I'm here, too About 11dpo now(cd38) I got a bfn this morning, but it could be too early so I'm not giving up hope quite yet. I waffle every few hours.. I am / I'm not/ I am / I'm not. Going a little but I'm also super busy getting ready for vacation so not having a lot of time to obsess. I'm trying to wait until Sunday to test again and if AF is coming, she should show by then I'll post an update before we leave.

gotta get back to the grind, but lots of to all

[KKmama]

Ack, Rubelin, I feel for you. We're probably going to test next Tues. (because it's my dh's bday), but I'll only be 10dpo then. I'm starting to wonder if it's such a good idea. An early bfp would be wonderful, but an early bfn wouldn't. I think that if it weren't for the special occasion, we'd be more disciplined. But AF would be due on Wednesday (I have shortish luteal phases), so I'm trying to rationalize it.

Sigh.:

I hope someone tests soon and gets some good news.

Do I belong here?

I'm either 8 days pregnant or experiencing PMS for a period I'm not expecting for 9 more days. I haven't begun charting because we only sort of began trying. I've only been off the pill for 2 1/2 months (2 cycles). I wanted to do at least 3 cycles, but we couldn't stand using condoms any more. I'm astonished that I'm even thinking I might be pregnant and the voracity with which I'm hoping it's true (since we weren't even thinking of getting serious for another few months). The first sign was nipple sensitivity. My husband jokingly said "maybe you're pregnant." I poo pooed him until I looked at the calendar and realized the first unprotected roll in the hay was on day 14 (I don't yet know if that is when I ovulate). I've been a person I don't recognize the last few days, asking people tons of questions about their first signs, crying, grumpy, peeing, gas, 2 hours of nausea (one day) etc. The problem is these symptoms can all be explained by other things like stressful work week and the fact that maybe I'm just finally reacting to coming off the pill. It's too early to test and I'm going crazy. I've had a teeny bit of spotting over the last few days and keep running to the bathroom to see if my questions have been answered (not yet.) Am I going to be like this every month?

Sorry about that Robin and Kristine...here's the updated (I think...let me know if I need to change anything) list....

Welcome Morning Dove

Hi everyone,
I'm CD22, 9 dpo. My temps have been high, but dropped a bit this morning (I didn't have 3 hours of straight sleep, though). Fertility Friend recommends I test on Tuesday, but that feels a little early to me. I went ahead and purchased 3 cheap pregnancy tests online yesterday from this place: http://www.buypregnancytests.com We may not end up using them this cycle, but I wanted to let the universe know "I'm ready" so I went ahead and purchased them!

I've had a bit of lower abdominal cramping. But, I was also very tired earlier this week and it seemed like I was peeing more. Who knows. I'm listening to my body, but trying not to judge too harshly. :

Erin- thanks for keeping up with our group! I appreciate it

to you all!

[Jodie]

Hey y'all!
Mama-wana-be thanks for the list!
I'm 8dpo and boobs are tender and feeling really tired and last two nights got up at 2AM to pee, all of this and my routine has not changed. I plan on testing at 16dpo, so I'm half way there!!

Having a party tomorrow night to celebrate my B-day on Mon.
I'll be 25 on the 25th! And if I'm pregnant I'll be due around mother's day. That would be so awesome.
Feeling happy and excited and really tired.

Good luck to everyone!

[Sarah'sMama]

Hey all. I've been lurking/reading religiously, but haven't posted much lately. I'm 13dpo right now, and I think I'll have dh bring home a test, as af is due today, and usually she comes in the morning. I'm probably jinxing myself by even hoping and typing this, but so far, no af and its 1:12 EST. We'll see. My temp went up this morning, as well, so I'm really anxious for dh to come home. Here's my chart: look here . I'll bbl to let you know.

[rubelin]

well, I'm out AF just showed up and I am SO upset. I think I'll probably just lurk for a while, O won't be due for almost a month so I'm going to try and not think about TTC for a while. The good news is that I didn't get PMS this cycle and I saw when my prog dropped, so at least next cycle I'll know what NOT to look for

Lots of sticky dust and BFPs to all of you!!

[dharmama]

Aw...Robin I'm sorry.

Welcome Sarah'sMama!!

[Jodie]

Welcome Sarah'sMama, I think your chart looks promising!

Robin~ I'm sorry AF found you.

[naturegirl]

I think I am 2 dpo. Last couple of days I have temped at different times but other signs also confirm I O'd a couple of days ago...

Anyway, I should be here awhile, hopefully really long . Trying progesterone this month. Wish me luck!

Cheryl

[Jacqueline]

Cheryl-Welcome Back! I hope the progesterone is just what you need to help the baby stick!

I'm 11 dpo, but I think AF is on her way. I've had mild cramping, a little spotting, and today my temp dipped quite a bit. I know it *could* be implantation related, but it feels more like AF. Bummer.

I sure get impatient waiting for our little one to find us! I guess he/she may have already found us but is just being highly selective about the timing. I think I learn to let go of my attachment to the timing a little each month.

I'll keep checking in here, though. I want to hear good news from others!

[MorningDove]

Hugs to those of you who have endured the arrival of the wicked woman. Two days ago I said I would only be a little disappointed if AF arrives for me, but now I feel like I will be. I really do feel pregnant. If I get AF I am suddenly going to feel like I am so much out of touch with my body.

What is implantation bleeding? I spotted twice this last week. Once I woke up in the morning with a little blood on my inner thigh, but then none when I wiped and I don't usually bleed at night even when I have my period. A day after that there was a minute amount in my underwear. I haven't had any spotting for a few days. When I was on the pill I sometimes had break through bleeding mid cycle, but I'm not on the pill anymore. Can I get break through bleeding on a regular cycle?

It is so nice to be able to read your comments and write this. Sorry if I ramble on, but I have felt so messed up the last couple of weeks and I just don't have a good friend that is willing to listen to me go on and on. I tend towards anxiety and obsessive compulsion when I am stressed anyway, although I've never felt this bad. I have the next two weeks off from work, so I'm trying to figure out why I feel so ????? The worst is that I haven't been able to sleep well the last four nights, at least. Even when I'm major stressed, I've never had so much trouble sleeping. Dh tells me to calm down and destress (in a nice way) and I just can't seem to do it.

I've been experiencing some lower back pain and I shouldn't be. I went to my chiropractor on Thursday and then again on Friday. I was so messed up, he had to do breath work before he could even touch my body. Seeing him always works, so I can't figure out why my back is hurting (but I have my suspicions).
After my second appointment, my chiropractor's wife (who handles the front desk) said that she thinks her husband thinks I am pregnant. My husband even thinks I might be.
I really want to believe I am, but I don't want to set myself up with a great deal of disappointment.

Any ideas or suggestions?

[naturegirl]

Welcome MorningDove. I am so sorry you are so : right now. As far as the spotting. Some women experience implantation spotting at about 8-12 DPO, if they are pg. Others experience some spotting during ovulaton. The lbp can definately be coming from hormonal changes in your body from pregnancy or upcoming af. I had some lbp when I was preg. much more than when I wasn't. I hope these are all good signs for you! Good luck!

Jacqueline, hope doesn't find her way. Keep us posted.

As for me...I think I am 3 DPO although ff won't give me a coverline for some reason.: This has been an especially wacky cycle!

Cheryl

[wildthing]

Well, I think I am officially back here, although I haven't gotten o confirmed from FF. I am not too optomistic about getting pg thismonth though....too many things seemd to be working against us.....

I *think* I o'ed on cd14, not sure though. But dh was terrible sick that night with a fever and I had a yeast infection that started the day before. : I got some Diflucan from the dr, but I am not sure if it worked fast enough.

Anyway, I am herre for the wait, but will try not to obsess too much.

to everyone!

[MorningDove]

After I posted this morning, I read a few threads about the earliest people have tested and gotten results, so I ran to the bathroom and decided to take one of the three tests I have - to hopefully relieve some of my anxiety.

It was positive! I made my husband come in from outside and confirm. A few hours later I peed on another stick just to make sure. Two lines there also. It isn't possible to get two false positives, is it? I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow. This has all happened so fast. First time we tried (my husband says it must have been the fact that it was a full moon) and I know before I was even supposed to get my period. We knew we could get pregnant, but I wasn't even in the mind set yet. I felt sure it would take so much longer. I think I'm scared. (I've gone straight into worrying about the fact that I feel stuff happening mostly on the left side). I'm going to go see if I can read some comforting discussions in the pregnancy forum. Anyway, I'm excited but I think I'm going to cry.

I hope the rest of you join me in this happy but confusing state soon.

[naturegirl]

Congratulations MorningDove

Donna, sorry to hear about all your obstacles this month. . Welcome to "the wait".

Congratulations, Morning Dove!!!! That's great news!!! I am sure it all will work out. Take a deep breath, and start enjoying this incredible journey towards holding your baby in your arms!

I think I am back too, wildthing, we are almost dpo buddies. I ovulated yesterday, but still have to have it confirmed by 3 high temps. This is my cycle!!!! Want to hold that deer totem baby in May. I refuse to believe otherwise!
