Congratulations Fezzle!

Good luck Jean!

As for me, I'm guessing AF will be showing as usual. Due Wednesday. Yesterday I did have mild AF-like? cramping esp. At moments. Think I may be feeling some cramping/twinges right now too. I've still been in a crappy, agitated and emotional mood a lot and just out of sorts, but I can't even blame that on PMS because it's been going on too long.

As of now, I have still resisted testing. I purposely didn't buy any to help resist. Lol I guess it just feels too silly to be testing to me atm when i have no reason to believe I'm pregnant. Plus...no matter what I do, or tell myself, those BFNs just upset me.

As I literally type this, i'm sitting in McDonald's staring at a little baby girl kinda bouncing in her high chair to music playing. Ugh.

Congrats Fezzle!!!

Megan - glad to see you O'd!

Lastchances - hang in there. Maybe those cramps are a good sign and not AF cramps.

 

[Wish2BMom]

agreed with ItsaWonder, Lastchances - when I got preg at the end of May, I was convinced AF was going to start b/c of the cramps I had. And literally no other 'symptom' besides sore boobs, that I typically got before AF too. After being preg for a few weeks, i was like 'what signs was I looking for this whole time?? there's nothing different!'

Fezzle--A huge congrats to you on your and !!!!!!!! Hoping hard that this is your rainbow baby! Thank you for coming back and sharing this with us, so good to hear from you! This didn't happen to come from a honeymoon BD? That would be too crazy!

GL to everyone else.

 

[Mdc]

Fezzes, congratulations! Here is to wishing you a H&H 9 months!

Megan, yeah for O'ing.

Megan and TTC, There is always a chance even if you BD once. One of the awesome ladies on another thread just got a BFP after only one BD session. So you never know!

Lastchance, you are not out until the fat lady sings so hang in there.

Afm, just hanging out dpo4 (I guess dpiui 3/4) technically. We had pretty outstanding timing for our first IUI's so hopefully it did the trick!

to all!!!!!

 

[Fezzle]

Vonn- no, I was probably implanting on my wedding day but had a CP on my honeymoon! So I took the next cycle off Clomid, thankfully ovulated on my own so started it again for my June cycle. I've had 5 Clomid cycles now and conceived in 3 of them so it's clearly working for me- now I just need one to stick!

 

[Lastchances]

I swear I have like 0 restraint sometimes... I had to go to the Dollar Tree for something, so what did I do? I bought 2 tests. Used one today about a half hour ago. Not even FMU. BFN. I guess in theory I can't assume I'm out for sure quite yet.

 

[smithco]

Im 8dpo.... I have zero symptoms of pregnancy/or af on the way. I have been so busy this is been the easiest 2ww... So that's my update.

 

[Lastchances]

Well, today's supposed to be the day. Still crampy. Breasts have been a little sore. I'm guessing AF is on her merry way yet again, but that BFN Monday afternoon certainly contributed to that belief. It wasn't really that early and was probably accurate. If I was smart, I'd probably wait until either I get AF or wait until I'm 3 days or so past, to bother testing. I don't have a headache yet. Not that I want one, but it is a common PMS and/or AF symptom for me.

 

[Cornfieldland]

Hope AF stays away Lastchances symptoms for AF and BFP are so similar it's hard to tell sometimes.

 

[Cornfieldland]

Smithco... I'm same as you..9dpo, not really feeling it this month. Trying not to obsess. I have had some breast pain on and off and been tired....that's about it.

 

[Wish2BMom]

last - hang in there! I think 8dpo is pretty early - you could not have implanted by that time yet! you could be implanting RIGHT NOW

 

[Lastchances]

There needs to be a smacking your head against a wall smiley. Lol.

Tested - BFN. (That F doesn't stand for "freaking" atm. ) About a 9 hr hold. But I've noticed my urine is really never very concentrated because I drink water constantly so even after waking it's quite pale and when I put it in the dropper it's looks almost completely clear. No sign of AF so far. I'm probably out and worse still, now I may be ovulating while my bf is away for 9 days. The timing had been perfect for July if everything was on schedule.

I guess now I wait for AF as final confirmation. If I'm not, she needs to show up. We'll be together that whole weekend of later on Jul 24- the following Monday (Jul 27) Morning. Ought to be perfect timing unless things go all weird now.

 

[Lastchances]

The fact that I don't have a headache may mean she's still at least a few days off. Though that's not a certainty. I also don't have the feelings down there that are indicative of AF's imminent arrival.

 

[smithco]

Corn - last few months I had so many symptoms that I was like I must be pg. but it was just af on the way. Now nothing. Maybe that means pg. haha who know.

I am soooo over early testing. If af is late I will test.

 

[Cornfieldland]

Smithco....I know I am trying not to obsess....and I don't want to buy a test just to see a bfn....but it's hard to wait sigh...

 

[ItsAWonder]

Smithco - the cycle I was pregnant with my DD was the one in which I didn't have any symptoms.

 

[Lastchances]

Terrible headache today which should mean AF is on her way, albeit a smidge late. Got a terrible wave of nausea before and really thought I might throw up. (I haven't in many years. I have a phobia lol) and my first thought was "oh God I let myself take Ibuprofen & Sudafed today." But I'm sure it's not an issue because if the hormones were present enough to cause such effects by now there shouldn't have been a BFN yesterday. Probably just PMS/Headache related.

 

[travelgurl]

Well AF arrived on Tuesday, so I'm now on CD3 of a new cycle. Here's to August!
I think we're going to try the SMEP this month.
I also went to the clinic to get a requisition to have my hormone levels tested just to be sure they're where they need to be. Good luck ladies and congrats Fezzle!
