Mrs HH - I'm a bit confused re your cycle. What cycle day are you on? )Count CD1 as the first day of your last period) What day in the cycle does that Sat you had those pains fall on? If we assume you ovulated then, did you BD anywhere in the 5 days before to 2 days after that day? If so, you could be pregnant and you would be around 9DPO today, which is too early to test. Friday would then be the best day to test but you could test on Thursday - like preg_pilot suggested, stay away from the digi as they need a higher level of hCG to show a + and you want to test earlier. GL!
bakingbabe - yes, I took it in pill form as I can't bare to take any liquid syrups! And I took Musinex as that's what my DH always takes when he gets a cough - I rarely get coughs so I don't have a 'favorite'. I bet Robotussin makes an equivalent to what I took but as long as it has the Guaifensein and no allergy type meds in it, it should do the trick! And I'm sorry you're having a bad day! But tomorrow is a new day and I hope it is a better one for youOh and I'm totally in for sharing some of that cake if there's enough to go around
Tumtum - Musinex expectorant increases your CM production and CM is necessary for the spermies to travel up your vjayjay and uterus to their destination. Think of it as the river through which they swim so the higher the water level, the better
Alisa - how frustrating indeed! Hmmm I started a board for women who just came off BCP and there's quite a few of us on there - perhaps you can see if anyone's experienced something similar?

I had a short cycle (4th one after BCP) but it was 19 days. Basically, your body is used to being fed hormones that tell it what to do and now you've taken them away so it's struggling to figure out it's own hormone production to tell it what to do. It's normal for this to happen but you still want a doctor to know about it and to keep an eye on things to make sure there isn't something else causing the early bleeding. You should call yours tomorrow. And sorry to hear your man didn't take it well when you asked him to do an SA - mine got pissed off too and got all defensive but then he came around. I think it messes with their masculinity and stuff so their instinct is to get all defensive but hopefully he'll come around.
Luna - I'm not sure how you missed your surge as the LH remains in your system for a decent amount of time and you should have caught it. Also, we tend to surge in the afternoon they say! Did you stop liquids and hold your pee for at least 3 hours before you took the test? This will help concentrate the LH. If you did all that, perhaps your body doesn't surge much and you can test twice but it might be hard to hold liquids and pee for 3 hours twice a day!!! Or maybe you missed it because it happened on a day before or after when you thought it should? Just thinking out loud here I'm in the third week of my 6th cycle so I'm with you - it does seem like forever!!! But maybe 6 is the new third times the charm 2x the charm??
AFM, I've had a bit of a rollercoaster of a day that's left me exhausted. It's only 10pm and I'm heading to bed after posting - my usual bedtime is 12:30am! I got up early to finish the proofs for that client I shot last week then I battled my iPad which wouldn't let me put the proofs into this one proofing app and left me tearing my hair out. DH has a cold so of course 'it's the end of the world' and was *not* helping with his snide comments and we ended up arguing. I even teared up! Then I had to rush to shower and get ready to make my meeting to show them the proofs. Fortunately, they LOVED them and it was a great session - they ordered a bunch of prints which made me feel good. Then, we had a good dinner but I got all stressed when DH decided to nap rather than help me clean up when I was feeling *exhausted* and had a headache - the adrenalin of the stress of getting ready and through my client meeting wore off and I felt awful. Not a good day and I just want it to end! So heading to bed
You are sooo good at keeping up with everyone! Hope you get some rest and feel better.
Assuming AF doesn't get me of course!!
to all!
I'm CD7, how did that week go by so quick?? Hoping this week goes by as quickly.
whenever we feel like it. I don't know how many more months of this I can take 
!! A very happy and healthy 9 months to you! I hope you pop back in here once and a while and let us know how you are doing and share your great journey with us! YAY!!!
