Week from hell got to me. AF showed up yesterday. I think me being so over stressed has done it for me.

@hberry. I'm so truely sorry. Hoping next cycle is your month. During these uncertain times, it's hard not to be stressed out.

Southern I’m so sorry AF got you but glad you’re not unsure about it! Here’s to a new cycle I agree with Nasake. Don’t count the spotting. I would also count cd 1 after midnight!

Nasake I’m hoping for a late bfp for you hun! So glad that you’re taking care of yourself. I’m always sending my positive thoughts and prayers!

Pandorica darn it! I had a secret hope that this was your cycle! Stay strong! Hopefully you’ll be getting a unique Christmas present this year!

Vintage metallic taste is a good sign! Hopefully is pregnancy related! You got this!

Hberry I’m so sorry! Maybe you should check it with your doctor. All those strong symptoms each month which as I can understand is not pleasant at all. Maybe your body is trying to tell you something. Maybe you need some supplements.

Alex: it's alright. I expected to end up with af. I was just so frustrated by it being so much later. I hope my cycle regulated and I go back to a 27/28 day cycle. Or that I get a bfp and don't have to worry haha! Here's to a new cycle!

So yesterday I didn’t have the metallic taste anymore, so I’m assuming it’s related to having a sore throat. Still slightly congested when I woke up. But I noticed yesterday- my boobs are sore. This could be PMS related, but I haven’t had sore boobs with PMS in years. It’s funny, because that used to be consistent every month and when I got pregnant with my daughter, the first symptom was that my boobs weren’t sore when they should have been.
So every ‘symptom’ I have could be completely normal PMS or cold symptoms. Assuming they aren’t, implantation would have already occurred, right? Which seems early- I’m only 8 or 9 DPO today with AF due 13 or 14 DPO.

Vintage Implantation can occur up to 12DPO. I've read a TON about it lately, and actually most common is between 8-12DPO.

Alex Today I dreamed AGAIN you posting two BFP pictures here. Seems like my mind is really invested in your success Let's hope it will happen soon!

Atm I'm on CD1! So I had 38 day cycle. Actually I love being CD1, because I already knew I'm not pregnant few days ago, so now I'm full of new hope for this cycle. Let's hope that christmas month will be full of ton of BFP's here!!

Southern Hopefully you won’t have to worry about regulating your cycle! Fingers crossed for this cycle!

Vintage yes unfortunately our bodies don’t want to cooperate when it comes to clear pregnancy symptoms. It could really be anything but I’m hoping it will lead to your bfp soon! Can’t wait to see your tests!

Nasake omg I actually too dreamt last night that I was pregnant and I took two tests. Lol things like this makes me excited even though after so many years I’m not very hopeful.
I’m glad you’re feeling well about CD1. You’re one strong cookie and I will throw a party when I see your bfp. Thank you for always being so supportive!

AFM I’m CD11 and I’m expecting to ovulate either tomorrow or the day after. I have everything covered either way and I’m certainly ovulating from my good side this cycle since I can already feel the pains. Praying for my miracle.

Alex - Yeah, I was hoping this would be it too, but af arrived in full force this morning. Still no acne or PMS-symptoms, which I find very good. Barely any af-cramps either, but that's normal for me. I usually have pretty painless periods and always have. It would be quite fun to get the best christmas present. When TTC our son I got my bfp on december 26th.

Alex: here's hoping! I'm having to get used to my body all over again. Including how long and heavy/light af is. But my bbt thermometer comes in today so starting tomorrow I'll be temping every morning. And I'll start using OPKs soon because I have NO idea when I'm supposed to be in my fertile window! I'm gonna treat it like my cycle before birth control and start early. Get those days good and covered so no matter when I ovulate there's a good chance.

Ooh, Alex, everything crossed for you!!
My boobs are so sore, omg. I had a vivid dream last night about looking at a house to buy and talking about how much our son would love it (we have two girls between us) so maybe that’s a sign!
