yes it's flipping freezing. I tend to hold it for about 5 mins before hand or rub it vigorously in my palms.

Thanks to Isla and scrummy for your thoughts on grapefruit juice, and good to hear about reflexology and positive scans. :)

Sorry to hear you're out havealittle

What news today digital? Your chart is still looking good.

I'm also on 12DPO, not testing till Sat though.

it does still look promising digital...

fx fx fx!

Another bfn this morning - I've checked the stats and there's only an 8% chance that I could be pg with a bfn at 13dpo. Think body is just churning out the progesterone despite no implantation. Temp will prob start dropping tomorrow. Have already written this cycle off and have accepted the recurrent miscarriage clinic appointment for next week (which I was going to cancel if I got pg). I won't be doing opk's anymore as it just seems to add to the stress of waiting for ovulation.

sorry about bfn again. :(

hope the clinic appointment is helpful.

Good to hear about the reflexology, I am going to book a session next week. I need to feel like im doing something / taking action .

Sorry to hear of your bfn, fx. I am now 7dpo though a weird cycle, not totally sure I did ovulate so not hopeful.

I am so rubbish!

Have gone into end of 2ww meltdown and have been starting at my FF chart as if it's going to tell me something

fx everyone else waiting :)

staring even...

Ooh I stare, especially at work! Take my phone in the loo and stare til I realise they might think I'm ill. Insane behaviour!

:)

I am indeed at work for another 3 hours, trying to get something done and failing. can't peel myself away from the PC...

Is that you should be doing work but are on FF? What should you do instead? Go, do work!

on FF and MN! eating dinner just now so not so bad!

If AF doesnt turn up today, I will eat my hat!

haha scrummy that's what I'm thinking! I'll give it till tomorrow cos that'll be my average lp, but could be later today.

my temp does look like it went up a tiny bit today, but i slept through my temp taking alarm and took it about an hour late, so it'll be artificially high. i did get a good sleep!

fx there are no AF visits though!

fxfxfxfxfxfxfxfxfxfxfxfxfx!!!

I am actually too scared to look at my temp tomorrow cos it's equivalent to POAS (in unlikely event of no AF by then...)

I always seem to be working this evening shift for the 2ww, so I don't even have many people in the building to distract me. :)

That's the hard part of temping isn't it? Do you dream about your temps too?!
At least you have us to distract you jaggy!

I'm sure I dreamed i'd taken it once then woke up to find I hadn't...

Thanks for distractions. :)

I am feeling a bit multiple personality now from hanging out on the brooking no argument thread

I know gets weird with crossovers on threads but I decided towards the end of my last cycle I needed to get in with the charters too! Yup dreamt about temps several times. Nightmares it dropped then realising it hadn't, dreams I got the illusive 18th high temp to find it had dropped. Just awful but generally temping gives me a sense of control.

Phew! No need to eat my hat!! AF arrived this pm....I was expecting it all morning and all I could think of was how p**d off I would be if it arrived after 4pm, which is when the hospital appt line closed luckily she turned up before that, so I've managed to book my HSG for next Tuesday and have my day 3 bloods scheduled for Friday. Then it's a case of chasing hospital for cancellation appt. that's a second month of 5 days of spotting before AF. That can't be right.....

FX jaggy I know what you mean about dreading the temp drops. I've had that for last few days. Luckily not dreamt about it yet

Hi to everyone else. I'll do a proper catch up over the weekend, once my brain has engaged again

Good luck with the appointments, but sorry about AF scrummy.:(

Still scared to look every time I go for a wee here

Have a splitting headache and am in a v crappy mood, so not thinking that is a good sign. :(

Sorry to hear that scrummy but at wast you don't have to eat your hat.

Ouch. woke up with proper feckin cramps so that'll be this month out the window. took temp even though too early and it's down a fair bit. novelty of knowing what my body is up to is wearing off now.

I've been lying awake for nearly an hour feeling pathetic and sorry for myself. imagining what i could do with all the time and energy i am just wasting on ttc and charting every month!

sorry for being me me me and whiny, cd1 sucks.

on a positive note, hopefully the crampy bit will be over before work.

supposed to be visiting a pg friend today, not sure if i can do it without having a :( face on.

ok, going to try and get to sleep and wake up less moany now all that's off my chest!

Boooooo! But also, that's way too early! When do you normally temp? I find it a double edged sword, some ways it takes the terror of wiping away (see a temp.drop, expect af) but of course last cycle for me got af before temp drop (confusing). Hope the cramps ease soon.
