The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

Just a quick update on me.. CD30 now and still no AF, despite cramping and feeling crap. Gave in and tested ... BFN. What a surprise. But now I am REALLY scared something is properly wrong with me. I have NEVER been late before... not even by a day.. I am always either bang on the nose or a day or so early. I had a mega painful AF last cycle and have had strange cramps all through the month since. I am terrified that something has "gone wrong". It doesn't help that I have been losing hair a lot in recent months and suddenly have a lot of colourless hairs (grey... Shudder) ... I thought it was due to extreme stress (Sept 2013 had OFSTED in and I was incredibly stressed - more than i have ever been in my life!) but now I am panicking that its some kind of menopausal thing and that my last painy period was my last EVE|R period. :(

Sorry to heqar your feeling so rubbish hugs. Do you have pcos? if so it could well be that causing your hair to thin.I hope AF turns up for you soon.

I have never had a PCOS diagnosis but I DO have cysts on my ovary (only have one)... not sure why i never got an official diagnosis, I actually suggested that to GP when i saw her last but she said no, PCOS only makes your hair grow MORE? :cool: So i felt a bit silly for suggesting it then lol!

Thanks everyone for the hugs xx. I've not had anymore spotting, think it just came out with my cyclogest. Cramps come & go but am ok, hopefully no more spotting but will find out tonight when I use the cyclogest again.

SewIt I'm at ARI, so just a hundred or so miles out ! My clinic tests 15dp a 3dt, it does seem long compared to what other clinics advise but I'm not sure if it's because you should get a positive even if it's a late implanter by then. I phoned the clinic & they just advised me to continue with my cyclogest & test on Sunday. My period (28 days) would be due on Thursday & that was the day I spotted the last time. My OH text me an article about implantation bleeding but not getting my hopes up.

Tea I'm glad that you got everything sorted & are ready to go, it must be Norethisterone you are on. That's what I was on, usually you start on CD 21 until you are told to stop. Both times I stopped on the Sunday & I've started bleeding on the Thursday. It does make your AF a bit heavier and a bit more crampier than normal.

RG Many thanks, I went into work but as I just sit on Reception it's quite a relaxed & stress free job so would probably be on Google constantly if I was at home ! How are you keeping? Xx

Hugs to all that need them & sorry if I've missed anyone out xx

:rotfl:Its the imbalance of hormones that makes it thin, usually at the front like male pattern baldness.do you have any of the classic symptoms?

Hugs and stick vibes to all PUPO ladies.

I have a question about AF and buserelin. I am currently on day 11 of my buserelin injection my period was supposed to come on Saturday day 29 I am always the same cycle length, but today is day 31 and still no AF does buserelin delay AF. I have a scan booked on 3rd march to check if buserelin worked and to start stimming. What will happen if I don't get period by that time?

**Update**. No brown tinged cyclogest or bits in it tonight! Yaaaaayyyy!! No cramps either! Hoping that was the only cramp/brown spotting I will have.

PM I have never watched it, I know that I would be a bubbling mess so I can imagine how you must feel. Hopefully it's not too long before we are in their position (minus the cameras !) xx

FD It would be so good if we could all get our bfp. Its our 7th year with no contraception now and feel like its never going to happen.
