First time TTC; going crazy!
Hello all, I have found this site while going crazy during this two week wait. I am inexperienced with symptoms and waiting and what to expect...I would appreciate anyone's advice...
My LMP was 2/11, I'm sure I ovulated between 2/25-2/27...I began with breast heaviness & soreness on 2/28 which is unusual for me to start with that early before AF. And it as continued - still sore boobs/swollen. I have noticed I've been a little more tired; requiring a nap the other day and going to bed earlier. And finally, on 9 or 10 DPO, (yesterday) I started with some dull lower abd cramping/pressure on & off all day... I have tested the last couple days because I am so impatient!!!! And obviously BFN... I know it is too early... Does it sound like I may have a chance?? Maybe I'm making up these symptoms?? AF is due 3/11... and I'm thankful for working 12 hour shifts the next couple days to distract myself! Please advise!!!

AshleyLauren!!! So exciting! I'm so happy to see so many announcements lately! Hoping mine will happen this week, but not getting my hopes up...
11dpo, felt really hopeful last week - exhausted, headaches for days, sore bbs, bloated wayyyy too early for AF, dizziness for several days, slight cramping & spotted on Thursday (right in line with potential implantation bleeding). Bbs aren't as tender today, dizziness went away a day or two ago, still having headaches & bloating... I'm starting to think AF is just getting back to a normal schedule after being on BCP for 13-14 years, so she's obscenely early this month. Thinking I will test tomorrow morning or Wednesday. FX - this would be the perfect month for us... 3rd anniversary is Wednesday & I'd be due right before my birthday...

hurrayyyy, i always knew u will be the first in this forum Ashley. so happyfor u , u would think i was the one pregnant. wishing u all the very very best. relax but dont forget the rest of us in this forum
Update here. am CD 64, STILL NO AF. i feel helpless and resigned to my fate until we get to see the specialist on the 28th. my mom is already getting worried too, since i am an only child and she tried but couldnt concieve after me, my mom had me at 26. i am 28 and already trying for a yr. but we are still positive, not letting that history stop us
All the best ladies. H n H 9 months Ashley, tell ur bean to tell my bean to come to me!!!

Good Morning Ladies
I figured I would jump in to this thread. I am also TTC #1 and have been trying to do so since March of this year. I am currently 12DPO, hoping and praying AF dosent show this month. I actually "O" on my anniversary so this would be a HUGE gift.
Congrats to all the ladies that just got BFP!!! How exciting! Good luck to all the ladies still waiting to test. coming your way!!

Hey Ladies - just an update since I posted several weeks ago - never did get my period this month but all tests were negative (yup, there were more than one...couldn't help it!!) Which has made TTC this cycle very difficult since I had no idea when I was Ovulating...should have bought an OPK. I have an appointment on Aug 16 to start getting a work up to make sure everything is working as designed...just called today to see if they want my husband to do any testing before my appointment or if we will do it after. Haven't heard back yet. I know 5 months isn't a long time to be trying, but I'm getting frustrated and feeling like its not going to happen. :(

Hey there ladies. I was hoping to be checking in here and there to see how everyone is doing, but I have some news.
We lost the baby. In a matter of a week, I was pregnant, not pregnant and coping with a loss. It has been crazy. I started spotting around 4w4d for two days. On the morning of 4w6d, I woke up cramping just like I do when AF is on her way. Then the bleeding started. I already had an appointment to see my OB, so I figured it would just give the confirmation since I already knew.
My first beta numbers finally came in. They were a fucking 10. Excuse my language, but that is so horrible at that point in the pregnancy. The nurse tried sugar coating things even though I was cramping/spotting at my beta was technically "not pregnant' considering where you go. However, the doctor before she even mentioned miscarriage or chemical pregnancy, said I would be getting my period.
That was on 8.1.13. It was horrible, but my husband, friends, & family were super supportive. We are grateful we can get pregnant and also that it happened sooner rather than later.
I had another psychic reading, and she said I'd get my BFP this month. I really hope she is right again. I have been obsessing researching fertility after CP, and it seems the window occurs before my next cycle. Fingers crossed again. This ish is cray!
Hope all is well with you ladies!

Ashleylauren...I'm soooo sorry to hear about your cp. that must have been horrible to go through! I'm very hopeful that your reading is right again for this month. Sending sticky vibes your way.
Quick update on me.. I'm 6dpo. I started taking pregnitude this cycle to help regulate my ovulation and strengthen my egg. I also ordered my husband some maca root for him to take. It can increase sperm count and mobility. Women can also take it bc it regulates hormone imbalances but I won't be taking it bc I have hypothyroidism and take synthroid so I don't want to mess with that. I'm really hoping that SOMETHING works this cycle. Getting frustrated after 8 months of trying. I feel it will come in good time though. Trying to keep my head up.

Hi AshleyLauren! I am so so sorry to hear about your loss :( you are going to be stronger because of this...both you and your husband. Also, super positive to have your husband support you the way that he has... you guys will get through this!!! I also read and heard many stories from friends and family that after a miscarriage, your hormones are that much more heightened and you have a better chance of getting pregnant. The success stories I have heard were within one to three months from a miscarriage of getting pregnant. I wish you and your husband the best of luck and I'm SURE that it will happen very soon for you!!!
Goodluck and
