oh help, I'm going quietly mad

I'm a regular in conception - kind of hoping old friends will come and hair stroke me. DH and I have been ttc for 22 months. DH has high prolactin levels which makes his sperm count low. Until we see a specialist next month we've been not trying but not, not trying iykwim.
My cycle is variable but typically 25-27 days. Today is cd29. I haven't had a 28 day cycle for over a year. Internet cheapies say bfn. Must assume it's only a matter of time before the witch comes. But I feel like crap. Anyone willing to sit and wait with me?

Ah that kind of makes sense Northey.

I know what you mean about feeling like they're just doing random tests, but as you say, it might show something up?

Hoping you won't need it anyway Smile

Hi have

Thanks. How are you little?
Aww I'm so chuffed with the lovely responses!
Still no news which I'm taking as good regardless of the sticks. Also have lost 2lb this week - I'd normally gain two so either I've lost 4 lb and am retaining 2lb water or that's unusual too!

Ps I'm much calmer about things since I went to church, said a prayer for peace either way :)
Would be ace but I never expected it this cycle..

No news is good news Have!

So this morning was a FR? And an Internet cheapie too?

When will you test again if no sign if the evil witch? xx

Hmm excellent deduction. Yes both lineless. I dunno. May leave it a couple of days. Well leave the other FR for a bit. Got a couple of internet cheapies left.

Sounds sensible. If AF is coming, she's coming whether or not you test so leaving it a day or two won't change the answer. The longer without AF the better the chances of that bfp.

Which I am desperately hoping for for you xx

Thanks. The bfns are quite disheartening. The lack of evil red tide is encouraging. I'll give it a couple of days and take my mooncup everywhere I go!

OP posts:
Biscuitsandtea · 30/10/2011 15:45

It would be very disheartening I imagine to have such conflicting signals. I think we should see this as a potential bonus bfp! If it isn't your month this month then you still have everything to play for after DHs prolactin thing is sorted.

And in the meantime let's celebrate the absence of the evil witch Smile

Well I've just found a bit of spotting only when I went rooting so perhaps she's on her way. It's ok if it is. I'd rather know.
And yes, I think things will.move quickly once DH is sorted.

See how you feel tomorrow morning, but you might feel better for putting it all out of your head for a couple of days, like biccies says. We're all rooting for you, whether it happens this month or after the prolactin is sorted.

Cheers honey. Yeah, I have to go to work and concentrate, af or not! Should be busy and I have a student working with me, so that will help!
Need to stop poking at my cervix now.

OP posts:
Biscuitsandtea · 30/10/2011 17:55

Or at least stop poking it when you're with your student tomorrow Wink

Northey · 30/10/2011 17:59

Leave. It. Alone.

And wash your hands.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 30/10/2011 18:51

Ok, ok a) I've only been checking it when I've been in the loo and b) I wash my hands with soap afterwards!!! But yes.I will stop. Promise even thought it's a tad addictive

I haven't had a baybee and found the HSG painless. I did take 2 nurofen beforehand though as I had been warned about the pain. I got zero. I felt the speculum, I didn't feel anything more than you would at a smear test when the put the catheter in and I only knew the dye had gone in when I saw it come out of the ends of the tubes on the screen. I was pleasantly surprised! I had no pains afterwards either.

I think I am the exception rather than the rule. The radiologist did say it would have hurt me more than most because my cervix was particularly narrow and he had to push it in. Also I am a wuss.

Yay! Leave your cervix alone now. Do not upset anything at all. In fact, don't even breathe too heavily.

Fingers crossed for another bloodless day tomorrow. And then for 8 1/2 more months after that.

PieMistress · 30/10/2011 21:58

Another whoop whoop from me!
