January 2WW!

[BabyGirl2013]

I got a negative blood test back from the Dr (taken at 9dpo). I'm so bummed. I really thought everything was timed perfectly. I mean, we could not have possibly BD'd more than we did through O. But maybe that was the problem...lowered the sperm count too much? I know it's still "possible" to be pregnant if implantation took longer than usual, but I'm not counting on that. It's harder than I thought it would be...hearing/seeing "negative". With my last pregnancy I was literally praying on the bathroom floor that two lines DIDN'T show up (I wasn't ready for a second at that time.) And this time so much hard work and planning and calculating just to end up not pregnant really sucks. I know I shouldn't be so dramatic...I know others have been trying for multiple months. I'm just feeling defeated.

It IS really hard. I've had 3 pregnancies that were one-hit-wonders, really not even trying at all. Unfortunately my 3rd ended in m/c, and we've been REALLY trying the last 3 months to no avail. It's so frustrating. I don't even remember what it's like to DTD without ulterior motives! Don't give up hope yet...I'm 6dpo and I woke up with a raging headache this morning, I'm grasping at straws

[TTCPink]

Anchor, I am 6DPO today too and I also woke up with a raging headache (that will not subside!) Is this a good sign?? This is our third month of TTC with our GD sway, and I had tried unsuccessfully for 2 months with Shettles timing before I found Gender Dreaming in Sept (Thank goodness it didn't work then since I learned here that Shettles has been proven wrong!) Our two boys were one hit wonders as well. I am starting to get a little frustrated too. I can't lose any more weight on LE, so I'm just hoping and praying for a BFP this month!! What day will you test Anchor? I am thinking I will test on 9DPO. Sorry the test was negative BabyGirl. It is definitely a roller coaster.

[The Anchor]

Well I RARELY get headaches, and I'm actually a little excited about this one...cuz the last time I got one was in the early days of pg with DS. Same as you TTCPink, it's a bad one, cannot shake it, and there really is no reason for it. Plus I don't want to take anything for it, you know, just in case HEY let's be POAS buddies, I was planning on 10dpo, but I've got a whole stack of ICs...

[TTCPink]

Yay! A POAS buddy! I can hold out until 10DPO if you want. We will have a better chance at seeing a BFP that day anyway. I have been spotting at 8DPO the last couple cycles so I am just praying my luteal phase is better this month. I agree about the headache...I rarely get them as well...though I was wondering if it could be a result of keeping blood sugar low? If that were the case I would think it would happen the rest of the month while on LE though, so I am hoping it is a sign!

Hi ladies!
Just found this section :-) I'm at 7dpo today and I've been swaying pink. For the last three days I've woken up with a terrible headache that luckily went away with a nice long shower... then today, right in the middle of the day, for no apparent reason, my back feels like a horse kickede in both kidneys. I get a lot of upper back/neck pain from working at my bench at my job, but I never have mid or lower back pain, and certainly not like this!! Crimony....
Here's hoping the back pain is a good sign for a bfp...!

Oh, and after being really good on the pink diet with no cheating, I went out to dinner tonight and did end up eating way more than I ought to have. Still small portions, but not 'pink friendly'... and now I'm super nauseated.... anybody else feel like that after a cheat? I'm thinking my poor tummy does not know what to do with all that protein and foie gras...lol!

[yamanote]

Hey Anchor and TTCPink, can I get in on the POAS buddy action? I think we're the same dpo. And I just went to the dollar tree and bought $20 worth of tests, lol!

[yamanote]

And use bottled not tap water.

Yes, we always use distilled, there were horror stories about people using tapwater...

[Thorz300]

Ugh I know its only 4 dpo but I have absolutely no symptoms of pregnancy......not feeling like this is my month

[sugar1117]

Hello everyone I am 3dpo and have been having some cramping, I never tracked ovulation with my girls so I don't know what symptoms I had in the 2ww.
