isn't it annoying?

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...

Ow my boobs are sore. Still working with reverse psychology. Had all the symptoms before so still telling my body I don't believe it. This time I'm not testing until I'm late, I'm cynical about FF too! Figure if I'm right, it's no false hope. If I do by some miracle get a bfp, I will be surprised but happy!

I am so envious of your cycles! I am probably still working up to ovulation!

DP home now. Sadly, I cooked such a huge welcome home dinner that the thought of sex is making me feel ill!

Remember short cycles means more af!
No sex tonight here Dh has git pissed and fallen asleep in from of tv. Am pissed off! Just a typical Friday night in our house. I think sex has become such an issue there's an element of choice to his decision....suggested at start watching a film at 9. I said "you'll fall asleep before the end" bit he went ahead!
I find it so hard not to think it's about him not wanting me...his words say no bit sometimes his actions say otherwise...roll on his counselling to get to the root of the problem so he'll stop hiding behind the booze. Sorry am rambling and emotional have run out of magnesium my hormones are all over the shop! Think I need to go to bed. Enjoy your weekend with dp back home :)

Oops so he woke up and we had the same row we have most months about ttc/having enough sex and concluded we have no idea how to change things other than wait for his counselling.
Big apologies this morning. Never imagined ttc/?infertility would create this much strain.:(
Ah well, decorating the nursery spare room today so we'll pull together for that. He was a man on mission first thing!

Oh that sounds awful, Bex. It must make TTC so much more stressful. When will his counselling start?

Got a letter through saying he's on a waiting list but it's v long cos he's been referred for psycho-sexual counselling :s. Been a couple of months so far...

How rubbish!

My hubby has a lowish libido but is almost always up for it as long as I initiate.

Bexamundo · 14/05/2011 11:19

Sometimes me initiating makes him more anxious, he avoids me it acts like he doesn't realise it's what I'm doing..I.feel rejected and it makes me not want to.
Have decided I am going to go out tonight and buy a bottle of rose sparkling wine, put on nice undies and make it up to him ;)

Hello ladies, how's your weekend been? I've mostly been decorating! Done the stripping, new skirting, ceiling painted so got a fair way! Things between Dh and me are improving. I've got magnesium supplements again (I'd run out) so hopefully I'll find my mood stabilises. Been quite tearful, mood swings. Boobs incredibly sore but as I say been here before so I remain cynical about chances of a bfp. Chart so looks ok so all jot lost yet, just keeping cynical to not build up false hope.
Just kicking back enjoying a cheeky cider watching the Villa play. Now I'm glad Dh persuaded me to get sky sports!

Joining in with the 'isn't it annoying' wailing Wink

14dpo, AF due 18th (Wed), have had tender and now v.v sore boobs for over a week now, had very painful cramping and back pain around 5 days ago which has now disappeared and am exhausted.....oh, oh...and I burst into tears watching Colin & Justin's Home Heist on Tuesday Shock

I caved in a did a cheapie test yesterday which was neg Sad - I do have a CB test somewhere but I'm so pissed off with testing each month that I'm ignoring it calling to me from the bathroom and refusing to entertain testing again till Wed at the earliest.

Now going to go and read everyone's posts

Welcome shiny! You're in glad company. How long have you been ttc?
Yes yes sit on your hands until Wednesday.

Officially since last April Bex, but was on Depo so although didn't get that injection in April last year I didn't have a period till Jan this year. We didn't want children for so long and I'll be 40 later this year and I've wound myself up so much about wasting time and now think that it will never happen Sad

PatientGriselda · 15/05/2011 18:14

Hello shiny! Don't bother reading all the old posts, it's mainly me and Bex and dizzykipper nattering about sex and boob twinges and how not to get our hopes up too insanely, for about 300 posts!

Sorry I've been quiet this weekend. I've spent half an hour a day having reunion sex (oh ok, 10 mins a day :) ) and the rest of the time fantasising about thrilling bfp moments and things I might do with my baby once I've produced it!

How about you?

CherryAddict · 15/05/2011 18:31

Evening girls, i'd like to have a whinge about how annoying it is too! The worst is when you get a bit excited cos of potential symptoms and then you get your period and it totally makes you feel even worse than it would otherwise and no one else around you understands!!! Boo! I hate it!

Phew, feel better now i've got that off my chest!

Hello to cherry!
Yes I cried in.church this morning, my boobs were so sore I had to take pain killers and I just thought I can't stand this, all these symptoms that suggest I'm pregnant but bfn every time! I swear I.never had these when I wasn't ttc!

OP posts:
OooohShiny · 15/05/2011 19:48

Hi Cherry It is bloody infuriating isn't it!!!!

Thanks for the welcome everyone :)

I've just started getting lower back pain again on the right hand side - I know AF is going to bloody arrive in the next couple of days and I'll be back at square one again.

I try so hard not to get caught up in symptom spotting as I know it only ends in heartache each month but I've been convinced this month and I know I will take it really hard if there's no BFP

Bexamundo · 15/05/2011 20:05

If you.can see above posts, you will see how worked up I got last cycle! This cycle I am adopting.a cynical approach. Hoping.for an ironic bfp! We have been ttc since Christmas 2009. That sounds like forever ago!

OP posts:
OooohShiny · 15/05/2011 21:14

I read those Bex...it's so hard not to get worked up isn't it Blush I swear that next month I will go the pessimistic route Hmm

Anyway, I've cheered myself up tonight by eating a rather large bowl of Mackies honeycomb ice cream Blush

PatientGriselda · 15/05/2011 21:32

I had honeycomb ice cream too! Yum.

Sympathies to all currently stressing. I don't think I've even ovulated yet, but am already full of secret excited obsession about the fact that I have felt sick all day. Nothing to do with cake for breakfast and an enormous lunch...

Bexamundo · 16/05/2011 19:03

Wow honeycomb ice cream sounds awesome! Not for me though, I'm taking losing weight very seriously. I'm gearing up.to go to my Gp about ?pcos but the best thing to help pcos appears to be losing weight so I guess the time is now!
