OK so AF is really driving me crazy!!! I would have put ALL my money on the fact that yesterday was CD1 and that i was COMPLETELY OUT BUT after my one trip to the bathroom with the "medium flow" that was happening, it STOPPED!! Now i'm spotting brown w/ pink and it's only when i wipe!!! I'm SOOOOO confused!  I just wish she'd just show her ugly face so i can get the next cycle going but she's just going to hold me in limbo i guess!! (if i'm not going to start i'd rather just not spot lol. DH and I have our house to ourselves for the next week while my oldest DD is in Disney World with my parents, i'd like to at least "enjoy" the time with DH!!! Especially since E goes to bed so freaking early and we don't have cable at the house yet lol)

I had a dream that my mom found out she was pregnant (she'll be 49 this month). I woke up with my heart pounding and throat tight and such a flood of anger and sadness and the feeling of never being able to forgive her. This is one is going to take a while to get out of my head....

[PrenatalCoach]

Thanks for the support everyone. Sorry, I'm having trouble keeping up on all the threads and conversations!

I think I'm out of the 2WW but I'm not 100% convinced yet lol I'm 14 DPO today (usually 12-13 LP). Yesterday I had lots of cramping (much like what I would get if I HAD a moderate flow... except it was still very light.) Since I always have around 6 days of spotting before AF arrives I always know when my cycle starts because the flow is significantly more and I always switch from my lunapanties/lunapads to my diva cup! Yesterday I was still fine wearing a pantyliner. I haven't been temping regularly this cycle because of issues with my thermometer so while I think my temp dropped yesterday and today I'm not entirely sure. I'm expecting to see AF today, we'll see! If my regular menstrual flow doesn't start today then I might test tomorrow morning just to be sure. At this point I'm fine either way, I just want to know!!! That's the hardest part, not knowing!

I agree, the not knowing is murder! I can't imagine the millions of years women haven't been totally sure for at least two missed periods. I'd go nuts!

I had a dream, while pregnant with my first, that my mom came to see me, saw I was still pg, and warned me she'd come back and steal him when he was born. I couldn't get over that for *months* even though I new it was a dream. Weird.

FIngers crossed that something good comes of this, even if it's just BDing practice ;)

AFM, my almost-2 yo jumped on my belly at about 6 AM. I felt his pelvic bones slam in my uterus through his little bottom. I screamed without meaning to and spent about two hours cramping. It scared me and made me hope that if there is a little embryo (zygote?) in there it was just floating around and got a good jiggle, instead of being knocked off it's perch. Gah. 10 dpo and I'm wishing for it to be Wednesday already!

I have had dreams before that 1 of my sisters is pregnant and I get sooooooooooo mad and jealous. My sisters are 5 and 9 years younger than me and neither of them is planning to TTC anytime soon (though the one who's 24 is starting to feel the baby bug biting!)

I have exactly the same problem figuring out when the spotting ends and AF begins! Its pretty annoying, especially when I have to do fertility tests and they say to call on CD1 and make an appointment for CD 3-5, and I just can't figure out when I am on CD1! One of the times I made an appointment for what I thought was sometime between CD3-5 and when I went for the test it turns out it wasn't even CD1 yet (they were doing an ultrasound and they said that the thickness of my uterine lining was what they would see in the LP).

AFM - I had some pretty insane cramps this morning, but I am not yet bleeding a ton so tomorrow I expect to have even heavier bleeding and even worse cramps. There is a really fun bike festival tomorrow that DH and I and my Dad and sister had all signed up for, it involves biking about 60 miles (with limited washroom access), but when I have my AF cramps, any type of physical activity makes me feel like I'm going to die (even if I start popping Advil like candy) so it looks like I'm going to have to skip it. It's really too bad, I've been looking forward to this event for a while.

It's so unfair that my worst day of AF keeps interfering with stuff like this, the same thing happened to me on my wedding day last summer but obviously I couldn't skip that so I took a ton of Advil and then my sisters had to help me hold up my wedding dress when I went to change my pads every couple of hours, that was seriously awkward! The worst part is that my period was so heavy that I leaked blood all over the inside of my wedding dress. Luckily none of it showed on the outside and my MIL was super helpful and managed to get the stains out afterwards.

Can someone take over the thread tomorrow? I will be out of town all next week so I can't do it this time. If you haven't been threadkeeper before don't worry, it's super easy! And there is no obligation to do it for more than 1 week.

Sourire: I'm sorry you have to miss your ride tomorrow. It does sound like it would be pretty miserable with AF though.

Cygknit: Ow! Kids can be really sharp sometimes. I hope you get to feeling better and everything works out.

PrenatalCoach: Good luck keeping AF away today! I totally agree with you that not knowing is the hard part.

AFM: I think my mind is playing tricks on me. I'm having some weird pains in my groin area. Kinda like round ligament pains, but more mild and lingering. DTD really makes it hurt. My bbs are tingling too, and have been for days. They're not extra sensitive though. I don't even know for sure if I did ovulate, or when. My CM has changed to creamy though, so I'm guessing this isn't ovulation. And my temperature is back up. I tested today just because I "feel" different, and of course it was a BFN. This is killing me!

Annd I'm having to start over bc it ate my post grr...

 Sourire - I would be SO mad about missing that ride! AF is so mean! Hugs to all of you that are bleeding, especially when you shouldn't be! I can't imagine bleeding all of the time and having debilitating AF on top of it all! Me, I feel like I never bleed. Only unless I O and get AF. Buuuuttt, I have rarely been O'ing, so rarely get AF. I don't which is worse  I will take the thread  I'm already thread keeping the 20's thread so I'm on here a lot (probably WAY more than necessary). 

DandyLion - to my WTF is going on buddy. I hope your body can straighten itself soon!!!

Cygknit - I'm guessing you have a little boy? My DS also seems to think mommy is a jungle gym and is so rough with me lol! Little clump of dividing cells I hope you are in there and that you are snuggling in tight!
 

[Sourire]

Thanks for taking over the thread Sila!

[cygknit]

Sourire , that sounds awful. I'm sorry you're missing your ride, and more sorry that you have to go through that kind of pain all. the. time.

Dandy, do you have a chart up? This cycle has been crazy for you. You deserve a BFP out of it, for sure.

Yep! Two, in fact. I don't dare lay on the floor anymore or I turn into that jungle gym you speak of. My YDS was up crazy early, at 5 am, and I had him in bed with me in the hopes he'd roll around until he got sleepy. Ha. He was having too much fun playing with the cat and (apparently) with Mama. And my hopeful clump of dividing cells thanks you :)

Well, AF showed up this evening. Can you move me to Waiting to O? We decided to try one more cycle before taking a break.

[toothfairy2be]

I would also like to be moved to waiting to o, AF came this afternoon while I was at a lumberyard picking out decking supplies, and wearing white capris. I am thankful it did not go through. I have been a super crab apple the rest of the day. I am hoping my mood improves tomorrow.

[PrenatalCoach]

AF arrived today for me too. Please move me to waiting to O.

[SilaMarila]

SO sorry and angry that AF has found all of you!!! 

NEW THREAD IS UP!!!

POST HERE  for the next week
