Does crying at your DH moaning because you've spent mega amounts on Christmas count as a symptom? Wink

Blueskygirl30 · 12/11/2014 21:14

Frolic that blank whiteness is horrible, and just plain rude!! And I've had thrush this cycle too, I'm blaming the bokathon we had over ovulation.

Beautician that definitely sounds like a symptom!

Frolicacid · 12/11/2014 21:14

Thanks spinning. No boots in our town. We really are the back of beyond! I have just ordered some online that will get here Monday. I'm really not feeling positive. I was just telling DH that I'm convinced this is not our month and got quite upset. I hate this. I am usually a proper positive person, I really believe in a positive mental attitude. But now I'm scared to think positively in case my hopes get dashed again this month. But I'm also scared I will affect any good vibes by feeling so negative. Fuck me, this is hard.

Not sure if we could bear to be parted from frolicdog! But if we decide to send her your way, you might want to invest in some ear plugs as her snoring is getting louder by the day!

Bovnydazzler · 12/11/2014 21:17

bluesky right I'm going for 10dpo POAS too on Sunday! (Please don't be white line of nothingness!)

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 12/11/2014 21:21

Haha Bluesky

Lots of the symptoms are looking promising for everyone so fx

Frolic I never ever show a positive on Ics for some reason

I didn't make it to boots so I may do an online shop with a standard delivery so will be here at the earliest Monday then I won't be tempted to poas over the weekend

MissMrsMummy · 12/11/2014 21:36

hugs everyone who feels rubbish today Sad this is so hard.

Sorry those of you with thrush too! Oww!

So the Sun poas party is still on... Just hope I can attend! I would be 10 dpo... Never made it to there before! Will probably be throwing my own pity party by then instead...

MademoiselleG · 12/11/2014 21:53

Sorry for everyone having a rubbish day. This depressing weather really isn't helping with the mood lifting either Hmm

Well... I'm out. After so many promising symptoms, the witch turned up tonight at 12dpo. theproof sorry I won't make the party Friday!

I'm not going to do anything specific this coming month - ditching ff app, no temping, no opks, nothing. I might even give MN a wide berth for a while wishful thinking as I'm far too obsessive because of it. It stings. It hurts. This time last year, I was holding off stopping the pill because I didn't want to get pg too early... Oh the arrogance!

Let's hope there are loads more bfps and healthy pregnancies on this bus x

MissMrsMummy · 12/11/2014 21:56

Sorry madamoiselle that's rubbish! Maybe a new approach will be successful for you. I hope so. Don't leave us though!

Treaclepie19 · 12/11/2014 22:03

So sorry mademoiselle. I know what you mean. This time last year we were waiting to try as we didn't want to be struggling with money.

mzzzf · 12/11/2014 22:17

Hey ladies! CD18 over here, not entirely sure I ovulated 'think' I did over the weekend because of desire for rudies, super CM and soft lady bits but no peak on cbfm - so who knows!
I have since become mega tired and have a giant mouth ulcer so clearly this is a symptom right?! Grin

Frolic your chart looks fab! I know what you mean about the positive/negative vibes worry, I'm trying to remain impassive BUT I have read that thinking 'not this month' is kinda common for ladies who are upduffed!! FX!

Dozy go back to your GP pronto and demand testing. Regardless of ttc having regular non-AF spotting is not right and needs investigation lovely.

Keep those chins up ladies, this is a such an arse-wipe of a task but we will get there eventually, then we can relax on a chaise and have our DHs feed us doughnuts grapes Grin

Dozygirl · 12/11/2014 22:17

Yuck thrush. Hope it clears up soon for u guys. It's such an inconvenience to dtd! Sorry for those with AF. See u on the december bus. FlowersCake

Dozygirl · 12/11/2014 22:20

Thanks for all the support about the stupid gp. Made me feel a million times better. I'll make an appointment for this swab to rule out any infection and then I can shove it in his face and say told u so :) or hopefully I'll get my BFP in December and then it won't matter heehee.

Blueskygirl30 · 12/11/2014 22:21

Mademoiselle I'm sorry AF got you, it's so hard putting in all the effort, temping, taking tests, timing the DTD to get the best shot and then hoping and positively waiting for the bfp, only for the witch to come. If I don't get my bfp I'm definitely not temping next cycle and might avoid opks too. Flowers I hope that taking a breather from focusing on your BFP brings it for you

Frolicacid · 12/11/2014 22:43

Sorry af turned up Mademoiselle . I think I may follow your stress-free approach if I'm not successful this cycle.

I have canesten but the thrush is nasty. Good job I have just ensured DH will not want to dtd by having an utter flip with him over some washing! I had hung some up and he changed them to be hung a different way. Apparently that was utterly unreasonable and I am never doing his washing again Hmm ....... Pmt anyone?

Tiredness and mouth ulcer are promising symptoms mzzzf - I bet you have never been pleased to get an ulcer before!

I like your attitude dozy - get the swab done and then on to the next thing when it comes back clear.

Good night all, today has been shit for so many of us, it can only mean that tomorrow will be better!

tootsroots · 12/11/2014 22:55

Mzzzzf hmmmmm doughnuts.

Craving! Symptom!GrinGrin

Other than take end of virus coughing I feel so utterly big standard it is odd!!! I can't even claim Any oddness, body is unremarkable in every way Never thought I would be disappointed by that!

Bitchy af might have got you ladies today but give her the finger and eat chocolate and plan an af treat! Love that idea some one else came up with... Fancy socks or slippers or new undies to open when af is here! I went to primark and bought new warm pjs for my af arrival;)

Lost another 1.5 lbs not trying hard at slimming world boooo yeah!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 13/11/2014 05:08

Mademoiselle sorry AF got you. The party season is upon us so fx for a BFP after some chilling out & lots of wine Wine

Toots well done on the weight loss. I really need to tackle my weight before falling pregnant but I just can't seem to shift it.

Ooh love the treating yourself idea. I love this time of year & need new pjs so may get myself some next week if the witch arrives.

8dpo. I'm sure I'm weeing more but all my other imaginary symptoms seem to have disappeared.

spinningirl10 · 13/11/2014 06:39

Morning Grin

Madem, sorry af arrived, definitely treat yourselfThanks

Frolic, I already have one snorer in the house, my bf! Maybe I'll make do with looking at frolic the fertility dogs pictureGrin

Can't believe there's 10bfps here already, let's keep them coming.

victoria401 · 13/11/2014 06:44

Woken up with nausea again, 2nd day in a row. It might possibly be imaginary though. Boobs are sore too but I get sore boobs every month anyway. They look the same as normal, no nipple changes.

Hope this Thursday is good for all the sad people in here, just think, its FRIDAY TOMORROW!! Any nice plans for the weekend? Might ask dh to take me out for breakfast :-)

Boosk · 13/11/2014 07:06

Finally got a temp rise (I think, have been very erratic at the temp taking). So if I ovd at all, it was much later than expected and we probably missed it. I'm so relieved just to see that rise though. I was convincing myself I wasn't going to ov at all.

Sorry to those who are having a shitty time, who af got, with bfns and anyone generally fed up with it all. Love the idea of a treat for af arrival. I do need some nice new knickers!

Good luck to anyone testing today, keep them coming! Smile

gennibugs · 13/11/2014 08:20

Morning all.

Sorry to those AF got. its never easy.

There are some promising sounding symptoms around - fx for you all! I'll be cheering on the poas party from the sidelines.

I am so tired this morning, have had to be up early every morning this week and it's taking its toll now!

Frolicacid · 13/11/2014 08:34

Promising symptoms there victoria. Fx for you.

Yay for temp rise boosk. Shame you missed ov, but good that it happened.

My temp is headed down and I had a bfn this morning, so looks like ag will be here sometime soon. Balls Sad

CoffeeOne · 13/11/2014 08:44

8dpo here and still refusing to acknowledge any symptoms as they're all the bloody same as pre af symptoms which has driven me bonkers the last 3 months!

Will poas on Sunday at 11dpo. I'm not feeling very positive though. Full of a cold and this glum weather doesn't help. Hope you all have a better Thursday.

Mumwannabe82 · 13/11/2014 08:47

Has it dropped by much frolic? Xx I really hope its just a random dip for you xxxx

Frolicacid · 13/11/2014 08:57

Thanks mum. Drop is 0.3, so a reasonable dive. It's not below my cover line yet, but is headaed that way. Previous cycles have been gradual drops rather than plummets iykwim. And a bfn. It's not looking promising. I'm gutted, but on the bright side it looks like I can have some booze this weekend after a whole cycle off!

StowFrenchy · 13/11/2014 09:01

Hey mademoiselle so sorry AF has arrived. I think the relaxed approach can really work - after using OPKS and driving myself mad, I ditched everything and DTD EOD and that's how I conceived #1! :)
Sorry for BFN Frolic...
Still symptom spotting here - 13dpo... testing tomorrow if AF has not turned up by the end of the day!
