Hi everyone! I've just been catchin up on all the John Wayne news :-)
I've missed a lot it seems. Shary, so sorry about your possible diagnosis, but it sounds like you're being really strong - even though I know you must be feeling very weak underneath it all. But as you say, it's good you're closer to a diagnosis now, and you know you're ovulating as well, which is a good sign. Pirsy sorry to hear you have PCOS - but sounds like you're being really positive about it too, and it sounds really good you're ovulating anyway! Hugs to you both!
glitter I hope you are put out of yur misery with this long cycle soon!! Really hoping it will end with BFP, fingers crossed for you!
Flowers and Kitten good luck with the temping. On my second full cycle of temping, it's already helping me feel much clearer about my cycles. Kitten don't despair if your temps look a bit all over the place. Mine were looking really confusing at the beginning of this cycle, but as the month has gone on, I can see that I did ovulate, which is hugely helpful, and I should be able to pinpoint the day my period will arrive (4 days and counting). SO if AF is late, I will have more reason to feel hopeful than I normally would when I'm not sure when I ovulated (without temping). It's good for somebody like me with quite irregular periods (anywhere between 19-31 days), as I can look back and see when I've ovulated. I'll post a couple of pics from my phone for those interested.
So sorry to hear about all these Baby Bombs (good new John Wayne slang there!). It is very hard to take, and I think it makes you feel worse as well because you don't actually want to feel bad about somebody else's good news, but you do. Horrid mixed empotions. At 38 the babies are popping out left, right and centre at the moment, so I have to try and stay stromg and positive. I think the fact I am trying to stay positive and believe it will happen for us makes it easier. Also, I know I am very lucky to have my DS (who is currenly lying beside me in bed, off sick, with a temp of 39.1 poor thing!). So I'm sure that must make it easier for me. But I really do understand how hard it must be for those of you TTC for the first time. Sending positive vibes and hugs.
beanz Welcome to you, you've been a really nice positive addition to the board. Fingers crossed for you on this journey.
I think I'm going to be early for the GBPO, as I am due in 4 days, so I guess I'll be POAS in 4 days. I just stupidly did a test, am only 10dpo, and it wasn't with FMU, but I still did anyway, and got BFN! Why do we torture ourselves this way. I am swearing off any more sticks unless the witch is actually LATE. So maybe 5 - 6 days from now I will allow myself if it is late. I don't feel any symptoms at all, apart from a swollen tum, but I think that's more to do with the pizza I had last night than any symptom! I've also been having these wierd throbs in the lower middle of my belly for the last 5 days or so. I guess they feel like they could be coming from my uteral lining, but not sure. I think they came too early to be implantation pain, so am just hoping they're nothing sinister.
Anyway SO SORRY for the long post!! I don't know why I can't keep them shorter and snappier!
P.S. still no confermation on the job. Think I will hear on Monday, fingers crossed! Will be a big day thinking about it. Could possibly feel great or rubbish about two things... Sorry still typing! Will stop now!
