first of all a warning - this is going to be a bad mood/moany post so feel free to ignore it.

I am feeling really down today ladies. I am now 18dpo and am 5 days late for AF with nothing but BFNs to show for it

<--- this is literally me at the moment, i've just had enough. I've had symptoms i've not had before like nausea, extreme tiredness (ive been going to bed earlier and earlier every night), headache every day, lots of cm (sorry tmi), massive bb's etc etc, and most importantly no AF but no BFP.

I have a doctors appointment on wednesday to hopefully find out what is going on but i am scared they will just blame my weight and tell me they can't do anything to help and send me away without even a blood test to show for it. All i want from them at the moment is a blood test to see if i am pregnant and the tests just aren't picking it up for whatever reason.

I'm getting to the point where i'd even welcome AF just to put an end to this limbo i seem to be in. But then i'm worried if i start wanting that then i will kick myself if it happens rather than a BFP. I just don't know what to do with myself and DH is working today so he isn't here to help .

Sorry ladies i just needed to vent a bit xx

Oh Hun a big for you

I understand what you are going thru as I am in the same boat. I'm on CD40, no AF and dozens of bfn. I did an FRER yesterday and still a bfn so I am convinced I'm not preggers, though a tiny bit of hope still lingers
I am going to the doc on Wed also to get some blood test done and then make and appt with my obgyn. Phew! Hoping for some answers soon!!!

I would just say you want a blood test for pregnancy and the reasons why. Then tell them what you've been trying and timescales etc.

We waited 3 years before going to docs, so it might be best to just go and talk to them now and set things in motion. Even if they can't do anything right now, you should ask them when they should do something by and what you can do to get help.

They may do a series of blood tests to confirm ov etc. you have to go at different times of the month. But first of all, they should be able to do a blood test for hcg now.

Just don't think about the weight thing and play it down to yourself. Act like you already know and are doing something about it (whether that is the case or not) and make sure you take the conversation to other things because you can't do that over night.

Ok i'll try that thank you for your help hun i don't suppose you know how long it'd take to get results of a hcg test? i assume they wouldn't do it there and then, is it similar to the timescale of other types of blood test? if you're not sure then no worries . i wa doing something about my weight but all this uncertainty has made me emotional-eat and i've put the weight i'd lost so far back on plus a lb or 2

Fingers crossed for both of our appointments on Wednesday, let me know how yours go

Sorry hub I don't know for sure, but some of the other girls I know on here have waited 2 working days I think xxx

 

[StefanieC]

ok cool no worries hun, hopefully they'll do the test and i'll find out for myself soon. i suppose even if it takes a bit longer than 2 days at least i will be closer to an answer. i think i just need to be uncharacteristically strong haha: yeah right lol) and insist on a blood test

Aww sorry to hear and it is super ok to vent i kno u mentioned about the hcg test heres what i did plus i live in upstate NY i called my fertility specialist and just ask for a hcg never even had to go in and see the doctor they just sent my paperwork electronically over and i went to the blood lab at 8am and my nurse called me at noon with the results

 

[StefanieC]

hi mzportuguese, i live in the uk and don't have a fertility specialist so i have to go to my gp who will probably give me a form to have my blood taken at the local hospital. thats what has happened when i've had blood taken for other reasons. i just hope the results are quicker than other tests i've had.

 

[MaggzieP]

ok ladies here goes my photobucket attempts

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Urgh, CD5 and I dont think this soy likes me. Feeling sick after taking it

I may be a littleslow but i have noticed alot of ppl speaking of soy which exactly does that do? Sounds like it has worked success

It works like Chlomiphene Citrate when taken in the same way. It's known as "nature's clomid".

Sorry to read you're feeling like that Stef, I hope they will give you a test. To be honest, I left the doctor I had before this one for being all "it's your weight" about everything so if you don't get what you want, I'd look for another one, but that's just me. Hugs to you, hun xxxx

ps, last time I had bloods for a hcg test, I got the result next day so I think it varies from place to place.

 

[StefanieC]

I just want to say thank you to you all for your help with my doctors app on wednesday. I know worrying will do me no good, i just really don't like going to the docs and always worry they won't take me seriously. I just need to be firm about what i want (easier said than done for me). I'm going to try to forget about the appointment til wednesday. My DH has tomorrow off and I'm hopefully out with the girls for lunch or something on tuesday which will hopefully take my mind off it.

 

[Jo_Bean]

Good plan Stef. try and distract yourself as much as possible xxx

 

[DragonflyWing]

BFN at 11dpo this morning, but I'm having lots of creamy CM, which I never have. It's so rare for me that for a second I was like "wtf is this white stuff in my underwear?!" and then I was like "...ohhh" I hope it's a good sign.

 

[PandaMao]

Hi ladies. Just wanted to let you know I didn't drop off the face of the earth. This TTC business has me feeling down recently so I'm just taking a break right now. It's been 9 months (I know many of you have been trying longer, so I feel bad complaining about only 9) and I really thought we would have been pregnant by now. My doctor checked all sorts of hormones and everything is fine. I don't have PCOS, or thyroid issues, or high prolactin (my first test was high, but I was retested and it was fine) so I'm just left wondering if everything is fine, why isn't it happening? I took a test today at 9dpo and BFN. AF is due on Friday, but I'll be out of town camping for the weekend. If she doesn't show up, I'll test on Sunday when I get back, but I'm really doubting this month is it. I'll be back around when I'm feeling more up to it. Baby dust to all of you!

 

[CdnEquestrian]

For the ladies that are feeling down lately....we have all been there. You're in good company, and you should never feel bad about how you feel. We're HERE for you to vent and get it off your chest, to people who understand where you're coming from!

When I had blood drawn at the hospital for HCG, it took a day to get the results back. I got a call with a "no" answer, and was told to follow-up with my doctor. I hope they pull blood and at least can give you a definitive answer.

I get to call my doctor tomorrow and get my results from my estrogen check, which will tell me whether or not I can go ahead with the provera, and then the clomid. I picked up both prescriptions and have them sitting on my coffee table. I'm sooooo nervous!!!!

Hang in there, curvy bumps!

 

[StefanieC]

Ah thank you CdnEquestrian thats so nice

I did another test this morning and yet again was BFN

Is anyone really good at chart interpretation? I was wondering if maybe i actually ovulated on cd34, 36 or 38 as i have dips on those days? I originally thought the dip on cd38 was implantation but that was a week ago so i would have had a bfp by now if it was

 

[CdnEquestrian]

I'm no expert, but could be on CD38....see if your temps stay high, or give you another nice dip like that as an implantation dip. lol Remember though, not everyone GETS an implantation dip during pregnancy! Good Luck! You aren't out until you're out!

 

[Charmjoy91]

Hi, Ladies!
Ive been wonderin' what all those beautiful glitter sigs were all about, i thought it was a insider type thing. Im happy to know its open to the B&B community, specifically for us Curvy Gals! It would b great to join this group for extra support & i'd be honored to wear the Team Curvy Bumps on my Signature sleeve! lol Please, can i join, Jo_ Bean? You Lovely Ladies seem so awesome! I need some positivity & I love dishin' it back out!

 

[CdnEquestrian]

We'd love to have you, Charmjoy!!! Welcome!

Just make sure Jo adds you to the list. Do you need help adding the curvybumps glitter to your siggy or can you figure it out on your own?

 

[StefanieC]

I'm no expert, but could be on CD38....see if your temps stay high, or give you another nice dip like that as an implantation dip. lol Remember though, not everyone GETS an implantation dip during pregnancy! Good Luck! You aren't out until you're out!

Thats what i thought. So maybe the reason AF isn't here yet is because i am only 8dpo not 19dpo like it says. If i did O on CD38 instead then it looks like we will have missed the eggie this cycle . If that is the case then i should be due for AF on Friday so we shall see

 

[Lika]

Hey everyone how's my curvy bump gals doing? hope y'all had a fantabulous weekend!
Nothing happening with me really... Totally gave up on AF showing on its own, I guess I just "skipped" a month... Totally weird but oh well, Wednesday will be here soon enough and hopefully I will have some answers
Meanwhile I decided to blow some steam by working out I have to remain positive, and even if I lose a few pounds I will always be "curvy" it's in my Latina blood lol

Sending and to all my friends

 

[Magan85]

Congrats on your BPF Mzportuguese! H&H 9 months!

Welcome back CndEquestrian! And welcome to all the new ladies!

Hugs to all the ladies having down days! And Panda I know how you feel! This is our 8th month and I feel bad whining about it when some of these amazing ladies have been trying for years, But somtimes I just cant help but whine! Lol

AFM i am on CD 18 and I think I usually ovulated between CD17 and CD20 but this month I am a bit confused. The last few months I know when I ovulate because I get ovulation cramps and AF shows up exactly 14 days later. The first month I noticed the cramps I had got my +opk the same day. This month though I had the cramping on friday which was CD15 it wasnt as painful as the last couple months but was the same type of pain.. but I think it was on the same side as last month which is what is really confusing me. Although I could just be not thinking right and maybe it was on the other side last month. Anyway the day after I thought I ovulated a friend of mine gave me 3 boxs of clear blue ovulation tests so I thought well if I take them and the line fades over time then maybe I have ovulated and if not then I can start testing now and wait and see if it comes ontime. Well the lines are getting lighter is my theory right? If they get lighter have I already ovulated? I know leading up to my Ovulation the line gets darker and darker.. ive just never tested after... lol
Also for a few days before the day I thought I felt ovulation pain I had a lot of CM but not so much now... Why must TTC be so damn confusing?! lol

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Well...anything in life worth having, isn't easy....so that's my answer to why TTC is so darn confusing.
