Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Maddy40]

Morning everyone. Still a few days short of testing but feeling PMS-ey, so suspect AF is planning to arrive on schedule. I stopped temping as I found I was getting really obsessed with it...

 

[Giddy]

morning!
Maddy that sucks. I dont temp either. i find myself to be obsessed enough when it comes to baby making. I think i would drive myself craaaayzaaaay.

Hope everyone has an easy Wednesday.

 

[Giddy]

as for myself... I had a cup of tea this morning and it came right back up
but im sure its way too early for symptoms... so maybe my body just wasnt ready for any food/drink this time of morning. i dont usually eat breakfast (bad, I know, shhh) so thats probably the reason.
I had the most beautiful dream about a little girl last night. Woke up to my DH tucking me in (the covers must have fallen off) and kissing me goodbye on his way to work. I need to remind myself how lucky I am - Sure, I have been having difficulty conceiving, but I am *SO* lucky to have such a loving husband.

Sorry for rambling...

Morning Giddy & Maddy40,

Its so nice to see some many ozzie on here.

I am only 7dpo. With not much symptoms very light cramping but I can hardly feel it not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me. The last three months I have had really bad cramping before AF. My cm is really creamy & milky too is this normal to be like this before AF? I am trying for #2 but I can’t remember the symptoms with #1.

hope everyone had a good night sleep xx

Morning all!!!

Maddy- most women describe the tww full of AF symptoms and pms type too, so there's still hope!!! fx!!

Giddy- what a beautiful way to wake up, lovely dream, lovely husband...no better place to bring a baby in the world. Sorry about your tea--although the tea part sounds good right now, Ima see how I go with one!!

Lisa- I dont have the greatest experience with cm, at any time during my cycle, but from what ive read many women experience in the tww, i guess its a good sign!! Fx for you!!!

My morning- woke up feeling more un-pregnant than i have all week, no symptoms minus the terrible lower back. Hoping now that I am at 6dpo (roughly) that any symptoms from here on out are actually 'real' and ill get a BFP next week. But feeling less hopeful today- says the realistic side, and my Need a bubba side says its too early to lose hope, oh the of my brain!!!

Mum 2, Angel, Llmp, Melainey, and anyone i forgot- good morning to you ladies when you arrive, hope all is well in your TTC worlds!!

 

[lisamfr]

I am currently driving myself mad symptom spotting!! I was wondering when is everyone going to test before AF or after?

 

[number2woohoo]

Thanks so much ladies you give me hope xx

LLPM I agree with you there Only time I was pregnant i found out at 8 weeks and told everyone pretty soon after! (ended in m/c)so if I get pregnant again I will be holding off until about 12 weeks to tell anyone i was devastated the last time as were my family! BUt it is so hard not to symptom spot each month which makes you want to test hehehe ah well fx to all us wonderful ladies that we get our wish very soon

Yep, I'm with you there, I told quite a few ppl we were expecting in May/June - we were SO excited. Then when we lost the baby, well we had to tell them all. So we'll be a bit more cautious this time.

Before!!! i do not have the self control to wait until after AF is due. Plus, i find it easier to see the BFN and then not get too excited so AF isnt a horrible surprise.

Sounds pessimistic i know, but its just less painful (for me) that way.
what is everyone else going to do?

 

[number2woohoo]

I think I'll start testing this cycle at 12 DPO. Gives enough time for implantation then a couple of days for HCG to build up.

Hmm, I just checked my chart and that's the day my period would be due... so maybe I'll start a day or two before then!

 

[lisamfr]

I totally understand how you feel Giddy.

Number2woohoo I like the way you think. I might try and hold off until Sunday. As I am due 30th or 31st July. But it's so hard!!!

My cycle is all over the place. I thought I was O on the 14th but when I used a OPK I wasn’t O until day 17/18.

 

[LLPM]

I like to wait until AF is missed! I always assume it'll show 10dpo then when it doesn't (this is my first cycle she hasn't shown on time!) I'm happy to test. On loads of the other threads people start testing at 7dpo, and more than a few times I've seen people get positives really early then test every morning to see their tests fading each day and then AF shows up on time and they then know they had a chemical pregnancy! It's so heartbreaking and I just couldn't do it to myself! I'm sure I've had at least one chemical (super heavy bleeding that month, came on a day late, and bled for 10days!) but I'll never know and I prefer it that way! I think once a positive test shows you become attached!
Hoping my tests turn up today! Soooo keen to test. Cramping hung around till I went to sleep last night and I've noticed a pattern with nausea...it's hits bad around 9:30 til lunchtime then seems to go away! I'm also starving and thirsty all the time!! We'll see...I'm getting obsessed symptom spotting too...

 

[Pammy31]

I like to wait 2 days after my last cd for a test with a HPT as the last few AF's I have had are 32cd's or 34 cd's.

[LLPM]

Well my tests came...another BFN!!! Couldn't get anymore negative if I wanted it too!
Still feeling super crampy, and now frustrated too! Surely it would show up if I was pregnant by now at 16dpo?? DH said I can test every morning if I want as the tests were $2 posted for 6, so it's not like we're wasting over $5 each time! We'll see, I might take one in the morning and then wait til next Thursday if it's negative again! I'm. Really starting to think I got my dates wrong now, and I'm actually only 4dpo!
I've started temping again just to see what it's doing, it's been steady at 97.60 any time of day but today it's been up to 98.62?! Don't want to keep seeing symptoms that aren't there!

 

[ginny83]

how long are your cycle usually LLPM?

 

[LLPM]

My LP has been 9-10days. My cycles have been really regular for a few months, ovulating on CD23-24, so whole cycle being 33-34days. But here I am on CD42 feeling pregnant but getting BFN's?!
This cycle I was sick on CD24 and pretty sure I didn't ovulate then (no CM) which I usually a really clear sign for me, but then on CD26 I have ewcm so assumed O was just delayed a couple of days, which would make me 16dpo from that date. BUT I had some ewcm on Saturday (11dpo) just gone, but had that last cycle before AF showed which kind of confirmed that I did infact ovulate on CD26! Hope that isn't confusing.
That's why I'm going to wait til next Thursday to test after tomorrow if it's negative - then if I got my dates wrong then I'll be 10dpo (if I O'd on Saturday when I had the ewcm!)
Soooo wish I'd charted this cycle...then I wouldn't be left hanging!

 

[ginny83]

wow, no matter what way you look at it, your at least 6 days late going by when you have a longer cycle.

I think you're right to wait a week - but I'd go to your doctor's after that because 2 weeks late seems very late!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

I think AF is due between aug 3-4th, i might start testing the 31st, depending on how i feel. i think i'm 6dpo today, but bc i dont chart and opks dont work out for me, im guessing by a day a two on everything!!

Llmp- i hope af stays away and you get a BFP this time around!!!

 

[Giddy]

aww LLPM i hope you get a true answer soon, even if it is AF, hopefully she just comes so you can get ready to try next cycle!

 

[LLPM]

Thanks ladies! It's funny, even though I'm getting BFN's I still feel positive, and it feels like I will get my BFP! I know I can't predict that but I have a good feeling! Will look silly next week if AF shows and I just got my dates wrong. Lol

Yeah I thought I'll go to the dr next week if she doesn't show, my GP is lovely and totally understanding! I'm sure she'd give me a blood test and then I'll know for sure!
