Flipping heck how many pages today! Welcome to the newbies and Congratulations Tinkwings :T:T:T:T
Hi Gymfriend (we obviously have stalkers from the pg thread on here too then!)
Thank you so much. I really want to be following in your footsteps and you can tell me how awful it's been! Hope you aren't doing too badly. On the me front well still no sign of af, all cramping gone but have had a stitch like feeling on my left side today. Felt dizzy/fain again this afternoon but that could just be mind playing tricks on me! Good news on the blood test though as levels were fine so no af is not due to that again!
Gymfriend have you had to have an mri whilst you've been pg? I had mine last weds and get the results on monday. I was quite shocked to read up about the dye they've used previously and am thankful they didn't use it this time (think they've mucked up on that one!) as not a cat in hells chance I owuld have had it done if there had even been a teensy chance of being pg.
Oh wow everything will be even more crossed now you know it's not the prolactinoma, when are you planning to test? God I'm so excited for you, really really hopeful for youReally impressed you're somehow holding out from testing too!!
Nope no MRI whilst pregnant - I've been lying low and hoping not to be seen too much, I know it's a bit naughty but hoping for a lovely straight forward water birth at the moment so trying to stay under the radar so they don't collar me and stop meI dread to think what they do to us sometimes, and the effects the drugs have on us, I'm semi tempted to just stay off them once baby is here and see what happens, if no AF is the only symptom & the headaches don't come back, I think that would be ok
eta: Yes, I stalk you all :P Particularly you Becs!!Baby Boy arrived March 25th 2010 - 17 days late & 8lb 10oz :j0 -
Ooh good luck Missy!!
Wow Sleepy Tiger you sound like to had to do an amazing amount for someone so young! You'll make an amazing mum no doubt
I was chatting a friend about it all yesterday, she's desperate to have a baby. She's had 2 mc's in the last few months and is really low at the moment. She was saying that she wouldn't miss a 'party lifestyle' at all, and I kind of understand that. I'm 36 and have had a blast..been all round the world, met and known some amazing people and partied hard (a bit too hard someimes I have to say!), so I could never say I've missed out on anything.
I'm glad I waited..I only hope I havent left it too late!Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -
BFN! :'o( But I dont understand how AF can be 8 days late when that has never happened in my life and the test still be neg... Am in tears didnt realise how much I wanted a baby, and how difficult and hard this is mentally..... I'm sorry for moaning as I know you have all been through it lots of times, it sucks doesnt it.0

Ah sorry missy its rubbish when you get your hopes up isn't it? Don't be sorry for moaning - its what this thread is for! Hope you feel a little better tomorrow...0

Hi Gymfriend,
I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up. I did a test on saturday because it was works xmas do but it was bfn. Was only 12dpo then which is my normal lp so I know it's still early. I'm going to try and hold out until wednesday as would have thought af would have shown by then. I'm convinced it's just another cruel hoax!
Glad to see you're keeping under the radar. I think if and when I ever do have that elusive bundle of joy I will come off teh meds until we're ready to try again. I've heard a lot of women stay off the drugs and everything stays normal after pg so here's hoping! The bromo makes me feel really nauseas in the morning so would never know if I had morning sickness! I can't believe a bfp is possible, I don't want to let myself believe. It's been so long now.
I can't wait to hear all about your little one when they arrive, do you know what you're having?
Missy sorry it was a bfn, mother nature can be 1 cruel biatch at times!0 -
aww Missy I'm sorry hon
. Sometimes though people can get BFN's and still be preg though can't they? Maybe you sould have a chat with your dr?
I totally know how upsetting it is hon. It's so disappointing I know.
Hugs to you xxMetranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -
missy sorry about the bfn, i've done tests before and had a bfn but then a week later got a bfp so theres still hope. if i can remember rightly (bad memory at the mo!) is this your first cycle off trying?0

Thankyou everyone for your kind words, can't believe how upset I am, I had practically convinced myself I was pg as I am so late.... stupid I know.
Think will make an appt with the doc tomorrow, am now even more worried there might be something wrong with me that there is no AF!!!
God I hope every month isnt as mentally painful as this, how do you all cope? Do you just write this month off and wait for the next and start again?
Thanks for the hugs my goodness I need them, I so wish OH was here, sometimes it's crappy him working away.

Aww thanks MV. You'll be great mum too. I think we all will, because we want it so much.
missy, sorry it was a bfn. Sometimes AF just stays away to make us crazy I think.
becs will keep fingers and toes and even legs crossed for you.0 -
Hey Laura Lou We've kind of tried on and off since early Sep I have been off the pill for six months and was lucky enough to have AF straight away and was regular straight away, this is the first month I have been late0
