Katie, Becky, and Sparkle- I'm in the same boat. I'm not testing until AF is due... but I am having major symptoms. I had htem last month too and started AF late so :/ I'm tired, achey, bad taste in my mouth, super super thirsty, achey boobs... Sigh... I hate TTC for the symptom spotting lol!

Serena, CONGRATS! So exciting! 

Sorry for skipping everyone else, I was at work all day and lots to catch up on. I hope everyone had a wonderful day :)

Rub your belly, think happy thoughts and enjoy being pregnant. It's the power of positive thinking! Keep on peeing, squeezing your boobs until they hurt, and encourage your baby to stick around. Forget about the BFN, It was clearly too early to test. Just enjoy being "pregnant" Have a wonderful day. I will check in later but we have to move by Jan 22 and still haven't found a house. I am going to try and stay busy doing that 

Thank you! I think we ALL needed that :)

This is how I feel, too! I am so sure I'm not pregnant but then I notice that my boobs are still sore, I'm still tired, etc. DH says he bets I am. He is not helping! I also keep going to the bathroom b/c I think AF has started but it hasn't. I hate this rollercoaster. :(

Livnkadesmom, thanks. Yeah, I'm doing ok. Just sort of mulling everything over, doing a lot of thinking and processing what happened. I'm feeling much more at peace with it, and I know that I'll be ok. I have hope for this month. I ordered a little angel wing necklace to remember baby. I know that this baby is meant to be in my and my husband's arms... and that it will happen for us. It was only my first month trying, which I think has made it a little rough for me because now I've lost a lot of faith in my body. I have fears of recurring miscarriages, and I worry that my husband will lose faith in my ability to have a baby. I know this is all silly. My husband has been so supportive and loving, and keeps reassuring me that it will be ok and that he hasn't lost any faith in me. It's just been a lot on my mind.  Thanks for asking :)

I am still being positive but boy oh boy do I was to poas. Went to lunch with a friend and wasn't crazy hungry. Have very low energy. Trying to play with the dog and I get tired easily. No sore boobs but still have a little nausea. Not much. Peeing slightly more than normal. But I promised myself I wouldn't poas so I guess I won't. Lol

[katiecornflakes]

Oh Becky, you are so strong! Although I guess POAS didn't really help me today.  You can do it! When are you going to do it, you think?

98% of me really doesn't think I could be, but that 2% keeps creeping in! 

[Serenyd]

I'm feeling really grumpy and mad that my boobs are sore because I know from last month that doesn't mean squat. Hormones kicking in ladies. Gotta love deal with it. Feels like PMS. 

[Becky8824]

Katie I don't really know. I'm not due for AF until Friday. I'm off Saturday so maybe Saturday? Then I work Sunday so if I don't test Saturday I will test Monday. I've waited this long....

[katiecornflakes]

Hugs, Serenyd. I wish I paid better attention so I knew what my PMs symptoms usually are! I seriously usually just get AF without much warning, that I notice anyhow, so the sore boobs and moodiness is just making me suspicious. Grr. But I'm writing it down this month so next time I'll know that I had these symptoms in a non pregnant cycle! If I'm not pregnant that is.

[Becky8824]

Katie I guess you won't know until your next period...in about 10 months unless you breast feed in which case will be longer

Ugh I feel ya because my husband is doing the SAME thing! My boobs feel like they might be bigger too LOL! Probably too early but ah this is torture. Husbands totally don't make this TWW easier.

[katiecornflakes]

Becky, I love the optimism!!

Jjh, I know! Silly husbands. When do you test again?

[jjh5351]

If I am not pg this month I am going to really track symptoms on my period tracker app and see how things go. I wonder if it has temping on the app? Also for those of you that temp- when you do, is it ok to get out of bed to just walk to the bathroom? I read somewhere not to do that but I feel like DH would be so annoyed with me waking him up to a beeping thermometer lol!

[jjh5351]

Katie- I have zero tests in my house and dollar tree which is conveniently a block away is totally sold out. This means I am waiting 6 days until AF Is actually due. Wish me luck! When are you all testing again?

[dahlia810]

My tww won't start until closer to the end of the month, but I'll be hanging out around here rooting for you all :) Good luck testers!

[katiecornflakes]

jjh - You really shouldn't get up at all before you test. It should be wakeup, pop thermometer in mouth. Most of them really don't beep very loudly. My DH never woke up to it when I used to be able to do it. I really loved having those data points, but I'm geeky like that. It bothered me this time to not know for sure which day I ovulated. I can't believe you can't get tests! Wow. And 6 more days to go. You are strong! I am going to try to hold out until AF is late, which would be Sunday, but of course as the day has gone on today, I keep thinking well what if I just tested in the morning just to check! That's what happens when you have a drawer full of tests! I should send you a few! 

Dahlia - hugs. Hope you're doing ok. Thanks for the cheers!

[jjh5351]

Thank you Dahlia!

Katie the only test I currently have is an EPT digital and it was expensive so I refuse to use it until I am late lol! I seriously could NOT believe that dollar tree was out of tests! Apparently tons of stores around town have run out of tests- apparently everyone is trying to get pregnant! I'm considering buying some wondfos but I will wait and see if AF comes so I don't have a bunch of tests if I am pregnant! Trying to remain strong! We can do it haha

[dahlia810]

If I decide to begin temping this month, when should I start in my cycle?

[Cindy-lu]

Dahlia - well O and wait together!!!☺

Who will be testing next???? Hummm?? Need more BFP!!!

[katiecornflakes]

Dahlia - You should start right after AF ends. You need 6 days of temps to get a coverline so most people start around CD 5 or 6 to make sure to get that in. 

jjh - So funny that they're all out of tests! Do people not have anything better to do in the winter than TTC? LOL!
