isn't it annoying? vol.2

congratulations kiki, lovely news. Have you thought of an exciting way to break the news to your dp?

well I appear to be on a promise tonight. He's not gone to see the contractors tonight so he has no excuse (not even a 6am start).

Hope everyone else is good, onwards and upwards ladies, onwards and upwards!

well it looks like everyones been busy girls
im working the rest of the week fish and got a family party on saturday so hopefully that'll keep me occupied. was tempted to buy a first response test today but they're expensive and didnt wanna get one and end up with a bfn.
ive bought a pack of two cheap ones but say they work from first day of missed period so i'll just have to wait.
is your period late kiki?not sure which tests are the best myself.i bought a cheap one when i discovered i was carrying my son.think it cost £1 but got a positive result almost immediately!i bought a more expensive one then to double check and got a positive on that too.think it just depends on how far along you are for it to show up.they say you can get false negatives but a positive result is rarely wrong so fingers crossed you'r pregnant
i seem to have lost my sex drive a little this month.id rather read my book!how awful.ninja you'll have to tell dp to lie back and let you do the work.
i have 2 friends who are recently pregnant and people keep saying oh it'll be you next.its so frustrating cos none of them know we're ttc and i feel like screaming at them that im bloody well trying.rollo dont let your pregnant friend get to you.we'll all get our bfp eventually.
glad your having a good time faithbaby

oh i forgot. I bumped into my PG friend earlier. if you remember I said she hadn't told me and i found out from her DH wh assumed i knew. It felt odd. She nudged me and asked if i was yet so i bluntly said 'no, we're having tests' and she just nodded, put her hand on my arm and said come round for coffee soon.
I know she went through this herself, and ended up having all the tests so she ought to be sympathetic.

i'm so glad i'm on holiday next week. will be welcome distraction from the second half of the 2ww.

I've heard they are very sensitive and good actually! As you say wise to retest with fmu but tentative congratulations!
Griselda are you there*?!

well they say a line is a line! fingers crossed for you Kiki

I hear you ninja its so frustrating sometimes! Hope you get some action soon.
fish glad to hear you're on antibiotics, hope they kick in soon. Stick the thermometer in a drawer for a few days, its not going to tell you anything.
My temp was back diwn this morning. FF moved my ovulation day back to 11 so it reckons I'm cd26 therefore 15dpo and af is now due Friday. I'm.not going to temp.again this morning just wait to see if af arrives. Think its too confusing in the tent! Not feeling.too confident tbh.
We're having a brilliant time! We're in the awning but we have a camper too (civilised way to camp!). Today we're at Weston super mud. Dnephew is at the water play park having a whale if a time running round! Surrounded by kids and bumps which is tough but he's being so cute its making me smile :)

aw fishfinger sorry you feel so rough, that sucks a big one. Hopefully the anti b's properly kick in and start doing their job soon. Feel better soon.

cd10 for me and no jiggy jiggy last night as dp didn't get home from work till 11.30. And tonight he's got to head off to oversee the construction of a shop in shop for a client that starts at 9pm so won't be back till late and then has to be back there for 8am tomorrow. I have to say I'm slightly peeved as tomorrow was supposed to be our hospital appointment which has now been put back to 4 August. He better put in a bloody good performance asap as this is not a good time for it to happen! My cycles are generally 27 days with some being 26 so I'm on limited time here! Will poa(ov)s when I get home from work to check whether he has a choice about performing or not. This bloody baby won't make itself. I need to get my positive head back on as I'm feeling distinctly annoyed about it at the moment.

Morning all - unfortunately my temp was still up this morning (99.6) and just taken it again and it is back up to 101 so not been able to update my chart (although one more high temp and it could look triphasic I suppose LOL!! )
It could be a blessing in disguise really as at least I can't obsess! AF is due tomorrow so I guess I'll just have to wait it out. Boobs are a bit achey and I feel exhausted but that's about it as far as symptoms go and the exhaustion is probably down to the infection.
Will keep you all posted tomorrow - my cycles are like clockwork so tomorrow will tell!

faith how are you enjoying the camping? Me and DH love camping! How was your temp this morning??? And yes, I am on antibiotics - I even asked the dr if they were safe to take if I'm pregnant!

princess the wait doesn't get any easier each month does it! Will you be able to distract yourself until Sunday??

faithbaby thats meant to say when i got back!

thanks ninja [hgrin]

faithbaby i should be due on sunday so i'll test then too if nothings happened by then.if i can wait that long!its so annoying waiting and i have absolutely no patients!dont blame you for not wanting to poas at a camp site.where are you and how long for?i was totally relaxed while i was away and felt ready to conquer the world when i got make the most of it x

I'm a tad quiet on the MN front because I'm on holiday camping with no WiFi!
Bless you fishfinger uti/kidney infections are horrendous! Just relax, take plenty of fluids. Paracetamol should help bring that fever down. Bet your temp is inaccurate if you've needed to get up to pee in the night too? I remember I had a had one last year, I clock watched and at one point literally Peed every five minutes! Are you on antibiotics?
princess sounds like we'll be testing around the same time then! If I get that far reckon I'll test Sunday...I'm currently 12dpo and usually have a luteal phase 13-15 days. Kind of liberating being away and not having tests. I refuse to poas in a camp site toilet!

Hey all - 3 days until I can test (Friday) and was gutted this morning as my temp was over 100F!!! I have a kidney infection and feel pretty rough - was hoping that the backache and sickness were good signs but now I don't think I'm pregnant at all. My boobs don't feel as sore anymore, neither do my nips all I have is the backache, stomach-ache and weeing lots but that's down to the infection I reckon.
Will keep taking the painkillers and hope that my temp is a little more realistic in the morning but I think I'm out.

ninja - you freaked me out the other day when you were on about purple wee cos I'd thought exactly the same thing myself!!! It'd be soooo much easier!!!

Fingers crossed that everyone gets the results they want xxxxxx

That sounds really positive princessamz fingers crossed for you.

Glad to hear it went well rollo. That nurse. Sounds like a gem.

hi girls,how's everyone this evening? ive still got a bad back but no cramps.had a pulling sensation in the bottom of my somach though.only way i can describe it.
ninja the purple wee is an excellant idea!why didnt mother nature think of that i knew i was having a boy too.my mum kept saying that i was having a girl but i was adamant i was having a boy.when i had my 5month scan i was right.iv been able to tell what my friends are having too.i just get a really strong feeling.

faithbaby thanks for your input havent heard from you in a while i have about 5 days left til due on so hopefully will be able to test soon.i feel pretty confident that i'll get a bfp as ive had alot of similar symptoms that i had very early when i was carrying my son.about 3weeks before i found out i was having him i had a day of complete sickness.thought id picked up a bug but obviously not.i also had the heavy achey stomach feeling.
i dont have anything with caffeine in as i find it gives me headaches so the dreams cant be from that.

thanks lisa I also queried the day 2 bloods as I have a slightly unpredictable cycle and it may fall on a Sat/Sun and the nurse said phone the surgery on the Mon am if that's the case and she will fit me in even if she is 'full' because it only takes 2 mins to take the sample. I'm to ask to speak to her if the receptionist tries to fob me off
I feel a relief that finally I've made a real step towards (hopefully) getting some answers.

Glad it went well Queenrollo [hsmile] xx

well girls that's my day 21 bloods, and one for rubella immunity done. and i hardly felt it! not had blood taken at this surgery before and my practice nurse is worth her weight in chocolate

queenrollo I knew I was carrying a boy, so did dp, he especially had an incrdibly strong feeling about it. But the dream about what he looks like is weird (in a nice way though). Good luck for the blood test, glad you don't have to go to the hospital.

lisa I have never charted, usually go by cm and sometimes pee on ov sticks but i think i would fail quite drastically at charting, far to difficult to achieve! But positive thinking woman, thats what you need!

izzy good luck and keep us posted!

Well I got my revised hosp appt through this morning for 4 Aug, so at least the wait is not too long. Now just to get up the duff so we don't have to go...

faithbaby it was obviously down to the socks enjoy camping.

Oh that sounds so annoying izzy! Guess its one of the reasons doctors suggest swi three times a week every week, timing intercourse has so many perils! Let's hope it was right originally for you and you hit it afterall.
I can't offer any advice on bloating because I have Ibs! So I'm bloated most of the time.
Happy days I slept with socks on (camping is chilly!) and my temp came back up so maybe yesterday was a blip! Boobs are still very tender. Reflux was awful last night and my couldn't find my gaviscon so I had a hissy fit! So I'm still in the running.

Queenrollo good luck for your blood test today - at least it feels as if something is happening doesn't it. Re the day 2 one I think it is ok day 2-4 isn't it? I think they just need to be sure AF is still visiting don't they (that is based on absolutely no medical knowledge). I mean there must be people where AF arrives Friday and then they can't get tests done over the weekend?

I agree too about temping in the morning - it was crazy hard to do before you so much as breathe when you wake up. And I thought that because with this monitor you just wear a little sensor it would make it easier as it takes the temps automatically, and it is easier in that sense but prediction wise it is not living up to my expectations.

Roll on Friday and my appt at the clinic. I think I am placing way too much hope on any potential IVF / IUI - success rates are still quite low aren't they?

Feel v down today - negative nelly
