YBR being built through tears at present Bunny, I'm having a bad day. Not necessarily in ttc terms, just woke up feeling very emotional. Had a brief exchange of words with DP and we very, very rarely argue so afterwards I got upset and started crying. His immediate reaction to me crying is to say 'don't cry' which makes me worse. If I'm feeling sad and I've removed myself to a separate room so I'm not doing it in front of him why can't I bloody cry?! Sad

He's been and apologised but I'm still crying and don't even know why. Desperately hoping it's because AF will finally arrive tomorrow (I always have an irrationally emotional day the day before AF). It's been more than 60 days and I've had 6 doses of Provera so you never know....Hmm Hmm

On my phone as usual so can someone please add me to the list?

34, 23rd month ttc, clomid bfp in August, AF awol 60+ days since mc in Sept. On Provera to find AF then another 5 rounds of clomid before next FC appointment in March.

Barking - when I get that teary I know I'm getting AF in the next day or two. Sometimes it is good to just let all the tears out.

I'm on CD17 and pretty sure I haven't ovulated Confused. Am starting to think my left ovary is bust!

Hi barking how you doing now??
From what I have read and understand about provera most people do not get AF until after the course of provera is stopped and it was referred to as a 'withdrawl' bleed??

Incidentally I had a massive hysterical cry yesterday for about 1 1/2 hrs. I feel so much better for it today. Though I get a bit teary at just about everything, I had not had a proper cry for ages.

Feeling a little more sane now thanks Foody but still in a state of emotional high alert - wouldn't take much to get me going again! Have been out for dog walk so had some fresh air and now hunkered up in the spare room trying to make/design a wedding dress. Hmm. You know when you have those good ideas that seem a little silly when you actually try putting them into practice?! Hmm I've never made a dress before (fancy dress doesn't count) so what possessed me to assume I could make a dress for my wedding I don't know Shock .

Oh, and on AF/Provera, I know not to expect it yet, but the irrational emotional state I'm in today (rather than being rationally emotional) usually only occurs the day before AF. I was thinking regardless of Provera maybe my body decided it had kept me waiting long enough?! Grin

Wow barking, designing and making your own dress! very jealous. I cant even hem curtains.
I have lots of little projects that are great in my head but not so easy once I start. DIY related though.

Also I had nearly forgotten (sort of) that me an OH are engaged, one of my brothers asked if we were setting a date soon and for a few minutes I had no Idea what he was talking about!
We are super skint so it won't be happening for a long time. Don't want a big showy affair, but we are struggling to get through month by month at the moment, never mind saving up!

Glad you feeling a bit better x
