Ladies,

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Feeling a little crampy this morning, which is a little unusual. Also my bbt dipped big time, but that could be because I took my temp after getting out of bed. I usually have low body temp anyway, never getting above 97. If my temp is 98.1, I have a fever. So, not sure if the bbt is helping me pinpoint anything.

A little lower back pain and girls are a little sensitive, but not sure if it's more than usual. Also, so belly gurgles and gas. :sigh: Guess I just need to wait a few more days for implantation signs. I'm trying not to stress too much about it; I hate being disappointed.

@Prayingfor1 -- I'm watching Irma as well. It's a monster. Biggest storm since Labor Day 1935 with 185 mph winds. Be very safe and if they tell you to get out, get out, lest another Houston happens. I'm up in VA and we usually get some backlash from the Atlantic FL storms too, especially when they travel the coast. Prayers for you and anyone else that is in the path of this thing. Keep us posted if you can.

Dragonfly, hopefully it's just post-O pains and secretions for you. As for me, if this was a 40 day cycle, I would be around 12DPO and CD 39 and it would be unusual for me to spot so lightly that soon - two days - before AF. I hope it's just implantation or something related.

Burn2Ash, feeling a little disappointed myself. Let's not let it get the best of us!

@patience820 I see it! Congrats girl! How exciting! What is your due date?

@prayingfor1 hope you and family remain safe during this terrible weather.

@mrsbutler. Yes, let's hope so too. I did manage to check my cervix and it was moist and a bit lotiony and still having minor cramps. Like that one girl said, maybe I ovulated earlier than usual. Let's hope it's not the same outcome as last month as it was so promising. But last month, I didn't have any breast tenderness and this month I am. Hmm... Let's hope for you it is implantation and that it doesn't get heavier.

Dragonfly, I have my fingers crossed! Haha I'm hoping it's a good thing since its only noticeable when I check my cervix.

I've only ever spotted right before I get a full on flow and there's usually heavy cramping with it.

Oh, and I would upload a pic but I've broken the camera lens on my phone.

@mrsbutler. Oh that sucks; was gonna suggest your camera phone till I had to go back and re-read the response again lol. Got winded when I was climbing up the stairs today and still cramping and feel moist down there. I've never had spotting really as once it starts, then it gradually goes from there.

Sending lots of love and thoughts of you affected by the awful hurricanes in the states, stay safe

Sounds like some good symptoms happening ladies, hopefully there will be more bfps in the next few days!

Dragonfly, forgot to say that sometimes I get sore breasts after O and sometimes I don't. I got sore breasts a couple of days ago which is new for me, I either get them right after O or not at all. The pain goes away right when AF starts and they still hurt. Really hope it's a good thing...

AF does usually start full blast with horrible cramps for me as well, I've only noticed spotting a few hours prior to full flow a couple of cycles in the last few years.

When did you think you O'd? Sorry I'm on my phone at the moment and it gets a bit annoying to keep trying to go back and forth through the comments and reply page.

@mrsbutler. Based on my WomenLog app that I use, I was supposed to ovulate on Sept 6. My DH and I BD on Sunday. My temps yesterday and today are the same (97.9) with Sept 6 being at 97.6. I know what you mean by going back and forth. I found that there is a last response button, so I use that instead of having to go through all the comments again. I used to cramp the day before my period starts and I used to have to take pills to make the pain go away, but since I had my daughter I hardly get bad cramps.
