Sorry I haven't been about much recently, stupid work is making work hard!! On the plus point I asked for a pay raise and got a good one. So I'm happy! Every little bit helps with our baby making fund
Congrats Springflower - hurrah for a pay raise!
Sorry Rompy
Squirrel and Lucky - are you excited to test this week?! Are you guys symptom-spotting at all?
Anyone get the post-O blues? Kind of like you get excited to hit your peak and then you do and then it's all over till next month? Or maybe I'm PMS'ing!
I am trying not to symptom spot...have been burned by it too many times before. Not too many symptoms to spot anyway! Sore boobs, but as well all know, I am ignoring my boobs this month.
Totally get the post O blues...this is the time of month where I get all negative and lose my PMA...which is what I am doing...despite my faith in June Explosion, I don't think it's gonna be my month. We shall see!
I figure we could use one of these right about now!!
Yay for the group hugs! Also Squirrel - I love your siggy - but want June Explosion to continue into Winter for me (your Summer is my Winter!).
Lucky - also meant to say thanks for you post a while ago. Had a really bad time with the BFNs and AF arriving, just thought it was my time last month but it wasnt to be. Put it all in perspective now but you really helped.
CD9 today, wont start testing with OPK until CD14. Trying to not get too obsessed with TTC this month although still sticking with SMEP for one more month. Have conceive+ to try out and considering purchasing soft cups but better get a move on....
Hey Waiting, so glad that I helped a little bit
It's so hard isn't it. I have to say, I used softcups for the first time this month and really liked them. Don't know if it helped, but they were super easy to use and it can't hurt! Good luck love xx
Hi all please can i be added i am not feeling hopeful this month but will be testing on 29th june if witch has not shown up by then
For sure, will add your date now
hello girls, how are you?
Good luck Springflower, I just know you are going to get your bfp!
I go in for IUI this Friday, hopefully DH's SA is better
hugs,
Good Luck Britt! Hope it goes well - let us know!
Couldn't quite wait for Wednesday to come around, so I tested this morning. BFN No surprise. AF is supposed to arrive on Wednesday, but I'm thinking since my luteal phase is so short, I don't even think I could really get a BFP if I am pregnant until at least a few days after. I am only 8 or 9 dpo today.
Seeing a BFN was probably a good thing though. I needed to be taken back down to reality a little. I've been symptom spotting all weekend. Kind of pointless, since most symptoms can be attributed to AF on it's way- mostly very mild cramping on and off and crying at the drop of a hat. (Although I did have bloody gums this weekend, which I never do. I'm hoping that that is promising.)
So, we'll see if the witch shows her face in a few days. I hate waiting... I'm not very good at it!
Yeah, waiting sucks! And how frustrating is it that pg symptoms are identical to AF symptoms - so unfair! Bleeding gums could be a good sign though...fingers crossed! I am 9dpo today as well I think xx
Whew, it seems like a lot of you have had the symptoms I'm spotting at the moment, so its a good thing I read them cos I've been getting a bit too carried away, despite efforts to try not to.This is my first real 2WW so I have been enjoying the fantasy but this week is getting to me a bit now. I can see how exhausting it's going to get after a few cycles.
It's an up and down kinda thing...but I have to say it some ways it has gotten a bit easier - I think the first month was hardest as I was so sure I was pg. Anyway - it may happen for you really quickly and you won't ever have to worry about it! Hope so xx
on a side note, there really needs to be a roller coaster smilie!
Love this! Perfect for TTC xx
My OH's birthday yesterday, we had a nice night going out for dinner then watching a DVD.
Feeling ok, not really symptom spotting, and pretty sure that it ain't gonna be my month - but at the moment feeling ok with that.
Gotta go make a vege lasange for dinner - it's so cold today, I feel like some nice warm comfort food!
gets me! I'm trying not to symptom spot but it's hard not to. I'm not very patient either (which is why I have 7 tests waiting for me at home 
)
. Don't we all wish this could be easier! But at least we're in this together 
Congrats on the payrise Springflower.
