Yep AF started yesterday. Feeling like shit today and ready to punch someone!

bossyboop · 14/04/2011 10:53

don't give up jaggy my weird chart last month finally sorted itself out when I got a rise later than I expected.

karbea, I have chart envy!

I got crosshairs today. If you look at my chart and look at the end of last months you see all the spotting I had, some was red some was brown so my CD1 may not be accurate. So although FF has ov at CD8 it may actually be CD12. Hope that makes sense. However I had some blood stained cm yesterday which makes me Sad too early for implantation but thought maybe it could be ovulation but no real shift in temp today so think it's just part of my problems that hopefully the gyn will get to the bottom of. I am actually thinking I may get more ewcm later on to confuse ff like last month so maybe I haven't ovulated yet. Or maybe I am not ovulating at all Confused I had the metallic taste in my mouth this morning that I get after ovulation so the blood stained cm seemed to point in that direction but no thermal shift.

Karbea · 14/04/2011 11:18

Umm yep hard to say if you have based on last months chart Confused

I now feel pretty sick, so reckon body is playing silly buggers with me Hmm

jaggythistle · 14/04/2011 15:05

karbea bodies are so cruel with the strange feelings and symptoms and weirdness all the time! :(

feeling much more positive now. got home from work and did ov stick. extremely positive looking dark line and got some EWCM too. trying to persuade DS to have a wee afternoon nap now... he's just discovered chocolate though so might be a bit optimistic...

jaggythistle · 14/04/2011 16:07

mission accomplished

Karbea · 14/04/2011 16:31

Haha!! Just need to wait for you husband to get home!!!

I even had a hot sweat earlier... Impending flu I reckon!

jaggythistle · 14/04/2011 16:39

weimy · 14/04/2011 17:13

Hi lou! Hope you have a lovely successful weekend!

Ive eaten ALMOST a full packet of fox's caramel shortcake biscuits Blush it's a stressful time what with my dodgy spotting and not seeing gyn till june, dd finally getting a referral but not for another 6 weeks (plenty of time to be poorly between now and then) and FIL been diagnosed with a serious illness and he lives on his own so not ideal. I feel quite rubbish and depressed at the mo and dd knows it and is being horrid - lots of shouting and screaming and lashing out.

where's the last 2 biscuits...

weimy · 14/04/2011 18:36

bossy :( I'm sorry things are so rubbish at the moment. Can you go to the Drs to see if there is anyone you can talk to about how you feel? I have suffered from depression and know that that helped me a lot. xx

bossyboop · 14/04/2011 18:48

I think it's just temporary, just so frustrating waiting for appointments, you just worry in the meantime and feel quite helpless and heavy iyswim. I think a good cry is in order though not right now, coping at the mo and stepped away from the biscuits! Just feel a bit overwhelmed with it all going on at once, need to maintain a bit of perspective, all I can do is wait. Just so tired yawn yawn...

Louiseteacher30 · 14/04/2011 18:49

Hi bossy

I hope things start to look up for you soon, I had a MC and lost my dad tragically (super healthy man and only in 50's) 3 weeks later. I remember thinking 'why me?' as everything else after that seemed to also go wrong!
Luckily things are improving, Im also a fan of the caramel shorties :-) but this morning forced myself to go for a swim (after being asked in M&S if I worked there- I live in black at the min!!) and felt so much better for it, even a walk round the park seems to lift me abit at the minute.
Lou

bossyboop · 14/04/2011 19:09

Oh lou that's awful, my mum was very poorly a while ago and we thought we were going to lose her, I started grieving for her even though she was still here and is still here now luckily, I felt horrendous at the thought of it so to actually lose a parent it must be devastating. Hopefully the weekend away will help too, a distraction and change of scene even if just for a little while.

Louiseteacher30 · 14/04/2011 19:34

Thanks bossy :-)
Things do improve and having things to look forward to helps.

Lou

weimy · 14/04/2011 21:12

Totally agree with having things to look forward to, with me it is puppies and horse riding and if i'm bad things from qvc Blush

Karbea · 14/04/2011 23:05

Weimy surely buying puppies is worse the qvc???

jaggythistle · 15/04/2011 05:38

morning all

temp up today, gave myself some crosshairs so i could play with temp overlay. how sad am i Blush

hope you all have a nice Friday. :)

bossyboop · 15/04/2011 10:11

I shall now also out myself as a QVC buyer watcher Blush weimy what do you get?

weimy · 15/04/2011 10:59

Bossy,(takes deep breath) I like BE, Lola, Birki's, easy yo, kipling, and Butler and Wilson! I watch for a bit every day Blush

Karbea I'm not allowed any pups for a few years now :( I love puppies, but the devil pup is hard work TBH

bossyboop · 15/04/2011 11:25

I've never bought but love to watch butler and wilson, I have 1 kipling, I do have some honora, told dh it was a valentines gift from him! I'm a crafty girl so love the tuesday afternoons and cooks essentials which involves me telling dh "do you know how much those pans cost?!" when he is trying to balance a pan on a pan lid - though he doesn't really want to know how much those pans cost Blush

That's my guilt pleasure - QVC Grin and my leighton denny crystal nail file - the rolls royce of nail files!

weimy · 15/04/2011 11:38

I've got that file Grin it's fab!!!!! xx

Louiseteacher30 · 15/04/2011 11:49

Morning everyone,

Dark line on ovulation test not so dark this morning so used digital as a back up....no smiley face, oooops. Booked weekend away on back of ovulating, double ooops! Actually think it will be more like tomorrow as havent had the obvious usual signs, can feel them coming on tho so will be testing again tonight.

Hope everyone is well

Louise

Karbea · 15/04/2011 16:49

Haha! Loving the QVC chat!!!

My temp went down A LOT this AM so I'm reckoning I'm nearing the end of this months dream... Would like to get to at least dpo10 though as I do worry about my lutual phase length...

bossyboop · 16/04/2011 11:03

would love to say I got out my lovely northern nights bed but sadly not it's all asda cheapies but it's a different story when I open the bathroom cabinet, using up the last of my luxury facial supplies as I wean myself onto cheaper products, trying to sort my face out it's a mess at the mo, don't know if it's just the warmer weather, stress, hormones or a combination of the lot Confused Would it be wrong of me to say I quite fancy dale (the presenter), yes it is wrong isn't it Blush

I think a change of scene is needed for a few hours, maybe a picnic tomorrow...it will rain now!

Karbea it isn't all over yet, you don't have any spotting do you? Though even if you did it could still be good having 8dpo dip, FX!
