For those of you wondering, I haven't had many symptoms and am (best guess) 17 dpo- although with such a faint line I think I might have ovulated a few days later. Yesterday I was super emotional and weepy. I didn't think I'd been emotional otherwise but apparently I've been pretty crabby ! Other than that, I had very slight af like cramps yesterday as well. I have also been pretty sensitive to smells, mainly tobacco, and am constantly STARVING. That's about it so far, so obviously no big symptoms doesn't mean no BFP!

So excited to get to know other mamas in the same boat. This is my first pg, not totally sure what to expect or do but will be setting up an ultrasound appointment soon. HOLY COW!!!!

@Allison1017- Congratulations! That is an amazing birthday present!

@Meplus1- I hope everything is ok and the spotting is normal. I have heard that it can be.

@Vettechgirl- I'm sorry that you keep having a difficult time with tests.

@Ruby0709- My EDD is June 9th. I had my first scan on tues and they said I was 4 days behind what my Dr though, which actually puts me right where FF said I would be based off when they said I ovulated.

@Sweetlips- I know how you feel, I stopped taking tests finally but I still keep worrying. I was so excited on tues for my scan but I was also terrified that they would see something really wrong. I'm sure it's just normal worry for both of us. Even with all of the stress my scan was fine. It was a huge reassurance. It had a great heartbeat of 120 and everything looked good. Just try to calm down for now. I'm sure it will all be fine once you get your scan.

Hi Ladies, I figured you all would understand the craziness of the TWW.

I have a 29 day cycle but ovulated on CD 19 this month. I tested today and three days ago with BFNs. I am slowly beginning to realize that I may have tested too early. However, I am constantly thirsty and falling-asleep-in-parking-lots exhausted since this past weekend which is unusual outside of pregnancy for me.

Congratulations on all the BFPs, commisseration on the BFNs, and FX to everyone still waiting to confirm.

ETA: Also, I may as well move into my bathroom, I have to pee so often!

@Prayingfor1 - I think it was just IB, cause it stopped and didn't get any worse. So that's good!

@MountainMama- How many dpo are you? I didnt get my positive until 12dpo and some of the ladies here were even later than that. I hope your symptoms are good indicators that you will get your BFP soon.

@Meplus1- I'm very glad to hear that it has stopped. I know that spotting is apparently normal in the first trimester but I didn't know you could still have IB after the BFP.

@Prayingfor1: Today is CD31 and I am now 14dpo.

Last night, I had a new sign: nipples are leaking a little. This happened in previous pregnancies around this time.

DH recommended that we test again in a few days. :)

@MountainMama- That's what made me test at 12dpo! I woke up that morning and was leaking a bit out of one nipple, when I came home from work that night I took a test and it was positive.

@Prayingfor1: I love your story! I'm sitting in the lab to do my beta hcg and progesterone right now. The nurse practitioner felt I didn't need to wait based on my symptoms and thaf urine tests failed often.

@MountainMama- Good luck with your blood work!! Let us know the results!

I'm out but still symptomatic. My hormones are strange. Hcg at lower limit of test and progesterone only 1. I will be talking with a fertility specialist and my regular doctor next.
