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...

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

:( 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.

:( 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.

DizzyKipper · 26/04/2011 07:09

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

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?

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 26/04/2011 18:37

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...

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!)

Hmm teeniest bit of spotting, think she's on her way...

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 26/04/2011 23:21

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.

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 ;)

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 06:40

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

Bexamundo · 27/04/2011 06:52

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?

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 27/04/2011 07:05

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

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.

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 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!

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!
