thanks for the welcome Rainbow!
and sorry for my double (really long because I talk way too much) post! I had no idea it happened until I came back here to catch up....and I cannot figure out how to remove it!!
Congrats Emerald! That is a great line for 9 dpo from my experience of stalking hpt pictures.
Red- the itchy hands and feet are something I have never heard of before, but I would definitely take it as a good sign if your doctor mentioned it!!
All the cramping seems like a good sign! I had that a lot with my second pregnancy in the first few weeks.
I have been cramping since thursday, and I had a couple of hot flashes (totally not normal for me), and I have been a little fatigued, feeling a bit sick and being averterd from smells I typically am not (like the guinea pig cage yesterday!) but I am only 4-5 dpo, LOL, and that is even *if* I O'd on thursday-friday..and these are also AF symptoms (minus hot flashes/feeling)
The way I have been feeling lately, I almost wonder if I am actually ovulating now? But I took an opk on Friday, which wasn't pos, but was dark, and took on Saturday late morning and it was lighter, and Sunday it was barely visable...which makes me think my surge might have been some time before the darkest Friday test....I had watery cm until sunday night and now it is drying up but still a bit creamy.. but I still feel crampy! Last night, I even had the infamous "thought AF was coming WAY early cramps" and ran to the washroom, expecting to possibly even have a bowel movement..(sorry tmi!) and NOTHING!....maybe O? Maybe not? I have no idea...
Don't want to get my hopes up though!! And I will BD tonight just incase, although I doubt I'd even catch an egg if I did O late...
I think the universe is also working with me to stop my obsession....not only are the hpts/opks I ordered NOT here yet (when they should be), but I also misplaced my phone (in my own house of course, on silent...), so now I cannot obsessivly google symptoms or stare at my chart or any of those fun things!!!! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who needs to be told to step away from the pee sticks! It is pretty much a hobby for me from 10 dpo onwards.
But I suppose it is for the best because for once I can actually relax (a bit) during the tww...Probably a good thing since I will probably start temping next cycle and then obesss even more!
