WhileImWaiting: That sounds like a good sign! Best of luck to you and hoping that dream comes true!

Hello all,

I'm hoping and praying so hard that this is my cycle! If we conceive this month, my EDD is October 13th...

DH and I have been TTC for almost 8 years now, with one loss.

Sticky baby dust to all!

Sounds like lots of good vibes on here. I'm hoping that all of those in the TWW are going to get good news soon! I had a positive opk 11 days ago so I think I'm 9-10 DPO. BFN This morning and evening so I really think I'm out this month. Moving on to month 9 of TTC. It's been getting harder to stay optimistic, but I'm trying! I really hope that we see some BFPs soon!! Baby dust to all!!!!

Basia - yep, I freak out all the time, one day I am over it, the next day I cry when I see a baby. Right now my attitude is just "meh" b/c it's been so long. I don't use any monitors, but I will swear by either Wondfo or Answer brand opks, no other ones have worked as well for me.

While - my older stepdaughter told me she had a dream that I was pregnant, I took that as a positive sign.

I assume I have o'ed several days ago. Have been getting regular cramping similar to pre AF cramping since. Today was pretty bad, 3 times during the day, brief but intense.

molldoll411 - Def. stay positive and hang in there. It took us 9 months when we were TTC #3. I remember getting down and stressed out. It was really hard.

@Basia - I don't use a fertility monitor but I do use OPK test strips. They are cheap and I think pretty accurate.

Anyone testing soon? I guess I'm 3 DPO today - one day more than yesterday. Ha. I may test for the first time next Tuesday.

I had a major meltdown at work this morning. Too bad it's too early for me really say that is remotely related to a possible pregnancy symptom. (-:

WhileImWaiting: I am a pretty early tester and thinking of starting this weekend haha. I have a bunch of cheap tests so why not? I am counting today as 4 DPO. I am going on a short cruise this weekend for a work event but I think I'll bring the tests with me. Wouldn't expect anything until at least Monday but I like to be sure.

@hisladybug thank you so much for your kind d words. I still haven't gotten AF so I might test once more tonight. I'm still hopeful that we will conceive within 12 months. I've been eating really healthy and losing weight too so that should help out. My gyn is not concerned yet so we will just keep on trying!

I am at 5 DPO and thinking to test at 12 DPO - Tuesday (if I make it till then)
I might do one test on Sunday
I am using OPK as well but was just wondering if the anybody uses the monitor and if it is better.... I got lots of the OPK on e-bay and they do seem to work but I will do anything to increase my chances :)

Basia: You have more patience than me! I got some OSOM tests from my mother in law. Not sure how sensitive but I know they are the same ones used in doctor's office. I want to test this weekend but it might drive me crazy because even if I got a positive there is nothing I can do while on a boat haha. Maybe I'll hold out til Monday..
