I had a 2 wk hol in july.....and stayed on the pill.....what was I thinking?!!!

onefunkymama · 03/09/2013 15:57

This is the fifth month of TTC for us, and for the first time I have no idea when AF is due (as I had 4 + POS then massive bleeding) so for the first time in ages I am not symptom spotting, which is liberating! Have only managed to DTD once this cycle so not holding out much hope as It probably was on the wrong day too.

sun,sea,sand and :)

Bloumermaid · 03/09/2013 15:47

Yes, MrsMummy has set the bar high with no of times DTD!

It clearly works!

keepswimming1 · 03/09/2013 15:33

yea defo. lol

Lets hope we are :)

If I'm not I'm going to be booking a week away for my next fertile period :)

mama31 · 03/09/2013 15:32

I have had no appetite for 2 days...I am eating but not fussed! (This is so not like me considering there's a box of chocs sitting beside me in work and I'm not even tempted :/) crazy symptom spotting!! AF or BFP show yourself! Agggh!

Bloumermaid · 03/09/2013 15:29

Yes I feel slightly sickly too.

God if we're not pregnant we'll look back on this and think what whingers we are!

keepswimming1 · 03/09/2013 15:23

I have been very regular yes. So hopefully by Friday I will know either way.

I feel really rubbish to, also very hot (but the weather is nice) also don't appear to be very hungry, slightly sicky, if that makes sense.

I'm also at work and cant do anything without thinking...am i??!!! lol

Bloumermaid · 03/09/2013 15:17

I had a teeny tiny bit of spotting today but almost nothing. Also feel really hot and quite rubbish.

Keepswimming sounds like you're the same no of dpo as me - could be implantation? Are you pretty regular with AF?

Can't focus on work. Ugh. Confused

blamber · 03/09/2013 15:16

Leezl, The best indicator is your TSH and t4 levels, so I wouldn't worry about the temp. I'm hypothyroid too, but my TSH is fine. I get very stable bbts, just had 6 the same in a row, and was wondering if that's because of the levothyroxine I take before bed, but maybe not! My temp is usually 36.4 before ov, but everyone is different.

keepswimming1 · 03/09/2013 15:10

Bitch is due friday :) - did a test yesterday bfn. I seem to have a lot of symptoms (I guess its in my head)

mama31 · 03/09/2013 14:56

Keepswimming when is bfp due??? This is my 4th day of spotting hasn't been much at all tho!!! Very annoying when obsessively sympton spotting indeed!!!!

keepswimming1 · 03/09/2013 14:46

Hi mama31, I also have a brown spot today (only the one spot at the min)

Its so annoying.

mama31 · 03/09/2013 14:39

Bloumer have you had anymore spotting??? Your so good with your refusal to test til friday!!! I'm so impressed!!!

I've had one occasion of brown spotting again today (really very little) is it af or not! Aggggghhh so annoying!!!

leezl · 03/09/2013 14:33

Oh and my temperature has been between 35.2 (Friday) and 35.7 (today!).

leezl · 03/09/2013 14:31

Disney and Blamber I do actually have hypothyroidism but my bloods have come back stable the past 4-6 months (I'm on 150mcg levothyroxine) so I don't know if my temperature would still be low if I'm properly medicated? Having said that I'm waiting for the results of last week's blood test so I will ask the doctor when he calls on Thursday!!

Sorry to hear that Mama but hang on in there! Try again in a few days if no AF :)

Bloumermaid · 03/09/2013 14:15

Purple not much new for me - quite tired today and sobbed at absolutely nothing last night but trying not to read anything into it. I'm 11dpo today, def not testing til Fri!

Also horrid hairline spots are back. Hate them.

Bloumermaid · 03/09/2013 14:11

Ah mama what a pain! I def think the FMU is important at this stage, you're due at the same time as me so you've got a few days to go. I think the spotting is a good sign!

choccy love that your DH feels used - I told mine I only wanted him for his seed the other day and he got all offended! Lol

mama31 · 03/09/2013 14:04

Thanks mummytobe! I'm so happy for you tho! Great to have a strong bfp!!!

I'm starting to rule myself out again....but will most likely test again with fmu! Just to see.....not loving the false positive I got tho if it was....how cruel!

bushprincess · 03/09/2013 13:58

Great minds think alike Suz Smile
fx for the next couple of days... if AF is late then there's every chance!! good luck and let us know once you get that BFP!

blamber · 03/09/2013 13:53

Yes mama test in the morning. In the early stages hcg is so low that when urine is just that bit more diluted it won't pick it up. But it should double every three days, so should get stronger.

blamber · 03/09/2013 13:52

Jaykay, I once had a positive opk but no temp rise! Also once all the signs of ov, but not much pain and no temp rise. With the first time, I just came off the pill and I ovulated the next month. With the second time I had a job interview and ovulated a week later. It's so frustrating though waiting for ov and that temp rise! Hope you get it soon.

Leezl, what is you temp? Everyone's got a different temp, but some say that a very low temp can indicate hypothyroidism, but then again I've heard this is unreliable.

I got the same temp for 6 mornings in a row now, flatline chart looks weird. My cervix felt really low and a bit open this morning so I panicked AF was on its way (too early), but it has closed up a bit now but I got some ewcm. Odd.

SuzB83 · 03/09/2013 13:50

Haha, bushprincess I actually used the schrodinger's cat analogy this morning with dh! I'm being so obsessive today! Done 4 hpts over the last few days, all bfn but I'm now 2 days late (cd35). Really need to focus on work but mind keeps wandering.

mrsmummytobe · 03/09/2013 13:40

Aww mama definitely test again in the morning! I found the superdrug test actually gave a much stronger line than the amazon one, but maybe do both again? Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the congratulations :) I'm at work but my mind is definitely not on the job today!!!! Grin

mama31 · 03/09/2013 13:36

Thanks!!! Yes massive rollercoaster!! Wish I never got the line 1st thing as I'm still wondering if I am or not!! But I am ok, I know its not all plain sailing and only early days for me so can't complain.....yet!
