Hi! I am now at 14 dpo (took a cheap dollar pt test at 13dpo and it was bfn). I was in complete shock as I have never been more certain in my life that I was pregnant! My chart was completely different than any other. My temps were/have been higher than ever & I had two dips that I've never had before. At the same time as the first and second dip at (8&10dpo) I also had strong pinching/twinges as well as extreme fatigue (felt like I got hit with the flu out of no where but it was gone the next two days (never threw up). Since then I've had a few bouts of severe nausea. My cm has been really thin like (watery/liquids) creamy and in abundance. And my temp is still above coverline and no sign of af. But I'm really worried since I got a bfn at 13dpo even though it was on a cheapie. I really thought this was it. I have one test left that I am going to wait a while to take. I'm going to see if af shows tomorrow or the next day then go from there.
How has everyone else been? Congrats on your bfp!!

.... So say I have a 28 day cycle and I usually ovulate on cd 14 and I always start my period 14 days after I ovulate which gives me a 14 day luteal phase. This cycle I had a 38 day cycle for some reason (could have been stress or many other factors) so in my eyes it looked like my period was 10 days late because I should have started on cd 28 but instead I started on cd 38. But what really happened is I ovulated 10 days late. Instead of ovulating on cd 14 I didn't ovulate until cd 24 and therefor still had a 14 day luteal phase. If you begin charting, within a couple months you'll understand your particular cycle and you'll always know what cd you ovulate on and youll learn how long your luteal phase is so therefor you will always know when exactly to expect your period or a positive pregnancy test. Hope this helps!! ????

Could you have possibly ovulated later than usual? You'd be surprised at how easy stress, traveling and MANY other thing so can cause us to ovulate later than usual or have wacky cycles! I've had it happen and I even chart. How did you confirm ovulation? Do you temp, check cervix, Cervical fluid, etc? It sounds like to me that you ovulated late this cycle. The proliferative phase is from the first day of our full on period until ovulation and the luteal phase is from ovulation until Aunt Flo arrives. What many women do not know (especially women that do not chart) is that our proliferative phase can be different from cycle to cycle but our luteal phase is almost exact and extremely regular every cycle. So technically women's periods are not "late" when their period starts at a later date than usual or their cycle is longer than usual. They actually ovulated later than usual but still only had say a 15 day luteal phase....

Actually a lot of women are very surprised because they usually have a ton of pregnancy symptoms until that one month they have none and think that they are not pregnant due to the non existent symptoms only to find out that they are actually indeed pregnant so hang in there hun!! Try taking a test! A lot of women can get positives by now but if you don't get one don't be disappointed because many women don't get a positive until anywhere from 15dpo to 21dpo or more! Lots of baby dust & wishing you luck that this is your month!

So i am new to this website and I just wanted to make a post to find other women in similar situations as me (cycles, Ovulation day, TWW, etc). I have been ttc for over a year now and have recently started taking some vitamins and such to hopefully give us a better chance. I'm in my fertilize window now and guessing that ovulation will be on or near November 15. I'd also like to have someone to share the tww with. I'll be a nervous wreck and it would really help to calm my nerves and help the time go by if I have someone else to go through it with. Here's to hoping & praying that this will be our month!!! ????????
Baby dust to you all!!!
