@dragonfly23 - Your symptoms sound very promising! I also had an increase in appetite, mood swings, and my boobs got huge but didn't ache. Keeping my fx'd for you!

@Allison1017 - Welcome to the group! Baby dust to you!

@Burn2Ash - I definitely think that was IB now! You just keep confirming it for me. ;) Speaking of dreams... I had a dream last night, in between tossing and turning. I was showing somebody the finished nursery (before the baby was here), and it was for a girl cause I am convinced it's a girl already. This woman, not sure if it was my mom or who, but she said "It's beautiful! HE will love it." I was like "Wait, HE? It's a boy?!" And the lady just nodded yes. I have had vivid dreams, but it just felt like this one really meant something. So now I think I should start designing a boy nursery too just in case. LOL

@ purplesummer1205 & @Beaut1ful38 -
I am doing great! By this time in my pregnancy with DS, I was bleeding like AF, but I have not even spotted so that's good. I have also had some morning nausea, and have been eating cheese and pizza everyday, and a lot of strawberry banana smoothies! I've also been super emotional/clingy to my hubby. And fatigue has set in but not like with DS. That's another reason why I think this is a girl, cause with DS I didn't have nausea and I was way more tired with him. Also, I'm breaking out all over my face.... yeah, I'm a hot pregnant mess right now! But super happy with my little rainbow inside, and praying this one sticks.

Morning ladies.

Temp dropped to 97.2 this morning, which is still higher than my usual AF temps. The spotting continues, but it is significantly lighter and still brown; no red or pink and no increase of flow. I just feel overall blah. Boobs a little sore, but nothing over the top. My headache is gone, but the head cold remains. No cramps, per se, but I've got some serious bubble gut.

due tomorrow.

Gah!

Also, I went for my beta bloodwork yesterday and don't get the results back till Thursday afternoon... more waiting. Hoping my levels are high!

@Beaut1ful38 - Good luck on your OPK testing! Hope it's + soon!

@Burn2Ash - Have you tested yet? I can't wait! The suspense is killing me!!!

@MePlus1. There really isn't much symptoms to go on lol. Still searching the web on the "no symptoms and getting a BFP" and read that there were quite a few ladies who didn't have any until they were over a month. I think when the lady mentioned "He" she was probably referring to your husband. Hard to say.

@Burn2Ash. I hope AF stays away and as long as the temp stays above the coverline.

@MePlus1 -- Thank you for your optimism. I'm still going to just wait until AF is supposed to show before wasting a test. You must have posted while I was posting my last one, because I just saw your dream. That is really interesting. I definitely believe in intuition and some people have stronger connections to the world around them spiritually. I've had too many things happen to me to be a skeptic. I'm pretty sure my first baby, which I didn't carry to term, was a boy. But of course, I will never know for sure. It was too early to know the gender definitely.

@dragonfly23 -- Thank you. I just keep hoping the damn spotting will go away entirely. It's definitely old blood. Upon internal inspection (sorry tmi) when I check my CM, I just get small brown "curds", which must be old blood tinged CM. This is different from last cycle, where the bleeding actually started pinkish brown, not full brown, then changed to red late on the second day of spotting. This is "day 3", but not a full 48 hours. The spotting starting on 11dpo at around 2PM. I'm hoping, but trying not to get my hopes up, if that makes sense.

@MePlus1 Thank you, i do think today might be it, im having bloating and ovulation cramps with mild backaches and just checked EWCM on board. So might have to run to my nearest dollar store on lunch break. Just so i can check if its pos on an opk.

@ purplesummer1205-i think your next for a BFP when do you plan on testing? i would at least wait 2 days let it build up. i know how hard that is though.

@Burn2Ash Your not out till AF shows her face though!!

@Beaut1ful38 -- Yea. But she really can be a witch. I think she hates me.

@dragonfly23 - I'm pretty sure the lady in my dream was referring to the baby. I guess we'll see....
I'm seeing a lot of symptoms when you update us! With my DS I craved red meat like crazy! For this time around, I also had the BM-like cramps and random boob aches. I know we aren't the same body, but I'm just seeing a lot of what I went through. I also felt like they didn't mean anything at the time, but it may just be your body taking a slow start at recognizing the change or not really having a big reaction to it at first.

@Burn2Ash - You're right...best to wait a little longer. I could definitely use some of your self-control! ;) I'm sorry you lost your first. You are already a mother in spirit and heart.
