looking for TTC Friends #2
i posted and didn't know where it went the other posts are too full so i just made a continuation. I feel really ****** today I guess all weekend i feel like AF is coming my stomach hurts and ovaries my breast hurt not so much today though. The taste of toothpaste this morning almost killed me. Well let the countdown begin. AWEE sorry for AF. Ashort and Kurvi we are neck to neck. I don't want to test though i'm nervous. Why women have so many issues, thats why i want a boy! LOL Any symptoms update so far?
ltlyncutie: It's best to check your CM and use your kit every month because your ovulation day can change from month to month depending on stress, etc. It's your luteal phase (the phase after you ovulate) that remains consistent from month to month. So, for example, if your period is quite late one month but you aren't pregnant...that's a good indication that you ovulated later in the month.
By checking your temps, CM and temps every day...you can gather a more accurate understanding of your cycle. You will know when to expect your period, you will know if your temps are sky-rocketing or are triphasic (both of which are sometimes indications of pregnancy).
It's tough to go by symptoms alone because many early pregnancy symptoms are often quite similar to pms symptoms. For example, one of my friends always spots four days prior to the arrival of her AF. For me, my breasts usually hurt 1-2 weeks before AF. And I always have weird craving when I'm in the 2WW. That being said...Those symptoms can definitely be early pregnancy symptoms!! The spotting could be implantation bleeding and if your bb's don't normally hurt before AF...that could also be sign! Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I got my fingers crossed for ya asheighnb!!
I called to make a OB/GYN appiontment. They don't see girls till they are 10 weeks!! (seems like forever!) They don't u/s til 20 weeks, but since I'll be 35yo at delivery I'm going to Pittsburgh for an NT scan on March 7th(11wkd 3days) so I'll get to see him or her then!
I'm feelin pretty good except my bbs hurt so bad I have to sleep with a sports bra on. a lil nauseous but not bad.
It looks like TTC Friends # 3 is soon to come.

I don't know whats going on...Im on CD34 17dpo AF is usually here by 15dpo 31 day cycles, there is not any sign of her showing. Im so confused and lost, this is crazy!!

Well my symptoms are pretty much the same, I just wish I'd have super duper sore bbs!!! That was a definite sign with my last pregnancy...I don't know when to test....I guess if my temp doesn't drop by Friday morning I will buy a test and take it Saturday morning that would make me on CD 30... I don't think this is a BFP month for me, but I gotta hope :) I still have a lot of creamy CM...I kept thinking all day that I had started! I don't remember having this much CM right before AF is suppose to come. I have been urinating more too..BBs still feel heavy and are very slightly tender (not much) I've been a bit hungrier too..and I have been really tired!!! Who knows!!! This wait is driving me crazy! I'm so afraid that I will get a BFN. Well I will test Saturday, if my temp doesn't drop...
Good Luck Ashleigh and Toris!! I hope we all get our BFPs!!!
Good Luck Ashleigh and Toris!! I hope we all get our BFPs!!!
Forgot to mention that my bd drive is up too...the past 2 days...could I be o'ing on CD 9? I remember last Jan I had a 21 day cycle...which was really weird...this is so strange. I have OPK's if I could hold my urine for 3 hours I would take on LOL>>>
Hi girls! I'm glad to hear all the girls with the BFP are doing well!!!
Ashleigh...Test, please!!! Your symptoms sound great!
Lamb- I think I'm going to o on the 26th but that's only speculation. The past 2 months I have o'ed on CD19, which is the 26th. I'm taking antibiotics b/c I think I have a sinus infection. My strep test came out negative so that's what I'm guessing it is. Well today I had EWCM weird...don't know if it has anything to do with the antibiotics but I'm thinking about bd just in case. I know antibiotics can cause yeast infections but that's never happened to me before and I'm not in any pain...HMMMMM... Your doctor doesn't give you a sono until your 20 weeks? I just read that usually they do one to see the baby's HB.

Yes ashleigh I'm with lamb test tomorrow am. I'm excited to find out.
aweeone- don't give up this cycle. BD before you leave and when you get back. Remember sperm can live for 5-7 days near the cervix. Still give it a try.
ad_06- you symptoms look promising too.
toris- are you going to test tomorrow am too?
Well girls I went to the doctors today and he figured out my due date. September 15th and I'm in my 5week. I'm soo excited. I have a lot of pressure in my back/kidney area and around the front...I think it's gas pressure god knows I'm bloated like hell. Pretty nauseated right now. My spotting seems to be tapering off...more of a yellow color now. The doctor wants me to take it easy for a few days...kinda made me nervous. I just want this baby soo bad I pray every day that everything goes well and the little bean is developing normally. I got my blood drawn and urine sample today....the lab tech was like "oh don't worry it's not as much blood as it looks." Yeah right she took 6 vials...I had to close my eyes. I go soo queesy I thought I was going to end up on the floor. I am a nurse and blood doesn't generally bother me except getting my own blood drawn and watching it fill the vial...yuck!

LOL okay Lamb...If AF isn't here in the morning I promise I will test and stop making you girls wait!!!! Im so nervous though...ugh!!!
Ashleigh... You must be pregnant! That is awesome that your temps are so high! You should test to put my mind at rest. LOL.

It sounds like a great sign! Many BFP's do experience a dip in their temps, both implantation dips and slight dips around when af is due. When I'm near the tww end I always stalk other charts online to compare them to my own. I've seen these dips on many others. Anyways, if you post ovulation temps are staying up longer - past when AF is due - that's an awesome sign. Especially if they are rising! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Good luck. I can't wait to hear the news!
aweeone - This cycle I started temping on CD10, like I did last cycle because I was temping religiously for a few cycles so I know what my pattern is and so I start temping on CD10 just as I would if I were doing OPK's. I detected O on CD16 - CD 17 and at 11dpo my temp started falling like it always does. At 13dpo it dropped to 97.23 and I just knew AF was coming usually it never comes back up after that. But then CD14 it went up to 97.73 and same thing yesterday (CD15-which is usually AF day) and today on CD16 it was 97.88!! My coverline is 97.19. I hope this is a good sign!!!
hello all,
your symptoms all sound great! In answer to questions, I ovulate soon! I don't OPK but I do temp and check for CM. I pretty much always ovulate on CD13 and all the signs are there for me to be ovulating this Friday. Unfortunately, I leave tonight for a gig out of town and won't be home till late Saturday. So I'm out this month. It sucks! After this month, I only have Feb. and March to give it a shot b/c then I've got gigs lined up all the way until June and now it's looking like I'll be away until August! So much for ttc! Sometimes I hate my career. Anyways, I'll keep checking in to see how you ladies are doing. I want to hear all the great details.
ashleigh - do you normally temp? maybe i've already asked you this? but your af won't be delayed b/c of stress, ONLY your O can be delayed b/c of stress. Pretty much everyone (unless you're a freak like me) has a standard luteal phase. And if you make it to 18dpo - that's pretty much a good sign that you're preggo! So I'm rooting for you!
toris - I hope that your temps stay up! I'm getting nervous for you - you're getting so close now. What exactly is an HSG, I've read lots of good things about it on this forum but don't really understand what it is. If this isn't your cycle, I hope the HSG kicks a** next cycle!
ad_06- yeah! for temperatures staying up.
ltlyn - keep us updated! like the ladies said, your levels might be low b/c you detected pregnancy early on.

My temps didn't go down but I woke up early and tossed and turned so I think that affected my reading. If I see that my temp remains the same tomorrow (which I doubt it will) I am going to probably test on Friday. I am getting so nervous. I guess the good thing about this is that if this cycle is a bust I get to have my HSG done and my DH's SA. I am trying to look at the brighter side of things. They say conception is increased a little right after you have an HSG.
ashleigh- everything looks and sounds good on your end. Stay away you old hag.
itly- So sorry that you recieved that news but just like ash said you may have a younger bean than you thought.
ad_06-so glad the temps stayed up.

Kurvi- You're lucky.... my doctor wont even consider an ultrasound until your 20 weeks, unless there is something wrong. So, you dont have any symptoms? Oh trust me... I am sure they will come. LOL. I am peeing all the time. I woke up lastnight with bladder cramping bc I had to pee so bad. And I had already woken up 3 times lastnight to pee. This is crazy! LOL. But its for a good cause.
Ashleigh- You're getting so close to your BFP!!! I can't believe that you have been able to hold off and not test this far. LOL. You are definitely a strong woman!
Torismommy- When do you plan on testing? Are you going to do it this weekend with Ashleigh? That would be awesome! Do you have any symptoms?
ad_06- Same to you... When do you plan on testing? HOw are you feeling this morning? Hopefully you have some big BFP symptoms!
Aweeonetolove and Ashort- When do you ladies expect to Ovulate? Are you both using OPK's? I really hope this will be it for you ladies! You both deserve this so much!! I am rooting for you!
Well, I have to go get ready to go to class. I will be back later. Good luck and tell AF to stay the hell away!

hey girls, hope all of ur doing fine. First of all I want to congratulate all the BFPs!!! I am sure with so much SSBD floating around, everyone else in the forum will soon report a BFP!! I went to my RE on monday, I told him I took 2 HPTs and they came out positive and I guess he believed me. he did not ask for a retest, he just congratulated me and asked me to meet on jan 30 for the U/S. I still dont have any feeling and am just waiting and waiting for 30th jan. all the best to all you lovely ladies.
Hey ladies how is everyone? Sore bbs this morning and frequent urination!! I never thought I would be so excited to feel like sh*t!! LOL!!!
ad_06 - my temp is still up today too!!! yesterday it was 97.73 and today 97.88 so they are actually rising instead of dropping. I thought AF was destined to be here a few days ago because my temps dropped to 97.2 and for me that usually means AF. I am still waiting until Saturday to test because I have been a little stressed lately so I just want to make sure that its not the stress delaying AF. Good luck to you too!!! I hope we get our BFPs!!!

Thanks girls! Temps are still high 98.7!! I am on CD 27 and I don't know when to test.....My Dr. said tht with clomid AF would be here in 28 -34 days, should I test aound CD 29 -30...with a 5 day sooner test? Good Luck Ashleigh I hope you get your BFP! Eveyone keep your fingers crossed for us still in the wait :) please
Ashleigh your sore bbs sound great LOL. I really hope you get your BFP! Good luck! I am kind of going through the same thing right now... with the non-stop ness. DF says I need to relax and take it easy. LOL.
ad_ 06- I was really achy and crampy down there too right before I got my BFP! I hope you get yours too!
Ziggy- Maybe high quality positive meant that it was really dark and visible! Like there was no mistaking it. LOL. I took my last HPT this morning and there was no mistaking that one. It is so weird.... compared to my last one... the line was barely there and in a matter of 4 days it became DARK. lol.
I had my first wave of nausea this morning. I have also been crying a lot. This is funny- I walked in from class this afternoon and DF was cleaning. He was busy and didn't really say much to me and I started crying. LOL.
Now I see the importance of quitting smoking before you concieve. It is hard to quit cold turkey! I have been doing good though! I have had 1 at the most a day lately. I will be done soon and that makes me feel great. Knowing that I am stopping that disgusting habit for two great reasons... my own health and my childs health.
Well, this fatigue has taken me over. I will be back tomorrow. Good luck everyone still in the 2WW!

Well the day is almost over and no AF. One day down and one to go before I will test!!!! Im kind of getting excited but dont want to look too much into it yet. My mom asked me if I was nesting or something because I have been non-stop for the past two days. She said that after I found out I was preggo last time and I started cleaning everything and couldn't sit still. I hope that is a good sign!! My bbs are slightly sore again too!
ziggy - they didn't tell you what high quality positive means. When I read your post I was like what the hell it that?? LOL
ad_06 - don't give up yet, your still in the running until AF is full force. Hopefull you temps don't drop. Good luck girly!!

well I think that b*tch is going to show her face!! I might be wrong, but I seriously don't think this is my month! I am on CD 26...I'm either 10 or 12 DPO....my temps are still up, but usually when AF is going to come I get kind of achy down there if you know what I mean. Here within the past hour I have been kind of achy...so I guess I'm not going to test atleast until the weekend! I'll wait and see if I have a temperature shift, usually it will drop the same day or the day before AF shows up... I'll keep everyone posted.Congrats to all of the BFPers and Good Luck to the rest in the 2ww!
