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...

Ok this is a new one, I am now googling faint line images! Somebody save me from this madness Blush

DizzyKipper · 21/05/2011 10:28

Ok I've just started getting cramps now, not particularly painful but still, now I'm worried AF will be on her way after all! Sad

DizzyKipper · 21/05/2011 11:13

Sorry girls, I am completely obsessing. However after lots of obsessing and googling the good news is I am now more confident in saying I'm not seeing things and think there is actually a faint line there. The bad news is, I first noticed this faint line after the 5mins test reading time and so it could very well be an evaporation line!!! No point with any further obsessing at this point, must make myself wait, somehow...

Don't worry I'm obessesing too! Still resisted temptation to poas yet but busy adding info to FF. Damn thing has given me VIP access for 5 days so it calculates pregnancy symptoms to give you s score. Score of 80 means 80-90% chance of pg, I'm on 78. Where is my cynicism?! I need it back! Keep cramping. Vv confused re charting cos my temp went up.
Stop googling. Go out and do something to take your mind off it. If af doesn't come by Tuesday, get a digital test!!

When you get your hopes up is the worst isn't it? It's almost better not to hope at all.

I've got work in less than 3 hours, in the meantime I have to cook dinner and do some tidying around the house. Am getting v pissed off and annoyed by everything at the minute - possibly pmt? Maybe hormones? Or just ordinary everyday life stress? Just want to scream and shout and have a go about something, but am resisting the urge - will be explaining to OH though that he really needs to help me with housework today, am getting far too stressed for him not to.

Deep breaths. Yes always need to calmly ask OH to help with housework, not 'you never...'. Not easy though!
I'm having my hair done, colours and everything. Very exciting but look.silly atm.
Keep getting waves of nausea coming and going, no sickness. Them again, I've been here before! Confused

One more day to get through and managed to avoid the temptation of POAS today. Please don't let the evil witch come tomorrow!

She's caught up with me this morning Angry. I'll be heading to GP this week methinks. So fed up with this now.

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/05/2011 09:20

Boo, evil witch! A GP visit sounds like a good idea, with all this nausea you keep experiencing it would be worth checking out whether there are other underlying concerns. Have or were you starting on fertility treatment?

Atm we've got nothing sorted! Dh has his appt in the middle of my cycle (yes on predicted ovulation day!). Think I'll have a month off from charting. This cycle was only 25 days so I'm really irregular and figure that can't be good. Was meant to be going on a walk with church but I can't actually walk properly so think I'll have to give it a miss! I'm a not fed up of this!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/05/2011 09:49

Mm, FF hasn't sounded like it's been too good for you, maybe a break from charting would be a good thing.

Am feeling twinges down there, feels like AF will be coming after all Sad

Boo no! Could still be pg, lots of women have cramps [clutches at straws to try to console self that it won't be two bfns this time round].
I think charting has at least given me some idea of what's going on but Dh this am said I'm getting a bit obsessive which is probably true. Can't try this cycle anyway so maybe will leave it, get some head space!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/05/2011 10:37

Yep, doing my best to clutch at straws also. But it really feels as though I'm about to start bleeding - have checked and there's no blood there at the minute, and she's usually 4th Monday like clockwork so will be surprised if she arrives today, but it really really feels like it.

I try to limit how much I talk about this stuff with my OH, just so he doesn't get some crazy idea that I'm getting a bit obsessive Wink

My Dh sees how much I'm on here at home bit doesn't realise how much I add to FF!
I was like that yesterday. Saw a bit of spotting bit ignored it! That woke up this morning to her full force Angry.

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/05/2011 10:54

If I'd had spotting yesterday I'd have no doubt convinced myself how it must unquestionably be evidence of implantation bleeding lol

Something I forgot to say, and sorry for tmi, but I did noticed a lot of CM yesterday which differed in consistency from what it had been. Hard at work googling, attempting to use this little fact as a definitive answer one way or the other, but all the non-committal advice out there is most unhelpful!

Bexamundo · 22/05/2011 11:15

Allegedly cm at this point in your cycle tells you nothing about being pg sadly. Doesn't stop me obessesing over it though!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/05/2011 11:16

lol me neither - that's what I got from googling too, all websites saying one thing or another or about how it can't tell you anything. Can tell I'm letting myself get excited again (don't ask me the sense of it when I'm getting cramps though!)

Bexamundo · 22/05/2011 12:42

Well you have to have hope otherwise what's the point?!
I am indulging in a chilled day. Lots of tea, bad tv (started with St Trinians 2, now Sister Act 2!). Had a bath which has helped. Dh taking care of me bless him. Thinly he always feels bad cos I suffer so much he feels responsible for not getting me upduffed (even though it may be nothing to do with him!).

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/05/2011 13:17

True. Feeling a bit down right about now. Need to have a chat with OH (it's been a hard week - lots of emotions and thinking about the past, spent my only day off crying all day - kind of feel like I need OH to be helping more right about now which he so far hasn't been doing). Must remember to breathe and count to 10.

DizzyKipper · 23/05/2011 07:24

Hmm so far no AF and no cramps atm either, going to be quite a nerve wracking day today.

Bexamundo · 23/05/2011 08:25

Keep us posted! I'm feeling rough. Pain is bad, mobility is not good. Good thing is the ward I work with has moved so it's closer to my office. Think I'd struggle to walk very far today! Gonna ring for GP appt in a min.

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 23/05/2011 08:38

I'm sorry if you explained this earlier and I missed it, but why do you have mobility trouble? You have my sympathy, it does sound unpleasant.
AF still not here, feeling more optimistic as cramping isn't here either. hope hope hope

Bexamundo · 23/05/2011 08:41

Mobility trouble purely down to pain.from af. People often ask me if I have a bad back (it really is that bad!).
Fx/ praying there's a bean in there!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 23/05/2011 08:53

Damn, that is bad! Have you rung the GP?

Bexamundo · 23/05/2011 09:08

Yup got one for this after. Fertility specialist isn't available til 9th june can't wait that long. Going back to see GP who I saw first time (who had no clue!) So I'll tell him what he needs to do!
