Waiting For 10/27...

[Rebel-Fairy30]

Hi all!

I am with all of you. Also waiting. 1st time TTC, I am very nervous, excited, and a bit paranoid.
Too scared I won't get my BFP this month.
Can't stop thinking about that. I feel every pain, twinge and soreness as a sign of pregnancy...
My heart races, my blood rushes in my veins and then reality strikes...
I often forget that these 'signs' are usually AF signs too...

Good luck for all. Hope this is our lucky month.

Nice to "meet" you, Rebel Fairy! So, is this your month TTC or TTC your first baby, but for a couple of months? I know I'm in the same boat--especially early on, I took every little thing as a sign of pregnancy. Then when I'd get those BFNs I'd be SO upset. I'm trying (and succeeding a little, I think) to not stress too much now. It's just so hard--it makes you SO conscious of every little thing your body does. Us women are truly incredible! And if it doesn't happen this month, that doesn't mean it won't happen next. But honestly...I hope this is OUR LUCK MONTH, too! =)

I am going to buy a book like "The Dude's Guide to Pregnancy" and give it to my husband at dinner (gift wrapped, of course!) if I get a ... although I might have to wake him up early while I'm getting ready for work because I don't know if I can contain myself!!

I always wonder how long we should wait before telling people. I guess I'll cross that bridge when we get there!

That's too cute! I talked to my husband early on and asked if he'd rather be surprised, and he would. I bought a digital pregnancy test, so when I do tell him I'll just give that to him. The 1 vs. 2 lines aren't quite as exciting as seeing "pregnant", though I'll test with lots of the cheapies first to be sure. I just think it would be so much fun to have him see that. Not sure how I'll give it to him. I guess it will depend on when we get that BFP! =) As far as everyone else goes...well, that depends on when we get it to. I do plan to wait a while before I tell them, though. =)

One thing I do know I'll do is give our parents, my grandparents and even my great-grandma (I'm so lucky to have a great-grandma and my baby will be so lucky to have a great-great-grandma!) these books...the grandma's/grandpa's books of memories. There are lots of different ones out there, and they're SO neat. It has all these questions to have them record their childhood memories, thoughts/hopes for their future grandchild. I know I would love to have those written down and would cherish them. I'd love to be able to pass them down to my kids...what an amazing heirloom! I'll be making everyone fill them out. =)

My AF is due the 30th or 31st, but I figured I would join in here since its pretty close!

I actually started my ovulation 2 days ago, so I guess I'm 2DPO. Although I have been having symptoms for a week now, so not sure if somehow I released an egg early after my AF or what? I have heard of several people getting pregnant trying right after their AF when they thought they were in the "safe" zone. So there is a chance.......either way we are BD tonight since it is the 'charted' ovulation day.

The wait for POAS is hard, I've been through this before with my first child. Luckily I got pregnant with her the first try! I was supposed to be sterile and unable to bear children but God opened my womb and I had my miracle baby, who is now almost 5! I long for twins.......so praying for that this time!!

SO exciting! Welcome!!! Are you doing the OPKs too, or just charting? Either way, the more BDing, the better! =) I hope your prayer is answered...my mom keeps saying I'm going to have twins because they run in the family and my doctor said at one point that it was likely, but I don't know about that. It would be amazing though! I hope you get yours!!! =)

Thanks! Just charting and I have been charting for 5 months and know when I ovulate most of the time, but we just starting actually trying this month, so its our first month.

Hi krazykat, hope you get a lucky double BFP!! Twins would be FAB!

Hello rebelfairy welcome to the 2ww! Is this your first time TTC ever? Hope you get lucky first time!
(but then we are ALL getting BFP's in this group!! )

Sash, what a good idea with the book!! My OH would love something like that too

Amanthony, how is the 2ww finding you today?

I have tender bbs today, not a normal thing for me, I'm hoping it means my progesterone levels are good

Lucky sticky dust to all

Hey Dan-O!

Today was busy--family weekend of cleaning out the garage and attic at my parents' house, so lots of work. Lots of fun though, too. We uncovered the cradle that my grandmother got for my mom when she was born, and which my mom used for me when I was born. She pulled it down so that we can clean and refinish it for my first. Things like that make me so excited. Because it will happen one day. I just want it to be THIS month!

Also--while I would absolutely LOVE a happy, healthy baby boy there's also a little bit of pressure (though maybe it's just me and my own pressure) to have a girl. My grandmother was the oldest of her siblings, she had my mom first, my mom had me first. It's like all of the heirloom stuff was passed from each woman to her daughter as the eldest child. I'm afraid I'll have only boys, because of that! Of course I'd be blessed and thrilled to have even just one baby, it just seems like that would be the way for me. =)

Sorry for the ramble...it's been a LONG day! Just thinking a lot.

Geez, it seems like it's still SO long until we can test! Hope you all had great days!

One day less till we all get to test!

Well ... I did a HPT today I am only 6dpo so I know it's WAYYYY too early but I couldn't resist. I think I am emotionally preparing myself to see a ... or I just enjoy torturing myself.

My sister-in-law got a this weekend and she was devastated even though it is only their first month trying and she just stopped taking the BCP last month. I don't want to be that upset if it doesn't happen this month.

AGHHHHH, I hate the 2WW!!!!

You sound like me lol. I went and got 3 tests tonight and getting ready to try one......I just can't wait anymore, even though it is too early to tell, it just feels good to POAS! Here's hoping for a for all of us in the near future!

 

[dan-o]

AAArrrrrghhhhh! I know what you mean, this 2ww is KILLING me!
I am DESPERATE to POAS, but know nothing will come up for at least another 5 days, whats wrong with me?

Symptom spotting, I have tingly nips (never had this before) & bbs are deffo more tender than usual but not too bad, they have also grown for sure & feel heavier than normal. I also feel hot, but I guess thats the temp rise. Maybe I'm getting cold as my nose is tingling & a bit watery too. Great.

The most bizarre symptom I have is the overwhelming urge to bake (!) am I nesting? pmsl

 

[krazykat]

Well I did it, I went ahead and POAS even though its like 11 days too early LOL. Yep it was a but what did I expect so early?? I'm only about 3dpo. But I know this may sound "krazy" but I believe that I am pregnant and with twins, a boy and a girl. I just KNOW........if I'm wrong, then you all have my permission to call me krazy for real lol.

Before I forget, here's a vid someone else posted a while ago, not sure if you guys have seen it but its fab!

I'm glad that I'm not the only nut here !!

Last night I had a very vivid dream that I had just had a baby girl. I was breastfeeding and everything. She had dark hair Not sure if the dream has any significance or just wishful thinking/dreaming ... but I felt all warm and fuzzy when I woke up this morning.

Only 1 more week of waiting. We can do it!

 

[amanthony]

I'm SO glad I'm not the only crazy one here! The last 2 mornings I've been waking up, doing the peepee dance around the room holding the test fighting with myself about whether I should take it or not. =) So far I haven't taken one. Fear of the keeps me from taking it.

My husband thinks I definitely am pregnant. My boobs are fuller and firmer than normal and SO sore! I'm hoping hoping hoping, but still scared to even say that I think I am.

7 DPO today. I'm trying to wait until 10 DPO to test, which is Thursday. Dan-O said she saw positives as early as 8 though, so I'm tempted to do one tomorrow...

Thanks for keeping me sane, girls! I love our cycle group!

 

[Chris77]

Yes waiting definitely sucks! AF should arrive between Oct 22nd and the 27th. (cycles are bit unpredictable)

 

[dan-o]

Only after looking at about 5 million other charts on FF, I think one or two on this site have had early BFP's too, but the average seems to be more like 12dpo. I think 10dpo would be a better bet for an earlier test, i'm a day behind you now, so thats 4 DAYS TO WAIT!!! NOooooo!

Hi Chris, welcome to the 'everyone here is getting a BFP' cycle buddy group!

Symptom spotting - My bb's are deffo still tender & BIGGER, like I said, not normal for me. Not much else tho, just the odd twinge, nose still fizzy. Had a hot flush last night, but that might have been the chilli I was eating, ha! And lastly very vivid dreams, lots of em & about all sorts.

 

[Sash13]

Well, I don't know if these are symptoms of pregnancy or symptoms of the Fall season ... but my skin is incredibly dry (eczema seems to be making a comeback for the first time since childhood) and I don't have the smooth complexion I usually have.

I am also not taking the Amitryptaline I was taking before to help me sleep (I have RLS) and I am barely sleeping!!

Well I took one today at 8 DPO which was, of course, negative.

I signed in with FF yesterday, which TOTALLY confused me. I'm not charting temps, but with my CM it said it never detected ovulation, though I had EWCM for a couple of days followed by NOTHING. When I overrode it and put in my OPK results (+ on Sat 10/11 and fainter + Sun 10/12) it put me at a SUNDAY ovulation instead of MONDAY so...am I one more DPO or what?!? And why didn't it think I ovulated?

It did make me realize, though, that my AF is due 10/28 instead of 10/27 if I'm in a 31 day cycle--it's the 32nd day that it happens, the 31st is the last day of current then AF starts day 1. When my ticker says I have 6 days to test, it means 6 days and on the 7th I can test. So that sets me back a day from what I was thinking. But if ovulation happened a day earlier then I'm even? What the eff?!?!

Toward the evening my boobs got less sore and though they still feel firmer/fuller, they don't look as big. Still broken out, still have the itchy nose (though it could be allergies) and now some minor cramps, but way too early for AF cramps. Probably just driving myself sick with all this!

Seriously, though...FF is confusing! I need to play with it a bit more to figure it out. How do you get the link to show someone else your chart? Or do you any of you have yours that you'd be willing to show me, so I can compare?

Sorry for this...needed to vent.

On a positive note...1 day less for all of us to wait!
