@Dragonfly23- I have never been a big sweets eater, and even now I'm mostly wanting fruit and Greek yogurt but some pudding sounds amazing right now.

@Beaut1ful38- I stopped temping and such a few days ago because I realized I was getting worried every time my temp would be slightly lower than the day before and I decided that I was just stressing myself for no reason. But, I am still checking my cm and cp. My cervix is still in the middle, firm and closed and although I had been having a lot more creamy cm it seems a bit less today. I think that other than to tell you when you are fertile though that cm is not very reliable. If you read online, other than that most people have an increase in amount, every pregnant woman says it's a different consistency. I will say though that the amount did not significantly increase until around (or maybe even after) I got the BFP.

@Prayingfor1. Yea they say not to temp in early pregnancy as the temps should stay elevated and it just stresses out the expectant mom to be. When I got pregnant, I was happy to not temp every day and the fact of no periods for 9 months.

@Dragonfly23- I was only still temping because I was so afraid that I would lose the baby and I guess I thought that if I had a sign that it might happen I could somehow prevent it. I know that's silly and I have gotten over that now, thankfully. In fact I am feeling really good about it now. My fiance keeps saying that nothing can go wrong because both of our families are too stubborn so therefore the baby is too stubborn to not stick. :)

Hello ladies!

Been quietly stalking this thread without saying much, because last month I got my hopes up and ended up disappointed. Thought I'd try a laid back approach.

Grats to Prayingfor1 and all the other ladies with BFPs this cycle! So happy for you all!

So far this time, I haven't had many symptoms. Mostly been tired with a runny/stuffy nose, but that could be a sinus infection. Only thing that is a little strange for me this time around is the fact that I've been bloated since 4 DPO. I'm talking MASSIVE water retention. Not sure what that is about, because I haven't changed my diet and I don't usually bloat like this until a few days from AF. Also, the fact that my boobs aren't sore; at all. I'm about 5 days from AF and boobs aren't even slightly sore or sensative. Usually by about this time, they are at least slightly tender to the touch.

We shall see, I suppose.

Well, gave it another go this morning just to clarify and BFN. Oh well, I got some time yet, so still hopeful. 9dpo today.

@Burn2ash- Thank you! The lack of usual PMS symptoms could be a good sign. It was for me. I had a bunch of other symptoms but not my usual ones.

@Patience820 - You definitely still have time! I didn't get mine until 12dpo!

Thanks prayingfor1. I should know better by now, my last pregnancy, I didn't get even a faint positive until 12 dpo and it was a squinter. So just hoping that's the same case.

Hey all, so apparently for the last two days my uterus has felt sore, tender, and bruised.... has anyone felt this way and gotten a BFP a couple days later??? I'm currently 7dpo and I caved and took a test. I know it's too early but I posted it anyways :/

@Patience820- I'm sure that will be the case. Studies have shown that the most common day for women to actually get a BFP is 13dpo.

@Vettechgirl- I'm not sure if it felt bruised per se, but I did have some slight, not quite cramps around time of implantation. It was a funny feeling. I'm not sure how to describe it or what exactly a bruised uterus would feel like. I'm sorry I can't be more help.

9DPO today, i tested today but saw a very very faint line to the point i almost can’t see it so i’m still not 100% yet! crossing my fingers????????
