Due my period either Saturday or Sunday and totally winding myself up, I hate this part! Have a weird taste in my mouth which is probably because I'm only getting over a cold and felt really nauseous earlier, gagged at the smell of an new air freshener I bought, probably because I was up hours and hadn't eaten anything. But no of course in my head I'm definitely pregnant

Hi Angeldight. I am in the exact same boat. Due Saturday or Sunday and have the usual AF pains but up until today I was convincing myself I had pregnancy symptoms. It's so hard and I know I will be heartbroken again when AF arrives this weekend! I hope we both get BFP's though!!angeldelight wrote: »Due my period either Saturday or Sunday and totally winding myself up, I hate this part!

Aww Angeldelight I'm so sorry you got a negative. I actually bought 2 tests this evening on the way home from work but chickened out of testing at the last minute!! I had to take a HCG injection this month and that can stay in my system until next Tuesday so I was afraid of getting a false positive! I know AF is on the way though and told Hubbie last night but they don't really feel the same sadness we do every month. I guess we just have to have a really good cry, pick ourselves up and try again for another new month. It's exhausting mentally and physically but we have to believe we will get there in the end! Take care of yourself this weekend. If AF shows up Saturday I plan to ditch the endo diet for a night and enjoy a few glasses of Vino so I hope you do something nice for yourself too!

Big hugs Angeldelight, I hate that time of the month when you are late and start to believe, why are pregnancy symptoms for simular to pre period symptoms, it's SO UNFAIR!!!!
I have an irregular cycle, so I am never quite sure if I am late or its just a long cycle. I have tried to stop testing when I think I am late, as someone once said on here it's almost easier to get AF than a negative.
Take care pet xxx0 -

I don't know. Maybe cause deep down we all have some hope
My boobs are killing me today, but I think it's just Aunt Flow starting to rare her ugly head! I joined slimming world, so no cake for me, it has been such a great distraction this month!0 -

How are you getting on? I'm currently doing slimming world as well but being bold... I can't face cooking anything yesterday or today don't know why but wouldn't mind baking! Have resisted so far as I've no butter and not in the humour of going to the shop0 -

Good luck with the diets ladies. I am also overweight (by a few stone) and hopefully ttc will give me some motivation. I know the last time I lost weight my cycle became regular as clockwork so it just goes to show how much of an effect it has. Maybe I'll rejoin a slimming club, could use all the help I can get tbh 0

Welcome Broodykitten, hopefully your journey will be a short one pet xxx
This is my third week in slimming world, I have lost 6 lbs so far and am finding it very doable. I am former weight watchers, so it took me a while to get my head around just how much you can eat and still loose weight. I really feel this is the plan for me, I can't understand how it works, but I could definitely keep it up long term
Glad you had no butter in the house, you'll feel better afterwards that you didn't eat the cake, I am SOOOO looking forward to a nice glass on wine tonight.
MS2011 that is an amazing achievement, good on you! Any tips or hints you want to share ;-)
On a side note, my boobs are bloody killing me, I feel like Diana doors, they are all swollen. My husband thinks they look great. Aunt Flow you have a lot to answer for!!!!!0 -

I've done 4 months of injections (I didn't respond to clomid so I was quickly moved on to injections) and it really isn't that bad. At the start I kind of thought I wouldn't be able to do it either, and my husband will generally do it for me, but I have done it myself on occasion and it's been fine. The needles are so fine that you rarely even feel them going in. I've used the pen and the ones you have to mix yourself and they've both been fine. At the start it was a bit of a pain because I figured I'd have to be at home to do the injections and couldn't have a night out when I was on them. I've realised though that if I do need to go out I can just take the injections with me, stick the cool bag in my bag and off I go. (I haven't done this yet because the need hasn't arisen but I would if I had to. I don't drink and I don't stay out very late when I do go out to the medication would be fine.) I've brought the medication away with me for a weekend and it's been fine.
I haven't experienced any mad side effects. If anything the Provera to bring on a bleed gave me mood swings that the injections haven't. My boobs are pretty much constantly killing me and I tend to eat all around me but I think I'm just using the injections as an excuse to eat all the food.
Don't worry about it. It really isn't that difficult. If you build it up in your mind as something you can't do then you will make it much harder for yourself. There are loads of videos of You Tube, both from the drugs companies and from regular people who have to inject. Some of the regular people are total drama queens about the whole thing but if you look at a few videos you'll see that it really isn't too bad.
Best of luck and fingers crossed everything works out for you all.0 -
I know it's different for our other halves as they don't have the hormonal side of things to deal with as well but sometimes I feel like bashing my husband over the head. I'll have a moan about not being pregnant yet or something, I'll think great he's being so understanding then an hour later he's forgotten about it and he'll be asking "what's wrong with you" again... ehh I just told you!!!!
My body's playing tricks on me I think - still no sign of AF, and this is the end of day 31 of my cycle, after the last three being 28 days, have had 2 negative tests on day 28 & 30

Hi Mrs Mastiff,
Strange I also had that pale pink discharge this month, around the time of ovulation, never seen it before either. I've heard people on here talk about implantation bleeding but this didn't occur at the right time to be that.
My period is now 2 days late (i know, hardly time to be popping the bubbly) that is compared to the last 2 cycles which were both exactly 22 days long. I also got cm today that I would associate with ovulating, clear & stringy - weird to be getting that just before AF? Anyway I don't have a preg test in the house, but I read on here that an opk can double up as a preg text so i just did one there and there is a 2nd line, not very strong but it's there.
this month both the hubby and i got medically checked out and they found slight thrush (sorry for tmi!!!) so we both had to take medicine and abstain from dtd til it cleared up so missed the crucial days :-( which was a killer. however before we knew about the minor infection, we did the deed but it was 6 days before I ovulated (i.e. the day after i the darkest line on the opk) so I didn't think it was possible to be honest!
Dare i hope against hope?!
Damn right you hope.. An OPK was positive both times a pregnancy test was positive for me. The LH and HCG hormones the tests detect are apparently very similar or something. Go get a pregnancy test! 0 -

Dizzy most days, too warm, very tired & have been feeling a bit of motion sickness on train that I never normally get. Will try putting it to back of my mind as negative tests made me think its probably not happening this time. But I do have a few seconds of hope every day that passes without AF!
In the same boat here... Today was day 33 of my cycle - did a First Response this morning though and it was negative 0 -

Fair play Stickybean! That sounds like a really great thing to pour your energy into. I know some skinny malinkys don't have to worry about this stuff, but for most of the rest of us women unfortunately it's a daily battle....and it always will be.
I read this book called The Fertility Code and in it he says that fat cells secrete oestrogen and if a woman has too much oestrogen in her body it can throw her cycle off kilter and hence be an obstacle to conceiving. That's obviously not the case for everyone...I'm sure we can all think of examples....but you're dead right to give yourself the best possible fighting chance

Did one - BFN
My period is overdue and I'm getting ewcm and faint lines on opk....I must be having some kind of crazy cycle......if I didn't know that it's impossible I'd think that I'm ovulating again twice in one cycle or something!0 -

With the utmost irrationality I have decided I hate First Reponse.
They have always been too too eager to tell me that I'm not pregnant. :P0 -

Me too and I had to stop.
I bought a shed load of OPKs and pregnancy tests. I drove myself nuts taking them, in the morning, in the evening of the same day I'd already gotten a negative in............I was being really silly and getting myself worked up about it all of the time.
At the end of June when I still had no BFP I was heading off on holidays and decided to give up with the mental testing and leave my first pee of the day alone.
I came home, we had done the deed at the right times and still no BFP. Decided on acupuncture with a guy I've attended many times in the past for various things and have felt great about it and more relaxed since I started with that.
I've had two fertility acupuncture sessions and this month was the first in which there was a window of opportunity to conceive. We'll find out by the end of next week if it was successful or not. If not then its ok. I'll be disappointed of course but oddly enough I'm fairly relaxed about the whole thing now for some reason.0 -
