Well my temp is down this morning at 12dpo so reckon that make me out. Gutted! Dtd at all the right times and this month I'm away with work at the crucial time (working at a baby event- oooh the irony!!). Off to sulk...

barmybunting · 03/02/2014 07:09

Hi missmrs how are you? I was sorry to see you'd been signed off with stress when I read back last night. How are you feeling now?

Thanks for the info and link, I'm going to give them a go. This 'every 2nd day' business is all fine and dandy but after two months of that I think DH's bits would fall off if we tackled it again Smile ! That and now we are both back at work (much easier during the hols!!) who has the time or energy as you say?

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 08:23

Morning! Pebble, you still holding out? The test that I absolutely did not do this morning was a bfn again Sad.

No sign of AF, boobs definitely hurting now. I'm making myself feel better worse? by catching up with series 1 of OBEM in bed. Yes, I should be doing work. No, I don't care.

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 08:24

Oh, Pebble, sorry, just read your temp has dropped. POAS anyway? You're not out till AF arrives!

bellaboo88 · 03/02/2014 08:55

Body's officially messing me about :-(

After my brown spotting at lunch time (about a five pence piece worth) I've had absolutely nothing! When I wipe, its only pale, barely would notice any colour. Would you class it as cd1 yesterday or keep poas like a mad woman?

Today is cd31/14dpo or cd2

ic was bfn. X

broodysnoopstie · 03/02/2014 09:02

myself Bella I'd POAS Grin

pebble82 · 03/02/2014 09:06

I'm not going to bother to poas, temps don't lie :'(

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:18

Hi Zermatt!

As Kitty says, do use FMU. I got a smiley on day 15 first cycle and day 16 on my second.

Annoyingly we DTD last night (mini bin bag and all) hoping for my smiley today (day 15) but I just got an empty cycle. Shame as DH had been saving up especially!

I managed to put the soft cup in whilst lying in bed straight after DTD when DH was in the bathroom. Though I know he knew I was up to something as he said 'keep your weird sh1t to yourself' hahah!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:24

Hi barmy, thanks for asking Smile. I still feel unwell, I'm so burnt out I think it could take me a while to relax and realise I don't have to think about work. My head is so nice, she said do absolutely nothing but watch DVDs and each chocolate! It's really hard knowing someone else is teaching my class in the run up to the SATs but I just need to let go and try to get myself better.

Unfortunately I will be sitting at home during the 2ww - I'm going to go mental!

Hope you find the opk useful. 4 episodes or so of DTD is much easier than every other day for most of your cycle! It has prevented it becoming too much of a chore for us!

Fx it helps you x

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:24

Kitty glad you've got your smiley!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:25

I meant circle not cycle in my first of the 3 posts!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:27

Bella I'd either wait a couple of days and test or do it ASAP if you can't wait. Don't give up hope!

Sorry pebble Sad

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 09:41

Right. Bearing in mind that this was the test I absolutely did not do this morning... And it's out of the time limit. And I'm totally obsessing and freaking out.

But this is a line, right? (If I figure out how to post pics on my profile)

Somebody please confiscate my pee jar!!

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 09:42

Retro put it on canyouseealine.com!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 09:52

Ooooooohhhhh! Let's being seeing it then?

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 09:54

Should be on my profile now. And I've peered at the last four ics I did, three have stupidly faint lines... None appeared instantly, but it's unlikely to be three evap lines? Still nothing on the FRER though.

You may have noticed, patience is not one of my strengths!

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:03

do vote!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:05

Think I can see something but then when I zoom it goes all blurry. If u can see a line, on 4 sep tests, then it must be a bfp!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:07

Plus you're very early to test so it would be weak. I'd wait a couple of days which I know isn't you're strong point lol! Then get a first rsp x

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/02/2014 10:09

Bella, doesnt sound like you should count your bleeding as a new cycle. Was it just some spotting. CD1 should be first day of full flow, not spotting. I'd leave it a few days and then poas again. Not nice being in limbo though.

Retro I can see something but it is very faint. Have you got any more FRER?

MissMrs sorry you're feeling stressed, but sounds like yo have a good team around you at work. Try to chill out. Why don't you book a massage or a spa day or something. Go for nice walks. Have a nice lunch with a friend. Hope you're feeling better soon.

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:10

Fuck me. This might actually be real. Out of ics now, so when I pop into town later I'm going to grab a variety some of the Wilkos cheapies as they seem to be the same type. And someone mentioned the Superdrug ones? Then will repeat mantra

'I must be patient, I must be patient, I must be patient...'

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 10:12

No more FRER English. Spent too much already Grin sticking to the cheapies now to satisfy the urges!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:16

Bella: I'd say if no red blood & just spotting you're still in.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 10:18

I'm so procrastinating..... Have interview today, done no prep, can't be arsed. Must go do some reading!

Also, sat mild cramps, sun light brown spotting, not even spotting really. Still no af, still in & getting nervous!!!!!!

spinningirl10 · 03/02/2014 10:20

Retro.....I can see a line!!!! Yay Grin
