Hellobee Boards

@ksnow: ugh, I hate the TWW! How have you been doing!? I think I ended up O'ing last Sunday 6/28 so I'm 6 DPO today. I got a positive OPK Saturday through Sunday morning so a little earlier than FF thought!

@TrailRunner: My LP is short too - usually 9 days. It's pretty frustrating! I think I'll try taking the b complex and see if that helps.

I'm still bf-ing my 2 yr old & It has been so so painful the last two days!!! But I'm certain I'm ovulating today because of my calculations and CM. I just hope I'm not gonna have some wacky cycle again! My nips have never hurt like this while nursing. What the heck!!???

Well, still no AF. Tested yesterday with FMU, which would truly have been the day of my missed period, and BFN. Had some brown spotting last night so assumed AF was starting. But still nothing this morning. I feel pretty sure it's coming. I should've ovulated by day 19. That would put me at 12 dpo today. Who knows, I haven't had a cycle this long since my chemical pregnancy in December. Trying not to be hopeful since it's pretty clear to me I'm just having a weird cycle. Best of luck to everyone else.

Ok. I think I finally believe it now. Bottom test from 2 days ago. Top two are from this morning.

@Dr. Pepper: congrats!!

@Dr. Pepper Yay, congrats!
@JH524 I had a positive with my daughter at 9dpo so now I can't help but test then! But looking back on my chart from then, it may have actually been closer to 11dpo. I'm going to try to wait a few more days now, so I don't go crazy... my period is due Thursday so I'm aiming to hold out till Wednesday. If I manage to go pee in the morning without testing it makes me not want to bother.

@Dr. Pepper: Congrats!!!

Thanks everyone! We are super excited (and freaked out)! I have a call in to my Dr. (who is actually on medical leave right now because he just had open heart surgery!) to find out if they are going to do any monitoring (hCGs and progesterone) like they did last time or not. But since my Dr. is out, they have to aske the "on call" doctor who doesn't know my story. Oh well, we'll see.

@jh524: I monitor for ovulation by checking CM and I use OPKs. For my first baby I only did once in the AM, but this time I did AM and early afternoon. I never get true positives either but I can follow the darkness up and down and know when it peaked. I wake up too many times at night to temp.

@winterbee. I feel your pain with the weird long cycle. I feel like there is NO WAY I'm pregnant but here I am, with the longest cycle I've had since my HSG and chemical pregnancy in December. My cycles since have been between 28-30 days. And I'm on day 32. I tested on Sat. FMU with a cheap grocery story (similar to ept) and negative.

I'm trying to decide when or if to test again or just to hang in for a long wait.

@Dr. Pepper: congratulations!!!

OK so I tested on Friday. Accidently bought a cheapie blue dye test (the box was pink, didn't realize it was blue dye!) that was inconclusive (smear in the positive side...) so I bought a FRER and that was negative. AF hasn't shown. I'll test again on the 17th or 18th if she doesn't show up by then (last cycle was 6 weeks long).

Another stark white BFN at 11dpo this time (two days from my period's expected arrival date). I finished my round of antibiotics yesterday and most of the nausea I had is gone, so I'm guessing it was from the meds! I know it's early, and am trying not to torture myself (she says as she can't stop peeing on sticks, haha) but I suspect this is not our month.

If it isn't, so be it -- more time to save money, more time to do home renos, etc. Relaxing and taking things as they come is obviously not my strong point, but I'm trying!

The 2WW has been easier this time since we're on vacation. But I'm also avoiding non-safe pregnancy things so that's a little odd to manage. Ready for the 12th to get here!

@MrsDragon: peeing on those expensive lil Sticks is addictive! I'm guilty for being a early tester even though with my last pregnancy, I got negatives all the way up until the day of my missed period at 14dpo and it was light enough that my husband didn't believe it.

Good luck and give it another day or more! Go get some more Sticks lol

@ksnow I'm totally testing tomorrow... I'm committed at this point, hah. That early positive with my daughter is making it so hard for me to deal with negatives! My LP is 12 days so I feel like it's not THAT early and I should know by now, but oh well.

I wanted to temp this morning to see if things were dropping so I could kind of prepare myself... wasn't able to do it yesterday because I didn't get a solid window of sleep, and then this morning my husband managed to misplace my thermometer. Tomorrow I'll hopefully be able to temp, too.

@MrsJD I'm sorry, that sounds rough. Hugs to you!

@MrsDragon: Too funny!!! So are wondfos pregnancy tests and ovulation predictors ?
I see a lot of gals on here talking about them.

@jh524: Thanks for the welcome! I use OPKs to know when ovulation is approaching, but I also chart my cycle (temps) and that is how I verify that ovulation has successfully taken place.

@WinterBee: Sorry about AF, and your long cycle! Do you normally have long cycles? Mine average 32-33 days, and I always feel like I get cheated out of attempts to conceive!

@MrsDragon: I LOVE wondfos. I just got my amazon order of 20 wondrous and a 3-pack of expensive FRERs... I can't wait until I can start peeing on some sticks!

Has anybody experienced loss of appetite during the tww? I am only 5dpo today, so it's way too early to be a pregnancy symptom (although that was one of my symptoms last time around). Normally I wake up starving, but today I couldn't eat anything until lunch time.

@mrsrain: Yes, my cycle is usually 31 days, I always thought it was great... until TTC haha.
