Hello Everybody,

Anybody else in there one week wait?

Im 4/5 days off af being due and of course im going mad symptom spotting, and by that i mean, making stuff up in my head!

I know deep down i have no symptoms but i still find myself prodding my boobs and conviencing myself that i have been to the loo more frequently (even thou, i had a bottle of water followed by a large hot chocolate!)

The only real symptom i have is since yesterday i have been getting the occassional stabby pain down below, last night it felf more like a quick cramp, and also maybe a slight ache around my right overy, sounds werid but occassionally it feels a bit hot that side, like inside? Anybody expereinced that before? Also something else that is so insignificant, but on monday (approx 10dpo) when i wiped i had the smallest few dots of pinkish blood, literally 2 wipes and then nothing. Of course i am preying for implantation, but it could be anything.

I am trying to be good and not test, cos my now usually i would have but last month i got so worked up and tested loads and then felf stupid, so this month trying to be more chilled, its not working, i just wish i could test with a FR and then i can stop worrying and leave this month behind.

How's everybody else doing?

Hey Gem, honey it's sounding hopeful to me. I can totally empathise with you....it's so hard not to read into every little thing. Not long to go now.... xxx

Hi Gem i af left me two days ago so im just out the other side but wanted to add that i was also madly symptom spotting last month and was so angry with myself for the loon i became when af arrived, as it always does, i have too decided to be much more chilled over the next few months - what with xmas etc have enough to be getting worked up over!
will still be trying to seduce hubby every other night! lol! just not making myself so moody over it!
Good luck! xxx

Thanks girls but PMA has left the building already.

This is my worst time of the month. Infact i think i only have 1 stress free week and then is when af is here! Joy.

I am absolutely fed up of being a lttc'er, hate the fact this has ruled my life for over a year, In some ways i am looking forward to stopping the clomid and having a few not trying months before i start ivf next year.

As you can see i have already ruled this month out!

I'll keep you posted. Hope im wrong!

oops double post!

Hey Gem, keep you chin up. I know it's hard. We're at two and a hlaf years now and not even a sniff. I thought we'd done it last month even tho we didn't BD at the right time!! How mad is that?? Symptom spotting is the cruelese most awful thing in the World. This is just not far. If it isn't your month, just think that that means you are one month closer to when it is your time.

DO NOT TEST BEFORE MONDAY!!!!!!!!

Dont do it to yourself honey.... no matter how strong the symptoms are!!

Don't cave, don't cave, don't cave!!! You can do it.

So... tomorrow is Friday, last day of the week before the weekend. So do something nice with your hubby Sat and Sun, go out with some friends, keep yourself busy. Any plans for bonfire / fireworks night? Then it's Monday and then you can test.

How are things going with your foster teen? He must be keeping you well busy these days!

P.S. I do recall getting a twingy pain in my ovary area on one side around 10dpo the cycle I fell.

Aw Gem, sorry to hear your PMA has nose-dived. I always feel negative at this time of the month too. Combination of hope, fear and hormones I think....hope you manage to take your mind off it a bit for the next few days xxx

Everything crossed for you lovely, good for you holding out. really hope to see you have some good news xx

Thanks Girls, i knew i could rely on you!

Ha Ha, I was waiting for my telling off from Sim, but you should have never told me about the overy.. makes me wants to test even more

There is no way i am going to wait until monday... I will maybe just hold out until sunday, i think af is due sat/ sun? Sim, prehaps you can tell me, my af started on the 9th and i think my cycles are 30 days, as am i right you dont actually count the day af arrives?,

Either way if i get a early response surely it would pick up anything day 13/14 dpo.

I dont know why im even thinking this far head, for the past 3 months my af has arrived bang on time, and usually with cramps the night before so, lets just wait and see! Ive got meetings all day tomorrow and then a busy day saturday, and out sat night, so yes, shouldnt be too hard, also havent got any hpt at home any am not buying any!

To update with the symps, (tmi) today I have had some more ewcm, its not quite clear, but clear with a yellowy tinge and strechy. Also i could really smell my foster childs bad breath in the car, and it nearly made me vomit, and last thing twice this week, i had to change cutlery because it tasted metalicy.. i know if all prob nothing and i just being super sensitive to it all, but im just wishful thinking here.

Any ideas?

Hay Gem.
Hope you are well and all relaxed after your lovely wk end away. I hate to say it but your symtoms are sounding very promising. Do try to hold off testing tho sugar plum, hang on in there.
Have you got any more cycles of clomid left?
Lets hope this is your month. Chcuking a truck load of baby dust your way honey X X
PS Im missing you all like crazy, the ladies over in June are lovely but its not the same as being amongst friends here x

Sorry but you made me laugh at the bad breath thing!
You'll be due on Sunday hun as the first day of AF is day 1....oooh fingers crossed for you!!!

xxxx

How you doing hun????

Your symptoms sound so promising... I have absolutely everything crossed for you! xxx

Ah ha.. you crack me up! (Thats why I snuck the ovary bit in as a PS at the end!)

Yep, as Sparkly-flump says.. your CD1 was the 9th with first day of AF. So CD 30 is Sat, meaning you would be due with AF Sun. Let's hope she stays away though.... and go on ... test on Sun

BUT NOT ON SAT!!!

The bad breathe bit also made me

Your symptoms are all sounding promising honey, just dont let them get away and do your head in. Keep busy busy busy...only 2 more days to go. Enjoy your day tomorrow and have fun tomorrow night.

Will keep a check on you hon, everything crossed for you!!

xx

Everything crossed for sunday!

Wishing you all the best Gem, your symptoms sound soooo promising! Will be looking for your update....

Thanks Everybody, again exactly like last month i have no pma today, and the bloatedness and boobs are reducing so that makes me think progestrone is dropping, and i have a few niggly pains down below (like i do every month) so i reckon the witch will be here on time by saunday lunch time! I am utterly fed up with bloody ttc.

If there is any one up above looking out for me they will know that this is my month, i am seriously at my lowest point, and not sure how i can keep doing this month after month.

Oh well, i get like this every month, after the disapointment of af, i know i will perk up again (like you do!)

Keep those fingers crossed girls,

Hugs

Gem .

p.s Hi Helen, hope you are well, havent seen you in this forum for ages.

Hey Gem, sorry to hear you're losing PMA. It really seems like symptoms / lack of symptoms can happen for many reasons so I don;t think you can really tell until AF is actually here. You are still in with a chance sweetie, but I understand why you're feeling low...I get the same every month just before AF due. Everything crossed for you Gem xxx

Sending you lots of hugs my love. It is pants isn't it? I feel a bit like that right now too. It just seems so endless. And just when you think you are edging a little nearer something else is thrown in the mix. I get so frustrated that some people get it so easy and we have to go through all this. Like you say though we will pick up xxx hope you are wrong and it is your womb stretching or something equally positive xxx

Hope you're enjoying your busy day today hon, and your plans for tonight. Keep busy.
Hoping your PMA has increased today. And also hoping AF gets caught up in the bonfire tonight so she can't make an appearance for any of you lovely ladies in here this month - or the next 9!!!

xx

Hi Gem, I've reduced my BE time drastically and do pop on here to read but don't post as much as I don't know lots of people.
Everything is crossed for you and you will persevere if this isn't your month. Just think how much better that sticky bfp will be when we get it !
Chin up!
