Not quite.. I'm 6dpo. Feeling so hopeless for this cycle but there's always a part of me that can't help but to obsess about it lol. I got 6 more days til AF is supposed to show and I won't test til 10-11dpo at the earliest

Me too @kitten90 - every month I say I won't obsess but then when it gets to around 7dpo I start going crazy! I'm also feeling hopeless for this one to be honest (I was really stressed and OH was ill, and I probably drank too much wine!).

I'll hold out to test until Friday (10dpo) I think

Hi marymary76 and Kitten90

I'm 6dpo and I get what you mean. As you, I always agree with myself not to obsess, but then (suddenly :-p) I'm obsessing. I wanna bet my Google history is enough to put me in a mental house.
I'll try not to test before 13dpo, and by then I'll probably know the answer, cause I spot before AF. Only time I didn't was when I got a BFP, that sadly ended in a cp 5 days later.
I have to pee like crazy, which has probably NOTHING to do with ttc. Thank God for this site! Being crazy together feels so much better than alone! :-)

Good luck to both of you!!!!

Lmao yep my Google history is downright nutty as well. Just can't help it though! I had two CP's in a 4 month span before I got pregnant with my daughter so I definitely know what being pregnant feels like.. and each time I got pregnant I knew waaayyyy before it was time to test that I was pregnant. Just knew it. Not feeling that way this cycle but still having some fishy symptoms.

The whole peeing every hour thing is getting to me. I tend to pee a lot during the TWW anyway so it's not really out of the ordinary but it's hard not to think of it as a pregnancy symptom even though it's likely I haven't even implanted yet lol. Also having trouble sleeping lately which is odd but I'm thinking it's more likely due to the season changing than anything else..

I never had that feeling you describe, just knowing I was pregnant. However, several days before I had the cp, I did have a gut feeling "it just died" (it wasn't really alive but you get what I mean). Off course, as usual, I ignored my gut feeling and reassured myself everything was probably fine. Guess it wasn't... But it so hard to rely on your own feelings when TTC!
Haha, you're right, Kitten90! Every "symptom" is something which is either completely normal for TWW anyway, or has a completely reasonable explanation which has nothing to do with TWW, like "oh, my back hurts, I must be pregnant!", while I lifted furniture the day before. Seriously, I can tell myself anything! I'm like the most naive person I've ever talked to ;-)

Good luck and baby dust to you two!!!

Yep.. I am 9dpo and waiting to hear back from doctor about my 21 day blood work to find out if I ovulated this month. ...(always get a positive opk but don't always ovulate) wait wait wait feels like all I do lol

Hey ladies,
9dpo today!! I know what you mean re symptoms but honestly, I was convinced I was pregnant last month, completely felt like I was but I wasn't! And the month when I didn't feel pregnant at all was when I was (I had a CP back in October). @ckry28 - I had bloodwork done too as I also don't always ovulate, I definitely did this month though so fingers crossed!!

How did you know about not ovulating with the positive opk? Btw, can you also have temp rises but not ovulate?
ckry28, how did your blood work turn out?
Good luck to all of you!!!

Alice, I had an anovulatory cycle a few months ago - I had peaks on the CBFM but didn't get a period for 3-4 weeks after, so everything geared up to happen but didn't. I had my Progesterone checked then and it was low. Then I had it done a month or so later and still low. I've been taking all sorts of supplements since though and the last 2 months I've had good readings so much better.

I'm pretty sure that you will only have a temp rise if you've ovulated (it's the progesterone that makes the temp rise) - I don't temp regularly though as I seem to have quite low natural body temps so it always stresses me out that I'm not ovulating!

Thanks, marymary76!! My temps are weird sometimes but I'm pretty sure I O'd then this month. Do you think that, if you have a noticeable temp rise, that you don't suffer from low progesteron?
I get what you mean, temping can be really confusing :-s I'm excited for you that you O'd this month, and the TWW is slowly but steadily coming to an end! :-)
Baby dust and FX for a BFP!!!!
