    So yesterday wasn't a very good day. I had a crappy day at work, got home, shouted at poor DH for virtually no reason and then even 4 hours later, was still in a rubbish mood, and ended up sobbing my heart out for about an hour before bed, for no real reason. Maybe I just needed hugs :o

    I'm sure the witch will be coming sooner or later, but I'm still hopeful, which is probably what's making me insane. My sore nipples are a bit better but I've had some tummy cramps (actually more like stretching). I'm slowly going mad here :rotfl:

    The thing is, I don't even know if I've OV'd this month, so don't know if I'm even in with the teeniest bit of a chance. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I can't seem to stop myself......

    I'm slowly going mad :D

    Ok, I confess, the I binned every one of them :rotfl:

    I almost did the same but then I started reading them and they were quite good. I also have very little to do at work at the moment so they gave me something to do! :p

    I know what you mean about driving yourself crazy! I'm slowly getting obssessive about it all! ;) I can't help myself though - I'm one of these people who needs to learn as much as they can about something, but in this case too much information is bad! Naughty Emsbet, step away from google! :rotfl:
    Trying so hard not to get my hopes up because I will feel even worse when (if :o) the witch shows up!

    Hope the witch stays away for you!

    Some people with PCOS has high LH and/or estrogen all the time, so CBFM & OPK won't work (will give you lines all the time):o

    I'm using CBFM, and I think it's great:cool:

    The sticks can get expensive if you end up trying for a long time (like me:p). I use cheap OPKs and as soon as I start feeling the ov coming (cm, swollen that area & opk lines getting stronger), I use CBFM sticks. So I save as much as I can.

    Also, once you get Peak, don't feed the stick anymore as the machine stops reading them, and give another Peak, High then Low automatically.

    I *love* it, I'd be !!!!!!ed if I had to take my temp, I'd probably forget... but thats great you can save money and not use all the sticks! Im on my second cycle and going through a pack of 20 each time.. and I thought if I didnt test, it would mess things up!

    Pains are not like AF ones now. Feels more like it did yesterday. Only way I can think to describe it is that it feels like I have a mini washing machine going round in my tummy!!!

    Emsbet, are you due to test soon?

    Morning Ladies!

    Well before I start working, just wanted to update from last night doc's appointment.
    My blood tests all came back absolutely fine, no problems there. DH's sperm test results - well, they weren't great, but then again, they weren't terrible either. The main problem is the motility. Its rather low at 30, but still acceptable. The quantity was a bit low too, but i'm putting that down to rushing around on a work morning to get it done and getting to the hospital on time. So not great, but not as bad as we thought. We're going to give it a year, then if still no results, go back for further more telling tests. So for now, back to what we've been doing I suppose! Onward and forward :)
    Glad the results were pretty good Mozzy :j

    I'm slowly going mad :D

    This is EXACTLY how I was on Wed night...I'd convinced myself I must be pg...OH was annoyed I was getting my hopes up again as he always has to deal with the aftermath!! I was clearly angry and spoiling for a fight so he kept well away which made me more annoyed!! Managed to avoid a massive fight coz I knew I was being hormonal but still ended up snapping for no reason. Had a good ol cry and felt a lot better the next day (Af turned up next day - I am such a stereotypical premenstrual woman!!!)

    We all just need some hugs and a good old cry sometimes....it releases all the tension!!
    (I've just had a cry this morning...relief from finally going to Drs and starting the ball rolling)

    So we went to Dr this morning and he was lovely. We both went in and explained everything. He said there's prob nothing to worry about but has referred us both for the normal tests - me a CD21 blood test and OH a SA. So my tests will be done on the 15th June and hopefully we'll get the results fairly soon after that.

    Doc said he knows its hard but to try not to let it take over our lives.....so I'm bowing out of this forum for a while or so to just see what happens.....OH is annoyed that I've become obsessed with research & this forum (as I do with everything) so I've agreed to take a step back and get on with non TTC things to take my mind off it for a while.:silenced:
    I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread and do my best not to sneak in again....its going to be hard going cold turkey:rotfl:

    Thanks for all the help & support and if when I get my BFP I will let you know.
    Best of luck to everyone for their BFPs.....I really hope we all get what we want very soon.
    :dance:
