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...

Has anyone investigated your heavy flow? That sounds extreme!
Enjoy the meal. I was 2 hours late getting home because of the meeting so plan is: let Dh cook me dinner, have a bath, go to be early, sleep til my alarm goes off at 6 (yeah right!)

I only made it to 33, but I guess at least it's over 30. I couldn't believe the thread here somewhere where people were getting 50 odd.

Feeling fine. Out for a meal with friends tonight though could really do without it when I'm bleeding so heavily. It's the sort of day where a super plus tampon lasts under an hour...

Um blue should say hour!
My bloods for progesterone were 15,
20 and 25. To confirm ovulation they like to see 30..Gp didn't seem too worried though. The 25 was first month I started charting and the only clear ovulation peak.
Af still a no.show but lower back very achey.
How are you two feeling?

Oh poor Bex. It is all just a depressing confusing despair-filled slog sometimes, it seems to me.

What were your ovulation bloods? Might it be worth going back and asking for them to e done again? Of course, you will prob get a bfp tomorrow after all this!

I feel flippin awful. Got an blue's travel for a work meeting now. Thank goodness I'm not driving! Keep wanting to burst into tears. Very worried cos that's two cycles in a row where there's been no.clear pattern. Wondering if I'm really ovulating, my bloods for that were on the low side. Big stress about ability to conceive now :(
Still feel sick.

Nb when dsis had dnephew she had to wear larger size cotton pants due to swelling.
Hope you're planning to buy mostly white/pastels cos next month we'll all be getting bfps right?!
No sign of evil witch yet. Tbh if she's gonna arrive wish she'd just get her arse in gear and do it!

This feels like the very definition of futility - I am about to buy new knickers, and am considering keeping all my old ( too baggy) ones for potential post natal wear. Like an ancient cotton/Lycra mix reminder of my ongoing barrenness!

Hmm, was just about to start using FF - think I may well not now.

PatientGriselda · 26/04/2011 07:02

:( what a crap morning, Bex.

I hate FF too, and gave up on it after a few months of a similar sort of thing.

Terrible night's sleep here too.

:( temp has dropped to what was just below coverline. Starting to HATE FF, it's now decided it's not clear if I.ovulated or not! Test bfn. Losing hope. Terrible night's sleep.

PatientGriselda · 26/04/2011 05:21

Drumming fingers and waiting to hear about this morning's temp (and test?)...

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 21:50

I'm meant to be on a strict regime of using everything up before I buy any new toiletries (I have stacks of half finished bottles, little sample sachets, hotel miniatures etc all over the place and it is getting out of hand) but I might have to make an exception now! Especially if it has made you pregnant Wink

I had aveno bath oil, with a drop of lavender oil to help me sleep. I might get the dreamy skin stuff next!

I highly recommend Johnson's bedtime bath dreamy skin stuff. Comes in a big purple bottle. Very relaxing and leaves skin SO soft! I.had one tonight. Now tucked up I'm bed enjoying glee!
Glad the bath helped :)

Ooh, intriguing! Fingers crossed for tomorrow then.

I have celebrated :( not being pregnant with a lovely hot bath. Small comfort but better than nothing.

Bless you both, hope it eases soon. No, nothing either way. Will test again in am, git some superdrug v sensitive tests and Dsis donated a clearblue digital. Figure it's a tad early for cb though.
Still hopeful. Generally feel very tired, sick after tea. No more cramps. Def no sign of af. Watch this space!

DizzyKipper · 25/04/2011 19:42

Yep, full blown AH since early afternoon along with pain. Going to really concentrate for the next cycle though lol :p

Any thing new to report on bex?

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 17:52

Owwwww. Yes, definitely no chance of convincing myself this is implantation bleeding now!

How about you, dizzy?

Aww ladies hope you're stocked up on pain killers to punch her in the face!
No news here, that's good news huh?!

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 12:39

Horrid pain starting here too, dizzy! But not so bad that I can't join you in wielding some pompoms for Bex still.
