*sigh* Just what I needed.....:(

Here I am 7dpo and sick. Feeling absolutely pitiful and pathetic and not in the slightest bit as though I'm going to see a BFP.

About the only sore things are my throat and chest, but NOT my "girls" which apart from the fact that they are so darned big...appear to have decided to remain incognito this cycle. No twinges, no soreness, no nothing.

Thought I had some slight AF-style cramping today but it could just be the virus that I've picked up. My GP has warned me that this particular lurgy can bring diarrhoea and other nasties along with the cold/flu symptoms.

All in all, I'm miserable and I think I might crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head for a few days. Nothing like a *bug* to take your mind off the 2ww anyway! ;)

Lisa

Oh Lisa - so sorry ur feeling so down in the dumps right now. Hope u feel better really soon and i'll keep my fingers crossed for a :bfp: in a couple of weeks :hug:

Best of luck for this cycle, but as a warning the cough I got at 7dpo has only just started to shift... I hope you don't suffer too much with this!

*groan* Just what I need! :(

Thanks girls. I appreciate you posting, always nice to know that I'm not suffering alone! :)

Lisa

Sorry to hear you're not feeling the best Lisa. Wishing you all the best for a BFP soon!

Hope you feel better soon!

I'm sorry you're feeling so terrible Lisa :( I hope you feel better real soon.

hope ur feeling a bit better today Lisa :hug:

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather, Lisa :hugs: I hope that today is a better day for you!

And hopefully you'll get a surprise BFP very soon to lift your spirits ;)

Love
Belle
-xxxooo-

I know how you feel Lisa, I am just starting to feel better after a week of illness. Hope you feel better real soon!!!!

Kbgirl

I know how you feel too! I felt cr@p all last week, especially the couple of days we should have been ttc!!! Maybe next month!:boohoo:

Hope you feel better soon and best wishes ttc!:)

Thanks everybody. I'm still unwell. Probably worse today than I was yesterday. I haven't felt this lousy in a LOOOONG time! :(

Oh well...this too will pass. I hope. *sigh*

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Know what you mean about feeling absolutely pitiful and pathetic and not in the slightest bit as though we will see a BFP. I am currently 8 DPO and don't have sore BB. Tested tonight and BFN - maybe too early??

I too have had some slight AF cramping, over the past couple of days but feels more like O pains? What is going on?

The TWW sucks! Will test again nxt week? AF due 10th of the month

So sorry you're not feeling well Lisa. Hope it passes quickly. When are you going to test? I'll be looking out for it! :crossfingers:

Morning ladies.

I'm still under the weather. Fifth day of it now. My GP says the "average" is around 7 days so hopefully I'll be back on deck properly next week.

Not sure when I'll test. I noticed that Woollies had 3 pack FRER on special this week so I may pick up a packet of those if we happen to get near a Woollies store (our local supermarket is Coles). My car is going in for a long-overdue service today so I'm not sure if I'll be mobile or not. I think the DH has plans to take the boys to watch a local rugby match tomorrow and the grounds are opposite a Woollies store so I might get lucky then.

I'm really NOT feeling confident this cycle. I know I've said that before, but I truly can't remember ever having not had any symptoms to speak of. My girls aren't usually that sensitive but they usually start to get a bit ******ly* by this time, which always seems to get my hopes up. This time...nothing at all.

AF is due on Monday. I may even just wait and see if she shows her ugly face. Save my $$$ for chocolate. ;)

Hi Lisa - well it's mon and i was wondering if AF reared her ugly head or not. Hope ur feeling better than u were last week :)

Hi Rae

Nothing yet but I'm definitely feeling AF-ish now. I think she'll arrive tonight.

I have managed to develop a doozy of a chest/throat infection. I have very little voice and am coughing up the most revolting stuff you could imagine. Trying to soldier on but it isn't much fun. :(

Lisa

Yep - AF arrived this morn for me too. i'll just have to enjoy a glass of wine now won't i ;) Hope u get a good sleep and feel better tomorrow :)

Well, I'm heading off to bed after a long hot bath. I used muscles today that haven't seen the light of day for months. I mowed my rather large lawn. And now I remember why I try to get out of it as regularly as I can! ;)

Lisa

Thanks Emma!

Well, a couple of updates. My early night and hot bath (complete with Avon Skin-So-Soft oil which I normally only use on my dogs! ;)) did the trick and my chest is feeling a lot better today.

On the subject of "the other end", I'm still none the wiser. I didn't even bother taking my temperature this morning. Woke up late and just couldn't be fussed as I daresay it is on the decline anyway. But, I'm not cramping at all again now, although I was early today and AF still hasn't shown her face. Still have creamy CM with occasional "snot" and not much else to report. I was SOOOO positive that she would arrive last night, that I wore a pad to bed. Waste of a pad! :(

I really don't believe that I did it this cycle. My guess is that AF will arrive any time between tonight and Friday. When I O early, my LP seems to kind of "adjust" itself so that I have around a 28 day cycle. Weird that....

Lisa

Lisa i'm beginning to feel confused and frustrated with my damn cycle too. I'd told u yesterday that AF had arrived but today - nothing at all...and i'm usually gushing on day 2 (sorry TMI). Ggrrrr so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope u get some answers soon :hug:

Thanks Rae, hope you do too.

I don't know if you've read the Maybe Baby thread on the OPKs, HPT's etc forum but I even got some pretty good ferning on my Maybe Baby today. Now that is REALLY confusing!!!!

Lisa

That is!!!!!! I haven't been using my MB for the last few days as it was also confusing me with ferning and i knew that AF was due to arrive. I'll have to do it tomorrow morn and see. I read that thread and thought "what the???"
Wouldn't it just be great if we were both preggas...except that i hadn't planned to TTC til after AF this month and have been drinking stacks of wine lately - so i don't really want that stress!

I really doubt that I am. I just read on another forum that Maybe Baby picks up on the oestrogen surge and that is most usual before O and right before AF. I also read on an American Maybe Baby website that 96% of women who are pregnant when they use MB show negative ferning and the positive results are not yet explained by research. Oh well.

And with regards to the wine. I wouldn't worry too much. I mentioned drinking to my GP when I first conceived Zac back in January and he said that generally most women don't even KNOW they're pregnant and can get up to all kinds of mischief without necessarily harming their babies. As long as you adjust your habits if you get a BFP, that should be sufficient.

Lisa

Thanks heaps for that info Lisa. Well lets hope we both have fabulous luck next month :crossfingers: as it'd be great to keep sharing our experiences throughout preg :)

That'd be excellent Rae! :D

Lisa

Still no AF, though I really do feel that she will come on Friday to give me a 28 day cycle length.

More ferning on Maybe Baby this morning as well. This is weird.

Lisa

Hi Lisa - well no mistaking it for me today...AF came full attack!!!!!!!!! I'll still be keeping my fingers crossed for u though :)

I'm sorry she found you. I don't think I'll be too far behind you! We could be cycle buddies next month!

Lisa

Hey Lisa

Any news???? Fingers crossed AF hasn't found you!!!!

No, she found me. As I thought, she arrived on Friday which gave me a 28 day cycle length. I seem to be one of the unusual women whose LP varies according to O date.

Lisa

Bummer about AF Lisa :( Here's hoping we have a successful month this month :pray: We'll do the countdown together.....hopefully all our clucky vibes will rub off on eachother :D
