I've been getting crampy pains mainly left side but some right and yesterday some shooting pains down middle that were very brief. Broke out in big spot near mouth (never get spots) yesterday, mild headaches, tiredness and slightly darker around nipples (I think). Also had lots creamy cm last few days- need to wear p/liner so much! Strange - for last 5 days I have had sore sinuses/ lots mucus back of throat and felt as if flu coming on but it hasn't got any worse (snd nose clear so not cold). Wonder if possible preg sign? Oh I so hope so... but don't want to get hopes up as could be pre menstrual symptoms? I have also been very moody (according to my hubby!) :/ ↑
i have just been goin to the bathroom more often than usual, my sister and bf noticed it. i dont have any signs of AF coming... so, 6 days to wait, plus a few more just to make sure if it doesnt come when its supposed to. lol. i also have had creamy cm. but with that its kinda hard to tell if it means anything... b/c it could just be AF coming... ↑
So you going to wait the 6 days then? I got some of the clearblue 4 day early dig tests. I know low % of positives at that stage even if are preg but it's such a long wait until weekend!! I may test Wed.. ↑
I am going to wait at least 6 days. I tried using one of those early ones and it was neg. even though I was a day late for my period. And then I ended up being pregnant. Besides that, its not uncommon for it to be a day maybe 2 late... so Im gonna hold off until I have reason to think its not gonna come. lol. ↑
I'll wait with you too! I have 6 days as well untill AF, been having some symptoms, so we will see. I'm 9 dpo, so, I doubt anything would show up on even an early test. Vagymnast, you said you have been preg before, so will this be your 2nd baby, if you are preg? ↑
I wasnt able to go through with that pregnancy. I am also worried b/c I have an appt at my ob/gyn for a colposcopy b/c my last pap smear was abnormal and ive heard that causes bleeding. I hope it wont mess anything up or that I wont be able to distinguish between that and AF... this is so frustrating!!! ↑
Well 10dpo and I couldn't wait another day.. I was planning on doing test tomorrow but thought I'd try today instead. First I used Clearblue 4 dy early- It showed the horizontal line and a very faint very thin vertical line. So I did a clearblue 'digital' 4 dy early to see and it was 'not pregnant'! I also did one of those dip 10miu paper tests and it was negative. I know it is prob too early to test yet but I couldn't help myself. Now hubby is cross caus now we need to buy more tests. Why do you think the tests gave conflicting results? The vertical line on test1 was thinner than a sharp pencil line but doesn't any line mean positive? I am confused.. ↑
Hey petal - its all depends the time frame in which the line appeared in. I'm 7-10 dpo right now (i'm not sure exactly which dpo i'm not because I messed up my temps so my chart isn't showing me my ovulation date but af should be here between July 1st and July July 5th. So I have quite a few days left ↑
Sunday is the magic day, and its funny b/c at work today I was still goin to the bathroom alot and one of my coworkers asked me if i had taken a hpt yet. lol. sunday is the magic day though, the day AF is supposed to come... so far, thats my only possible sympton is my many trips to the bathroom. lol. how are the rest of you ladies??? ↑
vagymnast-I am with you on the bathroom thing for sure! I feel like I have to go all the time, it is really getting annoying! Had my urine dipped for UTI and nothing so I know its not that. Had a quant. HcG blood test done today so I should know something by tomorrow, I am hoping for a BFP! Send baby dust my way ladies!!! Today is 10dpo for me, so I figured it would be enough time for the hormones to kick in. But yes, sunday is the day that AF is suppose to be here, so, we will see, I mean, implantation can take as long as 12 days, so who knows! BFPs for everyone! Stay positive! ↑
mommytoaandk- Don't get upset if the results are negative. many times the hormones aren't strong enough at 10dpo, so But I'm hoping you get BFP tomorrow, please let us know how you make out ↑
Can I wait too? Hubby doesn't know but I think we may have our second on the way. I messed up my pills this month... Anyway, if I am , we will be happy, as we were planning a fall 09 baby anyway... so it'll be spring instead! We already have one (2 year old boy). Today I feel nauseaus for no reason. I hadnt had much of an appetite the last few days either. Some mild cramping today as well. I'm trying for the life of me to remember my symptoms from the first time around!!!! ↑
lillybug-thank you so much for your support! My Dr appt today revealed I had a cyst rupture which left behind some fluid which was causing pain, so she prescribed me this stuff to take for pain, but I got home and took it and it did not work at all, so I called the office back to talk to someone and the nurse told me that my endometrial tissue looked a little inflamed on the ultrsound, which my dr failed to tell me at the appt, but they cant prescribe antibiotics or whatever until they get my hcg test back tomorrow! Sheesh!!! I didnt sign up for all this crap, it was so easy to get pregnant with my first 2, we didnt even try, it just happened! Well, I think I am out for this month, I guess I will be going on round 3 of ttc, which isnt bad, but it is not what I am used to, I am used to him just looking at me and getting preggo! Lol! Ok, so I will keep posted! ↑
well, only 4 days left to wait...i am still goin to the bathroom often. but thats as far as my symptoms go. I dont even have any symptoms of AF yet. My lower abdomen feels a little sore, but not noticable unless I am really thinking about it. Its pretty much a 50/50 shot right now... so we will see. and momtoaandk, let us know how your hcg test turns out. ↑
I will wait with you as well if that is ok. I have 6 days from today I am due for AF on the first. I am trying for my 2nd...this is our first month trying and I have a lot of breast tenderness...that is about it. It took me 3 1/2 years of trying to have my first and we concieved her with the help of fertility. I am thinkin it can't be this easy this time but I guess we will see. ↑
Wow girls! You girls are getting closer and closer to testing date or AF, I can't wait to see a positive test result! Both for you girls and for me. If I got pregnant this month I won't be telling my family and friends until Labor Day (three months pregnant) only because I have a cousin due in August and I don't want to take from that. plus I miscarried once and so I want to be safe and sure that I'm pregnant and stay pregnant. lol I'm getting nervous about my approaching test date! I'm starting to get headaches now! and my cm is coming back, I was dry for like three days and now its like almost egg white again, but negative OPK so that means Its not due to ovulation! Mommy------ Sorry about the results, at least you can get it all taken care of now so that when you go into round 3 you are feeling better ↑
So I'm 11dpo and I did a walgreen's brand Early preg test with my FMU and it was a BFN :( Maybe its still too early, I didnt test with with my first 2 until after my period was due, so who knows. Still waiting for my hcg results. I just kinda have a feeling that I am out for this month and will just go onto round 3 ttc. Thanks lillybug, yes, I am glad that things will get resolved this month so next month I can be fertile mertle! ↑
a few days left to wait... only time will tell. momtoaandk, did you get your results yet? I still dont feel much of anything, just kinda normal. how bout the rest of the ladies waiting??? ↑
I am sitting here in tears at minute. I am 12 dpo now and had got what seemed like faint pos on test 2 dys ago (earlier post) with a 4dy early test. So I waited until today and bought a 6 day early early response test. My af is due in 2/3 days. So I tested and got a BFN. My temp has also dropped by .2 degrees celcius. My estrogen levels accoding to colour of an ovulation test stick I did have also dropped from yesterday. I am devestated. Lost a baby in April so want this so much... I thought I had all the signs too. Can't stop crying, my husband and I so want a baby we would be so happy to be blessed with just one even. We stopped drinking, only eat organic food and take all the vits.. bd at all right times with cbm..can't do much more. Do you think there is still a chance I could be pregnant or should I just accept I am not? ↑
oh petal, I am so sorry! I got a BFN on my quantative hcg test today, at the ER to boot! I was having such severe pelvic pain that I had to go to the ER this evening. So I am definitely out for this month, maybe July will bring me something :) Petal, you should def. wait 2-3 more days and test again, dont give up quite yet, Mother Nature has some tricks up her sleave, and you know, if you detected a chemical pregnancy, it was meant to be that way, because it is your bodies way of not having to bring a child into this world that isnt completely healthy, you know! Everything happens for a reason, so hang in there girl, chin up! ↑
Thanks momtoaandk. So sorry to hear about your ordeal. I hope July is the month for you! Our systems really are so complex and confusing, aren't they.. even when we do everyting 'right'. I still can't stop crying.. I want this so much.. your post made me bawl (but I really appreciated your reply). I also did a saliva test today aswell and it is covered in fern pattern! This usually means high estrogen levels.. and should only be seen at time of ovulation. So what does that mean? I haven't seen the ferns since ovulation.. My husband says I shouldn't do any more tests- just wait but I am back at work on Monday and don't know how I will be able to cope with seeing pregnant co workers (who got preg same time as me). I thought if I got a bfp then it would be ok but if i am not pregnant it's going to be so hard to get through the day. ↑
petal- i know how hard that would be. it sucks to be jealous about something like that. wishing you could be in their shoes. *sigh* well, i still dont feel a whole lot of anything... about 3 days left give or take... so we will see, still about a 50/50 shot. im not gonna get my hopes up though, b/c i always seem to get disappointed... ↑
Well felt really crampy lower left side yesterday afternoon... and this morning AF arrived. I feel numb. Seems my system is still getting back to normal after lost baby. I am devastated. I researched reasons for m/c.. I know it was not genetic or chromosonal so another possible is too low progesterone to sustain. As they don't do tests in uk until 3 m/cs it's impossible to know if I have hormone imbalance so I looked for natural balancer online-
Apparently MACA is fantastic for this and it is a natural food but can help with fertility- balance hormone levels... Some people stop taking once find out preg and others carry on through. They have only tested on mice during pregnancy so can't recommend for pregnant women as no tests/results yet but some women have had great results using it.. and peruvian women have been taking it for centuries through preg.. So I am going to start taking it today. It is also supposed to be good for OHs too and is said to make both sexes very horny and increase his sperm count! Here's an extract from website about it for your info ladies:
Unlike infertility treatments with hormonal drugs, which is basically resumed in taking synthetic risky hormones, "natural maca acts totally different in your body. It stimulates your own hormone production, by inducing the optimal functioning of the pituitary and endocrine glands", says Dr. Chacon (Nature & Health magazine, nov. 1999). Rather than taking risky drugs for infertility treatments; organic maca acts naturally, nourishing your glands and inducing proper production of your own estrogen progesterone and testosterone hormones. Dr. Chacon's discoveries of the pituitary stimulating effects of maca are enormous. It is important to know that maca do not itself contain any plant-hormones or plant estrogens like black cohosh and other phyto estrogen herbs, but its action in the body nourishes and jogs the pituitary gland into producing your own bio identical human hormones and ends up raising not only estrogen, but also progesterone and testosterone hormones naturally. Many people wonder if these herbal treatments for infertility can really provide the benefits of restoring hormonal functions and increasing fertility. What this product does is simple: MacaActive nourishes hormonal glands making them work and function better. You'll feel active and younger, you will be able to increase all of your hormone levels naturally in only a week of consumption (this is because it acts like food does). Research on consumption of MacaActive for infertility treatments in both sexes tells us that a consumption of 3 to 6 tablets a day have proved a great increase in men's sperm count production and women's progesterone hormones to help infertility. With MacaActive you have a safe, effective, nontoxic way to significantly improve your hormonal functions naturally.
Anyone using it now or in past with good results? Or even neg ones?
well, you can count me out too... AF came last night right before bed. with no symptoms or anything that it was on its way. well, I guess we are all just gonna have to try again next month. ↑
well has anyone ever heard of anyone being 7-8 days late and still being pregnant? im now 18 days late , but i havent tested since i was 7-8 days late, but i feel like i could be. i dont know. anyone? ↑
vagymmast - 8 days until AF is suppose to show for me so I will wait with you. I did cheat i took a hpt on 8dpo and it was neg and the today is 10 dpo and I took 2 hpt and one was a faint positive and then I took the 2nd one and it was negative. I am suppose to test on cd 27 & 28 I will keep you all updated. Krissy68 ↑
ok girls since you girls are not on the other forum I'm on I will repost what I just posted on the other one ----- OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! OK so I have been secretly testing every day for about five days and always and i mean always the test came out negative (internet strips) also I never got evaporation lines on them afer the ten minutes. so I tested this after noon and when I looked at it ----- there was a super super faint line!!!!! So I'm hoping that it was one of those error test, where you see a faint but it never gets darker! So I will test again on Wednesday with FMU and see what I get on that day. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me????? ↑
