Ready- Sorry about the bfn I am right there with ya. I am waiting to see if I get af. My last cycle was 30 days (my cycles used to be severely irregular.) so I could have AF between 28-30 days. Today makes cd 28 and 13 dpo.
I talked to a friend who is 2 months away Fr popping and she told me to find out what my moms symptoms were because mine would be similar. If you can find out as well then maybe you will find that she didn't have early symptoms??
My friend also reminded me that HcG can be low one day and double by the next and that every woman has different levels in early pregnancy. So, to me, you are not out until af shows!!

Mommy- I am SOOO happy that worked!! I started crying while reading your post, you're son is so adorable!! I am really happy that the doctors helped with it as well!

Mrs- Thank you! Me too! Lol as far as testing, I will have to wait until Saturday morning because I get paid tomorrow. I didn't have enough to spare for eveen the cheap tests :'( but this time I am getting something a bit more sensitive!!
Btw, JEALOUS!! I want 4 day work days!!

smommy- thank you!!

I think I am caught up now..

ASM- Nausea is picking up. At work we had to clean out a NASTY house! Went to the garage and ran out gagging.i kept rying to go in but wound up puking lol my boss asked my hubby if I am pg because she did the same thing when she was. My boobs are sort of sore and feel full, but I am still a little doubtful. I just want to test agaaaaiiinnn!!!

 

[PeachDaisy]

Well, I threw up this morning. I was cooking breakfast and felt it coming so I had to run over to the kitchen sink. It was awful. Could just be drainage since I've had this sore throat and massive amounts of mucus back there, but I'm hoping it's me moving towards a BFP! As soon as I threw up I was fine. So who knows.

 

[ab75]

Fx for you Peachy and Bab xx

 

[Smommy013]

Sounds good Peach!!!

 

[Renaendel]

Peach, Sorry you were sick, but I hope this is it! You have had a rough go at things and it is past time you got your stick bean. Pleeeeeease be pregnant.

Bab, your symptoms sound good too!

Mommy, so glad your son is doing ok now. Those infections are so scary and I bet he is is bit of pain still. I hope he feels better soon.

Ready, you have been so sweet and kind. Thank you for all your help. It is nice to have someone who has done this before to get advice from.

Mrs, you got pregnant so quickly after your first cervix fix that I bet it will happen soon. Thanks for posting the testing schedule so I can cheer you all on.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Bab-Friday 8/30
Me-Sunday 8/31
Ready- Monday 9/1 ???
MG-Tues 9/2 (10 dpo)
Peach- Saturday 9/6
Mommy- Sunday 9/7


Bab-How are you today?
Peach-I so hope this is it for you girl!!

Afm-I am testing on Sunday only because that is my last progesterone pill, and that is what dr told me to do. Although I am confused because he had me start them when I got the smiley face on my opk but according to ff I am only 9dpo today and that would make me 11dpo on Sunday, the last day of my progesterone. I don't know if that will be too early to show up on a test, I did have a temp dip yesterday and went back up today so I guess I'll see what happens tomorrow on temp, idk I am just kind of confused on this progesterone stuff

 

[Renaendel]

That is really really weird. I have always seen progesterone start several days after the positive opk. You start once you see a temperature rise that confirms ovulation. I though they didn't start you until that because you want to make sure the ovulation was successful.

If you stop but test late like me won't you have a withdrawal bleed?

 

[BABTTC123]

Peach- all of it sounds good! Even the mucus!! I have heard that cold like symptoms are an early pg symptom! FX for you!!!

Mrs- I wish I could be of more help as far as progesterone.. I have never had it and my current doctor is a bit neglectful. I am giving her a chance before trying to get my old one back. (Hadn't used the clinic in ages and when I returned they gave me someone else.)

ASM- I am doing fine today. Very minor nausea so far. CP was medium/low and soft and closed. Cm is kind of creamy and sticky. Still no sign of AF at all. I am hoping that my cycle isn't trying to go all irregular on me again!
my boobs are mildly sore right now but occasionally will hurt more. Testing tomorrow so we shall see what happens!!

 

[PeachDaisy]

Thanks so much ladies!!

Bab - I have heard that too! So fx!! But at the same time trying not to get my hopes up too high after all these months of disappointment.

 

[PeachDaisy]

So I did my cervix check like I normally do around this time, I couldn't get to it at all. My vaginal walls seem to be swollen. They don't hurt, I just didn't really have room to get anywhere in there...if that makes sense. Haha! However, there was a ton of creamy CM on my vaginal walls which was surprising bc I couldn't get to my cervix. Here is yet another sign that has me super hopeful at this point!

Oh, and has anyone ever heard of dry eyes as a symptom? Just curious bc my eyes have been drying out a lot the past few days. I don't wear contacts or work in a dusty environment or anything. Just seems odd.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

Ren-that is what I read everywhere and I even called back and asked and they (nurse) checked with dr and confirmed to start the day i got the smiley face. Last time I tested - on 11dpo and didn't test again until 15dpo and get my +. So I don't know, and I for sure don't know about a withdraw bleed. They told be to test the last day I take it and if bfn af will show and if bfp call them. So I have nothing. I think I will see how this month goes then call them and go from there. Thanks for all of the information, I love learning all of this and like to know what I am talking about when I call the dr to discuss.

 

[Renaendel]

Often day 4 will work, can you call Monday morning? Ok we posted at the same time lol.

 

[Mrs. Burch]

They are closed Monday so I will have to call Tuesday, but I will see how long it takes for af to show up after I stop taking the progesterone, maybe it lasts a few days longer, so lp could be 12-13 days and then that would be ok. Who knows, not me that is for sure! lol

You gals have a wonderful weekend-hope you get to do something fun for the long weekend. I'll update on Sunday or Monday.

 

[BABTTC123]

Mrs- Have a fun weekend! FX for your bfp!!

Peach- I had the same thing happen to me around 6-7 dpo! I usually have that happen RIGHT before AF but this time it happened super early and hasn't happened again.

QUESTION FOR ALL!!
Do any of you believe in premonitionary dreams??
Earlier this week I had a dream that I had a baby boy and for some reason someone told me to leave him under a chair because that was safest. For some dumb reason I went ahead and did it. The next morning he appeared to be dead so I held him and cried and he woke up! We had named him Alec. Now I hadn't told ANYONE other than my husband the details of this dream and the only other people who I mentioned that I had this dream to are on this site.
Tiday, my friend Rain messaged me and told me that she had a dream about me having a baby boy named Alec and that she was watching him for me and somehow he got up on a chair, fell off and possibly died. She said in her dream she panicked and couldn't get a hold of anyone and had no way of getting him to the hospital so she bawled.
That's where her dream ended.
Coincidence that both dreams it was a baby boy named Alec and that he died via a chair??? I am kind of freaked out about the chair idea.. What the hell could that mean???????

 

[BABTTC123]

Woke up this morning REALLY having to pee. Didn't realize the time but I figured that I would test. Bfn. It was 1:00am and only 2-3 hours after I went to bed.

Got up again at 6:25am because I couldn't hold it any longer. Bfn. That is a 5 hour difference.

I used FRER so it should have picked up something but I got nothing.
I am pretty down right now about this. I think I am going to make an appointment to find out why I keep getting tricked by my body and see if I can take something to MAKE my periods start on a normal cycle. Still NO SIGN at all of AF. This means that my irregular cycles are back. Fml.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Bab-It's wild that your friend had a similar dream right down to the same name. I would be frightened but maybe don't take it so specifically. Dreams can be interpreted I many ways.
Sorry about the bfns, it is very discouraging as we all know.

My friend is insisting that I am still pregnant and that the tests aren't picking anything up yet. Which, that is completely possible BUT if I am pg with EXTREMELY low hcg that isn't doubling then that would more than likely mean it is ectopic and then the death part of the dream would make sense because it would have to be aborted. Not entirely sure about the chair part still lol
Checked my cervix and it is shut TIGHT! And my uterus feels hard.
I am making an appointment first thing on Tuesday if AF doesn't show by then. Hell, even if af does show I want to chat with my doctor about at least taking something to keeps regulated since metformin apparently isn't doing it 100%.

 

[PeachDaisy]

Bab - Keeping my fx for you! There's still hope! Keep us updated!

AFM - Today after DH and I BD'd this morning, about 20 minutes later I got up to go to the restroom to pee and clean up like usual. Well, when I wiped there was a tiny spot of blood...nothing major. I would have never even noticed if I didn't check the tp everytime I use the restroom. Haha! There has been absolutely nothing else since then. I'm of course concerned. Bc now when I think about it, when I had that last bit of spotting, it wasn't long after we BD'd....but we have BD'd between then and today with no spotting what so ever. I don't want to worry but clearly something is getting irritated when we BD. Bah!

What is the position of your cervix?
If it is low then he could be irritating it during bd.
And is there any pain during bd, or after?
Always safest to get things checked out, but it could easily be deduced to CP or even IB!
Speaking of which, how many dpo are you now??

asm- still no sign of af. I was tempted to pick up some cheap tests but I figured that I would just wait until either AF shows or until I can get into my doctor and have her run a blood test.
I have been trying to be hopeful and decided to check on cervical positions.
Apparently during Ovulation it is supposed to be HIGH-SOFT-OPEN.
After O it is supposed to drop and close up to be MEDIUM/LOW-MEDIUM/SOFT-CLOSED.
If AF arrives then it would be LOW-FIRM-SLIGHTLY OPEN.
If pregnant it will be HIGH-SOFT/MEDIUM-CLOSED.

For a little over a week now, I have had a high-soft(to medium)-CLOSED cervix. THIS has me a little hopeful, as well as reading some other forums I found on Google and ladies saying that it took them 5 days AFTER af was due to get a bfp.
Let alone a reminder that women with PCOS can have false negatives in early pregnancy and the only accurate way to get a result is to do a blood test.
Soo.... things are up in the air for now and I will see how things go.

I have been cramping like crazy lately, boobs are only mildly sore and I am still pretty emotional. Back hurts off and on but that is about it. Or and my appetite has increased quite a bit.

 

[PeachDaisy]

Bab - Everything sounds very hopeful to you!! In regards to me, I'm unsure of DPO bc I didn't track anything this cycle. Based on my average cycle though, AF should be here in a few days, Friday at the latest. There is no pain at all during or after BD. I literally would have no idea there was any blood at all if I didn't look when using the restroom. And it isn't a lot. It was like two tiny spots that were barely noticeable. I guess I just worry bc it has never happened to me before after all these years. If AF shows her ugly face, then I'll def get it checked out. If she doesn't show and I'm lucky enough for a BFP, then I'll still mention it to my doctor but at least it wouldn't seem so concerning at that point.
