...I'm 6DPO today and feeling nothing out of the ordinary! AF due Oct 2nd, but hoping she doesn't show!!

Hello Ladies!

I spent the better part of today catching up on all that I've missed for the past week.

Congrats to all those who got their BFP's!! A very to all of you

For those the got...I'm soo very sorry (unless you've been waiting for it for too long, then I say Hoorayy for the next cycle!)

For those who are in the TWW

AFM..1 dpo I think, and that is all...lol. Vacation ended too soon. Wishing I was back on the beach relaxing. I messed up my temping and my opk's while on vacation so I'm just gonna go with the flow and hope that we bd'd enough. I wanted to get one last one in since I had some o cramping yesterday afternoon but dh was way too far under the weather I couldn't push him without feeling bad. It was bad enough that he felt horrible that he felt horrible. lol. I just knew that it wouldn't be good for him. We'll see how he's feeling today and hope that the egg might still be hanging around

6dpo, so tempted to test but i know it will only bring dissappointment. only symptom so far is some nausea but i think i might have some kind of virus or something because it is way too early for that symptom. will probably test by the weekend though even though i told myself i would hold out until oct. 5

I didn't realize how many cycle buddies I had on this forum. Yay! :)

6 dpo today.... This afternoon I started have stretching/pulling/cramping feeling. Not sure what that is all about. Hoping it is a good sign tho :)

Hey all
CONGRATS to all the BFPS!!!!

I have been trying to keep up with all the posts but there's a lot!!!

Nothing good to report here:

DH did his second SA and results are worse so he has to see a Male fertility specialist in Boston, count is fine, motility is bad, abnormal sperm count is high, they are deformed. I don't know when that appt will be yet.

I am still having ultrasounds. Follicles are suppose to grow 2mm per day. Thursday 9/19 I had 1 follicle on my right side that was at 9mm, I went in on 9/23 and that same follicle was at 14.1mm, The nurse said that there is no guarantee that I will ovulate this cycle. The follicle is growing by maybe 1mm per day. It is currently CD 19 and I have another ultrasound on Saturday. There is very little hope that we will conceive naturally. There is no medical reason why my body is slow to make a mature follicle or if it will even mature. Depending on the Ultrasound results Saturday, If the follicle is gone then they will do the 7 day progesterone draw if the follicle is still there but not growing then no more testing this cycle and wait for AF. I have been having a very hard time trying to wrap my head around the fact that there is a pretty good chance I will never get pregnant. Right now it's looking like IVF might be our answer.

Anyone ever experience a warm/hot sensation in their lower abdomen during TWW? I'm not running a fever, and I do not otherwise feel hot. I also do not feel the least bit "sick."

This "symptom" started about 24-hours ago as cramps (felt like AF cramps - although AF not due for 9-10 days), and has morphed into a very warm sensation (somewhat less crampy) throughout today. (cramps kind of come and go, but the overwhelming feeling at this point is the heat sensation).

I'm not exactly sure when I ovulated this month, so I don't know my DPO. The only thing close to a positive OPK was 2 days ago (pic in my gallery). Although I didn't test for a few days due to travelling, so I could've missed the surge. It's CD19. AF due on Oct. 3rd.

I searched a bit online, and the only other explanation I'm seeing for this issue is a UTI or bladder infection. However, it does not burn when I urinate, so I doubt I have a bladder infection.

I'm new to TTC, but I feel I'm going to be bad about symptom spotting... Any ideas?

Keep your chin up Lacey!
It will happen. Naturally or not!
Obtaining answers is a very good start!
Having faith and hope is a must :o)

@Lacey - don't count yourself out! They are doing amazing things now with IVF, and I know of so many couples who have great success with it. My fingers are crossed that you get your BFP soon!

After 3 years of TTC, almost 2 years on fertility drugs (the past 12 months on Letrozole), 2 m/c's in the past 10 months (Dec and May).... I am 11 dpo. I took an HPT last night just for a base test... there was a faint line. Took another this morning, still a very faint line and not many symptoms other than just feeling like something was off with me. I was so stressed this morning over some stuff that was going on in my husband's family all I could do was cry... FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT! I called my RE and requested a beta blood draw, the results came back this afternoon... I am pregnant. And for me only being 11 dpo she said it is a strong positive! I am at 19.59 and she told me that they want it to be 50 on the first day after a missed period... which is still 5 days off!

Of course, I am extremely nervous and on edge but all we can do is pray that the third time is the charm for us.

Just wanted to update everyone.

I am praying for each and everyone of you.

Best news of the day
Congrats!!!
We could not be happier for u!!!!
H&H 9 months sweetie!
