So I'm embarrassed to even say that somehow I managed to read every page of this thread, but I celebrated with some of you when you got your BFPs, and felt terrible when some of you had MCs. I feel like I know everyone!

I am 30 and my husband is 33. We are TTC #1. I have never been pregnant, and this is our second cycle TTC. We decided a few days too late to start trying last month, and I just went by my EWCM to guess when I ovulated. We started on the last day I saw the EWCM, but did it like crazy the whole following week. It was our 1 year anniversary trip.

I proceeded to drive myself absolutely insane with symptom spotting, but I sure did learn a lot about what our bodies go through. I was convinced I was pregnant, but was also relieved when AF finally showed up and we could try again. I started charting my BBT and took OPKs to pinpoint my ovulation day.

1DPO: Fatigue, Headache, started getting a scratchy throat

2DPO: Bloated, Cramps, Gassy, Headache, Heartburn, Irritable, breasts started becoming tender

3DPO: Peeing often, slight nausea, skin breaking out, tender breasts

4DPO: While I was studying, I was finally distracted from symptoms and caught myself pressing down and rubbing on the left side of my lower abdomen, because it had a sharp, pinching cramp. Got excited for a new symptom when I realized what I was doing lol. Diarrhea, gas, heartburn, boobs hurting more

5DPO: Had a cramp on the left side of my back today, still have diarrhea, gas, heartburn, irritable, boobs feel like BOWLING BALLS and almost make me want to cry, they hurt so bad.

6DPO: yellow-beige CM once after wiping, sore boobs still

7DPO: nose swelling at night, sneezing, headache, tiny brown spot in underwear in the morning and one in the afternoon

8DPO: exhausted, sore and firm boobs, thirsty, post-nasal drip

9DPO: my boobs have never hurt for this long before, but I have typical pre-AF spotting this morning, and pretty sure I'm out.

Good luck to you ladies this cycle! On to the next for me! I'll turn this red when the witch officially arrives.

EDIT: The spotting has turned red already. 9DPO seems pretty early for AF, doesn't it? Does my ovulation date look correct on my chart? This was my first month charting but I know the luteal phase should be at least 10 days. I've been taking B-6 this month just in case, anyway.

10DPO: AF is here. Ordered P90X yesterday, and I'm excited to start that since I'm not preggers yet!

 

[ireadyermind]

Aww, sorry AF got you, AnAuburnTiger!

Alright, I'm back in for TTC#1 cycle 9... Have been kinda taking a break this cycle as far as tracking every little thing, lol! Me and the hubby took a mini weekend vacation for Memorial day, so I have been kind of slacking on charting and all that! But I kept charting just enough to know "about" when I ovulated, so I'm not out yet!

Oday: Some mild cramps, and light spotting...

1-4DPO: Didn't really pay attention to every little thing, so nothing to report

5DPO: Finally got my crosshairs today, sharp pain in right breast for only 3-4mins... Also feeling kinda bloated

6DPO: Some mild cramping, bloated, gassy, had terrible nightmares last night!

7DPO: Nausea in the morning off and on , had a minor nose bleed when blowing my nose (I never get nosebleeds?!) still bloated...

8-9DPO: Random bouts of nausea off and on

update

FINALLY got another rise in temp, so my chart now has dotted cross hairs.

Here's my DPO chart for this cycle, according to when FF thinks I ovulated:

Spoiler

1 DPO - Bloating badly, wedding ring too snug. Increased sex drive. Still quite a lot of watery CM, and cervix still HSO


2 DPO - Woke up with lower back ache similar to PMS symptoms. Frequent urination today, I think getting rid of the bloat from previous days. Cervix was so high I could only barely reach it enough to tell that it had firmed up. Couldn't reach the opening. Watery CM has almost dried up, somewhere between watery and creamy today. I marked it as creamy in my chart because there wasn't enough of it to really make me feel I was still fertile.


3 DPO - CM definitely moved to creamy now. Cervix still high, but low enough to tell that it was still open and firm. No other symptoms charted that day.


4 DPO - LOTS of lotiony CM today for some reason. Cervix was so high this morning that I couldn't even reach it to determine the texture. Hoping those are good signs! Edit @ 5pm: No other symptoms today, which is really odd. No cramps, no moodiness, no sore breasts... nothing. Hmm. Wonder if it has to do with my cycle being so long?


5 DPO - Steep temperature dip this morning, but also noticed my thermometer's batteries are low. I hope that's not what caused the dip, and that this is actually an implantation dip! FF says I'm 5 DPO but I think I'm 6, so an implantation dip here wouldn't be out of line! Had a strange twitchy feeling in my lower abdomen this morning, and also woke up feeling like I am getting a cold. Still lots of lotiony CM, CP is still High - Firm - Open (though I had an easier time reaching it this morning, so it might be dropping a little).

Woke up feeling absolutely exhausted, too. I didn't go to bed any later than I normally do. I fell right to sleep and didn't have any particularly disturbing dreams. The temperature in the room was comfortable and the only thing that bothered me was that I drank too much water last night before bed, so when I woke up to take my BBT I had to pee SO bad! lol

Edit @ 10am: Feeling very very slight cramps/twinges. Not the same as AF cramps.


6 DPO - Slept pretty hard last night. DH said he heard me snoring, which is odd because I don't snore unless I'm sick and all stuffed up. I didn't wake up with a stuffy nose today, but I had one yesterday for a little bit. I'm assuming it's allergies, but marking it down just in case it's a symptom! lol

Still lots of creamy/lotiony CM today. Enough so that it's wetting my underwear. According to the charts where I tracked that sort of thing, my CM almost immediately went from Watery to Sticky after O. Not this time! [-o< My chemical in Nov was marked as Creamy for the full 18 days after O. Fingers crossed!

Also woke up with odd, cramp-like twinges in my lower abdomen again, like yesterday. Not like AF cramps at all. They're lower, localized to one side, and a little more sharp.

Cervix is approximately the same height as yesterday, still firm, but now beginning to close up. I'd say it's at medium-open today.

Also got another temp dip, but I'm still above coverline, so as long as it stays above cover, I'll be all right.

Edit: I was soooo tired today, I caught myself falling asleep on the couch while I was reading/browsing the web. Took an hour long nap and still felt tired enough to go to bed around my usual 9:30pm later that night.


7 DPO - Temp spiked back up by almost a whole degree (.72 to be exact) this morning. Whew! I was worried I'd keep dropping, and AF would show up early.

Still feeling like I might be getting a cold. Stuffy sinuses (which in turn are causing one ear to feel sore/achey), scratchy throat. I had trouble sleeping last night too. My heart felt like it was absolutely RACING for no apparent reason. I mean, I'm laying down and trying to sleep. Why should I feel like I had just run for my life?

Still lots of creamy CM, cervix seems to be lowering a little, but still firm and with a medium opening. My only other symptom this morning is a tender lower abdomen. It's a little odd that I have so few symptoms with AF only about a week away (though really, I hope she doesn't show up!)

8 DPO - June 16th. Stay tuned!

Updated!

Still strangely free of my usual PMS symptoms. They generally start 2 weeks away from AF and linger. Moodiness and sore BBs were my biggest issues and I just don't have those this time around.

Had what I thought was implantation dip on CD 5/6? Still lots of CM, when in previous cycles I dried right up. I hope these are good signs!

I'm trying to hold off testing for another 3 days. If that really WAS an implantation dip, I should theoretically get a BFP on 10DPO, right? >.> The TWW is nuts!

for me and for you gals!
