A new thread to discourage early testing.

So, STEP AWAY ladies!

It is sperm friendly lubricant

Hi all. Hope you're all OK.
I still have AF at CD 17

Angelfifi · 14/07/2009 13:58

Hi all,
Sorry nunnie damn af, fingers crossed for next month.
Blimey clwc long time for af to hang around, do you feel ok?

Clwc · 14/07/2009 22:44

I feel fine, Angelfifi. Thank-you for asking I'm tired a lot, but I think that's been the same for a long time (PCOS related). If I had pains that felt more severe than ovulation, I'd be straight down the doc's.

It's light, and the day before yesterday I thought it was stopping, but it wasn't. I think the same today. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Hey there Clwc, how horrible - are your periods normally so long? If not, get theeself down to the docs...apart from anything else you could be getting anaemic which could explain why you're so tired (along with the PCOS). Bug hugs. Hope she goes away soon. x

Bug hugs? NOOOOOO! I meant BIG hugs!

Clwc · 15/07/2009 11:10

As long as they're not big bug hugs, PL! lol.

Usually, when I'm feeling a bit anaemic, I crave a nice fillet steak. I haven't been craving anything.

The doc will just say, "It's normal with PCOS" and "Wait until your appointment at the clinic on the 31st".

If I do feel ill or in pain, I'll go, but I feel OK. In fact, I'm going to the gym today. Perhaps a good workout will flush everything out.

They aren't normally this long, but I did take Clomid in April and May, which could have messed everything up. And it's light, so it isn't as though I'm losing gallons of blood.

I don't want anyone to worry. x

ReneRusso · 16/07/2009 09:36

you know the answer to that Angelfifi - but can you wait that long?

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 09:45

I'm trying to stay away renerusso but it's harrrrd!!1
Just not liking that single line staring back at me..

ReneRusso · 16/07/2009 10:01

Try to think of some distracting activities. Would you like to sort my laundry? It's such a drag isn't it. I'm on CD17

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 10:03

How long is your cycle? When are you due to test?

lucygrif · 16/07/2009 10:09

angel we are cycle buddies then!! I'm also due monday, and have a test in the kitchen cupboard that has been screaming at me for the last 48 hours!! we can keep each other strong!! I have sore boobs again, so I don't think I'm in the running this month despite BDing EVERY day!!
Consultant not til Mon evening - will mention the egg sharing thing to them but I think we would both prefer to try IUI first as its less invasive.

ReneRusso · 16/07/2009 10:10

26 day cycle so not til about Sunday 26th. Seems like lightyears away. I don't have much hope really for this month - just beginning to think there may be a problem, been trying 8 months. Also used a possibly non-sperm friendly lubricant at a crucial time. Silly, wasn't thinking.

ReneRusso · 16/07/2009 10:12

crikey lucygrif, BDing every day . You deserve a medal

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 10:18

Lets be strong lucy i have to say i'm finding it hard not to test today, don't know why as i know it will be neg as it's to early, have you managed to stay far away from the dreaded tests!!

lucygrif · 16/07/2009 10:24

yep, trying to be strong until Sunday!!

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 10:24

I have a 10miu cheapie test in the cupboard, are they as sensitive as they actually say?

lucygrif · 16/07/2009 10:38

as far as I know yes

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 12:36

Ohhh what is one to do if they are it should show up pos by now shouldnt it....

Clwc · 16/07/2009 12:50

Ah, but if you only have one left....

Angelfifi · 16/07/2009 12:54

I reallly don't want to test because there is nothing worse than seeing that single line laughing at me saying you muppet!! Think i will try to be strong and not test!
How are you clwc has af stopped yet?

Clwc · 16/07/2009 13:05

Not yet. She keeps promising to, but lets me down every time. It's CD 19 now.

PistachioLemon · 17/07/2009 08:32

So has anyone caved and tested?
