Hi ladies! Ok, so I'm super frustrated now!. I'm currently 11/12dpo. My period is due in 3 days (have VERY regular 31 day cycles)... took a test this morning (BFN), checked my cervix - light pink CM, cervix is VERY high and soft. Not sure what to make of this - is AF on it's way or could this be IB? Other symptoms: Severe headaches (which I never get), sore, swollen, veiny boobs and mild cramps in my lower abdomen and exhausted. Any hope for me?

@snow when did you last test?

I took a couple of wondfos this morning and one of them I think I see a super faint line. It could be a weird test because the FRER was negative and the other wondfo didn't look the same. I don't think you can see it on the internet photo though and the dumb photo loaded sideways. ha. I will take another this afternoon.

I will see if I can get a better photo or better test later, I took that one down.

While- I got a test at the doctors today. It was a BFN. The doctor (who was really nice to me but a complete bitch to my bff) told me to wait two weeks and test again. So, I will. But I find it very weird that I still feel pregnant. Im confused.

Morning, Ladies!!! There's been a lot of posts since I was last on here.. First of all: Welcome to the newbies!

Snow: Thanks, love! I am feeling pretty good for the most part. The only symptoms I am having is sore BBs and always feel like I am starving.. Oh and time for me to hang up the tight jeans. I can still button and wear them, but I don't wanna hurt my lil bean and it kinda hurts my abdomen when I sit down.. So... You still feel pregnant?? That would be pretty awesome if you were! I have read that women that are TTC can trick their bodies into thinking they are pregnant and can have the symptoms as well. I know that sounds crazy & I am really keeping my FX that you really are pregnant!

WhileI'mWaiting: FX for you that the super faint line was a

Leigh: Your symptoms sound very promising & I believe there is plenty of hope for you! I didn't get the slightest line until 13 DPO:)

Danielle: I would def take a test just to be sure! FXFU!! Can't wait for the results! Plenty of women have some sort of bleeding during pregnancy. I did with my daughter for the 1st 3 months around the time AF would show, but it was very, very light.

Nicole: Honey, I feel your pain!! Our dog was sprayed by a skunk a few years ago and let me tell you.. IT DOESN"T GO AWAY FOR A LOOONNNGG TIME! We bathed her in every form of tomato, vinegar, regular dog shampoo, EVERYTHING. it got better with time, but when giving her a bath even a year later we could still smell it.. She is no longer with us though :( Good Luck!

Pisces: FXFU to too girl! Are you actually a pisces or do you have a child that is? JW bc I am also a pisces!

Maggie: that damn .. SO sorry..

chicago: Symptoms are promising!! FXFU.. :)

Bookish: Try testing again in the morning! I had creamy, khaki CM with a tiny streak of red blood the same day I got my .. FXFU.. :)

ABaby: Hopefully you are still in, even though you really think you are out!! FXFU, dear!! :)

***Sappy Moment***

I just wanted to say, that I appreciate all you girls very much for being so supportive with not only me, but with each other. It really makes my heart happy to know that we don't even know each other, but we are there for each other bc no one else really understands the craziness that we all go through with this journey! I think its safe to say that I have met some great friends here.. :)

Found out I'm pregnant due on April 23rd congrats all the April mommies xxx

Hi Ladies,

I know I shouldn't count myself out but sadly with another negative test it's hard for me to count it as a possibility. So basically I am just waiting for AF now. Done testing until at least Friday. But since my temp dropped this morning I have a feeling the will arrive in the next day or so. Oh well.

I don't typically test as early as I did this month...now I just feel as though I wasted my tests and money...good thing the internet ones are cheap. But I really thought this would be my month. Especially from the cluster BD'ing and certain symptoms I had on Friday and then even the one or two symptoms I had afterwards, throughout the weekend. But now I just don't feel anything except tired with a slight sore throat.

Hopefully it's still possible but definitely not counting on it either.

MaggieLA: So sorry arrived. for next month.

chicagohio: Most people with the exception of a few don't see a faint positive until at least 10 DPO. Good Luck to you!

Bookish-Mama: Looks like you and I are in the same boat...except I don't have spotting. But we both have AF due at about the same time. I have a strong feeling I am out this month. Hoping we are still in it but if not I will see you in the May board.

nicole2014: AF stays away!

So sorry to hear about the dog and the skunk. It really does suck when a dog gets sprayed like that! Is your dog OK? When I was a kid we had 2 dogs growing up and one of them got sprayed at night...my mom didn't want to deal with it and didn't think it was going to be that bad so she put both dogs in the mud room until morning when she was more awake to deal. When she opened that door...OMG! It was horrible! And now she had to not only deal with 2 stinky dogs but one of the dogs eyes was so swollen from the smell that she had to get her to the vet to make sure it wasn't infected. Let's just say I can sympathize with you...Hope you are able to get it under control soon.

WhileImWaiting: It really does suck how AF and PG symptoms mimic each other! I keep thinking that there has to be something different the month it happens and when something is different then I get excited...just to be disappointed when AF arrives. I try so hard to not symptom spot but how can you not. FX'd it happens for you this month.

piscesmama: 10 days I think is a short LP. Is AF heavy? If you know for sure that it is AF then if it happens again next month ask your doctor...you may have an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. GL!

LeighTTC#1: Of course there is still hope. Until AF arrives there is always still hope...guess I should take my own advice.

_snowwhite_: for you!!! Hope that possibility is still open for you. When my mom was pregnant with me they told her that the tests were coming back telling her she wasn't pregnant but ALL the symptoms were there...even the nurse said not to believe the tests. A couple weeks later...she got her +blood test. Hopefully it's the same for you too!

DanielleH13: Because of what I mentioned in one of my PP to Snow about my BFF...I tend to think the same thing sometimes when my symptoms still feel like I am still pregnant...I have taken tests once AF is gone just to be on the safe side. Maybe you should too. Couldn't hurt to rule it out.

Bumpin4Baby: Awww, your "Sappy Moment" made me teary eyed! Thanks! I feel the same way!

Cherry17:

Congrats Cherry!!

Lolo: Stay positive!!

Thanks for the votes of confidence Lolo and Bumpin4baby... I will be testing tomorrow morning again. I will keep you updated. I think that if I don't get my BFP this month, I'm going to do things differently next cycle and just put it out of my mind till AF shows or hopefully doesn't ;)

This is my first month TTC and the most frustrating part is seeing all the early BFPs and feeling like the chances of a BFP getting slimmer with every BFN. Feel like I'm crazy for obsessing like this.

Congrats to all the ladies who have gotten their BFPs!!! I will be praying for each and every one of you that you have a healthy pregnancy and a perfect bundle of joy! And for those who are out this month that you will get your BFPs soon! The beginning of each cycle gives us hope and another chance to conceive.

We have to find comfort in knowing that God has it all figured out and that our BFP's will come!

LeighTTC#1: Sadly putting it out of your mind is easier said than done. But if you can do that Kudos to you! This is my 17th cycle in TTC. If AF arrives in a day or so we will have reached our 1 1/2 year mark. Wish I understood why we are struggling so bad. You are right though...God has a plan. I just whatever that plan is happens real soon because I am really tired of the wait. It is definitely a stressful, exhausting and rough journey to TTC. Can't help but feel like it's never going to happen for me.

What's getting me over the possibility of it not happening this month is this is the earliest month I wanted to have a baby. Granted I am trying all year and if I am meant to have a Winter baby I would be thrilled either way. But, ideally I would prefer May through July. Would even be happy with Aug-Oct...I do love Halloween. I want to be able to have the option of having outdoor bday parties for my child and even April is a tad cool for that. However, some years have been warmer than others so if it still does happen to be this month for me I would be thrilled.

You hang in there though...You just started so hopefully it's not as rough for you.
