Ugh treacle that sounds awful! I suggest swilling your mouth out with gin. Sure to help.

Ramping up the craziness here. I will be 4 days before AF tomorrow. So could test. But won't.

Oh no. I don't test early. I feel i might struggle not to this month after our monumental better than normal dtd efforts. Surely it must have worked? Goddammit. I knew this would happen. Grr.

retro I have gippy tummy today too, aswell as third day of sore throat.

PolytheneGirl · 13/03/2014 21:40

DH just came home from 5-a-side with a MASSIVE bar of chocolate for me........and suddenly I remember why I married him and the world is a little less shite! Nomnom!

broodysnoopstie · 13/03/2014 21:40

I am going a bit mad Yep! I haven't been on the pill since July so don't think its that my cycles average 33 days.. Thanks Choccy that gives me hope!! Smile

Sparrowlegs248 · 13/03/2014 21:41

P.s. What do you reckon about exercise? I do quite a bit but have got it into my head that my body pump class tomorrow is a bad idea....

PolytheneGirl · 13/03/2014 21:42

Oh no Retro I hope you're ok x

RetroHippy · 13/03/2014 21:44

Nottalotta, you are the same as me! Hang on till Sunday (12dpo). My thinking being if it is a bfn at least it's not long to wait till AF arrives. Four days of agony would be too much to handle!

Maybe we'll be able to hop over to the Dragon Penis A/N bus together?

RetroHippy · 13/03/2014 21:46

I'm always clumsy poly but my brains have dribbled out if my ears this week. Had moments at work when I genuinely don't know what I'm doing and my spatial awareness is shot.

If I am not pregnant then this virus is spectacularly shit and has knocked me for six in a way that nothing has for a long time.

Treaclepie19 · 13/03/2014 21:50

Oh retro, I think we are feeling similar at the moment. I'm clumsy too and struggling to get rid of illnesses!

Notta, thanks haha. I think gin would do the trick. Though these antibiotics are making me sleep anyway! Night!

missmrsmummy · 13/03/2014 22:53

This is so hard Sad think I'm getting AF symptoms and when I told DH he was really so disappointed... his face showed utter dismay.

Thinking it's not going to happen this cycle. Only dtd once after (what I think was) my pos OPK and had done it for a few days before. Don't think it was enough and just waiting for spotting now. Due to start tomorrow.

Think we need a group hug, cry and choc-fest! Fx we all wake up to a better day tomo x

RetroHippy · 14/03/2014 04:22

So, I'm awake Hmm

With a temp of 37.42... Hmm

Aaaaarrrgghhhh, want to POAS so badly!

MrsGingerbread · 14/03/2014 04:31

Ha ha. I'm awake and know my temp too. Ttc is all-consuming isn't it!

When are you planning to poas?

RetroHippy · 14/03/2014 06:21

I'm waiting till Sunday. I'll be 12dpo then. DH goes away Monday and I don't think I can cope with going into work having just got either result! So it's either Sunday or I wait till Friday. Which ain't going to happen!

barmybunting · 14/03/2014 06:24

Sorry to hear lots of people having a rubbish few days. it's Friday, so hopefully the weekend kicks off to a good start for you all!

I think we need some more penis dragon pictures for the weekend Smile . I am off to find some.

gennibugs · 14/03/2014 06:48

Morning all

Sounds like we ll be seeing lots so POAS over the next few days.

I'm off on holiday today but will be keeping an eye from a distance on you all. I am not taking any Hpts or opks so will have to go turkey living dangerously, get me!If AF doesn't get me when we are away then will test when back at a sensible 15dpo. Wink

Cd13 and got my fixed smily. Not ideal as we ll be flying but will be persuading DH to DtD before we leave, as soon as we arrive and then over the next few days for good measure. We will be on holiday after all lol

katecupoftea · 14/03/2014 07:11

Morning! Got a temp question. Cd14 so expecting ov (but it was late with a later af last month and 31day cycle).
Yesterday I went from 36.23 to 36.03 then this morning up to 36.33. Is this fluctuation too small to be significant?
First month of doing it and am doing IC OPKs today. They have shown up with nothing so far apart from a fairly faint line yesterday.
I realise this is a boring post that requires advice so I'll make it more interesting I'll give a link for Vergin the Drippy Dragon (sorry if already been posted, NSFW)

missmrsmummy · 14/03/2014 07:22

Spotting Sad bang on time.

My LP is so short. Spotting 7 dpo (in fact, 7 days past LH surge) then AF 10 dpo.

What can be done about a short LP?

SaRaRaRaRa · 14/03/2014 07:24

Have a great holiday genni!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 14/03/2014 07:34

Kate, normally you can tell ov by bbt rising on 3 consecutive days and staying up.
Genni - have a great holiday!!

My temp is still down Sad My bbt chart is not normal. I'm not sure the rise that ff had used to indicate ov isn't just a fluke rise. Either I've ovulated and am fucked or I haven't ovulated and I'm still fucked. Either way I've had a proper cry this morning. I feel that I can't trust my body to do things normally. If I had normal cycles I'd accept that this isn't my month and crack on with next cycle but when I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle anyway it's so hard. Sorry for the whiney post.
Hope the weekend brings some much needed BFPs!

Treaclepie19 · 14/03/2014 07:39

Sorry you are feeling so rubbish English :(

And sorry missmrs :( I dont really know about short lp.

Im not going to work today, neck is stupidly swollen and painful.

Choccywoccydodah · 14/03/2014 07:41

Genni I have a fab holiday! I so need some heat so send some our way!

Kate lol I posted that yesterday morning, they are absolutely HUGE aren't they!!! Very frightening!

Missmrs re spotting, I took 50mg b6 up to ov then 100mg after ov and it helped some. I've had nothing taking these pesseries though Grin Might be worth asking the gp?
If they don't prescribe them, you can buy them for about £1 each. I use 2 a day, so they don't come cheap!

I think my dh has given me his bug Sad hes been coughing away all night and I have a really sore throat and a blocked but runny nose Sad I should banish him to spare room when ill! lol I hope everyone has a good weekend xxx

Choccywoccydodah · 14/03/2014 07:42

English, I don't understand temps, so what does that mean? Obviously shit, sorry you're feeling down xx

OP posts:
MrsExtraOrdinary · 14/03/2014 08:08

My throat is still hurty and now I've got the runny nose thing. Just to join in with you all. Confused

Here's hoping for an enjoyable stress free weekend for us all. I'm hoping some of these colds and illnesses turn into bfps next week!

Treaclepie19 · 14/03/2014 08:10

Oh Mrs E, me too. Not been knocked off my feet like this for a while!

toots123 · 14/03/2014 08:19

Sorry everyone is ill just for the weekend starting! And sorry about spotting missmrs that really sucks. Not sure about short lp as im the opposite and have a very long lp (as in three weeks as far as I can tell)
