Could you have ov'd a week ago with your agonising cramps?

My AF always arrived on time after injections/clomid etc, but I knew when I ov'd as well.

Whenever I have tested with OPKs, they have shown that I have OV'd any time between CD14-CD21, so to OV on CD26 would be unprecedented - but since I didn't test, I simply don't know. Anything's possible I guess!

Not knowing what is going on is starting to do my head in though..and I'm running out of HPTs! Have already wasted a CB digi so won't be making that mistake again!

It is a real slap in the face, each and every time..!

Only got one of those left now...saving it until I *know* it's a 'yes' - even though that makes very little sense either!!

So I'm SS'ing - I can't be expected not to areally when AF is 7 days late..

I have obviously all the cramps and the feeling like AF is coming (but doesn't). Have had them now for about 10 days on and off.

I have slightly yellow-tinged (sorry..) EWCM.

My boobs do seem bigger...but I've put on a few pounds this month anyway.

My mouth is full of saliva.

None of it this is very conclusive though...

I'm hungry all the time, I can't sleep and I have headaches.

All of this could be significant or not, I just wish I knew!

Negative tests obviously not good news...but lack of AF..?

Sorry - going slowly mad.

Hang in there Chickpea, it could be 2ww symptom, but fingers crossed it is something beany:o

I will hang on in there QQ, just running out of patience...

I just want to know! I *demand* answers!!

Chickpea, I was 7 days late after my first cycle of ICSI (not that AF, but the AF following it) and I'm a 26 day girl regular as anything (most i've ever been was 28 days)

Can I ask ladies, those who have had ICSI/IUI - I finished my norethisterone yesterday and have had cramps yesterday and today like quite bad AF pains. Last time I took norethisterone, it was 5 days before AF arrived so i'm sure it can't be that. I would have been due AF tomorrow if I hadn't had the drugs.... Of course we were bd'ing at the right time but after over 2 years of nothing, I refuse to get my hopes up at this stage.

Day 6 of sniffs here and the sweats are driving me insane, little mood swing 'incident' this morning but other than that coping well. Start stimms the day after my birthday all being well. on 4 ampules of menopur this time instead of 3 - high dosage for my age I guess (31) but if I works I don't care.....

Sorry I have never taken the norethisterone for ICSI just always have the buserlin (more shots!). Hope you start the stims soon and it all goes well. I'm 34 and take 6 ampules, the max, I have gone up each time I have had my ICSI it was only my 3rd attempt I was on 6 ampules from start to finish and got my best result, even though it was a negitive. Here's to the next one.

Good luck everyone

Hi everyone,

All 7 of my embryos are still going strong and I'm booked in for transfer of the best one tomorrow, day 5 so they are hoping for a blastocyst by then ( last contact with the clinic was yest when they were all 8 cells).

Any advice for after the transfer gratefully received! Do you guys do bed rest or not? My clinic have just said take it easy that day and back to normal the next. Also thinking about a holiday, we have friends we could go to see in Dubai? Would you do a 7 hr flight 5 days after transfer? And what about the heat?? I just don't know what to do for the best!

juicygirl - good luck for tomorrow.

I have another scan tomorrow, will see what it brings. I asked the nurse about travelling, and she said she wouldn't advise the long haul flight. We are hoping to go away after transfer as well, and it is going to be Mediterranean most likely. But I might not know when can we go until Friday.

juicygirl & gin - good luck for tomorrow

hope you don't mind me sneaking in for a quick question - does anyone know what the upper BMI limit is for being prescribed clomid?
thanks xxxx
