I will really get to celebrating when I either hit my 8th week or start to feel pregnant. I have a good feeling that this is a sticky one but of course with so many mc's previously I do worry a little. I usually don't make it this far if something is going to go wrong so I feel blessed so far.

Here is a run down of symptoms I have experienced so far if anyone want to compare.

1DPO-7DPO no symptoms (which is odd because I usually have a lot of cramping from ovulation until AF, not really any cramping this cycle)Temp spike days 6 and 7.

8DPO-fatigue, very vivid dream, leaking nipple

9DPO-BFP, fatigue, temps still not above 98 but hovering in the high 97's

10DPO-12DPO fatigue, temps still not above 98

13DPO-fatigue, emotional, heavy cramping still temps not up

14DPO-15DPO fatigue, emotional, temps above 98

And that's about it. The cycle I am actually pregnant I have no symptoms. I guess what I experienced before was just pms rather than pregnancy signs.

I know how much you ladies like charts so here is mines.

Congrats again! Hope I'm there with ya next week, then there will be another military babe 

AFM....

I'm very hopeful considering we have BD'd 10/15CD's . I'm on CD 17 now, so I should know for sure by next weekend (based on last BD), but of course I'll be testing on Tuesday and Thursday also. 

But for now I'm expecting a BFN, probably because I don't wanna get my hopes up too high.

Cassandraz--->You're military as well???? I just love meeting other military wives on here. I hope you get your BFP. I just have to tell you that the way we concieved DD1 and 2 was by DTD every single day in our fertile week. Worked like a charm. I had my doubts about this cycle because we only BDed once because we had family in town for the holidays so it was kind of awkward lol. But best of luck to you!!! I will be stalking your posts.

[John16n33]

Cassandraz & hoping4just1more- We are military too!  I actually have a question that y'all might be able to answer for me.  We currently have Tricare Standard now, just because that is what Dh signed us up with while he was at basic and we never changed it.  I am wanting to switch us to Prime because I don't want to pay the copays all the time and I was going to call Monday to do that. BUT if I do get PG I will eventually want to go back to standard (in July/August when we get to our next duty station) so I can have a homebirth.  My questions are can I change to prime now but switch back to standard then if I want?  Could I switch just myself back to standard and leave Dd on prime at that time?

I haven't found any IRL mom's that know this answer yet (I don't know any IRL mom's who want a homebirth lol) so I was hoping one of y'all might know the answer.

I'm still waiting to O- but that hasn't stopped us from BD-ing as much as possible! I'm sick right now, flu-ish symptoms- hoping it doesn't mess up my cycle too much. I'm so glad to be on here, we haven't really told anyone in the family that we're trying- which is easy since we're so far away from them now. 

Congrats to all the BFP's! Sorry about the AF's and losses!

Thinking fertile thoughts.

LisaAdkins - You're welcome! And I totally second SkinnyLove's rec for Fertility Friend. It's just so user friendly and like Skinny I like having that little bit of control over what's going on. It's also really useful having the data to look back on in order to get an idea of what your body is doing. How cool to see your coworker's baby move! That is pretty exciting, and even more so when it's all of us :)

Hoping - Thanks so much for sharing this info with us! Really great to hear you're doing well!

Angie - Good to see you! I was wondering how you're doing :) I'm sorry to hear you've been having a rough time, though. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Lisoula - Ha! The 2WW is definitely tough! Do you have lots of snow where you are? 

KatCooke - BD'ing all the time, life's so hard! Haha ;) Sorry to hear you're unwell, though! We also haven't told anyone that we're trying, although this being our first we do get the odd comment about when we're thinking about having babies. I just try and brush it off, haha. I don't really want it to be a big deal!

AFM - I have no idea what is going on with my cycle at the moment, ugh. FF thinks I ovulated on CD8 which would be at least a week early for me. So I discarded the temp on CD11 because I knew my sleep had been all messed up that day, and it took the cross hairs away. Also this morning I was a little sleep deprived when I temped, but I'm pretty sure I got at least 4 hours before temping so that should be fine. I am taking Vitex to regulate my cycle, but surely it wouldn't kick in this early? I've had no ewcm, but my creamy cm is often really stretchy....is that normal? Also, this morning when I checked my cm it was super stretchy, but also lotiony.....so not semen I don't think (we BD'd last night), I don't know what it is! I did the water test, which I've never done before, and it balled up and sank which I think means cm. I know I should just wait it out and see what my temps do. If I did ovulate early I'm pretty sure we're out this month as we've had no chance to BD apart from once earlier in my cycle that I forgot to mark down, but I'm pretty sure it was too early. Sigh.

Right now we only have about six inches, but there was an advisory to only go out if necessary because of icy road conditions.  Blah....I hate winter.    It's supposed to warm up to the 40's tomorrow, though, so the ice should melt & I can go buy some tests.

The odd brown spotting is back though...  It's so light it's barely noticeable,  but I can't figure out what the heck it is.  I never spot this far before AF is due.  ????

[LadyCatherine185]

Can I join? ;)

Add me to 2ww!

I haven't been on/posted on MDC in months! But here I am, 6-8 DPO (not entirely positive!) and thinking I may be pregnant. I have had a few off and on "symptoms" like headaches and fatigue and a little nausea.... We weren't trying, but I am thinking that we DTD too close to ovulation without withdrawal (our usual BC method) and I have been obsessing over this possible pregnancy! I am thrilled at the possibility, very very excited.... So we shall see!

I have taken a couple tests, BFN's so far. Of course it is still early!

Question-- I had some very fertile fluid (I usually can go by my CF as to my fertility status) from about Thursday 1/12-Sunday 1/15, with the MOST fluid being between Friday and Saturday. I am questioning whether this means I ovulated when there was the most fluid, or on Sunday when there was still a little fluid left?

Anyway, I will be testing again in the morning. ;) Good luck everyone!!

[John16n33]

LadyCatherine185-I'm not 100% sure but everything I have read says you are still fertile until you stop experiencing fertile CM.  Hope that helps.

[doularebekah]

LadyCatherine - Hey! Welcome to the group :) Fingers crossed that this is an exciting surprise for you :) As for the CF, like Meagan above said you're theoretically fertile until fertile CF stops but as for actual ovulation the only real way to confirm it is by a temp shift. Do you chart? I guess probably not if you weren't trying, ha. Anyway, I'd say it's likely Sat or Sun but couldn't say for sure. Good luck!

Lisoula - Oh man, that's so crazy to me as it's summer here at the moment! I have sunburn from being at the beach last weekend even. I must admit I do miss the snow from Vancouver though, although I guess that's easy to say when I don't have to go out in it! As for the spotting, I can't say....possible implantation but also possibly just a bit of old blood...we'll have to wait and see ;)

[LadyCatherine185]

Not charting.. I still wake up 2347029374092734 times a night with my 14 month old, who is still nursing quite a bit.. ;) I have had my cycle back since 6 months PP though.. When DS1 was 17 months old I got pregnant with DS2, and DS1 was also still nursing almost every hour around the clock.. however I had JUST gotten my cycle back 15 months PP.

If I didn't ovulate until Sunday, I would guess that we DTD too early for conception (It was Saturday 1/7). But, maybe I ovulated Friday or Saturday and the egg stayed until Sunday? I realize there is not a HUGE chance of pregnancy, but it didn't take much at all to get pregnant with my first two.  

[Lisoula]

doularebekah-A friend of mine lives in Australia & is vacationing in New Zealand right now & he looks so warm in all of his pics on facebook!  If given the choice, I would gladly be down there with you right now :)

Best of luck for everyone.....let's get those BFP's!

[LadyCatherine185]

As of right now, my only symptoms are HUNGER, and I am having a bit of discharge/fluid.... I don't think I normally get this between Ovulation and AF... thoughts?

[Lisoula]

I too am starving!  I cannot get full today.  We may be in luck, Lady Catherine!

[Rockabilly Mama]

Ugh I'm WAITIN TO O .....again. I hate af.

I have been feeling like this the last several days! I recently lost 25 lbs (since July/August) and have been able to eat a lot less to get full, but the last few days it is like I can't eat enough! haha

Just sent DH out to get cookie dough to make some fresh-out-of-the-oven sugar cookies.... ;)

Looking forward to seeing if you are pregnant  With my first babe I remember having watery CM throughout my pregnancy (which I've been having for about 2-4 days now), but FF just counts that as being fertile, so my calendar for the month is all green, so I have no idea when I ovulated , so I'm just counting 10 days after the last time we BD'd and making that day the moment of truth

Same here! I get nauseous and then when I eat it goes away, but I keep on eating and eating and don't get full, it's been like this for about three days, already gained 1.5 lb(s) in a week, which is a miracle considering I have a super fast metabolism. I'm very hopeful...

I personally would stay on standard, I love going to any doctor I want for Audrey (currently w/ Dr. Sears) and having options. I don't pay copays at my doctors office, so I get billed in the mail and have a limit. Hubby is on tricare prime remote, so we are able to have different Tricare plans, your best bet would obv be to call tricare.

It's Sunday night in NZ, so the new threads up! http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1342826/the-one-thread-jan-22-29#post_16841819

[John16n33]

Thanks Cassandraz- I'll call on Monday to look into it.  I do like that I can see anyone I want but in Hawaii I am going to want to go to a naturopathic doctor and I don't think even standard will pay for them. :/ I know they won't pay for chiropractors.
