@Trailmix: I have been having major gas for like a week now.

@Trailmix: Oh my gosh, I am sooooooo thankful for HB!!! Being able to talk to other people about what they are going through and what they are experiencing is soooooo helpful! And can be distracting!! So nice!
@birdsofafeather: @Trailmix: As far as the Creamy CM - I wouldn't put too much weight into it if you can help it. I always have creamy CM during my TWW and it just seems to get more and more creamy throughout the two weeks until it suddenly dries up an AF shows up. So for me, the creamy CM doesn't mean anything!

@Trailmix: That's so funny about opening FF and just staring at your chart because I've been doing the same thing! As if for some magical reason the data will reveal something different when I haven't inputted anything since this morning!

Ok I am apparently insane. This morning I said I was 6 dpo then corrected myself, and then I realized that 6 was actually right!!! I feel like I lost a day. Lol. Stupid TWW.

@Trailmix: @birdofafeather: creamy CM and gas can be symptoms?!? I had no idea. I've had both for the last week! It may have been better that I didn't know this though. haha.

@Trailmix: @Adira: Yeah, I had loosely tracked CM for my previous 6 cycles and I was always dry a couple days after O until AF. It was definitely different from the norm. Other than that, everything was the same.

Well guys, 10dpo FMU = bfn. Now I see why some of you gals wit til you miss your period. I'm feeling let down and it's only cycle 2! Of course right after the test I went to the gym and as soon as I said "okay now way i'm getting a bfp", the symptom spotting went into overdrive. Blah!

Ugh, I'm out
I started spotting this morning and my temps have dropped every day for the last three days. So bummed, more so about the fact that my LP was only 8 days again, I was REALLY hoping that the first cycle was just a fluke because it was my first one off of BC but now I'm really worried that I might have an LP defect...
Siiiigh...Had a big cry over it, now trying to look to the next cycle....This sucks

@Trailmix: I'm so sorry. Is there no chance that the spotting is just from implantation?

@Trailmix: I'm sorry that you're out. Hopefully your LP lengthens next cycle. Maybe the BC is still working its way out of your system?

Thanks, you guys, you are all so sweet...I'm just mentally freaking out about the short LP, I don't know if it's still the BC or not but I just called my gyn/ob and left a message to see if he recommends that I start a B6 supplement, which sometimes helps lengthen the LP...
@sslm I suppose there's always that chance but I'm pretty doubtful...Ironically, I tested this morning before the spotting started and it was BFN
@jojoggirl Based on my first cycle, AF is due in full tomorrow but I was praying it wouldn't come until Saturday or Sunday so that my luteal phase would be longer...
Again, you guys are so awesome. I had no idea the process of trying to get pregnant would be so emotional or difficult, it's sort of hit me like a ton of bricks, ya know? Don't think I was really prepared for how much this would all affect me...
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Trailmix: Oh boo, I'm so sorry to hear that!!! My LP was short my first cycle off BC and then it lengthened, so hopefully yours gets longer too.

@Trailmix: sorry to hear that you're out! If Aunt Flo isn't due till tomorrow, then there's still a chance. Like @sslm said, the spotting could be from implantation?? Let us know for sure!

hi ladies can i join super late? I rarely post on hellobee but I am feeling a little different during this tww and wondering if it might be the one........! im at 7dpo and it feels like the days are going sooooo slowly. my husband keeps saying "take a test!"... he doesn't really understand how they work and the fact that this early it would just be a waste of a good test. haha.
good luck to all of you!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@charlotte: Welcome!!! How long does your LP usually last? Do you know when you want to POAS? It's funny how some men really don't have a clue. My husband is off in la-la land when I'm in the TWW and he has no clue what's going on with my body, haha. How long have you guys been trying? Good luck to you!

@Trailmix: Oh no!! I"m sorry about AF. When I first got off BC, my periods were CRAZY. I think my first and second month off BC, I was getting AF every two weeks. Now, after 6 months, my cycles are averaging at 15 days. Yes, TTC is def. an emotional roller coaster. Thank goodness for these threads

Well I got my CD20 / 7 dpo blood draw. OMG it was like pulling teeth. The tests were entered into the computer system wrong, and I had to discuss my cycle with the lab tech and my gyn's nurse (blogged all the details)
I'll be stalking my online health records for the results!!

Thanks Adira!
We've been off bc for about a year but not really trying officially until the last couple months.
LP is usually about 13 days...probably will test Sunday?? We are still new to the game but have tested probably 7 out of the last 12 months during the post-bc craziness.
We aren't too stressed about it yet but it is personally stressful to ME to try to do everything right during the tww. like anyone, the not knowing drives me crazy. its sooo nice to have people to wait with since DH is probably sick of talking about it and we dont want our families to know right now (they are dyyyyyying for a grandchild and im not ready for the stress of being obsessed over).
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@charlotte: Mmm, I know what you mean. I refuse to tell any family anything until we're actually pregnant! They're already bugging us to have kids and if they knew we were trying, they would bug us even more!
Wishing you lots of luck!

@Trailmix: Aww, I'm so sorry AF showed.
@JoJoGirl: Well, here we don't consider you out until AF shows. If you check out the 'when did you get your BFP' thread, some people got BFN up until 11 DPO then BFP 12 DPO. Then others had to wait til AF was late. So you might stil have a chance.
@charlotte: Welcome! Sure you can join!
@MrsLilybugg: Oh, yeah, the test results waiting game. I thought TWW was bad. Waiting for test results might be even worse. I'm waiting for DH's SA results. I ask him everyday if he has heard anything. I'm tempted to call them myself and ask! Haha. DH doesn't even know how they will tell him his results. Mail? Phone call? Email? He doesn't know because he didn't ask! Men, they don't really care about the details. DH did ask how long to get the results and they said 7-10 days. Today will be day 10. I'm trying to be patient.

@bluestriped bee: THANKS for that! I was all pity-party for one over here. Good to know the 'rules' plus, god damn my boobs ARE SORE today, I'm not imagining it.
cantaloupe / 6206 posts
@sslm: What is wrong with me it's cycle 2, 10dpo and i was already like, tearing up this morning? It's way too early to be this invested. Grr. Thanks though
pear / 1650 posts
@bluestriped bee: oh goodness!! So any minute they can call him up and tell him the results. Talk about nerve- wracking!!! Keep us posted!!

Well as odd as this will look to some on a thread like this, I am beyond excited to announce that after a 36 day cycle AF has finally arrived!!!!!!!
I am now able to start a new cycle and move on!
I've never had a cycle that long and was desperate to regulate some and I got that little surprise this A.M.
Yay! lol
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
@Crisark: Glad you are able to move forward. It's weird to say this but, yay for AF!
pomegranate / 3398 posts
@bluestriped bee: LOL I went and woke DH up to tell him because I was so excited hahahaha. So, yes, it's a very good yay to be able to move forward!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Crisark: Yay!!! It's about time!!!! Hopefully this next cycle is more regular and doesn't annoy you nearly as much!
pomegranate / 3398 posts
@Adira: lol At least this next time if I don't get pregnant I'll have a better idea that my cycle could be longer.
Should alleviate a lot of the extra stress.
cantaloupe / 6206 posts
@Crisark: Yay!! My first cycle off bc was 37 days so I feel you with how frustrating that is. SO glad it came!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Crisark: haha, yeah! At least now you know! Do you remember if your cycles were long before BC?
pomegranate / 3398 posts
@JoJoGirl: This was my second cycle since Mirena removal. The first one was 28 days on the nose and then this one was 36. I feel better now that I've at least had 2 in a row.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Crisark: Ahh, well hopefully you're just regulating and you'll be back to normal soon!
