Any news yet GirlieCat? So hoping you have good news. Think I am on opposite time zones so was hoping to hear before I go to sleep for the night. Really hope this is your month.

Am stalking for updates as well! X
BFN on two different tests, one of the cheap ones and one FR. I feel devastated. I really really thought it would be positive. I don't know what our next step will be...more tests? Another round of clomid? RE? Ugh. I am so upset.
Oh Girlie :(
I';m so sorry, could it be that you implanted late and are just testing negative?
If AF has not arrived there might still be hope right ?
GirlieCat, you're not out until AF. You could have ovulated a little later, or had slow implantation.
KelBear, I've had round ligament pain twice at 4-5 weeks. My doctor said it's common early on in subsequent pregnancies, although during the TWW would probably be too soon
At this point I actually hope AF comes because if she doesn't I will just get more confused. I have no hope that it will change to a positive.
I have had non stop cramping, all day, everyday for 7 days. Sometimes on the left, sometimes on right, sometimes all over. I think it is either cysts or just side effect of clomid, but of course until my BFN I was hoping it was implantation or pregnancy related. It has actually only started to get less intense yesterday and today. Going to ask for an ultrasound to see if it is cysts.
FX it's just too early, GirlieCat! I hope you just implanted late. :hugs:
So sorry for the Bfn girliecat, it must be some frustrating but as the other ladies said your not out until af arrives. Does clomid mess with your cycles and could that be the explanation? I only got a weak test at cd 14, so if you implanted late, you may be earlier in your cycle than you think. It's your first, you see I knew from previous pregnancies when to test, keeping everything crossed for you x
Huge hugs Girliecat! I'm hoping it's too soon to test for you!
I'm sorry AF has found so many [emoji20]!
AFM- I'm waiting to ovulate. We will either attempt tonight it tomorrow night, since we're doing E3D or E4D. It seems this whole TTCing business is about waiting [emoji13]! I'm SO getting over it already!!
FX we all get our BFPs soon!!

Hubby I was CD 16-18 when I ovulated on clomid. Girliecat you should keep that in mind too!
Girlie at I am so sorry it was a bfn. Sending a big hug. You are not out til af arrives but I know it is hard to have hope once you see that bfn. Hopefully one more month on clomid does the trick and October is your month and more time on Clomid might help sway pink even more.
I'm out too, couldn't wait to test any longer, bfn on frer at 12 dpo. Wish I knew what was causing my cramping and pulling pains for about a week each month prior to AF. Thought maybe the no spotting and pulling pains might have been a sign this was my month but apparently not :sad:
KelbeR- can be a sign of ovarian cysts. If you are concerned speak with your doctor.
Thanks burakoam, I think I will see my gp about it as something just doesn't feel right. I never used to get much pain even with AF prior to having my son, now I have cramping/ pulling/ pain pretty much right from ovulation to AF.
Kelbear, so sorry you got a BFN too. I spent the day depressed and on the brink of tears multiple times. Your symptoms soundsQuote:

Eager to see what it shows. I just need to know if my tubes are okay (not blocked) and how my ovaries look in terms of cysts.
Hopefully an ultrasound can either help you get some answers GirlieCat or at least put your mind at ease if the ultrasound comes back clear. The last few days I was almost sure I was pregnant - stitch in my side, gassy stomach, face flushed, vivid dream (I never dream - hubby had to wake me as I was yelling in my sleep! Hate it how I get so fooled into thinking I am pregnant when I know better not to symptom spot. Just so disappointing when your hopes are dashed. Really feel for you as I know you have been trying a while. Sending comiserations. Time to drink wine and eat chocolate for a night.
Now hurry up AF so I can get on with next month.
Can that interfere with getting a BFP ?Quote:

Since af has returned after having DS the pain from o til af has been very noticeable. I think I need to get it checked out. At least I have not had early spotting this month (previously spotting from 7-10 dpi til af) so maybe my LP is sorting itself out now DS is breastfeeding less and has dropped his overnight feed. I know I should just be patient and a bfn this month means more time on the Le diet so will be 10 weeks on it by next attempt but was so hoping to have a close age gap between DS and his sibling. I am ok getting a bfn when I don't feel pregnant but hate it when my body tricks me into thinking I am then says 'ha ha tricked you'. I think I really need to get a referral to an obgyn to look into things.
I just did some googling and apparently ovarian cysts can cause false positives on pregnancy tests but didn't find anything on false negatives. I am resigned to the fact that af will be here in the next few days, just want to know why I have so much cramping after ovulation all the way to af.
Sorry Girlie and Kelbear! I got a BFN at 12 dpo today too. And I've been having a little spotting since Tuesday. So I should get AF today or tomorrow. I can never fully give up hope until AF is here in full. But I'm out. : (

Sorry Girlie and Kelbear! AF also arrived for me today. Went to the fertility doc to have blood test done to get my hormonal profile. My fertility doc want to give me Gonal-f-injections (100 iu 5 days) and trigger-injection. I tried Clomid one time which resulted in a very weak lining and a missed abortion in July. My doc say Clomid is not good for me because it makes my lining thin. I am confused what to do. Should I continue ttc natural or go to more drastic method? I am so afraid of a multiple pregnancy. On the other hand I am running short of time. I am 41.
So sorry Kelbear!
Dreamsister, I'm moving onto injectables next cycle. I'm sick of waiting. I've been ttc since Mar 2015. I've had 2 miscarriages in that time. I've also tried Clomid and my RE says Femara won't do anything for me since I don't have PCOS. I just want to have a baby! The risks are about 20% that you could have a multiples pregnancy but you could let your doc know that you don't want multiples, so maybe they'll have you trigger with fewer follicles. I personally don't mind having twins. They run in my family, so they don't really scare me. You could also try more attempts in your fertile window before moving onto injectables. Only one attempt in your fertile window will definitely drastically reduce your odds of conception. Just some things to think about. :)
Congrats to everyone who got BFP's this cycle, I was taking a break from the boards this cycle but checking in occasionally to see how everyone was doing. Here is my two cents Dreamsister. :)
I would take the injectibles as even those don't give you any guarantees that you will become pregnant. I am about to turn 40 next month and have been trying for baby #2 since March 2015, I have had 1 miscarriage and 2 chemical pregnancies since starting fertility treatments in December. Clomid gave me weak ovulation and thin lining and had no BFP's while on it. I next moved onto Femara which I am told will make you ovulate if you have PCOS and if you already ovulate on your own it just boosts the amount of follicles per cycle (I do not have PCOS). 3 months ago, after 2 back to back chemicals, I started doing combo cycles of Femara, Gonfal F, trigger shot and progesterone supplements in the 2WW. So far no luck for me, although I did get 3 follicles this cycle but that doesn't mean you ovulate all 3, I will start testing tomorrow so fingers crossed this cycle works. If you really want another baby, I would try anything at this point but I am not really afraid of having twins since with my age this will be our last shot at having additional kids. (triplets on the other hand scare me :) ) Good luck in whatever you decide, hopefully Goldie the sticky egg appears soon for all of us.
AF found me, which wasn't really disappointing since I already had my BFN. Now to move forward with what to do next. I have an ultrasound scheduled tomorrow to check for cysts and the overall health of my girlie parts. I posted some questions in another thread if anyone can help with some guidance. Thanks.

tfan thanks for your two cents and taking time to answer my question. Wow you have also been on a long ttc-journey. I think you are right that I should try anything at this point. I think I will do the injectables (staring tomorrow night) and see what happens. I cross my fingers for you. Will you update in the 2ww October thread?
momamia4 - thank you for your opinion and story. Good point. How exciting you are moving onto injectables. Then we can be injectable-buddies :-) When do you start? And how much will you take?
Good luck Dreamsister. I think injectables are the way to go too. I hope it does the trick for you and we see a BFP for you in October.
AF just arrived for me too. :sad:
So sorry af arrived for you ladies, it is suçh a frustrating time x x
Sorry AF came, GirlieCat and Kelbear. :(
I've been almost entirely off the wagon this week and it's making me nervous. Expecting O around Monday, and I haven't exercised all week, haven't had any fibre/coffee/alcohol, and my diet has been just ok. I think we'll do this cycle couch potato and hope for the best, I'm too invested in TTC right now to not attempt.
Don't worry too much foxtrotmama as I think it is the overall pattern of less that is what sways, hopefully a week of no exercise won't make any difference and if you have still been doing the le diet even loosely with a few cheats you won't undo all your previous effort. Good luck, hope this is your month.
I'm so sorry that AF has found so many [emoji20]! Hang in there ladies- it will happen!
AFM- I'm still waiting to ovulate! I haven't gotten a positive opk yet. I am doing E4D plus one attempt at positive opk.
FX we see more BFPs! Is anyone still waiting to test, or do we need to start the Oct 2WW thread?

What will the October thread be called? O is a difficult one, ovulationtastic? Hope it is a great month and some of you lovely ladies can move on to the dd threads! X
What about omnipotent, opportunistic, optimistic or opulent? Last one is probably my favourite! X
"Outstanding" is another possibility.
I'm sorry to hear of all the bfns. I'm already approaching ovulation again, so I will be entering my second September 2ww. The first one was the last week of August, 1st week of September. Sending baby dust to everyone! :)
I vote for Outstanding October

AF arrived for me yesterday too! What a let down this month has been! Hope you get a BFP at the end Katt!

Outstanding is a great option, hopefully is for all you guys x
When are you set to ovulate Katt? I'm close to ovulating sometime in the next day or two. We may be cycle buddies!
I'll go ahead and start an October 2ww thread, since there are quite a few starting a new cycle [emoji20]
