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

[pieceofpie]

Kla, I am so glad that everything went well at the doctor's office, it sounds like there is a little girl in there...I will share the secret with you later lol. I cant wait to hear the results of the blood test.

To all the new ladies I am so happy that you have joined this wonderful board the ladies here are great supporters of whatever you are going through and will help in anyway they can.

I do hope AF stays away for those in the tww it would be nice to have some April/May babies here that way everyone could compare notes and symptoms.

Thanks Kla however I could kick myself for all those wines and beers I was drinking also I did not chart the way I should the beginning of this month so I am not too sure exactly when I ovulate. I do know that my LP last anywhere around 11 or 12 days so I am counting from that angle. Today is 10 days counting back so tomorrow would make 11 and Sunday 12 so base on my tempt drop I would say I ovulate around CD24 and expect AF tomorrow or Sunday if it does not come means that I ovulate later and unfortunately did not have a chance to catch my egg. Currently there is no symptom so I am thinking that this is a good thing with the exception of the backache and mild aches around 4am. I am fine..funny thing is I am not upset. I feel very happy reading all the positives here on the board cause my time will come one way or the other so I just have to stay positive not matter the circumstances.

Hello again lovelies!
I really should be calling you all my favourite bra with all the support you've been giving congrats again Kla and MrsD! So so exciting!
I've just found out that my cousin is 18 weeks along (and I heard it from my mum ) AF was really weird, it really started Wednesday 7th aug and seemed to be stopping (just brown discharge - sorry about the tmi) on Thursday 8th then started again but was just pink and stopped last night Frin, I have no idea. I'm dizzy again and my back is SO sore
Sorry I haven't been around much, had a couple of friends around for a dinner party and birthday celebration. It was good, we laughed so much, I can't remember the last time I laughed that much, it is so good to just laugh!
Hoping you are all well xxx

Brunette - did you test yesterday in the end? Really hope you get an answer soon!

Kla - congratulations! It must be so good to have it all confirmed. How funny would it be if our babies were born on the same day? Still a month and a bit for me to go until I have a scan. But that'll be my 12 week scan and hopefully I will get a clearer EDD. I'm also going to book a private scan around 12 weeks with an excellent specialist who comes recommended. Apparently he can be 90% sure of the sex of the baby at 12 weeks! I cannot wait for that appointment.

5ummer - what a lot of symptoms. Try to hold out another few days before testing. Keep us posted! Hoping you get your BFP soon.

Piece - you have such a brilliant outlook on it all. I love your positivity! You really deserve to get your BFP soon and I really hope you do.

Paigies mumma - glad you've had a great time with your friends. I can relate to what it's like finding out someone else is pregnant. It feels strange doesn't it. I couldn't help but feeling jealous when it was a relative of mine instead of me! Sorry to hear about AF. Maybe make a doctor's appointment if it didn't feel normal to you?

Right ladies. I'm going to have to leave you all for a week! Flying out to Greece in the early hours tomorrow morning. At the moment I feel fine, so I know I will be ok on the flight. I am still so scared of something going wrong out there, or me having terrible sickness on the flight back! Oh well. I read something the other day which said, "wherever you go, go with all your heart". So I'm going to go and enjoy some quality time with hubby on our last holiday as just the two of us! I just wish I could look into the future and know this pregnancy is going to go ok. I can't help but worry!
I look forward to catching up with you all in just over a week! Take care :wave:

Hi MrsD, please go on your vacation and stop worrying, just have a good time. My son father was Greek and I eat almost everything and the baby was fine. His death was base on something entirely different. I think it would be nice to go green because I knew how I was when I discovered I have having a boy. I just know you will have a wonderful time and I am glad that both you and Kla are expecting in the same month lots to talk about.

MrsD I cannot allow myself to get upset with every pregnancy Kla and I were here and persons got pregnant and left us alone where we only had each other and I would feel sad so I had to move myself from out of it and know I feel good just reading about pregnancy.

AF showed her head today for me as I predicted, I am getting to the point where I am knowing her like the back of my hand. I will chart this cycle because I am noticing a pattern in my ovulation days. I am seriously not holding out any hopes on ever getting pregnant but I must say it is nice trying. I have been trying for a very long time and it has not happen so why put myself through the pain month after month and year after year.

I am a Christian and I believe that if the Lord saw it fit for me to be a mother both babies would not have died. One for something quite simple and the other in a M/C both of which cost me a pretty penny. Thanks for understanding and being there.

Anyway ladies take care, I am going to make me something with lots of rum.

 

[brunettebimbo]

MrsD I did which was a BFN but I also got crosshairs meaning I'm currently on my longest cycle ever and AF is now due next Friday!

 

[moni77]

Hey everyone! Instead of working I just read this entire post...I have been ttc since last November and for the most part have been disappointed when AF arrives. Normally I have a 25-26 day cycle, with a 27-28 day cycle every 6 months or so. My last late cycle was in May, so I should not be "due" for a late cycle until November. I am now on day 28, BFN this morning and now I am going to the bathroom every hour to check for AF. (needless to say I have not gotten much work done.)

This month I used an ovulation monitor for the first time. According to the monitor, I should have gotten my period Friday or saturday, because I had peak ovulation on the 27th. Saturday, my breasts were very sensitive and hurt - I have never had that as a PMS symptom before. I was out of town, so this morning was my first testing opportunity and although I didnt want to get my hopes up, I was thinking, maybe this was it - until the negative. Does anyone know how long after ovulation you are supposed to get your period? Not even sure if I am considered late yet.

Anyways, you all seemed very nice and congrats to MrsD and Kla! I just needed some place to vent my frustrations. I am 35 and so plan to start the testing process as soon as I know that I am not preggers.

Hi Mom177,

First let me be the first to say thanks for joining and you are most welcome. You have decided to be a part of a wonderful group of women who are supportive of each other and is there to hear all your vents because it is something as ttc women that we go through from time to time.

I will try to see if I understand your question and attempt it.

You are correct about having your late cycle in November or even December because you said 6 months or so therefore that is out of the question at the moment.

if you cylce is 25/26 days chance are you would be fertile from CD 9 in order to ovulate on CD 14 which would mean that you have Lutal phase of 11-12 days anything shorter than would be considered a LP defect however having a 11/12 Lp means that you might be on the short side but still normal. If you ovulate earlier than 14 days it would mean that you would have a longer LP phase of 13-16 but I doubt base on the length of your cycle. A fertilize egg takes anywhere from 7-16 days to fertilize so chances are you might have tested a tad too early. You are only 17 days DPO so wait maybe one 2-3 days to retest which will be a full week after your period was due. This time use FMU and if you could invest into a thermometer and check your tempt if it stays high that could be another indication of pregnancy (only if you are charting your BBT). Best of luck and I am keeping my fingers cross for you.

AFM: AF showed her head on Saturday and ended early yesterday morning, the only thing I have at the moment is a discharge when I wipe. I know its not pregnancy because my temp is pretty low to be considered for that but she was not heavy, medium or even light but a bit more than spotting. (sorry tmi) also she was brown blood with dark red mucus like clots no PMS this time or aches I was willing this period to come and still praying that she come back and continue to her full 4-5 days.

Cant wait to see my results this weeks so I can have a better understanding of what is going on with my body. I have decided to take a break from ttc for a while but will still be on the board every day as moral support for you ladies because I love to read all the updates and BFP pregnancy news.

Kla and MrsD happy and healthy pregnancy to each of you. FX to everyone else.

 

[moni77]

Thank you pieceofpie - and I am sorry about AF. I hope you get your answers soon!

Question for you - what is FMU? I was taking my BBT at the beginning of the year but stopped for the summer. The plan was to start back up again after this cycle, so we didnt't have to worry about it while on vacation in July. According to the strips, I ovulated around day 13 - 14 so you are correct about that.

Still no AF. Will try to wait until Thursday to test but will probably break down and test again tomorrow morning if it doesnt come today.

Thanks again for the info.

Today I woke a little nauseous and my temperature went up to 37.08. By the afternoon AF had arrived. I'm guessing all my symptoms have been from my pill leaving my system. Part of me is gutted but the other half is relieved. I've never had a cycle this long before and it's been hell worrying! At least now we can start a fresh and hope that my cycles are returning to my normal. 48 days this cycle. Never thought it would end!

FM|U = First Morning Urine.

I am keeping my fingers cross for you that it happen.

 

[amanda111308]

I am not 100% but today I have experienced what I think could very possibly be implantation bleeding... Not getting my hopes up though because I have also been in vitex to help keep my cycles regular... I hope it is a sign of good things to come!!!

 

[moni77]

Hey ladies - update - after jogging last night I had some pink when I wiped and sure enough AF was there this morning. So I had my first 29 day cycle - even with ovulation at day13-14 according to the monitor. Very disappointed, I keep thinking that I shouldn't have gone jogging but my BD says that it is ridiculous to think that way, which I know, but still can't help it.

Contacting the doctors about starting the testing for both of us today. This cycle will be temping again along with the fertility monitor and trying pre-seed.

Thanks for the definition - I have always tested with FMU.

Onto next month...

FX for everyone else!!

 

[pieceofpie]

Moni77, sorry the witch show her head. I thought you said you get a long cycle every 6 months this one just threw you off I guess. FX for next month for you.
