Thanks all. AF due today and nothing. Nada. Ziltch. No cramps or spotting which should have started yesterday. But there is no way realistically speaking how I could have got a wrong test result today. Not even going there as building up false hope.

So sad as felt so different this month (still do)

Think all the pma I've been focusing on for the whole month has made it worse as I was so convinced I would get 2 lines this morning.

Sorry for being so depressing but I'm so sad. It's hard not having any control over something like this when you want it so much!

Oh honey, do not apologize!!!!!!!! Two months ago I was certain I was pg, and when it didn't happen I completely lost it. And I know there are others who completely understand as well. It's very, very hard to go through this. So let it out, and we're here to support you.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Thanks for the recipe, Lucky! Looks like I just need the apples and some meusli and I'd be all set!

We have three apple trees in our yard and I so cannot wait for the apples to be ready. I'll be making apple -everything you can think of!

Don't apologize. Every month I convince myself I'm pregnant because all the signs and symptoms really seem to be there (I've been pregnant twice so I know). And it's such a horrible feeling when you realize you're not. But you will be soon (and then you'll stress in a whole different way!) and you'll never forget that feeling of getting a bfp! It'll happen soon.

I felt exactly the same last month - I'd practically convinced myself that I was and it was just a matter of time until the tests proved it. It was odd to feel so confident about it and I ended up feeling really stupid when I was wrong - so much for knowing my body really well!!

Ho well, I learn something new each month and last month it was that I can't trust myself if I think I 'just know' that I am. And I'm not going to let myself get my hopes up like that again - it's not worth the grief.

FX it'll be your turn soon Waitng xx

Hi - I am 31 and have just ordered a CBFM - hope it's ok to crash your forum!!! Been trying for a few months now but I have really irregular periods due to the depo!! How is everyone today? -x-x-

 

[ellieb31]

Hi Shorty!

Welcome and !!

Good luck with the CBFM. Lots of women use them but I just use IC's as I found it quite expensive to use CBFM each month. Is it your first that you're trying for? We're the same age and I'm trying for my first....and starting to worry about how late in life I left it! (not that I regret that decision but it seems ironic that I spent so many years fighting pregnancy!) xx

 

[Fairybabe]

Well folks, am out this month, the got me.


Welcome shorty. Aged 31 is just fine!!

Please add me for June 14. Thanks!

No worries - will add your date now! Good luck - 14th June is my OH's birthday!

Oh sweetie, as the others said, don't apologise - we know exactly how it feels. You are so right - it is really hard not having any control over this. Hang in there love xx it will happen

Yum - lucky you! That is awesome that you have apple trees in your yard. The good thing is that you can cook up apples then freeze them, so you have frozen apple crumble mixture ready to go whenever you want it!

FX it'll be your turn soon Waitng xx

I totally relate to this - every month there is something new that I get caught out on! I thought I knew my body pretty well, but I just keep discovering new things!

Hi - I am 31 and have just ordered a CBFM - hope it's ok to crash your forum!!! Been trying for a few months now but I have really irregular periods due to the depo!! How is everyone today? -x-x-

Hey Shorty79 - welcome! If you have a date you want me to add for testing, let me know! Good luck

Well folks, am out this month, the got me.

Oh no, I'm so sorry love hope you are doing ok. I know you were kind of expecting it, but that doesn't make it any easier. Big hugs and fingers crossed for next cycle


How is everyone doing? Hope you are all hanging in there.

I have just had my third day at my new job - I am exhausted! It's going well, but it is already very busy and my brain is feeling overloaded.

CD14 for me, OPKs still negative. Finally got around to BDing last night, so will try and keep going every second day until I get a positive OPK.

 

[Shorty79]

Hi everyone:

EllieB - I know exactly how you feel - we spend years trying not to get pregnant then years TTC - its crazy ins't it!

Yes this is my first - I did actually get PG when i was 18 but had a termination as it was not a good relationship and he was violent etc.

Fairybabe - can't believe she got you! I know how you feel - i have been on for 3 weeks now! Nightmare!!! Can i still be ovulating when i have such a long period does anyone know?

Anyone here using CBFM? I have heard they are idiot proof so fingers crossed!!

-x-x-

Shorty!! I use the CBFM and I love it. Yes it's expensive to get started, but I was struggling with regular OPKs and knowing if the test line was as dark or darker than the control line. It is very easy, you just have to get in to the routine of turning it on in the morning and seeing if it wants you to do a test.

Pop over to the CBFM thread, you'll learn a lot about using it. Like, it will always ask for 10 sticks (or 20 if you don't get your peak by the 10th stick). But after you get your first peak, it automatically gives you a second peak, a high then a low. So it's a waste of sticks to keep testing after your first peak. Stuff like that! So check it out!

Gotta run to work, but was stopping in to say good morning (or good night, Lucky!)

Hi Shorty :wave:
I've been using the cbfm. I just started my second cycle. I like it because it takes the guesswork out of the whole thing. Have you been bleeding for 3 weeks? Did you run that by your doc? Hopefully AF will end soon and then you can start using your cbfm!

 

[maxxiandniko]

Well folks, am out this month, the got me.


Welcome shorty. Aged 31 is just fine!!

Fairybabe xxx

That . Next month!

 

[maxxiandniko]

Remind me all - who's around CD 7 at the moment?

 

[Shorty79]

Yeah spoke to GP who said it is not that unusual as i was on the depo for 4 years. I am normally quite regular but every now and again i am on for nearly a whole month! Just cant wait to come off and then come on again and then start using my CBFM. Weird actually wanting to come on!!!
