Hey ladies just wanted to check in with you guys and see how things are going. I've been charting like crazy and very confused lol . According to my BBT I would have ovulated on CD10 which was only 3 days after AF stopped. My cervix was high and soft with sticky mucous CD8-CD10. CD11-CD14 my cervix was high and soft with creamy mucous (lots!!!) Today CD15 my cervix is medium and soft with lots of creamy mucous (TMI I know sorry). This is the first month I used OPK's and I started using them on CD10 and I got a line that wasn't hardly as dark as the control line same thing on CD11-CD12 (so I assumed they were negative). But negative (no line not even faint) since CD13. So I don't know if I ovulated this month at all. We BD on CD9 & CD 12. So now I don't know if I'm dpo5 or if I will still ovulate later. UGHHHH!!!!! My body is confusing me sooooo much.
Traci_Ann was wondering how you were. Have you seen your specialist yet? Did AF ever arrive. Will keep praying for you guys.
Zuberi_Baby2013 was wondering how things were going with you. Have you O yet??

I'm waiting on results that will tell me how many eggs I have left in reserve. After 2 failed ivf's, a tubal reversal and now this I'm feeling pretty despondent about it all. I haven't drunk alcohol or coffee in 12 months and thinking I might let my hair down a little and chill with a glass of wine!!
How many DPO are you? I hope and pray its your month. Please let me know how you go.
Sending lots of love and prayers.

Traci_Ann I pray all your test turn out well. And I say you should enjoy your glass of wine and relax and hopefully relieve some stress. I am 7dpo and have a few promising symptoms, but I'm probably just building up my hopes. But we are keeping our fingers crossed and praying for our BFP. I just recently became an Aunt again to my first nephew (I have 5 neices lol). And some friends of ours just had a little girl so we've been indulging in spoiling them lol. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. Message me if you need someone to talk to.

Hi Ladies

ok.... I'm all caught up now.

Tracie: I never did welcome you to the form but scarlet did a wonderful job. I'm praying that all goes well with all of your test as well. Keep us up dated.

Scarlet: How is your tww? Do you have any symptoms yet. I read where you said you had some that were promising.....

AFM: I had diarrhea all day yesterday everything I ate went straight threw me. My stomach hurt soooo bad. I took a hpt this am and it was neg. I went to church and when I came back home I took another one and got a very faint , I know it was not a evap because it had color. I will take another one in the am with a FRE.
BTW it was a Wal-Mart .88 test. with no hold on my urine. I will keep you guys up dated. Keep praying for me. And I will do the same for you guys.

Zuberi that's fantastic news.. Have made my day :-D sending sticky, sticky vibes. No ovulation for me this month. Have to wait for AF to arrive to go on clomid and test my tubes for scar tissue from the ligation reversal.
Did you take soy-iso?
Scarlett.. How's it going?

Good morning ladies....

Zuberi- Congrats on your BFP . I'm so excited for you. . That made my morning reading your post. Will continue praying for you and baby.

Traci- Wish you lots of luck with the Clomid. I just know your BFP is just waiting right around the corner for you. Pray that all your test turn out great and the Clomid does the trick for you.

So my TWW has seemed the longest so far. I just feel like this is our month. But then I'm afraid that I'm setting myself up for disappointment. I've been nausea since about 4DPO. Certain foods that I normally love make me sick. For instance my favoritve Subway sandwich and yesterday I fixed Fettuccine Alfredo with garlic bread and it made me soooo sick 4 bits in and I threw the rest away. The smell of bleach I can no longer stand I vomit if I smell it and that is really unusual because I use bleach to clean with everday (I'm a bit of a germ freak lol). I had mild/dull AF cramps 4DPO-7DPO. But it was way too early for AF cramps I usually don't get them till about 3 days before AF is due. I have noticed a few twinges the past couple days in my abdomen around my belly button. I've gone from constipation to diarrhea back to constipated. My CM has stayed lotiony-watery and LOTS of it which is unusual as I am usually very dry by this point in my cycle. It's so bad that my undies stay wet if I don't wear a pantyliner. Three hours after I get up and get my shower and go to work I need a nap bad!!!! I am exceptionally horny lol (TMI) not that my fiance is complaining about that particular symptom. I've heartburn a few days off and on. Headaches a few days (which is unusual for me since they started me on the Dostinex I haven't had any headaches). I've had some really strange dreams a couple nights. The only thing I've noticed with my breast is they seem/feel bigger, my nipples were sensitive for a few days but not any longer, and they've been itchy the past couple days. (When I was pregnant with my son that was the first clue that I was pregnant they were so sore I couldn't stand the water to hit them in the shower.) And the strangest thing is I've had two mouth ulcers (which I never have). But I just really feel pregnant this month but like I said I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment. I probably won't test until at least 12DPO. Sending lots of love and prayers to both of you guys keep me posted..
