27, New to TTC, would love some buddies...

[thebrizneez]

Ok ladies. I'm 27,engaged, ttc for two months now, and pretty clueless though not completely. So just trying to find some ladies to discuss this month's cycle with me.

So...

I'm at CD25 of 28 days. Guessing around 12dpo since i don't chart and no OPKs. It's been weird this past week and a half. Early after O is when the symptoms hit hardest: super painful gas cramps with extreme bloating (lasted for four days until 9dpo). No sore nips after O as i usually have, but got a super stingy right nip only at 9dpo till present. Left occasionally has sensitivity. Also at 9dpo i got about 4 drops of light red spotting on tp. I never ever ever spot as long as I've had a period before AF starts. Around 7 or 8dpo i had a sharp right pain that stopped me from walking and grab my side in pain. Also tons of snappy moods and short tempered, and gurgling bubbly growls in belly from 9dpo till now but guessing just from gas.

That's me ladies. Sorry so lengthy but i want to look back if I'm preggo and give this to other ladies to help. Please feel free to be as descriptive as you please so i can dissect symptoms with ya!

When I started TTC I started symptom spotting for the first time in my life. I had never spotted before. I felt all kinds of symptoms! I was so sure I was going to get a BFP, but I didn't. The mind loves to play tricks on people lol. Wait to see if AF shows up. If it doesn't then wait about a week to test. Good luck!

Yep, what babydust said! I thought I knew my body, but once I started TTC I noticed alllll kinds of O and post-O symptoms I never remembered having before, but must have because I haven't had my BFP yet.

Just my two cents, but charting has been really helpful for me not just for pinpointing O (because I can pretty much tell even without my temps), but also for being able to compare my symptoms month to month. No matter what, EVERY cycle I seem to think I don't usually experience (fill in blank here), only to look back at my last cycle and see I made a note of the same things the last month. Charting this stuff helps me keep my symptom-spotting in check...and also my sanity.

Yeah if AF shows Sunday I'm gonna temp and chart. I'm ready to take charge! I love the support of this site. Great place to share my journey! Super excited and nervous.

I agree with the above ladies! Don't drive yourself mad like I did Cycle 1, trying to decipher if I was pregnant or not.

I wish you luck!!!!

 

[thebrizneez]

Yeah I'm just gonna take it easy... I'm in a great place mentally these days so that shouldn't be too hard! Thanks ladies.

 

[babydust0302]

I'm on cycle 5 already and I still have a hard time not driving myself crazy when AF is around the corner lol. I'm on my O week now and I've been feeling a little nauseated since yesterday. Still waiting for O. Hoping this will be our month!

 

[thebrizneez]

I'm hoping to babydust! I'm officially out this month, she showed two days early! But i started charting this morning as well so I'm excited to learn about my body all over again!
