January 18th Testers...Anyone want to share the wait?

[girldot]

Do you temp? It would help with knowing when you o'ed, or IF you o'ed yet. I've heard of opks being an early pregnancy sign, but I'm still not sure if it means a positive opk or just a line (dark or light), so I can't help you there. Did you do opks earlier in your cycle and get a positive? It is possible that you are o'ing late...I o'ed on day 21 once. I realize now that this may not be helpful to you... Sorry![/QUOTE]

I don't temp and I didn't use the OPKs earlier so I don't know if or when I ovulated.

 

[rosababy]

girldot,
hmmmm...if you don't know if you ovulated yet, the opks could possibly be telling you that you're about to ovulate. i'd start bd'ing just in case!

 

[WinterSnow]

Hmmm, thought I would be a symptom spotter Anyone want to join? We are all waiting, after all.

Today I'm 6dpo - 1 week until AF!

So far, as of today, I am a little tired, not bad though.
I am having some sharp cramps on ocassion today.
Bbs are slightly sore only if I touch them.
And I have a few moments of diziness.

Could be nothing? Could be something?
My temp is a little higher today 98.1, and took a dip two days ago for no reason at all to 97.6

I suppose we'll see!!

What about you ladies?

 

[rosababy]

okay okay, i'll symptom spot with you! I told myself I wasn't going to do this...

Today is dpo 8. Yesterday was really the first day, with cramps. Today, I felt a little nauseous (just for like 15 minutes when I woke up) and again after lunch. I had a few moments of dizziness. I've been ridiculously hungry and thirsty today.

Anyone else?

 

[Ilovehim89]

Im Holdin' out the best i can! I know it wouldn't be positive at this point anyways. I just wish! So symptoms....other than being very tired... I got nothing....*sigh*

 

[Sunkissed]

No symptoms can be good!! I have a sore throat doubt it's related tho.

I hope so...the only thing I can say is my face is breaking out like it normally does before AF...I hope THAT'S not a sign of a oncoming BFN!

Sorry you have sore throat..I just got over tonsilitis so I know sore throats are no fun! Fx for you!

 

[Sunkissed]

Thanks. My BBs started hurting this evening too. But on the sides. And some minor cramping more irritating than anything. Hope everyone is feeling good!!!

 

[jeepprincess]

I'm 3 days till AF is suppose to be here and I very moody, bbs are sore to touch, but other than that no symptoms...think AF is on her way to visit me fx'ed she doesn't.... good luck you guys!

 

[WannabemomV]

DPO 8- lower back pain still. More or less comes and goes. But when its there- Its Bad

-felt like I was getting a Cold yesterday, annoyed I can't (or won't) take Cold -Fx just in case.

- I was chewing gum today and my mouth was tasting "funny" so I spit the gum out and now have a Metallic taste. More so on the roof of my mouth

-Still thirsty and loving my Juice! So many extra calories!!!

-Feeling BLOATED. My husband said to me last night that I was looking thinner than ever! I replied with tears in my eyes how I was really feeling!

-Crying over everything. I am a cancer- so movies and tv shows normally make me cry, but this is worst than normal!

-odd cramps every once and a while, on right side now. O time I had cramps on my right, 2-3 days after BAD cramps on my left. Now back to my right

-Still not feeling pregnant- the past few months I felt pregnant during my TWW.

Thinking I am going to hold off on my HPT till Monday evening! AF due on Tuesday(ish). I get up a couple of times to pee during the night so a FMU isn't always the best for me, considering when I wake up- most times I have only peed about 2 hours eariler! So I try and hold my pee during the day for about 4-5 hours (hard for me, I love to pee) without drinking much (already missing my juice)

I have made an appointment with my OBGYN for Monday the 31st. Try and get some answers as to why we aren't pregnant yet!!

I know - it's hard not to! The way I think of it is, I am symptom spotting with the disclaimer that it could be caused by nearly anything because our bodies are complicated pieces of machinery! However, if I happen to get a BFP, I want to note what I had going on so I can look back and say Ah HA! Or just keep note of it for future ones. I don't know - I have never been!

Honestly I think its more resssuring (to me) to have someone else say - Me too.

So, ME TOO Rosababy!

 

[Ilovehim89]

I looked it up and apparently you can have all types of CM after ovulating. There is no textbook answer there. I hate how there are no definitive signs of pregnancy. Why do they all have to also be signs of lurking . I'm not going to symptom spot anymore. It about drove me last month and then I was disappointed. I will be 13 DPO when I test on the 18th. What I'm learning from TTC is that your body has a mind of it's own and it will do what it wants. So if I don't get this month I'm going back to "not trying, not preventing" and see what happens. It was so much less stressful and maybe that's what I need to make it happen....less stress!
