Okay ladies, who's counting down the days? I O'd on Sat the 19th, so I am officially half way through the wait. I've had a little cramping lately and a little tenderness, but no big symptoms yet. I'm testing Saturday morning (if I can wait that long), which will be day 14. Where are you in your wait and when are you testing?
-
I'm about to ovulate so I'll be joining the TWW soon. Good luck!
-
9DPO here and impatiently waiting to test either tomorrow or Tues. AF is due on Tues so I know I should wait but I don't think I can. I've been feeling crampy almost every day since I O'd which is unusual for me but I think I'm getting a cold so that could have something to do with it. No other glaring signs but I'm trying not to read too much into it so I won't be as disappointed.
-
I'm 10 dpo today and will hopefully wait until 13-14 dpo (this Wed or Thurs) to test. I'm actually feeling really good about this month - I have had some serious stomach issues. I feel sick to my stomach if I eat. I feel sick if I don't eat. I feel sick when I drink water, milk, caffeine. I've felt sick in the morning and night (and sometimes in between). I've been having really bad heartburn too. So, I'm hoping these are all good signs and it's not that I have the flu or something, haha.
-
Good luck ladies!! I still have another week til I O'--fingers crossed for all of you!
-
5DPO here. Not sure how great our chances are this month based on when we BD'ed. Also STILL getting high readings on my CBFM (13 or 14th day in a row, never got a Peak). Figure I'm going to go through the TWW just planning on the fact that I'm not pregnant....
-
Either 6 DPO or 1DPO, depending on what my temperature does tomorrow AM. Had a wonky beginning to my cycle this time around, and my OPKs and FF aren't agreeing.
I'm having zero symptoms, which is fine if I'm 1DPO, but not-so-fine if I'm 6DPO. However, every little cramp and twinge is getting tracked, just in case it winds up being implantation or something like that.
Hoping that this is the month, however...DH's birthday is coming up, and I'd love to give him a BFP for his birthday! -
I'm about 12 DPO, and tend to ovulate a little later than halfway through my (normally) 28-day cycles. We're totally in BD mode right now, and plan on testing around December 12 / 13. Fingers crossed for an awesome early Christmas surprise!
-
@Bru: If you are 12 DPO shouldn't you be testing in two or three days? Not sure I understand...
-
I'm a few days away from O, but want to say good luck everyone!!!
-
Well I O'ed the night before Thanksgiving so I'm about 5DPO....but we only had one good shot at it
because of travelling and staying at my parents for the holiday......ugh.Baby Dust to you all!
-
Just wanted to wish you all luck and lots of baby dust!
-
Andddd count me OUT of the TWW. Not because AF showed, but because I kept taking my OPKs (didn't believe Fertility Friend), and I got a positive OPK today.
So I'm back on the 'waiting to ovulate' train...guess I'll be joining the TWW tomorrow or Wednesday.
...and just when I thought I was already 7DPo! -
Me, me, me! Should know on the 4th. Every month prior to this I've been crazy obsessive and testing like crazy. This month I'm trying to be more chill about it and not allow myself to test until Sunday. I only have one test left and I don't want to waste it and I don't want to buy more since I live in a small town and almost always see someone I know when I'm at the store and don't want to have to explain why I'm holding a pregnancy test. I'm using that as my motivation to not test until Sunday. We'll see how long it lasts...
-
Count me in. The wait is killing me! I ovulated on the 20th. Funny story: I worked the night of the 19th, and one of my colleagues brought in his 17 day old baby. Of course, I stood there and cooed at her for 10 minutes, and finally I said "Ok I have to walk away now". Another colleague, who has a very sarcastic / almost inappropriate sense of humor, said "Yeah you better be careful you might start ovulating!" I laughed it off but in my head I was like, OMG I hope so! Of course I was ecstatic when I did ovulate the next morning. I think my colleague will find it hilarious if I do manage to get pregnant this cycle!
-
Count me in! Almost. O'ing soon!
-
I'm only telling y'all this, but I tested today (10 DPO) and got a BFN. I am really hoping that it was just that I tested to early and so I'll try again Thursday.
-
I got a smiley face on my OPK kit last night, and measuring by my "new cycle" off BC, yesterday would be Day 12 so I'm hoping it's accurate! Fingers crossed. We'll be trying the next few days too!!! So this would place me in the TWW right?
-
I'm pretty much in the TWW now as I was projected to ovulate yesterday. My OPK surge was on the weekend though. According to my doctor, we still have some time left to keep enjoying it, so I've got until next Tuesday before we're out of her range of getting it on.
-
@Maisymay- Fingers crossed for you!!! ; )
-
Yay! Good luck to all of you currently in your TWW! Hope to see some BFPs soon!
-
Felt a bit of nausea last night and this morning, which of course made me hopeful; however, don't want to get too hopeful yet. I'll slip away today at some point and pick up another test. Fertilityfriend says that I should wait until Friday to test, but I have tomorrow off, and I'd rather not have to go to work right after if it's good news.
-
I should be in the TWW tomorrow! AF is supposed to arrive on the 13th...so we will see! We did a couple of new things this month so hopefully they worked
-
@AlyB25: Mine's supposed to arrive on the 14th, so we're close in timing. We're going to keep BDing until next Tuesday. This cycle, I'm more or less just going to expect AF because every time I get hopeful for a BFP, I'm totally wrong. I'm preferring to take the laidback approach to it. I'm busy in the two weeks anyway, so hopefully that will be a distraction enough for me not to obsess.
-
@carrieknitscake: yay cycle twins! Oh wow, you guys have more energy than we do! We have been BDing everyday since Thursday and we are a little worn out. We are going to try and BD once more tonight and MAYBE tomorrow, but then I am done! lol...Are you just going longer to make sure you covered your bases? Do you know if you already ovulated? I hear you on the getting your hopes up every cycle...this is cycle 4 for us so I'm hoping this is the lucky one. I am definitely not going to symptom spot during the TWW either.
-
@AlyB25: We BD'ed twice on the weekend at my parents' house two days in a row. Yep, sneaky sex, but the OPKs were positive, so we went for it, in the morning. Monday, my DH was so happy with his off day. Last night, he had a headache, but we still BD'ed with natural lubricant! We won't BD again until Thursday or Friday, but still every other day. We're going for longer on my doctor's orders. I was surprised that she gave us such a long window, so why not. It'll make the TWW less consuming. We're also on cycle 4 too. I'm hoping that it's lucky for us as well.
-
@carrieknitscake: haha I would have done the same thing if we were staying somewhere...When the OPK is positive ya gotta do what ya gotta do! More BDing will definitely make the TWW go by quicker, so that in itself is a good reason...here to hoping we both get BFP's on cycle 4
-
@AlyB25: I knew that I was going to be fertile during Thanksgiving. DH likes sneaky sex too. It just helped that I was extremely turned on thanks to non BC libido. I was so surprised by the lack of external lubricants needed, but I knew it was during my fertile time so we went for it. I actually didn't use Mucinex this cycle either. I feel like I got more CM without it than with.
If we don't get a BFP, it might be harder to take advantage of the fertile time since we're supposed to be visiting the inlaws for Christmas while I'm uber fertile. Their house has paper thin walls and no privacy. I have no privacy in that house regardless of walls too. My parents' house at least had an upstairs bedroom with a door that shuts tight.
-
I've had ovulation pains for the past couple of days and OPK indicated ovulation surge. Lots of BD for the next couple of days. Hoping to be KU this cycle since I have 3 more cycles before RE requires intervention.
-
I'm out. Good luck ladies.
-
I'm in! FF gave me dotted crosshairs (I think because I'm still having EWCM, and I"m supposed to be on 3dpo--has this happened to anyone else?). I'm planning on testing at 13dpo, right before DH's holiday party, so I know if I can enjoy the open bar or not
-
@hilsy85: This is the first month where I'm still "wet" post ovulation like every day since. I'm about 4-5 DPO right now. It never happens to me. This is one weird symptom cycle for me.
-
@carrieknitscake: Oh really?? Ok that makes me feel better!! And I guess it's not a bad symptom to have
I plugged in some dummy temps to FF and if my temps go up tomorrow, then it says I actually ovulated TODAY. So we're going to BD today just to be on the safe side, and then I guess we'll see where my temps go! So strange though.
-
I'm in! Finally got my crosshairs after some really complicated temperatures and OPK results. Now 5DPO, and having the same symptoms as always. Fingers crossed for a dip in the next few days...maybe implantation?
-
what kind of symptoms is everyone having? 5 dpo and zero symtoms here...except for very strange dreams the last few days, but def not going to read into that
-
I'm in the TWW - no idea when AF should be due, missed a positive OPK this month... I hope this is it!
tired, more cm than normal, back has been hurting - really weird pain/achiness around my natural waist below my rib cage... this is a first, anyone else?
-
@hellobeeboston: yes, my lower back has been really achey, and I'm really crampy too. I also experienced spotting today and not sure if it's the beginnings of AF or something else. This is torture.
-
whats really weird about this cycle is normally after O I get really crampy and get some back pain on and off from O until AF...this month I don't have any cramps or back pain...maybe this is just my body finally adjusting to being off BC? who knows..
-
@MrsLilybugg: keep us posted! hopefully it's not AF.
totally agree with the torture part - ugh!
-
@MrsLilybugg: I was holding back on posting this, but here goes. I went to the bathroom today and got a spot of blood. It was a bright red/pink. Really nothing since. My breasts have been painful since ovulation like more painful that past cycles. I'm about 6 DPO right now. I'm going to test on Friday-Saturday despite vowing not to test until AF is due next Wednesday. I've never had any sort of bleeding this early in my cycle.
because of travelling and staying at my parents for the holiday......ugh.
