2ww Valentine Day BFP Ladies!

[WanderingStar]

So last night I had the ewcm & I was crazy horny again the same way I was on the 30th. So I started thinking I had my O last night instead of a week ago like I thought.

Then I had a dream about apples last night, big red juicy apples & I was eating one and it was SO delicious. Yum.

So I looked it up.

"To dream that you are eating an apple, denotes harmony, pleasure, and fertility. In a biblical sense, eating an apple symbolizes your sexual appetite, lustful desires, and sexual awareness as associated with the apple in the Garden of Eden."

Ha!! I guess that's true considering how fricken randy I felt. Could have been fertile last night then.. hmph. We did have sex but I still think my O was on the 30th.

 

[Nessicle]

ha ha ha oooh very interesting!

I was really horny yesterday too and I ov'd on 31st wasn't horney after that but yesterday and today I am!! I have tons of creamy yellowy cm too I've never known anything like it!

Maybe it's the EPF?!!

Hi Tina, that's how I felt last month but I wasn't pregnant. I think we can trick ourselves into thinking that we are, but that gets tricky in itself because we could really be pregnant! I know most women say they didn't feel much different from usual except for one or two things out of the ordinary.

 

[WanderingStar]

Tina,

I've only had mild cramping on and off. I have been going pee a lot, I thought I was having some slightly yellow CM too, but then I couldn't be sure if it was just really dark urine for some reason. I have been drinking plenty of water so no reason why the sudden change in urine color.

My cramping has been bordering more on gassy in my lower abs, and in my lower back. I've also felt really sexual, and I have been craving chocolate like a fein, and had a bit of an acne outbreak so I think my PMS is starting to kick into gear, just a lot less intrusive this month.

Usually it's really debilitating. Oh and I did have some mood swings yesterday.

I'm not crossing my fingers for myself this month, but I am for all of you. I'm trying to be realistic for myself just because I always convince myself 'this is the month' and it really sucks when it's not.

 

[inkdchick]

Wandering star, I know how that feels, have had 3 chemicals in the last 7 months but never had cramping this early its just really wierd.., it feels like a switch has been turned on and i feel so different in myself but thats probably due to my age , am asshamed to say im 43 and trying !! Tina

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Tryforbaby2 - I'm curious about why you were referred to a specialist, I hope you don't mind my asking. You've had a baby with your husband and it hasn't been quite a year that you've been trying for your second, right? I'm holding out for at least a year before I ask a doctor about our first try, but definitely hoping neither one of us have to worry about it because THIS WILL BE OUR MONTH : )

I love the apple dream WanderingStar- that kicks butt!

Nessicle- thanks for the info on EPF- that is super interesting.

I'm going to try and hold out on testing until the Friday after Valentine's. My period is due on the 15th and I've been as much as 5 days late since I went off the pill. I hate to be a party pooper but I've taken two HPTs the day before AF arrived and I just don't want to go through that again. I may feel differently next weekend though- we'll see!

Speaking of poopers- I had gas on Tues, Weds, and Thurs which is very unusual for me : ) And slight cramping...

Hi Tina!

No course I don't mind!

Yep I've had cramping from 3dpo and it's getting slightly crampier as the days go by. Had nausea and dizzy spells, not had sore boobs really but my nipples were very sensitive and they're very prominant and red at the moment!

My CM is very creamy, tons of it and it has a yellow colour to it - TMI moment but when I go to the toilet I have a look at my bits and there is tons of the yellowy cm there in my bits if you know what I mean - have taken to babywiping myself regularly cos it feels gross!!

 

[goddess25]

I have been pregnant 3 times so far and I have 1 child and with all of them I knew. I had lots of CM off and on in the very early stages. I had very low abdominal cramping from 4-5 dpo and i peed alot each time too.

So you never know! Good Luck to all of you.

 

[WanderingStar]

Oh yeah Nessicle, I wanted to look into that. Very interesting information, maybe give credibility to all of those women who claimed they felt symptoms even though we all know there are naysayers and Dr's who take away from the fun of that. Would be nice to have scientific back-up so to all of you who say 'you can't possibly feel symptoms 1dpo' kiss our scientific discovery butts.

inkdchick, you don't have to feel ashamed. We all do things at our own time in life. No worries about it at all. I'm only starting now at 25 because I have a feeling it's going to take me years to get pregnant. Nobody should look down on you for your age, that's ridiculous.

LOL @ Jaimie's pooper comments.

ha ha ha ha ha

I swear I am not imagining these symptoms. Something just feels different in me too, I've never had cramping 3dpo so it has to be something different unless by thinking of cramping I'm making my uterus cramp!!!

that's what I've had my abdo is really gassy and feels tender to touch. Adnd I'm craving chocolate - I had a choc bar for breakfast! I usually can take it or leave it being more of a savoury person!

I wanted to beat my OH up in the Asda last night, everything he said I was defensive and irritable lol poor lad!

 

[Tanikit]

4dpo here and I am getting my usual signs - bloatedness, my boobs are bigger and this isn't something I normally notice and generally tugging in my abdomen (though this is probably due to being bloated) I am very very tired today. I read my journal from before I knew I was pregnant with my daughter and the only thing I noticed then before doing a test was that I felt like AF was coming 5 days before it was due. (And I had no suspicions then that I was even pregnant as we had not been actively ttc)
By 13 dpo when I tested I had started feeling a bit faint and I was much less grumpy than I am for that time of the month. So I think I won't know anything for another 4+ days at the earliest.

 

[WanderingStar]

"In humans, modern pregnancy tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). hCG is not present until after implantation, which occurs six to twelve days after fertilization.[25] In contrast, EPF is present within hours of fertilization. While several other pre-implantation signals have been identified, EPF is believed to be the earliest possible marker of pregnancy.[8][26] The accuracy of EPF as a pregnancy test in humans has been found to be high by several studies."

Imagining it now, a test to test EPF. Those things would be out of stock, and then we would have to console each other 1 dpo and say, 'well there is still chance. That test could have been off. Maybe you haven't ovulated yet after all. Maybe the EPF just isn't strong enough to show up yet, I read a study that in some women it's not." .. haha.

And instead of having a 2ww where we could symptom spot and obsess like cray that would be obsolete and we'd have in place of that a 4 - 6 week wait until our next O.

Ahh but nobody would be able to resist the allure of the EPF test.

We're all doomed!

 

[Nessicle]

hahahaha

Can you imagine it?! We'd need to set up like an AA group or something but called SSA
"symptom spotters anonymous"

 

[WanderingStar]

I don't know how the women managed in the days when pregnancy tests weren't available. If they all had wacky periods and missed periods the way we do how the heck did they know they were 'with child'?

 

[Nessicle]

I think the ol' 'missed period(s)' was the key!

I couldnt cope I know that much ha

 

[WanderingStar]

yeah but we all miss a period once in a while right? I've been late, gone 3 months or more without one.. it's just strange to me. They seemed to know instantly, like they had some sort of biological ability to know when they were pregnant. I'm saying, before the obvious symptoms of sickness and belly growing.

I want an EPF test now. Then we wouldn't have to be so tortured with our symptom spotting.
