TTC #1 Hopeful and Obsessed! lol

[BelleNuit]

Thanks mnelson, you are totally right there is still a lot that we haven't tried yet and there are a ton of options for us to try to get that BFP! It's not over yet! Thanks for keeping your hopes up for me! I'll keep my hopes up for you!!

Sorry to hear your having such a tough go of it this TWW! It truly is a cruel trick of nature that you have to wait a whole two weeks!

 

[sil]

Belle I have everything crossed for you! Can't wait to see your update

 

[mnelson815]

Oooo Belle! I just stalked your chart! I am so excited!!! I cannot even wait for you to test on Satuday!!

 

[BelleNuit]

Thanks guys I am actually so unbelievably nervous about this cycle! No spotting yet but it's only morning. If it was going to show today it would start in the afternoon. I don't always get spotting at 11 dpo, so the real test will be tomorrow. I ALWAYS spot at 12 dpo and it ALWAYS starts around noon. At least my cycles are predictable lol

 

[mnelson815]

Good luck today Belle! I will be stalking your chart after noon today!
I hope you get the courage up to test tomorrow!!! I have such a good feeling for you on this one! I also need some BFP's to rub off onto me!!

 

[BelleNuit]

mnelson THANK YOU for the encouragement! That was just the thing I needed this morning Your chart is looking fabulous btw!!

I'm worried I might only be 11 dpo (because sometimes I do O 2 days after the + OPK). This cycle I am quite confident in CD 12 for the O date because I had a fair amount of bleeding and ovulation cramping (which I have never had before). But still, part of me doesn't want to believe that I'm 12 dpo and haven't started spotting yet. Heres to hoping it will be a spot free afternoon!

 

[mnelson815]

I have total faith in you! That cramping and spotting totally sound like O day to me. Keep your confidence up!

Belle,
Thinking of you today and keeping my fingers crossed.
Mnelson, How are you feeling?

 

[mnelson815]

Stressed! Haha.
I just wish I was further along in the tww. I had some really odd optimism about this cycle, so I just feel the longer I am in the wait, the more I talk myself out of it.
I think I am going to stop temping for this cycle since my temps were so good I dont want to watch them drop.
Hopefully I dont start spotting super early like I did last cycle, which happened at 7dpo last time, which was crazy. It usually starts around 10dpo. So here is hoping it waits that long this time!
Either way, RE appointment is in 5 days... so I guess we will know either way by then what our journey to baby will be!

Hows early pregnancy treating you Illa??

 

[Illa]

That's good.
I know TWW is a killer, I had talked myself completely out before I got my positive. Are you going to test before your appt, or just wait? Fingers crossed for you as well.
It's good. Just tired

 

[mnelson815]

My test date should be Dec.1, but since we have the RE appointment on Wednesday, I might test that morning. But I will only be 11dpo then, so it might be too early.

I know! I go back and forth in my head all the time. I dont want to get too ahead of myself and set myself up for failure, but I also feel like sometimes I need to be more positive about it and enjoy those moments before I know I am out for sure.

Happy to hear about your symptoms being pretty mild! When are you going to tell family and friends?

I was hoping that I could get a positive this month so I could share the news with the Fam at Christmas time (just my immediate family like parents and siblings)

 

[BelleNuit]

Mnelson 11 dpo would be far enough along if you were wanting to test. But who am I to talk, I'm 11/12 dpo and too chicken to test

Hold on to those positive feelings. They're what keep you going when things get hard.

 

[mnelson815]

Started spotting with some tan cm. Turned off my override setting and it puts me at 7dpo. Same as last month. This is ridiculous to spot this early. I am out, and feel pretty foolish about getting so excited about this cycle.

Hoping the best for you Belle since its after 12 now and I haven't seen you update your chart!

 

[BelleNuit]

I'm so sorry mnelson about the spotting. Ugh!!!! So frustrating!

Well it's 2 PM and still no spotting!!!! I might pick up an hpt on the way home to use tomorrow morning. I'm actually so nervous about it I could vomit. I'll make DH watch the test develop with me

 

[mnelson815]

OMG Belle do it!!! I am so excited for you! I definitely think you should do this and test in the morning! I literally cannot wait!

And because I am in a terrible mood now, this will be my mood-brightener, so now you pretty much have to test

 

[BelleNuit]

Well, I bought the test, which was nerve wracking enough! Its sitting on my bathroom counter now. As long as no spotting shows up this evening I'll test in the morning. I seriously can't even believe I'm at the point where I think its worthwhile to take a pregnancy test!

I'm trying to remain cautious though. The last time this happened it turned out I just miscalculated my ovulation and AF showed up 2 days later than what I expected it would. I SO hope that's not the case this time around!

I know you can't judge anything by cervix position but its medium-high, soft and closed, which also has me excited.

SO freaking nervous ladies. I've never seen a positive pregnancy test. I'm afraid even to hope for it. DH is really nervous too. He told me that if I feel too anxious about it that there is no point in stressing over it and we can always test later in the week. I really appreciated him saying that.

Mnelson I can appreciate feeling upset over the spotting you got today. I have been there so many times. If you want to vent about it feel free to do so! I'll curse the world right along with you!

Mnelson I am sorry about your spotting. Fingers crossed it goes away. Maybe implantation spotting?

Belle I'm so excited for you. I keep checking back in the thread to see if you posted. I'll check back tomorrow morning! Good luck hun

 

[BelleNuit]

I think I'm only 11 dpo so I'm not going to test tomorrow. I'll wait to see if I spot tomorrow.

 

[BelleNuit]

Started spotting so I'm out. AF will probably be here on Monday as I suspect fertility friend doesn't have my O date right. Here we go, cycle 16's about to start

 

[sil]

I'm so sorry belle my heart is broken for you. Ugh. Curse spotting and curse af
