when have you been fooled?

tell us about a cycle that perhaps your body fooled you and you really thought you were pregnant but you weren't. I know aimee just had one of those - tell us what happened...

mine, i had no symptoms, which is usually a good sign for me, my temp was sky high and my chart was triphasic, i was a day late with AF, which never happens. I dipped the test into the pee and was so flippin astonished when it was negative. I got AF that day - even with a very high temp.

Last month. FF won't work right now, but I really felt like that was it! And I was 2 days late compared to my usual cycles. I didn't spot at all until CD 27 or something like that and it was always brown and really light. My temp never dipped close to my cover line.....UGH! So Frustrating!

My first cycle on Clomid. The meds amplified everything I was feeling- I had insanely high temps and my chart went triphasic. I didn't realize Clomid would lengthen my LP either, so at 16 dpo I will shocked to still have a BFN. Now I don't trust ANY pretty charts!!

I've had one or two tricky cycles. My temps were really high and I had all sorts of IPS. Add nice looking dips at 8dpo and AF being a day or two late. So frustrating!

This cycle now!!! I am having AF like cramps....started the other day. They come and go....haven't had this before! I just know it is too good to be true. I'm wondering if AF is going to show up a few days earlier than expected.

Haha Lynda yeah I was DEFINITELY fooled this last cycle! My chart was triphasic for the first time EVER. I had new IPS... hot flashes and was super emotional. I am usually nauseous starting at like 4 dpo until AF shows and sometimes even during AF, no nausea what so ever this time. I had a huge temp dip around 7-8 dpo and then spiked to my highest temp ever along with some pink spotting and creamy CM for 2 days. I also used IC's and got evaps starting at 9 dpo, they never got any darker, were super faint and all looked the exact same. I spotted for 3 days before AF showed instead of my "normal" 2 days of spotting. So yeah, IF I ever get a BFP it will be totally unexpected because I definitely can't listen to my body!!

back at the begining of this year.. when i had a 73 day cycle! and it drove me nuts..

mmmm. i had it last month. i was a day late and had been having all 'symptoms' from 6DPO.

I also realised i did something stupid. I carried on taking EPO all month and apparantly its not good as it causes uterine cramping (hence my symptoms). good for a healthy menstral cycle, BAD when TTC.... so today i take my last capsule and drinking lots of water. i must say my CM is lookin better these days.....

I guess for me ANY symptom is probably not a good thing....... who knows. i have never been preggy before waaaaaaaaaaaa

(sorry needed a vent lol)

Lee Ann, i'm going through the exact same thing!!! i'm not letting myself get excited at all!!! i'm thinking AF may show early too. HUGS girl!!!

Jackie, i gave up temping after Oing cause I got sick of pretty charts ending in BFNs
