave for Egypt again?

what does your blood test say?

rainbowdays · 27/01/2009 15:01

Louisesh - , how could they leave you hanging like that. So unfair. I wish there was something that I could say that would help. But I know there is nothing that can be said that can support you here. Did the blood test show up anything?

My advice would be to go on holiday anyway, but just try to be careful with food/drink, just incase you are one of the rare people that have a baby without getting a positive pregnancy test. It is so hard. And no matter how un-mn-ish it is I do want to send you a {{{{hug}}}}} anyway, and say vent away here, we are listening.

louisesh · 27/01/2009 21:18

Thanks v.much you 2 .Beta hcg bloods came up as

Numberfour · 28/01/2009 07:30

Louisesh, you'll have a brilliant time in Egypt! Lucky you going there. Always wanted to, myself.... sorry about the blood tests being neg.
Nothing here either. All the symptoms, but no AF and neg tests day after day. Costing me a frigging fortune.

Rainbow: hope you're okay

rainbowdays · 28/01/2009 11:01

Louisesh - sorry to hear that you are still in limbo land. It is most likely that you are having a wierd annovulatory cycle, but that is so so so annoying. I don't want to raise any false hope but it is possible to get negative / low blood tests and still be pg, it happens very rarely but it does happen. So I guess I am saying until af shows its ugly face, just take care of yourself. I hope that you are able to go on Tuesday and keep busy enough to forget about it and enjoy your holiday. No matter what I will be waiting to hear how it went.

I will still hang around here, so you can come and vent if you need to.

numberfour - are you not using the cheap ebay tests? You will go bankrupt if you are not careful . When was af due?

louisesh · 28/01/2009 17:57

Hi Rainboedays Hope you re well.No AF still up and down.Yes definatly off to Egypt on Tues and going to ENJOY myself with plenty of drinking and food!!!! Will check in before then.Hear what you re saying about remote chance of BFP bot for my sanity i ve stopped testing now.If i an i am thats the way i m going to look at it now!!!!

Hope you re not too down???

Hi NUMBERFOUR Whens your AF due??? Fingers crossed for you.Egypt is lovely went to harm el Sheik last year off to Hurgurda now for some "lovely" sun.Are you testing everyday? If you ve got a "pound" shop near you they do testing strips for funnily enough £1!!!

Take care both of you

rainbowdays · 28/01/2009 19:08

Louisesh - believe it or not, I am actually feeling quiet positive today. I think it was so horrible being in the groundhog day situation, that just knowing,even though not great news, is easier than being in the not knowing situation. I am feeling confident for my next cycle, and ready to start ttc again very soon.

Numberfour · 28/01/2009 20:11

Hi again

AF due 26 / 27 Jan. Not feeling preg at all today!

Been using clear blue and first reponse tests, Louise. Spent bloody £40 on tests already! reckon i should give it a break for a bit. getting really fed up. but today, my nipples are really sore and tender - or is that a bit yuck to tell you??? bet you've been wondering all day how No4's nipples are!!!

louisesh · 28/01/2009 20:47

Hi you 2!!!!!

Yes NUMBERFOUR thats been my main and only thought today "how your nipples are!!!" and i don t mean any "funny" business !!!LOL

Glad you er ok and feeling positive today RAINBOWDAYS on we go!!!!

Numberfour · 28/01/2009 21:53

getting crampy period type pains

i have one test left. wonder if i should use it tomorrow if no AF or save for later??? cannot keep on buying the frigging things (although i am saving on not buying wine!! cannot bear the thought)

rainbowdays · 28/01/2009 22:30

number4 - phew, thats expensive, after so many previous obsessions with testing, I soon learnt to buy loads of ebay cheapies and only test with the more expensive tests when I thought there was a line on the cheap tests!!!! I would be totally broke if I tested with the expensive tests every time I tested! If I were you I think saving the expensive test is a good idea, if you did not get even a hint of a line on the previous tests then you need to leave it a couple of days before another expensive test. But that is just my cheap-skate opinion . But your symptoms sound good, including those nipples!!!!

Numberfour · 29/01/2009 06:30

yes, I should stop using the expensive ones. just pouring money down the loo and we can ill afford it.

no AF this morning, but i am not testing today.

not really crampy, but i did feel sick a short while after waking - which was 5am when DS 4.3 wet our bed.....

rainbowdays · 29/01/2009 20:03

Louisesh - how are you today?

louisesh · 30/01/2009 15:40

Hi Rainbowdays i m fine didn t get chance to check in y.day had friends round for tea last night.STILL no AF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not testing anymore no point. Think when i return from Egypt i m going to ask one of my colleagues to check my bloods for my fsh and lh levels particularly if i ve not come on.

hOPE NUMBERFOUR ok??? Off out tonught with family catch up soon.

Numberfour · 31/01/2009 11:08

AF started last night. My eyes look like I have done 10 rounds with Mike Tyson!

Anyway, that's the way it was meant to be, I suppose.

Louisesh, have you started yet? And Rainbow, how are things with you?
