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...

Gah am back - internet got cut off Blush

How's your friend holding up? Some men can be quite cowardly. I'd imagine both your friend and his wife would be better off without him - sneaking behind their backs and picking and choosing as he feels like isn't going to do either of them any good.

And sorry to say it (and also had this temptation myself) but it's probably not worth testing right now, best to save the test for that BFP next cycle Wink.
Speaking of which, just realised that OH is going away on a work holiday around my most fertile time! Can do it before and after, but not during, so pretty sure they'll be no BFP for me this cycle either.

Yes he moved back in with his doormat wife that makes him miserable (I don't know her but working with him when he's living with her is not easy!). He was with my friend for 9 weeks this time, one of the longest times. He is essentially having cake and eating it.
There is no point in wasting money testing. Do you have any cheapo tests you can squander? I did that last month!

Speaking of things you can only admit here - please tell me that there is really really no point in testing tomorrow morning just because my period was (ooh! significant!) a whole day shorter than normal.

PatientGriselda · 28/04/2011 18:37

Oh my God, the poor woman! Has he gone back to the wife again? How long had he stayed with your friend this time? It's pretty crap of him to have pretended to go to the dentist! What a jerk! How is she doing?

Bleh what a day! Busy busy busy tying up loose ends and making sure everyone knows what jobs they have to do (I co-ordinate the staff to do jobs to help get patients discharge) before I go on holiday and of course there's the stress of another 4 day weekend. I swear, it's nice to have all the time off but a 3 day week is rather intense!
Anyhoo. Work is done yay! However, AF has been super heavy and I've felt pretty rough with it. Also feel quite down. Bleurgh.
To top it all off my friend's fella has walked out on her - it's not the first time, she was the other women and he left for his wife but it seems he can't make his mind up. Think it'll be the last though. She can't trust him! She's totally shell shocked because no-one saw it coming. We all work together (awkward no?) and he said he was going to the dentist, seemed quite happy. He went home to her house and bags his bags.
Know it's not about ttc but I just felt like I could tell you guys.

I used to have longer periods too, but bizarrely this one seems to have just finished after only four days! Not that I'm complaining. Where are you going for your hols (if you don't mind the question)? Have a lovely time.

Usually crampy/achey especially back for a few days before. Agony on cd1, mild discomfort day 2. By day 3 the worst is over, usually down to spotting by day 4! That's a weird thing coming off POP, used to have longer af.
Bless poor lady in Boots, I bought pregnacare conception tablets (for him and her) and co-codamol yesterday. She asked if they were for me then went 'ooh you're pg are you?'. Me, a little narked said 'nope, if I was pg I wouldn't need the co-codamol for my period pain!'.
One day til I go on holiday!

Do you get pain all the way through, or just at the beginning? Hope you're feeling better this morning.

Been suffering so that I can have some nearer to bed time. Dh sent me to bed cos I was squealing in pain! Watching Harry Potter and the half blood prince in.a clean bed.
Boo to dp being away and you having to.make your own tea!

PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 21:18

Lucky thing. DP is away with work for a few days so I am having to make my own tea. Pah. Is the co-codamol helping?

Bexamundo · 27/04/2011 17:57

upgraded from paracetamol to co-codamol. Why is she so mean?!
DH has come in and put a load of washing on and started tea. I feel like crap but also very blessed!

Oh bum about AF kicking in properly. Roll on next cycle.

Yeah afternoon 'naps' are popular in our house esp in summer.
We'll be shaking pompoms for that promise bfp Griselda!
Af is in full force, can't even walk properly. Roll on bfp, 9 month sabbatical!

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 09:50

5-6 days. I might just manage it, though if it's another 46 dayer, then it's cutting it a bit fine!

Summer shagging is always easier. I thinkthe longer days give you more time to feel relaxed in. In winter I just want to get under the covers at 7pm, and have no interest in any sort of activity that might let a draught of cold air under them!

DizzyKipper · 27/04/2011 09:03

Sad about the temperature drop and spotting, but at least DH has agreed to be a very busy man for the next cycle Wink My OH is normally out the house for at least 13 hours a day due to work and travel, am wondering if he's even going to have the energy :s

Nothing much to report here, AH is conforming to her usual pattern. We're hoping to move next month so in the meantime I have to be very busy (or so I'm meant to be - keep finding myself reading instead :s).

How long does AH normally last for you Griselda? Since it's already begun I'd think there'd be at least a good chance of you still being able to get pregnant in the month (and get that ironic BFP).

PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 07:06

Trying to work out If o still have a chance to get pregnant before fertility clinic appt at end of May. I suppose it depends on how unpredictably long this lousy cycle decides to be.

PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 07:05

Really nice, thanks. Don't want to get up this morning!

Nah decided it would be waste of money. Tbh if I'm two days late and got bfn yesterday along with temp drop today (to lowest this cycle) I think it's only a matter of hours.
How was your meal?
dizzy how you doing?

PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 06:40

Did you bother with a test as well? But good luck for next cycle!

Bexamundo · 27/04/2011 05:34

Massive temp drop. Kind of feels like af ringing to say 'I'm 10 minutes away. Put the kettle on!'. Hey Ho, Dh gas agreed swi every other day next cycle ;)

Have had the heavy flow side I was a teenager so I'm sort of used to it.

Argh about spotting. Hopefully it won't turn into anything.
