October Sticky Beans!

[Lawes1987]

Anyone get severe emotional days this close to AF? I'm 10 dpo, had a this morning, had a good day yesterday but had a shitty say today. Crying, the works. I'm not sure if it's AF getting ready for progesterone messing me up. I've had a headache all day too.

I haven't tested tonight and I won't be testing tomorrow. AF is due on Thursday.

So sorry ivska . Opks might help out with timing and bd - do you guys get amazon or the like there?

8 dpo I've been cramping a bit and i keep feeling what feels like a very light tap or prick around my uterus/pelvic region (not sure if this is related more to indigestion). Plus I have had a lot of watery discharge which I don't think I usually get until day of or before my period. Bumming myself out thinking af on her way 3 plus days early

Keep your chin up Beth, it’s still early for a super dark line. Wait a few more days and see what happens.

So sorry lawes I hope things get better for you.

Yay for 2DPO Todmommy! And phantom lactating love it!

Haha Jalilma. I’m saying the same thing to myself all day every day right now.

Boston - I had trouble with my OPKs this cycle too. I’m using Clinical Guard though. Won’t be using them next cycle. Going to try the CVS brand. FF has yet to give me crosshairs ever. Just keep BDing to cover your bases.

Awww Ivksa So sorry about AF.

OOhhhh vacation BDing! What a story that will be if you catch the eggy in Prague, cupcake!

Everything crossed for you Angel5000! I hope the lack of red in CM is a super good sign!


AFM, I’m trying not to symptom spot. AF is due this weekend. I have my last finals tomorrow, then 2 weeks off before next session starts.

Only weird things is my temps have flatlined. I don’t know what that means. I’m afraid to google it. I checked my temps throughout the day yesterday to see if maybe my thermometer was acting wonky, but it seemed fine. What do you ladies think?

 

[todmommy4568]

My only suggestion was going to be the thermometer but if that is fine then I'm not sure. I google flat temps last month and I think most of what I found was that it isn't bad and still ppl that got BFP's with them!

 

[Blackrain90]

Lawes, extreme emotional mood swings is always my number one sign AF is on her way about a week before (got it a few days Last week and then abruptly stopped which was my first hint she wasn't coming).
Hopefully that's not the case for you xoxo

Ripple, I had a lot of twinges/tapping feelings right around pubic bone, so hoping this is a good sign for you!! I can't say I had watery CM this time but def last time.

 

[Angel5000]

Breast pain is still here, I just don't want them touched at all. It's on the sides, not the top or nipples. It doesn't seem as bad as it was 2-3 days ago, but it hasn't completely subsided. I noticed this weekend that on 2-3 different occasions I was having weird pains in my right hip. I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with TTC or TTW, just thought it was odd and it's on my mind because it's happening now as I type. Not sure what that's about.


Ivksa So sorry about AF!

Lawes Since i Stopped BC I expected to start getting really emotional days close to AF because that's what happened before I started the pill (keep in mind that was when I was a teenager...I had been on BC almost 15 years!), but strangely I haven't had that really since I stopped. The most emotional I get is on the day of AF and during AF and really I think that's mostly the devastation of not having my BFP. This week though I've had several really emotional days, and I find myself tearing up over stupid puppy commercials and stuff. Could just be AF, could be more. FX for both of us.

Pnut The only flat temps I've ever had always came before O, so I don't know what to tell you!

 

[PnutProtector]

Thanks angel and todmommy. I think as long as my temps aren't dropping I'm good.

 

[BostonLover89]

Lawes- I'm not totally sure if I get the emotional surge. While I was on the pill I barely had any symptoms and only knew AF was coming because of the sugar pills. Now I just get anxious/emotional because I'm hoping there's a baby in there and not AF! Maybe you just need a day without testing... Looking at a bfn is probably not helping! You're still in, just take a day to (attempt) to not think about it. Hugs to you!

Thanks ladies! Your all so wonderfully supportive, I really need it atm.

I had an early night and I actually woke up in a very clear headed, happy mood. I can't stand these yoyo moods. I was thinking of testing tonight maybe, now I'm 11dpo and AF is due tomorrow.

I haven't made my mind up. Thoughts?

 

[Lawes1987]

Oh heres another weird one, this last week I have been obsessed with eating bacon and egg for breakfast and cheese.... cheese all day long. Dairy and protein. I'm usually a grabber for sugar and carbs but nope, atm I want dairy and protein. Bit of a head scratcher.

How are our :BFP: girls getting on? Any darker tests?

 

[cscbeth8421]

13dpo, 10 minute mark. Deff darker than yesterday. Super duper bloated and crampy. In all my pregnancies, i only remember feeling like this with the pregnancy with my son. So today, feeling hopeful!

That's great progression. When was/is AF due?

 

[cupcake.]

Yay beth, that's great progression and that pretty digital fx this is sticky, but i'm positive it will be!

 

[cscbeth8421]

AF was due yesterday

 

[Lawes1987]

AF was due yesterday

Crickey, if your 13dpo and day after AF and I'm 11dpo and day before my AF then we are on the same cycle! LOL

 

[cscbeth8421]

SO this was last month's CP, 14DPO, the pic was taken probably 20 minutes later.

 

[cscbeth8421]

And this is todays at 13DPO and pic taken at 10 minutes....darker right? Planning to contact midwife Tuesday to get bloods done if all continues well!

 

[Lawes1987]

100% yeah, definitely darker! I didn't scroll down and thought after seeing the 14 DPO one... but this months at 13DPO is darker? So yeah. We don't get bloods taken in the UK. They just send our urine away. My doctor won't do it until your 8 weeks though...

Should I test later? Does it have to be first morning pee or can I cheat? LOL

 

[cscbeth8421]

Your best chances of getting a BFP at this stage would be FMU, unless you have like 4-5hr hold. You want to make sure you give yourself the best chances possible! They only do blood work with HCG levels here if you request them or if you have a history of miscarriage. Which ive had 2 and chemical pregnancy. So as long as AF stays away for the next 6 days, ill ask her next week. I gotta slow down on the testing now. Will wait a few days. Hopefully i can hold out.

Well I've had 3 miscarriages so do you think if I asked, they would do mine too? Is it just to confirm the pregnancy? I'm not sure what a chemical is. I had ultrasounds with mine and they were all viable pregnancies.
