It was also days earlier than AF has ever shown up. But I continued to see a little bit every time I used the bathroom from mid-afternoon until about 11pm. Of course, I hoped it was just implantation bleeding, but it went on for a while. There's nothing so far this morning, but I haven't been up for very long. I have no idea how many DPO I am because FF never gave me any crosshairs. So I'm still a tad bit hopeful, but I also won't be shocked if AF shows up today or tomorrow.

OOooo, how exciting! Eeeeeep!

I wish I knew everyones charts....I'm going to go search for them.

[Hesperia]

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Happy Monday!

Expected period is due on Friday - heres to a speedy week

I think you're right about me not ovulating, oceane. I'm pretty sure I didn't last cycle either. Now I'm fearing that I never have! (My ectopic pregnancy was in my ovary, so the egg never even left!) I've suspected for years that I have PCOS, but my father-in-law (a family doctor) and my primary care physician both laughed when I brought it up. I'm not overweight at all, so they don't think I have it, but I do have some of the other symptoms. Anyway, if next cycle looks anovulatory again, I'm going to go back to my doc and ask her to test me for PCOS. This is getting old! Also, I wish AF would just start for real. Yesterday I had orange-tinted CM with tiny amounts of blood in it from about 2-11 pm (same as Saturday). Today so far, nothing. I took a test this morning, so I could stop wondering and it was, of course, BFN. Come on AF! Just begin already!

[oceane]

I didn't mean to suggest any problem, becks, some anovulatory cycles are not uncommon! anyway, I hope you'll get either a bfp or a speedy AF and THEN bfp soon!

Ok, come on AF!
Try not to stress about the last cycle, put this one behind you.

If you have thought PCOS, I'd look into that further if you feel you should.

Huge hugs!

Thanks gals! Don't worry, oceane, it was nothing you said! I was worried already. I'm still in this weird limbo of not really bleeding, but occasionally having tinted CM. My DH is the best I could ever ask for, though, and I'm trying to just enjoy this time with him.

Your strength is contagious!

I'm spotting too, albeit a few days earlier than normal.

[Hesperia]

Still spotting, bright red (usually it is more brown this time of month).

Not sure what to think, I'm pretty sure I am out, but also in denial over it all. I'm holding onto a tiny fiber of hope that this in implantation....tiny tiny bit of hope.

[oceane]

: for you still, Hesperia!I hope you're not out!
my chart is in my profile. nothing exciting there, stupid ff wouldn't even give me crosshairs!


becks, I am actually scared of PCOS, too, because I always ovulate late. I don't really have any other symptom though... I hate speculating but I hate getting checked out, too.

gotta get back to my Mad Men marathon

Wow! Thank you!

oceane I feel your pain with the lack of crosshairs! I get so mad at ff, even though it's just a computer program.

AF showed up in full force today, so I'm on CD 1. While AF is always unwelcome, I'm happy that this cycle didn't drag on for 40 days like the last one did!

Thinking of you Hesperia!

I'm sorry this wasn't your cycle, but glad it didn't continue on for 40 days, what torture you must have felt last cycle!


Thank you for much for your support...spotting is very very light and turned brown. Heres to finding strength for the wait. Cramping/sore back has vanished.

Thank you for the support! TTC isn't for the faint of heart - really gets you set up for the emotional ride of motherhood hey!

[oceane]

becks, sorry you're out!

I have a tiny bit of a cold but if it stays the way it feels now I can deal with it. I hate few (minor) illnesses more than a beastly cold.

rooting for Hesperia and all the other vegans here!

I was watching the same marathon! Well, probably not at the exact same time because of the time change and all .

FF gave me crosshairs, its official. Timing sucked, so I am not hopeful. But at least I can move on to a more productive cycle. : oceane and Hesperia!

Hope you aren't getting too sick. I've been fighting off various colds for maybe 2 months now, a think a flu was tossed in there too. Eats lots of garlic. A midwife I follow on twitter told me about Thymus pounding, and I think it helped! Basically pounding your chest like an ape to...ummm....maybe a quick google would be better at explaining.

Fingers crossed for you!! I just looked at your chart. We must be feeling about the same way.

Can I be hopeful for you?
I'm horrible (really really horrible) at reading charts, so that helps.

actually Mad Men is not on TV in Germany but I rented Season 1 from the library (yes! to foreign language sections) so I'm way behind you I guess. but funny that it's on at the same time AND we both enjoy it!

I'll have to check your chart now.

If you are renting the dvd, you are definately ahead of me. I really like the show, but never watch it because its on too late at night. Last weekend they were having a marathon of last season I think, so it gave me an excuse to sit around and watch tv all day .

[oceane]

I'm on Season 1, episode 9!

any tips on what I can do make my breasts less sensitive and painful to movement during the 2ww? Can I change that with diet? and if so, how hard is that gonna be?
