Another thread for a very chatty bus!!

Anyone know anything about temping? Just did mine before going to bed geek and it's up at 38.4.

Is it normal for it to be that high if you've just walked up a couple of flights of stairs? Or is it more likely to be a fever from this flu I've got? I'm seeing everything as a symptom, but actually I think I'm probably just plain ill!

Temps this morning were round 37.4 (which I obviously too to mean I'm pg!), so that's a big jump!

Jones I'm so sorry about your mc. If you're a nut job then most of us are too, who have gone through the same thing. So glad dh is doing his best to distract you

Jones, naked movie, beer and pizza night sounds like the perfect antidote to a perfectly legitimate wallow. Enjoy!

Jones we all do crazy things sometimes but I actually think sometimes you need to trigger a good cry just to get it all out before you can move on. I hope it's worked for you today. P.s. I love the naked movie, beer and pizza plan! Might suggest it to DH.

Choccy you're in my prayers tonight.

I also had a sob because Hollie Willoughby is pregnant!
Oh dear, I hope I can be more normal tomorrow x

I just had a "Gaaahhh not another pregnancy!" "Everyone's bloody getting knocked up!" moments when I read about Holly Willoughby. Love her though bitch

Wow I didn't know holly was pregnant again. My oh said last week that we should look out for holly getting pregnant then we know we will too, I got pregnant right after her the last twice

I think I will be out. Optimism has fecked off. I have achey hips and after dtd had the usual pre AF coloured dribbles. Ugh. Its shit. Will wait for af tuesday then am off to the docs.

Sorry jones to hear your troubles. You are not a nutter. All sounds perfectly nirmal except the nudity

And sorry to spinning that af got you.

retro I'm really not too clued up on temping but I think you HAVE to do it first thing before you even fart let alone move or get up. So possibly your night time temp is a red herring?

Notta me tooooo crap, isn't it?!

Bought some cheap Sainsburys cough mixture with guafeinisin in!

Ordered B6

Got my lube

Got my opks

Ready for next cycle!

How often do you take the cough mixture and when? Does it need to be all cycle or just running up to ov? How quickly does it work?

Still emotional and I feel ready to be a loving mama. Scared of losing the loving connection with dp and all the tiredness and hard work that comes with having a baby. Tbh I am shit scared of getting pg!

Tried a bit of upside down cycling for the first time after dtd, wonder if it actually makes a difference?

MrsExtraOrdinary, I think the white cm is before and after ov and clear is when the time is right.

I have totally lost track of where I am in my cycle. I can't opk because of pcos, so really have no idea about timing. So overall totally confused and chaotic.

Wide awake pre 6am. Again.

NottaLotta, I know that , but I can't resist the temptation . Just did it now and I'm back at 37.22, which is in the high range that it was yesterday (37.41). I have become totally obsessed with my FF chart!

Choccy, I'll be thinking of you this morning. Are you going to POAS again today?

Nosaint, could you OPK all month with internet cheapies? I don't know how it would work for pcos, but with my irregular cycles I've been using them from CD3. It gets so it feels wrong to pee without catching it in a cup! It did catch ov this month, but I've had a 'normal' one this cycle.

missmrs, you certainly sound prepared! The cough mixture is 2tsp 3x a day. I took it from around CD8 until a couple of days after my positive OPK. But don't take my advice, I don't know if it's worked yet

I am so bored of being ill. The odd thing is that at this time in the morning I'm wide awake and coughing up multi-coloured phlegm but at half four on the way home from work I nearly fell asleep at the wheel. No boob pain or anything normal . Oh, my skin, which is usually a grease slick attractive is really dry at the moment. And pre-AF not a spot in sight, which is very odd, though I did have a couple of whoppers about a week ago. And yesterday, following my 'runny tummy' the day before, I didn't poo at all. Went to the loo and just did The Most Almighty Fart! Sorry, TMI, but it's all going on the symptoms list

I'm awake too, feeling sick, not pg symptom, but we still haven't been paid. Expected and promised last Saturday, then told Thursday, then this Saturday. The money isn't there. If it doesn't come in this week I'm not sure what we are going to do. Yesterday I was convinced a day out would be better than looking at each other all weekend at home. But now even I feel gloomy. Poor dh, he's utterly gutted. This is how companies like ours go under, because big companies choose not to pay. Sorry completely un ttc related, except this level of stress can't help can it. Maybe a few hours work now will clear my head a bit. I couldn't lay in bed just thinking..... This affects so many people, the people that work for us and their children. I'm. Sure we will get through somehow but I can't see how at 6.22 on a Saturday morning.

I hate waking up at this time on lie-in day. Big stomach ache though - digestive I think so nothing interesting.
Temp this morning was 37.84 - my chart doesn't go up that high. I blame all the cocktails I had last night (not drinking for lent is not going well).
mrs that doesn't sound good about your work. Telling someone not to get stressed over something stressful is neither useful or effective so I'm just going to say I hope things sort themselves out. Maybe going out today is a good idea to try and take your mind off it.

oh MrsExtra, I can't imagine how frustrating that is, especially when you have employees relying on you. I don't suppose you can do much now it's the weekend? Except carefully plan the rollicking you'll give come Monday. Although if they're customers then you have to keep them in side? How awful for you . At least you feel like you're doing something constructive now, was that why you were up early yesterday too? Worrying about it?

MrsE that is awful, and must be so stressful for you, which is the last thing you need. It must be very frustrating vecause you know these big companies are totally oblivious or simply dont care of the repercussions of them not paying and messing you around. Grrr
I couldnt sleep either, and am now annoyed at myself bcoz after 3 days of achey boobs and feeling sick every evening I decided that with nothing better to do at 6am, poas at 10 dpo was clearly a good idea It wasn't. Bfn and now I feel shitty

rambini, you're not out till AF arrives! I've decided to POAS tomorrow. If it's bfn I'll convince myself it's cos it's too early, even though a FRER should pick it up. If I had tests in the house I'd have POAS already. I have zero will power.

Haha yeh I have no willpower either retro why do we do it to ourselves?! Mine was just an ic, I do have 2 frer in the cupboard along with some clearblue digis for when I def know its a bfp to show dh, some more ics and a superdrug one, I think I need help so I may do frer tomorrow morning. I am so impatient!

Haha, I'm going to get FRERs and a CB digi to show DH! But I'm too much of a wimp, I want him to read the test for me , but I know a CB is less sensitive than FRER... Who am I kidding, I'm going to end up doing it 4am tomorrow when I'm obviously going to be up and then waking him up to wave a pee stick in his face or cry on him.

Oh, and rambini, this was my stash from my last cycle that made it past 18 days... I was so ashamed of myself I took a photo!

And that upside down pic doesn't show the 15 or so ics I got through by 12dpo

Just reading back to see how everyone is getting on.

retro and rambini, good luck when you POAS!

That's awful MrsE! Is there anything you can do?

missmrs how has work been?

choccy it may well take a few days for things to get darker, and regarding the FRER- I did one on Thurs (it had to be used up was my justification!). Absolutely nothing came up, no sign of a line. I then used a superdrug and poundland test using the same FMU and the lines appeared in about 2 seconds, so I have just decided FRERs don't work for me. Maybe they don't for some people, you included? When do you have to stop the pessaries?

Very exciting Writer, good luck for the next few weeks!

Haha I feel so much better that it isnt just me who is totally certifiably obsessed and insane impatient! Yeh I will also prob get up really early tmoro and do a FRER. Sods law I am always exhausted on a school day and can't get out of bed yet when the weekend comes I am wide awake! Also, a question about ics. It says on it to let the pouch and fmu come to room temp before you test. 1) who stores their ics in a fridge or an oven that they would need to get to room temp, and 2) does it actually matter if the fmu is room temp? I tend to just dunk straight away?

Kate, retro & rambini, thankyou!!! Was really wallowing in despair earlier, but I'm getting on now, which is all I can do today. You're right we can't scream too loudly because we still work for them. The kind of money we are owed would buy a 2 bed luxury apartment in the harbour we live in along the south coast. I hope the bread and butter payers get a wriggle on and then we will be ok.

The up side is it's taken my mind off tww.
