[runnergrl]

Wow, I started showing around 10 or 11 weeks last time (to me) and was obvious to others by 14 weeks. I'm sure I will show much sooner this time. I LOVeD my bump! I'll see if I can find a pic of it to post. I want to see yall's belly shots from yall's #1!

 

[MamaMac123]

Ool yes ladies! Belly shots! That's a fun idea....I sad I don't have one yet...lol

 

[marieb]

Here's mine. 40 weeks exactly (day i went into labor with ds).
Can't wait to get pregnant and have a bump again. I'm excited that I'll probably show much sooner this time around.

[kimberleyrobx]

hey sanshez, i am fine! a bit disappointed because AF showed up yesterday although at least now i can start charting properly! x

 

[runnergrl]

after looking bck through my photos, I actually didnt "pop" till about 20 weeks. Cant wait to see what happens with this next one!

 

[runnergrl]

so it looks as though (and FF confirms) I ovulated on CD 18, which is fairly normal, right??? Better than the CD20 that I suspected.. So is everyone's luteal phase 14 days?? I HOPE mine is... I am now on CD 21. and is it 14 days and then you start AF on day 15 or do you start on the 14th day of the LP?
I'm a little confused.

and we leave for vacation on July 1.. We will be cutting it close. If I have a similar cycle to this one, I will O on June 30th..The night before we leave! I'm hoping to O before we leave and not have to deal with having at my parents's house and all that jazz.. I would hate for husby to not be able to get the job done because he felt weird... Would be nice to BD here at home the days leading up to and on O day. We are headed up to the mountains on our own a few days later, but I think I will have missed O by then.. Just easier to get it out of the way.. and what a great way to spend the TWW..on vacation!!

 

[HollySSmith]

Hey ladies! I'll post old belly picks when I'm on my laptop. I think a LP can be anywhere from 15-13 days, or longer in some cases. I believe it starts the day after O.
DH decided to test tomorrow so we went out tonight and picked up a pack of frer, and CB digi.
I'm going to enjoy *possibly* my last glass of wine

I have no idea about LP. Maybe I should get myself educated

LOL. I drank with a few friends last night from work. We get together every three weeks and I told them that I might not be drinking next time. Fx'd for you!!

Speaking of drinking, does it affect charting in any way. Based on +OPK, EWCM, and a major temp drop yesterday (CD15), I am pretty sure I o'd yesterday. Today (CD16) my temp shot up about a degree from the dip yesterday. I expected it to go up if I O'd, but I dont know if the drinking affected it at all???

 

[HollySSmith]

I'm not sure of the alcohol persay, but if you went to bed later, got up to pee moe than usual or drank a lot of water over night (more than you would normally), your temp won't be accurate. As to the substance itself, I have no idea lol.

That makes sense. I did get up like 3 times last night to pee, but I didnt really go to bed any later and tested at my normal time. I guess I will have to wait and see what tomorrows temp brings! *Thinking positive*!!!!!!!!

 

[runnergrl]

yes, drinking absolutely affects your temps.. I had to disregard two temps on my chart because it was on days 11 and 12 and my chart said I had O'ed.. I knew that was wrong, so I fixed it (disregarded the temps) and they have been fixed to show my actual ov took place on day 18. I looked at your chart though, and with your OPK's and CM, it looks as though you did O yesterday.. we will see tomorrow though! GL!

So I don't know if this is all in my head (and it's very possible it is!) but I'm 11/12 dpo and...

I've been getting waves of nausea for the last three days. It seems to get better when I'm sitting down but as soon as I start moving around it gets worse again. It feels like I have this pit in my stomach. I've also been super exhausted and have been having wateryish cm. I checked my cervix this morning out of curiosity and it was definitely softer and higher up than I'd expect at this point. I'm too afraid to take a HPT but thought I'd take an OPK just to see.

Obviously it's not positive but it's quite a bit darker than my last few. I took it around noon after only holding my pee for maybe two hours.

Are you thinking maybe your OPK is indicating pregnancy? Can they do that? If you're past ovulation you shouldn't be almost ovulating again yet right? I'm confused (story of my life haha)
You should take a !!!! sounds like the signs are good.

 

[MamaMac123]

So ivenoticed the last few days I've had some minor aches and pains in my lower back. I've also been a bit more irritable, fatigued and hornynthe last few days...all signs that pop up in pregnancy and ovulation. I can't imagine I'm pregnant as its pretty clear by my chart there's been no ovulation yet. My hubby commented maybe I was so I took a test for kicks and for my own sanity...I knew it would be negative but just wanted that knowledge confirmed so it wouldn't be rattling around the back of my head. Anyway, I've also had watery and somewhat ew cm this week. But yesterday my OPK was still negative. I didn't even bother testing today...all the negatives just gem me out. Hubby and I did this morning do if I did o we didn't miss it...but I don't know....I hope I did but just doubt it's gonna happen for us for a few months. Stupid bc

I agree with MamaMac! I would have POAS for a HPT by now! Im pretty impatient though and have loads of HPT's to burn through. Either way it might give you some peace of mind to get a BFN or BFP.
