July 2WW

[suregena]

I hope I get a bfp! :fx:

I don't like seeing ANYONE get a bfn, though!

[fish2012]

hey all

seriously someone must have managed it this month..........my diet resolve is fading fast......

:fx: for everyone whose still waiting is that three of us? or are you out now shellbelle - hope not x

[Shellbelle]

I'm not out till af starts full force. Had some red streaked cm a little while ago and it's too early for that... I usually just have that light brown cm until late on 11dpo, when it gets to be more like real spotting. I hope this doesn't mean my lp has gotten even shorter. Af usually waits till the evening on 12dpo to suddenly start flowing heavily.

So I'm not totally out yet, but it doesn't look promising. I feel really crummy today and am so down.

[Mrs_P]

i tested again bfn earlier and still got period type pains 11dpo but still no af - think i'm probout though with bfn this late

[ynwa]

I am still here at 3dpo.A week until I will start to test:.)

[The Anchor]

ynwa, I am 4 dpo...can we really start testing in a week???

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I always tested around 8 or 9 dpo. My last pregnancy I got a + 8 dpo. I couldn't believe it.

[ynwa]

anchor yes will be using a frer,Exciting times.:.)
I think frer says you can test from 6 days before af is due,so that would mean testing from 29th,argh that's 5 days time:.)

[Mrs_P]

hi three men and a lady am really hoping to follow in your foot steps soon would so love a daughter. any advice on what you did differntly when you caught with her

[suregena]

I'm also 3dpo.

[ynwa]

Great suregena when will you test?

[ynwa]

3 men was it ds or dd your + 8 dpo?

[Butterfly Spirit]

Great suregena when will you test?

I'm LOVING her chart!!!! :D

[Shellbelle]

Still very very light, off-and-on spotting (not enough to even get on a liner) and some cramping --but only on my left side??? That's not normal for me at all. If its af my temp should fall tomorrow.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Mrs P the only thing I did differently was drink a TON of cl and ate Craisins like they were going out of style. I'm pretty sure my dh and I dtd for a few days before O and on O day. I also think I was drinking the night she was conceived. I thought for sure I was in a "girl pattern" after that and dtd on O day again and got ds 3. I also thought the earlier you got a + test the more likely you were to be having a girl. My little guy proved me wrong once again with a + test 8 dpo.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I got a + with my ds 8 dpo. I think it was 9 for dd. I use a Clearblue fertility monitor and always had pretty good luck with pinpointing my o. And I got a + with an Answer brand before Frer. It was strange.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Good luck Shellbelle. I think this is VERY promising.

[fish2012]

I'm not out till af starts full force. Had some red streaked cm a little while ago and it's too early for that... I usually just have that light brown cm until late on 11dpo, when it gets to be more like real spotting. I hope this doesn't mean my lp has gotten even shorter. Af usually waits till the evening on 12dpo to suddenly start flowing heavily.

So I'm not totally out yet, but it doesn't look promising. I feel really crummy today and am so down.

oh keeping fingers crossed for you have to say i'm feeling pretty down abou the wole thing too :bighug:

[fish2012]

I'm 8dpo was trying to hold out untill saturday so 11dpo day before af due.....you guys are tempting me.....my fingers are itching to do a test is there any point at 8dpo?!

:hide:

[Shellbelle]

Well... My temp is UP this morning. But I don't know if it is trustworthy, because I slept so bad last night and got up to go to the bathroom and with a teething baby, so I'm not sure I was really asleep long enough. There was no spotting or cm whatsoever on the bathroom breaks until I actually got up to test, and now it is tan again. The tests are waiting for me on the counter lol. I had to walk away.

[Shellbelle]

Fish, the earliest I've seen reports of +++ were 7dpo, but that is unusual. I never can resist though.

Hang in there! It's still early so there's lots of hope for you!

[Shellbelle]

I'm imagining I see the faintest ghost of a line on an ic. Frer still looks like a bfn. Ugh! I guess I have to wait one more day, unless af shows up a day early.

[fish2012]

yeah this month i was trying to hold out and not test till af due thought i may stay slightly saner!

sounds like you might be in with a shot! good luck x

[Shellbelle]

I think it depresses me to test so early, personally. Especially since I've never gotten a + until af was due on any test.

That said... There's definitely a line on that test. Can't tell if it has enough color but it developed within the time limit. I took a pic and I'll upload once I'm on a real computer. Could it really be a bfp if frer is still a bfn???

[Shellbelle]

3764

That IS a line. I'm just not sure if it's a "real" line, KWIM?

[NCBeachyGrl]

OMG....looks real to me! Go get a FRER or digital test!!!!!!!!

[Shellbelle]

I got a bfn on the frer. I'll do a digi tomorrow morning. Nausea is bad bad today. Thank you for looking!

Going ahead and calling it a bfp for ff. A line is a line and all that. I'll feel better if tomorrows temp is still up and I get another line on another test.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

That's a line!!! Looking forward to another poas pic! Good luck. Btw, sometimes I didn't get a + in the morning and got one later that afternoon. I got a - on a frer and + on Answer.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

That's a line!!! Looking forward to another poas pic! Good luck. Btw, sometimes I didn't get a + in the morning and got one later that afternoon. I got a - on a frer and + on Answer.

[ynwa]

Nice line shellbelle:.)

[Shellbelle]

Thanks for looking ladies! I don't know if I'll be able to pee enough to do a test this afternoon. I'm running to the bathroom every half hour to check on spotting lol.

[The Anchor]

That looks like a line to me! Way to go! I'm always so TERRIFIED of POAS, the BFNs just devastate me!

[auroara78]

Grats Shellbelle, that looks like a real line to me!!! Can't wait to confirm it with a FRER later....

and surgena your chart is lookin awesome this time!! big FX!!

[Mrs_P]

Hi Shellbelle

congrats def a line there. Keeping a close on you hun as we are the same dpo i think 11dpo today. Still no sign of af for me although had really bad cramps in the night last night but not turned into anything. Still got strange metally taste worse than ever today feeling so tired and off food a little slightly sick at times. I normally only have a 10 day luteal phase but still getting a complete BFN am getting really annoyed now as i just want to know (we were mean't to start our sway this month so baby is a whoopsie if i am pg)

three men and a lady thanks for the advice did you try the crystal light with your latest little son or was that only with your daughter. love the name by the way - i really liked that film when i was younger

hows everyone else in cyber space holding out

[Shellbelle]

Fx for you Mrs P!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I'm back in the 2WW! It is like I never left. LOL! Going by instinct, I O'd late last night or early AM today. Not even 1 DPO yet...we'll see what FF gives me in a few days. I'm going to try to ignore the tests in my bathroom drawer until next weekend.

Come on BFPs!

:agree:...bring it on!

[Mrs_P]

Welcome back NC you never know July could be your month after all.

Feels a bit like we are contestants in a very strange game show moving into the hot seat waiting to see if were through to the next round or back to the beginning again LOL

[fish2012]

shellbelle yeahy so please for you thats looking really hopefull :cheer:

i gave in and tested and got a bfn....i don't know if i can face another month but can i say goodbye to the girl baby dream :sad:

[Callmecrazy]

Congrats Shellbelle!! So excited for you!

[Shellbelle]

Thanks, ladies! I won't be able to relax until I get a 2nd bfp. Praying that these elevated temps mean its the real deal and that it's a sticky little bean! I have had spotting/bleeding after a bfp before but never at the stage where it could still be from implantation.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Shellbelle, you have a good line there..and it's PINK! :) I can't wait for an update.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Every time I turn around one of you ladies are back in the 2WW again, time is just FLYING! :D

I wish you nothing but :luck: and :HH:

[Lassie1982]

Congrats Shellbell!!! *cheer*

[suregena]

I'm 5dpo and thankfully not even thinking about it! My son was taken by ambulance then admitted for observation yesterday so that was stressful... but he's okay. They were concerned about low sats/oxygen. He was sent home with an inhaler to use this week and hopefully hell be good as new before we leave for Berlin next Wednesday, poor bug.

I'll be testing before I leave... I have two tests so I'll use them before I go and then wait to test again if AF doesn't show while I'm in Germany! :P

[NCBeachyGrl]

So sorry to hear about your son Suregena. That sounds soooo scary! I don't do well when my kids get minor injuries, so I can only image what you were going through. Glad all is better now and hopefully your 2WW will fly by!

I put in some fake temps for tomorrow and the next day in FF and it gave me my crosshair and agreed that I O'd yesterday. So, I'm just gonna leave it as is for now and try not to think about the 2WW either! At least tomorrow is Friday and that seems to help take my mind off of things. The kids are both in a preschool camp this week and I might sneak out of work at 11 and go sit by the pool for an hour and relax.

Shellbelle - what's the word? Did you get a + on FRER or any other test?

[Shellbelle]

Suregena, that is so scary! I hope he feels better soon!

NC, temps are still up but bfn on cbe digital. I don't know what to think. AF is due today.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Oh no! Maybe the other test was a fluke or you caught an early chemical. I'm sorry!!!!

[Shellbelle]

NC, that's what I'm thinking. I feel like af is on the way now. :( I guess it's on to next month.

[Chessika]

Oh well, BFN here too. Waiting that the spotting turns into AF. I was not really good food wise the last two weeks (my son had his birthday party, chesse pizza, cakes, ...). So I hope being back on the diet the next two weeks will be enough.

[Shellbelle]

Well now the spotting seems to have stopped and I got a faint faint bfp on a CVS test with diluted pee. So I'm still in limbo. I can't get excited yet, especially after the bfn with fmu.

[Praying4Pink]

Hey Shellbelle! I haven't been on much because I have been crazy with getting everything lined up for our move next month. I missed so much. :pray: for your BFP!!! Come on sticky bean...STICK!

[The Anchor]

Well now the spotting seems to have stopped and I got a faint faint bfp on a CVS test with diluted pee. So I'm still in limbo. I can't get excited yet, especially after the bfn with fmu.

I'm stalking...but wanted to say Wow...what a roller coaster for you! That's why I can't bring myself to POAS! Got my :fingers: for you...

[Shellbelle]

Thank you! I have been in tears all morning, over every little thing. Hormones and stress, I guess. We are on the road today and have a lot going on family-wise, so I will try and update when I can. Thank you again!

[Shellbelle]

Thanks, the Anchor! Words can't describe what your support and encouragement means to me, Ladies. I'm crying again lol.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Did you use a digital today? From my owe experience, every time I used an Answer or Frer I got a + but it took a while for a digital to say pregnant. Good luck...I've been stalking!!!

[Shellbelle]

Yes, digi with fmu today. I guess I'll have to get some more frers.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Great idea. I hope we get to see some more + sticks today!!!

[Mrs_P]

Hi Suregena really sorry to hear about your son, glad he's ok though. I've had a couple of scares with my sons and came very close to loosing one of them. Worst moments of my life. Makes you sooooo grateful for what you have though doesn't it. Big hugs hun hope you are ok :hug2:

Shellbelle sorry your so up in the air, if its any consolation so am i, 12dpo today still occasionally some cramping but seems to have gone now. No sign of af but am sick of BFN's so not tested today and still in limbo. Funny to think were still waiting and NC has been gone and come back - how are you doing by the way NC July could still be your month after all

[NCBeachyGrl]

LOL Mrs. P! My cycles have gotten kind of short - 25 to 26 days since taking the vitex and SP so they come around faster.

I am doing well. I ran out to the pool for an hour while the kids were in preschool and it was too hot to enjoy it!! My plan is to try and stay as busy as possible during this 2 WW to keep my mind of off the wait and testing. I do have a headache today so that is not fun!!!!

I really hope we get some more BFPs. It really has been so slow for us gals to get pregnant!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Cd 7 for me. No idea when I will O. Got a high on my cbe monitor this morning...and very confused. I hope my cycles are 25-28 days. I want to be in the 2ww...boohoo...I'm cyber sulking!!!

[Mrs_P]

I'm cyber sulking!!!

:rofl: we should so have a little smiley man thingy for that

No idea what my cycle is i checked and over past year has been anything from 22 to 29 days at extreme ends when they intially came back after breastfeeding. Normally? 25 days maybe 26 its day 27 today

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Crazy cycles sway pink, I think. lol

[Praying4Pink]

I will probably end up getting the digi OPK this month just because those dang IC's messed me up last month. I may start on CD 8 with the IC's and then on CD 10 go digital. This month I am also going to do the SMEP full on. I typically do EOD until I get a -OPK. Once it turns from + to - then I do an additional day and stop. This time I am doing EOD until I get a + then do that night, the next night, skip a night then do the following night. Nothing else in the plan for me except skipping breakfast to keep blood levels low.

What's everyone else's plan? Anyone doing any modifications to help up the chances?

[Lassie1982]

Pfp - I've cut out all sway aspects expect diet, so there is not much else I can do to increase my chances...
Taking soy this month as well.
I should ov on cd 13-15, though I don't know how soy will affect it. Will start opks on cd8 I think to be safe and will probably start dtd daily from cd9 or cd10 to try and get plenty of swimmers up there.

Good luck to all!!

P4p- have been wondering same myself considering dropping FR from 10 to 7, giving up on the licorice root and vitex, anyone els have thoughts?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'm doing the diet and vitex. I may take a zyrtec 12 or more hours before my attempt. This is my 1st attempt though. How long have you been trying? I swear if I don't get pregnant by the 3rd month I'm going straight through O with nothing but my diet. I am very impatient...and 37 now.

[suregena]

6dpo. I am feeling nothing yet but probably wouldn't at this point. Can't help but worry it will be a bfn month. My husband now adamantly refuses to sway if this cycle doesn't work. :(

[ynwa]

Suregena what would be 1st signs?so far I just feel bloated and have a funny taste in my mouth for the last 2 mornings.how long have you been ttc?

[Lassie1982]

6dpo. I am feeling nothing yet but probably wouldn't at this point. Can't help but worry it will be a bfn month. My husband now adamantly refuses to sway if this cycle doesn't work. :(

:fx: hun - lets hope the soy did the trick for you!

that sucks about hubby - was he doing much? or just the FR? If its any consolation, i think the majority of the importance sits with us girls, and predominantly in the diet...so even if he stops taking supps and such you can still have a strong sway. (least thats what I'm telling myself - I'm down to diet alone, DH refused the supps and the FR after the 3rd failed months)

when do you think you will test?

[PeonyPrincess]

Yeah Suregena, don't let it get you down if DH doesn't want to sway. You can't blame them as it takes a toll on all of us when we get BFNs. I think it is great that he has been helping at all. By the time we got pg, my DH was no longer doing anything...in fact I was getting him to release every other day to try and maximise his healthy sperm (which is not girl friendly) and we still managed to get a girl sperm to win the race!

Lassie, FX the soy changes things up for you this month and you see 2 gorgeous lines.

[fish2012]

I'm doing the diet and vitex. I may take a zyrtec 12 or more hours before my attempt. This is my 1st attempt though. How long have you been trying? I swear if I don't get pregnant by the 3rd month I'm going straight through O with nothing but my diet. I am very impatient...and 37 now.

this is our second expecting a bfn thou ;-( yes been doing zyrtec, refphres, LR, SP, Vitex, FR, diet...... so next try will be thrid and i'm pretty fed up both other two were first cycle!

[fish2012]

6dpo. I am feeling nothing yet but probably wouldn't at this point. Can't help but worry it will be a bfn month. My husband now adamantly refuses to sway if this cycle doesn't work. :(

don't blame him i'm begining to feel the same too ;-0

[NCBeachyGrl]

Happy Friday everyone! We need some positive thinking on this thread!!!! Come on BFPs!!!

Anyone testing soon? I am only 2 DPO so no testing for me until next weekend.

[ynwa]

I am 6dpo when would u test?
Was thinking wed?

[suregena]

He did FR, licorice root... and we're both already vegetarian.

He won't even supported being on the diet, obviously he can't force me what to eat but it
might cause an issue...

I'll test before we leave for Berlin for our vacation... so Monday/Tuesday.

[Mrs_P]

hi ynwa

I started a funny taste in my mouth approx 3 to 4 days after o tasted almost metally, feeling tried, then sick occassionally at the thought of food nothing major, boobs have been feeling tingly for a good few days hard to remember but have been adding on here daily if you want to check. Funny taste i have been told is one of the most common signs of pregnancy????

Been getting period type pains on and off for days now keep thinking af is due but not happening. Pardon the tmi but have had cm all through since o and its still there just the same no sign of any bleeding. 13 poss 14 dpo today, period is def late, i have had a one or two long cycles of 29 days over last 15 months or so but with the last one i had 4 days of spotting before actual af so i didn't count that. cd 28 for me today cycle is usually 25 days sometimes 26 so am late by normal standards. BUT still keep getting a BFN :mad: GRRRRR. We weren't trying this month and were due to start our attempt on my next cycle (this coming one) so wish it would hurry up and happen either that or for the test to tell me i'm pregnant. I think a late bfp is a sign of a boy though so prob not good if i am

Anyone heard how shellebelle is doing after her faint positive, her and i are the same dpo i think

[NCBeachyGrl]

I am going to try to hold out until 10DPO!

[fish2012]

So i'm such a geek today!!! But temp massivly up this morning I thought it was just the heat but when i got uo its cooler today than it's been for a while, i've felt so rough i had to have a nap and i was woken up from it by a real freaky dream.................hope is up a bit after the bfn yesterday

repeat after me, i must not test, i must not test!

probably shouldn't get hopes up either ;-S

[Mrs_P]

i've been getting those really real vivd dreams. We'll all be either pregnant or insane?????

I am seriously beginning to think i am suffering from hypercondria or maybe one of those phatom pregancies dogs get. Have all of the symptoms but keep getting a BFN

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Good luck ladies. I hope to see bfp's really soon.

[Praying4Pink]

It does seem that us ladies are doing the work! I would never tell DH to do anything sway related...he would think I was crazy! I wanted to try the soy this month but I am already on cd 5. I know you can still take it days 5-9 but I read something about lining issues. Don't know if I want to risk it.

[Shellbelle]

I think atomic says something about it in the soy thread. 3-7 does seem to be the optimal time. That's my plan again this month.

AF is here full force as of this morning. I guess it was a chemical, since I got two light positives and now nothing. I'll start soy again on cd 3, but I'm not doing vitex or sp this month. I was just too worried about starting them after the positives. If we don't get a bfp this month I will start them next month. And I'm going to be more strict about diet this month. FX for those of you who are still waiting!

Oh Shellbelle hon, I am so very sorry! :HH: A chemical raises your chances to conceive a girl though, so that's the bright side of it.

[Shellbelle]

Thank you, ladies. Butterfly Spirit, I needed a silver lining so badly. Thank you. Ive been in tears all day.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Thank you, ladies. Butterfly Spirit, I needed a silver lining so badly. Thank you. Ive been in tears all day.

Nobody ever expects to have a loss, either chemical or M/C..we always think it will happen to some other woman. I had a loss at 5 weeks in April but I don't put it in my ticker because it's hard.. You are also more fertile after a loss :HH: And It is okay to cry! :hugs:

I conceived right after my loss. Didn't even get AF. :)
But I will mention that I had a VERY scary start to this pregnancy. Even bright red bleeding the first week immediately after taking progesterone. So, I don't know if it was the issue or what.

[Lassie1982]

aww so sorry shellbell :( as the others said it ok to cry, it ok to feel hurt.
Don't lose your hope though, it will happen for you you, hopefully the soy will make the next little bubba stick. *hugs*

suregena - i get what you mean, my dh is well and truly over it - he hates that i am still on the diet, he has stopped the remarks, but i know it doesn't bode well with him. He is against the soy aswell, says i should stop 'stuffing around' with my body.
I really hope this month is your month - will be looking out for your results :)
And if not,then you have a great holiday to look forward to!! And as for the continued swaying - maybe you be on soy and diet is all you need, maybe the FR combined with LR is just too much for DH and its effecting his swimmers too much..goodness knows - if only this was easier!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Shell - I am so sorry AF showed. TTC is SO hard and you just never know where the journey will take you.

I am trying to stay busy. Work today was so crazy. Glad it is the weekend and Olympics are on! I won't try to root too much for USA - don't want to raise testosterone! TMI...lots of CM this evening. I really can't remember when I have seen it like this. I hope it is a good preg sign and not a sign that I have screwed up on my diet! I really haven't eaten any different so don't think that is the case.

I am so jealous of you guys that are in the UK! I would love to be there! London is such an amazing place and I want to go back soooooo bad!

[Wishing4Pink]

I'm so sorry Shellbelle, big hugs to you.

Well i'm now in my 2nd 2ww, although not got my hopes up and already looking to the next attempt. My oh is really wanting me off this diet now and not sure how long i can get him to go along with it. He doesn''t mind what i ask him to do but hates seeing what i'm doing to myself :(

[suregena]

My temps this cycle have been so very different from the last! I had my highest temp yet this morning (hard to notice on the chart) but still nice to see a cycle that isn't so up and down. 7dpo today.

FX FX FX :HH: I'm rooting for you babe!

[suregena]

I hope so! I'd hate to have to skip a month and *also* not have a strong of a sway next time. :( My husband has really put his foot down now... he just wants a baby. I don't blame him, I do, too... but I feel like I've invested myself already!

I don't blame you! That's so sweet that he just wants that baby! AWW :)
But if you do decide to throw in the towel for now... I will remind you how wonderful two sons are!!!! ;)

[suregena]

I figure I can sneak as best as I can with no snacking, etc, next time... might even be able to skip breakfast if he doesn't force it on me! Dinner I can probably sneak in differently on nights he isn't off work, so, I might be able to make it work a little.

We'll see. We only have our one boy and I kept telling him this all is for fun, but it's fun I'd like to see through to the end... AKA a BFP! We'll see.

I really don't have very many post-ovulation symptoms this time... so I hope that's a good thing. :/ Whereas last time I did!

[suregena]

I have noticed the past couple days nursing has been a little uncomfortable, however I don't know yet if that's just how it is this part of the cycle for me or anything. It was like this last cycle, too (the one I suspect a possible chemical.)

The only nursing thing I've noticed in a normal, nonpregnant cycle is close to my period it is like nails on a chalkboard sensation, but *not* uncomfortable... just annoying... if that makes sense. More like a, "GET OFF ME! ARGH!" feeling. Haha. Right now it's just uncomfortable and achey.

I have had very mild cramping that I can feel in my upper legs at times, but not a lot... just here and there.

[ynwa]

Urge I caved and tested this am,bfn!only 7dpo so I know it's still early days.fx for some bfp really soon for us:.)

Yay Suregena! Things are looking pretty good!!!! I know what you mean about not having so many symptoms. My last cycle I had cramping so bad right from O and it lasted every day. This time I only have had headaches, CM....which is a little odd for me since last month I had none and then my face has broken out. Praying this is a good sign!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

ynwa...don't give the BFN a second thought!!!!!! Plenty of time to get that BFP!

[suregena]

Yeah, I'm not dry... just have creamyish CM nonstop.

[Praying4Pink]

[Mrs_P]

Thanks girls

Its possible i o'd later. I got a positive opk on test on friday night, then ewcm and normal o symptoms sat. It was then wed i think i started getting cramps and took opk tests and got two more positives that morn and lunch really easily even without 4hrs wait but had had funny taste and everything day before. But ewcm and others normal o symptoms were not present then plus i don't normally get any sort of pain or cramping at o. If this was the case i should have gotten af yesterday or today. If i have o'd late i could not be pregnant from that as the last time we dtd was the sunday before the friday i got my first positive (been a rough month with one thing and another). I am starting to worry as i've been under a lot of stress lately and feeling really ill and rough that maybe my periods have stopped (although i have ME so have been really really ill in past and this has never happened).

I have had (about 15 months ago after periods started again whilst bf) a 29 day cycle but o'd on cd19 so fit in with my usual 10-11 day luteal phase but normal cycle non of the silly 'symptoms' i keep getting now and had no previous opk+ before cd19 had tested every day

Not sure a BFP is possible now its been this long though

Thanks girls for your support means a lot noone i know knows we are trying (can't deal with the 'are you crazy' comments yet) so i have noone to talk to.

Thanks!!! When I saw it, I knew it was just perfect!!!

[suregena]

Two days before I O'd I had a bad 'cookie binge" at work - I am officially paranoid about that!

Oh well.

[*ruby*]

Hi Girls,

Can I join in?
Currently 9DPO and had LOTS of creamy white CM last week then cramping yesterday. I have read the creamy CM can be a good sign anyone have any experiences? I got a BFN this morning but still plenty of time.

Suregena - I hear you on the cookie binge, the chocolates at work get me every time! Although I do try to have them at meal time so they're not officially a "snack" does that make it any better? LOL

[suregena]

I had a massive temp drop today--I hope that's an implantation dip and not something else.

I also have a headache and I feel queasy, and the queasiness might just be due to the headache.

[ynwa]

Hi ruby there are a few of us on 8-9 dpo,good luck fx:.)

[NCBeachyGrl]

Cookie binge is so much better than a meat binge or something with lots of protein!!

[suregena]

Oh man, feel sooo sick today. Argh. Like throw-up sick...

Now I'm nervous about flying on Wednesday! If I am pregnant, am I going to be totally miserable? Will it be safe? I bought some seabands, etc, in case... but oy vey. Why do I feel so nauseated today?

[NCBeachyGrl]

Suregena - I am really hoping you are are pg!!!!!!! When are you going to test?

[suregena]

Right before I leave... probably Tuesday/Wednesday morning (we're leaving 5am Wednesday!)

[NCBeachyGrl]

I can't wait!!!

[fish2012]

suregena good luck! you'll be fine flying at this early stage and it would be lovely to go away with such a lovely secret to share with DH (and us of course;-)

Good luck to all still in :luck:

AF arrived today my pregnacy sympotoms are in fact i think mild food posioning so spent all day in bed feeling ill with nothing to show for it ;-( in the nicest of possiable ways hope to see you very few of you in august 2ww

[Mrs_P]

hi Ruby

fingers crossed for you, i've had cm ever since o this time (not normal for me).

Still on the fence here although pretty sure not pregnant. cd30 for me today, still really emotional and getting mild cramping but feel like af is coming now (5 days late) had some brown bloody cm (sorry tmi) this afternoon so think thats it for me this month although no idea where all of the strange symptoms i've had for last 2 weeks plus have come from, unless i have been pg but its not stuck (i've only used clear blue digi tests and have all been BFN though)

on the positive side if af is coming it means it will be the month number 1 for our attempt. I haven't started the diet yet and have a lot of weight to loose (am about a uk 16-18) and could do with being a 12-14 so have got 2 dress sizes to loose. Will our sway work if i start cutting back now or do i need to wait another month (were trying to plan this pg so we avoid the months our sons have birthdays in rather than them having to share their special day with the newcomer for years lol and have kids born jan, june and aug so will have to skip sept, nov and dec). My problem tends to be i eat a lot of rubbish which i can cut out but generally eat no breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and proper tea but am veggie anyway so can just cut down on my tea portion.

[Chessika]

AF arrived today. So on into August. Wishing everybody good luck! :luck:

[*ruby*]

Good luck for next month Chessika and fish

Mrs P - I didn't get a BFP with DS1 until AF was 7 days late, so you could still be in for a shot. I always find I can loose or at least maintain quite easily by skipping breakfast and eating a sensible lunch and dinner with no snacks in between. Were you veggie when you TTC your boys? As for how long to be on the diet I suppose it depends how strict a sway you want to do, I would prob just go super super strict now and TTC next month (if you're not already pregnant that is), but I guess it depends how much of a rush you are in.

Hope this is it suregena!

AFM - I think I "may' see the faintest hint of a second line on a test I did this afternoon. As in so faint I can only see it on a certain angle in certain light LOL. Will test again in the morning and see.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Best of luck next month Chessika and Fish! You guys can do it!! :)
August BFPS!

Mrs. P, you're still in hon, and Surgena :HH: I REALLY HOPE THIS IS IT BABE! :) Watch for IB!!!!

[sosapop]

I am still waiting in this 2WW - going CRAZY!!! I am spotting, but more like streaking little brownish marks, breasts feel like they are tingling (usually how they would feel when I was breastfeeding & they get hard), short of breath, and I am sometimes bloated. Hope this all means something and my body isn't just acting screwy!!! I took a test and BFN, but it's still early. Going to try first response test because apparently it can detect 6 days before AF, so...? FXX for everyone who is still waiting!
