@Arden: This is my first cycle. Currently CD23 and 11 DPO. Tested this AM, BFN. Testing again on Friday AM. Cycles are usually 26-28 days.

@Arden: Me too! This is our second TTC cycle but the first where we actually timed things well.

@Arden: our second cycle, too. Looks like April was a popular time to start trying!

@Arden: I'm on my first real cycle since my miscarriage, and we'd gotten pregnant on the first try... So I'm sort of on my second cycle I guess

@Arden: Cycle 3 but I don't feel like I"m a veteran yet Cycle 1 we did nothing (I was coming off bc) and my cycle was so long I think we timed BDing wrong by a whole week. Cycle 2 we used OPKs and we were SO EXCITED to get a positive you'd think it was a BFP!!! So I guess this is our 2nd cycle actually TTC vs NTNT.

Thanks ladies!
@Arden: This is our 3rd cycle. I've used OPKs since the first cycle, but our timing wasn't great either time. This is my first cycle charting/temping, so hopefully that helps!

AF has arrived, at least I was pretty much expecting her
@Adira: my next testing date will be June 18.
Hopefully PBandBaseball & I will both get BFPs since we are both on Clomid & testing date twins!

@kentuckygirl: Awww, so sorry AF showed up! Hopefully your next cycle will be better. *hug*

@kentuckygirl: Oh bummer Sorry to hear it!!
@Adira: You're such an awesome listkeeper!!
@ladyfingers: How are you feeling?
CD14 over here, eee!!! Had a great acupuncture appointment last night. After our last one in cycle 2 she said 'call me when you get AF'. Last night she said 'call me if you get AF'. Haha. Amazing how we glom onto the little things... anyway I have a good feeling about tonight's OPK, let's see how things go!
pomelo / 5331 posts
@JoJoGirl: OK, still crampy. It feels like the cramps I have a couple of days before AF and they're worse today than yesterday, but I'm 6 dpo so I'm unsure of how much is in my head and how much is true. I had a crazy sex dream last night, which is fairly uncommon, so I marked "increased sex drive" on my chart this morning lol. I do know that there have been several cycles in the past when I've convinced myself that I'm pregnant because of general achiness, so I'm trying not to read too much into that one. Just impatiently counting the days down until I can test!
GL on your OPK!!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@ladyfingers: I'm the same way. In previous cycles, I've definitely over-analyzed my symptoms and convinced myself that I was pregnant when I wasn't. I'm trying to ignore any symptoms I notice now, especially since our timing was so poor. But it's HARD to just wait out the TWW without getting our hopes up! Good luck to you!
@JoJoGirl: haha, it's funny the things we notice and latch on to! I hope your acupuncturist is right about it being an "IF" AF shows up and not a "when"!

@kentuckygirl: What a bummer! Hopefully next cycle + Clomid will be your lucky charm.
@JoJoGirl: I like her positive thinking!
clementine / 861 posts
@kentuckygirl: That would be awesome if we both got our BFPs on the same day!!
@JoJoGirl: I think it's so cute that she said "if" instead of "when". Hopefully you won't need to call her.
@ladyfingers: @Adira: I agree about reading into symptoms. For the past couple of cycles I have convinced myself that I was pregnant and then been so upset when AF shows. I wish there was some way to fast forward through the TWW!
I took my first Clomid pill last night. I don't feel terrible this morning, I was a little hot on the drive to work but that's about it.

@ladyfingers: @Adira: @PBandBaseball: I totally can commiserate on dwelling the preggo symptoms during the TWW. Doesn't help when you test and they're all BFN! Boo! Here's to hoping we all see a BFP this month!!
cantaloupe / 6206 posts
I've been the WORST at symptom-spotting during my first two TWWs. I really need to find a way to keep it under control this time!
pear / 1786 posts
@ladyfingers, @Smurfette, @JoJoGirl and @Adria: Thanks for commiserating with me! Hope you have better luck this month than I did.
@PBandBaseball: Thanks and it would be fabulous to both get BFPs the same day, especially for you after trying for a while! Best wishes! During my first Clomid cycle last month, I felt a little bloated and definitely had some hot flashes but it wasn't too bad. I hope you don't suffer too many side effects.

@kentuckygirl I'm sorry, I hope next month is your month!!
I put my temp into FF today (dropped .3 from yesterday) and it moved my O date up a day. SO SO SO annoying to think I was at 4 DPO only to have repeat 3DPO I don't know why but this really upset me and I started crying and am convinced I am not preggo...Ugh, this TWW is awful and it's still SO far away before I can test (if I even make it to my test date without getting AF, which I'm not optimistic about since the past two cycles, AF has come a few days earlier than predicted.) Boo. Boo. Boo. Boo.

@Trailmix: I am sorry!! This whole process just stinks. Not fun at all like I thought it would be.
grapefruit / 4703 posts
@Trailmix: Aww how annoying! Try not to read too much into it though - maybe your temp yesterday (or today) was off a bit from something you did differently (different time? got up to pee? extra covers on the bed?) Either way, you're still in it

@Trailmix: Are the lines crosshatched? If so, its a guess so it could be wrong...
I'm 11dpo today and am feeling nauseous at the moment I've been feeling it off and on for a few days, but mostly in the afternoon (its morning now though). Trying to convince myself its too early to test. I asked Google about the stats and it said that 75% of tests on 11dpo were accurately positive...
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@Trailmix: Sorry to hear all frustration that comes with this baby making business! We're right there with ya!
@Mrs.Someone: 11 DPO is a pretty good number! Do you plan on testing sooner than this Sunday??

@Mrs.Someone: It's SOOOO WEIRD that we're at the exact same dpo with the EXACT same symptoms!!!
I actually woke up last nite and made a beeline to the bathroom..it was all dry heaves tho, but it still sucked!
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Trailmix: Ugh, I'm so sorry!! That sucks wicked bad! I hate it when FF has to update our cross-hairs. It totally messes me up. *hug*

@Alivoo01 - AF is actually due on Monday (I O'd a few days late due to a cold). The official plan is not to test until at least then, but I have some cheap tests so who knows what I'll really do!
@Beetones - Yuck! Luckily I haven't had any sort of heaving. I had some sharp-ish cramping on 8dpo, you?
I could use some opinions. I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. I don't think there are any x-rays needed this time, but I'm wondering if I should say something if they do need some. Or just make sure I'm well covered? I'd feel silly saying that its a possibility if I'm not sure...

@Mrs.Someone: Dude, This is tooooooo weird, I had the sharp pains in my ovary area from about 7dpo to 9dpo off and on.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@Mrs.Someone: I would probably just cover up. I don't think you have to worry too much though.
pomelo / 5228 posts
@Beetones - yep, thats where mine was too! Hopefully this is good news for both of us
@Adria - thanks That was my instinct, especially since I'll be back in 6mo and will have to update!

@Mrs.Someone: I hope so too, especially since i'm off to mexico this wknd..... I really don't want to pack tampons
pomelo / 5228 posts
@Beetones - yuck, I don't blame you! I think thats a good enough reason to test before you leave though, let us know how it goes if you do
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
@Beetones: dry heaving? ack! no bueno! Hopefully it means BFP!
@Mrs.Someone: I think you're fine if you covered up well.
