CD1 August 11th - wanna keep one another sane?

[CHILLbilly]

JJF.....FMU only...haha
poor girl..I know how you feel . I always want to test and get an early answer.
Your symptoms sound sooooo good!!!
( did you get any IB spotting?)

So should we be starting a test list soon????
I'm not sure when I will test.

i am due monday...14dpo. BUT may start testing on Sat. No earlier, unless I buy a double pack...

 

[amber20]

Chillbilly you have any new symptoms yet?

 

[CHILLbilly]

amber20- HATE the smell of smoke.......lol. Boobs are kind of sore..but then again i just crushed one against the computer chair, while leaning over the side.
Tired...but just got home from camping on an air mattress!!

Anymore symptoms........anyone??????

 

[JJF]

I'm thinking us POAS addicts need to start a support group, haha. There is NO reason I should be testing this early but just knowing those new sticks I ordered are under the sink, they just reach and and grab me, its horrible! Okay, I'm going to give them to my husband, no lie, its decided. I want to test and get a VERY DARK line so there is no question/no wishywashyness going on!!!! Have you seen xxxJacquixxx's Pregnancy Test Gallery post with all her test, haha, I love her, I'm thinking I'm going to try to top her, ha! Okay girl, help me, keep me strong!

 

[amber20]

lol! Yeah she has alot of them! I have some under my sink to and everytime i've gone to the bathroom today i want to grab one!

 

[shmoo75]

You guys make me laugh and smile Whenever I POAS I am holding it upto the light and squinting my eyes to try and see a 2nd line What we all like? TTC and the 2ww drives us a little bonkers me thinks

Well yesterday my temp dropped to 36.18 and today it was 36.40 and FF said that I still OV'd on CD18(which was 28/08) and that I am 5DPO today. I will test on sunday 07/09 eventhough FF tells me I should test on 16/09 when it has worked out I will be about 1wk late. I always test too early but, at 10DPO you never know. I wont tell OH I am testing on sunday unless I get a My symptoms are random feeling sick, sore boobs and tirdness. Fingers crossed for all of us

 

[Lyns]

Well, I got up this morning still feeling nauseus.......achy back, and having crashed out absolutely shattered last night, and thought, 'what the hell' the signs are there, I'm 10dpo, so I tested.


Nothing.....1 very dark control line, and 1 very white space where there was supposed to be another line.....huimph!

And I still feel sick.

 

[csmummu]

oh lyns sounds good though hopefully this could be good for you and anything past 9days for LP is great so theres the PMA for today

Chilly you really need to get some Internet cheepies i would be spending a fortune in the chemest!!

Shmoo why is it we cant accept we shouldnt have to squint to see a line!! its madness!!

 

[Lyns]

Hello Ladies,
Okay confession time....I did POAS on Sat, which sadly was only 6dpo and I swear I got a faint line but again, could be my imagination. Tried to hold off today and did a great job until this evening, with evening pee and i feel like there is a FAINT FAINT FAINT line again, so I'm setting myself up for disappointment but my signs are getting stronger and stronger.

Ooh ooh ooh, I missed this one before..JJF that does sound very encouraging...you could be our first BFP...although we definitely need much more than one!
(Lyns sticks hand in air and jumps up and down shouting 'me too....me too!' )

 

[kittiekat]

well I am officially confused.....because I didn't start BBT from the start of this monthly I used the OPK analyse on FF. I have been charting for over a week now and just to see what FF did (.....everyone goes oh no here we go....) I changed the analysis thing to the advanced and it put me back to 3 dpo!!

I should be 5 dpo and when I checked my graph I had no CM on FF's 3dpo ovulation day or any ferning. However, the original ovulation day (5 dpo) was my last day of EWCM, ferning and also my last positive OPK!

What do you guys think? Should I stick with the OPK analysis or now keep with the advanced one?

By the way, my boobs have been sore today




JJF coming your way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not an FF expert here, so I'm sure that one of the other girls can advise you better, but it does seem to me that it is a bit trial and error on there for the first cycle or so. I tried charting via my monitor and it said I didn't ovulate despite the fact my monitor gave me a peak reading and clearly showed ovulation - backed up by OPK's!

I gave up and went back to my CBFM! I love my CBFM....I'd just love it a bit more if I actually got pregnant!

That said, in answer to your question....I'd go with what felt right taking into account your bodily signs. Your body is better than any website IMO as long as you know how to read it!

 

[kittiekat]

Thanks lyns,

Thats what I was thinking. I just thought i would ask if anyone knew why FF had done it. I think it makes more sense to me that I O'd 5 days ago rather then 3. Maybe FF changed it due to having more temps, as I have been charting but only using OPK's, CM and CP up to now and thought what the hell I may as well go the whole hog and start temping too (lol). So up to O day it only had around three temps to go off.......(I know I am an idiot sometimes but desparation sets in in the 2WW hehe).

 

[CHILLbilly]

Oh LYNS- seeing those blank white boxes sure does feel like a kick in the face!!
just wait a few more days.....Some girls get 9 dpo..and some 2 weeks after AF was due.......so what can we do but wait.

JJF- Give hubby those sticks..hahahahaha I figure If I don't have any in house.... I won't feel the temptation as much.

CSmummu..I sure do need some cheapies.... BUT knowign I had them would kill me haha. If I have a double pack...$10 at walmart. Then I have to space them. 1 for when AF is due and an early one 2 days before maybe.

I am weak........
I am still spotting but very very light..and getting some "wierd" cramps.
NOT like AF at all......almost like a star burst of twinges..If that makes sense.
Like tiny little fingers touching me all over my lower belly area.

I haven't been reading up on early symptoms so not obsessing and making myself feel these.

I can't wait for the :bfp; to start rolling in......
good luck ladies and you all have my positive wishes going out to you!!!!!!!

 

[poppielia]

hey lovelies.
I started cramping yesterday am 7dpo today and the cramps are worse today. No spotting but have been exausted for 2 days now, i had to have a nap when i got in from work today. my left boob hurts today (dont ask me why its only my left boob, it just is) lol
I think Af is due in 6 or 7 days so too early for that yet. i am gonna start testing from friday morning, i have some early internet tests so we shall wait and see. I have felt very negative about this cycle for some reason and i still dont feel very hopeful of my BFP this month. how crap is it when you just feel you havnt a cat in hells chance before you reach the final hurdle. (just instinct i guess) Am keeping my fingers crossed still though but trying not to get my hopes up too high. good luck ladies xxxxxxxxxxx

hey there hun.....hopefully those cramps are due to implantation. Do they feel the same as AF???? cause my cramps are kind of different this time.

E may be testign at the same time......I am due for AF on monday and am feeling very positive this month.


maybe JJf can get us organized and start a test list??
or is it to soon!!!!!!!!

Oh I have a symptom question.......do pregnant women get bite by mosquitos MORE then usual?? cause I was outside for 20 mins and got eaten alive.
Yesterday had my legs covered ( 20 mosies per leg) and itched like crazy!
i hate bug spray so I just suffer the itch.

Well it can change your blood, so I guess that its possible! Thats what they're after, after all!

 

[kittiekat]

Sorry to be chirping on in here today, but I am going out on a limb here to say that my boobs are actually really quite sore. I thought it was just me dreaming them sore last night lol (I kept knocking them on the bed but thought i was dreaming). Then today at work they seemed to be a little sore but nothing to complain about, well I have just had an early shower (cos I am tired......) and they were really sore when the water touched them. So now I can really feel them but it could be me just thinking they are sore......God I hate the 2ww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CHILLbilly]

Know what the worst thing about 2ww is.....

google......
bad idea..nothing but crap answers ..
I am now worried about my spotting as its started again.....
I did read it may mean low progesterone. So more info for dr. if needed.
I am still hoping its a positive IB sign.
( started sunday just a little bit brown, mon was more light pink, today is light pink as well.) I would prefer it to just stop!!!!!! and not become an early AF.
I usually spot 2 days before AF on cd 25 ( 27day cycle) or cd27 ( for last months 29 day cycle)

I am so confused....
damn you google

 

[JJF]

Lyns I am so familiar with the squinting at the big white space, sucks! So maybe tomorrow will be your lucky day! I didn't give the poas to hubby last night but I did refrain from the tests so far today (only 8 more hours till bedtime)! Gonna try to hold out tomorrow. Wanted to share an interesting thing from the pregnancy symptom website-i got my 1st boob vein, hehe, at 3dpo and then no more until MANY of them appeared on 8dpo. When I looked at boob veins on that website it showed them appearing on 3dpo and NOT again until 8dpo, I'll be darn, I now have renewed respect for the website haha. I was really nauseas last night so I get to add that to the symptoms now

Okay random thought here-have u checked out the MAY pregnancy cycle buddy thread yet? Very cool that there is about 12 or more people in there already, great news but then again I'm thinking if another 15 or more join for May, yikes, that could get crowded

 

[CHILLbilly]

JJF - did you get veins anywhere else....like on tummy or inside arms.....????
I have some stretch marks on boobs and little veins normally so its hard for me to tell....
Are you dpo now? I am the same.....and not sure if i'll test at 10dpo or wait til 12 then 14.
argggggggg wish i had a hand full..nearest store is 30 mins away!

I'll time grocery shop with proper dpo...lol

I'll end up at walmart in the bathroom testing...haha wonder if I can hold FMU in for a few hours til we head out...LOL

OH will see me running through the aisles yelling........Whoooooo Hoooooooo

P.S. can you be hungry and nauseous at the same time??
