Yay Becc! I'm glad you're going to cave because it's looking really good for you - crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes until tomorrow morning for you
I used to test early. Now I figure there's no point literally flushing that money down the toilet when I have a free test that's pretty reliable- AF. If AF isn't on time, then I'll test.
I don't want to have spent all my money POAS, get pregnant and have no money left to buy a cot! lol.
Becc - I POAS on 9dpo and it was BFN but I also didn't use FMU I'm listening to my body at the moment and it's saying "batten down the hatches - AF's on her way" I have a 16 day luteal phase so I'm not expecting AF until Monday but I feel exactly the same as I have for the last 3 cycles and I wasn't preg for any of them.
LSK - I used to be an obsessive tester but there's just been too many years of disappointment so now I hate it with a passion - I seem to take it better when AF arrives.
Bonnie - LOL @ spending all your cot money on 'P' sticks
Hi Ladies...
I haven't been posting but just lurking.. I don't get too much in the sympton department so I tend to just hibernate until AF arrives.. As for the to POAS or not to POAS.. I'm a non P#sser... I'm the same as you Bonnie.. I wait for AF but my reasoning is that if it's a neg I never accept that it's over anyway..and Ditto Kylie with the too many years thing... Only a positive or AF is the final answer for me.. So I figured why torture myself.. In saying that though.. I bought a 3 pack of HPT's on Monday.. i haven't touched them.. I'm due Saturday or Sunday.. Not feeling too confident... Good luck Bec for tomorrow I hope it's BFP for you straight up.. And goodluck over the weekend Kylie.. I hope it doesn't drag too much.. How are you Tammara.. I hope you're travelling well and to LSK.. Thank you so much for holding our hands and keeping us company and giving us hope.. We certainly need it..
huuuugsssssss miss c'box- i never will forget how much personal heartache, sadness and frustration i felt with ttc esp with assisted conception . the only thing i know is that when we get our bubba, it seems sooooooooo much sweeter than haveing concieved with outany help at all. because WE know we have earnt and prayed harder and for longer.
I thought I better say - that I decided not too do the test and wait, otherwise if I got a negative i would be obsessive ever morning. I hate doing them, they make you upset when you get negative so often.
lol Bec - I saw you had posted and thought.. Woo hoo we have a result.. Good for you not testing though... I always had this picture in my head of being late and going to buy a test.. Bringing it home and telling DH I was late at which point he would get all excited.. I would do the test then DH would stand with me as we watched the second line come up... Kinda hasn't happened like this so far.. Maybe in a couple of days I can have my perfect scenario... Yeah.. I know.. I'm a nutter...
I hope you are all well... for some good news soon...

Hi Dee - yeah it was hard!! So I am trying not to do anything until next week! Yep I can see that scenario too - but as for you it hasn't happened that way either for us! Fingers crossed for you. I hope it is a good result this month. I am starting to feel like AF is on its way, so not feeling as positive as I was a few days ago. Oh well - it is a waiting game!
Hey everyone, im going ok. I have not been able to start charting my cycle or my ovulation because the last 2 months were VERY much all over the place. Things seem to have settled down a little (touch wood) so im hoping when i get AF i can start the clomid and also get the xray and ultrasound done then go get some more information about what is going on with me. I have to admit i think i would be a tester ad i am VERY impatiant and would not be able to wait.
Game over.. I've got tingeing and cramps this afternoon and I expect the full force of her rage tomorrow.. It has hit me pretty hard cause this was the last strike before heading to IVF and I was trying to be positive and it's now come crashing down.. I'm guttered.. I left work straight away... DH doesn't get it.. he just holds me while and cry and says we'll get there.. I said "Can you please just let me cry and be angry for at least a minute before expecting me to move forward".. So i'm here typing and listening to hello Mr Heartache by the Dixie Chicks and wallowing in my own self pity.. I guess i'd better snap out of it cause I have a girls night out at a Caberet restaurant and had better start getting ready... Sorry for the me post...I hope you all have more sucess than I have.. i'll keep an eye on you all as I can't wait to see the BFP's rolling in.. good luck...

i folks, i think i posted in the wrong topic earlier this week i didnt see this one, oops.
i am on day 7 of my first clomid cycle.
no side effects thank goodness because its just not what i need right now, except at night when i get home my left ovary side seems to ache a bit like AF pain.
Dee - I'm so sorry hon Good luck with IVF and please keep us updated on how you're travelling. I'll be heading the same way sooner or later so I'm very interested in the process. Take some time for yourself over the next couple of days and make it ALL about you!
Musik - Welcome! I know exactly what you mean about the AF pain in your ovaries, mine starts at about CD 4 and is pretty much on & off all cycle. I figure it's a good thing cos at least you know your Ovaries are active. I hope your stay here is short and sweet
Tammara - I hope things straighten out for you soon so you can get on with the Clomid
AFM - Nothing new, just waiting for AF but I'm VERY VERY teary! I've banned myself from watching the news cos I end up ... oh the joys of feral hormones LOL!
Sorry to hear your news Dee, if it is anything at least you know that we can totally understand why you feel the way you do. Im sure i speak for the others when i say not to worry about your "me" post, if it helps then i say type away.

That really does suck. I've been down about AF arriving too. It's such a disappointment.
