Any one have to wait until after AF is late for a BFP?

[AngelWings215]

Hi ladies welcome to our site, its very small where we had sisterly girlie chat with each other on some level in depth details.

Amanda, I thought I read some places that having a tiny speck of blood is a good thing. Have you ever considered that just maybe you ovulated late and is just implanting. Lets see if you can wait until next week then test, test, test like crazy. You said it yourself that you tested positive late. Fingers cross that AF never shows for the next 39 weeks.

Kitcat, I truly hope we get an answer to that blighted ovum. I am sure that's what it was finger cross for you tooo. Hugs

MrsD14,
I went through similar thing a few months ago. I was sooo convince that something happen because I had brown watery fluid, it was not red just brown and watery for a few days then nothing, did not come regularly like the average period and only appear when I wipe as well only to find out it was indeed AF. (Doctor said sometimes our cycle come like this not sure why) I wore panty liner throughout and it lasted seven days, I am normally a 2-4 days person.

1. Did you have any mucus discharge? or could you have ovulate early and the spotting you saw on the day you thought you ovulate was actually something else? Did you check to see if the lining of your uterus was thick enough to sustain a pregnancy.?

Another point to look into is the fact that you may be on the second menstrual cycle because your period started a few days ago.

TTC is not easy and for some of us, self included have been trying for years without success but envision the rewards at the end. That is why we have communities like these to support each other while going through one of the most difficult time for a woman. Are you currently taking folic acid or DHEA, they work in getting your body ready for pregnancy.

Angelwings, I don't think you are pregnant if you only had unprotected sex on the 10 which would be cd 20 or did you ovulated a bit later. What you are describing is a delayed cycle and PMS before AF shows her head. Give her another few days and she will be here where you could start afresh, don't forget to use folic acid and please start charting your bbt its an excellent indicator of when you ovulate.

I will however keep my FXX for you and hope that you get your positive soon.

Thanks for replying back. I am now a week late according to me and 6 days late according to FF. I plan on taking another pregnancy test about the middle of next week if AF hasn't shown by Sunday. Why would I all of a sudden go from a 33-36 day cycle to a 40+ cycle?

Yes the 10th would have been CD 20 which is 2 weeks before the 24th which would be put be as being due for AF on a 34 day cyle . Thanks for the well wishes

Angelwing, I sincerely will keep my fingers cross that you get your BFP and please test next week, chances are you may be pregnant and have not generate enough hcg for a positive. Fingers Crossed.

AFM: Today I am on CD34, not sure about the ovulation because according to my body I did not ovulate with the exception of the increase in bbt. and as stated earlier its at its highest. I will wait until next week before testing again to see if there is a BFP if not then I will prepare for next month by starting to take my DHEA, B6 and B12.

Everyone please have a wonderful weekend, I will be heading to Fish Fry for some sky juice and R&R.

Omg just got home from a incredible date night with my hubs we went for a nice dinner and then went to the theatre to see fast 6 omg it was soo good!! We got dbox seating which made it even more unreal!!

Feeling kinda crampy tonight though. Still thoroughly confused. I think I might make another appt with the doc sometime next week if AF hasn't shown up over the weekend!
Have a safe and exciting weekend ladies!!!

 

[MrsD140810]

Thanks for your reply. I think I'm out this month. Forget about two week wait, it's felt like a month! Still having brown spotting and took another test BFN. I know my AF is coming and just want it to show up now so I can move on to next month. Feeling fed up now! Off to London this weekend though and determined to enjoy it and I suppose it means I can have a few drinks! Have a lovely weekend ladies and for those who are out this month, lets hope for some BFPs next month!

 

[pieceofpie]

Amanda, Yay for date night, I saw F&F 6 last week and yes it was good, cant wait for part 7. I thought it would have gotten lost along the way like so many other movies but noooooo.

It rain here, we are in the mist of a hurricane season so everywhere has been flood since last week Tuesday.

MrsD, Enjoy London which I was there so I can get away from all this water. I hope AF comes for you so you can move on.

AFM: woke up to temp only to have a mild/moderate cramp in the lower abdominal and upper pelvic region. (tmi) Ever since yesterday I have been smelling AF like blood. ( I have super sensitive nose and could tell when someone was on their period). However there is no bleeding, spotting, dripping nada and no scent coming from down there. I am very freaky when it comes to my body and b.o. so the scent is in my nostril or mind, I don't know which. The ache only last for about 30 minutes then ease. I have been getting these types of aches since last week and while bd'ing this week it hurts. I don't have an infection because that was checked, I don't know maybe I need to go back to my medical books. haha.
I am waiting for AF to show her head so that I can move on and stop toying with me.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Hi guys,
Hope you don't mind me joining in but I have been following your conversations and can relate to a lot of what you say!
I am now on CD 37, 19 DPO and my AF is 9 days late. I had brown spotting a few days after ovulation and been having symptoms such as cramps and some dizziness. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests.. all BFN.
Past couple of days I have had slight brown spotting again, only when I wipe. Had cramps too. Have been thinking this is my AF finally showing up. Upset me, yet also relieved to finally have some answers this month. But the spotting is very light and keeps stopping and starting. Hasn't developed into full AF.
I imagine it is my AF and I'm going to wake up tomorrow with full on period. But at the moment I am still really frustrated because it keeps stopping. What is going on?! This is my 3rd month TTC and cannot cope with going through this every month! It's crazy!
Wishing you all get BFP's soon!

Hi Mrs. D, you are more than welcome to join the convo For a while, it was just Pieceofpie and I- we are glad to have some new "faces!"
I just went through a very similar situation as you are going through...DH and I have been TTC (well, NTNP as far as he's concerned) for 3 months. This month I had cramps and sore BBs followed by 4 days of brown spotting with no symptoms...After that AF reared her ugly head with the worst cramps I've ever had.

It was a full moon last weekend, wasn't it? Wondering if something messed with all of our cycles since there are so many of us with late or screwy periods this month! I hope that I took the AF blow and the rest of you ladies will all be getting your BFP's! Just check in on me once in a while to make sure I haven't jumped off a bridge or something from frustration- hahaha! (TOTAL JOKE- No real worries about that I swear!)

Pieceofpie and I had spoken before about how unfair it seems that after one night stands or quick flings some women wind up preggo while there's the 6(?ish?) of us wanting it so badly and just going nuts waiting for it! I'm the first to admit that in my desperation I'm sure I've "invented" symptoms which have probably created stress that messed with cycles and further created turmoil for myself. Not saying that's the case for any of you- just saying that it stinks that conceiving is really so based on timing and luck and that it takes so darn long (yes, two weeks is an eternity) to find anything out!!!

Sorry to sound cynical. Unfortunately that's where my brain is right now and I just needed to rant for a minute. I am TRULY keeping my FXd that we get a few BFP's on here so that you lucky ladies can come and cheer on the rest of us!

 

[pieceofpie]

Kla vent away my dear, vent away I am sure we all understand and have been through it. As you are aware I have been trying for a few years, come close but never catching the rainbow and even though I was ready to throw in the towel last month, our friendship change my mind. I am sure the same would happen here with the ladies on this board, this is not a board of separation or just to announce BFP and leave but a board to feel comforted, relax and more like you are chatting with your sister or best friend.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

 

[pieceofpie]

Well ladies, I am just waiting for AF to show her head now, my temperature dropped today again which is always clear tell tale sign for me that she is about to show.

CD37, however, I have no aches, symptoms or anything of the sort today,

How are you ladies doing and holding up.?

 

[AngelWings215]

I'm on CD 45 today. Still no AF, tested this morning at about 2:45 and got a BFN. So either I'm not pregnant at all or I'm pregnant and its now showing up. I think I'll wait it out until CD 60 before going to the doctor's.

 

[amanda111308]

I am on cycle day 49 and tested yesterday morning and bfn. Going to the doc today to discuss some probers or another med to kick start AF. I haven't had a long cycle like this since before I had my son... This has been out first month ttc #2... I am already frustrated lol but my bbt should arrive in the mail soon then I can at least track temperatures to see what is happening on the ovulation front.

I am suspecting this cycle to be annovulatory as my period is so extremely late. My doc said this is very likely the cause of such a long cycle. I know I have gone even longer than this in the past so it is just a waiting game. I am going to take some vitamin c or drink a few cups of parsley tea to get AF to get here so I can start fresh with cycle 2.

I am at peace with not being pregnant this month, I was pretty hyped when I was getting allot those symptoms a weekish ago, but in the end I will not quit my journey until I have another baby to love. We will all get our babies soon, I feel it!!

Stay strong ladies!!

 

[amanda111308]

**provera

 

[pieceofpie]

Hi Amanda, you can print down copies of the bbt charts for free on mymonthlycycle.com or you could join the site also free including Fertility Friend.

Wish us ladies all the best, I also thinks I am out this month as my temperature drop both yesterday and today. Just a waiting game for AF to show.

Provera, I will look into it.

I am thinking this was an anovulatory cycle for me as well or that I am pregnant and its just not showing up. If I am not pregnant why are the symptoms keep lingering around? My breasts were so sore yesterday I wanted to rip them off and then I keep feeling like AF has started so I run to the bathroom and its just clear watery discharge and the bloating is just painful at time. I think my progesterone and estrogen are trying to go up but then keep falling back down or something.

I tested at 2:45 this morning and got a BFN. Last time I tested was on the 29th and I got a BFN then as well. When do you plan on going to the doctor's? I'm probably going to try and wait until CD 60.

What is the tea supposed to do? I've heard of Provera. Never had to use it though. Do you have PCOS or anything? Longest time w/o a cycle for me was 5 months. Doctor told me to start Provera but AF started on its own the next day.

 

[AngelWings215]

I didn't get a bfp till 10 weeks! As long as AF hasn't arrived there is always hope

How many tests did you take and why did you keep testing? How far along are you now? Did your symptoms ever come and go?

 

[MrsD140810]

Well my AF officially showed up this morning! Had brown spotting all weekend that kept stopping and starting. Then AF today. It's annoying as this is the longest cycle I've ever had. Never been 2 weeks late. And I was convinced I was having so many pregnancy symptoms. I was a bit upset when AF showed up but I'm alright now. On to next month! At the end of the day whenever AF turns up I just remind myself how lucky I am to be getting periods and that things seem to be working properly. I have a relative that has to go for an operation on her ovaries to try and get periods again. So I am lucky. Oh and I drank so much wine at the weekend and even had Camembert so it's probably a good thing I'm not preggo! Haha. Hope you're all ok ladies. Lets keep chatting and keeping each other posted!

 

[pieceofpie]

MrsD140.

I am glad that you enjoy yourself over the weekend. Happy but sad that AF showed her head.

I am waiting for either a positive or AF at the moment. I have condition myself not to get too upset if she shows her head.

Wish the ladies on this board all the best in their ttc phase.

 

[amanda111308]

Waiting to see the docs again... 11 days late today... Irritated beyond belief. I just want answers and I am afraid I won't get the answers I need at this point. I have not found a decent doctor since we moved in April... I am sorry ladies just having a moan feeling pretty down today and I just want my normal cycles back. I am like 85% sure I am not pregnant...

Ugh my body is such an arse!!

 

[KLa826]

Hi Amanda,

Sorry to hear you're so down We all have days (weeks?) like that and you are in the right place with people who can certainly empathize! Finding a decent doctor in a new area is definitely tough, without the stress of wanting a good one while you are TTC!
I hope you get some answers today and will keep my FXd for you that it's the answer you want! If not, I hope you get some closure to help you move forward

 

[pieceofpie]

Amanda, I sorry you feel the way you do and hope that you find a doctor soon who can put an answer to what you are going through. Can you communicate with your doctor in the last city you were in and asked if him/her can recommend someone for you? I did that when I was in New York and he was more than happy to.

I know how you are feeling and like you, I am either 11DPO or 24DPO depending on which date I chose to use for charting. I am also on CD38 and no sign of AF or pregnancy and like you I don't think I am pregnant either will wait until Thursday and test, if negative like you will head to the doctor on Monday.

All the best to all the ladies who are waiting for answers or TTC.

 

[amanda111308]

Ok so update on me I got into see a good doc today (yay!!) and she gave me blood work requisitions for cycle day 3 and cycle day 21 for whenever my AF does show up. She also booked me in for a pap to make sure there's no internal damage still from when I delivered my son last May.

So I am happy that she is ordering all the tests necessary to figure it all out!

ALSO!! My bbt arrived in the mail today!! So I am going to begin temping tomorrow morning!! I am so excited! I have never charted before so I am kinda nervous lol but more excited!!

How is everyone feeling??
