Good morning everyone! Sorry I have been MIA. We have beeno off the grid for the last few days. Back to reality today. It's CD 3 for me. I ended up one day late this cycle but I'm still in the running for a March 2017 little. This round I have decided to skip temping, use my opks only and bd every other day (hubs should be a super happy guy). I am also willing myself NOT to test until I'm late. No squinting, no fretting, stress free cycle. Should be a goodtime, lol. I'm off to clean the backwoods out of our belongings and take a bubble bath. I'll check in will everything later! Btw, let's see those tests ladies! Baby dust and sticky beans!

Hi ladies! I thought maybe since you all have experienced pregnancy before I could use you as a sounding board?
Why did no one ever tell me the wait til the first dr appt is way worse than the TWW?! :)
I am trying not to drive myself crazy over analyzing every little thing. I am currently 4w1d and the past week I had lots of uncomfortable on/off dull aching cramps. They would come and go. Starting yesterday and today, I had still had some but not near as much and very very mild.
First I was concerned that I had the cramping, now I'm concerned that it seems to be subsiding. It's making me crazy! Side note: I've had zero spotting or bleeding throughout the whole process. I will say that CM is getting thicker still. Had a small dizzy spell last night when I got up to use the bathroom at 3AM. My boobs are tender, but I wouldn necessarily say they're as sore as I've always heard talked about and it's the nipple that is sore more than anything!
I am just trying to remind myself that it's still totally normal to not have many symptoms at this point and "trying" to keep myself from worrying because I know that's not good for baby either! I am just so ready for 8 week dr appt on July 21!!!! Any of you not have any big symptoms this early and go on to have healthy, beautiful babies?
I'm fighting the urge to go out and buy more HPT's even after four positives of different brands and all of them being digi's :))
Ps:: if you can't tell-- this is my first pregnancy!

Before the first appt is terrible i know !
I recommend joining pregnancy yoga. Helps keep you centered, calm and most of all your mind off of what you worry so much about. And you will find some great women to talk to whom I'm sure have similar worries or who have already passed that point.
Good luck to you sugar!

LAAR you are totally normal!!! The tww is agony, the wait for docs is agony...then it's a massive anti-climax because you're already thinking about the next appt. The worry and the symptoms (and the worry about the symptoms - or lack of them) will never stop until you hold the baby. And then you worry about the baby until....wait, you worry about your child FOREVER!
I had lots of cramping during my first pregnancy. Don't worry about it unless it's really painful, or you start bleeding and the bleeding continues and increases.
Just rest up when your body tells you (and it will). x

Thanks so much!
AJ: I think I worried more once the cramping started to ease up than when it was in full force. I am just super thankful I haven't experienced any spotting or bleeding otherwise I would really make myself a basket case. I've read several places that most people don't get any serious symptoms til 6-7 weeks so I am telling myself to be calm and enjoy the no symptoms for now! Just needed some mental support! And I know you are so going to be right about it being on going worry......That will go on long after my baby is in my arms :))
