@callmecrazy- what symptoms do you feel or have? i know what you mean i keep looking at the calendar counting my dpo and now on the TWW website reading everyone symptoms and trying to compare and then getting discouraged that i don't have what they are feeling! LOL.

But nothing new today temp 98.25, creamy cm and stretchy somewhat (not like underwear noticeable just when i wipe) Never had this much before in any previous cycle so its got me thinking, 3 dpo i had what was white ew thought missed O day. but temp high and neg opk that day. Tried but not sleepy, just say lazy!! dont want to do anything,. Hopefully this weekend will keep my mind off things for a couple days. going to see my friends new baby tomorrow so that should boost my baby fever more! lol

Beaut1ful - my symptoms are watery/creamy CM. It feels like its dry but then comes in gushes. I'm also super tired.

Telltale sign for me as I approach AF is the way CM increases. I feel like I'm starting AF and when I run to the bathroom there's no AF. I also get SUPER emotional around 7PDO. With the surro twins I cried because hubby bought me a new embroidery machine, and then I cried because I might not be pregnant. With my last pregnancy I was crazy moody.

callmecrazy- that is sign for me when AF is approaching, watery cm and one day of ewcm. But im usually very lil creamy like have to get up in there to check or im sticky. this time its just watery and creamy cm today had a lil strechy to it. i dont get this way till 2-3 days before af, im more than a week away. i hope its good news for us!!

@dragonfly I prefer the dip strips, they are cheaper and easier to see the progression of line. I've only ever used Wondfo brand from Amazon.

@callmecrazy. I remember with my last cycle I got the watery creamy cm. With my last pregnancy, I had a TON of creamy cm.

Question for you ladies. What is more beneficial? Astroglide or Pre-seed? I picked up another box of Pre-seed as I am almost out and then I saw the Astroglide and was curious as it was a little cheaper.

@Patience820. I got my strips from Conceive Easy as I went them to get pregnant the first time. Sadly it is taking me a lot longer this time to conceive as I have been taking them for about 5 months now.

Thanks for the welcome ladies! I love how active this board is!

Dragonfly23 - I would agree to take today's temp and see how it compares (I'd be more likely to pitch it though, it's not just the movement that can change it, once we are no longer in REM sleep, everything starts to "wake up" (heart rate, breathing rate and body temp). When I was temping and had a really crazy work schedule, it would just take it as soon as my eyes were open and was not too concerned about the time.

Patience - I totally agree and have used the internet cheapie dip strips (I am in Canada so I usually will be Accumed one). I like to track the progression and when the test line starts to get darker I'll start doing 2 a day to catch the surge. I have actually used them while I was cycle monitoring with an RE and they were completely accurate for me.

Beautiful - I think anything out of the ordinary is a good sign!!!

callmecrazy- how are you not taking one home of everything! That would totally feed my baby fever! lol

As for me, I am 12dpo. I had a couple dull achy cramps throughout the week (not really new), but felt a sharp pains right in the middle of my uterus last night, which is new, so maybe that's something. I meant to test this morning, but completely blanked. Will test tomorrow with a cheapie, we have our review with our RE on Monday and beta on Tuesday, so will know soon anyways!

Happy weekend everyone!

I had a temp dip today at 5dpo. I usually have implantation dip at 6dpo. I’m praying this is it!!

Fingers crossed for you callmecrazy! Do you mind if I ask how long you have been ttcing?

Toolong- we started in spring and got pregnant in April, but miscarried in June. This is our first cycle since that we actually hit the dates right. Last month he didn’t make it home in time.
We tried for several months in 2012 but I moved on to be a surrogate when we didn’t conceive.
