TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[HappyCpl]

Mama, please tell us you tested today!!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

Just tested and its negative so far. I was seriously undecided if I'd test while I was peeing in the cup! Lol but finally I said "oh just do it and don't get bummed" so I'm trying not to. Not out yet and it's still early early and it was a dollar test sooo....testing again Saturday. Fx! I did have some crazy vivid dreams last night.

How's everyone else this morning??

 

[HappyCpl]

That stinks about the BFN. But by no means means that you're out. Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

I didn't test again today. I actually remembered after I peed... Lots of watery CM this morning. So I'm wondering if I ever did O...

I had a really crazy dream last night! af due on saturday, cervix seems high still at the moment where as this time last month is was so low! got no real symptoms apart from my boobs might be a bit more sore than normal but dont know if thats just in my head!xx

Mama I wouldn't read too much into the bfn - loads of people wouldn't get a bfp at 10dpo. Maybe it's right to wait until sat when hopefully it would show. Really have my fingers crossed!

Happycpl - hmmm maybe you are right and you've not ov yet. Hope you find out one way or another soon

agree 100% especially on a cheap test!

So I just got the book Down Came The Rain by Brooke Shields. I'm not too far into it yet but she's talking all about her struggles with infertility and its really tugging my heart strings. Like I said, not far into it but this far is totally recommend it. It's a book about her dealing with postpartum depression so not focused on fertility stuff but still...thought I'd share

How's everyone doing? I was thinking that I may not have even ov till a day or 2 after ff says I did and this could be only 8-9 dpo which would make it that much more too early for testing. Still got my fingers crossed but I'm also just feeling thankful that this clomid dose worked so well and I seem to have ov so strongly. If nothing else maybe now our attempts and cycles will be more smooth sailing and if I'm not pregnant this month hopefully I will be soon.

Morning ladies,

How are you all doing??? Any updates?

I woke up at 5 to temp today and felt the beginnings of period cramps so I have a feeling AF may be on her way. She's use to show up this weekend so I'm hoping these cramps don't mean she's a day early. Don't want to lose an LP day! Odd part though is that I always spot before cramps hit and so far no spotting at all and my temp is still up there. :shrugs: Is it typical to get period like cramping in early pregnancy? It's not the crazy intense cramps that normally hit when AF is in full swing, it's more just a general, dull crampy gross feeling. I don't know...regardless, cramps plus the negative test yesterday, I'm gearing up for a I'm bummed but I'm okay. I'm about to renew my contract at work this coming week and if I get a I'll feel obligated to tell them so right away because if I don't and then a few months from now they find out that makes me seem really dishonest and deceitful. I'm worried they won't renew me if they know...soooo...maybe a is a blessing for now... But that said I will still be ecstatic with a and regardless of what work says I will just be thrilled to be pregnant!!!

Anyway...that's me today. Anyone else around???

I wouldn't rule yourself out yet mama, its very common for the first couple of weeks or so in early pregnancy to feel like you are about to get AF, its actually the egg bedding itself into your womb so very normal. If AF isn't here tomorrow morning I'd def test again. Remember I absolutely thought I was out but still got my BFP so there is definitely hope!

 

[runnergrl]

Im here mama and yes, dull achy cramps are an excellent sign of early pregnancy. That was the only consistent sign I had actually
I am having a bit of a struggle today as it marks the gestation where I lost my sweet Ella 5 months ago. I am happy to have made it this far with new baby, but I am missing her terribly..
Hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!

I also had AF like cramps with DD. That and sore boobs were my first signs. I kept thinking AF was coming, so it could be a very good sign and your temps look great!

runnergrl...nothing anyone can say will ever take the hurt you feel away, but just remember that we are here for you.

I hope everyone else is doing well and we get some BFPs in here soon!

afm- I haven't been able to take my temp the last 2 days because my alarm clock never went off! I guess it's time for a new one. FF has me at 6dpo today, and if I did ovulate, I think that would be accurate. We only bd once two days before that, which still gives us a slight chance. I'm not really very optimistic this cycle though, and don't even really feel the urge to test, so if AF comes I won't be too disappointed. Of course a BFP would be a great surprise though!

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks everyone, still no sign of AF but the cramps have been there most of the day. My boobs are also very sore so it was good hearing that was a sign for you Elt! Though that's always been a pre AF symptom for me.

I'm anxious and nervous to test tomorrow!

Runnergrl - I'm so scared of a miscarriage. I can't imagine how hard that must have been and how it would absolutely stay with you. Focus on the joy of your new little bean and know that Ella will always be in your heart.

 

[MamaMac123]

Well, cramps still hanging around, breasts hurt massively and feel very full...and we can add constipation, frequent urination and heartburn to my symptom spotting. I know it will probably all come crashing down with a in the morning but tonight I'm feeling very hopeful!

[Hann12]

mama - your temp is still high though and you aren't out yet. I don't want to give false hope but equally I still have my FX for you. It wouldn't be unusual to get a BFP after 12dpo, or after x

 

[HappyCpl]

mama. Don't give up yet!

 

[MamaMac123]

Took a second test brand because I didn't trust the dollar store tests. It was also My temp is still really good. When I woke up just now and checked it again its shot up to 98.7 from 98.0 at 5 am. No sign of AF.

My only hope is that I ovulated 2 days later than ff says I did and maybe today I'm only 10 dpo. I keep remembering Jessica not getting a bfp till 20 dpo so who knows....not out yet I guess. I just felt so sure this time.

How's everyone else?

 

[Hann12]

If you are only 10-12 dpo it definitely may not show yet so don't lose hope. I know quite a few people who didn't show until 15/16dpo and doctors advise only taking pregnsncy tests after a missed AF so 15+ dpo to ensure its accurate. Your temp sounds great though so just hope that's a good sign for you, it was for me

 

[MamaMac123]

Temp drop today and AF has now arrived. Started spotting last night so I was expecting as much *sigh* Really thought this was our cycle. Back to cd1...
