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...

Still no AF, she normally arrives by now (in fact her favourite arrival time is 3 or 4am!). 9 hours away from being able to say she's officially late - I just hope she isn't doing the unbelievably evil thing of hanging about for a day just to mess with me.

Relatively good news. GP agrees with me, don't appear to be ovulating regularly. Going to refer me for ultrasound and fertility clinic appt. Also will check bloods for fsh/lh on cd3 and testosterone levels (will do that tomorrow). More emotional than I expected but relieved I'm moving forward.
Any news either way dizzy?

That does sound good bex, I'm glad to hear things seem to be moving along.

And I think you were prob still typing when I sent my last post Wink. Still no AF, but I have had a few cramps the same as yesterday. Anxiously hoping that AF is not just choosing to make a late arrival.

Well no news is good news esp I'd you're usually so regular! Yes think we must have overlapped.
Decided to sod the gym tonight in.favour of cuddles with Dh under the circumstances.

Sounds like a good plan, I tend to sod everything if it's in favour of cuddles with OH Wink Hope you have a nice evening.

Opted for a walk with Dh. Got some fresh air, bit of exercise. Went to the park and went on the swings and see-saw (lots of fun!).
He pointed out we're much further along than we were last night and I realised he's right. Aiming for a positive mental attitude! Now happily installed in clean bed watching Glee!

Sounds like a good night, they're important nights to have.

Almost at the end of the day and still no AF, getting cramps though - really hope they don't turn into AF in the middle of the night. Bed for me now, testing tomorrow.

Bexamundo · 23/05/2011 23:04

Will be on.first thing for an update! Sleep tight in the meantime.

BFN. I am so upset I am actually crying this time, stupid as that may be.
There is a really really faint line, which did appear within the 5mins - and I've had OH verify I'm not actually seeing things. However, I'm sure this is an evaporation line, it's colourless and looks more like a shadow. Apparently BFPs will always have some colour to them whilst evaporation lines will be grey or colourless.
So now to play the waiting game. I'm still going to act as though it's a BFP, "just in case" - ie. only drinking decaff, no liver/pate, no alcohol etc. But right now I'm just feeling so upset, I really thought this might be the one, and why isn't AF here? Sad

Don't lose hope yet! Esp if test was vague maybe splash out on digital if you have issues with lines.
Wise to be careful just in case!

Thanks, me and OH have decided to wait until Friday and then test again with FR - beginning to suspect one-step ultras aren't so fantastic after all - maybe being so cheap should've clued me in?

It's weird, ordinarily I get myself so hyped and convinced I might be pregnant even with the weakest of evidence/symptoms to go by. Now that I've had 2 faint lines - the closest evidence/symptom I've had to being positive so far - instead of going gaga and running round like a loon trying to delude myself further I instead just feel really sad. I think because I got my hopes up so much and then just seeing an evaporation line crushed them, it's like I can't let myself get my hopes up again.

Hmm, well I've just had some spotting. It was dark brown and not very much, when my period starts it usually starts very heavily and is deep red - although sometimes it will start spotting at first before becoming full blown. I guess the good news at least is one way or another I'll know soon, either this will turn into a full fledged period or it will stay as it is and I can wonder whether it was implantation spotting instead. Cramps are starting to hurt more now though Hmm

Bexamundo · 24/05/2011 16:52

Bless you, it's the not knowing that drives you mad! Any developments?
I am in pain! Had tried to survive with paracetamol but gonna up it to co-codamol. How ironic that it's really only spotting now but the pain is so bad!
