Hey ladies - it's definately AF - oh well........... actually in a way I don't mind - as I'm almost a bit relieved and can stop obsessing for a little while anyway - till next month! I'm getting married in 2 weeks time, and that means around my next O time - so that will be a very appropriate time for a jolly good BD LOL !!!!!!!!
Sharon - hanging to hear your results !! And praying.........!!
Lee - sorry your AF turned up unexpectedly.... things were looking so promising. On a positive note at least things will be timed well for your wedding.... perhaps you could conceive a honeymoon baby.... how romantic would that be???
Sharon - well done for not testing. I wish I hadn't. I didn't use 1st morning urine as I was determined not to test, but ended up using my 2nd one (before having anything to eat or drink) as I could not stop myself... knowing full well that it was too early and the wrong pee to use.... I'm absolutely hopeless. As for your headaches - they are a common sign of early pregnancy so hopefull that's a good sign. I've also had some over the last few days.
jenjams - Your symptoms sound promising. Early symptoms are a funny thing I think. The experts tell you that you can't get pg symptoms until 3-4 days after implantation so that's between say 6DPO (if you implant early on 3DPO) and 14DPO if you implant on 10DPO) but the internet is full of sites with women claiming to have symptoms from 3DPO onwards..... so I have no idea what the truth is.
I'm feeling a little more positive this morning. I'm 11DPO (CD24 of a 28 day cycle usually so AF would be due this Friday) and experienced a tiny amount of brownish spotting yesterday, and then a little pinkish spotting first thing this morning after a little more cramping. I normally only get brown spotting before my AF so I'm hoping that it's implantation spotting, but I'm not overly confident about that.
I am still feeling over emotional - had to hold off the tears reading about that baby being dumped at Dandy Hospital... it's not far from where I work... unbelievable for that to happen on mothers day. I get emotional before my AF so it really doesn't mean anything. I also had a .3 dip in temp this morning which I guess is either an implantation dip or it is a sign AF is on her way, but comparing my chart to others similar to my own I noticed a few pg charts that looked like mine but most were ovulatory so I think it will be the latter. I hate this wait.
Satya- I saw the news last night about the baby being dumped at the Dandy hospital. I dont know the facts of the case but on face value, how can a mother just dump her new born.......
Lee- I have my fingers crossed for you for a Honeymoon conception.
I guess only time will tell if my symptoms are actual symptoms or not. I could handle going back to bed for a nap today though!
Sacha-That is exactly how I feel so you are not alone. I think "I could get pg before so why can't I know" & then I know when & IF it ever happens I will be so scared of m/c. Don't feel alone there are lots of people that feel exactly the same. I had mine back in Nov 06 and am still not pg. Phoned my ob last week who said come & see him I said I will wait a couple of months & if not pg I will make an appt to go back & see him. I get so stressed cause I know I can get pg but now it won't happen. Ob said it may be because worried about it too much. Getting to the stage of jsut being "over it". Hope this helps a bit.
Everyone in here will support you lots though.
Sorry haven't been in girls but am struggling a bit at minute & as I said I am over it all really. Once AF arrives again, I am giving up temping and will take a break from here as well & my poor DH will not know what has hit him. Congrats to all the and lots of to everyone else
Well this morning I had a bit of a temp dip and also some 'pink' spotting and going by previous cycles (I usually spot 1-2 days before AF) I think AF will be showing up either tomorrow or wednesday.
Just a question on spotting though, if it is implantation spotting is it normally old blood (you know, brownish colour) or new "pink" blood, because whenever I have spotted before it has always been the old blood.
Don't have time for personals this morning, will BBL tonight.
First of all, congratulations maz! All the best for your pregnancy.
Sharon - what a bummer! I don't know the answer to your question, sorry, I've never had an implantation bleed. Hopefully someone else who knows will be along soon.
Herbie - I'm really sorry you're feeling "over it". I know how you feel, because I was like that last month. I definitely reckon that getting all stressed about it doesn't help either - I've been trying really hard to stay relaxed this month about everything.
satya and jenjams - fingers crossed for you both, hope AF stays away
Lee - blah to AF! But good luck for TTC a honeymoon baby - you never know!!
Kerry - I hope you are feeling better, I'm so sorry for your loss
Leyla - I really hope AF shows for you soon and you can get on to your next cycle
Sacha - I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how you feel too, I'll always have a worry in the back of my mind that it will happen again. But I'm trying to stay positive and not think about it this month, because it was all I thought of last month! But I hope things get better for you soon.
Well, I've been really busy and quite slack and haven't posted for a while - whew, it takes a while to get through all the personals!
I'm on CD14 today and pretty sure I'll O today, had a positive OPK 2 days ago - well, it was more positive than they were on all the other days, so I'm calling it positive! And all the other signs are looking good. I hope that I do O today though, because DH is off to Melbourne for work for a couple of days on Wednesday!!
I went to see my ob last week and got the thumbs up which was really good, he told me he expects to see me back there pregnant really soon - fingers crossed he is right!! He's given me a request to have CD21 hormone levels checked, but he doesn't expect them to show up a problem, so I'm thinking I'll wait a couple of cycles and see what happens.
But after that I am feeling really positive for this month - it just seems like everything is going better than last month, which is a relief in itself. Last month was just a really crap month!
Anyway, hello and best wishes to everyone I've missed - hope you are all doing well
Sacha - so sorry to see you here and for your loss. Please know that your feelings are completely normal - I too am terrifed to be pg after two consecutive losses, but at the same time I want to be pg as I want a baby so very badly. It's not fun at all, but it gets easier. Hopefully we can all help you.
megsmum - glad to hear you sounding more positive this month! Maybe it's a sign that this will be the month for you!!
Herbie - sorry to hear that you are over it right now. I know exactly how you feel - it just shouldn't be this hard should it?! I always try to look at all the positives of not being pg, like being able to drink and eat what you like, and having more money to play with, etc, but some days it just really doesn't work and make you feel any better. I hope you have a better day tomorrow!
jen- yay on your coverline! I thought it was on its way. Fingers crossed!
Lee - sorry to hear about AF, but yay on getting married in 2 weeks! How exciting! And yes, just think how great a honeymoon baby would be!
sharon - good on you for not testing yet! So much willpower! I'm glad you had a good mothers day.
kerry - good to hear you sounding a little better.
Hi to everyone I have missed.
Me: I am now on CD6 and today is my last clomid tablet. I really haven't had too many side effects, or not that I have noticed anyway. I have had a couple of shocking headaches, but I get them sometimes, so it may be totally unrelated, and I have felt a bit nauseous, but have just ignored it. My mood hasn't been afftected thank goodness, so I have no awful embarrassing stories to tell, and DH has been spared. My next BT is Thurs, although I would not expect much to be happening by then as I will only be on CD9. I am quite positive that this will work for us, if not this month, then hopefully another, but at the same time am still struggling a lot. I can't see myself having a baby - I see it as something other people get, but not me. Sometimes I can't see my future as I am so unsure about what it may hold. If I could peak 5 years into the future and know that it all works out, I could keep going on this journey, but some days I just don't know if it is worth it or not? It is not like my problem is conceiving and that once we are over that hurdle, we are fine, it's that my babies just don't stick and there is not much medicine can do for that. Sorry, vent over!
