Hut of Gl/Doom tercera- We hate babydust and we don't care.

[duchesse]

I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

morning all FMN, so sorry babe.

FMN, All,

sorry for furthering the WRONG message. Serves me right for not logging on to the thread for 10 days and trying to catch up in 30 minutes. Tisk, tisk.

Can I just do a bit of anxious symptom spotting? I will go to the corner and mutter under my breath a la loon. . . .

Twinges didn't continue. Was REALLY tired when I got home, so tired pasta bake didn't happen. Had fry-up instead, quicker and v tasty, although clearly laden with sat. fats, calories and all-round badness. Managed to put in approx. 8.5 hours sleep.

First thing this am, I thought the, ahem ,(TMI alert) 'bottom rumblings' were another sign of impending AF but this has also faded to nothing.

I am feeling so distracted today. There are 100 things I should be doing .........

Mutter, mutter, mutter.....

Duchesse, I hope the children are recovering after their recent confrontation with local bullies. I do not blame you in the slightest for getting angry.

SD, 'Shakey Arm' can be so bad that I can't hold a full cup/glass without spilling a bit. I have learned to be a bit more ambidextrous, especially to cover-up my body's wierd behaviour. If you can imagine me, as I type, looking pale and tired, lank hair, with two hands clamped around my cup of tea (to make sure!) with the odd spot for good measure, you'll be getting the picture of woe that is PMS in my world.

So, back to loony-like muttering, shakey arm has worn off a well. But this might be a trick. Paranoia now kicking in. Argh.

Soreheart, when are you due?

Have to say, the shakey-arm thing is a new one on me!

FMN - sorry about the typo - I was getting excited for you too!

Beansprout - CD21 here - shall we madly symptom spot together? I am covered in spots, some beauties on my chest [yuk emoticon] but don't have the nausea and mahossive boobs I have had the last few months. But that means nothing at all, as I never had them at all before about December.

CD28.
Gulp.

Er, oops, it is CD28 today. Due CD28-31.

Blimey - the Shakey arm thing sounds really grim. Have you ever spoken to the everso helpful medical types about it?
If you'll excuse a layman's interest in nutrition - have you looked into taking vit B6 supps? Sorry if this is too intrusive.

Hi SD, I have mentioned the Shakey Arm to the GP - but no overwhelmingly clear response. But haven't made it central point of appt. so no fault but my own if I don't know much about it.

Vit B. I'm SURE that this would be a good thing - I'm just so bad at establishing the new routine of taking tablets/vits etc. They are all in the cupboard from my last attempt. I will try again as this has been on my mind for the last few weeks. So, I thank you for the reminder!

Meanwhile, back in Huts Loon-corner, I can feel my tubes 'moving'. I am totally over-sensitised at the moment. It's just ridiculous. No metallic taste but didn't get that much on previous pgs. Please note my commendable ability NOT to test. It's become something of a torture-game. Am I turning into a pleasure/pain type? I may have to build a separate tent if that's the way things are going.

Sideways - it's a deal. Shall we have some sort of testing pact too? I am currently on a 28 day cycle. How about you?

I stumbled accross this (I think I qualify for pretty much all of them, so I could play PMT Scrabble - but thought it was interesting as shakes with PMT seem to have been acknowledged since the 1980s. PMT symptom collectors guide - also useful for PMT bingo

BTW - I'm still tugging around my littel black cloud like a grom helium ballon - but this thread has been really appreciated. Thanks.

Just had a quick catch up and felt disturbingly optimistic with a few CD28-types to keep an eye on.

Having abstained for a few months prior to our big shag-a-thon holiday, dh and I are now back and spectacularly failed to conceive. Dh is a little perturbed by my attitude of 'Well we did it twice a day at the right time for a week and it didn't work. I can't face going through all that again every month just for nothing'. I could perhaps have been a little more sensitive and complimented dh on his marvellous stamina... I am very gloomy though. It's depressing to want something so much that, as far as I know I'm doing everything text-book style to achieve and having no success. At the weekend I was even cross with the pregnancy tests for not even providing any evap lines for me to go cross-eyed over. I really felt they could have tried harder.

Dh now away for a few days so virtual drinking and passing out on the floor is likely to become a reality tonight. That's something to look forward to at least.

They forgot to include appalling typing/spelling as a PMT symptom... or maybe it is a sign......

Beansprout - I have thought about testing (slap me now), as I am on a 25/26 day cycle. Always regret it though .

I felt a little twinge earlier - could be a sign... fuck knows of what though.Are you going to test???????

eclipse - know what you mean - I was convinced I would conceive when I was all relaxed on holiday. I'd heard so many stories about it happening. Didn't bloody happen for me though.

Hi, sideways,
every month I say I won't test til I'm late because it's so expensive, and then every month I weaken because this month I know it worked because it just had to etc. So, I would add an anti-testing slap as well but as I'm now on my 6th virtual spliff (I managed to hide an emergency supply behind the cushions) I'm feeling too mellow.

Next month I'm just going to keep my BFNs and look at them when I feel like testing. The end result's the same. Hmm, mellow but still very gloomy.

I'm not going to test until next Thurs at the earliest (like I'll casually just leave it until Friday or something if I make it that far....!). Last 3 cycles BFP (Bastard F*cking Period) has arrived on the Wednesday.

Hey, if we adopt BFP as being short for that, we could be announcing them all the time!!!

Lissie - what time is your appointment? Keeping everything crossed for you.

OK then, I won't test until next Tuesday at the earliest.

Deal... or No Deal?

Never seen the programme, but I'm sure Noel won't mind me borrowing his line!

Eclipse, save some of those splifs for me, will need to mellow out to keep away from those tests.

Ahh marvelous Fact file'!! And shaking is on the list. PMT-C, I think. So, maybe I'm not completely my own, after all.

It's a deal but please, can we not talk of the Edmonds again? Especially not at lunchtime!

Sorry, didn't mean to put you off your food

I cannot tell a lie (!), I will not be able to go beyond day 31 without testing. It's not human to expect me to go any further. I will try to 'mong' myself out on virtual spliffs - if anyone would like to donate?

Just seen 8 months gone colleague in the corridor with her friend saying 'Is everything going well'. Couldn't even look at them. Tut tut. Makes me feel like such a monster when I can't do the acceptable thing.

Ok, TMI alert - just went to the toilet and found a pinprick of blood. This is the classic sign of an implantation bleed and of course, I am now madder than ever!!
[general ttc induced insanity emoticon]

Soreheart - don't give yourself a hard time, it's entirely understandable that you feel like that. Really not what you need at the moment!

Ooh, a pinprick of blood. Will wait with baited breath...

By the way, will we be needing new premises shortly?
