There's only one question on my mind: Am I pregnant? Did it happen this time? But no-one can tell me! Am only 5dpo so def no way of telling. Sitting symptom spotting and troughing down mini eggs thinking, could be pg/likely to be pms. Not even like I expect anyone to be able to give any advice or look into crystal balls...just wanted to say on here, I find it quite annoying. Roll on next week...

Ah I've been boob prodding too! Enjoy your drinks. So far I've been on the squash only.
Ha ha Dh has just streaked across hall, living room (at front of house) door wide open! I have been obsessively checking the toilet paper when I wipe today...no news is good news!

No, Barr's! It has actually made me feel really sick. Eve though I know perfectly well the sickness is from glugging chilled carbonated drink too fast on a hot day, I am still all thrilled at having a potential symptom!

DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 17:11

hehe that did make me laugh
Would that be a crabbies ginger beer you have?

PatientGriselda · 22/04/2011 17:04

I'm sure a cocktail would do no harm whatsoever. I have got one hand full of ginger beer, for drinking, and the other full or bosom, for exploratory prodding.

lol Just got back from work and dog walk, miss out on so much chat!

Have read that you should take you temp after at least 4 hours sleep, before you wake up and do anything, I'd figure any temps took with less sleep wouldn't count. And no, doesn't sound like bringing tea back up could be in your head but then the mind is a funny thing.

I've pretty much lost hope on any BFP this cycle, going to get myself a nice juicy cocktail and start enjoying the sun in a sec. Won't be overdoing of course, just in case, but am thinking I'll have to really get down to business next month Wink

Ooh yum! Sounds delicious.

Reckon I'll down tools and head round to Dsis house to play with Dnephew instead. Random aside, bought ice lolly maker and made some this morning, tropical juice, yum!

Oh, and hve a nice rest! DP has gone to church, so I too have downed tools and am now lying in the sun for a while.

PatientGriselda · 22/04/2011 14:45

I stocked up yesterday, in fear that shops would be shut on Easter Sunday and I would be all hcg-ed up with nowhere to pee!

I may tackle garden in a bit but currently having a little rest from all the cleaning/tidying!
Need to go to supermarket to get a test for Monday will have to wait til I take Dh out on the town and go on way back. Have none in house at all!

PatientGriselda · 22/04/2011 14:00

I am doing therapeutic gardening! No point doing cleaning while DP is doing DIY and unleashing dust and crap in every room. Will wait till Tues and have a splendid blitz.

No AF yet. Boobs are incredibly sore and I'm on CD 43. I am not testing till Sunday though.

Or us it? This temping us confusing! Which temp should I.count? The pre-wee one - which in fairness could be 36.7 or 36.1 cos it was so dark I couldn't read it, or the nice high temp from 1.5 hours sleep/1.5 hours bed rest?!

Yeah am.cd24 so think I will try.to wait until Monday.cos there's no point in multiple 'early testing'.cos technically I'm not due on til Monday. Thing is I'll have a pretty good idea either way cos I'll either have a temp drop or 18 high temps!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 07:18

lol nah not quite, 14 temps sounds reasonable for a 27day cycle - I'd definitely be testing soon if in your position Wink

Bexamundo · 22/04/2011 07:13

Ps that is 14 temps above the coverline....but I'm.not sure cos I had to wee at 4.45am, took temp then and it was low so.have rechecked it twice-currently above cover line. So I need to say put in bed til 7.45 to get the 3 hours temp! Hmm am I getting obsessive?!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 07:10

Yeah I'm just fedup now. Been waiting over 3 years just for the right time to start trying, and even being on the pill didn't stop me getting my hopes up every month and managing to delude myself. I really hope after waiting all that time it's not going to be even longer until we're able to get pregnant! Sad

Dizzy still not certain.til the first day of missed period that the test will give accurate results.
Hmm my temp is still above cover line do evil.witch unlikely to make.appearance today. The am I?/aren't I? Continues!

PatientGriselda · 22/04/2011 06:27

Oh no, I'm so sorry about the bfn. But at the same time laughing at waiting for an extra 90 mins worth of hcg!

DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 06:04

Woke up at 4.30 from feeling ill, managed to wait til now before POAS (not that that's weird or anything - trying to give hcg as much time to build up as possible Confused), another BFN.
If all this time I was feeling sick from pregnancy the levels should have been up enough by now to register, which would mean that this has all been in my head.
Now it's time to wait until Monday for AH. Gonna be so annoyed when she gets here.
