I'm on my phone and it's too hard to tag everyone between thread pages but THANK YOU guys!! Fingers crossed the lines keep getting darker and this baby is sticky!
@mrskansas: no symptoms so far at all, unlike last month when I was symptom spotting all over the place!
@IRunForFun:
ahhh!!!

@Synchronicity: You ovulated 2 weeks ago on the 20th?? If you ovulated 9 days ago your due date would be 10/18 I think!
I only know this because I was supposed to O on 1/20 but it ended up being later.

@mrskansas: the 25th! I just input it as date of conception and that's the date it gave me. Tried again on another one and it was the 18th. That's better! Haha

@Synchronicity: Ha - I knew that sounded funny! 10/18/17 is a great date!

Anyone pay attention to their CM during the luteal phase?
I've been having a lot of watery CM and I've read that it can mean your progesterone is low.

@Synchronicity: I'm always checking in on the POAS boards. Congratulations!!!

@mrskansas: I don't pay a lot of attention to it mostly because there isn't much of anything to pay attention to. Do you think your doctor would be willing to check progesterone and put you on supplements if needed?

@mrskansas: Every since my RE basically said CP and CM can be misleading I've stopped checking them. I don't know if he's right but it's one less thing to think about. I did read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" - there might be something in there about watery CM during LP.

@snarkybiochemist: @bizwitch: Thanks ladies. I've done a lot of research and I don't have any other symptoms of low progesterone so I guess I shouldn't worry about it.
The only reason I check is because in my pregnant cycles I've had a lot of thick white CM around 7/8 DPO and this time I just have a lot of watery so I don't feel very hopeful.

@mrskansas: It must be hard having other experiences to compare this too. Easier said then done, but try not to focus too much on different symptoms
nectarine / 2813 posts
@snarkybiochemist: Yeah I just need to stop paying so much attention to my body. Which is nearly impossible at this point but I can always try, right?!

@mrskansas: I'm with ya, sister! Trying not to pay attention to my body too much but spotting for 5 days is juuuuust driving me a little bit off the cliff.
nectarine / 2180 posts
@mrskansas: Oh I know that. On one hand I wish I didn't know so much and didn't pay so much attention to every little thing because it drives me crazy, but on the other hand its what gave me the information and confidence to see my doctor way before the 1 year mark

As I'm on Day 5 of spotting (light brown then bright pink then dark brown), would it be worth it to test? When? Do I just consider it AF?
Wore a tampon once this week and it had barely anything on it, so never used another one or even a pad this week. I only see the discharge when wiping.
And I've just been so freaking exhausted this week. No change in work schedule or sleep, but I'm half alive typing this at work...while I have a pile of stuff waiting for me to take care of. I can't seem to function!

@madisonbee: If you have Wondfos I would test just in case. How many DPO are you?
I wouldn't call it AF until you see red that requires a pad/tampon.
nectarine / 2180 posts
@madisonbee: My doctor considers a period bright red blood not pink or brown. Is your period officially late? Do you have a cheap test?
pear / 1677 posts
@mrskansas: @snarkybiochemist: I don't have any more HCG wondfos, just OPK. And I'm only 7dpo, so I feel like I'm in limbo.
nectarine / 2813 posts
@madisonbee: I would just wait. Definitely don't buy an FRER yet. Try testing with the OPK in another week if you don't have anymore bleeding, and if it's dark, go get a test!
nectarine / 2180 posts
@madisonbee: That's a tricky spot then. Wal-Mart sells tests for $0.88 if you feel the need to pee on something.
pomegranate / 3212 posts
@madisonbee: since the spotting started so early if it is implantation spotting you might see a second line soon... maybe test tomorrow evening and Sunday morning? 7 DPO is definitely limbo and one of my
Least favorite days of the month.

@mrskansas: @snarkybiochemist: ok I'll wait until next Friday (ha, maybe!). I'll use my OPK and see how that looks. I just needed someone else to tell me to not test yet

Just reading my February horoscope... "Something you dearly want to happen, achieve, or receive may now come to you at eclipse time, near February 10."
February 10-14 just happens to be my fertile window...
nectarine / 2813 posts
@madisonbee: limbo sucks. but we're all in this waiting game with you! unfortunately it only gets worse after a positive test
pear / 1553 posts
@mrskansas: Ah don't say that! All I want in the world is a positive test!
nectarine / 2813 posts
@bizwitch: I only say that because of all the waiting for betas, ultrasounds, etc. It's really not THAT bad, but there is some anxiety involved.
But take everything I say with a grain of salt. I've had some bad luck that takes away a lot of the excitement of 2 lines!
pear / 1553 posts
@mrskansas: I get what you're saying. I'm sure I'll be terribly anxious until the second trimester. And even after. If I ever get pregnant.
I had a friend who had a loss at 5 months. FIVE. MONTHS. How heartbreaking.

"You are moving to a new phase of life, dear Aquarius, and itβs an exciting phase, for sure!"
AHHH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!
nectarine / 2813 posts
@bizwitch: yes pregnancy and parenthood is basically just an invitation to worry all the time. and unfortunately bad things do happen, but the majority of the time they don't, so I take comfort in that. The odds are in our favor for getting pregnant and then having healthy babies.

Today is dragging, I am super tired and I just can't wait for the weekend. I'm going for lunch and pedicures with my mom and then dinner with my whole crazy family. I'm only 3 DPO so the tiredness means nothing.

@bizwitch: thanks for that horoscope site. Here's what stood out for me: " If you are attached and ready for a baby, your partner is, too. Thereβs no reason to wait. If you need the help of a fertility specialist, make the appointment in February."
nectarine / 2813 posts
@snarkybiochemist: today is going by so slow! I can't wait for the weekend either. Your plans sound fun though!
I was so exhausted yesterday I kept thinking it must mean something, but being 7 DPO, there is no way.
pear / 1553 posts
@madisonbee: How weird! I agree with @mrskansas not to overthink it.
That said, I have had some CRAZY life-changing stuff happen to me that has lined up within 48 hours of when this particular astrologer predicted things would happen. Goosebump-inducing accuracy.
