TWW starts today! Who's with me?!

[BabyHopes.]

Onebump - That truly is an interesting theory. I'm most def going to try it out! A little positive thinking never hurt anyone, right?!?!
Hi Louise, I'm on my third cycle as well. Fx'ed that the old saying "third times a charm" will apply to us this month!
Are any of you ladies early testers? Or do you wait till AF is late? I really want to try to hold out this month, but it's sooo hard!

Yay teachers! I'm ALSO a teacher, and ALSO on cycle #3. We're like TTC soul mates! hehe

I tend to test as of CD10, but promise myself not to get sad if it's negative... last time I kept getting negatives until CD16 (2 days late for AF). Although I may have miscounted my O day.

Hi onebump I'm a teacher too! Had my parents evening last week though.

I'm on my third cycle of trying to concieve baby number 2. I have a DD who is 2.

Do you find it hard to find the energy to BD while being a teacher?!

AF is due on the 21st but I'm trying no to get my hopes up too much this time as I was so disappointed last month after some decptive symptoms.

We have a hard time fitting it into our schedule for sure. I normally get up at 6ish, and get home from the school at 4. Hubby doesn't get up until 9am for work, and get's home at 7 or so. Usually by 8 or 9pm I'm exhausted and for bed (lame eh? Oh the life of a teacher), whereas hubby has 'just gotten home' and wants to relax for a bit. By then, I'm asleep on the couch! The story of our lives.

Louisesix and Babyhopes I know what you mean. On the up side for myself, OH gets up at the same time as me, so we manage to do most of BDing in the am...because I tend to be exhausted by bed time. Glad I'm not alone lol.

Torres, I was a bad tester the last two months and I didn't like the feeling. I am hoping that I can hold out this month till at least the day before AF is due. But I can't make any promises either.

 

[LouiseSix]

Hey this is weird with all the teacherness and 3rd cycle!

I hope third time's a charm as I concieved my DD third time trying.

I tested a ridiculous amount last cycle but mainly because I was convinced I was pg as kept feeling sick everyday - turns out it was a virus. I have never felt like that before in my life except when I was pregnant.

Not sure when I'll test this month - will really try to hold out. Had a bfp on cycle day 11 with previous pregnancy and it came up straight away.

 

[NoodleSnack]

I'm at about the same place as you ladies. I finally got my cross-hair CD31, today is 4 dpo. I was so worried I wouldn't ovulate, I spent my free time poring over people's charts to see if anyone ovulated with charts like mine. Now I'm just glad to know I can ovulate.

I don't know my LP yet, so I plan on giving it a bit more time to avoid all the angst that comes with trying to interpret the results without a clear answer, so I'm going to test on the 24th. Haven't bought the tests yet, I will only buy them close to that date. Really hoping this month is the charm.

Good luck to everyone here, keep positive thoughts.

You're not alone. I get sleepy at night and prefer to BD in the morning. Hubby is a grouch in the morning and prefer to BD at night. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[Torres]

Welcome Noodle! I have a feeling this thread may be a lucky one! Fx'ed and positive thoughts all the way!

 

[Torres]

Any symptoms ladies?

 

[onebumpplease]

I've been cramping a lot.

Have also had two twinges in my lower back, pain in my left breast. I was in a club last night at a hen night, didn't drink anything, which was tough. However someone's perfume was really making me gag. Blech, hopefully a symptom, as the perfume seemed nice, just caught my throat.

Woke up today with practically no symptoms at all, breasts may feel a bit achy at the mo, but not sore to touch. I think I'm just symptom spotting. ho hum!

I had a low temperature today, which makes me panic a little that I may not have ovulated at all....hmmm. interpreting temps seems quite difficult.

However I'm not going to let that panic have a great amount of time. I will deal with it over the next couple of hours to get back to my positive attitude, determined not to go back to being as negative as I have been recently.

Anyone else?

 

[BabyHopes.]

I haven't noticed a single thing. I'm starting to question if I even o'ed this month. Although I didn't get any symptoms with my last BFP/CP either so I guess I can't rule it put. I've got some ICs coming this week. I've decided to take off to Florida with sine friends for March Break, so that should be a good distraction. I'll be 10dpo when I get back. Hopefully hubby won't have intercepted my package and hidden the tests! He's worries about me testing early after the the heartache last cycle. But I don't think I can wait that long!!!
Good luck to you ladies - stay positive, and I'll check in at the end if the week! Hopefully well have an early BFP by then?

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey girls! Would love to wait this out with y'all!!

I am in my 10th cycle all together but only 4th cycle since my miscarriage!! I plan on testing the 20th as well. FX for us all.

No real symptoms yet. Going to try not to symptom spot this cycle as I am taking Progesterone which gives the same symptoms ironically. So I really won't be able to tell if it's the meds or really my body. Doh!

 

[Torres]

Welcome Snow! Sorry about your miscarriage. Fx'd you get your sticky bean this month!
Onebump- It's so hard not to symptom spot tho isn't it? I woke up with cramps this morning, knew they were probably from something I ate yesterday, but couldn't help but have the wishful thinking that they were implantation cramps. My breasts do fill a bit heavy, but they did last month too! It's so frustrating! But I'm keeping with the positive thinking, and it really is making this TTW a little more tolerable than the last couple.
Baby- have a great time in Florida! I bet it will be great escaping to nice weather for a week! Looking forward to hearing about it when you get back.
The weather here is going to be really nice this week, so I'm looking forward to spending the days outside with my daughter. Hoping it will help the week fly by and keep my mind occupied on other things!

Could be the implantation dip, if you have a FF chart, we can all help interpret.

 

[Torres]

How are you ladies doing?
I'm pretty much symptom free, and starting to feel a little down.

 

[snowflakes120]

Torres - I'm have a bit of a down day too. I have some sore BB's and that's about it and it's hard to know if it's really from the Progesterone I'm taking.... Not to long til the weekend then it will be test time soon!!

 

[LouiseSix]

Hi,

Feel pretty symptom free

All I've had are a morning of stomach cramps and backache yesterday which was probably 6DPO but no sore boobs which I had when pg with my DD.

Managed to BD every night for 5 nights across my ovulation period so don't think I could have done much more...

Anyone else getting symptoms?

 

[onebumpplease]

Ok so, i have been having loweer back ache,worse yesterday than today. Very sore/sensitive nipples and a BFN,however am only 9 do.
Am on mobile,will try figure out how to post my bbt chart tom. Tc ladies x

 

[Torres]

Onebump- sounding good for you. And 9 dpo is too early to test, I think. I know some ppl do start getting faint lines, but I think that's pretty rare.
Louise & Snow - it's frustrating not having any symptoms, but a lot of women don't get any before their BFP. I'm keeping my fx'd that this is the case for us.
The only thing I have been noticing is very mild cramping and an increase in gas
What day is everyone actually planning on testing? I'm going to try to wait till sunday, but I may cave on Saturday!

 

[onebumpplease]

Before you say it I know I know,

I'm hoping to wait to Saturday, but feel a caving in tomorrow. Don't know why I do it to myself....

I hope no symptoms is a symptom for you girls but my body likes symptoms for a symptom

 

[Torres]

How are you feeling today onebump? Don't worry about caving, I had to have a mental fight with myself this morning not to test! And testing one day early I don't think is caving, just maybe a jumpstart!
Keep us posted! Fx'd it's a BFP!
