The 2WW - Testing the Week of Christmas (December 19 - 25) - Page 3

[nurnur]

I havn't temped, so my O prediction date is just going off my cycle dates and FCM, I seriously don't know how we COULD not have caught the egg if it fell, day one of my cycle was 11/24, fertile week 6th-12th, but the last few days Ive had even more EWCM so Im puzzled now, anyone else have copious amounts of CM after O and possible conception?  Im feeling a little crampy and just have a full feeling in my uterine area.....trying not to think tooo much about it, it's exciting though!

When iwas pg with ddi had fcm in the tww

BFN at 11DPO

I would be freaking out either way. For DS I didn't test until 16DPO and remember my husband and I examined that stick carefully because the line was so faint, so I am not surprised. Things seem off to me. My boobs felt heavy and a little achy yesterday. My temps rose again, resembling the triphasic chart from my pregnancy with DS. So, I can't help but think I am pg. I have one more stick left so I will wait until 16DPO. My LP is 15-16 days normally so if I don't have AF by then....

Megan Pie - I've gotten you added to the testing list.  Good luck!

TTCMama - I'm sorry that you won't be testing on Christmas, but still keep us posted on how things are going for you!  I hope you caught that eggie! 

Nurnur - I've read that there is sometimes a surge of hormones about one week after O, and that can cause excess CM.  I've also read that in pregnant women, the surge can be even higher and cause more CM.  Fingers crossed for you that it's the latter option. 

Bobbys - Sorry about the BFN... but it's still early!  I'm hoping you'll get that BFP on 16dpo! 

AFM - Temp is holding steady in my normal LP range.  No spotting yesterday or this morning.  I didn't test today like I wanted to, though.  I'll be waiting until the 21st, unless my temp goes any higher. 

Lots of baby dust to everyone! 

[Ayame87]

Finally I O'd and am I'm STOKED!! I'll be testing on 12/23-12/24 12 DPOish....  I'm really really praying this is a BFP because this is my husbands first CHILD of his own, and the inlaws first (blood)  Grandbaby!!  So it's almost like being pregnant the first time all over again.  This will totally bring my son and my husband together, as well as all of us as a family.  I couldn't ask for anything better as a Christmas present!

here's my chart :D

Ayame87 that's super exciting!  I've got my fingers crossed for y'all!

Thank you!!!

Boy is it just me or do these days seem to be creeping by?! Today I'm finally 7DPO, but it feels like that took two weeks, lol. I better find a good book to read or something to get my mind off the waiting!

Symptom wise, the other two times I was pregnant, the overwhelming symptom was definitely boob fullness and super-tenderness... but those times, I wasn't nursing (First time, obviously, and the second time my dd was 5 y.o.). Now I'm nursing the toddler. Wondering if that would be different, like the effect might not be as noticeable, so maybe not as reliable an indicator. I don't temp, so I'll just try to wait for 14 DPO, when AF is usually due.

Wishing you all well!

 Yep, it is CREEPING by.  I just made it to 10dpo... seems like 10 year! 

[zanelee]

UGH! I'm 7 DPO and am CRABBY today! Anyone else? Everything is getting on my nerves! Usually I do this and builds to a head literally the moment I start bleeding. But, I'm still a week away from that.

Hoping this is a good sign, otherwise, everyone else is just getting griped at for nothing. :)

Nope, not just you. LOL  I'm on 11DPO and it seems like a month...  I broke down and tested early today and got a BFN. :(  I hope its just still too early.  I only have one more stick too, so I'm definitely saving that one for Saturday.  -sigh-

ETA: Okayyyy, well, it looks like I may not need to test Saturday.  I just started spotting.   I'm really hoping its implantation bleeding, because I've NEVER had a 30 day cycle.  Anywhere from 33-45 is normal for me, with 36 being about average.  If this is AF, I will be absolutely shocked.  If it is though, yay for a shorter cycle, I guess!

6dpo, my temps are way higher than they've ever been. I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I think it just might be the NPC.

Hoping it's just implantation spotting, urchin_grey!

[Megan Pie]

ohno!  my CM check hinted that i'll probably spot today!  implantation bleeding? oh ihopeihopeihope

how do you not get your hopes up?

how do you ladies keep "am i pregnant?  am i just late?  or am i pregnant?  or late? pregnant?late?pregnant?" from constantly running through your head?  any suggestions? 

i either need a distraction or a reality check.

long story short: all i asked santa for was a baby, and we're testing christmas day. 

(although not in the morning... i couldnt find out, then spend the day with the in-laws without blurting it out!)

Wait, Megan - are you saying you're on Day 34 of a usually 28 Day cycle?! I don't think that makes you an early-tester-lady!And you're planning on waiting 8 more days to test. Wowza! I think I'd need to know before then myself... Do you sometimes  have long cycles?

Good luck with either the waiting or the testing!

[Megan Pie]

i average 28 days... but i've only been charting since august or september, and i'm only 4 months off the pill, so i'm allowing for a lot of wiggle room, on the  chance my cycles arent really normalized yet.  I've read that a cycle could be anywhere from 21 to 35 days and still be considered "normal" so i thought i'd wait for day 42 (one week late after a 35 day cycle).  i think the overly practical side of my brain made that decision, and now the impatient and emotioal part of my brain is seriously reconsidering!

[earthmummy08]

Hi, i'm a new!! currently 6 dpo, normally have a 28 - 30 day cycle. trying for baby #2, my DD is 2 1/2! 3rd month of trying! had the mother of all headaches ov last wknd and vomited this morning?? no cramping or back ache which i usually have loads of??strange??

Planning on testing at 12dpo.... not before then......mmmm...NO!!

Looking forward to seeing lots of BFP's on here this christmas! sending a tonne of baby dust to you all! I hope we all get our christmas wish!

I've got the same thing going on.  I had some pinkish spotting on Thursday (just once, not like all day) and then tonight when I got home from shopping I had a bit of brown spotting.  Its within the range that could potentially mean implantation, but it could also just be pre-AF spotting...  I can only remember that happening once or twice in recent years though.  Normally if I catch any spotting before its full-on AF, I start that day, not days later.

[vtechmom]

I'm out, AF showed up early :(.  Well, at least I'll be able to drink at the holiday party.  Onwards to cycle #3.

13 DPO BFN

I couldn't wait to test until 16DPO because I feel horrible. Yesterday, I went to bed at 7:30pm. I am achy and tired after 12 hours of sleep. I don't feel like myself. I also cannot for the life of me imagine these are PMS symptoms because I have never had symptoms before the arrival of AF. I've been tired with headaches but that always occurs during the actual period.

So what gives?

With my DS, I never felt pregnant until a week after I tested positive. Now, I am testing negative and I feel pregnant.

Temps are still up.

If I am getting my period, and this is PMS, then I am in trouble for future cycles because this is ridiculous.

If I'm pregnant, where the hell is the positive test?!

[Bobbys]

Ok, so I have slight bleeding but a temp today of 98.46.....I never started to bleed before my temps plummeted. I don't know what to make of it.

I have a triphasic chart as well as CM this morning. ????
