Well, at the same time, you very well COULD be high!
Do you know I did the SAME THING TOO?!
I have a basal thermometer already and I wanted to check it out......it's so ridiculous though because I knew all of the stuff that I wrote you about, above, already! I'm just so desperate to KNOW what is going on! I think we're both in the exact same place, psychologically. It's rough. It's like being a child and someone dangling the prospect of Disneyland in front of your face. It's too much.
I can't stand this wait, I can't stand it!!!!
No, no new symptoms necessarily, but I can't get over how BLOATED I am!! I've been walking around all day today with my pants unzipped!! And yesterday and today, I really haven't been eating THAT much more than usual, I don't think.
Oh man, seriously, this is torture. This is torture!! I can't believe we have to wait this long!!

Yeah, totally: Well, that's exactly what I'm attempting to do! I'm decreasing these things bit by bit.....so not ONLY do we have the regular anxiety of the 2WW to deal with, but I also have, well, THAT. Fun, huh?! ;)
Anyhow, I do know a LITTLE about the basal temps and basically, that temp you got is invalid. The reason is is that it only counts if you have the thermometer RIGHT by or ON your bed and grab it and pop it into your mouth RIGHT away, FIRST thing in the morning before you move a muscle! Seriously! It's pretty gnarley! So you can't get up to pee, you can't sit up...I mean really, not a muscle! The temp needs to be your body completely at rest. And it needs to be done every single day, at the same time every day!
Then you basically just graph that temperature on a chart every single day! So the best thing to do would be to go through a whole cycle to see what your temp is doing from day to day and that way you can work out your likely fertile days!
Here are some links for you:

http://www.babypartner.com/tools/fertility-and-conception/charts/basal-body-temperature-chart.php
That last and third link, you have to scroll down all the way to read the whole thing. Like I said, it's gnarley! But it's kind of cool cause of the amount of information you accrue about your cycle!! You get to know your body verrrryyyy well, going through all this! ;)
Also, I think on THIS site medhelp.org there's information on it, I'm sure! I think I saw something yesterday.
Amazing stuff, isn't it?! Men have it way too easy.

Oh THE MOST BABY DUST EVAH back at you!!!  ;)

Oh by the way, I have my own issues, if it makes you feel any better, things that I haven't mentioned on this site at all: 1.) I'm trying to quit coffee AND 2.) Trying to quit Nicotine Gum! I quit smoking a while ago and the Nicotine Gum is actually almost MORE difficult to quit than smoking!
This is where the guilt comes in, because those two things right there are yet two more logical reasons why it would've been "smarter" to wait on trying...and in those two things, I feel a little selfish. It's hard. It's just hard. And it's incredibly hard not to feel guilty. I'm tracking in a notebook how much I consume of each, every day. Today I had a small, silly-sounding "win" because I delayed the amount of my next piece of "Gum" by a longer amount of time than I have been able to do so far. But ideally, I would really, really like to stop BOTH, COMPLETELY the minute I find out I'm pregnant!! So I'm aiming for that......uuuuuuugggg...

Wow, sorry, that message was full of typos!
Anyway, I just want you to make sure that that pain is nothing you have to WORRY about! That maybe it's something that you can even ENJOY as a possible symptom! I just think it's better to rule it OUT, you know?

Aaaahhhh! Wow! I think you should, at minimum, call your doctor!
I don't have cysts...onlu in my breasts, as far as I know...but I have experience with them with family....
Yeah, I would call me doctor if I were you and just explain what's going on w/your cycle, you're sort of trying and then explain the pain!

I know man! I know!! The patience thing is killing me. I am by nature, not very patient when I'm excited about something.....let alone THIS.
Oy.
Anyway, that shooting pain sounds intense! I'm SURE you're not imagining it. Do you have cysts, at all? (Not wanting to freak you out, but just trying to think of things to rule out)...

I actually just had the bad shooting pain in my ovary again... its very painful, I curl up in a ball when it happens and it goes away and then comes back a few seconds later. I have never had this before, and I know this is one of the symptoms that are not in my head. I am very small too im on 4"11 3/4's .. almost 5 foot! but I stopped growing in 7th grade so I doubt I'll get any taller lol. I would like to test probaby the day AF is due if I can wait that long but I doubt I will.. maybe a day or two before.

Omg, I think we have the same symptoms!! I have the nausea....no vomitting yet....and pain in ovaries...other random pains in my uterus and in my left thigh (?!)
I also am hot ALL the time!! Especially at night and that's very strange for me...I'm the first person to freeze! I am very small and the cold gets me, very easily, so that's odd.
And with the night sweats last night....again, with the heat! And it was pretty chilly during the night last night, apparently!!
What else?....sudden, strange headaches yesterday and, wow, as I'm typing this (the power of suggestion perhaps?;)
Oh, I already said I'm eating like a horse and yeah, no breast soreness for me yet either.
When I was pregnant at 21, that was one of the key things that happened; I had huge, very sore breasts and the most distinctive thing were the extremely pronounced VEINS in my breasts! But that occurred way later than where you and I are in our cycles, #1 and #2, every pregnancy is different! I'm sure you know that. But even for me, I could have had certain symptoms in that first pregnancy that I may not have at ALL in this one! So take heart in that.
I also had some white CM yesterday! Not the usual, clear, eggwhite CM that I had been having over all of last week. So that's interesting.
I WISH I had the patience and brainpower to do the basal temp readings! And same thing for cervical positions! But honestly, I'm too lazy for that. I've only managed to check my CM (not religiously) and do my OPK's. So there you go!
I figure that my AF is due on 3/21 or 3/22 so if I wait until 3/24, that would put my AF about a day or two late....so may test on 3/24...and that's me showing incredible RESTRAINT!!! If I had it my way, I'd probably do a test next WEEK! But that would just put me in even more of a roller coaster so I'm going to TRY not to do that to myself!
When are you testing exactly, do you think??

No offense taken! I'll be commenting day and night with what I think are symptoms so beware haha the only thing i have had is i am hott all the time! i havent check my BBT but i know its  high i can feel it. and i have thrown up once.. but im not sure if that i was morning sickness or a stomach bug.. today i was nauseous again, it came on very sudden.. i ran to the bathroom and gaged only but did not throw up. ive also had cramping diff from AF cramps and a sharp shooting pain in my right ovary.. my boobs are not sore at all. i think i covered everything! lol what day are you going to test?

HA!!!! That's AMAZING!!! Your mom is a very wise woman!  ;)
WOW, you even have a spare bedroom?? I am totally jealous....I would be going CRAZY with that! Maybe it's good we haven't moved yet....otherwise I'd be in interior designer mode right about now.  ;)
I am so glad we found each other too!! Thank god!
We can just go crazy together!! Ya know, my boyfriend is happy, nervous, excited, etc., but not as expressive about it and the poor guy isn't living in my body like I am so he obviously doesn't have the kind of neurosis and anxiety that I do! So, I'm just really glad that I found someone who DOES (no offense!)  ;>
YAY!

Oh totally! Yeah, I completely get that. We were TRYING to be sensible and were going to wait to start trying until we got the move done and were actually LIVING together and then both of us one night this month decided on a whim that we wanted to get this thing going!! ;)
But you're young! You have tons of time and it's up to you completely....my mother always used to tell me that there is NEVER a good time to have a baby! So you may as well have one whenever the mood strikes, basically.  ;)  But what you said makes sense....tell me about it!...I have been looking for a job since my mother died and have had zero luck. The boyfriend fortunately, is in good shape financially, but otherwise I'm the one who's drowning!
And the tiring/stress factor?! Are you kidding about being the only one?! That's the WHOLE reason why I joined this forum because EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING my body does suddenly takes on this great significance and in my mind I'm totally pregnant!!! The last two days my sense of smell is really noticeably increased....I'm eating like a horse and have very bad gas (charming!) Today's symptom is night sweats! Last night, I woke up several times, including when I finally woke up this morning, just DRENCHED in sweat!! Drenched! Soaking sheets, pillow, etc.....And so I'm wondering if THAT is a possible symptom!! I'm making myself nuts! And tiring: TOTALLY! My bf's common complaint in our relationship is that we're not having enough sex and NOW, we're both so tired and have had some not-so-great nights....phew, it's exhausting!
But yes, despite all of that, I'm going to keep trying. Next month, the month after, etc. And unlike you, I'm NOT so young. ;) I'm 33 and the bf is 36 so that's another reason why we're hellbent on getting this done NOW!  ;)
I'm just of the belief that you should follow your instincts, completely. If now doesn't seem like the right time, then by all means just wait!
If it DOES however, you guys can make it work! Necessity kicks things into action, you know? Just follow whatever you guys feel about it....
And yeah, I realized that I have been fantasizing about an "accident" happening for some time now. Amazing. When I was 21 (12 years ago), I was in a relationship that wasn't so great and I was very unstable at the time, etc. and I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. At that time, I was planning on getting an abortion but it was agonizing because I secretly LOVED the way that I felt! Physically, I felt amazing! And emotionally, I felt powerful; that's the only way I can describe it.
And so now, I'm a nervous wreck. I don't want another miscarriage. It's been a long time so I'm hoping that my unhealthy habits then have long since stopped wreaking havoc on my body. It's just very stressful. It's hard to imagine having another loss after all of the losses I've had to go through over the last few years. But, I finally decided that it's worth the risk. Just very stressful!
So I'm completely with you on all of that!
Even though you decided you're not going to actively keep trying after this month, if you WERE to be pregnant THIS month, how do you think you'll feel about it?? It's so hard to anticipate what you'll feel until you actually experience it, but still....how do you think you will feel?

im very sorry to hear about your mother.. :( and im here if u ever want to talk about  anything!!  and dont worry about the long story i like to listen!  are you guys going to continue to try and conceive? if im not pregnant this month i think me and the boyfriend (billy) are going to stop trying and just let things happens.  ive only been doin it for about a month, and it is verrry tiring!!! and it drives you crazzy. every little symptom you have you make yourself think your preg. well at least i do! maybe im the only crazy one! me and billy live together thats not an issue we are actually planning on gettin engaged very soon, but thats all i know he wont tell me anymore details! he wants it to be a surprise. lol but besides that he works in the union as an iron worker and makes a good amount of money, however last summer he got hurt and couldnt work and now that he was able to go back there are no jobs bc the ecomony is so bad! he works  now taking car part orders for napa in a warehouse which he hates and is only temporary until he can wait at the hall for a union job to come along... i work as a bartender and make decent money and i go to college for psychology! so our  money at this moment is not the best as it was alot better in recent times.. so we r thinking of maybe waiting until the economy can pick up again so there are more jobs in the union and then we can start trying again.. but  i secretly wish that an accident will happen along the way. :) so we will see what happens this month!

No way!!
Your story is nearly identical to mine!!
O.k., nearly the same, damn thing, here goes: Basically, my mother who I lived with, suffered from Multiple Sclerosis for the last (almost) 40 years, and because that wasn't enough physical pain for her apparently she somehow acquired Multiple Myeloma last year...MM is a rare form of blood cancer that manifests itself in the bones. In any case, I was already taking care of her and it escalated and I quit my job over a year ago and became her full time "nurse" basically. She passed away on Nov. 1st and I miss her more than anything I've ever experienced.
So, during all of this, I actually thought that I was practically baby-phobic! I think I had talked myself INTO not wanting one because while she was alive, how in the hell could I possibly care for a baby, as well?! Meanwhile, my boyfriend is the one who desperately wants us to have kids!! I've spent the last two years talking him OUT OF that idea and trying to talk him into getting a really great DOG!!!  ;)
Fast forward to February!....We don't use any kind of birth control, we're just very careful with our days...so it basically means that there's always a tiny possibility that an "accident" could happen! And February, my period was 5 days LATE and same EXACT thing as you: I started REALLY believing I could be pregnant!! I brought it up to Anthony (bf) and he was literally like "Cool! We can afford that!" Oh, and did I mention that we're set to move IN with each other in the next month or two?? Yeah, no stress there.
So needless to say, AF came and HIS disappointment didn't surprise me but MINE DID!!! I was completely BUMMED! And all of the sudden it hit my like a hundred-pound-brick: I have been suppressing this urge for a baby for a long time because I HAD to! I didn't HAVE to anymore! And I suddenly realized that I wanted a baby more than ANYTHING!!! It was shocking!! So, we decided not to be victims to my menstrual cycle anymore and just go for it! I get asked all the time why we aren't married and to be honest, I like our lack of "convention"....I like that we're weirdly starting this whole project while trying to move in together!! Basically, I like that we're completely strange, in a way... ;)  Anthony and I started dating 11 years ago for just 6 months or so. We broke up and then became best friends for the next 8 years! We even were roommates for a year or so at one point! And then all of the sudden, two years ago, it all changed and I realized I was in love with him and that he had been waiting for me to come around! So I feel that because of our history, he's practically my husband anyway and we've been together for so long, we're more stable than most MARRIED couples I know!!  ;)
Anyway, that is my way-WAY-too-long story! So sorry for that, krey!!

I'm the same way!!! lol my boyfriend says dont get yourself all excited bc what if it doesnt happen!! and I say oh I wont I wont... but I know I do i cant help it. its weird its like you get attached to something thats not even there! and then af shows lol.. this is really only our 2nd month.. this is how it all started.. we have been talking about it for a while now.. prob since nov... and I just wasnt ready then, but he was. Then in jan.. we had a little slip up on new years eve!! so i took the plan b pill... low and behold, i made myself believe i was preg ( our mind plays tricks on us) and i thought "well maybe it wouldnt be that bad"so i convinced myself that i was, and the af showed.. and i tuened out that i was disapointed. then last month we didnt "try" persay but he didnt try not too!! and af showed. :( and i was upset.. so this month i joined the ttc forum... and we actually tried i guess you can say.. having sex while i was Oing... so we will see what happens.. !!! whats your story?
