Hellobee Boards

@MrsBrewer: I thought about waiting until Saturday too... one day of willpower and it goes to my head! If you don't usually ovulate, I think it would be hard to know if the tenderness is a post-ovulation/progesterone symptom, or a pregnancy symptom. It really is cruel that the symptoms are the same! I had breast tenderness last cycle when we weren't TTC (but not 100% careful), and I wondered if I could be pg, but it turned out to be PMS. I don't usually get that symptom though, and I didn't get it with my first two pregnancies. Such a mind f#@%!

ETA: The high temp is awesome though! Any idea how long your LP is? You inspired me to take my temp this morning... however, I took it only 2.5 hours after getting up to pee. I forget how long you have to be in bed... 3 or 4 hours? My temp was up though, assuming my cloverline is the same as it was 2 years ago... which is of course a big assumption

@Anutka: That is tricky, sorry! I have a few friends who had to wean entirely to ovulate/get pg, so I guess it's good that you at least could still continue. I wanted to nurse until 2 years, but had to stop at 11.5 mo when LO self-weaned, probably due to me lower supply.

@78h2o: Yea this is definitely my first cycle that I think I even ovulated truthfully (I took Clomid for the first time this cycle) Since I normally don't ovulate, I have no idea which symptoms to look out for! I hate it too that the symptoms with pg and PMS are similar! boo!!! hahahah No idea about the length of my LP, and truthfully I don't even know what average??

Yay for taking your temp! I think it's recommended that you have 3 hours of sleep before you temp, but I would think that 2.5 is close enough! Alright....want to make a pact that we will wait until Saturday to test?? Hold out one more day??

@Anutka: I think I'm going to wait one more day until Saturday to test now, that way I'm 10 DPO. Hopefully more accurate then!

@78h2o: LOL! It's okay, Saturday is a stretch for me as well. I have Wondfos at home that I want to use!! I think tomorrow is the day as well for me!

@cascademom: ugh, I'm sorry! I hope it's not a CP. I had a little spotting around 6 weeks when I was pregnant with my daughter and it ended up ok. However, I had early spotting in my first pregnancy that ended in miscarriage at 7.5 weeks, so I think it is impossible to know how it's going to go. I will be thinking good thoughts for you and hoping it sticks.

@78h2o: @Mrs. J: I had spotting issues with LO. We did the deed last night. The discharge is happening way after it. I typically spot before my period as well.

@cascademom: Aw, I hope it's just your bean burrowing in.

@cascademom: yeah. I had spotting between weeks 5 & 6 and the doctor said it was implantation spotting from the embryo getting comfy in there. Is it red, pink or brown?

Hmmm... Mine was brownish peach. No globs. Well fingers crossed. I guess you'll have to wait to know....

@cascademom: my spotting at 6 weeks with LO was brownish red. It sounds like it could be implantation, friable cervix, or CP. Hopefully it's one of the first two possibilities. I think the fact that you had a friable cervix before means that it is likely that you have it again... and sex yesterday could have irritated things, even if it didn't show up right away. Did you go to bed soon after?

Late on my period over here, but I caved and took a first response test last weekend before wine tasting (11 DPO). If nothing happens by tomorrow morning I'll probably test again. Holding out hope that the FRER was wrong!

@cascademom: FX everything is good!!

I'm officially out for September, which gives me a 10 day LP. Is that too short?

@RubyCali: @78h2o: @MrsBrewer: and anyone else testing, hope to see some pretty lines tomorrow!!

@Anutka: Thanks. Nothing since the spotting and the remains of it. I've done my random tests for it like I did with LO. We'll see what tonight, tomorrow, and the weekend brings.

Anyone else still waiting to O? I'm actually not sure yet if I'll be an end of September or early October tester--I'm on CD14, so if I O in the next two days, I could test on the very last day of September. Things have been great so far this cycle--very steady temps, OPKs went from blank to blinking smileys, EWCM. We also started BDing a lot earlier/more regularly than past cycles. I really hope it works.......a BFN this cycle would fall on my 30th birthday AND push us into the 6+ month phase. I think that will be pretty hard.

I'm 7 dpo... temp was still up this morning... boobs (really just nipples) have been pretty sore/full feeling since O (that's kind of unusual for me).... so we'll see what happens.

And I'm having a glass of wine tonight because, well, as far as I know I'm not pregnant yet.

As I'm getting closer to when I'll either start my period or getting a BFP, I've been feeling super nervous about potentially being pregnant. It's keeping me up at night. Like, is this the right decision now? Am I ready for this? How will I handle work? What if I get super sick when I'm pregnant? Ahhh...

@angelachase: cycle buddy! Hope you O soon! I am also on CD14 and I was expecting a positive opk today... But both morning and afternoon we negative. Womp womp. Hoping tomorrow to get a positive... I really don't want another anovulatory cycle. I plan to keep up the EOD BD through CD22 if I can't confirm O using opks and cross my fingers that I just missed the surge because it was middle of the night or something! I plan to POAS by the end of the month either way!

@78h2o: thanks! I guess I'll see how the next couple of cycles go

So, I tested last night and this morning. The tests are getting darker. No spotting since yesterday's thing at work. I was tired and crampy, so I put on some socks and went to bed. I'm going to see how the weekend goes and then email my OB about the spotting to see if I can get wanded before 8 weeks.

Call me a hopeless optimist. I'm 9 DPO but I swear I see the faintest line.

Okay now I feel stupid because you can't see it on the picture at all....

*deleted picture* maybe tomorrow it will be darker.

@angelachase: I'm still waiting here with ya. By my estimates and digital flashing smileys, I should O on Sunday. Either way I'll probably stick to POAS on the 30th. These long cycles PP are killing me.
