Anyone testing around the 23rd? Want to join me :)

[saoirse2007]

AF is due 23rd...I am not testing until then!!!!

It would be fun to have some testing buddies

[ValH]

My AF is due around 10/21, so I'll be testing then. Maybe having a testing buddy will help me not test so stinkin' early!!

[Mama Metis]

I'll be testing closer to the 26th, but sure, I'll join in!

[saoirse2007]

I used to start testing at 8 or 9 dpo..... I will only test now if af is late. Let's see if I can stick to it .... Lol

[earth-mama]

I plan on testing around the 25th (my birthday!) AF would be due to arrive somewhere between the 22 and 24th I believe. I could use some support in not testing early. I hate BFNs!!

[ValH]

I thought it would help to have a list to keep up with it:

saoirse2007: 10/23
ValH: 10/21
Mama Metis: 10/26
earth-mama: 10/25

Let's hope for lots of BFPs!!!

[Phantaja]

My IUI was this morning and I'm *supposed* to have a pregnancy test the 27th, but I'll probably POAS the 24th or 25th so I'm in!

[ValH]

Updated the list, glad you are joining us Phantaja!

saoirse2007: 10/23
ValH: 10/21
Mama Metis: 10/26
earth-mama: 10/25
Phantaja: 10/24-25

[saoirse2007]

thanks ValH for keeping us so organized

no symptoms here....not interested in coffe, but still drinking it because not sleeping well

[earth-mama]

I've been feeling tired (like my body is tired, not from lack of sleep) and have been hungrier. But, I'm not really sure I have actually been feeling these things, maybe their just in my head because I "think" I should feel that way. I'm hoping these a signs and not wishful thinking! Also, I had some saliva fall out of my mouth the other day (TMI) that never happens, I thought it was strange and maybe another good sign

So drooling could be a sign of pregnancy? As soon as I read that I noticed how WET my mouth is feeling

I am going to be 15dpo on the 23rd. Fairly likely AF by then--this is our 13th month TTC so I am not seeing us as having stellar chances as a rule IYKWIM.

I think if I make it to 15dpo I will know I'm PG since I have had 11 day LPs lately. So you can just start congratulating me without me even testing if that happens tee hee. I probably wouldn't test until at least 13dpo anyhow so I will surely not be the first one to test here LOL.

I am 7dpo today and excited since I went off soy -WOW- my temps are more stable, my rise was better, my PMS is gone etc. etc. etc. I am also off grains but that is a whole other story... Suffice it to say I am feeling great all around. This cycle is already a little different because of other changes, but I won't be able to tell if any differences suggest I'm PG.

eta: you can put me down for the 21st

[ValH]

earth-mama - Your saliva symptom did make me laugh! But I'm the same way about assuming everything is a symptom until AF shows.

littlest birds - I'll add you to the list as testing around 10/21... does that sound right?

AFM - No real symptoms. I'm nauseous, but I'm also taking steriods, which I've been told can make you queasy. I am thrilled, though, that I'm at 8 or 9 dpo without spotting! If I make it through today, that'll be the furtherest I've made it without spotting in four months!!! Now that I've said (i.e. typed) that, I hope I haven't jinxed myself. No other smptoms, though, no cramping, tiredness, etc. I feel fantastic! Again, that could be the steroids...

Updated list (in testing order this time):

littlest birds: 10/21
ValH: 10/21
saoirse2007: 10/23
Phantaja: 10/24-25
earth-mama: 10/25
Mama Metis: 10/26

[saoirse2007]

still no symptoms here at all..I even have a few pimples on my chin

the kettle just boiled ....off to get another coffee

[earth-mama]

The drooling thing is funny and I thought everyone would get a laugh out of it. I have read that it is common to have extra saliva when you are pregnant, but really who wants to admit they are drooling He, He, He unless you are hoping it means you are pregnant!!

I had a temp dip yesterday and thought--Ohhh noo! It wasn't below the coverline, but still. Then today my temp is back up--Yeahhh! and Phew! I'm a little worried because my LP was only 8 days, but all my previous cycles were 12 and 13 days, so I am feeling paranoid and feel the need to go the bathroom a lot more often to see if AF has arrived. So, far it hasn't

I think that I will actually test on the 24th rather than the 25th assuming AF has not arrived and it won't I have to work most of the day on the 25th and would rather enjoy the day celebrating with DP rather than rushing off to work. I could test earlier, but I am going to try to wait. I have been using both FF and TCYOF for charting--this month they placed O 2 days apart TCYOF being later, so I am trying to wait until I am 'late' according to TCYOF--AF would be due on the 22nd. But I am starting to want to test as I am 9dpo according to FF.

I may not be testing at all this month... starting spotting today, and cramping yesterday. Ugh.

Good luck to the rest of you!

I've been starting to spot around 7dpo, so the fact that I've made it to 11dpo without spotting is great. I was just hoping that AF would stay away completely, for like nine months. But, I guess the extra four days without spotting is a good thing!

[HDSM]

I'll be testing around the 27th or so...

[music.mama.pdx]

If AF does not arrive on Thrs. or Fri I will be testing for sure on Saturday. I'm very tempted to do it sooner, but resisting!! I got a triphasic msg. today on FF so I am feeling slightly optimistic!
