Hey Sarah - when are you gonna share with us the news????

Hi Maria!

My temp today is back down 96.9 my temps have been all over the place :/ I only ha the ewcm once yesterday when I wiped and that was the only time yesterday just once not all day or anything. It's been a little creamy sometimes not all the time other then that I'm just really moist down there which is unusual. I have the same little very lower left abdomen pokes its not uncomfortable I can't describe what it feels like its like little stretches/poke like pains down there! It doesn't hurt it's just weird feeling! Ha I don't know what to think! I guess I can just wait for af and if she doesn't come take that as a good sign!!

I see that FF gave you crosshairs officially...and now you're in the TWW! The crosshairs pinpoint the day that you ovulated. The horizontal line, is your coverline. Temps above the line are good. Watch for dips below the line in the middle of the cycle (could be an implantation dip) and dips nearer the end of the cycle could mean that AF is coming.

At this point, it's still a bit early for those stretches/pokes to be pg related...I know what you're talking about though. I get them most months. But if you have them in another week or so, they could mean good things. Hope this is it for you!

I don't know when I will get my cross hairs, my temp this morning was slightly lower than yesterday so now I'm thinking it will say I ovulated today rather than yesterday but I won't know for another couple of days plus i got my smiley face on friday - today is monday!

all I know is I need to get through the rest of the week, all weekend, all next week and then finally it will be the weekend when I will probably get yet another period and then I will have to start my 7th month of trying Where has the last 6 months gone anyway suppose I'm on a downer - sorry girls. just a baby boom around me and I can tell people are starting to suspect I am pregnant but hiding it - but I'm not. it's like they are waiting for me to announce.

Good luck everyone, sorry for the moan, I should just go to bed!

Feel free to moan, Gemmy. That's what we're here for! Crossing my fingers for ov for you. I know how frustrating it can be to wait and wait for it...Only two weeks to go until we find out if we get to celebrate another BFP around here. I hope so!!

I'm not looking forward to AF coming this cycle...I mean, that'll mean I'll be at 10 cycles trying (and 9 months). I'm creeping closer and closer to a year...the months feel like they're dragging when I'm waiting, but when I look back I feel as if they've flown by!

And I've been so bloated that a student brought in an u/s of a family member's baby and while I was looking at it, someone asked if I was going to announce that it was mine! I could tell an "about time" was going to come next if I said yes...embarrassing.

Awww, Gemmy, since I started TTC in July, 7 people have gotten pregnant, I feel like the only female my age who isn't pregnant, it does get me down at times-big hugs!!
My BBT thermometer arrived today and I've signed up to fertility friend. I am excited to start charting. Also, I'm not sure of I have been ovulating so hopefully now I will find out for sure.
Good luck ladies!

I know how you feel!! So many people on my facebook feed are pg and announcing. I feel like disabling updates sometimes. But I'm going to use it as motivation. I don't want to be left out.

Hooray for another FF convert! I hope charting will give you the answers you're looking for!

 

[bree801]

Yay!!!! Keep us posted praying for your bfp!

Omg! Temp up more today!

98.3

Lately its been around 97.8-97.9! I read this is a good sign for 9dpo! Omg! Its soooo hard not to test right now!

A temp rise is good around 9DPO, but keep in mind it could be a natural fluctuation. See what tomorrow's temp looks like. If it's still up, maybe your chart will go triphastic, which is a really good sign.

I would give it another day or two before you test (gives the hormones more time to build up and you'll get a better line if there's more hcg in there). I can't wait to hear what happens.

I know I'm so excited! So far a temp spike at 7 dpo and now a temp rise at 9 dpo! And I can't stop peeing like every 45 mins! And crampy this evening but on the full side! Got my mother in law to bake me a ham! Yes a full ham!!! Mmmmmm

 

[bree801]

Awe yay then I can be excited! I thought I ovulated cd 19 so yay! Now waiting is going to kill me! :/

 

[sarah_anne]

And welcome to the new ladies!

I am 6 dpo today, and finally have stopped spotting. I had a headache today, a little bit of backache, and sore nipples. That is it for me. Temp is high- 98.8....going to wait to test until at least 10 dpo. I don't know if I can take another BFN.

Good luck everyone!

tonight was rough at my workout. I just couldn't do as much or as long. I was so tired and my muscles just couldn't handle it, plus the heat was too much even in the hot tub after my workout. Shew! I'm pooped! I usually work out every night for around 2 hours but tonight I just did a little over an hour and felt more exhausted! :/

A girl! How wonderful. I think I went with boy before, but all day yesterday, I was thinking "I bet it's a girl." Totally covered. lol. Hooray!!! So are you settling on a name or are you going to keep a couple of options open until she arrives? So happy she showed you the bits this time! Yay!

Wendy! So only 4 or 5 more days until testing! I'm so looking forward to seeing if your BFP!

Eeeek im only 4dpo and going crazy! How do you ladies do it!?

Mostly hanging around here really...lol. I'm 5DPO today. When are you planning on testing?

tonight was rough at my workout. I just couldn't do as much or as long. I was so tired and my muscles just couldn't handle it, plus the heat was too much even in the hot tub after my workout. Shew! I'm pooped! I usually work out every night for around 2 hours but tonight I just did a little over an hour and felt more exhausted! :/

That sounds like an interesting symptom...I would probably really limit hot tub time until you know if you're pg. And if you are, you should avoid the hot tub entirely (or stay in less than 10 minutes total).

I don't want to alarm you, but raising your temp so high (in the hot tub) in early pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects. A warm/hot bath is better if you want to relax, because the water cools off, where as in a hot tub, it doesn't.

 

[bree801]

i think I'm 5dpo as of today the 24th according to ff. SO we are like exactly the same ! I'm not sure yet =/ how about you?

has anyone had insomnia around 6/7dpo? i've been nauseas the last couple of days and havent been sleeping well. Really vivid dreams, so much so that last night i woke up sobbing after saying goodbye to my grandfather n my dream and he passed away 22 years ago! and again im only sleeping for an hour or so at a time, feeling really hot too. Need sleep

 

[babyready12]

10 DPO! I am getting there. I have been nauseas off and on ( more on than off) since 7 dpo. I always get really sore bbs about a week before af and this time i have nothing. I keep waking up and pressing on them and they are not sore at all. Hoping this is a good sign but trying to wait till Saturday!!

Hello,

I'm new to this site and I am TTC. This is our first month that we are trying. I'm not sure on when I am expected to ovulate. I've been having regular periods of 29-30 days generally. My last period was on April 1st and my hubby and I had baby making sex on 11, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20 as per the Doc's suggestion. This week I've been feeling slightly giddy, some strange feelings in my tummy, a bit increased CM, slight bloating and excessively tired on few days. Waiting to test on the day my period is due. Anybody else on the same boat??

 

[bree801]

My temps are still weird this month. I haven't been temping at th same time everyday due to my weird work schedule this week! :/ I really feel like I'm out this cycle though ): ugh I get so down!! But I guess this is my first month charting! So fingers crossed for next cycle! I still don't know what's up with this ewcm with fmu there is soooo much of it.. Very unusual! And then the rest of the day there is just a lot of white/yellowish creamy cm so I dont know what to think! Anyways welcome new ladies goodluck to you all! Don't get discouraged!
