8dpo - feeling the chills, temps went up by night almost went up to a fever.
9dpo - still had the chills but getting better by noon, diarrhea
11dpo - started having cramps on and off mostly bearable but there are some which feels sharp, diarrhea
12dpo - bloated (heavy), headaches (medium) and cramps(heavy) again this time lasted about 3-4 mins.
13dpo - felt hungry in my sleep gosh.. i was actually thinking in my sleep if i should grab a bite in the kitchen but i choose to sleep on haha! Got my cramps (medium) again, diarrhea again

Well I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
hope to see soon

CD22 --- 6dpo ... ughhh.. this TWW is what kills me!!! Fx'd this is our month!!!

14dpo- I had loose stools yesterday and today (sorry TMI). Find myself needing the ladies quite a number of times plus I have dry mouth (probably due to that mild diarrhea). Sense of smell increased too. Really don't wanna test yet as I think its still early. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Hello everyone!!

I was on BC for about 4 years, March 2011 I stopped taking BC but was still using protection. We started TTC in mid June 2012. I hope I get prego soon but AF has been irregular for the past few months, I am worried this will make it harder for me to get prego. Anybody have any comments/opinions/advice??

We are in the exact same boat!
My AF was always regular while I was on BC but the minute I stopped taking it AF went all wonky on me! And it is much harder to predict ovulation/testing times when I don't know when to expect anything! I feel for you!

Took another test Friday just for fun and it was NEGATIVE. Took 2 more and they were negative. I'm SO confused! So I had false positives all week long and all of a sudden it's gone? I'm confused...confused because still no period, now 2 days late and temp shot back up this morning but had a confusing dip in temp yesterday...I can't go for my bloodwork until Tuesday. This is horrible. All I did was cry yesterday when I should have been overjoyed. This is awful.

It worries me that I will have difficulty. But at the same time I say to myself I shouldnt worry because it will only stress me and make AF worst. I started taking prenatals at the end of May. Ive read they help. 2 of my friends say they got prego a little after they started taken them. Do you take/taken anything??

Has anyone experienced a positive test and then a negative one? I am 5 days late and on clomid. Normally I have only been 2 days late. I did a test on Sat because I felt sick and lightheaded and it showed negative. I went back a couple hours later and it showed positive. I did another one this morning and it said "no" and still no period.....so confused.

This is my first time ttc, and I'm excited.
I'm 8 dpo, with horrible flu like sx, fatigue, weakness and wet wet cm.
Plus, although ive never really eaten them..I was at the fm today and just HAD to buy fresh beets! They were calling my name, lol.

Any encouragement would be great! Since its my first time, I really don't know what to expect!

 

[PrayingLady]

Ladies,


I'm out of the runnings!!! Went to potty and wiped.. too my surprise red mixed in my cm. (sorry TMI) Sooooo I'm thinking af is ready to show her face tomorrow which is right on schedule!!!

Starting tonight I will be taking Geritol in the am and in the pm along with Folic acid up until O. Temping and using OPk's along with SMEP! Busy month ahead but I look forward to getting my BFP!!

I'm questioning whether I should do the soy from CD 3-7? what do you ladies think?

I have 2 beautiful step kids, and my hubby and i have been trying for over a year to conceive one of our own. There has been so many complications, but after undergoing surgery my Dr says we have a chance now! This is our first month trying since the surgery, please pray for us as we only have a small window to achieve pregnancy before i would need surgery again!

 

[kpawlitschek]

Hello. Im new to this site. Any advise on conceiveing would be greatly appreciayed, me and my hubby have been trying for over a year now. Any tricks or ideas?

This is my first time posting. My hubby and I have been trying for 12 months; however 8 months in they found a polyp in my uterus (due to abnormal bleeding) and did a hysteroscopy to remove the polyp. I was so hopefuly that after removing the polyp we would get pregnant right away but here we are 4 cycles later and I just got my AF AGAIN Why won't that witch just GO AWAY! I'm feeling extremely discouraged and sad. I've read that if you time BD correctly it shouldn't take longer than 4-6 months. I've been taking my BBT every morning and there is a temp spike around CD16 so I definately am ovulating (or my body is pretending too!). I have all the CM signs around ovulation/fertile period. My hubby has been checked out and his guys are working just fine. Every one I know has gotten pregenant on the 1st of 2nd cycle. It's just so discouraging that it's taking us so long - I just want to start a family already. I think God is really testing my faith and patience this year but I just want to yell, I GET IT ALREADY! Has anyone heard of or have LUFS? What are your symptons? I was doing some reading in TCOYF and the discussion on LUFS caught my attention. Sorry this is such a long post, but I guess I really needed to get some of this stuff out.

Ugh...yeah...several positives in a week period...but then negative...i'm hoping yours is truly a positive though! 5 days late is a good sign! good luck!

Hi, welcome. Well everyone's different but 8 dpo is definitely too early to test so try to avoid that. Wet wet cm is not something i've experienced after ovulation so not sure about that. Mine's usually just creamy. And not sure about food cravings this early on but I guess anything's possible. Good luck though and keep us posted! I hope this is your BFP cycle!

Wow, welcome and what a long road you've had. I hope you get your BFP soon! Hang in there! Can i ask you about your hysteroscopy? That's the next step for me and I'm nervous! Is it horrible??? My FSH levels are a little higher than they'd like so they want to try this and depending on things and if I don't get pregnant another cycle, they want to start me on clomid and if that doesn't work after a cycle or two, they are referring me to a specialist. very frustrating. i want to get pregnant now! I'm with you, I feel like God has been testing us for months...i'm over it already!
