AFM, I'm CD14 and finally have some EWCM today.  I usually get it a few days earlier than this but I had a big presentation at school which made me stressed out for the past week so I think that may have delayed O a little bit.  Now that my presentation is over (and I really didn't need to worry so much about it!), my body seems to have switched gears.  It will be a busy weekend around here ;-)

[Blonhrt88]

Congrats deli!

Angel, have fun with your baby makin this weekend!

Mamacats, I'm giving the middle finger to my cycle as we speak. STILL no sign of AF!

[SparkleMaman]

I just have a minute but wanted to let you know I checked in with my Ob/Gyn office and all of my labwork is normal!! I am very relieved and excited. Apparently at 36 I am not too old to do this So, on to lots of BDing this week as I wait to O!!

[Larski]

Congratulations, SparkleMaman!  Happy BDing!

[chuord]

Congrats deli! I hope this is a sticky one after your long wait.
Congrats sparkle on the 'norms' lol and happy BDing!
Angel - hoping you catch the egg this time too!
Blonhart - good luck with the patience game... I mean IDGFV lol - same to the rest of you ladies in that 'happy' place!
Afm I'm still lurking daily - in out this month (missed O) so I'm currently at 15dpo and watching to see how long my LP is lol before AF shows... Then onto a productive next cycle!

Hi all! Lots of BFPs and late AFS yay!!

Ok so question: my AF is officially late. I'm not usually late and I've been taking vitex for 3 months now so I would assume that's not the problem. HPTs have been negative thus far but I didn't test with FMU this morning because I woke up really early to pee and didn't want to test lol so anyway I am dumb and obsessive and used my last frer today when I got home from work after drinking a lot. I opened the test up to look at it and it just completely fell apart.

Has this happened to everyone else? I've seen Katie's before torn apart and it didn't look like this! Let me know ! Also please excuse my filthy sink haha

[katiecornflakes]

Wow so much going on here!

Huge congrats deli!

Yay sparkle!!

Hugs to all the wacky cycles and lots of baby dust for those testing soon!!

[katiecornflakes]

jjh so exciting you are late!! That's what they look like when you tear them apart for sure. I can't tell if there's a line! When I click on the pic I see another pic on my phone. So weird I will try the computer!

[jjh5351]

Oh there is totally no line there from what I can tell. It almos seems like I didn't pee on it enough! Which I held it in my urine for 5 sec so that's strange. I'm just being weird and I am probably out because I have no symptoms just late AF which could mean nothing. Agh. I won't be TOO sad though because I really would love a November baby so I vs have maternity leave through the holidays since I work retail then I wouldn't quit my job haha

[katiecornflakes]

That is weird! I agree, no line. The top piece is where the line would be. I'm sorry AF is late with no BFP. So annoying!! But I hear you that a November baby would be good! 

[jjh5351]

Any other testers out there? Late AF? These hours between me getting home and my husband getting home have been torture today!

[20m8ie]

Am I too late to join this party?

I'm (probably obviously) brand new here. (Please forgive me for being low on knowledge when it comes to different terms and abbreviations.) I have some fertility issues, but currently I can't do anything medically to combat them due to no health insurance and lack of money otherwise, so I just pray. A lot.

For the last few days I've had a heavy, bloated feeling in my lower abdomen, which is putting pressure on my bladder. I thought maybe I was just constipated (TMI?) buuut that is not the case. I've been incredibly thirsty for the past 5-7 days, especially upon waking. I've also been ravenously hungry all day today, this is the first day I've noticed this. I don't have anything close to a normal menstrual cycle, so I have no idea if AF is on her way or not. I've had crazy temperature fluctuation, bursts of energy swinging into pretty strong fatigue, tender breasts, and probably more. I have many a time tricked myself into thinking I was pregnant and then one to two days later began my period, but none of those times included the thirst, bladder pressure, or the amount of hunger I had today.

I'm sorry for the rant. I hope this wasn't an inappropriate place to post all of this! I guess I'm just looking for people who can understand the emotions that go into not being able to get pregnant easily, as opposed to my [very caring and loving and thoughtful] friends who can only tell me, "Don't worry, it'll happen!"

[Blonhrt88]

So happy to hear good news sparkle!

Just checking in, 5am insomnia here....

Oh that's such wonderful news deli! Huge congratulations!!! Wishing you a healthy, happy, super boring nine months that ends in a fat, healthy, squishy little baby . Can't wait to see how you told the hubs.

What kind of sick, twisted mind games are going on here?! How are you feeling? Have you tested again yet?

Fantastic! I'm so glad everything is looking good Sparkle! Too old? Pfft, we're spring hens my dear!

for you anyway jjh!

And a big and happy weekend to everyone else out there .

Ok, so here's a x-post from a thread I post in on the PABL forum here last night:

Guess it came on b/c I didn't eat enough today but I haven't been all that hungry. And even when I do need to eat I don't get like that. Had some super buttery artisan toast and my blood sugar seems to be on an even keel now. I still feel weird though. I'm fighting to stay awake and it's not even a quarter 'til 9 yet! The tired I had last cycle gots nothin' on this *yawn*. IDK ladies, this is just, different. We'll see what the weekend brings . (I almost fell asleep before pressing submit ).

I'm still coming up with red wine positives or inconclusive weird streaks on these $ store tests I have though . If AF keeps staying elsewhere maybe I'll throw a little change at a digi. Told hubby about the dizzy spell yesterday and he raises his eyebrows and gives me a look . I say to him "Now you've messed up and given me hope, stop it!" or something to that effect lol. Aaarrrggghhh, this is just too much .

[lyterae]

Trying not to get to hopeful, 9DPO here.

[SparkleMaman]

Lyterae Hang in there mama! Only a few more days until you'll know (yes, I know, the wait is exquisitely painful). Your chart looks beautiful to me.

Blonhrt Any news? Sending babydust your way!!

Mamacats Yeah, most days I feel pretty good about my age but since TTC #2 has taken much longer than anticipated, I have wondered if that was the hold up. I guessed that it was likely I might have elevated FSH levels and decreased ovarian reserve. But it looks like I am good to go. This gives me even greater motivation to assure 4-5 days of BDing every day until O!! Gotta take advantage of that fertile window, right?   Wait, did I miss something? You've been getting faint positives?! You could splurge for a FRER before going the digi route (the FRERs are much more sensitive).

Jjh I have fingers and toes crossed that you'll see your BFP this morning!! Not that I have a cheerleader bone in my body but I feel like raising pom poms here to root for you, mama!!! Wishing and hoping and sending up lots of good vibes for you

Katie Are you still on your night rotation? You said you'd be done before you expect O, right? A regular daytime schedule will be much more conducive to BDing. Having opposite schedules is so hard. My DH and I did that the first few years we were married, definitely stressful. My DD is very sensitive and kind and I am glad I have always been honest and open with her (at a developmentally appropriate level obviously). She is so grown up in many ways and I cannot hide my feelings from her. I know she'll be a fantastic big sister.

Sending lots of to those of you waiting to know!!

AFM CD 8. Waiting to O. I am thinking it should be on or around Valentine's Day but since I have O'd on CD 11-12 in previous months, I am watching closely. OPK was negative this morning but getting darker.

Happy Weekend everyone!! Any fun plans? We're pretty snowed in here. Snow play and cocoa all around

[deli21]

Waitin to hear how everyone else is doing!! Baby dust to everyone

[mamacatsbaby]

No, you didn't miss anything from me Sparkle. Red wine positive = BFN know what I mean?

[jjh5351]

Sparkle- thanks! I think I am out... Brown spotting this am which I am guessing will turn into full blown AF tonight... No cramping though which is totally strange considering I've had light cramping the past two days!

Mamacats- I'm totally with you... I need wine to regenerate lol!
