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...

It varies, sometimes spot like 2 cycles ago on cd26 but usually spot am cd27 and af arrives pm. Predicted af on cd24 unusual even for me!

I guess really there's nothing that any of us can really do but wait till af does or doesn't show up (ignoring potential obsession over whether it is or isn't an implantation bleed!).

Feel a lot better after an unexpected but cathartic sobbing session on the sofa watching Eastenders on iplayer!

DizzyKipper · 21/04/2011 08:20

lol sorry but it does seem amusing, the way we feel better when something unpleasant is happening. And you're right, nothing we can do until AH shows up or not. I'm on CD25, another 4 days to go.

Still been feeling a bit nauseous. Managed to make myself feel better by eating some apples ~desperately still trying to make myself believe~

PatientGriselda · 21/04/2011 09:10

I know. I'm an idiot :o The sobbing is probably actually premenstrual now I come to think of it!

DizzyKipper · 21/04/2011 09:17

Well let's just hope not! I will feel a complete idiot after all this nausea/feeling sick if I turn out to not be pregnant!

DizzyKipper · 21/04/2011 09:19

Still getting slight twinges down there too, which really makes me think it's the prelude to a period grr

PatientGriselda · 21/04/2011 09:45

I am so envious of the sickness! I can never wOrk out if the twinges are just perfectly normal and I am only noticing them because I'm focussing so intently on that part of my body at the moment.

Hmm sick again this morning. Feel ok atm though. Occasional cramps confusing me. Like you dizzy will feel a bit worried about my sanity if I get af/bfn! Also feel giddy/faint at times.
Yeah think I might cave and test tomorrow if temp still above cover line!

PatientGriselda · 21/04/2011 14:44

I reckon we might all reasonably worry about our sanity anyway :)

My sanity was questionable well before ttc! Hmm some aches in the right region. Could be muscle pulled from sneezing, could be bowel! (Tmi?!). Not af, no way. Couldn't possibly be Hmm

I broke, poas just now. BFN.:( very concerned it's all been in my head.

Oh but it's still a bit early for you, Bex, isn't it? Try again in a couple of days first thing in the morning. But I know all too well the disappointment of the single line, when you've been telling yourself you don't expect a positive, but secretly thinking this really might be it. Poor old you. Are you ok?

DizzyKipper · 21/04/2011 20:11

But you know poas is meant to be done first thing am, no need to give up hope just yet, plus as Griselda said, it's still early as well.

Am now not going out with MIL tomorrow night, don't know whether to POAS tomorrow morning anyway or just wait a couple of days for the period.

Bexamundo · 21/04/2011 23:07

I know, told me nothing! If af doesn't arrive by lunch tomorrow will venture out to buy more tests!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 06:04

Woke up at 4.30 from feeling ill, managed to wait til now before POAS (not that that's weird or anything - trying to give hcg as much time to build up as possible Confused), another BFN.
If all this time I was feeling sick from pregnancy the levels should have been up enough by now to register, which would mean that this has all been in my head.
Now it's time to wait until Monday for AH. Gonna be so annoyed when she gets here.

PatientGriselda · 22/04/2011 06:27

Oh no, I'm so sorry about the bfn. But at the same time laughing at waiting for an extra 90 mins worth of hcg!

Dizzy still not certain.til the first day of missed period that the test will give accurate results.
Hmm my temp is still above cover line do evil.witch unlikely to make.appearance today. The am I?/aren't I? Continues!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 07:10

Yeah I'm just fedup now. Been waiting over 3 years just for the right time to start trying, and even being on the pill didn't stop me getting my hopes up every month and managing to delude myself. I really hope after waiting all that time it's not going to be even longer until we're able to get pregnant! Sad

Ps that is 14 temps above the coverline....but I'm.not sure cos I had to wee at 4.45am, took temp then and it was low so.have rechecked it twice-currently above cover line. So I need to say put in bed til 7.45 to get the 3 hours temp! Hmm am I getting obsessive?!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 22/04/2011 07:18

lol nah not quite, 14 temps sounds reasonable for a 27day cycle - I'd definitely be testing soon if in your position Wink

Bexamundo · 22/04/2011 07:29

Yeah am.cd24 so think I will try.to wait until Monday.cos there's no point in multiple 'early testing'.cos technically I'm not due on til Monday. Thing is I'll have a pretty good idea either way cos I'll either have a temp drop or 18 high temps!

Bexamundo · 22/04/2011 07:55

Or us it? This temping us confusing! Which temp should I.count? The pre-wee one - which in fairness could be 36.7 or 36.1 cos it was so dark I couldn't read it, or the nice high temp from 1.5 hours sleep/1.5 hours bed rest?!
