Calling all symptom spotters!

Like I said, I started 1dpo, so youre not crazy. Wanting something so bad and trying for any amount time will make you impatient during the 2ww.
 
Yes, very true. I just wish I could keep my mind off it so I don't get as disappointed if it doesn't happen.
 
Hey girls! I'm back and have been following the thread too. Ashley, I hear you with the distractions! I'm about 9-10dpo now and trying my hardest not to SS! Christmas was a wonderful distraction, but I can't help wandering back here and checking countdowntopregnancy. I have a problem. I really can't bear the disappointment I had last month again. After 12 cycles it's just hard. :)
 
Yeah, I bet. This is cycle 6 for me and I'm just so tired of all the bfns and the emotional roller coaster of am I/am I not. But yet I keep hopping right back on for another ride. :/.

I hope this is your month. I can't imagine twice as long as what I've already done, but when you really want something... Lots and lots of baby dust to you!
 
Hey Ladies!

Thanks for the luck Mamawanabe! :D

I am still waiting on AF! I am now CD30 and had my withdrawal bleed on 4th December after finishing BCP after 10 years! For the past 2 weeks my body has been doing crazy things including waves of nausea & headaches but the most prominent thing has to be my stomach cramps. They started off mildly like pulls & twinges over 2 weeks ago and have slowly progressed to AF type cramps now! These I have had for the past week. I now feel ridiculously bloated too :( On several occasions I thought I may have come on but it was just heavy CM (sorry TMI). The other day I had very obvious EWCM (like a big glob - sorry again haha) but it has eased off again now.

I took a HPT on new years eve as I was going out and it was negative which is what I expected (I was a little disappointed though) I am just totally confused now though...please body behave yourself! At least give me an AF!
 
Hey everyone! I'm back as well! Have any of you used ovulation kits? Im considering trying one next month. All the numbers are different on all the charts I have for when I should ovulate, but I had major cramps on the 31st, so I'm hoping that was it. But I feel like my cm hasn't really given me too many clues to help. Tell me what you guys think...

It looks like you may have O'd on cd23, if your temp keeps rising, I'm sure FF will agree.

GL and lots of :dust:
 
Thanks Emma! How are you doing? How's little bean?

I haven't had any real symptoms today but work's kept me too busy to symptom spot, which is actually a relief.

Shopaholic-you are probably just adjusting to getting off bc. :/. Some people don't get af for a few months after stopping it. Hopefully it's a bfp though!

Stitch-I'd say either the 27th-28th or the 31st for ovulation. FX for you!
 
Well I think I'm back in the 2WW. I'm not really sure actually. I never got a true positive OPK and I was taking them 3 or 4 times a day. (I think I have an addiction to peeing on a stick bahaha.) They kept getting darker and darker and then for like 2 days they were as dark as the control line but never darker. Then they just got lighter and lighter. I kept taking them for several days just to make sure but now there is no line at all. I've taken so many OPKs that I don't even know what days they were close to being positive. I honestly can't remember. It could have been 3 days ago it could have been 5, I have no clue. So now not only do I not technically know if I ovulated but if I did I don't know when lol. I really need to start temping but my sleep schedule is never the same. I either sleep for 12 hrs or 2. I wake up all throughout the night so if I did temp it wouldn't be accurate.

As far as symptoms go I have been feeling nauseous but I think I'm getting sick. My husband is feeling the same way so unless he is having sympathy symptoms we are sick lol. I have been spotting a little and I mean very little all day today and yesterday but when I just went to the bathroom there was quite a bit of dark red/brown blood. It was kinda strange and really took me by surprise. I kinda feel like a weirdo because I just started at it trying to figure out what it was from. It reminded me of starting AF but I know I shouldn't be yet. Even though I dont know when I ovulated I don't think its been long enough for it to be implantation bleeding. I could be wrong tho.

Baby dust to everyone!!!!:dust::dust::dust::dust:

I have an erratic sleep schedule. I sometimes get to sleep 10-12 hours, sometimes I only sleep a total of 3 hours. I wake constantly. However, I try to take my temps at the same time every morning (4am). It is the only consistant time where I should have had, at least, 3 hours of sleep and it is fine. The constant waking, the change in schedule; because it is what my body is used to, my charts are pretty accurate. I have a definite spike in temp the morning after the only pos opk that I had and when AF decides to show herself, my temps drop. If your body is used to the schedule, it could still benefit you to bbt chart. GL and lots of :dust:
 
Ah 2WW... how I love and hate you. FF finally told me I O'd on the 31st, so now I'll be testing around the AF date... the 11th. I'm 3dpo with super sensitive nipples. Good luck everyone!!! :thumbup:
 
I've decided to wait until monday to test. I will be 17dpo then and have a 92% chance of getting a positive, if I am pregnant. GL ladies!
 
Okay... so I tested again and I think I see something? Most people actually seem to agree with me which is absolutely freaking me out as that never happens. I'm so sure it will be bfn tomorrow, but...

I think I see something, though I'm not sure if it is a line or glare from a light source. FX'd for you!

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to try to temp next cycle and see how it goes because this cycle is driving me nuts and I have no idea what is going on with my body.

Warning! The next paragraph is probably way to much TMI but I need advice if anyone is willing to read it.

I started spotting on Tuesday. It was very very light spotting and definitely brown. Yesterday it got a little bit heavier but still definitely brown. Today it has gotten even heavier and now looks brown at times and dark red at times. It seems like its enough to possibly be a period but I usually spot for a couple hrs up to 12 hrs before my period and then start it. When I start it, it is bright red but this is not. I'm really not sure what is going on. If it was my period wouldn't it be bright red by now. Also my second day of my period is very heavy and while the spotting is getting heavier its not the consistency in color or heaviness of my normal period. It seems like too much to be implantation bleeding but not enough to be period. Its more sticky and stretchy not like a normal period at all. Its also been starting and stopping and is not like a constant flo. Sometimes I go to the bathroom and there is a decent amount and sometimes I go and there is none (and when I say none I mean absolutely no sign not even a drop).

I'm sorry like I said that was probably TMI. I just really don't know what to think. I guess I should mention that I'm not sure when I ovulated because of OPKs acting strange but I thought it was in the last 4 or 5 days. If this is AF I think it means she came like 2 or 3 days after I ovulated and about 11 days early which seems kinda an extreme amount of time to be early to me. I've been early like a week at most but I wasn't tracking my cycle then. Anyways if anyone has any idea what this could be or if you have had this happen to you before please help. The longer it goes the more I think I should just count myself out this month but I don't want to be out this month. I was hoping it would happen this month.
 
It is brown because the O2 is no longer enriching the blood, in other words its just old blood and it is ok to have. It is common to have a weird period every now and then. So it could very well be your period, but it is also possible to be IB. If it doesn't start to resemble a normal period, then I would give it a couple of days to build HCG and test. If it does start to resemble one, then I would count it as a period and begin prep for next cycle. Hope this helps!
 
Well guys... I thought I was actually getting things right this cycle, but my temp this morning dropped way below coverline and I'm only 4dpo. :nope: Any ideas? Should I just disregard the temp? Could changing vitamins do that? I had been taking a multi but started prenatals last night. My boobs are sore as all get out and my nipples hurt to even touch my shirt.
 
Individual temps really don't mean anything. If many are low, then it means that your progesterone level is low. From my experience, it looks like it could be a fallback temp, one when a surge of estrogen causes 1 or 2 temps to fall shortly after O. As long as it goes back up, then it is ok. Remember that there are many things that can cause your bbt to be inaccurate (including number of blankets, mouth breathing, environment temps) all of these can lower the temp in your mouth. Thats why it is more accurate to temp below, though I don't. I just trained myself to sleep with my mouth closed (it also helps with reducing snoring) and piled on the blankets because I'm always so cold. Before I did this, my temps were a little bit more erratic. Hope this helps. GL and lots of :dust:
