Hellobee Boards

@mrschickpea: I think I'm out. Last night AF gave a hint that she's on her way, so I expect her full force today. We had such good timing this month, better than any other month so far, so it's frustrating.

I probably won't join the POAS thread for December since it's going to be a crazy busy month and I don't think I'll have time to post as much. But I do wish everyone good luck next month!

Still no AF for me, I was due on Friday (CD 25). I had bad cramping that day, very similar to AF cramps so I thought it was so close. I still have on and off cramps, but not as badly.

I tested with cheapie Clinical Guards but BFNs. I want to wait til Friday to test with a more expensive test. I'm afraid of no period AND no BFP! I ovulated around 14-15 CD. But I never got a glaring positive OPK, just a few almost-postive color changes and then back to negatives (using Wondofo) after CD 15. It lasted maybe a day.

I feel fine, sometimes queasy after eating but I hate to symptom spot. I've been tired, but nothing new there!

Anyone familiar with Clinical Guard? I was so tempted to buy Wondofo tests, but didn't want to waste more $$ especially if indeed I wasn't pregnant.

AF is here for me so I'm officially out. Next month is busy, so I'm hoping the TWW will be quick and easy. This time, I'm not testing until AF is overdue for sure. It's just too disappointing otherwise.

@thepaperbutterfly: congratulations!! Wishing you a H&H 9 months!

@mrschickpea: lol those memes are hilarious!! I'm trying super hard not to symptom spot and "pee on all the things" like I did last month.

@Shizaz: Bummer to hear that AF arrived. Good luck next month! Being busy definitely helps the TWW go by faster!

@LCTBQE: @Nutella: @marley: Glad to hear I'm not the only one who found the other forums odd. HB is the first one I've joined (although I admit to stalking others lol). And I agree, the signatures on some are so distracting!

@tiramisu: I'm going to call it the TWW syndrome - symptoms include insane "siggys" (lol) and spelling and grammatical errors.

@Bibliolove: bummer. Good luck next cycle!

@thepaperbutterfly: Congrats! That's wonderful!

@Bibliolove: ahh, I'm sorry! It sucks when AF is late! It's really interesting the things you learn about your body when you start charting. I think so at least haha.

@Shizaz: Hope next month is speedy for you,

I am peeing on all of the things and they are white white white as a ghost.

Thanks ladies! I'm a neurotic obsessive type of person, which is why I had to leave this site for a while. My method of dealing with negative, depressing, and anxiety inducing things is to focus on something else. Different things work for different people, and that is what worked best for me. I think more than that it is the lack of control over the whole thing that can be upsetting. There aren't any fertility or PCOS issues in my family, but fertility issues are fairly common. I'm 31 too so I guess that makes it harder than it would be if I were in my 20s. Still feeling pretty excited

@wheres_c: aren't you like, just 8dpo???

@mrschickpea: 8dpo, such an exciting time with all the anticipation. I'm sitting here at cd10 twiddling my thumbs. ( 33-35day cycles to boot!)

@pwnstar:@mrschickpea: @tiramisu: Thank you! Good luck to you ladies!

Providing I O around the normal time, AF will be due around Dec. 24. That could work out nicely for the best gift ever for DH! Or it could be really crappy to get AF just in time for all the get-togethers.

@Shizaz: I'm sorry your period came. Not to get pollyanna on you, but keep your chin up! Sounds like you're doing great with timing--it'll happen

@tiramisu: "odd", i.e. illiterate it's like everyone dropped out of the fifth grade and hasn't written anything but a text message from then on.

@wheres_c: hang on, lady! every person on earth was white as a sheet on a pee stick at one point. nice way of looking at humanity, yes?

@pwnstar: ugh, sorry it's not so clear for you right now. @marley: didn't this happen to you last month with your cbefm?

@mrschickpea: BUT I'm so worked up with hope for you!

@pwnstar: @pwnstar: yes! I got 4 highs and then a peak. This month I ovulated on the day I got my peak. And I tested the night before (high) and morning (peak). These things are weird. Or maybe it's just my body.

So many POAS dates coming up! Everyone!

@WinterBee: My testing day is less than a week away, but I'm not feeling lucky this month for some reason either.

I felt better last cycle, lots of symptoms, but this month nothing so far! I got knocked up with our dd on our second cycle 4 years ago, so maybe I'm just psyching myself out because I know we're not likely to get so lucky twice.

Good luck to the four bees whose testing dates have passed, and to the ladies set to test before me next week!
