grateful im only 3 days late! so i guess i should just stop worrying as thats not too late!

If its any help, I always set my test date for 5 days late....that's about as long as I can manage without caving in.

So, resist the urge for another day, buy a test on the way home from work tomorrow and test on Friday morning if AF still hasn't arrived. There - that's a compromise, isn't it?:)

after spending a sleepless night because the Dr's left me a phone message to ring them up for an appointment, i'm currently awaiting another call from them. Initially they said i needed blood tests, which i pointed out i had last week. My results are in and they were all fine except my gonatrophine & endatrine (probably spelt completely wrong!). I apparently need more blood test but the receptionist wasn't sure if they had to be a specific times, hence waiting for another phone call. grrr talk about frustrated. By the time i'd got to work, to make the call, i was either pregnant, my diabetes had worsened, my thyroid had packed up or i was dead, why don't these people realise the stress they cause by leaving stupid cryptic messages on telephones?
sorry moan over....
I'm on CD28/29 (i think) just waiting for AF to arrive, 8 weeks of bleeding stopped last week so at least i've a few days free of that. Now i'm just worrying that AF will be with me on my scan date next week, which they will probably want to do internally like last time, and it will get cancelled or something.

Also just to let you know that I found it hard at the beginning, I was thinking about it all the time, getting really upset when AF arrived and cross when my plans to have a baby by 1st wedding anniversary, before I was 30 etc went out the window. It's much easier now I've learnt to relax and go with the flow a bit more. There is so much chance involved that you really are best to take a what will be will be attitute if you can!

This made me smile - hopefully it will make you smile too

ODE TO INFERTILITY

'Twas the night before your period and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even your spouse.
The tampons were waiting in the bathroom with care,
in hopes that Aunt Flow would soon NOT be there.
Your future children were nestled, like dreams in your head,
while visions of cramps start to come before bed.
You're sure you are pregnant, your breasts are so ripe,
you examine that toilet paper each time you wipe.
But you just might be pregnant, you have all the signs,
so why does this test never show those two lines?
And you cry on the floor until you are ill,
tomorrow you'll refuse your prenatal pill.
"Come nausea, sore breasts, and frequent urination!"
"On weight gain, fatigue and then to lactation!"
We are getting impatient, our clocks start to tick,
but each month all we do is pee on that stick.
We know more about ovulation than our family doc,
so please fill our womb before our friends newborns can talk!
We thank all of our relatives for those sympathy hugs,
but we've spent our whole salary on fertility drugs.
Our spouse has more sex than his full teenage years,
but this time he's not bragging to all of his peers.
So before our next cycle, lead us the fertile way,
Happy baby-making to all and keep periods at bay!

Perdi and curly I'm going to be very schoolmarmish and say if you can cope with the disappointment of being aware of a very early miscarriage, then you should test.

People who have been through this wished they didn't test til later, but if you can cope, go for it!

I know, I know. But part of me is feeling rebellious.
I think I would be ok if there was a v early m/c, part of me would find it obscurely comforting to at least know something was happening. I get no OV symptoms or very much CM, my periods are light, not very painful and ridiculously regular. I read about people's cycles on here and wonder if I'm wierd.

I know I could just be patient but I'm not very good at that, even if I test and get a BFN I wouldn't be upset as I know it's early, and it'll break up the waiting.

Anyway I have just bought a beast of a sandwich and a pot of roast potatoes so I am v happy

Afternoon everyone

I had this idea for when waiting for those LOOONG minutes to tick by on a pregnancy test.

Find a song that you like that is the appropriate length of time in accordance to the test time, and play it

It seems the time goes quicker that way

Mine is 'Dragon force - Valley of the damned' its 6mins long and my ebay cheapies take 5 mins. So i get an extra minute if processing time


Still no sign of AF. Im sooo impatient :rotfl:


OH thinks that the cat thinks im pregnant, as when i was pregnant before he was really aggresive, and then when Lily was born he calmed right down and has been lovely these past 8 weeks. But now he's aggressive again.
I hope he's right

I can relate to that, I don't want to build up my hopes too much either.
Getting an early BFN will bring me back down to earth:p

BUT, I've decided not to test early this time:cool:
I only have 1 test in the house, and I'm only going to use it if I am definitely late.
