Hellobee Boards

Hi ladies! I'm checking back in as the end of my TWW draws to a close... I have taken a bit of a step back from all this during the past month after my CP last cycle. I have been quietly/happily following along with all of you though and am thrilled to see so many BFP! SO exciting. Lots of to all of you.

For me this month, I appeared to ovulate relatively on track (maybe a couple days later than normal) this month and am going to POAS Weds I think. AF due Weds/Thurs if on time, but not sure if cycle will be weird bc of CP. I'm starting to feel anxious about it all, just wanting to know what will be up! Have had no symptoms at all, which is consistent with last cycle's CP. No pre-AF like symptoms either. So, I guess I'll just have to see! I can't lie - there's a big part of me that's hoping somehow my hormones were all primed to get a BFP this month. Although will be super nervous if it is...

Wishing so much luck to everyone waiting around this month! xo

Good luck to those ladies who are nearing POAS date.

I'm in period limbo at what may or may not be 6DPO. Still spotting pretty heavily. Took to pregnancy test last night because I was cramping so bad and having nausea but that was a waste. This is pretty standard for me and I am expecting AF sometime between tonight and Wednesday. Since I'm already spotting I'd rather just get this show on the road with AF. Once you spot the length of your LP is already greatly compromised so there's no point in sitting in limbo. Anyway, I may get another may POAS date, not sure. That will be cycle 6 so I may post on the 6 months board more frequently but I'll check in here. Sorry it's just hard sometimes when you get to a certain number of cycles to see so many people come on go without you. Much luck to all!

@Gigi2: Thank you! We will get our "rainbow" babies...the meantime is just hard.

@Tidybee: that's the plan once we get to 8 months TTC because our insurance covers zero fertility related appointments. I may try to push it sooner but I'm not sure if u should wait until after we fully wean or not. This whole LP situation has been such a nightmare.

@Espion: aw you are so sweet! What a doll. I am officially on CD1 as full blown AF came to town. I don take zinc. I take a b complex and a prenatal. Perhaps I will try adding zinc. Thank you for the suggestion and the support.

@MrsMccarthy: I am so sorry, hon. Treat yourself well...

@MrsMccarthy: I'm sorry. I hope you can get the support you're needing with the 6m+ ladies. Some of them are ttc experts and may have better suggestions. Hope it happens soon!

@MrsMccarthy: Ahhh hugs to you! Hope you get your BFP really, really soon!

Yay! CBE Advanced showed peak this morning. Last night and this am's cheapie OPKs were alllllmost positive, I expect they will be tonight. So, sometime between today and the 15th is O-day.

Sadly, my temps probably won't narrow it in more specifically than the OPKs this cycle. I'm on call for work and am getting woken up in the middle of the night a lot so my temps are pretty whacky.

I've already told sweetie I'm going to need some more semen tonight, and that Wednesday is a maybe.

Here comes the somewhat less than 2 week wait!

@Espion: thank you! I'll try the zinc. I know you are right. I really could just be experiencing all of this due to nursing. I'm just so nervous I will wean and it will persist. I also have read this can be an issue as women get older and I am 37 next month.

Thanks everyone for your sweet support! I hope you all graduate from here this month!

My POAS day was supposed to be tomorrow - If this cycle is "normal" AF due tomorrow or Thurs, but I couldn't help myself and tested this morning. Of course, BFN. I know I definitely ovulated a couple days late (CD 19-20 I think), I think due to CP last month, so I'm only 8-9 DPO, which is super early to test. Really just hoping this doesn't mean I'm just going to have a too short LP this month for anything to happen. When would you ladies test again (assuming AF doesn't show first!!!!)?

@Gigi2: I'd hold out as long as you can, assuming those BFN's are upsetting to you (they were to me). I got BFN's every single day until AF was due!

Ugh, I'm 6 dpo and spotting heavily, had a slight temp dip this AM...I have a bad feeling about this month, which sucks because I was really optimistic. I had about convinced myself I was pregnant. I hope I'm wrong and it's like early implantation spotting or something. Blah.

@googly-eyes: Weird! Did you mention you were TTCing? A lot of doctors do it just as a precaution.

@lovelyplum: thank you so much!!

@MrsMccarthy: I'm so sorry. Hope you get your BFP very soon!!

I don't even know if I am in the two week wait or not (according to FF I am) but I didn't use OPKs, so I don't know if I even O'ed. Anyway, I woke up this morning with a cold which is sort of like last month and my first thought was "could I be pregnant?!" Or...I could just have a cold. I am exhausted, sore throat, lightheaded, queasy tummy...Its rare for me to get sick, especially in May but symptom spotting is the worst...especially if you have no idea if you O'ed. My brain is just plain wacky!

@LovelyPlum: I'm not completely regular with my periods but based on how long my cycles have been- sometime between a couple days from now through the 18th! Maybe another reason I'm thinking it means nothing... It's have been pretty darn early.

@BakerBee: no, they just asked when my last period was so I answered that. I mean... They wouldn't keep that info from someone right? That's ridiculous. I'm also thinking it was a precaution.

So, I took an OPK (yes, I cheated) just to give FF some data because it gave me a seven day fertile period and this is what I got...my previous positive OPKs weren't dark for the whole strip, just one part was super dark. One part of the control is dark but I would still consider it a negative, right?

@sorrycharlie: Haha! My thoughts, too! Here is another. (I know sometimes a different angle helps...though this looks the same, haha.)
