Hey Tree Hugger

I'm only 3dpo, so 4 days behind you but would love a TWW buddy if you'll have me?

I also have/had endometriosis (had it removed 6 months ago and praying it doesn't come back, but I'm not naive) I had my mirena removed 4 weeks ago and had no AF since, just a small removal bleed for 2 days after. I had AF with mirena and was due AF on the 14th but funnily enough I actually ovulated around then... bizzare. So here I am, 3dpo not overly hopeful (well I say that but secretly I keep thinking "what if" and oooh that's different)

What's your experience of endo been?

I start Clomid next cycle if this doesn't work. Nervous.

Have you any symptoms so far this cycle? I've had weird cramps but don't know if that endo/hormones from mirena or what :/ haha

Let me know all about this cycle for you :) Praying you get your

Em x

I'm 6 dpo today. This waiting game is seriously torture. Do you know when you're going to test? I'm trying to hold off to see if AF shows up, but I say that every cycle and then end up testing at 8 dpo like a crazy person.

Hi Ladies! I'm 7DPO, trying for my first. This is my second cycle of OPKs and consistent BBT'ing, but we've been trying on and off for several months.

This TWW is driving me crazy too! It's pretty much all I can think about. I'm really trying not to read into or focus on my symptoms (which may or may not be imaginary), but it's hard not to!

ELG, I've had weird cramping/pressure for the past few days too.

DDsMom, I keep telling myself I'll wait until I'm late to test, but sure enough, I tested today at 7DPO, like a crazy person! I can't seem to help it!

When are you guys due for AF and when do you plan to test?

Hey DDsMom, i think we're all guilty of that How are you feeling today?

Hey Jane Doe I'm only 4dpo but also trying for my first How long is your LP usually? I hope to not test until next week, perhaps Wednesday if I can hold out! I think it'll depend on how I'm feeling, if I'm feeling like AF is coming I might be able to hold out until then at least!
Have you still got weird cramps? Mine aren't so noticeable today and my Cm has dried up which isn't good but it's early days yet. How are you feeling today?

Em x

My Luteal Phase was 10 days last cycle, and that's really the only cycle I know it for sure on because prior to that I was letting the Glow app estimate my ovulation date. It seems about right, though, because my cycles are usually only 24-25 days long, and I Ov'd on CD14 this month. 10 days is pretty short, but I'm trying not to stress out about it until I need to. How about you?

Not much on the symptoms front today. My weird cramps are much less noticeable today, but still there.

Maybe the dried up cm is a good sign for you! I have more CM than usual and googled it of course, and the results I found were mixed reviews of whether dry vs creamy/heavy cm is an early sign.

Hey Jane. You got a tad ahead of me this cycle. We were close together last month. I am 2dpo today. I used opks for the first time. I had positives for about three days. Only had what I would consider fertile cm one day and then finally had a neg opk about 24 hours later. We BD O-3, O-1, O, and O+1 assuming I am properly pinpointing the O day. I didn't do temping though I probably should have. I have just been so busy taking 6 hours of college courses along with teaching school everyday. Crossing my fingers. Hoping the best for all of you ladies as well.

So, I've spent all day thinking I'm 8 dpo, just to finally remember that I'm only 7 dpo, lol. Had a big temp drop yesterday and some spotting today so of course I'm thinking "Implantation!", but I've had both of those things happen before just to have AF show up anyway so I'm trying not to read in to it too much (yeah, right). Fingers crossed for all of us!!

Hey Rainer,

Gosh, you sound like you have a super busy life at the moment :D Is it helping to distract you from the TWW? Sounds like you with perfect timing. Hopefully you'll get your this cycle

DDsMom, ooooh that sounds so promising Let us know how your temps are tomorrow , hopefully they shoot up! Have you had any symptoms? Cramps with implantation?

Jane Doe, I've heard that plenty of CM is a great sign so hopefully this is it for you Have you had any new symptoms? When will you test? Hope you have no typical pre-af symptoms.

AFM, my LP is usually 13-14 days so I'm really only in the beginning. I had a bit of a restless night, DH was tossing and turning with his asthma and kept waking me. My temps were super high then this am but I'm thinking that's prob from the restless night. 98.62!! Bonkers high for me. I'm crampy again, that seems to happen me most in the morning and evening. I definitely don't feel pregnant yet, but I know it's early days. With my only pregnancy (ended in MC) I had crazy vivid dreams, my bbs DIDN'T get sore (they always do before AF) and I had snot like CM (tmi - sorry) so still waiting to have any of those symptoms again but unfortunately nothing yet.

Let me know how you are all feeling today

Hi ELGtrying,
Temps shot right back up, and no more spotting today. I did have some light cramping yesterday, but that's not unusual for me. I'm feeling cautiously opptimistic.

I'm probably going to end up testing tomorrow (9dpo), even though I promised myself I wouldn't. Self control goes out the window at this point in the TWW! How's everyone else doing? Any new developments?

Hi Ladies.

Welcome back to the TWW, Rainer. I got a bit ahead of you because I have short cycles. Sounds like you timed the BD'ing perfectly!

Em, that high BBT definitely sounds like the result of a restless night. I have a good feeling for you this month, and I agree that it's probably too early to have any symptoms :-)

I don't "feel pregnant" at all anymore, but we'll see! Hubby told me a couple of days ago that he thinks I'm pregnant. I don't know what would make him say that, but he's never had that feeling before, so I'm taking it as a good sign!

I'll be testing again tomorrow at 9dpo too, DDsMom. Good luck!!!
What brand of tests do you use? I have 1 FRER left, 1 Dollar Store test, and a bunch of internet dip strips that came along with the OPKs I ordered from Amazon. Thank goodness for the internet strips. Those FRERs are pricey (although more sensitive, I guess)!

I hope everyone is doing well today. :-)
