I am trying to take a test every other morning so I can see if I get a really early one it may mean twins... Hubby has already asked if I am preg because he made some salsa and it made me puking, really good salsa but it always made me sick when I was preg. Yesterday I had the metal taste all day and also grapes made my stomach upset.

5dpo and I will test tomorrow morning.

4blue and DM you guys crack me up! So I did poas today 8dpo..of course BFN but I expected that. I did get a small temp rise today so I am hoping that is a good sign. My boobs hurt so bad this am it hurt going down the stairs.....I keep trying to say ti is all in my head but it hurts! LOL I have also had gas like crazy....a normal symptom for me when pregnant. I don;t know...I almost don't want to be pregnant this time. I almost feel if I am if must be a boy...I am do damn fertile to get a girl!

Mocha, so sorry about the bfn, hun. How many months have you been trying? Best thing to do is try to switch some stuff up IMHO. You'll get there!

You gals crack me up with the poas addictions! I would be too except that my soul gets crushed every time I see that expanse of white in the test area....I have been ttc for a year, though. I got a bfp at 10dpo last two times, and the line was not a squinter, so I may break down and test at 9dpo, which will be Sunday morning. Yuzu, I totally LOL at 1dpo!

Emmy, nice temp rise! I had a bit of a dip this morning myself (6dpo) but I did wake up 45 minutes earlier for work. I get SUPER gassy when pg also, I hate it.

I agree with whoever said we need some bfps.....

Hey ladies - I don't know how I got my dates messed up, but af isn't due today after all but tomorrow. I even started to get my hopes up again when I woke up this morning with no af and no cramps or other signs it was coming. I took another test and BFN. So...probably I'll be out tomorrow, but just in case - has anyone here ever gotten a BFN the day before their period was due then still end up with BFP later? I don't feel pregnant, but I also don't feel like af is around the corner. I haven't used a FRER in a couple of days - just ICs that are supposed to be sensitive, and I used it with FMU this morning.

I'm really not getting my hopes up. I figured I was out anyway and was eager for af to arrive so I could start into the next cycle, but of course a surprise BFP after I'd already gotten over the disappointment of what I thought was another BFN month would be fantastic!

Oh, and LolaInLove - this is only my second month TTC, and my third month on the diet. I know I have nothing to complain about - there are lots of women here who've been trying a lot longer than me. I'm just so sick of the diet and don't want to have to face a 4th month of bland food.

I have heard that people get BFN days after a missed period and then get a postitive... It really depends on how long it takes for the egg to make itself known. Depending on when you dtd, Ov, and the LT!

Mocha- ME! With my 1st DS I was on the pill....LOL and I had taken abx at the beginning of my cycle for an infected ingrown toenail(yes..lovely, I know). I got to the day my period was due and nothing showed up(day 3 of being off). I took a preg test it was negative. I looked at when we'd had sex that month because I used to write EVERYTHING in a journal and it had been 18 days since DTD because my hubby works out of town. So even if I had O'd 4 days after DTD it would have still been at least 2 weeks since I O'd. I tested again every day after and it wasn't until 16-17dpo(estimated guess...maybe even later though) that I finally got a + with FRER. It can totally happen!!! FX'd Mama!!!!!

Mocha, I hear you. Swaying in general is, IMO, not that much fun! I'll tell ya, with my girls, I got a squinter on 14dpo, but that is because my period didn't come that morning as I expected. We weren't ttc with either. I doubt I would have gotten a visible positive before that. And I mean SUPER squinters....so faint, I had to ask another opinion. But, I got 2 bfps this year (both m/c) on 10dpo....isn't that odd? So, I don't know, I'm a realist although I never like to dash anyone's hopes....odds are you are out, BUT you never know! And seriously, two months is nothing. My doctor told me that every woman, regardless of age, should expect to try for 3 months at least. So you have twin boys? Did you get them naturally or with Clomid?

[Mochagirl]

My twins were natural - they're identical twins. They were conceived the second month trying (and the first month I bothered to educate myself about how to tell when I'm olvulating), then ds3 was conceived on the 2nd month after I spent one month doing lime douches, etc. then decided I wanted to be pregnant quickly and gave up on swaying.

So...I know it's normal for it to take a few months, but I've always been blessed with good fertility and I think I just assumed it would happen more quickly than this. That being said, I'm just a couple of months away from turning 37, so my fertility might be slowing down. Not to mention all the swaying I'm doing which is meant to make it HARDER to get pregnant.

I agree that I'm probably out, and I definitely won't get my hopes up...but it is nice to have a very small glimmer of hope. I don't think I'll run out and buy more FRERs, though, unless af doesn't arrive tomorrow. I have one IC left that I'll use tomorrow morning if there's no AF yet.

[LolaInLove]

Mocha, you should totally keep some hope! Seems like you didn't take long to get pg before, even in your mid-30s. (I'm 35 myself.) And yes, keep that glimmer of hope, I always do! There are indeed TONS of ladies who get a bfp after 14dpo. So impressive that you had a med-free vbac....I tried with all my might to do that, but caved and got an epidural after 14 hours of HARDCORE labor with my vbac. I'd love to try it again, even at home maybe. So hard with swaying girl too.....will be pulling for you, girl!!!

I made a 1 egg spinach omlette with very little cheese... up early and needed food... it stayed in my stomach for 15mins before I lost it!

Has anyone had extreme m/s at 4dpo?
