Hi guys,

Checking in on this (very long!) thread. Congrats to all the new Mamas!!! This is my first Hellobee month, and it's sure been exciting following everyones progress

I'm having the craziest TWW - I am symptom spotting galore (early morning nose-bleeds, Montgomery bumps, sore wrist, nausea, dizziness, AF cramps 4 days before due, gas, sore boobs) - you name it, I've felt it... and the more obscure the more likely!

However AF due tomorrow and consistent BFN's each morning (even though I swore I would wait until AF was late to test), so I am clearly reading WAY too much into things, and driving myself batty in the process. I expect I shall be joining the September POAS thread very shortly.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing how the month ends, and how well the group outperform the average!

PS - there was a question posed on the thread a few pages back about the craziest things you do whilst trying to conceive, and I've discovered mine! I use my black underwear in the weeks leading up to ovulation (to spot EWCM more easily, obvs!), and my white underwear during the TWW (to spot implantation bleeding more easily - though that was wishful thinking on my part!).... maybe I should give myself in to the nut house quietly!!!

It's nice to have people to share this with who may understand where I am coming from (please don't judge me!!!!!!)

@MrsCDH: haahaha that's hilarious about your underwear! and brilliant at the same time! welcome and good luck! At least you'll get some answers soon since AF is around the corner.

@pui: I'm officially a rollover. AF showed up in the middle of the night right on schedule!

@Tundra Daisy: I thought I had the start of one but then it just dipped down again! Oh well!

@MrsCDH: Welcome!

@buttermilk: Darn!

@buttermilk: I'm sorry! That stinks!!

@MrsCDH: Welcome!! Not sure if that's crazy or crazy smart.

@Littlebit: I'm probably out... 12 DPO today and BFN. And looks like a little brown spotting has made an appearance... I'll wait til AF shows to officially roll over though

@runnerd: Boo! What day does AF normally show?

@buttermilk: LOL, I have conversations with my woman parts also. Mine are more 'Get your sh!t together, girl!' - maybe I should try speaking to her nicely?

@Littlebit: expecting the 25th

@buttermilk: Bummer! I love the idea of "practice months" You're gonna be a pro for September. Fingers crossed it's your month!

I missed SO much while I was out of town for a week.

Warmest congrats to all of the BFP's that are heating up the August POAS board: @babybeemcd,
@Torchwood, @jhd, @PEAPIE, @sweetkeight, @tbuzz, @ellewoods84, @mrsog, @Mae

I really did miss catching up with everyone while I was gone! I thought about each of you and hand my fingers and toes crossed for everyone. I have an update of my own...

Ahhhhhh! I ended up POAS while I was on my trip (first test on top at 10 dpo) and got my first BFP! I was in complete shock, and in a hotel room thousands of miles away from DH. AND I had to get it together at 6am to go to the last day of my big project.

I decided to test because I was feeling all kinds of exhausted (granted, I was working 14+ hour days). I also had a few bouts of nausea 8 & 9 dpo. On about 7 dpo I had the sharpest pain in my lower abdomen that made me say "OWWW!" out loud. Also, my chest was super sore. So, I had my suspicions. The last night of the project we typically have a bit of a party so I wanted to test to clear my conscience for having a few celebratory drinks. Needless to say, I stuck with soda water and lime!

That day I texted a photo of the test to one of my good friends bc I wasn't sure what to do or how to feel. She was very sweet and assured me a line was a line. And no, I didn't have the flu,

I had to wait a whole day till I got back home to tell DH. I was super scared because of his TTC anxiety. I made him stop at one of our favorite nature places on the way to dinner and I told him that I thought of a new song he should write (he's a musician), the song is called "Baby, we're having a baby". He looked at me puzzled and I said, "No, really". He was so excited, I think I've only seen him so happy on the day he proposed. There has not been a trace of anxiety since I told him, thank goodness. If anything, I'm the wreck. An excited wreck...but worried nonetheless. I tested again as soon as my plane landed last night (second from top, 11 dpo) and again this morning (bottom test, 12 dpo).

Ahhhhh!

@MRSHONEYBEAR: YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! Congrats mama! Happy for you!
