Hey Ladies! So Lizzie - How are you today? I still haven't seen AF, and I'm am nauseous at random times all of a sudden. I'm either coming down with something or preggo. My breasts aren't sore though, and I've had lower back pain. I'm wondering if it's just AF kicking me in the gut this month. Regardless, I'm just happy to know that I inseminated at the right times, because it ticks me off to think about wasting all of that time and effort to shuffle my own kids around if I was three days later than my egg. So, that's that. I have a writing retreat coming up this next weekend, and one of my donor's friends is attending with me. He has no clue that the donor is doing this, and he's a drinker... most writers are. So, it will be really interesting to see how I'm going to get out of drinks every night with the crew if I still haven't seen AF, and if I do see AF today or tomorrow then I will at least be able to kick up my heels and get in the hot tub with some wine over the weekend. Right now my tummy is saying NO FLIPPING WAY though. Yes, I'm rambling. I love reading your posts, so keep them coming. Did everyone have a good weekend?
Okay, so if I ovulated early, which was my worry this month, I should see the nasty AF tomorrow. I'm not feeling crampy yet, so I'm crossing my fingers. My donor wants me to be preggo so badly that it just adds some extra stress. But, that's okay. I guess I'd rather him be sending good vibes than not. The back up donor, who is much younger, lied to me about something very small recently. I know this is going to sound insane but it makes me not want to use him in the case that the current donor doesn't work. I'm big on trust, and it may have just been immaturity on his part, but it was involving my son, and it just rubbed me the wrong way. 
Trippy
this month! Glad to hear you Ov'ed on schedule! Sounds promising! As far as early symptoms -- for me the first sign was that smells started bothering me. Like -- i was in target one day & some ladies perfume made my stomach queasy. And i started to get nausea here & there. My first test was neg (a few days before AF) and then my 2nd test was positive a week later.
I spent most of the first 3 weeks being a wreck off and on. As of about Wednesday last week, something has shifted and I'm feeling better - more grounded, stable, less despairing. I'm still a bit lonely, but I feel more like I am going to be able to handle it, and not lose my mind.
I'm only 9dpo, surely it's wrong?! How am I gona wait 2 days to test again?! I've felt like crap all day, really sicky, and almost fainted in the post office queue, and been running to the loo all day! Screen tilting is needed, and they are both clearer in real life! It'll prob turn out to be a chemical knowing my luck, but Ive never had so many symptoms!!
