8dpo, looking for fellow testers!

[Webby]

Sarah, that's excellent news. Good luck with everything! It gives me hope as we've been trying for 11 months.

Canadian - keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow's test. Keep us posted.

I'm doing okay - every now and then my nipples seem sensitive or tingly but less and less often. Felt some nausea today but that actually isn't too uncommon for me for AF. Apart from that, I seem to be lacking in symptoms. I usually get sore heavy feeling breasts before AF and round ovulation but have only had little bouts of it, nothing continuous. Will still test of Christmas morning if AF doesn't show. If it's a bfn, I'll be okay as I have a nice day planned

Got my BFP today. Can't quite believe it. Merry Christmas xx

Hello Canadian Moose!

Just to share my story....

I am a36 , and very strong stomach, never sick. I started to take the prenatal vitamins some 3 months ago and i had ALL SORTS of strange " symptoms"....Cramps after ovulation ( I never have any!), metallic taste in my mouth ( I never have any!), sickness (nearly throwing up), each month after ovulationfor couple of days. With all these "symptoms" there was no pregnancy. I asked in the pharmacy, and the pharmacist is taking same prenatals like me and said these are sometimes, our body reactions to these strong vitamins. She has the same ones.
BUT, the 3rd month, we finally TTC, on the right day, adding everything possible that can naturally enhance the chances to conceive, and we made it! And, I had all those symptoms again! Metallic taste, sickness, cramps ( the cramps felt different this time though!)
So, your case could be 50- 50% but just wanted to say that the vitamins CAN cause some odd contraindications that might sometimes lead to the disappointment.
Anyhow, be relaxed, love your life and good luck!

Wow!!!! Congrats, Webby!!!! That's two bfp's!!!! That's amazing and I'm so excited for you and Sarah!!

Welcome Zana!! Thanks for the info. It certainly does help to have some first hand experience!!

AFM, I officially had my temp drop beginning Friday and AF reared her ugly head Sat morning, right on time. But after 12 months of trying I have high hopes next cycle! I start clomid 50mg on Wednesday. Let the games begin! OPK's have never been accurate with me so I'll probably just DTD every other day with DH for two weeks. That should be enough time, right?

I start clomid day 5. I'm thinking begin DTD day 9 when I stop with clomid and keep going until day 22. That should cover all bases I think, right?

Yeah it was definitely the Prenatals, Af started after we had sexy time for Christmas night. I'm ok with it though because I think it was my other side this month (the missing ovary side). So hopefully next month I'll have an Ovulation and get a BFP for my mom's Birthday, and husband's. Might take the prenatals in the weeks before ovulation but hold them off while in the TWW just so it doesn't mess with my cycle (was getting huge boosts of estrogen when taking them and my progesterone levels were dropping)

Morning everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas or is having a wonderful Chanukah!

So I'm not sure but I might be having morning sickness. 😳 I ate pretty crappy yesterday but I've never had stomach cramping like that before. It started later on in the evening and I kept feeling like I had to throw up but nothing came out. I kept trying to go to the bathroom but that didn't help either. The cramping and nausea literally woke me up throughout the night. It felt like I had a hangover. I still don't feel back to 100% and I am thinking if this is not a pregnancy symptom then this really sucks. I also peed several times throughout he might. I'm on dpo 11 but my little cheapie tests haven't come in yet so I don't know if it's worth it to buy a test yet. Thoughts?

And if this is what morning sickness feels like, this is really gonna suck.

Hi Pinky3. When are your tests supposed to arrive? A FRER will be fairly accurate at this point if you wanted to break down and get it!!

Never had morning sickness with my first pregnancy (ended as a chemical) but I did have food aversion and that was bad enough! Try some ginger to calm your stomach. Or peppermint?

Yay Webby! Congratulations feel free to private message me, we are bump buddies!

My beta at12 DPO was 64 and yesterday at 16 DPO it was 320, so more than quadrupled in 4 days. We are very excited.

How is everyone else?
