@Sugar.Biscuit: good luck with the charting! i'm going to start next month if this isn't my lucky cycle

Roll me over, I'm out! I wasn't super hopeful for this cycle anyway, our timing stunk and I'm still nursing our daughter 4x/day and pumping once. At least we get to have fun trying!

Have you guys ever had a + OPK on a Wondfo and a - OPK on a expensive store brand? This happened to be yesterday. I was bored and decided to test on a pink line store brand with the same urine (not sure of the brand because I didn't have the box)...and it was negative! Are the Wondfos more sensitive or less reliable? We'll see what testing does today...

@anonysquire: I feel you. I tested today and a BFN :-(. I also have no idea what DPO I am. My cycles since being off BC have been all out of whack (28, 25, 29, 30 days). Even though I had wet CM around CD 10,11,12 this month my OPKs were all negative - and then I left for a trip overseas so the jet lag & stress might have delayed O for a week.

I was hoping the OPKs were wrong and I was 13 DPO. But it was a stark negative test today so my hopes are down and I'm feeling sad. Add that to the fact that I have no idea when AF is going to come and it really sucks.

I guess we're both still in the game though until AF comes, right??? I've vowed to not take another test until she comes or I'm well past her "expected" arrival (whenever that is).

I was getting so hopeful for this cycle - DH's family is now coming up for Christmas to celebrate with mine and it would have just been SO PERFECT to tell them over the holidays.

I'm trying to stay positive but inside my heart is sad a little bit.

@SweetMamaM: ME TOO! That is the only major symptom i've been having (other than run-of-the-mill sore breasts and back). Undeniable thirst and dry mouth. So bizarre.

@thismustbetheplace: oh I'm so glad it's not just me. I usually am pretty bad at drinking enough water, now I'm drinking it like it's going out of fashion!
Other than that I'm just getting mood swings and cramp which could just as easily mean AF is on the way... Oh and tiredness but it's the end of a school year over here so could be anything.

@JamieLee: Thank you so much! I really needed that. I am on cd32 so we probably didn't time anything right this month (today's bfn says that). I'm thinking it's time to buy some opks. We weren't going to start trying for a baby til next month (we just got married in August) but after we got pregnant and lost it, it's all I want. It's such an awful feeling. I hate feeling alone. The girls here are the only people I can talk to that relate. I truly appreciate everything and everybody. I am so happy for you right now! And I am so sorry for the loss of your baby and mom. I couldn't imagine pulling through like you did. I wish you a healthy and happy 9 months! :))

@doxielove Looks good! Good luck!

@Mrs squirreld: Maybe its early pregnancy signs? Have you taken a test yet?

AF is due for me on Wednesday (or Friday, my cycles have been all out of whack since going off BC in July). I took a test yesterday and it was negative so I'm not holding out much hope. Worst of all, my travels overseas might have delayed ovulation, meaning that AF could be nowhere in sight and I'm still not KU. I so wish I would have been temping this cycle!

I've given up on the dream of telling our parents over the Christmas holidays.... I just want a baby and know that it will happen for us eventually.

Wow - I was MIA this weekend because we were traveling and it looks like I missed so much! Congrats to the BFP's and will be thinking of you MrsSomeone!

As for me, our weekend away severely put a damper in BD'ing. We were staying with friends who have a very loud bed and paper thin walls - eeek - means we only got to BD on Fri (FF shows O Date of Thurs). So we'll see - not sure how confident I feel for this month but maybe we'll get a holiday miracle!

I leave for India until Dec 21 (my testing date) tomorrow...I think I am going to take only one test so I cant go bonkers.

@MrsCastro: My initial test was last Monday with a HCG level of 735. Had another test taken last Thursday with a HCG level of 2912. The OB said it was looking good so far and wanted me to come in next week for an ultrasound to confirm pregnancy.

@Sugar.Biscuit: Sorry to hear you're out. Best of luck with charting and wishing you BFP soon!!

@Thehistoryofus: Sorry to hear you're out, but best of luck next cycle!!

@doxielove: Yay for O!!! Good luck and BD like crazy!!

I'm out. AF decided to show up a few days early this time :-/.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

@just_ju: oh no!! Sorry!!! At least you can enjoy all the Christmas cheer and New Year celebration with champagne and everything delicious!! Best of luck to you next month!

@just_ju: Thanks!

@Modern Daisy: Runnerd: I'm TWWing too! 8 or 9DPO. This point in the TWW always seems the worst for me, when I'm getting to the time that I COULD have symptoms....but don't have any, and it's probably too early to POAS...but I'm pretty sure it's not our month anyway because I'm feeling nothing.

@mango.sprays: I know, I totally hear you. And I am definitely going to POAS at 7 dpo lol! I hope that your 'nothing' turns into a big something!!!

@Alivoo01: Ha, the answer she gave you is like the least helpful thing ever. Frustrating!
I agree that the ranges are totally vague and confusing. Your numbers more than doubled by a lot though, so that has to be good! I think I've also read that >2,000 means they can accurately date the pregnancy by ultrasound, or something...but don't quote me on that

@MrsCastro: Oh awesome, we're both 3 dpo!! I really hope your cramps mean you are getting a little holiday miracle! I have basically no symptoms other than the slight pressure feeling the other day. Do you think alcohol affects our chances at all? I haven't been binge drinking, but I went out two nights this weekend and had a couple drinks..

@Modern Daisy: I think I'm 11dpo and the suspense is freaking killing me! My list of symptoms is pretty crazy (headaches, cramps, cm, gas, extreme thirst), if I'm not knocked up I should probably see a doctor, cause something isn't right.
I'm trying to hold off testing until Saturday NZ time (15dpo)... Had to talk myself off the POAS ledge this morning.

@SweetMamaM: Good luck!! Your symptoms sound very promising! Take it one day at a time, as hard as it is..
