Hi :)
I am 5dpo today so I thought I might be close enough to join you this month.
Today I have been having a lot of mild-moderate cramping. This is the first time in 4 years ttc that I have had cramping this soon after ovulation - normally I only get it a few hours before my period starts. I wonder if it could be implantation cramping, but of course it's probably just wishful thinking.
Interesting that you are feeling so hungry. I hope it's a positive sign for you! I will keep our fingers crossed for both of us this month. Keep us updated, and I will too. Hopefully some others will join - it's nice to be able to share this LONG two weeks with other people.

I am also 5dpo today with some mild cramping, feeling hungry, and sore breast. I am TTC with my second after under-going treatment for endometriosis with Lupron injections. Lets hope its baby dust for all of us.

thanks for responding.

I think I'm about 4 dpo. Could be anywhere between 4 -6 dpo. My cycles are so irregular that it's hard to tell for me. I have just started checking my cervix and temping so no help this month with either of those. The only thing I have to go by really is that I had 3 day cramps mid cycle this month and last month for the first time ever in my life. Coincidently, I also started thyroid meds last month for hypothyroidism. I am just making my o date the day those cramps started. I have been told for years that I don't ovulate regularly. But for some reason no one ever checked my Thyroid until recently. I was on clomid with my first pregnancy but we are going to try for a few months before beginning clomid. Anyway, I wish everyone BFP's this month. So glad to have buddies to wait with. I can't wait to find out when we are expecting our little miracle.

It is so strange, that a girl in my office is expecting and i didn't get mad or disappointed, I usally do...that was weird to me....

I think it's normal to get some form of dissapointment from others who get pregnant. You have probably just got to a point where you know in time it's gonna happen for you so you can be happy for others. The support of this site def helps. :-) Who knows maybe this is our month!

thanks -

Hi everyone,
I am a little concerned because I am still getting full ferning on my maybe baby saliva microscope, even though I'm now 6dpo. I'm hoping this doesn't mean that I still haven't ovulated, because I am normally so certain when I ovulate, as I feel it happen, and it's backed up by my ferning. I wonder why I'm still getting them now?
I feel like I want to continue bding just in case, but I'm always worried to bd post-ovulation, in case it jeopardises any pregnancy that might be forming.
Today my back is killing me, and I'm no longer getting the cramping I had all day yesterday, but more just a "hot" pressure low down in my abdomen. I have no idea what could be happening this cycle, but I hope it's the lucky one for all of us.
Where are you all? I am in New Zealand.

You know Alix, I was thinking about your post and you may be in the same boat that I was. I ovulate later than I thought I was. Sometimes I don't even ovulate until the last day of my cramps... Mine have ended with the "hot" pressure you talk about for the last two months. I would bd until the day after that pressure is gone. Have you taken an OPK test to be sure of your ovulation? I did not realize that I was missing my fertile period all these months until last month. Good Luck!
