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...

Going to test in the morning if temp is still high. If it's dropped, will have to assume not up the duffer and expect af instead.

Yup sitting on hands tonight challenging af to a fight, watching, waiting. Each high temp gets a 'get in!' At 6am!

Will be waiting with bated breath early tomorrow morning then! Good luck!

Have not set alarm and have prayed not to wake for pee at 4.45am again! But will see. As soon as I stir sure I'll temp. Have aching in abdomen and lower back bit that could be a sign either way. Paracetamol and early night. Speak to you in the morning!

If you wake for pee at 4.45 you should probably test then (or am I just completely mad?) - don't think hcg levels would have time to sufficiently concentrate to give a positive reading by 6am if you didn't.

btw good luck. am myself looking to the day with a little dread - absolutely certain this won't be my month, but still can't help hoping - don't want the arrival of AH, will see what tomorrow brings.

Ok so temp still up-that's 17 now. Test : bfn :( so waiting game!

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 06:44

The temps sound really good, but as you say, you've just got to hold your nerve and wait and test again.

Spotting for me at 4am. Going to get up on a minute and see f it's turned into full on bleeding.

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 07:03

Still spotting, but it does feel like it's going to develop. Ah well.

DizzyKipper · 25/04/2011 07:38

Temp sounds positive, maybe the hcg levels are too low to register still.

Period pains here, no AH yet. Time to start thinking for this cycle, maybe this cycle will be our cycle Griselda? ~hopeful smiley

I was awake at 4.30. Checked temp them cos I had to wee. Peed in pot and saved it til it was light to test, figured I squint enough without doing it in that dark!
Was then awake for a good hour with backache and slight feeling someone left a rock on my belly...not like usual af cramps when it feels like someone is squeezing me with their fist. Took paracetamol and it eased so I slept. Course i took temp again when I woke after 3 more hours sleep, still high (obsessive, moi?!).
Griselda that's pants! And comiserations to you dizzy if the with is knocking at your door. But like you say, in a way you need af to arrive so you can get it over with a go for it next cycle!

OP posts:
DizzyKipper · 25/04/2011 10:07

Yup, excellent way of putting it. And light spotting has arrived, expect heavy bleeding (and the horrible pain that goes with it) later. Can now look forward to unrestricted cocktails n coffee (not in that order :p) on my day off at least.

So how many days do you reckon you'll leave it 'til testing again?

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 12:39

Horrid pain starting here too, dizzy! But not so bad that I can't join you in wielding some pompoms for Bex still.

Aww ladies hope you're stocked up on pain killers to punch her in the face!
No news here, that's good news huh?!

OP posts:
PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 17:52

Owwwww. Yes, definitely no chance of convincing myself this is implantation bleeding now!

How about you, dizzy?

DizzyKipper · 25/04/2011 19:42

Yep, full blown AH since early afternoon along with pain. Going to really concentrate for the next cycle though lol :p

Any thing new to report on bex?

Bexamundo · 25/04/2011 19:57

Bless you both, hope it eases soon. No, nothing either way. Will test again in am, git some superdrug v sensitive tests and Dsis donated a clearblue digital. Figure it's a tad early for cb though.
Still hopeful. Generally feel very tired, sick after tea. No more cramps. Def no sign of af. Watch this space!

Ooh, intriguing! Fingers crossed for tomorrow then.

I have celebrated :( not being pregnant with a lovely hot bath. Small comfort but better than nothing.

I highly recommend Johnson's bedtime bath dreamy skin stuff. Comes in a big purple bottle. Very relaxing and leaves skin SO soft! I.had one tonight. Now tucked up I'm bed enjoying glee!
Glad the bath helped :)

PatientGriselda · 25/04/2011 21:39

I had aveno bath oil, with a drop of lavender oil to help me sleep. I might get the dreamy skin stuff next!

I'm meant to be on a strict regime of using everything up before I buy any new toiletries (I have stacks of half finished bottles, little sample sachets, hotel miniatures etc all over the place and it is getting out of hand) but I might have to make an exception now! Especially if it has made you pregnant Wink
