Wow - lots happening this weekend ladies! I am really sending so much luck and sticky vibes to everyone!

I've been a bit quiet over the last couple of days - it's all got a bit too much for me :-(

Had the appointment at the Dr's on Friday afternoon to be officially "referred" to fertility specialists ... In UK that's how it works (which is crap ...) and forms are filled in and will be sent off this week once DH blood results come back (he had them done this morning after last weeks mess up!)

Cos of this, we decided that we should mention something to our parents, as they both have had no idea that we have trying for past 15 mths ....

So I told them both yesterday ... it now all feels abit more real and serious and scary ..... Of course, both mum's say - "You should just relax and it will happen!!" I know that easy for them to say as they have known for the past 14 mins and I have been trying to relax for the past 14 mths! and they just trying to be helpful and supportive ... OK - vent over ....

So AF is due tomorrow .... I'm either DPO 14 (according to FF) or DPO 8 (according to Mandy - who i actually believe more ...) so i did it again .... I POAS!

Now I am even more confused! I am not sure if it is a line, or a smudge, or if the ink has ran ... looks "smudgy" when flat, but when held to light - can see the edges of a line ..... can you have a look and let me know what you think!

Would be just my luck if I was - just when I have told parents! I'll take anything though!

@Wiggy, call me crazy but that looks pretty POSITIVE to me. Try again later after a long hold if you can't wait till in the morning!

Mandy .... really??? it looks so smudgy?!?!?! I don't know if I can wait .... :-) I am always in awe on how you ladies can hold for so long to do OPK's at different times of the day! as soon as i think i need to hold it - I am suddenly bursting ....

My boobs are so sore today, and I keep getting the feeling that AF is coming .....

Mandy - Are you still managing to hold out on testing - you are doing so so well ..... it must only be a day or two away now ..how you feeling?

Still no urge to test. My boobs were killing me all weekend and Saturday when my temp dropped I had TONS of CM and I woke up this morning to NOTHING happening :-) I put the smiley cause either way I am happy, AF comes and I start testing for everything. AF doesn't come and I am pregnant. My boobs no longer hurt, I dried up like the Sahara, and no cramps.. I assume my temp will dip Tuesday or Wednesday and I will get the witch the next day!
It's weird but I am kinda excited to get AF so I can start eliminating what could be wrong IF I am not pregnant.

@wiggy09 I had voted positive on yoir HPT Image even before I saw your forum post! Yup looks like a pretty positive to me, good luck!

Hello ladies!

@Wiggy- my dear, that is positive! Congrats sweetheart!

I'm sooo confused! Today I am 18 dpo and AF was due on Friday. All weekend I've felt like the witch was going to arrive so I haven't tested yet. I just don't want to be disappointed. In the last 14 months of trying to conceive, I have only been late once and that is when I was really sick with a bad kidney infection the 2nd month we were trying to conceive. I'm scared to test...I haven't really had an symptoms so that is what leads me to believe that I'm not actually preggers. HELP! What should I do

Hello all! Happy Monday! Or something....weekends go by TOO fast!!

missy - sorry AF showed up At least you can get on with the next cycle, though!!

fiver - TEST!!! Even if BFN, at least you'll know. I know what you mean about not wanting to test and be disappointed, though. I've had several friends who literally had symptom-free pregnancies with healthy babies, so you never know! TEST, BABY, TEST! We need some more BFPs around here!

mandy - I sure hope the old witch stays away, but at least you have a plan if she does show up. It's definitely a peace of mind to just start doing SOMETHING to figure everything out.

beatles - I was told by my OBGYN that I have a tilted uterus, which apparently a third of all women have. I'm assuming that's what yours is too? Or the shape of it...maybe I'm thinking something different? My RE pretty much dismissed the idea that the tilt of my uterus has anything to do with our problems, and I can't seem to find any research contrary to that Keep us updated as to what the doc says!

AFM, I tried to stay occupied all weekend....I didn't run Wednesday or Thursday to be on the safe side, but by Friday I was ready to jump out of my skin, so I ran all 3 days this weekend (just a total of 7.6, so nothing major) - plus got some yardwork done yesterday. Definitely tried to stay busy to keep my mind off things........ 2 days until the progesterone check, although I know that has no way of predicting pregnancy or not....just another step.

Anyway....hope you're all doing well.

I am so sick of waiting!!! According to my calendar (no temp charting), I O'd on 3/24, BD 3/23 & 3/24, AF would ordinarily come around CD29 (April 4) and nothing to date - no signs of it coming either.

On the "I might be pg" side, my breasts are heavy as anything, tender around my underarms, I felt a stabbing pain in my uterus on 11DPO, bfn's on DPO 11 & 13.....Mild headaches, extremely tire (but it's also the beginning of my gardening season)...

Just would like to know whats going on now, we're on CD33, and I ALWAYS get AF by CD32...

Maybe it's just anxiety/stress holding AF back.

Best of luck to all! **Baby Dust**

@Christi, how are you doing honey?

@bama, you okay honey?

Beatles - from what I know, which isn't a whole lot, different uterine shapes may make the sperm getting to the egg more "difficult", not necessarily difficult, just more work. Some women raise their pelvis in certain waits to help them out. Again, I don't know much...but its what I've heard here.

Wiggy - I've never had that type of test smudge, that looks like a BFP to me!

fiverson - I would test, you never know, some women have no pregnancy symptoms when they get a BFP.

lizpickone - stress can affect AF but if I was you, I would test. Babydust
