How did you feel @ 11dpo?

I wasn't going to post this, but ah bugger it! I need to! :lol:

I've had cramps the last 3 days on and off throughout the day and also nausea. Last night the nausea was quite bad when I went to bed and woke up it was still here! I feel good now except that I have pretty bad cramps.... they don't feel like AF cramps but different, and quite SHARP PAINS like being stabbed in different places! AF is due tomorrow. so this is out of character for me as I never get cramps UNTIL AF hits. I will be testing at the end of the week. I could test tomorrow but nah, I won't put myself through it just yet.... :rolleyes:

I just feel like these pains are so uncomfortable right now!!! Could it be embedding into my uterus if I am UTD???? I am quite sure I implanted 3 days ago, Sat.

I've also had tender BBs the last 2 days but today they weren't as sore however they felt like needles! Strange if you ask me!!! :dunno:

The reason I'm posting, is to ask what were your symptoms at 11dpo (or there abouts) before you got your :bfp:??

TIA,
Ren

Ahh Renee!!! You're going to drive yourself crazy! LOL :lol:

Celsie. xoxox

Too late..... :cryinglaugh: I'm alright.... I pretty much do this every month anyway

Oooh Renee, hope you don't mind me popping in, but just wanted to say good luck this month! It all sounds very promising, but I guess only time will tell (hopefully very soon ;) ). I got very strong symptoms around the same time as you - cramping, sore BBs and I broke out in pimples EVERYWHERE. I really hope this is it for you!! :D

Test, test, test!!!

I got my positive on 11DPO and I started getting pains... they were low down, sharp pains. Fingers crossed!

Ok at 11DPO I had nausea, heartburn, sore boobs and gassy.

I had nausea from 6DPO
heartburn from 4DPO
sore boobs from 8DPO
gassy from 8DPO

HTH.

hugs xoxo

Thanks Trish! What DPO did you test? Do you remember? Yeah i have broken out in pimples today it's awful! but i did use an exfolation facewash on sunday so maybe that did it too...

It was so long ago...I tested about 2 days before AF was due (so around 12DPO), but got a BFN. I tested again a few days later and got a BFP - on Feb 16th last year to be exact!

ETA - Ooo you could have an Octobub too!

Hey Renstar,
I'm 12dpo. I so here you.
Yesterday i got off the chair quick and i got the sharpest stab in my tummy it nearly floored me. Then this morning i stretched in bed and i did it again. OUCH. My boobs are really sore. Today i had a migraine. And the nausea...ewwww. Heartburnish. All the thoughts in my head are driving me crazy. I could test thursday but i am forcing myself to wait until Saturday. So i don't keep wasting HPT. If i am pregnant on thursday I'll only be more so on Saturday, but the waiting is a killer. Goodluck my love.
I'll keep a look out for you

Thanks beck. I wish you all the very best with getting a BFP. My AF is on it's way :crying: I got my temp dropped again today 36.2 (see chart) its not looking good at all..... I'm out this month again.... onto cycle 5......I really thought this was my month hey.....

Pollyanna - i would have loved to got a BFP with you! I hope you get your;s i really do,..... good luck (i had that sharp pain in my abdomen when stretching too the other day it hurt)

:hug: Hugs Renee. Hang in there, I'm sure it will happen for you soon. Now go and do something nice for yourself today, you deserve it! :)

Oh damn :(

Ohhhh Renstar,
I am so sorry to hear ... Big hugs for you.
Just realised i got my dates wrong and i should be due today(Wed). But i have a job interview today so I'm trying to stay focused on one task at a time. I'm really sorry this wasnt your month..

Well girls,
thats me out for this month.:(
Af showed her ugly head this afternoon. Of course i couldnt wait till saturday to do the test so did one this morning and negative-of course. My periods are just horrendous with all these fertility drugs. i really thought if i wasnt pregnant this month that i would die and fall into a bumbling mess. But i have been brave and coped.But i did treat myself tonight with some red wine,and i enjoyed it a lot. It is so hard to not get angry when it seems like there is all this intervention,and nothing. No result. It feels like a waste of my time being at the consultations,a waste of doing all those needles. i even feel i'm wasting the fs time. Like i'm hopeless. What is wrong with me. Why won't my body DO this one thing for me. I know i should be grateful for what i have but i want another child.:cry: More than anything ever.Life can be really really cruel sometimes. And you know life can be really cruel sometimes. There are beautiful pregnant women everywhere.As for all my other girls. i hope that your Af is on her way out,and hasnt given you too much grief. I really thought there'd be a few of us going through together this month. Not to be.I hope all you other girls are coping better with the let down.
Big hugs for everyone.
Pauline

Renstar, just read your post and sorry its not your month, hang in there and hope the next cycle is the one!!

Polly, I was thinking of you the other day and wondering how you go, sorry to hear AF arrived. I feel exactly the same after my 1st stim cycle and feel that I couldn't go on especially after what we have been through (drugs and needles and b/ts) and the build-up of the anticipations...so disappointing...but I bounced back quickly and surprised myself and guess what, I had an enormous satisfaction of drinking wine, coffee and eating sashimi afterwards...Hope to hear good news from you soon!

Thanks BeiBei,
God the thing i hate so much about these stim cycles in how bad af hits. She is like a tornado. Spent most of today in bed. Spoke to my fs last night. He said well thats enough mucking about,lets do IUI. i'm really nervous. At first i said no way. Then i slept on it. I am 38. Who am i kidding?I obviously need all the help i can get. So back on the Gonal f train in a few days. I was wondering babe where are you at with your cycle at the moment. Are you waiting or Af flowing? TMI..PS
What happens with you now, will you do another FET cycle?

REnstar,
Hey girl. How was Af;just a flying visit i hope. So girl what happens to you now?What has your FS said to you?Hope you girls had a nice weekend....

oh Polly :hug: I didn't see your post until just now.... I'm so sorry AF showed... how long you been ttc now? (if you don't mind).... I didn't cope very well at all the day before AF showed up, i had a really bad day when my temp went down that day and I just knew AF would be coming :( I didn't handle it very well and cried.... it's the first time I've really been depressed about ttc as the whole time i've been so patient, so positive, so hopeful, so strong but now after 5mths ttc and nothing and it's our first baby we are trying for, I worry that what if it never happens? :( it's the one thing in this world I want more than anything and it feels so out of reach!
I always thought ttc your first baby (or subsequent ones) would only take 1-4mths but i was wrong!!!! very wrong......
Had my first acupuncturist appointment today and had electroacupuncture.... it went well and also taking awful herbs but they don't taste as bad as others say they do. I didnt even need to hold my nose!!!! (so proud of myself hehe) have you tried acupuncture or chinese herbs?

And AF isnearly gone, tomrrow will be her last day of visiting thank god and i told her not to return for at least 10mths afterwards because I would like a baby and not to see her again for sometime as its time for me to be a mum now....
Um, i don't have a FS and I hope I don't need one.... if I am not pregnant after 12mths ttc then I will see one... but i am trying not to think about that!!!! I'm only 26!!!!

and you are not hopeless or wasting your FS time!!! NO way!!!!

Hey REnstar,
Thanks for your kind words. you are a legend. I have been trying for 18 months. During that time though i took a couple of months off the clomid cycles because i nearly lost my mum and felt i needed to give her my undivided attention. I went and got a second opinion from another Fs and preffered his approach, so i changed doctors. He is a lot more proactive. He said there was no way clomid would work for me. Had all the horrible tests done. Then we started stim drugs. Stupid me thought i'd fall first month with the help of the drugs. The worst thing is that the drugs replicate pregnancy. So you feel pregnant. Then af rocks up and you are devestated. So i have done 3 cycles like this and now the FS says IUI,is the way to go. So very nervous. my mind is racing with all the questions and worries. God knows whatever happened to just dtd when the moment takes you and getting pregnant. That seems too NORMAL!. Feeling like a lab rat. You get to a point though when you would do anything to try and at least get what you want. I truly hope you don't ever end up in my boat,and that you don't need a FS-but there is no shame if you do. So many girls just need a little push. A couple of months of tablets and then HEY PRESTO!And the counselling aspect can stop you from going crazy. I have tried homeopathics and chinese medicine. They were my first avenues before tablets actually.I live a wholistic lifestyle and putting synthetic stim drugs in my body totally goes against the grain. I worked with a naturaopath and kinesiologist and osteopath for 5 years. So we gave everything a go,together and independently. I really hope the herbs work for you and meditation can be very helpful to, so can yoga. there are plenty of options out there for you to try before seeing an expert. I hope though that through my negative experiences i can at least be of some help to others.Chin up chickens. We can reproduce!!!!!

And also too add my fs says that because of my age just with doing stim drugs and dtd i have like a 1 in 10 chance of pregnancy whereas with iui i have a 1 in 7. so i guess anyhting to up the stakes is good,but i agree pretty crappy statistics. But better than lotto.

Pollyanna - there is certainly no shame in seeking help from a FS! No way, i hope I didn't write that in the wrong way before!! I was just saying, it would be great to conceive without assisted help of course and that is what everyone plans to do hey but it doesnt always work out for some ppl like yourself.... :hug: & trust me, after 12mths of ttc and no pregnancy we will be off to see a FS aswell!!!

I'm sorry you go thru all this.... it's not fair. 1 in 7 chance is much better than 1 in 10 hey? Much better than lotto!! :hug:

btw - i tried the herbs last night and they aren't that bad actually!!! just taste like weird tasting chai or green tea! lol

Hmmmmmm,
My post disappeared. I didnt take anything the wrong way Renstar. I just meant that hopefully you won't need to see a FS,but if you do then there is nothing to be ashamed about.Funny about the homeopathic tinctures. Some are tolerable,others need to be diluted into like 10mls of water and the shotted down with a nice drink to follow. Not looking foward to IUI,but i want this little baby so much.I'm not sure how long i'm prepared to go on like this with the iui, but i'm pretty sure that this is as far as i want to go with it. To weigh up the cost,the time missed off work and the emotional toll is a lengthy progress but i think i have made that decision without over analyzing. But i'm just as likely to change my mind too. Such a hard time for us all. I'm just very happy that i have a soft place to fall and many ears to listen to my heavy heart when i'm down.
