Hellobee Boards

@GreenThumb: Yes! I've only done one cycle so far, but I was CONVINCED I was pregnant. I even changed my eating habits and cut out coffee (which gave me a massive headache, haha). And then AF showed up! I'm going to try to be a little less obsessive this time around.

@GreenThumb: Thank you. I'm with you and @Adira: I'm going to try to resist testing before AF is due. I was convinced I was pregnant last month. I had a big wake up call last month when AF showed up. I don't want to put myself through that again.

@Adira: So sorry AF showed up!!

I'm back guys. Thanks so much for understanding my craziness. Now I really realize that testing too early is such a bad idea. I tested again on Saturday (~9DPO) because I was going out with friends, it was negative, I had a couple of glasses of wine and it felt nice.

My new plan is not to test until AF is late. It's just too hard on me, and I figure I would rather see a solid BFP instead of squinting and taking apart tests, and convincing myself I see something.

So, next test date, Saturday! 16 DPO.

@sslm: you really shouldn't feel foolish at all. if I got a hint of a line i would have been all over here posting, and super excited - even if I was 5 dpo!

I'm not feeling hopeful this month. My OPK's were messed up - i didn't go out and buy more because I'm goign to call to complain & have them send me new ones - those digital smiley tests are EXPENSIVE, so I didn't get my SMILEY this month. Right around expected O time I noticed 2-3 days of EWCM, and I had light cramping off & on - that seems to be my new thing around O time.... But, we were travelling & visiting friends, so only BD'd 2, maybe 3 times around when I thought I might be Oing.... We will see. Also - having some cramping today? So weird.

Feb 14th is literally the day AF is expected.

@GreenThumb: Yay!!!! BD B D BD!!!

Here I am on 12DPO. I still haven't tested since Saturday, yay! Actually, as AF gets closer I get more and more scared to actually test, I think it might actually be easier to deal with AF rather than a BFN.

I'm having some "symptoms" but nothing too out of the ordinary for me between O and AF. Trying not to read too much into the sore boobs and nausea, bc I feel like surely it's too soon for those to be preg symptoms?

@mrskc: I'm not sure I'm going to be strong... Haha. I'm looking at charts and so many people get BFPs at 12DPO!! Ugh.

I hope you're week goes by quick! Are you going to be busy? That usually helps

Definitely couldn't hold off... 12 DPO - BFN... but the test I bought was apparently 100 whatever units of sensitivity... so I am not super discouraged yet!!

@sslm: Do you know how long your typical LP is?

Who else is still in for mid-Feb? I'm 5 DPO and I might test on the 13th on CD 36. My last cycle was 35 days. I don't know if I can hold off though. I ordered a 50 pack of cheap pregnancy tests last week off Amazon. They should be here by Thursday.

@hilsy85: Thank you! Good luck to you as well cycle twin! I hope we both have good news on V day.

Uh oh. 50 pregnancy tests arrived in my mailbox today. Some one tell me to step away... I'm going to have to wait until Sunday or Monday.

My temp went up today, the highest it's been this TWW! I'm hoping that's a good sign

@hilsy85: i know! me too - mine also due on 14th! bummer for vday

Well, not exactly a Valentine's Day POAS, but I'm finally in the TWW! At 1DPO, I'm supposed to test on Feb 21 (14DPO). AF due on Feb 20 (13DPO). I was bummed because we skipped BD the day I got a positive OPK (2 days ago), but hopefully made up for it yesterday. We'll see...

Anyone else feel more relaxed after O? I'm feeling more excited and anxious. But before I O'd, I was so stressed. I think it's b/c I don't know my cycles very well and they've been at least 35 days long. I was taking OPKs for almost two weeks before I saw a positive, and I was worried I was never going to O. Now that I'm in the TWW, I feel like it's out of my hands. And I can relax with the BDing.

@mrskc - I feel the exact same way! TWW tests my patience, why waiting to O tests my stress levels. Now in the tww, I can finally relax a bit.

@mrskc: I actually can't decide which is worse for me...waiting to O, or the TWW. While I"m waiting to o, I'm super antsy and impatient, and like, you, I have a fear that I won't O, or we'll miss it, etc. But then in the TWW I feel like I'm over analyzing every little detail--I get so annoyed with myself, lol. I just need to learn to shut off my brain

@sslm: Doing ok. Temp still staying up. I'm am so freakin nervous though. 7 DPO today and my pregnancy tests are starting to call me. I know it's WAY too early to test, but I'm still tempted.

@sslm: for the past 3 months I've been cramping around O. I don't know why all of a sudden, but it's very noticeable!

on a side note, I would say i'm 99.99% sure I'm not preggo this month, i probably won't even POAS....there's no way, i feel 100% normal, and we didn't BD enough. oh well!

I'm starting to feel bummed out that it isn't going to happen this month. I started feeling crampy today. This exact same thing happened last month a few days before AF showed up. I'm only 7 DPO. It's too early for cramps. Looks like I might have another short LP. I won't give up all hope until AF shows up. I'm just not feeling as optimistic.
