And I'm joining you! I think you and I are on exactly the same day -- 4dpo for you, too? Right now I'm trying to just chill and not symptom spot ... that has driven me crazy this past few months. And my plan at the moment is to not test until June 1 (so, the morning of 15dpo). I made myself quite unhappy last month by testing too early, so I need to be disciplined this time around.Quote:

Yea drama, we're pretty much identical this cycle :) I'm 3dpo (it could possibly be 4dpo, but for the benefit of the doubt I'm saying 3)
I know it's too early for symptoms but I'm still jotting down everything I feel, yesterday I was extremely hungry, and super thirsty!
Good luck!!

Oh, forgot to say I'm going to try and hold out till 10dpo for testing (for me that's pretty good, I normally start at 6dpo with the 10mui tests LOL)

oh gosh - someone inspire me please!!!
Im REALLY struggling with the diet in this 2ww...i have been SO good for the last 5 months with the whole 'no snacking' and controlling my hunger...but its just gone down the gurgled this 2ww.
Today i had 2 biscuits in the morning.
And then when i was making a snack for DS after school i had 3 slices of cheese - it was like i was possessed.
And i don't know why?!??!?!
Maybe its because i am so over the diet...i don't know...but someone slap me across the head please!! I KNOW how important no snacking is in the 2ww!
grrrrrrrrr
ok vent over
And if course now I feel as guilty as all hell :(

Dont beat yourelf up about that lassie. Best case senario your preggers and its not going to effect you or the sex of your baby. Worst case senario you feel guilty until AF arrives and you are back on the wagon. 1 cheat doesnt ruin your months of hard swaying. And when my DD was concieved i ate buiscuits and cheese.
Thank you Cinss :) I know you are right...its just too easy to 'self bash!'
I feel much better now :)
on a different note, after DTD in regimental fashion 5 times i didn't think i would ever want to have sex again!
But today, 3dpo - I'm feeling rather frisky! (which is unusual for me, I'm normally a 'once a week girl', certainly not a '5 times and then some more' girl)
I mentioned it to DH - who's first comment was "well your obviously not pregnant then"
So know its got me thinking....
Anyone else felt frisky in 2ww and then had a BFP ?
My attempts will start tonight!!! Yay! Can't wait to join you :)
My dream- did u get results of third beta?
enjoy Hope - and GOOD LUCK :luck:
OMG I Felt the same exact way...after dtd so many timesQuote:

We DTD six days in a row -- with no big O for me. :( So the evening of 2dpo, DH and I were just drifting off to sleep and being snuggly ... and then started making out, kind of out of nowhere and ended up in a quite vigorous DTD session ... which included the big O for me, huzzah! I figure that since it was more than 48 hours since I'd ovulated, having the big O shouldn't have affected gender likelihood ... and since it was still several days before implantation would happen, it shouldn't cause any harm (like, y'know, shaking an embryo loose or anything :)). So I think nearly a week of rather unsatisfying sex (for both me and DH, since he says he has a much better time when I'm having a good time), set me up for needing a proper tumble in the sheets. :)Quote:

You should hopefully have a nicely fertilized egg working its way down to become implanted and get you pregnant ... but feeling horny at that stage says nothing about whether or not sperm met egg.
thanks hope and drama - i really shouldn't be over analysing, but its the 2ww, so i lose all common sense and reason!
drama - your spot on about the 'being pregnant' bit :)
Thanks for the reassurance :)
Hope- yea 3rd beta was 3355!!! Had ultrasound and saw gestational sac too. :)
Wooooohooooo!!!! Awesome :)Quote:

Anyone having symptoms to report? Im 7dpo today and i was cramping a fair bit yesterday and today. One thing i have noticed that is different with this cycle from my past 5 is that my cervix quickly turned low closed firm after O. Usally it stays kinda HSO for a while after.
Should the cervix be high or low after pregnant? I thought it could change at any time?! But have assumed I was out since its not high! I have pretended like I haven't been watching for signs but then I get twinges here and there, check cm, analyze my boobs! Shheesh! Has anyone noticed there breasts are larger from sp? Well I assume it's that as I heard someone say it could cause that?!? It tricked me into thinking I was preggers last month but they're stll here no baby lol! I'll take it, I was a an A- before, now they are a little fuller!!
coco - YES, SP can make your boobs bigger. When I was younger, I actually took an (ahem) "boob-enhancing" cocktail of Saw Palmetto, Wild Yam and Fenugreek. It definitely worked... and it also made me a crazy woman. My boyfriend at the time was torn between the boobs and putting up with my moodswings. LOLQuote:

So now I am VERY excited to join all of you!!! YAY! :)
So Tuesday I was VERY gassy and crampy, and I woke up hungry!
I suspect I Oed on Monday.
and so the countdown begins! :) Good luck!!!Quote:

Still extremely hungry.
nothing else to report..
I didn't know vitex could create positives! that might explain my 5days worth of +opk's!
TMI warning - i keep wiping really firmly and slowly in the hope of picking up some spotting!
By the way has anyone heard of the q-tip test?
Apparently you stick a q-tip and wipe around your cervix to check for colouring? Colour = AF coming ? Surely that can't be safe?
Welcome Butterfly best of luck to you. Lassie no i havent heard of the q-tip test, I would assume that may irritate your cervix and could cause bleeding, i am not game to try it, how about you?
Definitely not game! I even worry about checking my cervix just in case i irritate it, or worse get a germ up there (its silly, i know)Quote:

I will probably start to test on 10 dpo, around June 1 but I should get spotting first of some kind before that. My problem is I have no period to go off of!
I felt exhausted from Monday night on and I slept several hours then I woke up a few hours then slept again! Tues same deal. I slept a lot but was STILL wiped out! That isn't like me for sure.. I thought it was just impending O..
Then I was crampy and gassy on Tuesday which I guess was 1dpo.
And wOw, another person taking Vitex that is shooting positives probably after O! COOL! hahaha
Every lady needs to come together and say it's happening and then we can get a better look at what it does during our 2WW.
There's no TMI here hon, you don't have to warn, anyone that you are about to type anything like that haha I'm as blunt as a spoon on here.
And yes, I have done that Q-tip test to find blood, I don't necessarily find my cervix just swab around in there to find early bleeding! LOL I'm glad that I'm not alone!
Well your symptoms are promising, and exciting! I've also been celebrating the left-sided pains as well incase I would fit into the Ramzi theory because I checked Baby Center.com and A LOT of ladies have the opposite unfortunately. I can't help but be excited because with DS#2 I felt STRONG right-sided O pains. You just never know. :)
Thank you Cinss! You too sweetie!!!!! :)Quote:

Bit of a bugger about vitex and positive op.'s! I was relying solely on the OPKS's to try and catch ovulation. I dropped the temping, charting and CM/C checking so as to completely cost out stress....
i had positive OPKS on cd 11,12,13,14,15, 16 is a ? but Maybe i have missed O all together?
Hopefully not. We dtd cd 10,11,12,13. In the 2 months before it i ovulated on cd 12/13. before taking vitex though i ovulated on cd 15/16.
If o ovulated cd 15/16 then all that did would have been pointless - and I'm probably not pregnant...
Well its 6DPO - past the 'half way there' mark for testing. Only 4 more days and i will start getting some idea.
Im regretting not temping and charting this month now, yes its reduced stress, a GREAT deal. But it might be the reason i missed ov...
I have such high hope for this month - I'm going to come down with such a crash if I'm not pregnant :(
To top it off DH said no more swaying, he just really wants a baby, so if I'm nor pregnant the only swaying i will be able to do next month is my diet....
Yes, left means girl but I googled it and was lead to babycenter.com and many ladies there had girls on the right and boys on the left. It just made me excited is all :) LOL I was even in the right moon phase, even though I don't take much stock in that either! LMAO.. just whatever looks like girl makes me happy!
As for your OPKS... if you BD on 13, your DH sperm should live like 3 days..I think you caught O!
I'm so excited for you though, I've been following your posts where you talk about symptoms, and remember I said they sounded promising!
I personally think I would raise my stress level even more if I temped and graphed, it's good that you skipped it this month. I think with your first OPK was your real surge then Vitex caused all the other ones.
I hope you get your PINK BFP hon! I'm SO Excited to find out!!! :running:
Thats so encouraging - thank you :flowerz: !!Quote:

Gotta rush and get ready for work - but thanks again, here's hoping and praying that its your month 2 :fx: - there have been so many BFP's this month - i hope lots more of us join the list!!
