Mademoiselle, just enjoy the cheese and wine! Envy

Been chatting to Dr Google this evening... Had a small glass of red and tonight, same as last night, it has given me a really sore throat. Went symptom hopping and figured that my recent snotty nose with no other cold symptoms (now they've finally gone!) stinging sore throat and coughing up phlegm (sorry, tmi) could be due to a form of acid reflux. Which could be due to progesterone relaxing my digestive system. is three sticks in a day overkill? Yes, it is, I know. Ok. I'll wait.

RetroHippy · 22/04/2014 22:41

Oh, and the nosebleeds can be linked as well. If I'm not upduffed I need to start knocking back the pepto.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/04/2014 22:47

Mademoiselle buy a French stick! Sorry I just couldn't resist Wink

MademoiselleG · 22/04/2014 22:51

Hahaha MrsE!!! Didn't even think of that one.

I need slapping. I want to poas. Badly. And am feeling proper pms-y: cranky, exhausted, uber-sensitive and emo. I cried tonight's because my cake dough rose and spilled into the manly rental house oven. And because I wanted to watch OBEM but can't from here. I'm ridiculous. I know.

I'll go and pee on a French stick then.

MademoiselleG · 22/04/2014 22:52

Retro: still totes preggers!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/04/2014 22:52

Tily I'm testing Friday too. I'll be 15dpo I think. That is if af doesn't get me first, which is likely as I'm a moody cow. Not feeling even slightly pg.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/04/2014 22:55

Mademoiselle I've got a vision of the bread aisle! Grin Haha.

MademoiselleG · 22/04/2014 22:55

Glad I'm not he only moody cow MrsE. I want to slap everyone, then cry and have them comfort me. It's a shame anybody has to be near me, really!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/04/2014 23:06

I know that feeling. Dh and I have decided to get divorced twice this evening already. It's fairly standard for cd26. Im very lucky he's easy going. I can be quite vile. I just have no tolerance for him at all unfortunately this time of the month. He was just working out how to pay "my" credit card bill and I was fairly horrendous to him. Clearly it's something to make a girl cross, a man to pay her bill for her. Sad

RetroHippy · 22/04/2014 23:10

And the snoring. Oh the snoring! I've been banished to the spare room so DH can get a decent nights sleep. he did offer to go himself but I'm a martyr

Sorry, will stop harping on now.

But the antacids did cure my sore throat instantly...

Sorry, sorry! Haha, French stick!

Save OBEM for your return Mademoiselle. I quite often watch them in bulk when DH isn't around to scare! What's the weather like over there? It's been crap here today so hopefully you're getting some sunshine.

kurama · 22/04/2014 23:12

wehey! found you! I started a thread asking if anyone had seen the bus I was so worried. --on may bus but still stalking you to cheer you all onSmile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 22/04/2014 23:28

Look what just popped up on my fb feed:

It's a sign surely! Grin

RetroHippy · 23/04/2014 06:36

Any news from this mornings POAS-ers yet?

Lying in bed arguing with myself over whether to use a cheapy Wilkos strip (20mlu) or the more expensive Wilkos early result I got (12.5 mlu).

But I do need to pee...

fancyacupoftea · 23/04/2014 06:38

Use the more expensive one!

KittyVonCatsington · 23/04/2014 06:38

Love it, MrsE!

I've got no idea when I'm testing-I'm still OPK-ing on CD23 for God's sake!

Feel like the least my body can do is bloody ovulate-give me a fighting chance Dragon

fancyacupoftea · 23/04/2014 06:40

I'm lying in bed too, doing a symptom run down. Last night I actually convinced myself I might be 'totes pregs' but then got annoyed with myself as thinking positively at this point is only going to end badly.

This morning though I'm not totes pregs so back to normal!

victoria401 · 23/04/2014 06:49

BFN, there's a surprise.....

RetroHippy · 23/04/2014 06:50

See, last night; totes pregs.

This morning; temp dropped slightly and I'm not utterly convinced I'm not.

Despite the fact that I've not temped from the start of the cycle and I'm comparing to last month when I was ill and had a fever of 37.4 at one point.

Why do I always go bonkers for the last week? It's started to be a relief when AF arrives because at least the madness ends!

fancyacupoftea · 23/04/2014 06:51

Oh no, sorry victoria! How many dpo are you again?

RetroHippy · 23/04/2014 06:52

Sad Victoria. No AF though, so you're not out yet!

SYMPTOM: I dreamed I got leeches stuck to my face as there was nothing I could do except wait for them to drop off. [boak]. Then I had to visit family for Christmas with leech face and I hadn't got them any presents. Odd.

fancyacupoftea · 23/04/2014 06:57

Yeah this last week is awful retro. It really doesn't help that af symptoms are so similar.

So last night I felt like I had a cold, been carrying round a headache for a couple of days, stomach cramps/ twinges/ pain, boobs starting to hurt a bit, felt car sick yesterday and it carried on a bit longer than it should have. All seems nothing to get excited about.

RetroHippy · 23/04/2014 07:02

Bfn. I've decided to keep using the cheapy ones until AF is actually overdue. The last week is the pits.

victoria401 · 23/04/2014 07:04

14dpo. Got cramps this morning big time. Prob get af later in the day. Feel stupid to have got my hopes up and 'wasted' a test. Just feel like I deserve a bit of good news after 17cycles of crap. At least its only a few weeks til we get answers from dh's SA. If I know there is still a chance at least I have something to aim for. If he's firing blanks, I wanna know so we can just stop going through this every month :-(

victoria401 · 23/04/2014 07:07

Sorry retro x

EnglishGirlAbroad · 23/04/2014 07:08

Found you... going to loiter watching out for some more bfps. Surely there must be a few more to squeeze out?

Sorry for the bfn Victoria and Retro. Victoria IF there is a problem with DH you would at least be able to get a plan in place no? Is IVF an option? Obviously I REALLY hope it doesn't come to that.
