Flamingogirl you are so good not testing!!! I'm going to start testing tomorrow which will make me 10 dpo and 1 day before AT due. I haven't had any cramps since 7 dpo and 8 dpo I got the teeniest spot of brown blood but nothing since so I'm thinking AF will be on her way ???? feel a bit nauseous today but I think it's just nerves to be honest. Fingers crossed to everyone I love all these posts good or bad it's so comforting to know we are not alone during the most emotionally draining time (both ttc and pregnancy) xxx

@SheRiskers. I do have a slight bump but hard to tell sometimes and that is what I heard too about as a lot of people have been telling me that. When bloated, I look like I am 7 months pregnant and then shrink back down to a little bump lol. I'm sure your appointment will go well. Do you want to find out the sex of the baby? I want to find out but I'm trying to decide which route to take (be a surprise). Either by blood work or during the ultrasound. My motherly insticts thinks a boy based on eating pickles as to sweets in my first pregnancy and other symptoms I read online. Did you take progesterone this time around?

Dragonfly and sheriskers, i was wondering about showing too. This is my 3rd pregnancy. First at 13w, i had a mmc. Died at 7w. I was 110lbs and had a tiny bit of roundness. My dd, i was 120 and started showing at 11w. 8lbs9o 23 in. Now, i am way heavier than last. I never lost baby weight (having a baby at 38, i couldnt lose it). I am 145 and 5w today. I hope i dont start showing a month early cause that will be in 2w. Lol. I'm thinking since i am fluffier, i wont show like i did before.

Shifali, i was going to do iui but had one more cycle of clomid to finish 1st. Didn't need it but that option is great. It gets the swimmers right up to the finish line. Takes the guesswork out of asking if they made it or not. It also gets there right at O time so that is good too!
Neomasie, thanks for the encouragement. I am so happy but scared! As with most expecting moms I'd say. I was thinking good til i had to get numbers again. Atleast i get to see them rise again!

Gooooood morning!
I need some insight! I’ll try and keep this short!
Tracking cycles for 6 months
They average 24 days
Ovulation notes with Cm
LMP March 10
During the following week after LMP I stated I new job, delt with a family mental health crisis (I’m good with these things though). It was also my kids birthdays and Easter. I also battled a UTI with antibiotics in the 29th, single does medication (WOW! Amazing antibiotic)
Fast Forward. Expected my period April 2. Annnnnnddd Nadda.
I am now 5 days late and still nothing.
Husband and I did BD numerous times over the month with pull out and stay in (lol) I what I thought were my safe days. I stopped tracking CM this month because crazy times.
I’ve taken a pregnancy test every day and all Neg.
I noticed cramping on the 2nd and though AF was coming. It came again on the 3rd evening but last only a little while and it was mild.
On the 4th i noticed my breast felt old...and continue to feel weird now...tingles, itchy, achy, burny(is this a word?)
The odd cramp here and there lasting minutes maybe.
CM is completely dry
Wave a nausea but that could be a hundred things.
Sense of smell increase...like really why does my new car smell like asparagus all of a sudden??? (Could be me being weird though)
I pee all the time but I’m scared to get another’s UTI
So here we are...5 days late, another negivitve test. Oddly enough I feel great today! Like happy and I even might have the energy to clean my house today...I’ll let you know after my children wake if I change my mind haha
TIA

@neonaise - I was a c-section baby on 12/1! The doctors let my Mom pick 11/30 or 12/1 and she went with 12/1. I’m a twin and she carried us to 39weeks! Eek! I hope you have a wonderful c-section experience .
@AFwifey117 - Yay for the solid smiley! Do all the BDing this weekend!
@ Mommy2018 - Maybe you ovulated later then normal? That would make you not get your period yet and have negative tests. You’r symptoms all sound promising so I would keep on testing if I was you. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!
@K8mcm88 - Did you test today!? I think next cycle I will hold off until 15 or 16 DPO if I make it that far. It’s nerves that keep me from testing. I hate seeing that lonely pink line.
AFM - I was super nervous to get up and test this morning but I did it and it looks like a BFN . I will post it but I think AF will arrive today or tomorrow. If it doesn’t I will test again Monday morning. Each cycle we don’t concieve makes me get more and more nervous that something is wrong. I’ll do one more cycle with BBT and OPKs and then i’m going to stop with the OPKs because I always ovulate around the same time. Anyways... I hope you all have a great weekend!

Morning ladies. Need some prayers today. Babe and I are well but my heart breaks into a million pieces. Yesterday our province was hit with a huge tragety. Yesterday afternoon a bus full of 17-22 year olds collided with a semi on their way to a AHL (I think) playoff game killing 14 of 28 people including the coach. The remaining 14 are in the hospital with life threatening serious injuries. Please pray for a healing...
