Well i think im sure about being 16 dpo, now 17, i have quite a regular cycle. But i didnt do any opk's and i didnt chart any temperatures. I had ovulation symptoms around the time i was supposed to ovulate.... ....
still no sign of ... I tested again this morning and still got a bfn ... Can i be very wrong about my dpo? Can it make a big difference?.... I've been reading so much stuff on the internet its making my head spin... Im starting to think that the tests i took might not be able to do very early detection even if it says it can...., because everything i read says that i can test the first day i miss my period, and its been negative everytime...im gonna look for other tests today. And no af for almost 4 days has to mean something....right? ...

Hi ladies I am def in the crazy club. This month I was so convinced I was preg that even after I got evil af I did a test lol! My husband would kill me if he know how much money I had spent in the last 6 months. Really started to get frustrated. Got af yest. adn the thought of waiting another month is so upsetting :( My close friend who started trying same time got preg last cycle which is so hard for me well jel I have to say! Got preg with my daughter in 1 cycle so even harder waiting this long. Have had minor endo removed 8 months ago but was told fertility has not been affected. Why is it taking so long? Any tips for getting preg? TTC is taking over my life !!!!

signs looking bad ladies cramps so bad feels like she will be here any min

Rosy- it is always possible that you have low hcgs levels or that you O'd late. Even if you're always normal. Seen so many girls on the forum that have never been late and either showed a few days to a week late or they got their BFP or worst case...developed a cyst. Being that you're only 2-3 days late..I'd keep testing for a week (cause the dr will probably tell you that anyways) and if no AF and bfn's, I'd call doc. The wait sucks...trust me I know! If it's really driving you batty , call the dr today and demand a blood test.

Dont feel bad Yummy...I've done the same thing wondering if I was one of the statistics that gets AF while pregnant. We're crazy and proud of it here! ROFL! I'm sorry the wicked came . Wish we had some tips for you but apparently nothing has worked for us yet. Trying to decide whether or not to purchase more fertilitea. It's ok to be jealous of your friend. Telling you not to be is like telling you not the breathe when you want it so bad. Spend this first half of your cycle relaxing and rejuvinating. Take the money you'd spend on tests for 2 weeks and spend it on a massage and pedicure. Maybe even get your hubby a massage too. It will reduce stress and stress hormones and I know that relaxation is a biggie in TTC. Plus...massage is just awesome feeling!

Keeping my fingers crossed Lammy!

DH was so cute last night. He had a nightmare I was mad at him and woke up worrying I was really mad at him. That's not the cute part...the cute part is that he's starting to dream about our first child. He said we had a little boy...2-3yrs old cause he was walking. With short brown hair. But his head was down so he couldnt see his face but he had dh's ears . He's reaching the next step of baby fever...dreaming about our babies and remembering their features. Heehee!

I just came across this topic and realized there are some similarities to my condition. Let me post what I've written earlier:

I'm 16dpo and 3 days late. Cycle has always been regular. All tests came out negative. But I definitely have those symptoms (unless I'm starting to imagine them myself).

However, for this cycle, I am completely not feeling much of myself. Since 9 dpo, I have a series of symptoms (though not all at the same time): cramping with bad constipation, lots of gas, sore breasts, frequent urination, increased body temperature, pangs of dizziness, lethargy, loss of appetite.

There's a time where I felt sick, suddenly break out into sniffles as if flu-like symptoms but yet it didn't develop into one. A few days of dizziness that occurs in the evening. Lethargy for a few days. Noticeable frequent urination between 9 dpo and 14dpo. I also feel like flutters in the tummy sometime around 12dpo. What's more apparent is the sore breasts. Breast tenderness for this cycle started around 9dpo and beginning 12dpo, it is noticeably swollen, with soreness especially at the sides of both breasts. And I started to notice veins on my breasts as well! On the overall, I feel like I'm in a limbo - feeling lousy (and sick!) but yet, I'm not! *confused*

However it's Rather reassuring to know that I'm not the only one going crazy. I've been testing like there's no tomm hoping a faint line to appear. Haha!

Tara - AF is due Tuesday, 18th.

So Af started!! ...so i must have ovulated later. This cycle i am definitely going to use an opk...maybe it will make things a little less confusing. ....Now the waiting game starts all over again....

Thanks Lammy nice to know I'm not alone! I have started taking preg vitamins which aparantly can help and also drinking much less tea. I'm a teacher so consume copious amounts at present ha ha. Also thinking about trying green tea.As for stress- well it comes with my job unfortunately so hard to avoid it! Really going to try to relax about getting preg though and just make sure we do it reg. My friend that just got preg went against advice and had sex twice a day during ovulation and that did it for them so might try that this month. Sure hubby won't mind lol!! Stay positive ladies xx

came bang on time ( with 30mins to spare lol ) im looking at that being a good thing that i know im a 28 day cycle

not sure if we are going to try as much this time as the next month or so is going to be stressful as DH has to find a new job but we will just see how it goes

im now to a 9lbs loss now alomost at 5% loss
