August 2WW!

Thanks Mummy...♥ Congrats on your BFP!

LilPumpkin, I don't know, but apparently cramps, breast tenderness and everything else is. :( I just don't know what to think!

Lassie, you are the sweetest cheerleader ever ;) Thanks!!! ♥

Thanks beadin!

Really sorry for those of you who are out this month, i know its sooo hard especially with so many girls getting BFP's, Beadin i really thought this would be your month after last, fingers are still crossed for you.

Pumpkin i had every pregnancy symptom under the sun last month (strange taste, smelt everything, cramping, slight nausea), even a week late af but kept getting a BFN no idea what was going on. Hope you get your BFP but it is possible that swaying alters your body. This month i have taken vitex on and off (when i remembered getting ready for next month properly) but had a couple of days where i took it, then i thought i'd o'd so stopped realised i wasn't sure so took another one or two then went away and forgot to take them and i've had spotting for a couple of days now (either pink or brown sorry tmi) but am only on cd21 af not due for another 6 plus days, has anyone else had this could it be from the vitex or just a coincidence (am wondering whether it would be from my really weird cycle last month i'm now getting a really short one)

I had no idea vitex had these side effects. Now I'm somewhat disappointed. This explains why I was experiencing all of these things so early. Thanks for the info ladies!

Yeah. I had no idea either. :( I hope it's just a fluke that my temp dipped this morning & that it comes back up.

Thanks for the support, Mrs. P. - it really means a lot. ♥
I'm not sure about the answer to your question, but you might want to post the question to Atomic. I posted a question about the vitex symptoms this morning myself...amazingly, she's back and answering questions. To say she's like wonderwoman is an understatement. lol.

UGH. And I am having some SERIOUS cramps right now. :(

And I can tell you from experience....especially with watching the other ladies get BFPs, it's incredibly discouraging to see a stark white test. In fact, I'm trying to be positive right now, but I am so sad. I really thought with all of my symptoms that this was it, but apparently the vitex can cause pregnancy symptoms. :(

UGH...it just hit me all of a sudden! :( I feel like crying.

Reading this makes me want to cry too. :tissue: I'm sorry Beadin. I really hope af stands you up this month and you get a late bfp. If not, you know I'll be doing this in a few weeks...:cheerteam: Oh, and I want to be the cheerleader on top. It looks like fun!!

Im so sorry you guys are hurting - i know what it feels like. Try and keep the hope up girls - its really all we have got. Did you know (random fact) that hope is actually the strongest of all human emotions, even stronger then fear!
Harness that hope to try and create some positive energy so that the next month can be all ours!
As hard as it is, everything is always easier from behind a smile, so try and look to the next month knowing confidently that this will happen, and we will all get out bfp's - hopefully sooner rather then later.

Hopendream - good to see you again :) I would take the medication to increase your lining - i think thats super important, as AS says, you won't get your DG if you don't get pregnant at all. Im taking soy now - which is supposed to sway blue, and also having to take some zinc and iron tabs - which again sway blue.
Biggest swayer is diet, so as long as you stick to that then you will still have a super strong sway!
Good luck!!

Great pep talk Lassie. Just what these amazing women need to here!!!

Okay, now that I seethe pic on a computer I see what you mean. Took one tonight and I feel like I still might see something but it coold be my imagination. I hadn't held my pee for that long though. I might be around more tomorrow to catch up.

Ladies, I am so sad about everyone's bfns. :(

What do you think 3m? If it was a real line, wouldn't it be more obvious now? I'm 10 dpo today. Attachment 4145

Oh, my girl, I would love to accept those congrats but it's so light and I can't see color and it doesn't seem to be getting darker and could I possibly have two boxes worth of defective tests with evap lines that come up way way before the 10 minute mark? It's messing with my head!

No. I think it's positive, it's just early....it'll get darker as time goes on. :) Very excited for you...♥

So you can see it? It's not just a figment of my imagination because I want a baby so badly?

Attachment 4146

With some hardcore tweaking. ;) I'm no Beachy, but I can see it better. But i still don't see any color in the line.

This is giving me even more gray hairs. Seriously.

I really think I see something, but you should send it to NC so she can tweak it!

We were posting at the same time. I totally see something in your tweaked pic! Congrats my girl!!

3men&1lady, I need your eyes! Your special eyes!

Thank you! I love you! I needed backup eyes so badly!

I see it for sure in the 2nd pic! Yay!!!!

I see a line too, but my concern is that it's too close to the control line..Can you get a $1 test tmw?

That's what I was wondering too. I have several tests left in the closet so I will be testing again tomorrow.

Have you kept your other tests? I see a line on this one too. You're really testing my poas eyes Shell!!! When do your tests expire?

I know a few of you are taking vitex. Just an interesting fact- a bunch of ladies on here got their bfp the cy ke they stopped taking it. AS says it can b like birth control for some. Just wanted you to know.

And thanks for all the support :bighug::bighug::

Idk, but I've been seeing lines on every test you've done.

I'll have to look, but they're brand new boxes. UGH. I really really hate this. I still think they should be getting darker, even if it's early. I just don't understand how I could be getting lines on untweaked tests within the time limit if they're negative.

No, I haven't kept the other tests. Too many nosy kids in this house. ;)

I've made the decision not to leave the 2ww thread without you guys. I introduced myself in the due in March, April and May thread so you all have one more month to get knocked up...OR ELSE!!!!

Thanks Hope&Dream! I've taken it for several months now & stopping next month. Hope I'm one of the lucky ones who gets a BFP the cycle they stop! :)

And of course you have our support...you're sweet AND supportive of everybody else!! ♥

Welcome! Most people don't see truly positive tests until day of missed period. When I was preggo with my first child my BFP was faint on the day I missed my period! We weren't trying so I took that test because I was wondering where AF was not expecting to be preggo. Don't worry! Be sooo happy for that faint little line! I can't wait until I can POAS!

I so hope you're right, lilpumpkin! Thank you for the encouragement! I've never tested early like this -- I've always waited till my period was due -- and I'm really stressing over it this month. It is literally giving me a headache.
