I believe I am 14 DPO, and I refuse to test. (Or should I rephrase. . . I'm WAY TOO nervous to test) I'm on cd 37 today, and usually my cycles are 31-37 days. . . And still no AF. My symptoms are:
1. Cramping for two days. They feel very similar to AF cramps, but without the bloating feeling with it.
2. For the past couple of days, I've been nauseous.
3. My temp is running high. I took it today, and it was 98.9. My temp is usually low. I don't even know if a high temp is a sign?
So, each time I go to the bathroom, I am LITERALLY PRAYING that AF doesn't show up. If it still hasn't by Saturday, I will test then. That means I'll be about 18 dpo, so if I am, it will definitely show up.
Anyone else still waiting for their BFP? I know leighanne got hers this month. Baby dust to us all. :-D
I'm trying not to get over excited, but I'm really hoping it happens this month! I've been dreaming of babies each night. Good luck to you! Sounds like you'll be testing in a few days. How long do you plan on holding off until testing?
AF showed her ugly faceFace pain this past Sunday for me. DH and I decided last minute we'd try this month and we were a day late for ovulation apparently. I'm a littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys disappointed, but better luck next time. We hadn't planned on trying this month, but decided just to throw caution to the wind and see what happens. I'm on CD 3 so TWW will be here before I know it for this time around. Good luck to all that still haven't tested!!!!
Good luck to you next month! Because my cycles are so long, I feel pressurePressure ulcer each cycle to conceive, cause if I don't, it's another 5 weeks before I know. Frustrating. :-(
I am... I am 5-9 DPO (don't know EXACTLY when I ovulated because I have miscarried 2 times since nov. and AF is messed up). I really don't know if I am other than I have this cloudy mucus that is in abundance! Hope you are pregnant!!
I don't know all the "rules" for testig, but I tested the day before AF was even due.. I was having preggers symptoms and I just "knew." I got a BFP... I would take a test, but that's just me. I am super impatient! =)
I know what you mean... my cycle used to be 28-30 days, but for the last several months it has been longer (31,32,42 and now this month I didn't O until around CD 22.) It seems forever..... TONS OF BABY DUST YOUR WAY!
Well im 14dpo i did test earlier but negative,although i didnt hold my wee long enough,i need to pee every half hour,only to dribble,,sorry.today is cd14 for me my luteal phase is normally 13 days,so infact i was due af yesterday,i know i ovulated on cd20 as i chart so didnt o late.if your temp is high that is a good sign,..my only symptoms,are constant headaches,sicky feeling...sticky cm...keep thinking she coming,although to be honest as i tested today,she will probably show up tomorrow,i only have to look at a test,good luck everyone...my cycles range from 28 to 32 normally....
im due in one week. im not necassarily ttc because i am "going with the flow" but i would be sooo exited! i have some questionable body changes such as fatigue, a emotional blow-out yesterday (only lasted 15 minutes), and slight breast tenderness.
I am 4 DPO now.. I am have slight BB tenderness too..well, actually its my nips--sore to touch ?!?! I have never noticed this before... it started about 1 DPO. Is this normal, to have this soreness right after Oing?
hmm i dont know but thats how im feeling although it didnt happen that soon. maybe you ovulated sooner than you thought? some womens hormones start kicking up sooner than others i suppose. ive heard of women with twins who got extremely early symptoms
I am due for AF on Tuesday so I have 6 more days - ugh! Hate the wait! We have actually stopped ttc.... I can't take the pressure so it'll happen when it happens. Good luck to all!
I probably would get an accurate pregnancy test if I took one right now, but I am just soooooooooooooooooo scared of disappointment. So, I will keep praying each time I go to the bathroom that AF doesn't show up. And if it still hasn't shown up by Saturday, I'll test.
Funny story. . . I wake up today and have to go to the bathroom really bad. (as I do every morning really bad) and before going, I noticed I had a bad hangnail, so I cut it. I go to the bathroom, wipe (sorry, tmi!) and there is a teeny spot of blood. I freaked out and got all sad that my period had come, well, turns out, it was blood from my hangnail. Ha. Here are my current symptoms.
1. Tummy cramps on and off, but with no bloating.
2. Slight slight nausea. Almost gaggy, but I haven't thrown up, or gagged.
3. Body temp running high.
The high temp is a great sign. If you chart your BBT - you would see. Let me explain. (sorry if you already know). Immediately prior to ovualtion our body temp raises slightly. This is to prepare our body for the little one as they are better off in a slightly warmer environment (any where from .2 - 1 degrees). Prior to menustration (SP?) your body temp drops, b/c no conception has occured so no reason to keep high body temp. High temp remains if preggo. So high temp is a good thing. This temp change is caused by different hormones. I hope this helps. You have so much self control. If I were you I would test. I tested at 8 DPO and got a negative and then again at 11 dpo and got a faint positive. I then tested everyday after and saw the line getting darker and darker. Good luck and lots of babydust to ya!
Thanks so much for that info. I actually did not know how temp played into things. I just felt so warm yesterday, my skin that is, and decided to take my temp, and noticed it was warm. Unfortunately I didn't track all throughout this cycle, so I don't know if my temp has been warm since O'ing. I hope so though!
I don't even think my not testing is self-control. . . It's complete and total fear! Hee hee. :-D When I first started TCC, I went through probably around 10 HPT's, and each one was negative, and each time, it was just an awful and sad feeling. I have 1 test left, and I told myself that this would be the one. I really should just test. So so scared though. I just really want a baby with my hubby. He and I are both ready. Thanks for the good luck, and good luck to you during your pregnancy. :-D
Sounds promising for you! I had cramps the past two days. Swollen nipples. I have felt a little nauseated a few times too. Baby dust to you!!
I think I'll wait until after the 20th or so to test.
Anyway , i have put up a post & would like some replies if anyone has got any!!
Thankyou so much xxxx
Good luck and baby dust to all of you!
