    @MrsMcD: I'm glad everything looked good at your appointment! I'm hopeful you'll get your very very soon. And I agree with what others have said - I'm inclined to stick with my OB as long as she'll have me. to you!

    @dc yoga bee: We're almost twins this cycle! Enjoy your BD storm

    @Marfi: Ugh, that's a terrible situation.

    @AmeliaBedilia: I hope the time off work does the trick for you!

    @Keppa: Congrats on confirmed O! FX for good things this weekend! And so strange about the moms with LO's close in age to yours! I know of 4 babies in various circles born in the last week. It feels like it comes in waves...

    @dc yoga bee: FX about the job!

    @MrsMcD: did your dr put you on the vitamins? It's good to hear there wasn't a large concern about DH. Good luck with your tests! Will that be next cycle? FX ins covers it. When we reach that point, I think I'll stay with my OBGYN as long as possible too.

    @sarahnicole218: Big hugs. We are all here of you need anything...

    I'm on cd 6, waiting to O. I have a majorly stressful week next week, so I hope that doesn't delay O.

    Still no AF so far today on CD 34. Gonna try to wait until Friday to test again if AF doesn't show before then.

    @Marfi: Gah. I'm sorry. Are you just going by cycle day or do you have a confirmed O date as well?

    @DCYogaBee: What??!?!? Only in government...

    How many days before O do you usually see EWCM, if you track it? I'm on CD7 and I feel like that is really early to be seeing it, but I had a bunch this morning. (I O'd on CD14 last cycle). Just curious what others have experienced - how long before O you see it, if you see it every day, etc. Thanks for the input!

    @MrsMcCarthy: @HeartAbandoned: @Raindrop: @MrsMcD: @Septca: @Mrs. TicTacToe: @AmeliaBedlia: and @Crystal:
    Thank you ALL so much for your hugs, prayers, and support. You have been the best through all of my struggles. I did just finally submit a gold-only thread if you have time to check it out and want to know what's been going on. It's VERY long, so please do not feel bad if you don't have time to check it out. But as we all have shared so much about ourselves and been there for each other, I felt like this was a good place to come looking for support.

    @Marfi: Gotcha. So it is possible that you O'ed late (that is apparently pretty common with travel). I really hate TWW limbo, so I am sending you lots of .

    Y'all... I am exhausted and starving this morning. Two breakfasts and an extra cup of coffee and I am thinking I am totes KU.

    Just kidding. It is only 1 DPO, so obviously my starving exhaustion is all about it being Wednesday. Gah. I am already ready for this day to be over. And of course a 4:00 meeting just popped up on my schedule.

    I am using my slow day to shamelessly network my way into a new job (FX!) and to HB. It's a super productive day, obviously. (And I know all of you care deeply about this...)

    @septca: LOL @ totes KU. I just got pulled into a 2hr meeting that won't be pretty so I have 10 min to scarf this salad down. I'm doing this new thing where I drink 2-3 liters of water a day at work, eat salads for lunch and have to use the restroom all day. Trying to slim down for the summer!

    @dc yoga bee: Ha ha! Beware the water intake... once you ramp it up, you can never go back and you'll spend the rest of your life in the work bathroom... (I used to drink 2-3L/day and had to go up to 3-4L/day when I was BFing... now I am *parched* if I don't drink that much. My body has adjusted to the intake, but oddly has not figured out how to pee less.)

    @sarahnicole218: I responded too. I know this was so hard for you. It takes great courage but I really do believe the happiest days of your life will follow the hard days. Huge hugs. Hope we see you on here again in the future.

    @septca: good luck on the job search! Watch you get a new job and end up KU as soon as it starts. The universe loves to do little things like that. It would all be a blessing though.

    I really need to figure out a good project or something else in my life to focus on besides TTC. My son is a good one but he also reminds me because I see him and see how fast he is growing and long for him to have a sibling. I think I need something that is ME centered. I've been trying to diet but honestly dieting just makes me eat more because I am so emotional these days. I need to tune in to some new passions.

    I decided to keep my appointment for May 28. I'll be CD17 then so who knows my doc may even be able to take my progesterone levels that day. Not sure though. Anyway the appointment is for my strange periods but ill also ask my doc how she feels about my cycles, nursing and fertility. It will be good to talk to a professional even if I can't do anything until we decide to go the fertility testing route.

    @MrsMccarthy: good luck with your appointment! And try yoga! I've gotten back to my practice to try to chill out about this ttc process. I feel so relaxed afterwards!

    @HeartAbandoned: I'm so glad to hear that you would like to stick with your obgyn as well! You recently did a round of clomid, right? Was it monitored? What's your plan next?

    @Crystal: No, my doctor did not mention or recommend any vitamins. DH and I are now doing Fertility Blend (for men and women, respectively, obviously) and CoQ10. We are going to do that for a few months. I take DHA and extra vitamin D. Flaxseed and maca smoothies. No more royal jelly because it caused me a problem that I will tell you about privately if you wall me. I'm hoping this all does the trick!

    @charmed: and @septca: Thanks for sharing your info re: cost of the HSG. I'm just too antsy to hearing back next week or whatever from my doctor about my own insurance coverage.

    @dc yoga bee: That's a crazy computer glitch! I hope you get that job if you are still interested in it.

    @septca: FX for your new job. Do you have one already picked out?

    @AmeliaBedilia: I'm so glad you feel your life is being improved. I really hope you can enjoy the break between your two jobs.

    @MrsMccarthy: I'm glad you have a doctor's appointment. There's a lot of basic routine blood work you can have done that can help you at least cross one thing off your TTC.

    @Keppa: Yay you O.. I think you, me and @LindsayInNY: are very close to being O twins... but that makes sense because we have a lot of people POASing soon.

    @dc yoga bee: Yay for your job... silly computer glitches

    @Marfi: Bummers!! Still in limbo... argh.

    @sarahnicole218: *hugs* I also commented on your post but wanted to give you hugs here too.

    @MrsMccarthy: I think it's great you have appointment. Good lucky lady, I hope you get some answers.

    I don't think I covered everyone so *BIG HUGS FOR EVERYONE!*

    I'm Dpo6 and I feel nothing... no symptoms at all. Though I heard that could be a symptom. I don't know I was feeling really good about this month now I'm feeling a little less confident. So silly I know.

  24. mrs. tictactoe

    blogger / pomegranate / 3201 posts

    Why do I ALWAYS think I'm KU during the TWW??? Every single cycle I feel nauseas, exhausted, get headaches, runny nose... I think I'm 8 or 9 dpo today and I really want to test early, but I know I shouldn't. I hate that every cycle I get my hopes up and every cycle I'm disappointed. This cycle our timing wasn't even great and I'm still super hopeful and feeling (likely fake) symptoms. Help me!!!

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3688 posts

    @mrs. tictactoe: ((hugs)) This is my 20th (?!?!) cycle of TTC and I swear I have been 110% convinced that I was KU every single one of them.

    Not that *I* would stop you from POAlltheSs if that is something you wanted to do...

    @mrs. tictactoe: and @Raindrop: you silly girls!! you know not to symptom spot!!

    BUT - I second @septca: 's gentle urging that any or all of you POAS. We need something to keep us going on this thread during our dry spell. I don't think I can wait until @lindsayinny: 's voluntary tribute to POAS early on the 18th.

    @Raindrop: I wish I could have one cycle where I feel nothing! Haha knowing me that would be the cycle when I was actually KU...

    Having some fun. I thought what is the possibility if I tested on Dpo6 that I would get a positive... there is a website for that!

    http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=6

    Here is the chart of dpo 6. Still not testing but I thought it was interesting.

    @septca: FX for the job!

    @mrs. tictactoe: right there with you. Every time AF arrives I laugh and/or cry at myself and think never again--next cycle I will not get my hopes up...and then I find myself looking up symptoms and pregnancy charts on FF. EVERY. TIME. Hope is a funny thing.

    @Raindrop: those charts. Sometimes they give me hope and sometimes they just keep me in denial. haha

    @Raindrop: I think @lindsayinny: showed me that website months ago and I look at it hundreds of times during the TWW.

  35. Raindrop

    grapefruit / 4731 posts

    @MrsMcD: @lindsayinny: does seem to know the best websites! I must have missed it when she shared it. Though the 15% chance of getting a positive test if I am KU seems temping. SOOO temping

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @Raindrop: I have loved all the websites you have been sharing. I forget about some of them sometimes. I see no harm in testing early. You just need to remember not to get disappointed.

    @MrsMcD: This is tough I feel nothing basically. But then in my head I go over and over the last few days and think maybe this or that was something.

    Here is one of my many crazy thoughts. We bought costco ribs recently ... never bought them before but seemed doable. It comes in a pack of 2 raw ribs that you put in the oven basically for 2 hours. On Sunday night my bartender BIL came over at 11pm and ate all our left over ribs that we were planning to eat for Monday night dinner. I didn't bother me we love feeding family but all day Monday all I could think about was ribs ribs ribs and right when I got out of work I high tailed it to Costco to buy more ribs to make that night which of course was another 2-3 hours to cook and so we didn't end up eating till like 9:30pm but it was totally worth it. Thinking back about it... was that a craving?!? Haha. I feel like TWW makes sane women crazy.

    @Raindrop: I don't know if it was a craving or not... but now I want the ribs!!!!!!!! I'm really hoping you get a bfp when you eventually do test. You'd have a horse baby!

    @MrsMcD: Thank you friend. You too! See you are already have cravings! j/k

    @Raindrop: I'm so lame that sometimes I think I might be pregnant even though I've gotten my period. So I'm CD8 today, and I think "maybe I'm pregnant!" Lame and crazy.
