Congratulations LeeWT so happy for you

I feel in limbo too Pippinn had some crampy pains today, feels like AF but as from LeeWT it doesn't mean AF. Day 28 and fingers still crossed.

Lets hope there's some more BFP's soon

LeeWT how many DPO were you when you started getting your first symptoms?

Report

LeeWT · 05/08/2009 20:47

to be honest i felt like i was pregnant but had no symptoms from like 5dpo and thats how i got so obsessive.. i got the implantation cramps about 10 or 11dpo and when af didnt come after those i really got my hopes up. even avoided the powerplate and jacuzzi in the gym despite getting BFNs..

but like everything its a guessing game..

really fancy a dominos right now but cant blame that on the bean!

going to drs tomorrow to try and get really positive BFP cross fingers!

Well AF now 4 days late but had another BFN this morning so have no idea what's going on! Had convinced myself I was preggo as have been feeling sicky, my stomach is bloated, my boobs are bigger and I'm completely exhausted.

Can't face any more negative tests so will leave it a week and hope AF has shown up by then. I can only assume it's my body getting back to normal after stopping the pill, although I had regular periods before going on it and got pregnant straight away last time. Oh well

Me too Pippin!

I have felt super sick and woozy for the last ten days but this morning I tried a Clearblue Digital and it was a BFN.

I can't understand it (does that sound mad?!) I'm so sure I'm pregnant.

I've never felt sick over an extended period of time, yesterday I felt crampy and like my lower abdomen felt really heavy (if that makes sense). I'm now on cd34. That's the longest my cycle has been since my Implanon was removed so I don't really expect it to be any longer.

It's so frustrating! LeeWT how many tests did you do before you got your BFP?

Report

LeeWT · 06/08/2009 18:27

polkadotty you have no idea how many negative tests.. but i was obsessively testing which i dont recommend. if i didnt get a bfp i'd already agreed with myself to move all tests out of the house to make it hard. OR to buy one expensive test so i'd only use it if i was late.

its so tough tho. dont lose hope til the fat lady sings!

SnowBunny1 · 06/08/2009 19:21

Me Too!! A bit sick feeling and gone off coffee and wine! The cramps stopped quite quickly but did another test today and BFN

I'm on CD 30 now and same as you Pippinn last time after stopping the pill was regular straight away and BFP first try (ended in mc thought) so I know it happens. I just want to know either way.

I did find some cheaper tests, from Waitrose of all places so not spending quite so much now!

Lets all try and keep positive and giving out good baby vibes whilst we wait it out

Asda and Sainsbury's own tests are meant to be really good for early BFPs.

uuurrrgghhh I feel so ill!

Yesterday I got those tell tale cramps and I thought - oh well at least the fat lady is singing and we can start again but when i went to the loo i had horrific upset stomach but no sign of AF. Boy was I in serious pain though!

Felt dreadful all evening.

This morning I felt better but my stomach is seriously unsettled making dreadful gurgling sounds, back pain and nausea.

Now just had another bout of upset belly, doubled over in agony with again the most awful cramps. Still no AF though.

Could this be a symptom or am I just ill?!

LeeWT · 07/08/2009 23:22

well polkadotty you just described exactly what happened to me last week and bfp this week. that said you know as well as i that AF is a sneaky witch so guess you wont know til you test. i got faint line 2-3 days after the cramps (implantation) and less faint ones 4-6 days after

good luck

Hi everyone! Well, yesterday I had some brownish spotting so thought AF had arrived, and was actually quite relieved as at least I knew then and could stop wondering 'Am I, aren't I?' But today there's no sign at all of AF and spotting has stopped Aaaarrrggghhhh Anyone any idea what that's all about??!

Has anyone had any good news yet? It's beginning to drive me a bit bonkers now..!

Report

Pippinn · 08/08/2009 15:55

Hmmm just been reading about implantation bleeding and am wondering (hopefully!) if it could be that..??! Looking back I had loads if EWCM about a week and a half ago which theoretically could have been late ovulation due to it being first month off the pill - or am I just madly clutching at straws?

Anyway, am currently suffering with cramps so perhaps AF is on her way afterall in which case I can stop obsessing (again, theoretically)

Report

polkadotty · 09/08/2009 18:38

Sounds promising to me Pippinn!

I'm startinging to wonder if that EWCM I had on cd 28ish wasn't in actual fact OV (as I had no symptoms of OV when I would expect to), which would explain why I then got BFNs on cd 29 and 34, if implantation didn't actually occur until cd35 (when I had dreadful cramps). I hope you're right LeeWT and that I too will get a BFP next week if AF doesn't get me before then!

LeeWT - how are you feeling?

Report

LeeWT · 09/08/2009 19:17

looks like polkadotty and pippin have the same symptoms ooo could be another bfp!

i am feeling ok thanks, suffered with nausea quite a bit today. keep needing a sleep in the afternoon/evening which is not really a good solution with a toddler, cant abandon dh every night after work! will have to struggle through.

am taking it as a good sign that boobs are sore and im hungry-sick-hungry-sick in that order!

hows everyone else doing?! xxx

Pippinn · 09/08/2009 20:34

Cramps stopped but still no AF...! Trying not to get excited as had decided I wasn't preggo this month but can't help getting my hopes up a bit!

Any news Polkadotty?

Hope you're feeling ok LeeWT. I've been having afternoon naps for the past few days too, aren't they fab!

Report

polkadotty · 09/08/2009 21:25

Aaah LeeWT, how exciting! I know that feeling poorly is tough, but it probably brings you some relief all is going well.

I'm actually feeling better than I have done for a few weeks, the last few days I've felt very fragile, so it's nice to feel ok again.

Fingers crossed Pippinn that we'll be the next on this thread with the BFPs!

sky27 · 09/08/2009 21:41

Woke up feeing really sicky this mornin so did my last test and got a BFN so that's me out for this month. Good luck everyone else

Report

polkadotty · 11/08/2009 08:54

Oh Pippinn I'm sorry to hear that

I've still had no sign of AF, had dreadful cramps and upset stomach again yesterday and am on cd39. (so am between 11 and 5 days late)

I've decided I'm just going to wait and see. If AF shows up then I'll know and if it doesn't then in a week or two I might be tempted to test again but at the moment, ignorance is almost bliss!

I don't want another BFN!

Good luck everyone!
