If it helps any, many women lie and say its a woops when it wasnt.

Like me. As far as our families are concerned they will be told this was a surprise. I dont need to hear crap about why we didnt wait until we were married to start trying... and if they think it was a surprise I wont have to deal with it.

TTC is a tough thing to talk about IRL... thats why we have MDC!

And dont worry, Ill be sticking around Ive been here over a year while wanting to TTC but not having DF available to actively do so... Ill stick around over another year while pregnant and having this baby until we are ready to TTC again!

So today I woke up feeling not very hopeful, and not very pregnant. Got another BFN of course. Best case scenario is that I *could* be between DPO9 - DPO13 today.

My temp also dipped by almost a degree today.

Not that any of this means anything or makes sense since I didn't start charting until CD55, and I'm not even sure that I ovulated.

Stupid body. Anyone wanna trade me?

Rochelle, I'm with you. I'm going to wait a few days to test again.

I swear, if something doesn't happen to me soon (either AF or BFP) I'm going to have to go and check myself into a mental clinic somewhere.

Surely, everything I've been feeling over the last week (especially the sore nipples - which are still there by the way) are not related to nothing. But it's looking that way. I'm being entirely impatient.

I don't know how you guys that have been obsessing for more than a month do it! This is my 13th month of trying, but 1st month of obsessing and it's wearing me down! I guess having a regular cycle would make things easier...

Rochelle- Hang in there and if you need a mental clinic to go to i work right next to one...that sits on a hill....that is full of plenty of other crazies like ourselves i've sure!!!! At the 911 center where i work we call that mental hospital our retirement home! Especially with some of the calls we have to deal with day in and day out! OH....we had a call last night where a woman was 9 months pregnant with her 3rd child and she ended up having the baby in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital...like only 7 minutes into their like 15-19 minute journy from their house to our local hospital she had the baby and her husband called me not long after they figured she had gone into active labor AND her water hadn't even broken yet! It's not everyday we get to hear the EMTS that we also dispatch for say "well, we will be having a second pt riding into the hospital with us now!!!" It was amazing to know that they were able to bring a healthy beautiful baby into the world while driving down the road lol....Sorry i'm rambling...gotta do something to get my mind off the fact that they just uped my Menopur dosage!!!! (that's the injectable fertility drugs that my RE has put me on! this is our second round!!)

That's really cool! Wow - great story!
I'm envious of women that have quick L&D's after my 24 hour episode, but that's a little too quick.

Another question for you ladies. Dry CM. How dry? Like, when I (TMI coming) pull my finger out, it's glistening from moisture, but it's not creamy or lotiony like it usually is. Does this mean it's dry? It's not bone dry.....

I might belong here this month I am 8dpo with an awesome chance this month. I just got home from the DT with 8 HPTs, and am getting ready to test . I will post a pic of my BFN in a minute but I can't resist testing

I am also 8 DPO and couldn't stop myself from testing this morning...lol... I got a BFN which bummed me out a bit- but I know I am still early and with my last baby I didn't get a + till I was 10 DPO and it was very faint... did not get very dark until like 14 DPO. We BD'd with awesome timing this month....and my chart looks very nice at the moment...so I am trying to keep my paitence and remain calm about it all.

Brichole.

Rochelleann- No update on pic today. Took another and it had the same maybe shadow on it as yesterday as far as I could tell. Don't trust my ability to take a better pic, so I'll wait to see if anything more interesting develops. I hear you on the frustration of not knowing when or if you O'd. I am still there. Like okay, my chart gives me 7dpo today. But not sure. Other symptom and lesser temp rise could indicate I am only 4dpo. I must be somewhere inthere, if in fact I O'd at all. Doesn't help that different BTs are now giving me different readings (old BT says 97.5, just above CL) new one says 97.8 or 97.7, depending if I go with the 'just woke up temp' or the 'taken at the usual time' temp. I swear pretty soon it will show up to be that I never O'd after all... If you want a room in the loony bin, there is one right next to mine, lol.

AM not much new to report other than what I already posted. Don't feel pg at all. After all the flurry of signs, cramps, and positive test that I may have O'd, I just don't know... waiting to see...back still hurts today, and just had a flood of metal mouth. 2ww signs. Anyone else feel, no WAY could I be pregnant? Right? It just feels so IMPOSSIBLE sometimes. I gotta get a life.

Beloved - can't really see anything.....but, my eyes are still sore from being overworked this morning (squinting and staring at my test for 10 minutes). Hopefully it will get darker this week!!!! I do like seeing photos taken on the macro setting though.

Tara - Glad I'm not the only one! I woke up an hour early this morning, and took my temp at 6am. It was 97.4. I did a retest 5 minutes later and it was 97.5. I retested at my usual time of 7am, and it was 97.9. What the F, man? God help me. I'm not only becoming an obsessive POAS girl, but an obsessive BBT taker.....arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Oh, and I'm down to 2 HPT's. Have 75 on the way, but where the hell are they? This might mean I have a *gasp* lapse in taking tests!!!!! Oh the agony.

I think I might see something BelovedK. But I could very well be imagining it as I have been carrying around my own stick trying to project a second line so may ingrained a little red line into my cornea's

Oh, I'm sure there is nothing. I keep thinking I see it in the picture though I am only 8dpo and I know better than to test.
