Im feeling the same....i tested yesterday at 12dpo and today at 13dpo both BFNs, i really thought i may be PG as had a few symptoms....but now getting AF cramps, i thought i could feel it start but went to the loo and nothing, so shes not here yet ....guess that is good news.

lots of and hugs, were all in the same boat and just seeing a few BFPS on here gives me hope it will happen one day xxx

haj624 and c1403, I've been getting pre-AF crampy feeling for the last 2 days and constantly running to the loo to check because when mine starts it starts full-flow! But so far nothing. Never used to be an issue because i was so regular but now that my cycles are erratic I just don't know any more!

Good luck to you both and I hope it's not AF coming but some good news for you!

maybe AF cramps are actually PG cramps? I hope she doesn't get you!

 

[haj624]

Do you usually have cramps that feel like af if youre pregnant?

Do you usually have cramps that feel like af if youre pregnant?

I'd say I had both type cramps - mild AF cramps and from time to time you feel quick pulling pain from bellybutton down to your groin - kind of like someone's tied a string and is pulling on your belly button. It's not too painful (nothing like MC) but can be unpleasant. But usually you'd just feel AF cramps, but they come and go and like I said, very mild. Also little pulling pains on sides of your stomach, like muscle stretching.

 

[Elz]

BFN for me, and AF came last night. On to the next month!! x

 

[StephieB]

I'm out, again. Even after my nonchalant attitude the other day, this month has kinda hit me and my husband pretty hard. Its the first time I've seen him cry when AF has made an appearance. (Obviously with the miscarriage in September excluded)

Month 20. Yep, twenty. two. zero. There is nothing wrong with us. I ovulate, I have had a TV scan and no cysts, hormone levels normal, sperm count great, motility great. We are a healthy young couple, why is this so difficult for us I just don't get it.

Trying to become parents is physically and mentally exhausting us and I'm starting to not want to put us through this every month, but whats the alternative?!

I don't do moping. In Need of a serious cyber slap across the face today ladies, don't let me down

 

[Naneth.Estel]

Massive hugs Stephie. Hope you get there soon, I know exactly how you feel, this is cycle 21 for us, it wears you out after a while.

I'm trying to stay positive this cycle. I've not been very good at temping at the same time each day because I've been ill and the shift pattern I've been on and because I've been a bit lazy, so I wasn't expecting my chart to show anything. But my OPKs and FF both agree on the same day for Ov, so I'm officially 6DPO today.

Doctor's appointment is on the 8th (when I'll be 8DPO, which is convenient for remembering which day of the month we're on) and I know it'll be too early to test but it's going to be very hard not too. The witch'll be due around 10th/11th I think.

Thanks it's nice (if you can call it that?!) to see ladies on here who have been TTC for a similar amount of time, no offence or insult at all to those that are finding it difficult to cope after 6/7month of TTC, I was one of those woman, just sometimes I need to see I'm not the only one who's quickly approaching 2 years and struggling to cope.

Best of luck at the doctors, I hope it all goes well! We have to wait another 5 weeks until our very first appointment with the fertility specialist at the hospital, strangely excited, which definitely tells me I've been doing this for too long!

 

[Naneth.Estel]

Yeah, I think it's one of those things that everyone deals with differently. Sometimes it gets to the point where you just can't help getting down, especially when you've built yourself up all month with symptom spotting and stuff.

Hope your appointment comes around quickly. We've just started having tests, but my 21 day bloods came back okay and so did OH's SA, so we're seeing the Dr to see what the next step is.

Aw girl I know it's going to happen for u. You two are healthy so there i's nothing standing in your way but time. Try to relax. Maybe this month don't monitor anything. Just BD every other day this i's all easier said than done I know. But I have faith that you and your DH will have a little bean very soon! I'm praying for u! You r seriously the most positive person on Bnb... Don't lose faith

 

[norahbattie]

Hey girl - I'll put you down for 10th now, and move you to 24th if your cycle ends up longer. If you are spotting now it could also be Ovulation spotting - it happened to me this cycle - I know it was O because I had O cramps and lots of EWCM and then that day and next day I spotted pink/brown and then it was gone, and now almost 2 weeks later I got a bfp.

I never had that before but then someone told me that's what it was, and judging by everything else it makes sense. Hope it's the same for you ~*~**~ lot's of luck and dust!

Hey greenpear
Thanks for this info, after you first noticed the pink/brown when did you BD to get your BFP? (congrats btw) I only see hubby at weekends, first saw pink on Wednesday and it stopped on Saturday morning. I haven't had any o cramps but lots of ewcm on Tues/Wedn and then dried up later part of the week.
How long after did you test? I don't want to waste yet another frer!

 

[norahbattie]

StephieB stay positive I'm in the same boat as you except I'm in my early 30, hubby never really wanted children hence we're trying so late into our marriage and now he does. He's been tested and is absolutely fine but blaming me for not giving him a child. Stay positive

 

[echo]

I completely understand. I have lied to myself, I have beat myself up, and I have tried to blame anyone and anything for why I am not pregnant. The reality is that my husband and I stopped birth control in 2003. I started charting in 2008, when it became obvious that NTNP wasn't getting us anywhere. I've learned a lot about my body, and my mind. After so many roller coaster rides, now that I am 32, I am ready. I am not going to stress about it anymore. The stress was breaking me apart. We are still "scheduling" bd for the right time and I am still paying attention to my cm and cp, my other cycle stuff. But I stopped taking all the supplements, I'm not temping, I'm not letting this rule my life. If I don't get pregnant, we will adopt, but I firmly believe that I am going to have children (plural!). Until then, every month I will hope (but not stress!). I have so many other things in my life to be thankful for. That said, I am in the TWW of my 33rd charted cycle, so hang in there. Everything will work out for the best. Stay positive, keep the love strong, and don't let this one element of your life define you.

Hello! Can I jump in on the November testing?? Put me down for the 11th! I'm going to TRY and wait that long. 11/11/11...sounds lucky right???

 

[RNTTC2011]

Major for those girls that have been TTC for so long. I have to admit that I am one of the girls who have only been trying for about 6 months and off BC for about a year and wondering why it hasn't happened yet. I think more than the charting and temping and supplements are the people who keep asking and congratulating me (I've gained some weight in the last year). That is the hardest part for me. I want to say yes and thanks, but all I say is thanks for noticing my fat belly. It's frustrating. Plus, I work with babies (sick and healthy) so it reminds me what I don't have ---- YET! I truly believe that it will happen for us. AND I truly believe it will happen for ALL of us!! I'm glad there is this forum for all of us to connect and have this support!
