I'm Currently Feeling: | when do you class yourself as 'obsessive'? I am asking this question, as only being on cycle 3 ttc, I dont class myself as obsessive as yet...but, I think I am close....
I nipped to the shop earlier for some essentials and stood looking at the loo rolls to see which colour would show up more cm
I mean, on white..its harder to see especially if cm is clear..i decided on a nice shade of sky blue..   
Am i officially 'obsessed' yet? |

I'm Currently Feeling: |  I haven't thought of the loo roll one yet!
I would say I'm definately obsessed though. I know temping only works if you do it first thing in the mornig but I continue to take it everytime I go to the loo just to see how it changes. I would say at least 5-6 times a day
Also, I never thought I'd see the day when I would search for my cervix once a day!
ETA: I have left my positive ov stick on the side in the bathroom as some sort of trophy! |

lol Possibly!! But its only harmless fun to keep our minds occupied until we get our  We all have our secrets, whether it's testing 14 times a day or co-ordinating our loo roll with cm!! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think being too obsessed only becomes a problem once it starts getting in the way of living your live- we all have one outside of ttc, well, try to anyway, lol!
If it doesnt interfer or get you down, then what the heck- it's just determination otherwise, lol!!
God luck, babe! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I change to dark coloured underware a few days before O....LOL
then switch to light so I can see implant bleed......
I make a cone out of toilet paper to check for the above mentioned as well...
I have seen a novelty "black" toilet paper...hahahahaha Now that you gave me the idea..I am going to go get some!! btu forget where i saw it.
I am only on cycle 4 maybe..but a few cycles back I was googeling symptoms 3 days past O, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, ect .you get the point..
I am NOT doing that this time..I was going crazy....I have written down all my symptoms for each cycle so now i know I always get cramps week of ovulatiion....I am always bitchy...I have alwasy had blue veining on boobs..LOL
so I have no reason to look it up...haha or so I thought...
I had a pinching sensation on Sunday cd15 ( I used to feel Ovulation every month, not so much now)...and have been naseaus (spelling?)for the last 3 days...
okay body........what are you trying to do to me?????  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | When your hubby refers to the other B&B gals as "the girls" as in, how long were you on the computer with the girls last night, that may make you a little obsessive, at least about B&B.
I can so relate to the dark underoos!! Did it! As for the TP color, not that far yet.
I take my temp when I get up and if it is even 2 minutes before my normal time, I take it again at the right time, just to see.
I will google every twitch from about 5DPO untill AF shows up or I get a BFP from one of the 75 tests I will perform before then.
I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, would you? |

I know my luteal phase is too short and my cycles irregular so im past the point of being excited every month now or thinking we are in with a chance realistically, we keep trying and im not upset etc when AF arrives just dissappointed. Waiting to see a consultant on the 17th July which has given me hope so i think i definately was obsessive around cycles 4-7 but its lessened now plus i have a diferent job which keeps me far busier than before aswell x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | awwww thanks girls, I was really beginning to think I was losing the plot!
I even have my best mate watching her cm to see if its different to mine, as her  arrived day before mine. She gives me updates throughout the day too...I cant wait for the next installment!!  I dont know if its relevant though as shes been sterilised!
snowball- I check my cervix too, so i know where your coming from on that one hun.
Chillbilly- I never thought of the coloured underwear..my gosh how did that one get past me! |
