Wow, congrats TropicalFever!!  That's amazing news! Sorry I've been so quiet this week, for some reason Mothering stopped alerting me to new posts both via email and on my account dashboard so I didn't realise anyone had been posting!

Could you please let me know where you're all at so I can update the list above? Thanks!

[SophieAnn]

Hey, thanks for the new thread.  I am Waiting to Know (2WW).

3DPO and the prettiest chart I've ever had so far.

[BaileyB]

You can move me back to waiting to O. I started a second round of m/c bleeding last week so I must have been waaaay  off thinking I was O'ing already. Anyway, I am def DONE with bleeding and back to cervix checking and CM checking. High, Firm, Closed today! I am going to roughly count today as CD6 because that is when I normally would quit bleeding.

On a side note, my daughter got to order some monarch chrysalises (?) from her school and we get to pick them up this afternoon!!

[pieknits]

Well AF finally arrived on Sunday, 10 days late - the longest ever. So back to "Waiting to O" for me.

BaileyB  - the butterfly crystalles seem like a lot of fun. What a neat activity for your daughter to get to see the butterflies being "born". Have fun with that!

AFM - Well, I've done exactly what I said I wouldn't do and now I'm in a pretty depressed mood. I promised that I wouldn't do a lot of early testing, and I have. They are all about as negative as you can get -- nothing even to squint at. My temps have been up and down the past few days. It dropped below the coverline on Sunday, but was back up yesterday. Now it's dropped again, not below the coverline but still. AF is due in the next few days so time will tell. I'm trying to get my mind off of it and shake it off. DH and I are taking DS to the Children's Museum today so that should help. I'm just so emotional right now & want to cry. So silly. But then hey - it could be an early preggo sign OR just PMS. *sigh*. Thanks for letting me vent. Just needed to get that off my chest. 

Hope everyone else is having a good morning & great day. 

[wannabmomkt]

Thanks for starting this thread again!

I am starting again in the 2WW. 2DPO now. Praying that the IUI we did worked this time!

mayday: hang in there! just know this waiting period won't last forever :)

[odinsmama]

Hey ladies, good to hear updates from you all!

I'm waiting to know and will be testing tomorrow which will be 15dpo I *think*. If not, then might be only 12 or 13 dpo.
I am counting the o day based on cm only, since I wasn't temping then. I only had watery cm for 2 days and counted o day as the 2nd of those days. Never got ewcm except for after BMs a couple of days, but then dry the rest of the day. So, not sure what to think about those days.

Anyway, got some kind of a super duper faint line yesterday but it didn't have any color to it so we'll see what tomorrow's test looks like.

Having lots of possible preg symptoms and my breasts are *really* hurting today.

Fingers crossed for all of us!

[kimble]

Thanks for the new thread and happy baby dust to all of you.

cont me as 2ww, I think O has happened but my temps are all over the place this month so I may be a little off ... still doing the BD just in case.
 

[LivingSky]

Thanks for the new thread! I'm Waiting to Know (2WW). Oh, and my chat link http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/LivingSky

maydaymom10 - I agree with odinsmama, hang in there! Last pregnancy I got a completely stark white BFN at 12DPO and a very faint BFP at 14DPO.

And on that note, I'm trying to rely on my last experience as a really good reason not to test until Sunday (14DPO). It's working (mostly) but I still get that little nagging voice saying - but what if this time you COULD get a BFP early? I'm trying to ignore it!

[magoodoggy]

Hi, everyone!

Happy to see that everyone is doing well!

Please move me to 2ww. This is my first TTC cycle, so I'm new to all of this. I have symptoms, but probably imaginary ones. I had cramping 5 days DPO and since then have been pretty exhausted. We'll see.

Congrats to all of those with little pink lines!

[BetsyPage]

Well, I am 14dpo and expecting AF any minute now, literally... I think? I'm feeling thrown off, I've been having some twinges/fluttering/sort of thumpy feelings. Could be gas, probably is... I had a BFN day before yesterday (Day 12) but on an "early detection" test, so I'm definitely expecting AF. But still feeling a bit odd.

[carvertmmy]

I'm waiting to know.

Due to start af the 4th of June so if I don't start then I will test.

BaileyB, the butterflies sound really fun. What a lovely image to have as you continue on your ttc journey. 

doularebekah, please list me in the 2ww.

This is our first cycle ttc after a miscarriage last year. We have one ds and are looking forward to giving him a sibling soon. I think I'm at 1 DPO, but have already had very weird symptoms. Could be imaginary, could be real. We'll know soon. Cramping (I never get cramping pre-AF) and super fatigued.

Looking forward to reading about everyone else...

[maydaymom10]

Move me back to waiting to O. AF officially arrived this evening. Now I know that I can add extreme crabbiness and mood swings to my list of PMS symptoms.

DH still doesn't quite get how this whole "cycle thing" works and is ready to go try again -- now. He's enjoying this way too much   

Good luck to everyone still in the hunt this month.

[Shawnamarie]

Hi all!

Lots of new names around here. I graduate in less than 2 weeks and am looking forward to a bit more spare time so I'll probably be posting more regularly again. :)

I guess I can be moved to Waiting to know. FF seems to change its mind every day as to when I ovulated, so I have no idea. It keeps switching between CD14 and CD21, which really is a huge spread. This cycle has been totally weird and I'm going to try progesterone cream for the fourth time this cycle. Every other time I've tried it, my temp drops a bit the next day. I don't know if this is a bad sign or what. Does anyone have experience with it?

Here's my chart if anyone's interested: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/9f639

[librarygirl]

odinsmama, sounds good!

Can I be added to the list? Here is my chart link: <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/323c35/">My Ovulation Chart</a>

I guess I'm Waiting to Know.

First TTC cycle and it's been weird. I have been taking a really powerful vitamin which seems to be shortening my cycle over all but lengthening my LP and that's a good thing. I have been O'ing around CD18 and if I O'd when I think I did, it was CD14.

On CD9- I went to the dr for an ear infection so I was taking antibiotics and a psuedophedrine-based decongestant so the CF I had from CD10-CD14 was less than usual but was there (if a little early). On CD15, I dried up and no CF since then. Which is why I think I might have just O'd early but didn't have much CF (compared to normal). I thought I might be off on my days but it's CD17 and no signs of O at all now, including a negative OPK. Unfortunately, I didn't temp this month so I don't have that to confirm with. If I did O last week, the BD timing was good so I'm hopeful but it's just frustrating not being able to pinpoint the day (I usually can very easily).

My DH is just positive that we'll get pregnant this month and I can't seem to convince him that it could take us several months (at least) to get a BFP. I love his confidence but I think he's going to be awfully disappointed if it doesn't happen right away. Men are so black and white. :)

[Attached2Elijah]

Hey girls, just popping in to say Hey and that I didn't forget about you. I know I was removed for inactivity and that's fine... I go through spurts of feeling like TTC and being done. This is one of our ON months, I guess. We are trying to DTD every other day this month. It would be nice if it worked but I'm not getting my hopes up. I have lost about 25 pounds lately and am feeling really good so I hope that has rejumped my fertility a bit but I guess we'll see! I'm a a good place lately with being okay no matter what happens. I have a beautiful family and I am very happy with them... but if another one felt they should join, I would be happy too so I guess that makes us NTNP.

Lots of new names on here and far too many old ones. Hope you ALL get your sticky BFPs very, very soon!

[dakipode]

doularebekah, please put me in waiting to O. I expect to be there till at least June 10th, *sigh*.

odinsmama, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

My Dh doesn't quite get it either. I have noticed that it is a bad idea to tell him which days are my fertile days because although he wants another baby, whenever I have told him that I was fertile on a particular day I can just see a reel in his brain playing a movie of me puking in a bucket with really bad morning sickness with my previous pregnancies. I think it totally kills the mood for him.
