Calling all symptom spotters!

[StitchFan]

My AF is supposed to show up on my birthday, the 15th, so my best birthday and christmas gift would be for her not to show up! hahaha

Oh, don't worry about it. By all means, go to sleep when you're tired. You and that baby need rest!

Ooooh but I'm excited to see your results! I don't need to get up for anything in the a.m, so I'll try and stay awake!

And Stitch, that would be amazing!! When are you going to test? on the 15/16th?
I'm not even supposed to be testing until the 7th, so we'll see!

I'm probably going to Test on the 15th. I've been having really strange cycles since I quit bc. I ended up not having af at all my last 4 months, and it really scared me, so we decided it was time to quit. It may be tmi, but I really have a emotional tie to nature, so I really wanted to conceive while we were at our inlaws way out in the sticks in a cabin, so I could tell my baby he or she was made in the beauty of nature, where we belong. Maybe my prayers to Mother Earth worked! I'm having serious cramping right now at my left hipbone.

I was wondering, for those of you who have conceived before, were your symptoms similar to your mothers? My mother keeps telling me how she was sick every time and for her entire pregnancy, and that she was sick as soon as she conceived.

Emma and Ashley- I looked at both of your pictures. It may just be my laptop but I can't see a second line . I feel bad telling you all no but like I said it may just be my computer. Everyones computer views colors and stuff differently so hopefully thats my problem. Good luck though I really hope you all are!

Hehe that's why I asked Ashley if she was sure But don't worry. We value honesty here However - just taken another test of a different brand - got another line and the time isn't even up yet!! Will try post another pic when time is up and if it's still there!!

Sorry the quality is so rotten!

CONGRATS!!!!Definitely a BFP!!!!!

Hey Ladies,
Thank you for all your positivity! I just nipped to the toilet (TMI WARNING) and I had a little blob of very faint pink discharge. Hope the witch isn't on her way! I'm 10DPO...

I had this yesterday and totally freaked. Turned out it was nothing to worry about! I was 10dpo yday too. I think mine might have been implantation bleeding.
FX for you x

 

[Ladybuggz]

Awesome to hear that you had it too! I was so worried that it was an early sign of AF, never thought it could be implantation, it was a very tiny amount. Fingers crossed we get our BFPs!

 

[mamawanabe21]

lots of sticky to you

 

[Ladybuggz]

Thank You! Lots of Baby Dust to you too!
I've noticed that we've both WTT for two years! I've been trying since October (early days) but would LOVE a positive! Were you also on the pill? Have you found that your cycles are quite regular since coming off BC? My first cycle was 28 days, so hoping that my body's bounced back to normal!

Today was the first day I've charted my bbt, and it thought it was really low... 97.8 ... is anyone else usually low? I must be cold hearted

 

[Bmama]

Can you see this?

I zoomed in on it but haven't done any other edits.

I swear there's a line even if you can't see it in the picture. I'm just not sure if its the indent.

Possibly a very faint one! How many dpo are you?
Looking forward to it getting darker over the next few days

oooh I think I might see a very faint one Ashley! that it gets stronger these next few days!!! I can't believe one day away and I've missed so much! Going through all the posts makes me super excited for everyone's Christmas BFPs!

Emma THIS is totally a BFP!!! No doubt in my mind about line eye congrats sweetie I had such a good feeling that you were preggo FX you can keep it a secret from your OH I know I would have a hard time but at least you have your mum to chat to and confide in! for a H & H 9 months!

 

[Love0709]

I see it too Emma! Congrats! H&h 9 months!

 

[Smashley25]

Thanks, bmama! I really hope so. I tested again a few minutes ago and it's either about the same as this morning or even lighter. :/. The ic was completely white. Hoping if I test again with fmu, it'll be darker tomorrow. I'm not too bummed out. I'll just hope it's because it wasn't fmu. It was only about a two and a half hour hold but I couldn't wait any longer!

 

[Bmama]

StitchFan welcome and congrats on what sounds like IB bleeding!! You are planning to test the 15th? That's closer to when I want to test! I wanted to hold out until Friday/Saturday (when AF is due for me) but I'm not sure if I can make it! According to FF I am 11 dpo so I could get a faint positive but I'm nervous that it'll be negative and I'll get my hopes up I loved your idea about conceiving in the woods!! I'm big into nature too! We were up at my parents while I O'd over Thanksgiving and if we ended up conceiving this cycle it'd have been on a blow up mattress not exactly how I dreamed it, but I wouldn't be upset if it happened

Emma- I took a look at your chart earlier and it looks like your temps are rising back again! Looking triphastic to me hun!!! Baby dust to you!

This is my first month charting, but on 8dpo my temp dipped from (7dpo) 97.7 to 97.2, and today it was up to 98.1. Hoping this is a good sign and not the usual for my body!! Other than this observation Not much to report on my end, I spent the day working and feeling "sick", wavering between headachy, nauseous, tired, and gassy Seriously my OH is staring to get offended! I somehow managed to hold it together at work. I was honestly too headachy to be on the computer so this is my first time today (unusual for me). Maybe while I'm out tomorrow I'll pick up some tests and take one just to get it over with! It's true waiting is the hardest part! Hope everyone is feeling better than I am! to us all!

Today was the first day I've charted my bbt, and it thought it was really low... 97.8 ... is anyone else usually low? I must be cold hearted

I get cold too (lowest this chart is 96.8) but this could be because I need a new BBT. Are you using an actual basal body thermometer? I'm not sure if I am so next cycle I'm getting one I know for sure is, and maybe I'll see less fluctuations in my temp. I think everyone's body fluctuates in different ranges, so what might be cold for someone might be hot for the other. FX you're having an implantation dip in temp!

 

[Love0709]

Pretty choked right now. 12dpo and just had some brown streaks in my cm. This is pretty common a few days before AF for me. Guess I'm out. Good luck to the rest of you ladies!

 

[Smashley25]

My pre-o temps are usually between 96.8-97.3 and post o is 97.8-98.1. Since I ovulated, my temps have been nearly the same every day. Really weird. I think my thermometer might be messed up.

Hey Bmama! I am so right there with you about the headache and gas. I've been carrying a candle around the house with me... and my hubby thinks its funny. And I woke up with a nagging headache that keeps moving from the base of my skull up to behind my left eye and just won't quit! Are both of these common symptoms?
