FirstTimersTTC

9dpo March 2013

Took a HPT yesterday and it was BFN - posted in the questions/forum asking if I still had a chance this month being AF arrived on the 15th (5 days from today), three replied with saying I still had plenty of time. I took a implantation test for the first time and if I in fact ovulated on the 1st of March, today would be the most common day for implantation up til tuesday.

I feel okay today.
No nausea.
No soar throat.
No stuffy nose.
No runny nose.
Not really achy.
I am tired, very tired. However I haven't been sleeping very great for the few several days. I realized this morning exactly what Vivid dreams were (don't make fun) and I definitely fall in that category. You can see in this weeks journal I've been waking up and staying up, not being able to fall back asleep for hours and when I do, I am dreaming like crazy. Dreams I can remember.
My sense of smell seems to be still very strong.
Overall - I feel good. Not sure if that is a good sign or a bad sign.

A couple of days ago I wrote how I went to eat some oreos (I.LOVE.OREOS) and they weren't appealing to me. At this point in journal-ing I had no idea sense of smell or taste change were an early symptom, I just jotted it down. That being said, today my DH came home from a fishing trip. just a few minutes ago he sat down next to me and I asked, "What is that smell?" because something made my tummy rumble & frown apon, he replied stating the soap he just used to wash his hands. Not even 10 seconds later, I said... no really, it can't be that soap. It's super sweet... did you just eat an oreo, he replied looking at me like a crazy person as I gave him a sour face. This is weird.

Who knows if we are pregnant. This is our first month and truthfully, we were trying but not trying. I knew my ovulation time period because of an app on my phone - basing it off of my last period. Aaron didn't know when my O time was - only me. However it wasn't something I thought about like I've been doing since finding this site and starting to get symptoms. We did BD the entire week of O except on my actual O day.
It wasn't until Thursday night (the night he left) did I find this site and find SO much out about TTC. I don't want it to be 'all in my head however, I do want to jot it down. I've seen so many woman & their spouses stories about TTC for months, even years. I want to see the difference from time to time.

Just wanted to jot the oreo sense down in case we are and I can share my signs later with others. If not, I pray I don't have a sudden change for the taste/smell of them because I'd be mentally sad.

Until then, I'm waiting to see if AF arrives on the 15th. THEN i'll take a HPT making that my 3rd time this cycle.

TTC, jld
