@carrieknitscake: I am 6dpo too! And what I saw matched exactly, kinda bright pink with some cm. I don't feel soreness in the breasts, twinges now and then which I attribute to wishful thinking, but very crampy. Oh carrie, fingers crossed for you!

@carrieknitscake: yea, it's so frustrating how any symptom can really be either/or. agh! I tell myself I'll stop reading the baby sites to distract myself, cause then I start to obsess about it again, but of course I always come back to them. Ha! A good distraction for me right now is focusing on trying to lose 10 lbs.

I'm out. Moving on to December. Good luck to everyone who is still in the wait!

@redsmarties: I have been off BC since June, and this is the first cycle where I do not have crampy feelings or back pain, so it is definitely unusual for me. I am 6 dpo now, zero symptoms except very strange and very vivid dreams too (but I'm trying not to read too much into this!). I swear, for the last 4 days my dreams have been insane lol. We are only on cycle 4, but the last 3 months I could have sworn I was KU with all of the symptoms I was having, and this month I have none, so I am also a *little* hopeful, but I also don't want to get my hopes up either like I do every month. How many DPO are you?

@redsmarties: That's good that your cycles are more regular now Mine have consistently been 25-26 days since getting off BC, I was lucky in that sense...good luck to you too!!

@carrieknitscake & MrsLilybugg: wow, both of your symptoms look really hopeful! And the spotting is right around when implantation would occur too. Especially if you never have spotting in between cycles, that is a *very* good sign,...Fingers crossed!!

I'm about 6dpo but my cycle is all weird. I got a temp spike but now it keeps dropping. FF thought ovulated on the 1st but then my temp dropped yesterday and it changed it to the 3rd. This morning temp dropped again and it switched ovulation back to the 1st. I'm still above my coverline but I've been feeling crampy, headache for two days, and just in general feel like I'm going to get my period. It's not due til next week so I hope it's not coming early but that would explain why I'm cranky and irritable!

@AlyB25: My hope is also starting to dwindle away. Earlier this week I had symptoms (like the spotting, and dizziness, and sensitivity to smells), but other than the spotting I think it was in my head. I'm about 10 dpo and I took a Dollar Tree test last night and this morning, and they were both BFN's. My AF isn't due until the 15th (IF my cycles are back to normal after BC!!!) so I know it's too early to tell.

@MrsLilybugg: don't give up yet, 10 dpo is still very early..the spotting you had is such a good sign...i would wait a few more days and test again, maybe when you are 12dpo or just wait until AF is supposed to arrive. It's hard when you just get off BC because you don't know what is normal or not yet for your cycles, so I guess just wait and see...good luck!!

@AlyB25: hey - i suppose? i'm not sure when i ovulated this month so I'm not really sure. my cycles are usually between 30 and 35 days. Today is day 33. i guess we'll have to see how it goes throughout the day, it was such a bummer to see!

i also feel NO symptoms, light cramping for the past week - that's normal, it's very light. the no boob pain is weird!

i think i may start temping next month

@AlyB25: i know! it's tough - i'll update end of day and we'll see!

the only thing i'm holding on to is i've never really had this "watery" situation, my P usually starts with brown clots... tmi, sorry!

I'm in. 6 DPO. My normal PMS symptoms but having backaches for the past 3 nights which have kept me up. Sinus drainage so have a sore throat. Sore and full breasts. AF isn't suppose to show until next Sat so I hope my symptoms continue:)

I'm probably 4-5 DPO. I'm testing on the 20th, if I don't get my period before then. I want to hold off as long as possible so I don't test too many times. I am now just waiting. I've had lots of creamy CM this week, and my lower back hurts like a mother. I also am feeling really stuffy.

Of course, I have been hitting the gym a lot recently (to explain the back), and we did just take 2 cross-country flights (to explain the cold). We will see!

@mole: Still! That sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you, and good for you if you can hold out til the 20th.

All my symptoms stopped on Sat. Completely stopped. Usually Pms is raging and then disappear when AF appears. My body loves too keep a sister guessing. LOL

@Mrs Green Grass: I am sooo happy and hopeful for you! I hope this cycle is it for you Thursday's a big day for us it seems. My AF is due on Thursday, and I wish this week would speed by so I'd just know already! I am feeling dizzy and nauseaus, buuuuut I'm also in finals week in a course so that may explain it. And we know stress pushes back a period, and that in itself is stressing me out, so I may be in for a longer than usual wait. sigh. Good luck!

i think im out this month my temp dropped this morning, so AF will probably show tomorrow which was expected...so bummed because we literally pulled out all the stops this month and i thought for sure it would all work.....onto month 5....good luck to the rest of you in your TWW!!!

@Mrs Green Grass: My fingers are crossed for you! Baby dust is headed your way!

I'm out this month. It was a long shot but I'm still bummed.
Here's to next month. I'll be ovulating at my grandparent's house on Christmas - BDing there is going to be tricky!

I'm out. I didn't actively chart this month so I guess it was more NTNP than trying. It is still disappointing though. I'm bringing the thermometer back out tomorrow. Time for cycle 8!

I've officially missed my period today and the digital was clear as day. I made an appointment today for the first visit. I'm so nervous in general about everything so far.

One coworker heard me say something vague to another. She asked point blank and I denied, denied, denied. I corralled another trusting coworker who sits in her grouping to ease the story the other way until all is confirmed and well. Eek, got to keep my mouth shut!

@oliviaoblivia: Thanks! I'm still in disbelief with the whole thing. I didn't think that we would see two lines this cycle, but we did. Every time I saw one, I just didn't believe it. It's weird when they get darker and darker. Now I just have to keep my mouth shut and hope that we get through to February, then huge announcement time! I'm hoping and praying for a smooth couple of months to know that we're in the clear.

My current line with the coworkers is that it's my best friend I was talking about. I'm so glad that I have a coworker I trust who won't say anything and can lament about crappy cakes received at the office today.
