Merry Christmas xxx
December 23, 2006
CD 30, 13 DPO, Cycle 20, Met Cycle 7, TTC #1 since May 7th 2005
Well Hello ladies,
sorry uit's taken me so long to write but I have just been so busy and haven't found the time or been too tired to write, so please forgive me
Well, in my last entry I said that I was having my Follicle tracking, that was on CD12, my Folly was at 14mm, same as last time but apparently my womb lining could have been better. On CD 14 I went back and my Folly was only at 17mm, 4mm under what it was this time last month, the good news was that my womb lining looked fine. Because of the weekend, I couldn't have another scan until CD18 which confirmed that the Follicle had burst and I think my womb lining was at 11mm. So judging my O pain etc, I think I O'd on CD17 although FF wanted to change my O date to CD18.
So, here I am at 13 dpo, 1 day over my AF due date, still no sign of AF, temperature still high! Last month, I knew that I O'd on CD16, so when my AF came, I knew that I could accurately say that my LP was 11 days, so yesterday for this cycle was my 11th LP day, so now I am one day over. Here is a list of my symptoms and signs so far:
Very Sore Boobies
Cold
Cold Sore developing
High temps still when usually they start dropping 3 days before AF
No pre AF spotting, which I usually get
Crvix is tightly shut
CM is white and creamy
Slight Nausea
Extremely emotional, one minute laughing, next i'm crying
Late AF
Longer than usual LP
Prominant veins on Boobies
Anyway, I think that's it, we will see. Nigel wont let me test yet and I am dying to. I am trying to hold out until Christmas day, but it is so hard.
So ladies, watch this space and hopefully I'll have some god news to send your way real soon.
As for other things that have been going on, there isn' much to report really. I went to my works Christmas do on Friday the 15th. It was a really good laugh and I ended up getting very very drunk! I haven't drunk alcohol in like a year, so it went to my head very easily. We ended up trying to find a takeaway that was still open at 12 midnight, but they were all shut, how stupid! I felt fine the next day, just tired and then on the Sunday I had the mother of all migraines, so that wasn;t so great.
I had my last day at work on Wednesday, it was meant to be Tuesday, but I had too much work to do. On thursday I went to stay with my best friend. She had been feeling emotional and worked out that she was 2 weeks late on her period, so had waitd for me to come and stay and we decided she would take the test in the morning. She did and it was an instant BFP.....Yay. I am so happy for her, she didn't even think she could have one baby let alone 2. She already has a Son who is delightful, so here is to another little brother or sister for him
It would be amazing if we could be preggers at the same time.
So that brings me to today where I'll be wrapping presents, visiting my MIL before she goes to my bro and sister in laws and generally just relaxing. Tonight we are off to my aunts for pre christmas drinks (not me, just incase). Then tomorrow I am going to my parents for Christmas eve and staying over until boxing day, where we will then go to my brother and sister in laws. It should all be good.
So Merry Christmas to all, Good luck to all, and Happy new Year to all,
Love Helen xxxxxxx
