@MrsMcD: @pui: My September POAS date will probably be around both of yours too! My annual exam is scheduled for September 4 which will probably be too soon for a urine test but ya never know...

@pui: Oh honey, I'm so sorry! That AF sure is a B. *growl-y frown at AF!!*
I am sending good thoughts toward your shiny new cycle, though!
@lindsayinny: I your un-scientific view on clomid. Awesome

I'd like to play a rousing game of "TTC Confession" this morning... I'll start.
Part 1) I keep a bookmark folder on my browser filled with links to charts that look like mine. The folder is titled "Stop Panicking".
Part 2) The number of links in the folder is now long enough that it requires a scroll bar.
Your turn...

@pui: Hah! Well I know my temp was still up, but I FEEL like AF is on her way today or tomorrow. I'm getting the typical AF cramps. And sorry to hear AF came for you, but I guess it's a good thing too! In your case. A fresh start!

@sweetkeight: haha! hmm I took a few pregnancy tests after getting my period last month bc it seemed unusually light and i was convinced it must have just been break through bleeding

@pui: So sorry about AF!
@babybeemcd: Congrats!!!
Thanks for the welcome, everyone. This thread moves so fast I think I might have a hard time keeping up. I may have ovulated yesterday so I guess I'll consider myself in the TWW now.

Wow I missed a lot in a day!!!
@faithfertility - Thank you!!! :smile: Wishing you lots of luck for CD12 checkin!
@skipra - Welcome and excited for you! I think my cycle didn't officially return regularly until I weaned and before then it was on / off. Are you charting? Do you know if you O'd?
@abcmrs - Thanks so much! I missed two days and can't believe I missed so many posts - yikes.
@littlek - Rooting for you!
@pui - So excited for you to POAS!
@littlebit - I think someone needs to repost @pui BD Storm graphic!
@torchwood - LOL at super sperm! My hubby thinks the same because our first was a one shot deal and when we started talking about #2, he walked around saying "bam done!". It's pretty hilarious and I didn't want to shoot him down haha
@pui - Bummer I'm so sorry But at the same time, I guess it's good that AF came so you get to start again?
@mrsmcd - LOL that definitely must have been an interesting conversation! I try to explain these methods of tracking to DH and he's just like "why can't we just keep at it like back in the day?!". Yea...
@tarabonno - OMG I just spit my coffee out reading that! LOL... true egg whites will never be the same.
@mrs. 64 - Yay for CD1!!!
@babybeemcd - Woot woot! And we're due date / POAS twins!

@pui: Oh man, such a bummer. But HALLELUJAH to the end of a 140 day cycle. I literally joined HB at the beginning of your cycle and I can't believe its taken this long to come. But I love @LindsayinNY 's analogy and hopefully this is the kickstart to new beginnings for you!

@sweetkeight: I love your TTC confessions! Mine is I've been spending way too much time today on this site, that someone posted in the July POAS thread. I was already out for the month when I discovered the site, but it is good fuel for the crazy during the TWW this month!

@LovelyPlum: Oh my I totally keep my bfp's! I kept my bfp's last time around until after we had DD and we moved - I completely forgot about them! DH was super grossed out.

I just want to say - I LOVE POAS. I'm on day 2 of positive OPK's...now if only my HPT tests looked like these Hoping I O tomorrow!
pomegranate / 3350 posts
@LovelyPlum: I kept mine too and I kept testing for weeks so I had a lot. DH eventually threw them away on me.
@littleveesmommy: Congrats on your bfp! LO is 11 months and has been nursing a lot less now so we are definitely starting the weaning process. I'm not temping so I don't know for sure that I o'd but I had spotting for a few days at the end of July that I think was a light AF and then I had a positive opk and ewcm...so I'm thinking there is at least a chance that I o'd. How long did it take you to get the bfp this time?

@buttermilk: that one is baaaad. I don't want to admit how much I read that website back in the winter

@runnerd: I have SO tested after AF arrived just in case. More than once!
@babybeemcd: Congrats! Happy dance for you!
@skipra: Fingers crossed and baby dust!
@Sprite: You are so in trouble for posting that! Now I'm going to be wasting way too much time looking too!
@buttermilk: And you! I'm trying NOT to go nuts on symptoms!
@pui: Very sorry, but I'm glad that there's a silver lining! Fingers crossed for next month! I may stalk the september poas thread even if I get lucky and don't rollover. ^_^
So like I said, I've been poas every morning. Today it looked negative but of course I stare and stare looking for anything and I swear there was something. It wasn't right away so I'm pretty sure it's a shadow line or evap line, but I'm pretending maybe it's a good sign. ^_^ If I can do so without DH noticing (trying not to let him realize how many hpt's I'm wasting here), I may see if one of my older ones is still in the trash and compare.
I also had a sort of stabby little pain last night real low. Fingers crossed it was implantation!
pomelo / 5607 posts
Oh, and two other things. I read the discussion on "eggwhites" this morning, and of course as I was out driving I saw a Sonic sign that said "try our eggwhites."
And tmi (if such a thing exists here), but last night I notices my cm just smells weird. Not bad, or like any infection I've ever had, just weird. I'm making a note of it because if it turns out I get lucky this month, it might be significant.

hello bees! today has been a hard one. i know we haven't been trying that long so i don't want to complain but this freaking tww is unbearable! and i know you bees know all about it so i just need to vent please!
DH and i are in transition from brooklyn to philly and staying with my in-laws in the suburbs until our apt is ready in sept. which means i also don't have a new job yet so i'm basically on adult summer vacation aka i have all the time in the world to obsess over tww!
today particularly hard bc i'm the only one in the house today and have noone else to distract me lol. so i just feel like i'm waiting. waiting for DH to come home, waiting to move to our new city, waiting to get a new job, waiting to be in our new apt, waiting to find out what the hell is going on inside of my body! don't you guys feel so out of the loop sometimes? i do! like "hello uterus i know something is going on in there one way or another so could you please just let me in on it a little bit!?"
this is pretty much how every day is but i break it up by finding things to do, places to go, but today. has. been. so. loooooong.
sorry, just feel like i'm going a little nutso.
pomelo / 5607 posts
@buttermilk: I am SO with you. We move in 2 weeks, but we were waiting for 3 months to get a final move date. It was supposed to be sooner, so I quit work in May. We're moving in with my mom, but hoping to buy a house. I'm sitting around looking for anything to distract me while I'm home alone and impatient to move and everything! So frustrating! Mostly I'm playing too many video games. Really hoping you can find some good distractions and the time goes quickly, and that you get some great news from your uterus very soon! ^_^
@NorCalWayfarer: Thanks!

@buttermilk: Hi friend. I am so sorry you are obsessing over this TWW. At least your POAS day is just a few days away. Why don't you go outside, walk to your nearest drug store, buy some HPTs and starting peeing?!?! That's what I would do. But that's just me.

@babybeemcd: I'm mrsmcd, and you are babymcd. I feel like you are my lucky little sister who got pregnant before me and you weren't even really trying!
persimmon / 1472 posts
@skipra: I started nursing/pumping less in January (had AF randomly in October and again in December) and tested positive in February which ended in m/c. My cycle didn't regulate again until May but I did noticed EWCM and some crampy pain around when O should have been during April and May but I never got AF those months. We've been somewhat trying since May (I have been timing it) so it took 3 cycles. Although when I got my BFP in January I didn't even have a cycle yet so I'm not sure how it works during weaning - it's a little confusing to me still. I'm wishing you the best! I track my cycle using CM only usually and cramps (I am bad with remembering to temp).

@MrsMcD: Ha! We were trying, we just got really lucky. I had a chemical last month, which was really hard to deal with. I'm not sure what allowed us to get immediately KU again, but it's pretty amazing. GL to you!

@babybeemcd: Thanks friend. I hope third time is a charm for me as well.
nectarine / 2086 posts
@torchwood: oh wow we are in very similar situations! sometimes it's just great to talk to ppl who can sympathize!
@mrsmcd: good advice! i did just take a walk around the block which was nice. and i'm thinking about testing a day early tomorrow bc i have a social event tomorrow night and i'd like to know if i'm pg before indulging!
isn't it funny how our DHs aren't obsessing about our cycles like we are? like hello isn't this just as life changing for you and why aren't you freaking out with the anticipation like i am? lol i mean i get it but, sometimes i think it's funny to imagine how it would be if they were also as obsessed as we are.
