Yes I did. For first week or so. Felt really nauseous and had cramping pains.

My folic acid has iron in and I don't know if it is that or the FA itself that makes me feel a bit sickly after taking it. It doesn't exactly taste nice.

Every time i get a neg test i think "oh well have just tested too early!"

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 12:08

I thought it was you Hulababy! What CD are you on?

MrsWednesday · 23/09/2004 12:09

I'm another one. In fact last month I convinced myself I was one of those women who still has a period even when pg, despite the fact that I'd had a really heavy AF, and hadn't even bd at ov time!

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 12:13

Mrs Wednesday - it is such a releif it isnt just me! The worst of it is until this month i was still on the mini-pill and convinced i was pg (i used to take the odd one a few hours late and convince myself that it could be an "accident")

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 12:13

I really am a normal and sane person in RL!

Hulababy · 23/09/2004 12:16

CD 16 today Tesstiebear. No temp change but other signs are suggesting right time!

Geordie · 23/09/2004 12:18

Hulababy,
have you got a link to your chart....having charted for two years.....I know a fair bit!! I have also internalised the book Taking charge of your fertility by toni weschler- the temping bible!! My temps vary between 36.4ish and 36.1 but have varied by 35.8-36.5 in the past- that's before 0...following 0...my temps are normally well over 36.7...up to 37.2. Hope that Helps!

ebbie22 · 23/09/2004 12:19

What are we like...Hulababy what the hell are you doing on here then...Get back into that bed...

MrsWednesday · 23/09/2004 12:22

This place is like a confessional area for TTC nutters! I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

ebbie22 · 23/09/2004 12:24

Well they had to put us somewhere...

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 12:24

LOL Ebbie! I know this is probably TMI but my dh has just gone back to work after being summoned home for a quick bit of BDing!

ebbie22 · 23/09/2004 12:28

Good on yer,at least hes trying..My dh works an hour[at least]away so no chance of a lunch time quickie..

ebbie22 · 23/09/2004 12:29

or even rugby...

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 12:31

TBH its a releif to be past OV, then at least their work is done for the month and its just down to us to sit and wait (and hopefully wave a positve hpt in front of the poor tired DH's faces!)

MINNIE1 · 23/09/2004 12:50

We should tie our dp / dh to the bed over our ovulation time...

Geordie · 23/09/2004 13:13

Hi Ladies, just thought that I'd report in that I'm chuffed to of suddenly got period pains! A sharp stab to the left followed by the pain spreading accross the front and now it seems to of settled on the left and is making my left leg ache! LOL! Quite boring news in the scheme of things but as I haven't had af for 12 months, it's major news for me! Reckon I'll get af either for the party or the holiday! Sods law eh?!!

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 14:30

Thats great news BeckiF - at least if you have an AF you stand a chance of knowing when you next OV

Tessiebear · 23/09/2004 14:31

Oh and happy BDing Geordie!!!

MINNIE1 · 23/09/2004 14:49

Cobweb - that's fantastic news - well done. Babydust cocktails all round! Feeling a bit blue myself today as it's the due date for the baby I lost in March . Still, hoping there might be another on the way. I have been charting temp etc this month on the TCOYF software that I got when trying for dd. I love it - although I have noticed that my basal temp is much lower than it was a couple of years ago, does that mean anything? We'll find out if the software's "good chance" of pregnancy prediction is right early next week. Don't feel preg tho, although I am spectacularly tired....

ebbie22 · 23/09/2004 15:30

Fantastic news beckif,never thought yourd be so happy eh...Sorry to hear your feeling down wilbur...
Thinking of you today..
Happy bdancing to all these who can...xx

Hulababy · 23/09/2004 16:14

Meet Dh for lunch and warned him that the signs are right ; m,aybe I should have had him come home for lunch

Thaaks Geordie - I will wait and see then if that temp shift does make a big jump over the next few days then.
