Dragonfly- My daughter is very is tune with babies. She just LOVES them. So much so she says she will be a mom when she grows up. She is also very set on me having a baby in my tummy right now too. I was thinking the darkening could be a gender thing with baby.. When I was pregnant pregnant with my daughter I craved nothing but cream but with all 3 of my boys I craved nothing but chocolate. Now all I'm craving is ice cream again.

Hope everyone had a good and safe holiday weekend!!

So happy for you @dragonfly ! I cant waait to experience a bfp and a strong one at that lol.

Good luck to everyone in their TWW! I see there's quite a few in here!

AFM... still no period! it was due friday/saturday so it is now 3 days late. I took a pregnancy test (amazon cheapies) yesterday and this morning and it was VERY negative.. no faint line no nothing. Hubby and I even DTD because that'll usually start af when shes dragging her feet lol. Still nothing. So idk... maybe af will show up later today. I never miss an AF, she's usually right on time. Even when my cycle would change, by end of day 2, AF would be here. As for how I'm feeling symptom wise... I feel fine! So weird

MrsB- that is weird. I've never experienced anything like what you are.
My symptoms are pains in my hip area (both sides), nausea and vomiting, chills( a/c set to 65) hot flashes, twinges, sore, tender and sensitive boobs and nips. Still craving ice cream. It's terrible. haha

update: AF started this afternoon. Was getting a little worried because pregnancy tests were very negative and AF was no where in site. my cycle is usually 30/31 days and this cycle its 34 days. Just trying to stay positive because the fertility clinics will be opening back up in June. praying to fall pregnant before they can set an appointment for us but if not, hopefully it doesn't take them long to get us scheduled.

@BCoops. Awe hun. So truely sorry AF reared her ugly head. It's hard not knowing what goes on inside the woman's body. I wish we came with manuals so we know what to do. Praying you get pregnant long before the clinics open back up.

@MrsBCoops so sorry that Aunt Flo got ya! When AF comes I make it a point to enjoy a glass or two of wine and order some sushi - I'm always so hopeful that each period will be my last one before a pregnancy so I indulge in the pregnancy no-no foods - it helps me!

Got my crosshairs on Ovuview and it puts me at 4dpo today, which lines up with when I felt O pains, and the last day of pure ewcm not mixed with other types, so I think it's accurate. Nothing much to report aside from feeling sleepy, and while I was freezing all day yesterday, I am much more comfortable today and actually got overheated while doing housework. (It's Winter in Australia and has been cold the last two days.) Lovely progesterone symptoms haha! These next few days are going to draaaaagggggg onnnnn.

On a spiritual note: It's a special time of year liturgically - we are praying to the Holy Ghost between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sunday just as the apostles did! It's a time filled with expectation and the hope of graces being rained down from Heaven. I'm very blessed during this time to be able to attend Eucharistic Adoration tomorrow morning and will carry you all with me in my heart as I pray. I will be fasting tomorrow morning as well, and will offer it for all of our intentions. May God the Holy Ghost breathe new life into our souls - and our wombs too!

Hberry that’s some very promising symptoms girl! I can’t wait to see your bfp!

MrsB I’m so sorry hun! It’s so hard everytime especially when our bodies decides to be late and gives us hopes. Pamper yourself and in a few days I’m sure you’ll be feeling back to the game!! Hugs

E You’re officially on the dreadful tww. Hopefully you’ll find things to keep your self busy and the time to your bfp will pass fast! I’m having everything crossed for you!

AFM I’m so Impatient and I don’t really have a clue if I ovulated or when I will and this is something very rare for me. I think Metformin messed my system lol I hope it is all for a good reason. I’m CD13 and my average day of O is 12 so at this point I’m frustrated lol I know that this might sound so insensitive to the ladies who suffering with pcos and irregular cycles but this is not my intentions at all and I’m so sorry. It’s just that I’m struggling with so many things fertility wise and for so many years now that the only thing I was proud of and in peace with was my super regular cycle and O day... now I’m so confused!

Alex- I am wanting to test now but have to wait until Friday when payday rolls around.
AFM it's cycle day 24 and 12dpo. Been drinking a lot of chocolate milk, something else I craved when I was pregnant with my daughter. Having chills again this morning. My daughter is back to laying on top of my stomach.

Thank you ladies for all the support. There is only one person in friends/family that know we are trying and have been for a year so it is really nice talking with you ladies. People around me are getting/have gotten pregnant very quick so they can't relate nor be empathetic. A good friend of mine will sneeze and be pregnant so she tied her tubes (she only wanted 2 kids).

@E_Massey yess lol I definitely do indulge and have a drink or 2 when AF shows. I only feel down for a little bit and then, like you, pick myself back up. Hoping your tww shows promising symptoms!!

@Hberry cant wait for you to test
