Reply by chanda75 » Jun. 1, 2012 1:18pm I'm 4dpo and nothing noticeable yet. I've got dry mouth, but that could be explained by the excessive heat we've been having. This waiting is TORTURE! Report	chanda75 Posts: 55

Reply by DREAMN4AGIRL » Jun. 1, 2012 2:28pm @ chanda75 & cnicole2284 I'm trying to wait it out to before testing, but it is driving my crazy. I guess I'm just gon wait on AF which she should be here around the 14 or the 17, God forbid! I pray that this is our month! Report	DREAMN4AGIRL Posts: 271

Reply by stgmngr210 » Jun. 2, 2012 1:28pm I hae no idea if I have any symptoms. One minute I'm convinced I do, the next I talk myself out of it. I really don't think I have any symptoms..the fact of the matter is, it's probably to early for me to. I'm 3 or 4 dpo...I think. I miscarried on May 14th, and would really like to be pregnant again asap. I have the ok from Ob (no medical intervention was needed with m/c) to try again immediately, since I'm 40 (tick-tock), and completely healthy. I'm trying to take advantage of the mysterious 'myth' that you are super-fertile right after a miscarriage. I didn't ask my Ob if this is true or not, because I'm quite happy believing in the prego fairy. :) I have been opk testing, and pretty sure I came up positive on Tuesday. I could see the strips getting darker over the days, darkest on Tueday afternoon (halk of the line was light, the other half was as dark as the test line), still dark Tuesday night, a little lighter Wednesday morning, then a steady lightening. Unfortunately, I am having NO success in temping, because I'm an insomniac, and can't get 3 hours of sleep under my belt before testing at the same time each morning. BOO! CM is scant with me as a rule...so no help there. Cervix was VERY high, soft and open..so, there's hope there. DH and I did the BD Tuesday and Wednesday night. Poor thing couldn't finish the dance Thursday night, or Friday morning (poor thing!). So, anyone think I may have caught my little eggo? Should I sleeze up on poor pooped DH again tonight just to be safe, or let the poor guy alone? Wishing super awesome good sticky bean luck to all!! Report	stgmngr210 Posts: 7

Reply by chanda75 » Jun. 2, 2012 8:23pm stgmngr210 - Ahhh... the preggo fairy...she's a fickle little sprite, isn't she?!?!? It sounds like you definitely could have caught that eggo! And I know two people who got preggers immediately following a MC so Wishing you lots of ! I am new to this site & see lots of posts of people testing 9 or 10 dpo but that sounds too early to me! I am planning on testing the day before AF is due (the 11th). I am currently very confused though, because I thought for sure (based on EWCM & some mild cramping) that I had O'd on CD #14 (we BD'd on #10, #12, & #14) but then out of nowhere on CD#18 I got MORE EWCM (this one a lot more stretchy...tmi I know!) so I forced some BD-ing on the hubby on that day too. So now I am not sure of I am 5 dpo or 9 dpo! What do you girls think??? And then today, CD#22, I got a clump of CM again! I'm new at this CM charting, so if you have any advice PLEASE share! If no BFP this cycle I will definitely be getting an OPK for next time. We're way too old, and married way too long, to be BD-ing all the time...I'm going to put my poor hubby in traction if we keep this up! Report	chanda75 Posts: 55

Reply by stgmngr210 » Jun. 2, 2012 9:17pm Chanda75 I was torturing myself by stalking the site "two week wait" in the early symptoms section. Women who have recently gotten their BFP share the log of symptoms they kept from 0DPO until their BFP. A few women specifically posted about clumpy/globby CM! Fingers crossed for the baby fairy and her sticky bean baby dust for you!! As for me, the only symptom I have so far is slightly tender bbs....because I keep squeezing them to see if they hurt. sigh :) Report	stgmngr210 Posts: 7

Reply by pbc910 » Jun. 3, 2012 1:16am The wait is torture! I have been feeling "things" since my suspected ovulation date. I started with mild cramps low in my abdomen and now have sore nipples, which I never have. Could it be the new bra I've been wearing the past week, or is it in my head???? Last month was the first month I didn't test b/c my husband convinced me not to. This month, I won't until AF is late. Luckily, we are taking a trip to Las Vegas, so I will be distracted for the rest of the wait, or will I? Report	pbc910 Posts: 698

Reply by Starfish2002 » Jun. 3, 2012 9:53am Looks like I have found the right thread - I am 5DPO, and I have some 'symptoms' that could be early pregnancy symptoms: 1. My BBT has elevated slighted (97.2, 97.3, 98.0, 98.1). 2. I have CM that I typically don't have (but who knows, I just may have never noticed it before). 3. Dull cramping on the left side. 4. Headaches. 5. MAJOR BLOATING! 6. Yesterday - sore nipples I have been trying to take it easy instead of worrying. Who knows. I am scheduled to get AF on June 11th (my one year wedding anniversary!) I am looking forward to reading everyone's post and seeing what lies ahead for us! Will keep everyone posted as Implantation should be around June 6th.

Reply by chanda75 » Jun. 3, 2012 12:20pm I'm SO jealous of the people who get the sore/sensitive bbs (even when it's self-inflicted, stgmngr210! And I've been there...you should see the raised eyebrow looks I get from DH when he enters a room & I'm practically turning them into TINY punching bags to see if I get a reaction...or holding my shirt out & staring down it to see if there are any pronounced veins! Needless to say, if you could burn calories by rolling your eyes, my DH would be a VERY skinny-minny!) because evidently mine are completely dead inside! They've never been very, ummm...responsive anyway. And when I (FINALLY...after 13 years) had my DD they never did a thing (including the fact that I never got the porn-star bbs I had always dreamed would happen when I got pregers!)! And every site you go to says the most reliable & earliest sign is sore bbs! Darn these, tiny useless things! Ugh! pbc910 - Vegas, Baby! What a wonderful distraction...or at the very least it will help the TWW go by quicker! Starfish2002- We are HPT Buddies...I get to test that day too! I hope our little thread is just swimming in baby dust! Report	chanda75 Posts: 55

Reply by pbc910 » Jun. 3, 2012 3:33pm I feel the same way about sore bbs, b/c all the pregnant women I know say that's how they know there were pregnant. I am not very chesty if you will and I've never had sensitive bbs or nipples so I figure if I got sore bbs it would be the sign...sigh This stupid cramping type feeling is annoying and it came back this morning, a very dull cramping in my low abdomen and just not feeling very well. AF is supposed to come around June 10th so I am praying that this month she will finally go away, at least for 9 months...b/c if I see one more pregnant chick or a baby, I might explode! Baby dust to all! Report	pbc910 Posts: 698

Reply by ceegee » Jun. 3, 2012 4:42pm Hello ladies, Chanda & starfish2002 - yeah! We all share the same ovulation schedule :) I did the Clomid Challenge Test (CCT) this month so my symptoms are a bit exaggerated. Mostly gas/bloating so I'm a bit distracted and not sure if I'm missing anything else. I am having vivid dreams, which is similar to when I was pregnant (but mc) last May. So curious to hear how things unfold for everyone. Thanks for sharing. Sending positive energy to everyone! Report	ceegee Posts: 30

Reply by DREAMN4AGIRL » Jun. 3, 2012 5:58pm Hi Ladies, I've been reading everyone's post & I apolingogize for not responding, but I've been so down going into this month. The only things I have felt at this time is still a running nose slight cold mild cramps. and silence some sharp pains here and there but nothing major. I have no sore boobs at all. Still been trying to BD but I don't know if that worked because my head hasn't been in it since I lost the first one to a chemical pregnancy. but over all I'm still praying for a BFP. GL to you ladies! Report	DREAMN4AGIRL Posts: 271

Reply by chanda75 » Jun. 3, 2012 6:07pm The vivid dreams are definitely a good indicator! I can't even count that though because I have always been a crazy, detailed dreamer. Although for some reason while I was pregers with DD I always dreamed about celebrities...and kidnapping them or making them my friends (I'm probably on some kind of watch list just for typing this!)! And 2 nights ago Brad Pitt & George Clooney made an appearance in dream land (man was I mad when my DD woke me up!!!!). SO maybe that means something??? Or I'm reading too many entertainment news magazines! Also, a nurse friend of mine told me she thinks I may have actually ovulated on CD#14, instead of the #18 as I had assumed. So I am either 6 or 10 dpo. Guess I'm resigned to waiting to test until the 10th or 11th. It's SO nice to have people in the same boat, and on the same cycle as me. Also, I had another clump/glob of CM today...hoping that's a good sign???? And all sorts of stomach issues all day the last 2 days. Mainly diarrhea and bloating (which I know constipation is the more normal sign, but a girl has got to dream!). Oh, and pbc910 - the dull, annoying cramping may be a VERY good sign! Maybe that little bean is burrowing in for the long haul as we speak! Report	chanda75 Posts: 55

Reply by pbc910 » Jun. 3, 2012 6:16pm I've always had crazy dreams, but recently they've gone onto a whole new level, like I feel like I am actually living the dream until I wake up and then I'm like WHAT THE HELL! Last night I dreamed I was so mad at my husband for something stupid I left him and then another dream I started setting things on fire. And another thing I've noticed is these dreams are so memorable...I can remember them for days. Yeah I too have had tummy issues, although I can't say I've eaten too well, but just feel blah and I am seriously craving Coke and other sodas, something I normally don't crave - yes I usually crave ice, cold water...but the last couple days I've just wanted all the sugary goodness. Other foods have lost their flavor to me, especially chocolate, a Snickers bar I had tasted like cardboard. I'm eagerly awaiting what my CM is going to be like b/c the past several cycles after O, its been lotiony about a week before AF and I was also hoping it was a good sign of pregnancy. So far, nothing really noticeable pertaining to CM. As I am packing for my trip I am getting my tampons ready just in case AF shows up on time...I'm so hoping I pack of these and don't need them!!!!

Reply by canozbub » Jun. 3, 2012 6:33pm I just got a positive HPT at 11DPO, at 5DPO I was convinced I was out of the game this cycle as I felt nothing really, other than normal PMS kinda stuff (even then it wasn't extreme). Chin up, it's still early and there is hope :). Good luck and baby dust to you! Report	canozbub Posts: 3

Reply by mami101 » Jun. 5, 2012 2:52am Hey gals, Finally,I think that i found the right thread. Am kinda new to this site - 9DPO and with no official symptoms. DH travels alot and so do I so we dont get to BD as much. No concrete symptoms have shown up apart from the mild cramps and the backache. AF is due on the 10th or 11th, jus hoping she doesnt show her ugly head! Really praying for another girl. Baby dust to you all!!!! Report	mami101 Posts: 24

Reply by stgmngr210 » Jun. 5, 2012 9:07am Good news for those with no symptoms: I miscarried on May 14th at 7 weeks (obviously, that's not the good news!), so, I very clearly remember my symptoms: NONE. Yup, NO symptoms. My DH and I were not necessarily ttc, but not taking any precautions. Since I had no symptoms, I didn't even test until I was 4 days late for my period. And, even then, I was convinced it had to be wrong...so I took SEVEN more tests that night, and FIVE the next morning!! My boobs didn't hurt, I didn't have to pee more often...and fatigue...heck no. In fact...the day before I tested, I had a VERY intense work weekend that involved extremely long hours on my feet (I wear a pedometer, and walked 9.5 miles the day before I tested). Within 2 days of testing positive (20dpo) I was fatigued, and 2 days after that (22dpo) my boobs began to be very sore. Now I'm on a mission TTC! :) Report	stgmngr210 Posts: 7

Reply by pbc910 » Jun. 5, 2012 9:19am My symptoms have all gone away except these AF like cramps. I've had them since O, a lot at first, now like once a day. Only other thing is that I was super moody and irritable yesterday, huge blowout with the hubby, getting upset over everything. Damn hormones, they've been way worse since I got off bc!

Reply by chanda75 » Jun. 5, 2012 12:49pm Got a BFN with ClearBlue Digi this morning. I told myself I wasn't going to test until AF was due, but I woke up at 5am really having to pee & couldn't resist the urge to POAS. I haven't felt any symptoms since my negative so possibly they were all in my head. Except I had a small amount of CM on the TP again this morning (which is one thing I can't fake!). So I'm still holding out a little hope - I did test pretty early. I'm going to try again on Thursday (which is still 4 days before AF is due) because it is my birthday & I think that would be a pretty awesome present! Still hoping I'm growing somebody this month!
