@HellOnHeels: I had a lot of creamy CM too! I seriously have been googling if everything is a pregnancy symptom. haha

@ChiCalGoBee: hah no way! Don't push me farther, sista! Lol.

@whenoceansrise: If you don't normally feel that way once in a while, I would say it's a HUGE sign! So excited for you!

Hi Ladies:

I thought I'd put my TWW symptoms (often, lack thereof), as I thought for sure I'd "know" when it was pre-BFP. As it turns out, I think I felt more "symptoms" last month when I didn't get a BFP. Hope this helps some of you who are TWWing! Sorry in advance for the novel, just wanted to record it all!

1 DPO: temp rose, although I'm not sure how high because I realized my thermometer was broken. Ugh. Knew O happened because I'd gotten a smiley face on my OPKs and peak on my monitor, and then surge went down
2 DPO: nada
3 DPO: creamy CM like woah. I actually thought it was a yeast infection, but the itchiness went away after a day and creamy CM stuck around for a few more
4 DPO: gradually CM dried up. Felt a boob "twinge" here and there, but nothing else.
5 DPO: cramp on left side
6 DPO: dull ache behind left nipple at night, yawning all afternoon
7-8 DPO: Not much...in the evening of 8 DPO I felt totally nauseated. I couldn't eat dinner, but figured it was unrelated. Maybe not?

The rest are going to be 9/10 DPO, 10/11 DPO, 11/12 DPO etc., as I think I was a day off from FF but I can't be sure. SO...

8/9 DPO: woke up to light spotting....bright red followed by a little brown. Quickly gone. Left side cramps in evening. Freaked out that my LP was super short and AF was imminent.
9/10 DPO (Friday): Woke up, and wrote "All hope is lost for this cycle (#DRAMAQUEEN!)" because I had more brown/red blood. Went out and bought panty liners as I had none and anticipated AF by the evening. For some reason (desperation?) POAS at 3 PM and got a squinter. Like...I showed it to a friend who was staying with me and she gave me a, "I think you want to see something that isn't there" look. Held my pee the rest of the afternoon and got a slightly darker line by 7 PM. Cue excitement and freakout. FWIW: Wondfos were still complete BFNs.

10/11 DPO: FRER is slightly darker, negative digital HPT. Still spotting from yesterday. Right before bed had a huge mass of red (like, almost filled the whole panty liner) and basically decided if I had had anything it was a chemical and I expected my period the next morning. Had a "smudge" on a Wondfo.
11/12 DPO: Brown spotting after B.M. Positive digi and stronger FRER with SMU. Told DH:-).
12/13 DPO: Negative digi (cue panic and freakout). Went to doc and had positive blood test, even though urine test was only "slightly" positive when I was there. Sigh. Back pain.
13/14 DPO: Temp still high, lines continue to get darker. headache.
14/15 DPO: Had no appetite in the morning, but very hungry at night. Back pain. headache. Positive digi.
15/16: DPO same as day before. Took a Clearblue Weeks Estimator and it predicted me as 2-3 weeks post ovulation which is perfect. I have no idea how much to trust that test, but it seems to indicate my body is (FX FX FX) doing what it needs to.

And that's all there is! BFP vibes for all!!

@WhenOceansRise: @HellOnHeels: I just saw that you both are testing soon! I'll be testing tomorrow too, even though it will only be 10 dpo. Just can't wait any longer!

CD31
12DPO
BFN this morning.

@Kbee: Can't wait to see an update!

@whenoceansrise: Boo, sorry about the BFN You're not out yet, though!

@snowjewelz: @theotherstark: I'm still hoping AF doesn't come!
@hellonheels: Yeah, it could have been too early. But I agree with you, so sick of this TWW!

@whenoceansrise: @HellOnHeels: BFN for me too. I realized I calculated wrong and I am probably 9dpo instead of 10dpo. AF is due tomorrow (10 or 11-day luteal phase, yuck). So we'll see! Sorry that you both have had BFNs as well - but it's still so early!

@HellOnHeels: @whenoceansrise: @Kbee: Keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies!!

@whenoceansrise: That's awesome!! You're 13 dpo today, right? Stay away AF!!! When do you think you'll test next?

@theotherstark: I'll probably test tomorrow if AF doesn't come. But I really think AF is just late soooo we'll see!

@theotherstark: thanks!! 10dpo today, AF expected today or tomorrow. I generally try not to symptom spot, and assume that anything I feel is just coincidence or me looking for something, but today I seriously feel like I have been hit by a truck. For about the last week I've had a severe sinus headache similar to allergies, and today my ears seem to be clogged, I've got watery eyes, AND I woke up with vertigo! So strange. It could actually just be allergies? So I'll see in a few days time I suppose.

@Kbee: dang allergies! That really blows!

I've been feeling unusually tired today, but that could be because I didn't sleep super well last night, but I've had nights like that before and haven't felt tired and rundown like this... Lol.

@whenoceansrise: @Kbee: Are you guys testing?

@snowjewelz: tested this morning and got a BFN. still no sign of AF though. this has been the weirdest cycle ever.

@Kbee: @whenoceansrise: Aw man! But the good news is AF isn't here yet! Late implantation totally possible still!

@Mrs.Lilac: I was venting on the March POAS thread about how I still haven't O'd and I don't know when I will b/c I don't know how long this cycle's gonna be! I'm so glad you had a great time w/ DH to relax & feel good after a BFN! Looks like you're all ready for a new cycle w/ the OPKs!

@Hellonheels: Boo temp drop I haven't been temping, but kind of wish I was so I'd have that extra help in knowing what's going on!

@Kbee: @whenoceansrise: @HellOnHeels: Boo, I'm sorry about the BFNs/temp drops, but since AF is still not there, I have hope for you!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your BFPs!!!

@Mrs.Lilac: I really hope you don't have to use those OPKs at all! I feel so old-school next to you ladies with your flashing smiley OPKs; I just have the dip sticks that give lines

@snowjewelz: Ugh, I'm sorry you haven't O'ed yet. Are you starting to track your CM? I find that to be super helpful.

@snowjewelz: It's hard to know, but particularly in the few days leading up to O you can generally notice an increase! On other days, I don't notice too much at all. Do you check your cervix? That's a good way to check CM as well.

Sorry you're still in O-limbo That's so frustrating.
