I'm finding the differences b/w these last two cycles fascinating:

Check out today's temp dip. Interesting stuff! Hoping everyone's weekend is starting off on the right foot .

Getting close here... I coulddddd test tomorrow but its probably WAY too early :)

Yay thats great news! That seems to be the trick, from what I have seen from other mamas on here, for getting O and sticky little guys! Good luck!

So far I've had what I'm feeling is bad pms. Trying to not get my hopes too high, well see if af shows tomorrow or monday. I have been constipated (tmi, but it's not typical for me at all) for the past week or so, had some very light spotting (only noticeable when I wiped) this am, but even after bd this morning, nothing. I'm very bloated and keep getting this weird cramp on my righ flank almost like a "stitch" when you are running? You know? Weird. But that is all for me!! Wishing everyone lots of luck this month!!

Oh and I was pretty emotional last night...but that's typical for pms

Sounds promising :) Let us know!!

Because of my funky schedule, I think I missed the actual surge. BD timing should be okay, though, since we did it on CD 8, 9, and 11. Time to chill out and distract myself for a while!

That's how my OPK was this month. It was like... streaky... so I think my LH surge was a very short window, but I definitely O'd because the tests kept getting darker and I had O pain!

Is this implantation or could I be starting AF early? Really, really hoping it's implantation but always hesitant to get too excited. I also have very tender breasts, feeling tired, and frequent urination. Could be all of the hormones or wishful thinking as well. Trying to decide when to do hpt

That sounds promising for you, but I know nothing about clomid or any other infertility treatments (yet... I probably will soon). I hope that it is implantation :)

Soooo sore boobs... and (TMI!!) stabby pains in my nether region! I know some girls a few months ago had that... so who knows! I've been real tired the past couple of days and I *think* I had implantation cramping the other day... Ugh I just always get my hopes up and then get smacked down. I'm just really hopeful since this month will be our last month seriously TTC for a bit because I really just need to take care of me. I know I'll stick with this because I'm saying it at a sane time in my life (not right when AF starts and I am a mess lol). Who knows, maybe taking the stress of TTC away will be our ticket to baby land! We shall see!

Hi everyone, I'm still hanging around.  Too nervous to move over to a DDC yet.  I got my latest beta: 100; it was 31 two days earlier so a doubling time of 28.4 hours which I'm really happy about but the #s are still low.  No spotting at all either.  I'm starting to feel more hopeful that this LO is going to stick around but my anxiety gets the better of me at times thanks to my chemical loss last month.  Wishing everyone lots of fun BDing, lots of patience during your 2WW, and of course, lots and lots of baby dust!!!

[chuord]

Jjh - it sounds promising for you this month 😃 if not I think taking the stress off is a great idea, I tried and failed miserably! You said you needed to take care of you... Have you had poor health?

[mamacatsbaby]

*sigh* I was in the middle of a reply and went to turn on scripts for a different tab and this one looks like it reloaded as well, ugh. Will BBL as I am out of time now. Cripes that's annoying . Hope you're all having a great day/had a great day .

I have my fingers crossed for you!!

Well I have pcos and I need to lose some lbs, so I've started working out and eating healthier already but I just don't think I will be able to conceive until I lose some weight :/

Mamacats- we will see you later

[CLS182]

Fingers crossed for everyone!!

I'm sitting here wondering wtf is up with this side stitch feeling that remains. How high up would I be feeling implantation? (If that is whats going on...) has anyone experienced this??

[KHughe12]

I'm still in! No sign of AF, and now she's three days late. I've taken two hpt's since the 28th, both negative. I don't really have any symptoms other than being very tired, which could be anything!

This is my first cycle off of birth control (which I took for three months), so maybe my body is just trying to get back to normal. I just wish if AF is coming that she'd get here already, and I can move on to the next cycle!

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Hopefully everyone's enjoying the weekend!

[chuord]

Jjh - I understand! I've been trying to eat healthier and lose weight too... I've lost a little, but over the last 5 years have lost a lot of muscle tone, and put on about 10kg so heaps more effort to come! I know 10 kg isn't a lot - but as I'm like 5'2" it's 2 dress sizes! Wishing you success all around xx
CLS - I'm not sure, it could be or it could be to do with digestion? I had a similar one that my natural therapist said was my illio sacral valve, between my small and large intestines... So who knows! They say abdomen pain is less specific to an area generally - Katie you would be way more useful than me here 😜
Khughe - were your cycles different /normal length before Bc? It's hard to guess - you could be of or like you said just normalizing.

Katie, dahlia, sparkle and all the other recent graduates - how's it all going for you?

Everyone here in the tww?

Afm - ff gave me cross hairs this morning for 1st march - so I made my march O... Now the wait, my chart is a little random and the day after O took a dip (back up now) if I knew how to get the link I'd post it... But I use my phone apps I no web link? So now I'm ready to watch for symptoms and waiting to poas 😜😝 let the crazy begin!

[Livnkadesmom]

Not in the TWW yet for me. CD 10 and last month I O'd on CD 20. Hoping it will happen next weekend. Guess I need to get in my seducing mode. 😉I am not gonna mention anything to DH since I scared him off last month 😒. I am gonna try and take the laid back approach and what will be will be. We'll see how that works out!

On another note, to add to JJH and Chourd. Week 3 on WW and I have lost 6 lbs. nothing to "write home about" but I keep telling myself that over time that will make a difference! Good luck ladies! I will be lurking until I am officially in the TWW.

Have to say I miss seeing Dahlia, Sparkle and Katie's kind words of encouragment. If you ladies are lurking feel free to chime in at anytime. I know everyone would love to hear updates!

[KHughe12]

Chourd, I think before bc my cycles were usually 28-29 days. It's strange! I think I will wait a week, and if nothing's different I will go in for a blood test. Hopefully you caught that egg this month!

[SparkleMaman]

Hi Mamas!! Still here, trying not to chime in too much. Despite the many months of hanging out here I'm not sure if it's appropriate or not!

Livnkades That sounds like an excellent plan!! I'd suggest planning to start your seducing 3-5 days before expected O. I am convinced our BDing before O was what made it happen this month and not many months prior when we hit -1 and day of O bunches of times (after + OPKs). That, and the Guafenesin! Wishing you much patience and seductive powers Good for you with the WW!! I am starting out this pregnancy with a bit of extra weight myself. Between becoming full time this year (with my crazy schedule and hour commute at both ends of my day) and going from 60+ miles of running a week to barely walking 10, I think I am up about 15-20 pounds. I am still a "healthy weight" but heavier than I'd like. After this little bean is born, I will be recommitting to a full aerobic routine. For now, walking feels good! And I plan to sign up for prenatal yoga this week, loved it with DD.

Chourd Ooh, very exciting - officially in the TWW!! I know it feels like it takes forever but I have a great feeling about this cycle for you! Sending you lots of good vibes

Mamacats Your chart looks beautiful!! Very promising. How are you feeling? Fx!!

Jjh Still hanging in there - Have you tested? The cramping sounds like such a good sign! I had quite a lot of uncomfortable cramping from 7-12 DPO. No IB but really crampy. And sore boobs. Thinking of you lots and keeping my fingers and toes crossed

AKK I think your numbers sound fantastic!! All within the normal value range and the doubling times are super awesome. I know it's hard to let yourself take it all in and not hold your breath but it all sounds great, mama!!

A big to everyone new!!

AFM I am wonderful, still totally flying high. I feel like a giggly Middle Schooler!! I am just bubbling over with excitement. I am more exhausted than I recall being with DD, really dragging, and the MS has begun, but I've never been so happy to be feeling tired and pukey My last HPT, Thursday afternoon without holding my pee for very long, the test line came up immediately, well before the control, and was significantly darker than the control. While I am still nervous and feeling a bit cautious, I want to enjoy every second of being pregnant!! This is a total leap of faith and I do have confidence in my body. I feel like this is a sticky bean and all the hormonal changes I am noticing confirm that for me. I miss hanging out here with you mamas!! I am hoping for BFPs for all of you this month!! Sending lots of love and hugs to you all!! Wishing much calm and patience those in the TWW and thumbs up for a good time to those waiting to O (Happy BDing!!)

Yeah I am just under 5'2 so I know what you mean! I lost 40 lbs last year and it was about 4 sizes down!

Ahh congrats!! 6 lbs is wonderful! I only ever lost 2 lbs a week on ww because I'm small to begin with so that's definitely a plus for you, lady! I'm so happy for you! Good luck seducing maybe you will find it more fun than him seducing! Lol

I'm so excited for you! I'm not getting my hopes up too much with this. 9 DPO and I tested with SMU today and nada. Soooo. Just not going to stress it and let life happen!

[chuord]

Jjh - wow I'm so impressed by the 40lbs - I'm doing ww too at the moment - not in a group I just have a propoints guide... I'm enjoying eating my favourite food while doing it 😃
Livn I think 6lbs is great too, any that is coming off and not the reverse is a good thing!
Jjh - I'm still hoping for you even though you feel like you're out, have you ever had a + that early?
Sparkle - I agree it's wonderful to hear from you, so glad you are enjoying every last sensation 😃😃 and I too hope that we all graduate this month and move on over to a ddc with you guys!

[marquess78]

so here I am. on CD5. AF is on her way out, Im just having a tiny bit of brown CM but its not that big a deal.

like I said, unless I "O" alot later that last month, the chances of getting pg are none. hubs initially got extended in WI til the 29th but they moved it up to the 22nd. Im guessing I will "O" in 10 days or so, so no stressful 2ww for me.

I forgot to post about my email from the first response people. basically they said that if there are two lines that your pregnant, end of story. I emailed them back and will be calling tomorrow :/

[chuord]

Khughe - I'm impressed that you can decide to wait... I think I'll be a test every 2 days girl ☺
Marquess - it's really rude of them to be so blunt about it all! Did you keep a journal of which dates you tested and the results? Maybe they would take that more seriously... Otherwise I'd just give it up and not let it stress you anymore - you've ordered wondfos for next time so it should be less distressing.
Afm - feeling sore and bloated around my lower tummy, lol probably from too much effort around O 😜, also mild nausea at times - but I'm only 3dpo for goodness sake!

[writeonyogamama]

mamacatsbaby my DS is 2. I feel kinda bad about nudging him to wean but I really think it's what my body needs if I want another baby bean soon. Kudos to you for hanging in with your 3 year old!

sparkle I'm glad to see you hanging around and hope to join you in your nauseous bliss soon!

livnkades good luck with your seducing. I managed to lasso my guy on CD 10. Probably too early but it never hurts to get a head start!

AKK lots of sticky vibes to you!

[Vaquitita]

Hello. My AF is 3 days late ( usually arrives on day 26, I'm now on day 29) and my bbt jumped to 99.0 this morning ( has been 98.3 post-o). I'm trying to decide whether to go buy a test or wait a couple more days. We weren't trying to get preg, though certainly don't mind. I didn't have any reason to think I would be pregnant, no obvious oopses, but now I am wondering...

[CLS182]

To the ladies with the weight loss- you are inspirational!! Way to go!!

Sparkle-congrats! And thank you for the warm welcome!!

Afm- af is due today, I've had lots of cramping so I have to believe she is coming into town soon. I had no spotting yesterday, but a little bit of spotting this morning. But the good news is now thanks to me RE I know to start taking the opk in a couple of days if this turns out to be a period!! Good luck to all, it's so cruel that Mother Nature has made pms and early pg signs so close!!

[dahlia810]

I'm still here lurking rooting you all on for bfps and sticky beans!! I'll be around, posting more when I have more time
