@Prayingfor1 -- I hope so, too. Worst that will happen here will be flash flooding as we're in the mountains. The last hurricane I went through I was actually living in Savannah. I believe it was Isabelle. I was alone in my house while my roommates were on Spring Break from school and I had no internet, no TV, and no radio. Just me and the cat. It was pretty scary. Never want to go through it again. But, I hope you, your family, and your fur babies stay safe. Really scary stuff. I'm watching the coverage live on TWC and it's ridiculous.

Good morning all. I trust everyone slept well. My temp has finally came out of groundhog day and gave me a temp of 98.3. I didn't sleep too good and kept waking up but I am like that every night. Sucks being a light sleeper.

Good luck to anyone testing today and sending bany dust to any newcomers.

@Burn2ash- I can't imagine the fear that going through a hurricane alone would cause me. I could not have done it. We made it through it ok. Still have lots of wind gusts, fence is down in some areas, had a section if gutter ripped off, tree limbs on our house but we seem to be ok. Of course I had to take the dogs out on leashes and the puppy decided to run around like a lunatic and wrenched my shoulder that has already had 2 surgeries so I'm in some serious pain at the moment....

@dragonfly23- I'm sorry to hear you didn't sleep well. Groundhog day ending must be a relief though.

@Prayingfor1. Yes, so glad that it has gone up. You were talking about your symptoms previously and I don't remember seeing the topic on the white patches on your one nipple there. I am glad that the weather are starting to easy down a bit, hopefully the wind will ease up a bit for you.

@Prayingfor1 -- Definitely scary to go through by yourself, but, I'm glad you guys made it through. Did your roof make it through relatively in tact? I know you had mentioned the big branches falling on your roof. You also mentioned your front yard under water. Hope none of that made it into your home. Talk about a mess . I assume you're more inland? I'm sorry about your shoulder. I'm sure the rain isn't helping with that. When it rains, my tendonitis flares and I know it's something that triggers joint pain in others.

@dragonfly23 -- Glad to hear about your temp! I know that was a bit frustrating. Any other unusual symptoms? Only about a week to wait for us! for me is the 17th (or supposed to be). Fingers crossed!

So, my temp shot up another 2 points this morning. 97.6 is super high. Headache, nose stopped up, and sore throat. Again, I rarely get allergies this time of year, so not sure what that is about. Although, the backlash from the hurricane could be messing with me. Not sure. Super hungry this morning. It's rare for me to be hungry in the morning. i eat a lot of protein and very little carb, so I'm usually able to go 16-20 hours without getting hungry. Also, had to wake up within 2 hours of falling asleep last night to pee...wth? My skin is finally starting to chill out, but my boobs are killing me now and I'm retaining water like the Hoover Dam. Which is really strange, because the only time I retain water like this is in the Summer, or having eaten something loaded in sodium and carbohydrates. I've done neither in the last 24 hours.

Baby dust to all!

@Burn2Ash. I remember last night going to bed after I wrote my last post and I had all sorts of gurgling noises in my belly button area (had that the last time too) but I did eat earlier so I wasn't hungry. Boobs are still a bit sore but I am unsure if they seem fuller. I am a size 32DD (depending on brand). They also seem tender under the armpit area and towards the back. Some cm discharge after going to the bathroom but not sure if that was left over semen (tmi) from yesterday. I had a craving for steak and eggs yesterday, which is very odd for me. I made my breakfast and normally I can eat just over half but I managed to eat the whole plate (not literally ) and that never happens. I did a discussion forum in the hopes of some answers on BBT temps as some say its good news and that some ended up in getting a BFP. Only a week to go for us, but I am unsure myself as CTP had my average cycle day of 26 and I am normally a 28 day so who knows what my fertile days are or when AF will show. Your symptoms look good especially if you are retaining water.

Hello ladies, hope you are all well and those affected by the awful weather are keeping safe, it's all over the news in the UK, I can't believe how destructive it is. Very scary and makes you appreciate how powerful mother nature is. I really hope the worse is over now for you all.

Good luck to all those testing and sorry for those who AF has got. You aren't out until AF comes, however late! I didn't get a bfp until cd64 due to a strange cycle and late ovulation.

@tashuurr I'm ok thanks, experiencing more stretchy cramps today and mild nausea, otherwise not too bad. Hope you are feeling ok :)

@burn2ash crazy hunger was one of my odd symptoms in the days leading to my bfp not sure if definately related but it was noticeable! Fingers crossed for you.

Thinking back to the symptoms I got, the only specific ones I can list are strong cramps and bleeding gums on 7dpo alongside several days waking in the early hours super hot having vivid dreams and unable to get back to sleep, then crazy hunger from about 9-14dpo and yellowish/brown blob of cm on 10dpo with faint bfp on 11dpo. Oh and constant bloating and stuffy nose! But I get them nearly every day anyway so not sure I would say they're symptoms ;)

Wishing lots of more bfps soon

@dragonfly23 -- I got that gurgling nonsense yesterday too! Very odd. Not gas and not hunger. It was very odd. I've had 26 day cycles before as well, but for most of my life it's been 28. My ovulation floats from CD13 to CD15 depending on the cycle, which makes it difficult for me to pinpoint as well. It's why I was just hoping me and DH caught it in time, because I'm pretty sure I did O between CD14 and CD15, but who knows! The hunger does sound promising. Though, a few years ago, I thought I might be pregnant because I was hungry all the time and it turned out to be an ulcer Crossing my fingers for you!

@GemStone2907 -- Thank you for the good vibes! This waiting is really obnoxious. The bloating/water retention and stuffy nose are really annoying as well. I hate not being able to get my rings on, or, ya know....breathe.

@Burn2Ash. You and I are very similar in our cycles as I have always been 28 days with the odd day of being early. Boobs still ache and I just noticed red dots on the areola so wonder if it is the Montgomery glands. I am never this hungry. Keeping my fingers crossed that you and DH caught the egg in time. Will have to wait it out and see how the rest of the week goes.

I hope those of you in the US are keeping safe. Hopefully the worst of the bad weather has passed.

@gemstone glad you're feeling well- besides the nause. Have you managed to get in with your dr yet? What did they say when you told them you were pregnant? Haha

My early symptoms @7dpo I had lots of pinching @8dpo I had a weird stabbing pain to right side of lower abdo and around the side to my back. I also believe it was around this time I started having vivid dreams every night. @9dpo I had lots of watery discharge and when I checked cervix I had a big blob of lotiony looking cm come out. And then at 10dpo I had the stomach pains after eating which caused me to test.
