Hi all
Been lurking here for a while keeping my fingers crossed for you all so thought i'd say hi. Can't believe there aren't anymore bfp's yet come on girls - gives me hope to watch it happening although i feel like i'm stalking you all (find the time between o and af really boring).
Although think i'm coming out in smypathy with a few of you - i keep feeling so tired and crabby and slightly sick at times plus i keep getting this weird metallic taste in my mouth. Can't decide if i'm coming down with something (one of my sons had a bug a week or so ago) or if its hormonal as my cycle has been really weird this month. Keep wondering if maybe i am pregnant (we did have a whoopsie moment but thought it was too far away from o to catch :oops:) but need to get a grip !!!!!!!
Hi Mrs P! How far away from o was it? That metallic taste is a pretty classic symptom. Welcome!
It is 73 degrees in my house. I have all the fans on. And I am burning up! Must have had a little progesterone surge last night. I'm still having o type pains, mainly on my left side, and sometimes they are quite sharp, but that feeling of pressure on that side is constant -- maybe from the soy? Trying not to focus on every little twinge.. I'm only 5 dpo so it makes me feel like I'm obsessing in a crazy way lol.
Yep I second that. I had a metallic taste in my mouth on some of my pregnancies before. Fingers crossed it is a good sign for you Mrs_PQuote:

Hi Shellbelle
I think its too far away for be possible we dtd on sunday night but i didn't get my opk+ til friday night - think i o'd sat night so 7 days longer than i think possible. But has been a weird cycle i did ask if anyone else had experienced similar in another thread. Mon morning i had this weird taste in my mouth which has been there on and off since. Occassionally i keep feeling sicky but then it goes. I had period type pains wed (yesterday) morning and lots of cm so thought maybe i got my o date wrong and got a opk+ then and at lunch time but had gone by pm. Had a few more cramping pains today on and off but not as bad.
Don't really think i could be preggo as i wouldn't have symptoms so soon am only 5 days past when i think i o'd, also didn't have any symptoms with my other three until i got a bfp (although i knew with ds3 the minute i saw the opk+ the day after we dtd i'd be pregnant (first try) although as we were getting married 3 days after af was due i wasn't really that focused on what might be) and never had the funny taste thing before. Really strange though tastes metallically and keeps making me feel thirsty even though i'm not. I turn 30 in a month so i think i'm just getting old LOL.
Sounds like you've def got some hormonal things going on though hope you get your bfp i've been watching your attempt (not in some crazy way though!) fingers crossed for you we could do with a few bfp's around here
Good morning ladies!!!
Did my daily test...LOL...and a BFN...although there was an evap line this time...the first time I've ever seen one in person and I freaked out thinking it was positive. Then I pulled the test apart and it was obvious what it was. :(
Oh well...it is only 8dpo (according to one of the systems I'm going by, LOL) so I'll continue my testing :)
Welcome Mrs. P! Hope you're here for good and that your BFP is right around the corner!! :)
Where is everyone at for dpo?
I'm at 12

Hey Callmecrazy! :)
I'm either 8, 9 or 10 dpo...depending on which system I'm using I go by.
Mrs P fx for you. Are you temping? That is the only way I know for sure when I o. I'm so glad I am this month, because if I just went by the opks id be going crazy thinking I was late but getting bfns.
Meadin, I got one last month, too, on a blue dye test. And within the read time! I tore apart and held it up to the light before I was sure what it was. Such a let down.
Kim, 5dpo here. When are you testing?
no not this time i tried it my little man last time. I got an opk+ on the usual day but i got a temp drop the day before (neg opk) and four days later neither of which seem to fit with o so didn't bother this time, that and i'd lent my thermometer to a friend whose son was ill and with my littlest i never seem to have a chunk of sleep anyway at the moment he keeps waking up about 2 or 3ish so never asleep that long before i get up
I think the question is more, when am I not testing??? I ran out yesterday. Lol. All neg so far.

Shellbelle let me tell you it is SO hard trying not to focus on how your body feels. Especially when it normally (as in if we were not ttc) doesn't feel that way. Why is it that our bodies start freaking out and mimicking pregnancy symptoms ONLY when we are ttc? GRRRR!Quote:

Ok ladies so what just happened to me makes me really want to test but I am holding out!
In our area they have it pretty chilly. I decided to eat lunch outside with my co worker because I wanted to thaw out. I ate my lunch and let me tell you...I felt so dizzy and hot. Now granted it is HOT outside but we were in the shade and I am typically cold by nature. I just felt like the energy had been drained from my body and I felt my head start pounding....it was just a super unwell feeling. (Much like I felt when I was pregnant with my son). But again...not getting my hopes up.
This time from ovulation the whole way through but on ds2 I think I started cramping about 7-8 dpo. I wasn't tracking back the as I am embarrassed to admit until a couple of months ago I knew nothing about ovulation, luteal phases etc and I am 31.:oops:Quote:

Temps down today :(
So again, all the things that i put down to possibly pregnancy symptoms were fake!
Good luck to everyone still here - we had better get some more BFP's!!!
:luck:
The way our bodies trick us is so frustrating, Lassie. Wishing you a successful next month!
Nothing to be embarrassed about Lucky! Many women don't ever HAVE to learn about that kind of stuff. The only reason I know so much is because of IF treatments and such. I'm 31 too by the way :highfive: I remember with my first I only cramped for one day. Praying I am repeating the same trend here...Come on BFP!
Lassie I really hope it is a fluke! If not, then Yay for a fresh new cycle. Gotta make lemonade right?Quote:

P4P hoping your bfp is on its way and you won't have too much cramping.
Thanks girls, you always make me smile.
Yes, here's to next month, hopefully soy will do the trick!
Dh sent me this picture this morning, it helped make me smile Attachment 3690

Aww...sounds like you have a great DH, Lassie :) That is so sweet!!
Do evap lines show up when you invert the color?

I don't know. I had one for the first time ever today. I pulled the test apart and I could tell that was what it was. :(
I would totally try though, CMC!! What do you have to lose?
Well it was a test I took earlier today and left on the bathroom counter. Came back and it was there. It does show up when inverted. Guess I will have to see tomorrow AM

YAY!!! Sounds like the start of something good! Hope tomorrow is a BLATANT, BIG, FAT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE!!
Hope this is it CMC!!!!
Do a frer tomorrow morning.
So exciting :cheer:

So. I feel like a total IDIOT.
I've been using natural progesterone cream...not for my luteal phase, but because my hair had been falling out. Not male pattern baldness or anything, just noticing it in the shower a lot...def a lot more than when I'm using the cream. So I asked my doctor if I could use it and he said fine. (I also took progesterone supplements after I got pregnant with my boys because I was low, so I thought this would probably help with that, too.) Anyway, I think he thinks I'm crazy - I don't think he thinks it's going to do much anyway, so he said it was okay.
Having said all that, for the last 3 months, I've been using the cream in my luteal phase. No problems. Then this month I switched my brand name.
I think all the symptoms I'm experiencing are from the stupid cream. I'm tired, frequent urination, diarrhea, cramping, increased BBT, vivid dreams...all from the cream. UGH. I feel like such a dummy and so disappointed. But I still don't understand the dark pink d/c I had that night and the next morning on CD4 & 5.
I guess there's still hope, but I'm afraid my symptoms don't count for anything. :(
Callmecrazy, when I tested at 9 dpo in the evening, I took the test, and forgot about it, and checked later and it was the faintest second line, I was so sure it was an evap because it was a blue dye test. Took a FRER next day and it was pos :) so fingers crossed!!!
Thanks for your post! The test I used was the pink dye, I'm hoping that means it's not evap.Quote:

Please don't feel like an idiot - you are NOT an idiot, we ALL think the best of any symptom and with hope and anticipation put it down to pregnancy...at least you can put it down to it being the cream, rather then just imagination!
Chin up - don't feel silly - coz you are not!
And hey - you might very well still get that BFP! :fx:
Oh beadin please don't feel silly :hug2: are you sure all the symptoms are a result of the cream did you get anything similar last time? I know its hard not to get your hopes up but you never know a bfp may just surprise you.
When is af due?
And if not at least you'll get to join the August 2WW thread, i really quite like these its a really nice way to get to know everyone and make the time pass plus i feel like everyone else is as crazy as me so am free to obsess all i like :happy:
Oh, Beadin, you're not an idiot. Do you think the brand change is responsible for everything? My fingers are still crossed for you
CMC did you test again? Cant wait to hear!
How is everyone doing today?
6dpo here, and my temp went up a little again. That's all so far today.
Beadin - are you taking your temps? You know it is killing me that I can't see your chart.....LOL!!!!!!!
Still no news from anyone come on girls......
update from me - still got weird metally taste, feel thirsty when not, slightly sick at times and boobs feel strange today?????
But then again not last month, the one before i had a similar thing, period 4 days late and lots of cramping and spotting for a week before af and BFN although that was before i'd found this brill site so wasn't swaying. Not that we have this time was planning to try next month once i'd got all sorted for my sway so this is a sort of whoops moment.
Prob doesn't bode too well for me if i am because i haven't been swaying yet and have worst life style ever.... Really rough time at home - poorly kids with one thing or another, working part time and had lots of stress with my job potentially changing, up til all hours with uni work (i do open uni) for my exams and on top of that was not sleeping as ds3 keeps waking me up at 2 every morning so tired and very stressed. On top of all of that pretty much been addicted to chocolate digestives and diet coke (for the sugar to keep me awake) really bad diet and over weight. Also did not do fr or abstrain and dtd 6 to 7 days before suspected o (boy zone) amazed if i've gotten pg at all and prob 0 chance of my dd if i have sorry to vent
