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!

I lost me weight with ww before so you'll be successful I am sure! If you have a smart phone search for ww apps! They go just by points I think to be sneaky lol but as far as a positive, I've never had a real positive. I had a false one on an frer that was probably an early loss around this time in my cycle. I'm just hesitant but I'm a sucker for POAS!

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 :/

It'll probably be nice to have a month off for you! And that is sooo stupid about frer! Obviously you didn't have an early loss either bc AF wasn't horrible, right? And you went to the doctor! That's so horrible.

I didn't have any reason to think I would be pregnant, no obvious oopses, but now I am wondering...

Sounds promising! I say test but I am horrible about testing frequently lol

[mamacatsbaby]

Ok, finally I'm back! If this reply gets lost I will lose it .

GL Primal! What are you distracting yourself with?

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

Welcome adiejan! Oh that would be amazing if this was your cycle . Maybe this link could help with when to test? Got my for you!

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!

I'm glad that you're feeling good with either outcome jjh. Are sore tata's usual after O for you? They're not for me and I don't think it's ever been an indicator of pregnancy in the TWW for me. They got sore and huge around six weeks or so I think each time. I've had some crampyness and spikeyness in the old uterus that felt like implantation but . Honestly I feel like I'm pg. We'll see how it all shapes up in the end. When are you testing?

When I finally do get preggers AngelKissed I won't be jumping right into a DDC either. I will join one and eventually participate as I have with all my pregnancies, kind of like a snapshot in this moment of my life kind of thing, but not right away like I did with the other three pregnancies. A once bitten kind of thing for me I guess. Yay for no spotting! And I hope your betas continue to bring you peace of mind as they rise.

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!

Hmm, no experience with anything like this KHughe. I haven't taken HBC in about, hmm, 13, 14 years? And when I went off the pills it took over a year for my cycles to get back to my normal. GL! I hope you get some answers soon one way or another.

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!

GL with the seduction doll!

Geez, well that's a pretty crappy response from them . I don't think customer service exists really in a lot of businesses anymore. Go Wondfo's then!

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!

.
Yeah, he's not taking it in the best of spirits writeon . But it really is time for us. If you feel it's time for you guys, don't feel too bad. I know, easier said. I feel sad sometimes about an end to this part of our relationship but I know that there's more beyond the nursing for us too. Weaning is another reminder of how big he's getting so, so fast but . It's such an emotional bag of beautiful chaos this parenting thing!

Well I'd test but that's just me . How long is your LP right now?

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!!

Alright, time to get the plan into action!

Hi Sparkle! Glad you're still riding the bliss!

Me, 9DPO today. Took a test this morning with SMU or TMU (I'm peeing so much I don't remember) just 'cause and BFN which I expected as I've never seemed to be an early positive HPT kinda gal. My LP has gone anywhere b/w 11-14 days so, meh. We'll see...

Hope the week is starting off nicely for you ladies!

My LP is 11 days, my temp shift happened on day 16, I'm currently on day 30. I don't think I can wait any longer, I'm going to go get a test this afternoon. Though I'll still have to wait till morning... I'm getting rather excited at the thought of a new baby. Last night I had a very realistic dream that I was out with my family and holding a baby girl, she even had a name! Emma Elizabeth. Idk where that came from!

[lyterae]

Back for another TWW! I'm waiting for cross-hairs but I'm fairly certain that I O'd yesterday. This is our first time really trying to get pregnant and it's a very different experience from just letting it happen. At night I'm weighing my options of do I go to sleep or am I close enough that I should really have sex to better my chances? Very different.

[chuord]

Writeon - I agree, you know your body best and if its time to wean then its time, gl with it!
Vaquitita - have you tested yet? I would be by now - so exciting! That dream could be a good sign!
CLS - how are you traveling? AF arrive?
Mamacats - ooh getting close to expecting a result... The signs all seem positive for you fx
Dahlia, akk, sparkle - hi!
Literate - woohoo for O, the wait for crosshairs is annoying but lol.
Everyone else - any more news?

[ultrafighter]

hmmm Coming on your coat tails is becoming a habit for me, chuord.... haha

I had cramps for about 20 hours on Friday night/Saturday (nearly exactly a week before AF is expected to arrive), and nothing since then.  No gut feelings or anything like that one way or the other, though.  I'm just.... here.

I have a confession to make.  I had the 2nd HPT of multi-pack in my vanity drawer from a previous purchase when we wondered if our BC had failed (it hadn't), and I've had no reason to use it until recently.  But I held off and held off knowing that it's just too early.  However, I did use it today but under all the wrong circumstances. lol  So it's a BFN, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt.  I'm 7 or 8 DPO at the earliest (no exact knowledge for one reason or another) so not only is AF not due for another 6 days or so, but I also peed mid-afternoon instead of first thing in the morning.  I know I know.  Mainly I just wanted to use the test up to have an excuse to buy a fresh one next weekend because the expiration date on this one is 9/2013, but I was hoping for a BFP surprise.

[mamaBlue]

Just stopping in to say that I'm still in my TWW at 9dpo. I feel completely normal, lol. Zero interesting things to report. I'm not really feeling the urge to test, amazingly, so I guess that means my nerves are holding steady.

I've been lurking on this thread a few minutes here and there the past few days.. I know I don't say much, but I'm hoping for good things for all of you.

[Vaquitita]

Well I went out this afternoon and bought a test. I couldn't even wait till morning, I took it as soon as I got home and... it's a BFP!!!! part of me is dancing with joy , part of me is freaked out cause this will be #4 for us , and part of me is wondering if I need to worry about negative consequences because I've been taking birth control pills . I was taking the progesterone only one, but not consistently (obviously) lately. I've never had a miscarriage, so not really any reason to suspect that I will this time either, but just suddenly worried that something will happen.

***eta*** ok, I did a quick search on this, and my fears seem to be groundless.

[CLS182]

Hrmmm...can't figure out how to quote replies in my phone...but congrats vaquitita!!!! Best of luck to you!!!

Chourd: still not a real af, just crappy spotting stuff. Felt pukey today but idk could be all in my head!! If nothing changes I suppose I might test??? Idk seems like I'm out... but how am I supposed to follow my re's instructions for bw and opk if I'm not actually bleeding?? So frustrating...channeling positive energy and trying to find the calm I had a few days ago, but it's tough!! How

Kudos to everyone here it seems like there's a lot of positivity and willpower this month!!

Grrrr, it's really annoying when AF plays games like that . Hope she comes on for you CLS and that you find your calm again .

Oh I have been testing lol I can't help it. More on that later in this post. Basically I can't track the boob soreness ever because it seems to happen at random points in my cycle. Whoo knows?! When will you be testing again? Tomorrow?

Use up the last one tomorrow morning? Sounds like a plan to me lol!

Congrats lady!!!

So I am a glutton for punishment. I POAS every morning because I am a freeeeak and I went to throw something away in the trash can a few minutes ago. Well the hpts from this morning and yesterday were sitting on top... So I looked. And there is NO second line on one and then a very visible, but still faint, PINK second line on the other. I know it's probably just evap and I am stupid but ugh I couldn't help it! Ill take a pic later when hubby is in the bedroom or something lol!

[chuord]

Primal - lol good timing for us both with posting then!

Mama blue - good to see you back in the tww, here's hoping its happening under the radar

Vaquita - woohoo!!! That is awesome, glad you found evidence to quash your fear... Now you can enjoy - is dh happy?

CLS I still have my fingers crossed for you, keep us posted! Otherwise I agree with mamacats - bring on AF so you can get to next cycle.

[katiecornflakes]

I'm still here reading along! Been crazy at work so mostly reading on my phone where it's impossible to do personal replies. But I'm so glad there's so much possibility brewing here! I am cheering all of you on every day! Can't wait to see some more BFPs!!

I'm doing fine. Feeling well. A little tired but other than that just fine. Been testing every day to watch the line get darker and chill my stressed out brain but I've promised myself I'm stopping that tomorrow!

Can't wait for all of you to join the DDCs!! xoxo

[PrimalJoy]

Reading, reading. So happy for you, Vaquita! Congrats!

I'm 4 DPO, and will hopefully wait another week before testing. That seems very far away! Lots of school/work/kids to keep me busy, but the mind does keep returning there. Part of me is honestly terrified of being pregnant again, just because I hate the nausea so much! I also must work full time throughout, and it's so much harder when you can't stop and rest when you need to. With my last one, I had to sneak out to my car for naps during my lunch break!

[jjh5351]

Ok so excuse the nasty sink. Obviously the top one is the line one. Does it look pink? I just tested again and nothing, but I haven't been holding it. Ugh why did I do this to myself?!

Bwahahahahaha! Omg, this had me rollin'! Ooh, so excited for you! Totally stalking this thread to see your daily addictions lol. And I think I'll test again 11DPO so Wednesday and if still no dice 13DPO. After that if I'm still getting the lonely line maybe I'll test with something other than a $store cheapie and if that's a bust then I'll wait for AF to come and set fire to all my presents and such . If she does come for me though, I don't think it will be b/c we didn't conceive. Something or some things just didn't line up to make for a sticky baby so then, back to the drawing board. Again. Booooo...

Hi katie! Have you taken your exam yet?

Me, I am so dang tired! But when I fall asleep with the kids it's like I never took a time-out for the day . So here I sit .

I get the all day/all night nausea but no throwing up pretty bad. I've worked PT with two of my pregnancies and that was rough enough. The thought of FT makes me .

Looks pink to me! Will be watching for an update tomorrow. for you!

[katiecornflakes]

Ooh jjh that totally looks positive to me! I hope it's not a nasty evap!

Mamacat- I hope you see that second line and AF stays away! I took my exam the morning after I got my BFP last week. Whoops! Not sure how it went. It was tough and I was a little distracted. Lol.

[jjh5351]

Mamacat- fingers crossed for you to have a sticky one! I'm seriously such a weirdo. I don't know why I do this.

Katie- I hope it's not evap but I'm not getting my hopes up too much! It was literally from 14 hours ago lol.

So I just had a freak out... My dad can keep me on his insurance until I am 26 even though I am married... So I am just nervous how this will work out if I am pregnant... Ughhhh I knew I should have gotten my own insurance when I had the
Chance.

[mamaBlue]

Vaquitia - Congrats! I have four and it's great!

jjh - I see two lines! Wahoo! 

Who's next? This group is on a roll!
