[Mochagirl]

Hey ladies - it's been an emotional few days for me. My cat's still at the vet, and we're waiting on some blood tests that will determine whether or not we have to put her to sleep.

swish - yay yay yay on the big temp jump!!!

So....my news is that I used a FRER this morning at 9dpo and got a faint line!!!!!!

Anyone know why our TTC Pink food thread is locked?

[swish]

Yay Mocha, I am sooooooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A line is a line, OMG!!!! I am jumping for joy for you, xxxxxxxx

Rainbow, would you pleased to get a bfp or were you not happy with your sway yet?

No idea about the food thread!

Yay, yay, yay Mocha!!!!!!!

Sorry, I was so excited I forgot to say, sorry about your cat, I hope it works out ok, xx

Thanks, swish - I'm still in shock about the BFP. I wish I felt better about my sway this time, but maybe I wouldn't have been able to get pregnant at all without a bit of extra food.

Last night I was figuring out my food intake for the day and for the first time since I started this diet, my calories were too high. It was weird because I really didn't eat much all day, but I wonder if somehow my body sensed I needed a bit extra so I ended up reaching for the high calories foods? I ended up with over 2000 calories, whereas I used to struggle to get to 1500.

Oh My Gosh Mocha!!! I am so so happy for you!!!See....september was meant to be your girl month!!!! Congrats!!!!

[swish]

I was going to say that about eating more, mocha, maybe your body would have never accepted a pregnancy with your previous cycles eating habits, you still have a great sway
Out of interest, what were your 2ww symptoms?

[Emmy2012]

Mocha....I agree that maybe your body needed more. Last month when my cycle did that wonky thing for the first time ever I had been super duper strict on the diet the whole two weeks prior so I really think the too low of calories delayed my ovulation. This month I was good but more lax and I am ovulating today on day 14 just one day later then normal. If you don't mind me asking how often did you bd and did you use anything (rephresh, aci-jel or whatever). I switched things up this month since I need to get pregnant asap. We did a 12 day abstain, dtd monday night O-2, had dh release the next am, dtd last night O-1, had dh relase again this am and plan on dtd tonight and tomorrow am. I am using douche, aci-jel and zytrec though.

I was going to post my 2WW symptoms anyway - I'm always curious to see how others felt before their BFP. Honestly, I had far fewer symptoms this month than in my BFN months. I've had some milk cramping - right after O I had my normal period-like cramping, but in the past week it's been more like sharp quick pains on my left side every once in a while. One day the pains were lower - almost in my groin. My boobs still aren't sore, but I do get some random sharp pains on the sides of them every once in a while.

My cm hasn't been overly abundant - it was creamy for a while, then switched to sticky. I've been freezing cold all week - I was blaming it on the sudden weather change and my weight loss, but now I wonder if it was a symptom of some sort. Now that I have my BFP I'm hot suddenly - could be psychosomatic, but worth mentioning.

I was gassy on and off (and so was blaming my cramps on that) and was constipated for a few days this week, and last night I was so tired that I couldn't get more that one page of my book read before passing out in bed - and it was an hour before the time I normally go to bed!!
