@LindsayInNY: I just posted a few days ago in the TWW Symtpom Thread that I had more creamy cm than usual before my bfp. Same as you, I hadn't recorded that I was usually "dry" but it definitely was more than I'd ever really noticed before.
Sorry to contribute to the obsession but for me it was a good sign

i'm officially in the TWW. ugh! first morning without my beloved cup of joe. i'm struggling.
i ovulated yesterday, so today makes it 1DPO. as far as POAS, i'm going to try and hold out until august 5 or until AF is late!

@LovelyPlum: bwahahaha, love that you decided for us! I got back last night (yayyyy!) but we haven't actually made a decision yet--I fell asleep in the middle of a conversation, oops! stupid time zone changes also, boooo blisters! the only bee sting I've ever gotten was on the bottom of my foot, it was torture!
@Pancakes: and @xoxoxo congrats!
@dandelion: keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@LovelyPlum: Poor lady! Hope you're doing ok wobbling around today. That sounds really painful! But A+ for effort, trying to get a good walk in, right?!
@LindsayInNY: Can't wait for you to POAS!

@Dandelion: wait....you can do that?? Oh boy I wish didn't know that bec I'm sure I'll be doing that some day soon!!

@cmbknyc: I never knew you could take apart a test, either. I'm going to start doing it just for fun. If my Dh saw me, however, he would make fun of me forever.

@LindsayInNY: fingers crossed for you!!! Saturday will be here before you know it!!!!

@cmbknyc: haha, yeah! It's not really all that sanitary, so make sure you wash your hands afterwards. But, pull the cap off, then pry it apart at the seams. You just need to bend it a little to get the seam to pop to pry it.

@Dandelion: I love the "wash your hands" suggestion.

@MrsMcD: DH would think I was nuts if he knew I dismantled them. I fully intend on only showing him a test that is an obvious BFP. I'm saving him the measures of my insanity.
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
@Dandelion: Hahaha. I am also doing the same for my DH.

@LindsayInNY: Since I was also a lurker long before I actually started posting, I'm hoping for your BFP almost more so than my own But at 8dpo I still pretty much have nothing to report in the way of symptoms other than that I've been exhausted for the past week or so. Then again, I work like 12 hour days so that's pretty much the norm for me.

@MrsMcD: glad I wasn't alone @Dandelion: thanks for the instructions! I promise to wash my hands

@xoxoxo: Those are some pretty lines ya got there, Congratulations!
@lemondrop: Oh, sweet, I love sharing hilarity! I look forward to getting to know you, too!
@dandelion: I inversed it and zoomed in. I see a line - yikesy! I am FXing so. hard. for you!
@sprite: Is it ok if I imagine you with rainbow hair?
@lovelyplum: Oh, honey, blisters are the worst. Can you wrap your feet in bubble wrap, a la Michael Scott? Then the walking will produce popped bubble noises and you can enjoy that...
Speaking of weirdness. I'm in theatre. So, I do the waiting thing a lot. (After auditions, I have to wait to find out if I got the role. It's torture.) And, in my theatre experience, I came up with a list of activities to do to distract myself from thinking about the audition. I did some digging and found the list. I'm working on how to get the list online in a usable format. When I'm done, I'll share.

And, cause I just need to say it out loud... Woke up to suuuper dizzy, super nauseated, headache, AF-like cramps. But was a BFN on FRER at 12dpo. Low temps. Creamy CM, but not a lot of it. And spotting. *sigh* Based on everything, I'm just tired of hoping, cause I really think I'm out this month. Blergh.

@sweetkeight: I may or may not be repeatedly fishing it out of the trash to top up my crazy fluids.

@Dandelion: Yeah, That sounds about right I think there are at least a few ladies about who could offer a been there, done that on such a practice. I may or may not be one of them.

@sweetkeight: I am keeping my fingers crossed super tight for you! And if you find a way to share that list I would love you forever (i'm not creepy i promise) because this waiting thing is making me crazy!!!!

@sweetkeight: LOL! Next month we should call the POAS thread The Loony Bin!

@dandelion: my own personal tww serenity prayer:
God grant me the grace to accept that whatever this is, it probably isn't a pregnancy symptom, the strength to change my supplements and routines as my body requires, and the wisdom to know the difference between the advice of internet crazies and my own physician. Amen.
ETA: I haven't seen any 'crazies' on the bee boards.

@cmbknyc: I 'wall'd' you a link, let me know what you think And thanks for the fx - Ima gonna need it.

@sweetkeight: I adore your prayer, and your crazies. So if this isn't your month (which I hope it is!) your love of lists is making me think you should be the POAS/loony bin chair next month
(which we probably should think about at some point, but hopefully not for another week, so we can all hang out here!)
Thanks everyone on the feet. They are a bit better, but still painful. And I POAS today and got a bfn, which I was expecting. I know it is early, but it bummed me out a bit. Still... I have high hopes for this cycle!

@LindsayInNY: so weird! I have no idea.
Also, I'm going to eat us out of house and home. I am starving All. The. Time.

@sweetkeight: I have loved reading all of your posts these last couple of days. You have kept me feeling at least a little sane during this whole crazy process. FX that you're not out this month but if you are, I second @lovelyplum and think you should be chair next month

@linsayinny: twwdistraction.blogspot.com is the link. I'll keep updating all regular-like so there should be a plethora of TWWD's to choose from pretty soon. It's provided me with a ton of distraction in putting it together.
@lovelyplum: The chance to make a list on a regular basis? And talk about fishing-it-out-of-the-trash-and-testing-on-a-period-day-craziness? All while chatting with super awesome HelloBee-ers? Um. there. boom. done.
@almostmrsg: that is very sweet, and so glad to be part of someone else feeling sane - we're all in this crazy boat together, right? (I just had a spontaneous vision of a boat named HMS POAS - I'm now tempted to go draw a picture of it so I can make it my computer wallpaper... hee!)

My FRERs don't get here until tomorrow, so I felt rich with sticks and tried again this morning. Same result...*maybe* more of a line, but it's more of a hallucination. I kind of just want AF to show up and put me out of my misery so that next month I can use OPKs to know when I ovulate. The guessing game is annoying!

@Dandelion: Maybe you can post a pic and we can tell you if there's a line or not? I sooooooo hope there is!!!!
ETA: Aaaaaaand I just saw that you posted pics yesterday. Ignore me!
