Well, temps up still, so that's a good sign. (Usually stays up at this point though so I can't really read too much into it!

) But, I have been testing about an hour earlier than normal, and the temps I'm getting are on par with what I was getting last month, so theoretically they are higher than last month....maybe I'll try adjusting them and see what happens...
Have been having a few cramps or stabbing pains near my belly button, but whatever. Not all that unusual.
Skin is remarkably clear (2 months after I went off BCP my skin went nuts, and now, a month and a half later, it seems to be getting better...) so I like that, but watch, now, tomorrow I'll have spots again!

BBs have had a few pains in them deep inside, but not reading into that.
Am not bloated like I was last month at this point.
Extreme tiredness on Friday, Saturday, Monday. Not too bad yet today.
Neck cramp last week with headache (finally gone!)
Yesterday a back ache in upper/middle back started, still here. Neck a little sore, but sure that's from the back ache.

Just recording all this so I can look back either way...

So not much exciting in my life. Just working away until Sunday, and if my temps stay high, I will test. Tonight I get to go see my Granny, which is nice but can be draining as she is starting to lose her mind...so I hear the same stories multiple times in the same visit...oh well. I love her and don't know how long she will be here. I hope she gets to see the next generation...but we'll have to wait and see.

Well, after I adjusted my temps yesterday for getting up early, FF changed my O day from Dec 31st to Jan 1! Oh well, good timing either way. Just wish I knew for sure...but whatever.

So, went today to give blood (didn't fast before doctor's appointment as no one told me to!

) and lo and behold they want a urine sample too! I have a shy bladder and whenever I have to give urine for the doctor it doesn't matter how much I feel like I have to go, I never can....

...I guess drinking all this water helps! I had a glass of water and BOOM! PIAC no problem! I still hate doing it, but whatever.

I really don't have a lot of "symptoms" and all the ones I do I've had other cycles as well so it's really hard to read into any of them.

I am still tired, though not as bad as the weekend and Monday
Neck still very sore, back still a little sore
Headache, but I'm sure that's from the neck and back ache
had two little spots show up this morning, but they were under the skin not an actual pimple (IYKWIM?)
woke up in the middle of the night with sore abs, still there this morning
mild cramps from when I woke up to now
lots of gurgling going on down there below my belly button...
I guess the biggest one - my temps are still high, higher I think than they've ever been!

Don't really think they are anything, but I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed and if my temps stay up and don't fall for 2 days in a row, I am going to test Sunday. Here's hoping!

You sound like you got something good going on there

Sending some baby dust

I hope so, though we'll see what happens! I just want to head home...(I know, I really need to get some work done...just so very tired today...) Just seems so weird as I've had pretty much every "symptom" except a later period and a BFP over my cycles! I have my fingers and toes crossed though!

dakini · Jan 14th, 2008, 14:27 PM

Well, as you can see, it's on to another cycle. The

showed up some time last night. I am ok with that. I have also decided to take a little bit of a break from here. I'll still update my journal and check the messages, but this is starting to affect my job and my life. I have to just get my work done and try and get my life in order before I get pg. We'll see how long that lasts.

Staying away I mean. I will still check in and see who gets their BFPs, but I have to get some things in order in my life.

Today I am still very tired, and I think that's one of the reasons why I've made this decision. I was exhausted this weekend. And I have no idea why. Well, I should run for now. later!

Well, this has to be the shortest AF for me, ever.
Sorry if tmi...
Started with spotting (which never happens for me), then 2 days of heavy flow, 1 day of medium to spotting, and now just spotting...very odd. Usually at this point in my AF I'm still about medium flow, and then it would be tomorrow or Friday that the light to spotting would start, and finally stop either CD5 or 6...not sure what this means. Well, it means one thing at least - if I am only spotting for the rest of today, watch out hubby! (if we don't go for wings

)

Other than that, just feel a little bloated, but that could be from not working out enough and eating too much...and being quite tired today, but that could be from not getting enough sleep 2 nights ago and then sleeping poorly last night due to DH's snoring! (His idea of "rolling over" in his sleep is to turn his head to the other side...doesn't really stop him from snoring.)

So, just waiting to O and we'll see what happens. Soon it's back to the whole trying to

every 2-3 nights, even if DH doesn't know that's the plan!

I just convince him and it's all a go!

Well, been MIA for the past little while. Just wanted to give everyone an update.

Had some odd temps (if you adjusted them, they were high) and was constipated (never happens to me), odd period (light, short), skin not breaking out like it usually has been...so I PIAC on Sunday. As I suspected, BFN. But, it's looking like I am gearing up to O. And that should happen in the next few days. Feeling pretty good. A little silly about thinking i could be pg, but whatever. It was odd for me.

So, just trying to stay awake long enough to actually see and talk to my DH (the guys are over for D&D), and should only have about 20 minutes or so until they're done, so looking forward to that. Also trying to figure out why my neck and back are sore again. It's starting to drive me batty. It hurts a lot. Magnets back on tomorrow.

That's my update - waiting to O, and (currently) trying to stay awake.
