 I don't believe it!
I had spotting of a sort yesterday (TMI - red streaks in CM) which for me, 100% of the time, would have resulted in actual bleeding by late afternoon, during the night at the latest. Except, nothing. Nada. Zip. Not a sausage. And today, the CM is back, with another random streak! It's teasing me! It knows I want to start IVF and it's having me on 
I've had some cramping, and a backache most of yesterday, and I had the usual upset stomach yesterday ... everything as it should be, except no bleeding. I even wore a yellow skirt today!  (I normally stick to black, but I was invoking Murphy's law).
So, I've decided to do a post whinging that it's not here, so that it turns up and makes me look like a Noddy! 
I think I'm probably screwed for today being day 1 though. Bugger. Now that they've given me the go ahead for right now, I don't want to wait another day!!  ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Grrrrr! Damn that Murphy!
Maybe plan a romantic evening for tonight? My AF always decides to turn up when I'm shaved and waxed and ready to go. And if that plan fails, sex often brings it on as well! Come on AF!!!!!! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

There is no progress other than the streaking, so I just phoned the clinic to tell them what's going on. They're in favour of a pregnancy test. I am not. I wish I was so lucky! Methinks it is more likely a physical consequence of an enormous step. I'd rather spend the $20 on a book
nzpiper - I say we give them the bash when they turn up!
(CaraMel - I tried that!  I took the dogs for a nice long walk and then ... ahem. Zippo! )------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

I get a few days of spotting before the actual event. Nice for the notice but a pain in the arse when you just want it to hurry up and start!!
If you were pregnant I would giggle A LOT! |

| Eek, did that sound mean? I didn't mean it to... I just meant it would be Murphy being totally HILARIOUS. |

Not mean Nikki  I guess it would be funny - when the nurse asked me, she sounded like she was hiding under the desk as she said it and sounded relieved when I laughed at her
I'm sure that this time tomorrow, or the day after all will be well. I'm getting grumpy though because timing-wise I'm heading into injection-teach over easter. Blah!! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

| Oh ginger I am so sorry that AF is being a pain in the.....bottom. (lol) I am sure these sorts of things just do it so that they (the imaginary AF invisable people of course) can just laugh at our obsessive behaviour. Man is sux being a girl sometimes (actually quite alot of the time when I really think about it.) hang in there. |

GOod call GandT - I don't want your hurry up vibes!
How about I send you some of mine? More walking, a bit of jumping up and down and then giving in to a good old fashioned grump-fest and it's finally arrived!
Tomorrow is day 1 of our IVF cycle

Hey so long as it's here before the weekend, right? Can I have a giggle if it properly arrives on Saturday? I'd gladly send you my horrible one in your direction but that's not as kind as it sounds! -------------  |
