Congratulations!

Been trying for the past week, not sure exactly when I'm O, because I'm still new to TTC and haven't been temping, only charting. I should be O today or tomorrow...
SUPER tired today and all this past week I was a major horn dog, so hopefully those were signs of my impending ovulation.

I'm not sure how to check replies on this forum, so I guess just bookmarking this page is the best way ? tips?

Baby dust to everyone ! ! !

At the top of this thread there is a drop down menu that says "thread tools" you should be able to subscribe there and then pick the option you want as far as how often you get emails!

Congrats Toasty!!!!

So sorry I wasn't on earlier to say that! For some reason I didn't get a single subscription email from BnB all weekend

AFM: CD19 and no + OPK yet! I O'd on CD19 last month then CD21 the month before. Hopefully I see O by CD21. Either way, I think I am in for a 35 day cycle again.

Thank you ladies!

So far my only complaint is the cramping. I feel like I've done 200 sit-ups by the end of each day, and I've felt this for about the last 5 days or so, just a constant dull ache, similar to AF cramps, but different at the same time. It's more of a stretching feeling than a cramped up tight feeling. It makes me smile and I'm constantly exhausted, I could have slept all day yesterday. Got 10 hours sleep sat night, then took a 4 hour nap after being awake for just a couple hours, and went to bed by 930. Anyways, baby dust to you ladies and pray this baby sticks for 9 months!

I hope it's a happy and healthy 9 months darling!

I'm on the fence about the fatigue part of preg hahahaha! On one end, I have a terrible time sleeping so it'll be nice to be able to fall asleep at night. On the other hand, I work 50 miles from my house so I am not looking forward to being tired during my commute! It's already something I struggle with because of lack of sleep. Hopefully it'll be alright for the morning at least!

Awwww! I'm sorry! D: Here's to a January BFP!!

 

[Ashley1021]

Thanks! I'm not as devastated as I thought I would be. I am starting to temp tomorrow! Any other advice?

I find it's not hard yet either. I guess that's the magic of being new to TTC!

Hmmmmm! Just the usual! Be sure to take it at the same time every day and before you get up to do anything. Also, decide now if you are going to take your temp orally or vaginally and don't switch! (atleast not until a new cycle)

So I am testing when I'm 11 DPO on my birthday, the 19th! I don't want to spend my birthday wondering and it will be the best birthday ever if it is a BFP and I can drink if it's a BFN! I am SOOOO nervous. This is my first cycle TTC and I just have a feeling I won't be seeing a BFP My only possibly different symptoms are that I'm super tired, painful soreness only on the outsides of my boobs (like someone punched them in a certain spot), and some other little things here and there. I'm doubtful but I still have some hope!!

Wishing you the best!!!! I know how nerve wracking it can be

I just had another BFN Yesterday
Just want AF to show up already!!!! But at the same time I feel like
I'm getting weird symptoms like.... constipation
I don't want to gross anybody out but I usually have no problem when it comes to that. I do my thing at least twice a day but for the past couple days I've had trouble even going once a day! And I haven't made any major changes to my diet so I don't know what's going on....

 

[Reba1987]

I'm about 3 dpo,

How do you guys deal with the TWW???
I feel like it's taking forever - I guess I have Christmas to take my mind off of that at least somewhat...

I'm in my senior year of college, which usually would be good for taking my mind off of it --- but it's the holiday break and I'm stuck at home while my boyfriend is at work (he's having to use my car because his gave out the other week)

Happy Birthday !
and hopefully you get a BFP, but 11 dpo is pretty early to test if you get a BFN you might still be preggo

I get all twitchy and eventually test really early lol

 

[Ashley1021]

I just try my best to keep my mind occupied with work during the TWW. But if I have the day off I'm googling like a mad woman. And even if I'm only 8dpo I'll poas because I'm bored! Even though it's obviously going to be a BFN
