My last period began on July 9th and ended July 13th. Suddenly after years of very short cycles, 4 months ago, I began to have 28 day cycles like clockwork...until this month. Now I'm a tad late and I'm going to do a hpt in the next couple of days to see if there are any buns in the oven. I also don't want to wait too long because 2 years ago, to my shock and dismay, I had a 12 week ectopic pregnancy which left me with only one ovary. DH and I haven't been actively trying to conceive, but we haven't been trying to prevent it either. We just BD when it feels right for us and if it's meant to be, it'll happen. Our son is almost 15 so I know if I am preggers, it's going to be a totally different ballgame, especially since I'm 35 now. If anyone else is waiting, drop me a line.

Hi Cyndi! Yes - I'm waiting too (trying for baby #1) although my period isn't due until the 19th. However, I'm a bit unsure about when to test because before I was on BC I was irregular and then when I came off the pill (in Sept 2005) I had regular 28 day cycles (very useful!!) until I got pregnant after 4 months of ttc. Unfortunately I miscarried after 11 weeks and since then I've been irregular again (35 days after miscarriage - not unusual apparently -and then 25 and 29 days.) So I'm now saying to myself that I'm on a 27 day cycle based on an average of the last two periods. Anyway, I've had some symptoms but they seem to only last 48 hours max and now I don't seem to have any except (this evening only!!) a "tired" lower back! I'm driving myself NUTTY as usual (LOL!!) and can't wait to be able to test. However, I will be good and wait until at least the 20th before I pee on a stick as I don't want to waste them or disappoint myself unnecessarily. I'm so sorry about your ectopic pregnancy and I REALLY hope that you get a BFP soon!!! When are you going to test? If you're already a week late and AF hasn't arrived, and considering your earlier periods were short, I would say you should test ASAP and send me some good news (and vibes which will rub off on me too please!!) -:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-•. •:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:- LOADS OF BABY DUST TO YOU -:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-•. •:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-

I am waiting on my husband to get home now from running errands and getting a HPT. I will definately keep you posted. I hope you get a BFP too! I decided to wait at last a week after AF didn't show to test, just in case I'm having some weird cycle. I had 2.5 months last year that I didn't have a period either and did the blood test at the doc's office, which was negative.. I don't know if just having one ovary is changing my hormone levels or if I'm experiencing some early hints that menapause is just around the corner. I'm hoping that this time though, considering my sleepless nights and exhaustion during the day, that it's good news fromt he stork. (I usually never have a problem sleeping and usually never get up in the middle of the night to tinkle, but now I am) I hope your back doesn't give you too much of a problem and that it's due to muscles stretching and growing for a lil bun in the oven. I'll let ya know something as soon as I know and I am wishing you the + in the window! -:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-•. •:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:- LOADS OF BABY DUST TO YOU TOO! -:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-•. •:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-

Well, I took the HPT on the 15th with negative results. Still no period so I'll wait another week and test again if AF hasn't shown up. I'm still tired through the day and waking up at night to pee (which might explain the "tired all day" thing). I'll catch up with the "ttc before bleeding" thread. hope you ladies are doing well<3 p.s. i'm having a huge increase in CM that is a constant now for the last week.

Hey Cyndi. Sorry to hear that you're still testing negative but don't dispair - it might just be that you've not got enough HCG yet. I have to say, I really admire your patience!! I know that if I was late and testing negative that I'd be testing every morning or else going to the doctor to find out via transv____al ultrasound. I'm way too impatient!! LOL!! By the way, thanks for the baby dust. My period still hasn't arrived but then as I said earlier I really don't know when it's likely to come. I think I o'd on the 4th (ewcm) but I still have no idea if I have a regular 14 day wait after that before my period normally comes. We shall see. As I said in the "ttc before bleeding ..." thread, I've had some symptoms but they've all been really short-lived so I'm not laying too much hope with this month. Also I've been pretty grouchy today which is often a sign of AF arriving. I'm trying not to be negative (as my husband says - "be careful you don't wish for your period!!") and am constantly telling my body to "keep it all in!!" LOL!!!!! What will be will be! I'll keep you posted in the other thread - hope to see you there soon!
