    @lisamarieloves: you are so sweet- but not really. Still in training and totally a requirement (not that I'm not happy for mom or baby) to deliver. Then entire time I have an actual practicing physician making sure I don't do anything dumb, breathing down my neck... Lol.

    Good luck everyone!!

    @LindsayinNY: first, though, I need some *actual* sleep And keep your fingers crossed I actually O-things got pushed back a bit because of the infection. But I'm trying not to stress-this is our month to ease back in the game. Though, if we could be BFP twins, I would not complain at all!

    Ok so I tested this AM around 11:30 and OPK was positive. Tonight (8 pm) test was negative. So was the first test the end of my surge. Should we still BD tomorrow AM and PM? We did last night and tonight. Hope we caught it!

    @luckypenny: I'd still do tomorrow if you can. You may not ovulate till tomorrow so it's better safe than sorry.

    @lovelyplum good idea to keep track of the TWW'ers!

    How many DPO are you? Not sure on exact O date since I'm not using OPKs but I'm definitely in week 2 of the TWW. AF expected on Sun.

    How are feeling-both physically and emotionally? Feeling pretty good. I'm trying not to think about how I'm feeling physically. I've been nauseous but that sometimes happens for me before AF. Emotionally I am mostly ok.

    How are you distracting yourself? We went to NYC for 4th of July weekend. I love to travel so this was a perfect distraction. This week I have been to water aerobics and yoga classes. Exercise always helps me!

    @lovelyplum - last year of residency! Ready to be done.

    @Claire.Peonies: you're not out until AF rears her ugly head! Some don't get a lot of symptom with a BFP, and I didn't really get mine until 14/15 DPO

    @lovelyplum: TWWer here!

    How many DPO are you? 7
    How are feeling-both physically and emotionally? Fine - I had crazy, insatiable hunger recently (really bad on Wednesday), but it's not as bad now. I worked out 4x this week so I think that's helping to keep me calm
    How are you distracting yourself? I'm so busy at work and chasing a toddler when I get home, so there's not a whole lot of time to think about it.

    Earliest I can test will be Monday. DH said that I'm not allowed to test w/o him, so since I got to bootcamp at 5:15 on Monday mornings, it will probably be Tuesday when I test.

    How many DPO are you? Maybe 6-7, although I can't be sure since I'm also not using OPKs yet. AF due next week around July 18-20.
    How are feeling-both physically and emotionally? No symptoms stand out to me yet. Really upset stomach/bloating yesterday, but that could be related to AF coming.
    How are you distracting yourself? I'm not going to bother testing unless AF is late, so I'm trying to keep my mind off the possibility. It's hard, though! Every ache or pain could be a sign. I visited a friend out-of-town yesterday which helped distract me quite a bit. Now I'm back home and thinking about babies...

    @Claire.Peonies: I am right there with you at 12dpo. All of the "symptoms" I was having (spotting, lower backache, frequent urination) have disappeared. Wondering if they were just exaggerated PMS symptoms, but hoping its not too indicative one way or the other like @Mrs. J says. Good luck!

    @BabyBoecksMom: we're testing the same day! Fx for you.

    Question: 14dpo doesn't need FMU right?

    @girlinred "now I'm back home thinking about babies"...right there with you! I am also not going to test unless AF is late. (Tested twice last month & seeing AF wasn't as bad as the BFN) Fx for you!!!

    @sera_87: no I was 10 dpo and got a dark line mid day!

    Question for you ladies, I've read on various sites that if a women gets implantation bleeding, then a hpt wouldn't be positive until 3-4 days after the bleeding stopped. Anyone find that to be true? I was spotting from 7 to 11 dpo, and nothing today. Just curious! Thanks!

    So AF didnt come yesterday and hasn't reared her ugly head today yet either. Most of the symptoms I had ( headache, hunger, sore boobs, bloating, and cramping) have pretty much disappeared. I still had some light cramping yesterday and sort of this morning and maybe a little bloat but that's it. I'm now 15dpo and trying to keep my mind off of everything. I tested yesterday morning with a bfn so idk what's going on. Seeing the bfn was depressing and I'm just trying to tell myself that AF is coming and to start focusing on next cycle. However it's hard not to hold out a little glimmer of hope! If AF doesn't come today or tomorrow I might test again with something other than a wondfo...any recommendations? Hopefully I can wait that long!! Lol I wanted to test this morning but at this point I'd rather just see AF than another bfn!

    @Claire.Peonies: I didn't have sore breasts until last week when I hit 7 weeks! I actually had little to no symptoms till 7 weeks so I kept POAS to convince myself that I was actually pregnant.

    So lacking sore breasts (or any symptoms) definitely doesn't mean anything

    @CharityAnne: what did you use to test? Did you get a FRER?

    @jillybean218: pretty sure this happened to @ Bao last week!

    @sera_87: nope!! Are you going to test??

    @BabyBoecksMom: @girlinred: we're all pretty close. I think I'm 6 DPO. When I got groceries last night I bought 4 pregnancy tests in prep for next week - man, will have to keep myself from testing crazy early lol

    @LovelyPlum: I'm in the TWW

    How many DPO are you? FF is putting me at 4dpo, but I got the dotted line crosshairs, so not entirely sure. (This was a weirdo month w my temps around O, so I'm not surprised. Oh and I'm trying to add CM and cervix position that I'm nearly certain I'm doing wrong/inconsistently. oops!)
    How are feeling-both physically and emotionally? Fine-The sore bbs from the last few days seem to have died down. And now that i'm passed the "did I O yet?" part I'm ok. Its also way way early so I am not near the POAS craziness. Yet.
    How are you distracting yourself? Showing visiting friends around town

    And an official congrats to @Mrs.Champagne!

    @sera_87: & @BabyBoecksMom: FX!!! Tuesdays have been my lucky day to test. Ridiculous that I remember that, so I'm hoping for good news from you ladies on Tuesday!

    TWW here, too!

    How many DPO are you? Only 5 and already going nuts. Mostly because my crosshairs changed yesterday so I'm not as far along as I thought. Hate that!!

    How are feeling-both physically and emotionally? Fine! I'm trying not to obsess over every little twige and ache, but really nothing's been crazy enough for me to consider yet.

    How are you distracting yourself? Work is really busy right now and we leave today for a fun wedding weekend.

    @LovelyPlum: I tested at 10, 12, and 14 dpo with a wondfo and got a bfn. So I was going to pick up something a little more expensive to test this time. Should I get an actual FRER or will the off brand be ok? Or should I try digital? I'm going to try to hold out till Saturday or Sunday morning to test if AF doesn't come. This happened to me about 3 cycles ago where AF was 5 days late for no apparent reason. My cycles are very regular and that was the first time in 2 years my period was late. I'm scared its going to do it again this time! What is it about ttc that would mess my cycles up? Stress??

    @luckypenny: Thanks!!! I have my own fingers and toes crossed too! Lol

    almost to the end of my tww and going nuts! today is 10 dpo and 11 dp trigger and i want to test so bad, but if i am not pg i'd much rather see af than the bfn on a test.. af is due on monday, but thinking about testing tomorrow - only reason why i might not is i have my cousin's bridal shower and don't want to be a sad mess sitting there all day.. urgh!

    i've been so incredibly slow at work this week so ALL i am doing is symptom spotting! today extremely fatigued, cramps, sore nipples, and stomach ache.. just wish pms and pg symptoms weren't all the same!

    Is anyone testing today?? I'm impatient for more BFPs!

  38. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @littleredhairedgrl: I was the same as you - I'd rather AF just showed up than see a BFN! I only tested twice during my six cycles! Though I'm totally a test pusher, so I hope you break down and test early so we can celebrate a BFP! I'm totally keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

  39. fussygal

    @littleredhairedgrl: PG and AF symptoms being the same is a cruel, cruel joke! It always gets me second guessing myself! FX for you. Maybe test on Sunday after the shower

    I know I haven't been active on this thread, but it's better for my sanity if I mostly lurk ;).

    BUT

    I just had to come here and say that I HATE the TWW!!!!! And I don't even know if I'm in the game this month. I don't chart, I don't temp, I barely paid attention to CM and the calendar this month. I have no clue what's happening. I was not like this when TTC with LO. It just happened and we didn't really think about anything. We're not even really trying yet. Plus, DH has already started talking as if I'm pregnant (he's convinced that I'm super fertile and can sneeze and get pregnant), which doesn't help my craziness!
