[Tinkybell]

Hi All,

This is my first post, please excuse my spelling and if i get confused with what i'm saying, I am dyslexic (why did they make it so hard to spell)

I think i had my last period the middle of feb / begining of march.

I have had a few funny turns with food and sickness but that seems to have settled for the mo, i am constantly having to wee, i have had slight burning and cloudy when peeing and slight thrush.

My boobs are starting to get sorrer and i get crampy pains for over 2 weeks on and off....

I have been with my boyfriend for 4 months on friday 6/4/12 and have been on the pill for 3 of those and forgot to start re-taking them after my period (doc advised to stop taking it if i bled) so here i am now, having taken a tesco hpt with a bpn after about a minute ....


Please can someone give me some advice, i have noone else to talk to I'm strting to get concerned that af hasn't come yet or should i it and hope it all goes away?

Hi tinkybell and welcome to tww

I don't think you should ignore this. It could be simply that your cycle is messed up because you came off birth control or maybe you didn't ovulate or ovulated late. If you had unprotected sex with your boyfriend then there is a chance you could be pregnant. Considering you got a BFN in your test I would think that AF will come soon but wait a few days and if AF doesn't come then go to see your doctor to be sure everything is ok.

Thank you, if af came on the second of feb, my partener and I were active everyday over ovulation, if not my body is a mess, but i can't go back on the pill untill af visits, i'm alergic to latex, my chance of not getting pregnant are pretty slim, i am not sure if i would be happy about it or not yet, i'm aboput to have a huge career change which means being a student for the next 5 years..... arg!!!!

If AF came on 2nd Feb and you are pregnant then it would show on a test by now (although some don't show until later it would be rare in your case as you would technically be 2 months pregnant). The only other option is to get a blood sample taken as it can detect what a home test maybe can't. You say you were active around the time of ovulation but (unfortunately for us ttc) there is still only a 25% chance of successful conception.
But it's 50/50. The only way to know for sure is to go to your doctor and get a blood test done.
Try not to worry about it too much because it's not good for you if you are pregnant and if not the stress can keep AF away! Set your mind at rest and get a blood test done

So...AF is kind of here but kind of not...I've had some red blood, but not much and definitely not enough for this long of a cycle. I wonder what's holding things up in there.

DH pointed out that when I mc'd, I had a period (for 5 days), it started to go away and then I started to mc and had another longer period. I've been telling him that I thought the period before the mc was part of the mc, but he might have a point. He thinks I could be one of those women that gets a period despite being pg and so he's asking me to test tonight. I'm going along with it because this AF is really bizarre, technically it was late, and I'd hate to ignore him and then have another mc. Not expecting to see a BFP, but at least I can say I tried. And maybe after I POAS, AF will take notice and actually arrive. If she's coming, I want her to be here and gone before DH and I go on our trip next week. If she's not supposed to be around, I want her gone anyway. So...I guess we'll see what happens....

Hello Ladies,

I've been reading posts on this website for two weeks trying to make any sense of what is / isn't happening to me! I apologise for the length of this post, because I don't really have anyone else to talk to about this except DH and although he's amazing, well, he's a man!!!

I'm 30 and being unable to take any form of the pill from the age of 18 has meant that for 10 years, i was on depo-provera. Because DH and I were aware that it can take up to 18 months for the effects of the depo to remove itself from the body, I changed to the implant 20 months ago. Well, 3 weeks yesterday I had my implant out. I'd already convinced myself that it would take a significant amount of time for my body to even attempt a cycle because its been so long since I actually had anything happen (and I mean 12 years of nothingness - bliss if you're not trying!!)

So, was told that either AF or O would arrive first, depending on my body, and again, not knowing how long it would take, i started to look for cycle indicators. If we consider the date of implant removal as cycle day 1 (Tuesday 13th March) I had ewcm from Friday 23rd (CD11) to Sunday 25th (CD13) We did BD pretty much every other day for that whole week. I experience O cramping (only on the right side) on the Thursday.

Yesterday was 9DPO and for the first time in a looonnngg time, i had cramping, not as bad as i remember, but definately there. Lasted about 12 hours and focused on right side but could also feel slightly on left and in lower back. Today, (10DPO) most of this morning, whenever I moved from sitting to stand and vice versa, there was a pinch / flinch / fullness on the right hand side. Now being me (a very impatient person with OCD tendancies to be in control of things) took a HPT today and was not surprised by the bfn - mainly because there would be little change of hgc being in my urine after only 12/24 hours as it would need to go via the blood first.

Both my sisters and my mum pretty much fell pregnant on their first cycles, so I really don't want to get my hopes up. None of them either had any (any at all) symptons of pregnancy either (no sickness, cramping etc)

I've had cwcm and watery cm but do not appear to be drying up as most websites appear to indicate happens after O.

What is sucking about this TWW is every time i consider it could be a sign of an up and coming bfp, i have to acknowledge it could also be AF arriving, if that's the case, wish she's come already. Again, here's where my head gets messed up because the lutal phase (excuse the spelling) is pretty predicable and should be between 12-16 days not 9-10!. Grateful the cramping has stopped though!

Anyhoo, thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings. Sending baby dust to all those waiting and wishing for their bfp x

Ella - good luck with testing.... I do hope the real AF stays away....

Hi mrsscottish and welcome. I'm relatively new also to these threads but everyone is very friendly and helpful. all of us here seem to drive ourselves crazy during the 2ww not knowing whats AF or preg symptoms, nature's so cruel. I would give it another few days before testing to allow things to happen naturally but I know this is hard.

Just_wishing thanks for the link, found it really helpful. it would seem that AF is coming 2nite, i've had cramps all afternoon and a real heavy feeling in my pelvis so think it can only be the witch herself. keep u all posted x

Hi Tinkybell, Welcome to the TWW.

I wouldn't ignore it, but I wouldn't get too concerned yet either. The pills should still be effective if you took them for 3 months, even if you missed some. It can take up to 6 months for your body to regulate itself again after getting off the pill.

So there's a chance you ovulated later than you think you did (ovulation can change from month to month. When do you think you ovulated and what signs did you have that makes you think that?)

There's a chance you didn't ovulate this cycle, despite not being on the pill. It could be that you're having a longer cycle just because the pills aren't controlling when you bleed at the moment. There's a chance you caught the egg and you're preggo. There are a lot of possibilities. The best thing for you do to do is relax at the moment.

Symptoms of your period coming can mimic pregnancy symptoms because they're both based on the same hormone. So there's a chance that the way you've been feeling is a sign that AF is coming. A lot of ladies get sore boobs right before their period, even though it's something that's counted as a pregnancy symptom, because it's progesterone related. Just how sore are they?

The constant wee thing sounds like a UTI...you should go to the doctor to get that checked out and in the meantime, drink lots of water and cranberry juice if you can. Burning/cloudy pee isn't usually a pregnancy symptom....

I hope you find your answers soon. I'd say give it a few more days and test again. If it's still BFN, then you're probably just waiting for AF to come...and she may take her time. If you go another week without AF and BFN, I'd call the doctor about it.

But good luck, either way. I hope things turn out the way you want them to.

Thanks Dante - Nature is so cruel. I wonder what men did to only have to do what they have to do and women spent most of their lives trying to avoid something, only then to have to wait / try / wonder / chart etc because it's our bodies etc.

I will say these threds have been unbelievably useful in helping me to understand so much about both AF and TTC bodilyt functions, it is a shame that they don't have different ways of telling us!!

I know exactly what you mean and before I discovered this site I knew nothing about nothing but now I can have a look and find answers, the people here are so open about everything and really friendly. sometimes they say that its TMI but i say never, what's happening to them is happening to so many other people. would you like to be buddies so we can have somewhere to freely vent?

What's TMI? - I'd like to be buddies - how do i do that??

 

[Dante]

2 much info, still new to all of this so i'll try to figure it out lol

 

[mrsscottish]

Just had an idea - If i create a new thread in the TTC forum - then i can let you know what it's called - it can be a generic TTC discussion, so if either move forward we can still chat??

mrsscottish! Welcome to the TWW! I hope your wait ends in a BFP.

It's always frustrating when you don't know what's going on, especially since pg symptoms and AF symptoms are so similar, but give it a few more days and test again. Hopefully you'll get that BFP you've been waiting for.

Good luck!
