@FaithFertility: boo
I'm definitely cheerleading for all you guys!!

@littlek: thanks I am more upset about the HORRIBLE timming then anything.....but this is the first natural period in over 9 months.....sooo that is something to cheer about I guess!

I'm only 2 dpo but having really bad/noticeable AF like cramps and having too pee a lot but in small amounts.. It's too late for O cramping (and different feeling), and too early for implantation. I'm thinking UTI. Anyone else have dull/severe cramping at this time or is UTI more likely?
bananas / 9899 posts
@MRSHONEYBEAR: Could be a UTI maybe? If it persists, get checked by a doctor!
bananas / 9899 posts
@FaithFertility: Yay for a natural period! I'm hoping if I am not KU that that will be my consolation prize too lol.

@mrshoneybear: yesterday (3dpo) i was also having that UTI-like sensation. not crampy, but definitely uncomfortable. we were at a BBQ and i kept secretly darting over to my phone to google UTI/pregnancy relatedness. oy! but it went away after a couple hours and now today i feel fine.
during last month's tww i felt tiny pinching/pulling/throbbing pains near my left ovary for like 10 days but that resulted in a bfn. i thought for sure something was going on down there! but now this month i don't feel hardly anything at all. did feel a bit around O time but now nada. hoping that isn't a bad sign!

@MRSHONEYBEAR: I had the same symptoms last month and it ended up being a UTI :-\ If it gets worse definitely go to the doctor!
grape / 99 posts
Thanks, ladies. I'm thinking UTI. It doesn't hurt when I pee, just these weird, constant, dull, pressure cramps in my very lower abdomen area. I'm going to give it till tomorrow and call my doc if it doesn't resolve. I'm leaving town Wednesday for work so definitely want to have it cleared-up by then
@Buttermilk: Ha! I did the same thing at the movies last night! Oh gosh, if anyone ever saw my google history I'd be so embarrassed.

@FaithFertility: I'm always upset about the horrible timing of everything.
I'm so nervous to see my name at the top of the POAS board. I POAS last Wednesday and was not too surprised to get a nasty negative. I intended to POAS yesterday morning before I left to Palm Springs with my sister for the night. I only have one HPT at home. Somehow I forgot. Lame. So girls... Should I POAS tonight when I get home, or wait until tomorrow morning?

@mrsmcd: if you only have one...and you don't want to buy more....make yourself wait! haha. i feel like i'm going to get shunned by the bees for that advice! i have two left, so i feel your pain. i'm trying to wait until tuesday now, but i will probably poas tomorrow. eek! fingers crossed for you!!!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
Thanks for the input girls!! I think that I will wait for tomorrow morning.
I'm stopping by a Barnes and Noble in a few with my sister really quickly. Is it so lame for an unpregnant girl to buy a book of baby names?!?!

@FaithFertility: Isn't that the truth?? In response to everyone's earlier discussion of drinking during the TWW, I feel like we have to in order to cope!!
grape / 99 posts
@MrsMcD: No way! Go for it. Names are fun to think about and could be a good distraction. Just bc you're not currently aware of a nameless baby inside of you doesn't mean you won't be shortly...and it'll need a name!

@pui AF finally arrived (yesterday was CD 40) so I am officially on the rollovers list!
I had given up on charting...yesterday I took fertility friend off my iphone and set a calendar reminder for the day I needed to call my obgyn (she said to call after CD 56 if AF didn't show).
I was almost as excited to get AF as I would've been for a BFP!!! This means I am back in the game!!!
Since I have no idea how long my next cycle will be, does anyone have suggestions for when to start OPKs?
eggplant / 11861 posts
@babybean404: I'm kinda in the same boat as you, but my RE says cd11 and continue...........
apricot / 386 posts
@FaithFertility: ok, thanks! I have a ton of the cheap ones so I may start with them and when I start seeing faint lines test again with the digitals. Does your RE recommend a time of day to test? It seems like the consensus is between 3 and 8 PM....
eggplant / 11861 posts
@babybean404: Mine says once a day between 12-6pm but I know many say diff things, yup can also do twice a day but compare the sticks at the same time so compare a.m. to a.m. and p.m. to p.m.

Prayers and baby dust for those of you who got BFN's or nasty AF. This ttc thing is rough on us all emotionally and physically! We need all the help we can get! Fingers crossed for those of us still waiting to test!
grapefruit / 4311 posts
@babybean404: woohoo for AF I was like that when I got in June. Are you just coming off BC or do you have some history of what to expect your cycles have done in past besides this one?
grapefruit / 4311 posts
I think I'm officially (finally) in the TWW after bugging HB with OPK interpretation for the past week. FX! Haha
pomegranate / 3580 posts
Woah! I've been off HB almost all weekend- congrats @nana87 @T.H.O.U !!!!!

I am so ready to see some BFP's! Can't wait to see how it goes, @MrsMcD! Good luck!
So my past two cycles have been 30 days. Last month I O'd CD19..I think at least. I didn't start charting til halfway through the month. Any who, yesterday was CD12, and I had EWCM (for the first time!!) and a big temp drop. Another temp drop today, though not quite as big. I wonder if I'm O'ing early?! We BD last night, and we will again tomorrow am. Unfortunately, we're driving from Michigan to Virginia today. So none today. I guess I'll just keep looking for a temp increase and see if I get crosshairs. Unfortunately I hadn't started using my OPK's yet this month. I was going to start today! Lets hope I caught it if I did O
apricot / 386 posts
@runnerd it was my first cycle off BC, I was convinced it was never going to end!!! Fx for your TWW!!!
@littlebit yay for your EWCM! I have seen charts on FF that show it happening several times a month so maybe you haven't O'd! When I traveled last month my temps got messed up, so don't stress if that happens to you!
nectarine / 2932 posts
@babybean404: I've actually already been traveling! We left early Thursday for Michigan, and my temps stayed normal Thur, Fri, and Sat. We're on the way home now! You're right, this may not be O. I guess we'll see if I get cross hairs! I'm also going to test OPK's through the 19th to see if I'll get a positive around the time I did last month.
pomegranate / 3921 posts
good morning, y'all! so i gave in and tested this morning...definitely another
AF should be here later today or sometime tomorrow. i'm already looking forward to september, and crossing fingers for the rest of the ladies on the calendar!
grapefruit / 4311 posts
@Littlebit: I wonder if you O'd a little earlier than cd 19 last month since that would have given you an 11 day LP? I know your LP could be that length, but also would be more common for it to be a little later? And FWIW, I usually only have about 2 days EWCM, but I had more like 4 days this month before O
pomegranate / 3921 posts
@runnerd: thanks lady! this was really our first cycle ttc, so our expectations weren't super high! i was just excited to join a poas board. since it's early on this journey, we're currently still able to keep that "it'll happen when it's right" mentality.
hope your bfp comes later this month!!!
nectarine / 2932 posts
@runnerd: hm..I hadn't thought of that! How many days is your LP? That was my first month trying so I wasn't really sure if 11 days was average?
@mfa_lady: I was the same way last month. Couldn't wait for it to be over so I could try again! I feel like I'm constantly 'waiting' these days. Waiting to O, tww, waiting to get my period, waiting for AF to begin...it's a vicious cycle!
pomegranate / 3921 posts
@littlebit: that's so true, isn't it? there is SO much waiting in this process. i've decided i just need to keep myself REALLY busy (with room for BDing, of course...) or else i'll go crazy before all is said and done.
hope this is your month!!
