Late July Testers! Let's wait together!

[Katy78]

Weebles, I've read about something called lutenized unruptured follicle syndrome. You can get a temp shift and all the hormonal changes, but the egg is never actually released. I'm sure thats not the case for you. Your doc is probably just doing his due diligence

Yes, a luteal cyst is not so uncommon. But usually if you have it, your period is delayed till it ruptures (in a few days up to a few months). If that takes too long, you need progesterone treatment to get your period.

2 days to go!!

6DPO - No real symptoms.
To test in 2 days or not? Might try to wait until 10 at least! lol

I'm with you! Ovulating this weekend i believe and I think i can test on July 31st or so. I'm hoping this is the month for Us!

 

[BelleNuit]

6 dpo ladies, PMS already starting to set in. Getting moodier and moodier by the day.

UGH. My TWW progesterone side effects came on strong this month. It was like BAM welcome to your two weeks of bloated, irritable hell!

I feel angry today. I'm so angry that it has taken so long and that I'm afraid that it won't ever happen.

 

[Weebles]

I've never heard of leutal cysts before.. Years ago I was having pain on my ovary once and an ultrasound showed a cyst that they told me would rupture eventually. Maybe that's what it was but I haven't had an issue since that I'm aware of.

Cinderella, I always start thinking real hard about testing at 8dpo even though 10 is early too.

Ahh Belle, I know how your feel, right there with you. Ttc is hard enough without our hormones. Just think though, you will get a BFP and when you're holding that baby in your arms the only reason why it's the one you love so much is because of all these months of ttc. No other sperm or egg would have done it.

I know what you mean, Belle...even though this is only cycle 4 for us, sometimes I start feeling so defeated and like giving up, especially after the CP last month, but I guess that would be silly considering I want it so bad. Just found out DH has to travel to Europe next month most likely and of course it is during my fertile window (hopefully I'll get pregnant this month though!) I told him if he has to go, then I'm going with him because I'm not giving up a month! Luckily (unluckily?) it's my last week of Summer break so I could go.

I am still waiting to O and it feels like it's taking forever. My temps have been unusually stable the last 9 days...like barely budging. I'm hoping that's a good thing? I think maybe the myo-inositol could be causing that?

 

[MrsBeany85]

Grrr...my cycles seem to be getting even more irregular! Had really dark blood on wiping today and then AF type cramps kicked in (my af cramps only ever seem to kick after I first notice blood, never before) and I've had a niggly hormonal type headache since last night. Thought it might've been stress related because of work, etc but now it's all starting to add up

 

[WishnandHopn]

Belle...so sorry you're feeling down today. Don't count yourself out for this month yet!

Weebles those words are so true...on the beautiful day when I hold my baby in my arms all of this pain will pale in comparison to that kind of love.

Ask I hope you get to take that trip with DH! Stable temps must a sign of stable hormones...I would take it as a good sign!

Beany...so sorry that it feels like the witch is on her way. It's so frustrating when you can't figure out if/when you O'd and don't know when to expect her.

AFM...4 dpo and still spotting from my pap yesterday. We're going away this weekend to a wedding so that should be a good distraction from the agony of the 2ww

 

[BelleNuit]

Weebles, your note made me cry. There is nothing in the world that I want more than to be able to hold my own baby. I hope I will get to be so lucky

Beany I'm so sorry that AF seems to be showing! grr! So frustrating!

Ask, a trip might be just the thing! I hope you get your O soon!

Wishn, I hope you enjoy your weekend wedding! The TWW is truly heinous

 

[Weebles]

I'm so sorry belle! That is not what I intended at all! You absolutely will be that lucky! I can be contrary and have a funny way of looking at things sometimes, it's just something I think about that makes me feel better. I know it's hard waiting but I truly believe it will happen and when it does it will be worth it.. I just shouldn't have assumed the silly things I think about to help myself be patient would have the same effect for you, I really am sorry.

 

[BelleNuit]

Please don't be sorry Weebles! It didn't make me cry sad tears, it just gave me a burst of hope that maybe it could happen. I don't often let myself think about it actually happening anymore. I more just expect AF to show. I'm just an emotional person lol. If I ever do get a bfp I'll probably just cry hysterically and DH will be super confused haha. Thats how I tend to react to good news. Thank you for the lovely post, it was just what I needed to snap myself out of my negative thinking

 

[Ask4joy]

OPK just turned dark (not quite as dark as control though) - right on schedule so LH surge is starting woohoo!

So thankful to have you ladies to do all this pain-staking waiting with!

 

[MrsBeany85]

Ooh good luck Ask!

 

[WishnandHopn]

Time to get BDing Ask! With those nice stable temps you will have no problem seeing your temp shift after you O!

I think I'm gonna try temping vaginally next month...this month's break from temping has just stressed me out more because I have no confirmation of if/when I O'd.

 

[MrsBeany85]

Ladies, I just wondered if any of you had ever had O bleeding/spotting? If so, what was it like? Sorry to ask, it's just that whatever that dark brown bleeding/spotting was yesterday it seems to have gone and, if anything, there's now just cm. Cramps seem to have gone too. I've had some very light spotting around O time before, but it looked very different, more like pink cm.

 

[WishnandHopn]

The only O bleeding I've noticed was streaks of red in my ewcm. I hope it's O bleeding for you and not AF coming! What are your OPKs looking like?

 

[Katy78]

I've never had O bleeding (no implantantion bleeding either). But a lot of women get it, it's no big deal.

 

[MrsBeany85]

Thanks ladies. My opks are negative now. The other thing I wondered about was a cervical polyp, had them before and they caused mid-cycle bleeding. Might have to get checked. No af so far though so we'll see what happens

7DPO - woke really early to pee feeling sickly, with pelvic twinges. Convinced myself it must mean I'm pregnant. Went back to sleep for a few more hours and woke and convinced myself that I definitely couldn't be pregnant. This is pretty much my mind constantly right now.

Addicted to countdowntopregnancy and other peoples 7dpo symptoms and pregnancy tests. Scouring mothercare for things I would buy if I found out I was pregnant. Sending myself a little bit up the wall with this!

(I now suddenly understand all the craziness surrounding the tww)
