Feel really fecking depressed, angry and teary today now. Cramps are getting stronger and I'm on crotch watch. Don't understand why this is happening now as I always have 14/15 day lp. I only had 10 day lp last month coz I think the HSG must have messed with something. Now I'm worried its really messed with something!

Also really angry coz I'm being relied on heavily this week in work. There are 3 of us trained to do this special procedure that involves lone working for the day. This is the 3rd day this week I've been doing it coz the other 2 were either not here or doing something else. Its so fecking lonely compared to the bustle of my main place of work. I feel I need normal chatter of workmates instead of sat on my own in a room dwelling on the shiteness of stuff. Even my friend has cancelled tonight coz her youngest is sick so no wine dilemma.

I'm so sorry you feel so horrible Victoria and I can totally understand how working on your own makes you feel worse. Is there anyone at work you can talk to, or any way you can explain that you don't want to be by yourself at the moment? Thinking of you Flowers

Quietlyhopeful81 · 14/11/2014 10:56

Also, Frolic, my sister in limbo, how are you doing today? What happened with your temp this morning? Mine went up by 0.1 but still looks too low on my rubbish half completed chart. I've spent half the morning looking at 'charts like mine' and determining that none do. Also getting minor cramps and becoming a bit obsessive. Genuinely believed two months ago that I would never get to this stage of symptom spotting, and we haven't been trying anywhere near as long as a lot of people, so I kind of feel bad for feeling so disappointed.

On another note, ordered preseed last night ready for next month.

TerrysNo3 · 14/11/2014 11:48

Victoria my last mn post before my BFP with DD was me saying I felt AF on the way, and look what happened! Smile Stay positive. Thanks

9dpo and I am counting down the days until Sunday when I will allow myself to test, I've not bought any tests yet though as I do not want temptation in the house!

I exposed my breasts to DH today and said "does one look bigger than the other?". He agreed that my right does look bigger than the left Blush which seems to have happened after having 2 DC, they both preferred feeding off that one and it seemed to get bigger as a result. But they could always be lopsided now Grin

Creamy CM still but nothing else whatsoever. Who is POAS on Sunday?

gennibugs · 14/11/2014 11:51

Morning all

Congratulations 247. You must be over the moon Grin

victoriaThanks I'm sorry you are having a bad day. Can you ask to not to do the solitary work next week? Perhaps make up an excuse why you can't? I'm sorry your friend cancelled - could you maybe do something nice with DH instead. Or treat yourself to a magazine, some chocolate and warm bath? It's horrible when your body messes you around, just adds to the tension of it all.

6dpo here and had a huge temperature spike today so not sure what's going on. I was hoping I might get an implantation dip not a hike up! Luckily work is manic so keeping me from symptom spotting too much and I've started back with my PT so am aching from that so badly that I can't feel much else Grin.

tessiegirl · 14/11/2014 12:21

Just wanted to pop in and say congratulations 247!

MissMrsMummy · 14/11/2014 12:44

genni I had a spike today too! (8dpo) let's hope it means something!

Sorry work is awful and your friend cancelled victoria you need to plan a treat for yourself!

victoria401 · 14/11/2014 12:49

Cramps have vanished, even more confused now! I keep crying randomly too. I talked to one of the girls before coming over to my little room and started blubbing, she knows we are having trouble ttc though. Spoke to a senior about the crapness of my day too and had to hold back tears until after she left! I can't do this work any other time as it's a behind the scenes medical test that I do in conjection with theatres at the hospital. I'm just in a little lonely lab waiting for samples from theatre to be brought to me. I should be grateful for this chance to help patients though as only a few hospitals do this test and only 80 people in the country are trained! At first I was umming and ahhing about training when given the opportunity as we'd just started ttc. I have now been doing it 19 months! I also cannot do it when pregnant because of the risks from infections and mild radiation.

Plan on doing something nice with dh tonight instead, I fancy getting a curry and watching a film.

Sorry about hogging the thread with my miserable day!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 14/11/2014 13:28

Victoria Sorry you are having a rubbish day Thanks Like others have said you need to be kind to yourself. If it helps have a big cry. Then home to a bath and if a curry and film is what you want tonight then do it. Is there anything at all you can get lost in that will stop the thought of it all.

Terry's I'm due af on Sunday or Monday. I have placed a boots order with frer in it that will arrive Monday so if af hasn't arrived by then I'll be poas as soon as I can after the order arrives. I have lots of imaginary symptoms but I'm sure af is in its way

MissMrsMummy · 14/11/2014 13:44

beautician me too! Frers should be arriving today so I will have to hold back until Sunday! Unless the bitch witch gets me first!

xBlueberry88x · 14/11/2014 16:22

Afternoon Ladies,

Congrats 247

Vicky Sorry your not having a good day I know the feeling. My boss doesnt work afternoons anymore since he has had cancer so I spend all afternoon and some days on my own gets lonely and I think to much! have some wine and snuggle on the sofa with DH

Wasnt there supposed to be loads of ladies poas today what happened??

Terrys Obsessing cant be good but its so damn hard not to!

Genni I hope a temp spike is a good thing!!

Had a bad day to today a few of you will remember were getting double glazing in our house. Yesterday we found out that our house is in a conservation area with a section 4 on our house meaning we need planning permission to do anything.
The windows have already been made so now we have to pay for them no matter what and put planning in to get the windows done.
The guy at the council pretty much said that the front windows wont be accepted and will need to be high grade replications of the windows already there and at a grand a window (4 windows) its a lot of money.

Mega stressed an just ate to pots of joy with out stopping grrrrrr lol

CoffeeOne · 14/11/2014 16:29

Congrats! 247

This 2ww is dragging sooooo slowly. And whilst I've been doing a good job of ignoring 'symptoms' this month, I seem to be extra emotional and I know I'll be crushed when AF arrives. After a long time not being, I'm really ready for another baby now and it seems to be all I can think about at the moment.

Does anyone else feel like they're not doing the rest of their life justice? Like you're almost 'on hold' whilst ttc. I'm not very focused at work, I'm a bit grumpy at home, I don't like ttc me!

tootsroots · 14/11/2014 17:41

Coffee you have hit the nail on the head with what you describe! I just can't concentrate on anything. Dh even gave me a free remit to renovate the house to distract me and I can't even focus on that despite asking for months.

I was due to poas today but did it yesterday and bfn so not waiting for af. In a limbo state of can't care less what else is happening can't be bothered to go out can't be bothered to chat as all I get is baby bombed.

Someone even had the nerve to say oh you have been married a year like me ... Race is on now then for babies. It is not a race!!! It's special and lucky. Grr. Pmt or what!

CoffeeOne · 14/11/2014 17:48

Glad it's not just me toots. Let's hope it happens soon for us Smile

Blueskygirl30 · 14/11/2014 18:10

Sakura sorry AF arrived for you. Be kind for yourself and I hope you get a December BFP!

Treacle I'm glad you ov'd but sorry you didn't manage to DTD around that time.

247 massive congratulations on your BFP! You must be so excited. Wishing you a happy and boring pregnancy! Smile

Terrys I too am becoming obsessed with temping, I wake up early and then worry about not getting enough sleep to take my temp a few hours later. It doesn't help that I've been having to go to the toilet one or two times during the night for the past few days! Plus, ff still doesn't think I've ovulated, it's really annoying me now.

Victoria Im Sorry you're having such a rubbish time at the moment, I hope that someone else takes over on the solitary stuff next week.

Blueberry that's really rubbish with the windows, I hope that they see sense in planning and allow you to put in the windows you've ordered.

So, 8dpo here, I had a tiny amount of brown spotting earlier today and have had headaches for several days now, plus peeing loads and lots of cramping. But ff doesn't think I've even ovulated so I wouldn't be surprised if AF rocked up over the weekend (I'd be pretty livid though and not fun to be around at all!!)

MissMrsMummy · 14/11/2014 18:19

bluesky similar symptoms here! Just hoping AF holds off.. Such a nerve wracking time!

Frolicacid · 14/11/2014 18:32

Congratulations 247 Flowers

Thanks cariad. I'm having the sane quandary about wine tonight. Still undecided.

Sorry you are having a shitty day victoria. I hope you have a lovely weekend to rest and recover.

Hello quietly my limbo sister! I could have written your post today. 0.1 temp rise today, which is good, but still looking lower than I'd like. I'm also feeling bad about how upset this is making me as we haven't been trying all that long. I still don't have any symptoms whatsoever still. Apart from a bit of rage the other day. Nothing to indicate AF ir BFP imminent. I'm 14 dpo tomorrow and ag usually arrives 14-16 dpo, so will hopefully be out of limbo soon.
I saw my friend today who is very poorly with cancer. Thinking about his situation gave me a massive reality check and made me realise how lucky we are to be happy and healthy.

Promising symptoms bluesky and miss Grin fx for you

Sorry about your windows blueberry. Mega shit. Enjoy wine and snuggles.

I hope everyone has a lovely Friday night.

TerrysNo3 · 14/11/2014 18:44

Firstly, sorry for me post. I have some sharp pains in my right side and half of me is getting excited and the other half is petrified because it's so sharp and in the right side where my remaining tube is that I'm now just really scared of another ectopic. Sad Sad

Blueskygirl30 · 14/11/2014 19:06

Oh Terrys I hope it's nothing bad and I hope it's something really good. My SIL had an eptopic at the beginning of last year and now has a healthy 3 month old. Hugs.

Frolicacid · 14/11/2014 19:13

Hope you're ok terry. Get it checked ASAP if there is even a hint it could be eptopic. Flowers

toothachereturns · 14/11/2014 19:32

Congrats 247!
Oh Terry I hope it's just hormonal twinges. But Def get it checked out.

How are you all?

I poas yesterday at 13dpo and it was very much BFN. Sad It was tescos own brand. Clinging to the fact it might have been a rubbish test. AF cramps arrived with a vengeance yesterday but gone today Hmm . AF due on Sunday tho and fully expect her to arrive. Sad

Ho hum.... at least I will be able to have Wine at my parents Ruby wedding anniversary celebration next weekend!

Cariad2014 · 14/11/2014 20:06

Oh Terrys - it's only natural after an ectopic to be scared, and I know that I'd be freaking out if I had sharp pains in my left side, even though I managed a ruptured ectopic last time with no one sided pains whatsoever. I'd try not to get too worried about it right now, and if you do get a BFP, get a super early scan just to be on the safe-side. As I keep reminding myself, the chances of another ectopic after you've had one are still pretty low. Not that this stops me worrying. Enormous hugs Flowers

Blueberry - sorry about your window nightmare - sounds like the last thing you need right now. Wine and snuggles sounds like a plan though. I also wanted to thank you for your recommendation of cake to cheer me up - it's definitely worked over the past few days.

Sorry you've had a rubbish day Victoria - I hope a night in with DH makes you feel better.

Loving the symptoms Bluesky and MrsM - frequent urination has been a definite sign for me when I had my BFPs (although I did manage to "give myself" this symptom on the August bus by drinking huge quantities of water.) Fx this is your cycle.

Waves at Frolic - I really hope this is your month.

victoria401 · 14/11/2014 20:11

Hope you're ok Terrys x

Promising signs bluesky, good luck!

coffee I feel the same about life beug on hold for ttc. Dh thinks I dwell on it far too much that its not healthy, prob right! I hate not being able to plan something 6-12 months away "just in case".

blueberry sorry about your windows hun. That sucks big time.

Sorry for the bfn tooth.

frolic, yes we do need to be thankful we've got our health...

TerrysNo3 · 14/11/2014 20:21

thanks all, sorry I was being such a downer, I need to get my PMA back! Smile

The hospital told me when I left that if I ever get pregnant again I need to call the doctors straight away and get booked into epu so I would do that.

I still have the sharp pain, it's nothing like AF cramps. yet again I must be patient... not my forte! Smile

Cariad2014 · 14/11/2014 20:22

P.S. Terrys - thinking about it, I think the better advice is that even before you get a BFP, if the pains continue/ you're still worried, then I definitely think you should get some medical advice. I'm no medical expert (as I'm sure you can tell) and I'm sure the chances of a ruptured ectopic under 4 weeks are slim, but when you've only got one remaining tube, it's almost invariably better to be safe than sorry.
