Question LA Mom?

Well? Any good news yet this a.m.? I'm heading out of town for the weekend, so I wanted to take a peek in before leaving.

Everything's crossed for you!

not so good either.......

Carolina,

Thanks for asking. I'm pretty sure that I'm out........

Believe it or not, I didn't test this morning......I got really busy getting everyone out the door today and realized that I forgot to test with the f.m.u.

Then, about 30 mins ago, I had some major "spotting" start up! So, I'm thinking that it is AF coming. Cramping pretty good now too.

oh, joy.

Another one bites the dust.......

I guess it's not 100% negative.....but, it is sure feeling that way.

Have a good weekend. We all can look forward to next month together, or next cycle??

Thanks for hanging in there with me, though!

Boo, hiss!!! I am so bummed for you. :-( Do you normally spot pre-AF? Are you normally crampy pre-AF? I'm grabbing at all straws here for you, LA! Maybe I'll return on Sunday to a totally different post from you ... hang in there.

Big Hugs,
CarolinaGirl

Thanks for being bummed with me. You are so sweet. "Boo, Hiss" is a good way to put it......exactly my sentiments. I definitely "get" the straw grasping, that is the story of my life! LOL! We ARE alot alike!

I usually do spot, pre-AF, but I usually don't cramp like this......It has almost a constant grip on me......

Now I'm at work and trying to focus on other things......and, that cramping just keeps reminding me, hurting me and taunting me!!!

Grrrrrrr! And, besides all that, it's an absolutely beautiful Friday in Louisiana today! What a day to feel so rotten!

Thanks again for the positive words....!

Well, it's not just light spotting. It's the real thing.....AF!

So, nothing positive coming from this "camp"

Good luck to everyone else.....!

Go, Beth!!!

Thanks for all the support! You ladies are awesome!!!!

LAMom- I am so sorry!! The witch making an appearance for Halloween, apparently....

Your positive attitude is so infectious though - you're the best.

Carolina, Jersey, Maura and JAS:

Thanks! You all are great!

I keep trying to stay positive through it all......but, even when the spotting started, I was still so hoping that it wasn't the "real AF". KWIM? It really has been lighter than normal for me, but it's still AF. Do you think the progesterone that I'm on could've caused the change in flow???(I only had one progesterone left, so I went ahead and took it yesterday, even though it looked like it wasn't needed.......)

Thanks again.......

Maybe next month......

LAMOM, For me, temps are the definite decider. I have had soo many light periods that it seemed impossible to be AF, but I always take my temps and if it falls, and stays low, than I know it is the real thing. Progesterone never affected my flow, seems nothing could stop the witch. For me, my age has made my periods different. It amazes me how hope never wants to give up, there are so many stories on this board of miracles when people thought it would never be, so never give ups I guess. HUGS, JAS
