My temperature is still high, up on yesterday. The last 4 days (incl this morning) temps go - 37.0, 36.7, 36.8, 37.0. 37.0 is the highest temp I've ever had, so I'll see what tomorow brings. In theory I won't start bleeding today with a temp like that ...and you have *no* idea how much I wish I'd charted this month! My temp on the morning of AF is usually around 36.3.
My cervix is still really high, and *does* feel like lips, not nose. Though, in saying that, I don't have mucus in adundance. Last night, I really felt like AF was on it's way - but I don't know how to describe the 'cramps' because they didn't feel like cramps as such. My back is killing me but my boobs aren't hurting any more. I didn't test this morning - I'd rather see blood when I go to the loo than another BFN. But I'll go to the pharmacy today and get a First Response test if I can. And now, we wait. ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

OK, this is killing me!!!
If AF does show up, I would say a trip/letter to specialist is in order and hopefully they can work something out. Keeping everything crossed (which incidently is making it very hard to do much  )------------- ">

Hey Ginger - how are you holding up? You're doing really well at keeping us all in suspense - now didn't i tell you this would be your year! Really hoping it is and you're about to get a positive result....remember some people (including me) don't get a positive for a couple of days after AF is due...

Geez people ...I thought *I* was a wreck!
I'm going to feel like a complete nong when AF arrives, I really am  I know a lot of you have been pg, and felt like AF was coming, but in my heart I think tomorrow morning I'll get the temp drop I've been waiting for.
I promise you though, tomorrow morning if I haven't got a temp drop to report, I'll do another test. I couldn't get First Response though - I got a Discover instead. I want this so, so much - I feel like I'm going to dissolve in a puddle any minute. I said to DH today that if we are pregnant now, our baby would be due just a few days off our 6th wedding anniversary. Please, please, *please* everyone keep everything crossed for us! I keep telling myself that I can't know until AF arrives, and that there is hope. Oh, and Paws? Every time I see that damn ticker, I want pie 
And now, I'm going to go and do stuff to keep me occupied! Thanks for keeping me (semi) sane gals ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

I want this so, so, so much for you Ginger, and if you report a BFP, I would be tempted to drive across Auckland to give you a huge hug (but a gentle one too!).
Everything still crossed, and still no AF is a good sign. And yes, Paws, I want pie, or a cupcake! ------------- ">
|
Posted By: ginger
Date Posted: 28 January 2007 at 4:44pm
|
Mmmm ...cup cakes!!
And after all that, I caved and tested. Absolutely a BFN. I used the Discover, which in theory will give you a result 4 days before your period, and there wasn't even a *hint* of a second line. So, I'll keep you all posted on AF and I'm really a bit embarrassed about getting everyone so worked up  ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Miss got a BFN on that test too ginger when she tested on due date, and she is pregnant.
I hope that you are pregnant and continue to have everything crossed for you. And believe me you have no reason to be embarrassed at all, remember I did 4 tests before I believed it (and just to embarrass myself, I did one when I was about 7 weeks pregnant as the ones I did early were so faint I felt cheated so wanted to get a real positive result )

I'd wanna send up a congratulatory bottle of wine... oh wait, make that sparkling grapejuice. Otherwise your DH will get it all (unless you're like me and store it in the cupboard for 9 months! )
I tested 3 times for a BFP with #3... we've all been there! And Ginger, you know we're all hoping for you!------------- |

I used about 6 tests I think - and it wasn't till 17dpo and one of the cheaper ones that I got the BFP. Sarah Beth is right - that discover one was useless, that is the one I mentioned on the last thread giving me a negative though my levels were over 50.
So it ain't over till it is over! Don't trust the tests! -------------

Well I tested at 9 weeks after I had spotting and spent ages scrutinising the test and comparing it to an earlier test to see if the line was darker, and worried that it wasn't...

Hey ho chicky babes!
Sorry to keep you all waiting for news!
I got the dreaded temp drop this morning (but hey, deep down we all *knew* that was going to happen ...I'm sad, but not surprised), and AF has since arrived. Needless to say, I went shopping this morning! It's ginger's miracle cure for what ails ya!
Thanks so much for all your love, support and caring in the last few days. It means a huge amount to me, and it's you guys that make this wait a little easier, month by month. Thank you!! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Hehe. That's the spirit!! I bought a pair of black pants, a tee, and a skirt - $530 worth (gotta love Newmarket designer stores!) that I got for $200 on sale [does a little victory dance]. And this afternoon I am going to turf everything out of my wardrobe, have a very good clean out and make a list of needs [ahem] for winter Methinks that the length of the list may be directly proportionate to AF misery, but nevermind. DH isn't anywhere to worry about it - he's busy hiding under the coffee table and giving me everything I demand in order to stay alive
Oh, and I also bought a little pair of bright pink All Star basket ball boot sneakers for our little neighbour's birthday (from Trelise Cooper Kids ...OUCH!). Super dooper cute! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Oh, and you're quite right about tricky body miss! Even with the temp drop this morning, my cervix stayed high and super soft. Stupid broken girly bits! Still, if it isn't going to help me, it's one less thing to pay attention to so I can forget about it this cycle!

Your purchases however sound really really cool - I totally love shopping in Newmarket but it will be a while before hubby will allow me to indulge again or let me loose in NM.
