    @HolisticMama: CP was always my suspicion when I had a late period. For you, I think it was just late implantation, and you'll get a BFP tomorrow! Are they just doing blood work on you tomorrow?

    I'm doing ok. Had two stark white BFNs yesterday and the day before. I'm hoping to test which will be 11 DPO. No developing symptoms, which makes me nervous, to be honest.

    @Crystal: They just told me to call. I'm really hoping they won't make me wait longer. She did say it was odd I was late with no history of being late.

    Well, I called the Reproductive Medicine & Fertility Center this morning. All of the clinicians are with patients. So I left a message. Hopefully I will hear back today.

    I'm feeling exceptionally tired this morning.
    I'm experiencing sensitivity behind my nipples. Does that make sense? Like the milk ducts hurt?

    It's Monday. So I'm experiencing this symptom:

    I'm starting to have symptoms... but sadly eerily similar to what I've had earlier months right before AF shows...

    @littlek: Symptoms are such funny elusive things. What CD are you again?

    @HolisticMama: CD 25 and AF is always here by CD27. Only time I have been late is due to pregnancy.

    @littlek: I think the last days of the cycle are always the worst. Would you agree? Do you do anything special for yourself during that time?

    @HolisticMama: I drank a lot last night. It felt great then... now, not so much.

    @HolisticMama: They are the worst days!!

    @littlek: LOL- isn't that always the way?!

    I broke out a little bit today, and thats usually means AF is near. I am pretty sure AF is due on thursday, if I have a 14 day LP. I would much rather have a baby instead.

    I'm guessing it isn't possible to experience symptoms at 3 DPO. But I was hit with a really bizarre wall of fatigue last night and passed out in bed hours earlier than normal. Very unusual for me.

    @PawPrints: you never know!

    Anyone currently symptom spotting? I have noted so far - mild cramps, pinching sensations, bloating, experienced 10 sec of nausea (I was standing up for a while and didn't have bfast tho...), very tired yesterday...

    FYI, I am also symptom spotting my dog since bees have said their pets can start to act strange once they "detect" your pregnancy!

    @HolisticMama: Yes. I agreed with you previously that last cycle days were the worst...and now that I'm in early cycle days (CD 6), I still concur. I'm nervous about timing BD and O correctly, but since I know I'm not PG, there's nothing to think/feel/do right now.

    My O was late last month-CD 19. I'll be O.O.T. sans husband from CD 16-18, returning on CD 19. Therefore if I O early and BD on the 16th in the morning, that might be my only "shot" this month. I'm frustrated but know there's nothing I can do about it. This is also my first cycle using the CB Fertility Monitor, so I'm hoping to have a good grasp on O. However, I hear it can take a cycle or two to get to know you? Hoping I somehow have a shot this month even though I'm guessing I won't.

    @snowjewelz: Oh lordy...I didn't even consider "symptom spotting" my puppies...obviously I'm going to have to do that now;-). I'm anxious to hear whether or not you Od this month when you thought you did. I had one low temp last cycle that made FF say I Od really early, and I threw it out bc we were traveling and it seemed way off. FF still seems annoyed that I overrode it, but I went on my OPKs and then temp spike rather than FF calling one low dip pre-O. Good luck!

    @ChiCalGoBee: Don't worry too much! Sometimes that one shot is all you need! Yeah, I still have no clue whether I O'd when FF suspected, or I O'd later. FF did take away the crosshair at some point though and I really did not think I O'd that early. HOWEVER, if my cycle is going to stay at 27 days then I really should not have O'd this late either... So we just tried to BD more... But now I don't even know if I'm in true TWW (I'm symptom spotting anyway lol)

    so glad I found this board! Am I ever symptom spotting!!

    First cycle so not 100% sure when I O'd, but I think I'm about 8DPO. So far last week I had insane fatigue even though I had a reduce load at work. 10+ sleep/night. This weekend and last night- couldn't sleep :(. Lots of weird cramping. Almost like a dull ache. Seems to be worse when I'm laying down. Starting last week I also had 2 days of being really really hungry- like every 2 hrs, but back to normal again.

    I thought I had a UTI last week- dr thought I did too, but came back neg. Had an increase in frequency and pressure on the bladder for about 4 days, then went away. Again this morning, had to go 3 times in an hour...

    If I don't get a BFP, this is a super weird month for me :S

    @snowjewelz: Oh man, my dog just did something uncharacteristic and attached towards me and I remembered you mentioned this and now I'm all does she know something?!

  25. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @papercrafter: oo sounds promising! Fx for you!

    @Radish: hahaha I am officially a crazy person too. My dog kept staring at me last night and I kept asking her if I was pregnant, lol

    @snowjewelz: thanks! Fx for you too

    Today I was gassy- I know this sounds ridiculous but almost made me happy because I thought- hey this could be a sign lol. Cramps are gone though :S

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @ChiCalGoBee: let me know how you like it.

    No symptom spotting for me yet, but I can't wait to start doing it soon!

  28. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @papercrafter: I was kind of gassy too! But I never know if it's what I ate so I think I will ignore that sign haha.

    My back has been aching, and I slept at 10 and couldn't even wake up by 8 today. The hard thing is though, I haven't really had PMS symptoms for the past 10+ years from being on BCP. I know when AF is coming, and I get mild cramps/period headaches and that's it. So I really don't know if all these are my PMS signs or BFP signs!

    @Crystal: So far I like it....I think? You don't do anything until CD 6...before that, you're just turning on the monitor in the morning and it tells you what CD it is. I put in "pee" sticks CD 6 and 7, and then again today on 8. CD 6&7 it indicated "low" fertility. Today I got a "high" fertility reading which really surprised me, and caused me to go read the directions. According to the pamphlet: during your first cycle you might get more "high" fertility days than normal, as "high" fertility is just the monitor noticing a surge of estrogen. So it sounds like next cycle it might not mark a "high" until later once it knows my cycle? Either way, I'm glad for a surge in estrogen because that means hopefully O will be within a week? Maybe? O within a week would allow me to get some good BD in before my trip, so I'm very selfishly hoping it is earlier than last cycle.

    Bet you got more info than you wanted, huh?! Sorry!

    So I'm symptom spotting myself today.....

    I just posted this on a different thread, but I like all the opinions I can get. Has any had right lower pinching pain around 9dpo? I'm currently experiencing that and its fairly distracting. I'm never one to symptom spot but this is something entirely new to me. I NEVER get period cramps. Ever.

    pomegranate / 3045 posts

    @MrsMcD: That sounds like it could be very promising!! I had some odd cramping and twinging last cycle, but apparently just PMS for me. Keeping my fingers crossed! Sounds like the timing could be implantation cramping. Eek!

    @theotherstark: Thanks for the response, lady! I hate symptom spotting because then I feel like an idiot when the BFN comes.

  33. theotherstark

    pomegranate / 3045 posts

    @MrsMcD: Ha me too. It's so hard because so many of the symptoms are the same. BUT, if this is different from other cycles, then hopefully that is a very good thing! Keeping my fingers crossed for your .

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @theotherstark: Thanks. Fingers crossed for you, too! Are you in a TWW?

  35. theotherstark

    pomegranate / 3045 posts

    @MrsMcD: Nope, not yet Just waiting to O! I feel like all I do while TTC is wait. Haha. And I'm impatient.

    @theotherstark: Oh so true... Waiting, waiting and wishing your weeks away. How many cycles have you been TTC?

  37. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @MrsMcD: I know, I don't want to get my hopes up when I get a BFN. I've been mildly cramping and having a lot of pinching sensations all over the place. I def have a dull lower backache and slept by 10pm the last two nights. Ahh! I'm supposed to POAS next Monday.

  38. deactivated_account

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @snowjewelz: Oh I hope our hopes aren't up for nothing! I'm supposed to POAS on the same day! I may do it early. Or not at all... I hate POAS. Good luck!

  39. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @MrsMcD: I might not, because I don't know if my cycle is regular, and I don't know when I O'd so I am not very confident at a BFP at all. I might wait till the end of next week if I can!
