Hi Rebecca & everyone,
15dpo. I get AF sometime during this day. Usually in the morning, but last cycle it was b4 bed. No temp drop as of yet, but that could come tomorrow morn in that case the dreaded won't be too far behind, lol. Only time will tell. :-)
Glad to hear everyone is well!

Hi girls,
17dpo, ovulated on day14 (1 day later than I usually do). Having symptoms, no sign of AF, but neg test at 5:00am this morning. Never been more than 1day late in whole life (except when pregnant).
Also never had a positive HPT with 2 (& only) pregnancies previously as hormones didn't show up til I had a blood test at Drs 1-11/2wks past AF due date.
Made the appt to see Dr next Wed. That would put me at day 40 or 26dpo. I'm sure I'll know b4 then what's happening. Plz cross fingers & send lots of baby dust!!

Well, the showed up this morning with vengeance :-(
I've never been more than a day late, but I imagine it was all the stress we encountered this month. DH's mom passed away right during ovulation time 21/2-3wks ago so I imagine this could have been the cause.
Oh well, chin up I guess :-(

Glad to find others around my age. I'm 43 and my husband is 50. I have two adult children from a previous marriage and my husband has none
This is our 2nd and final try. We had a BFP in December but miscarried at 6 weeks. We transferred 3 of my own eggs this time (last was 2). I am pretty sure I"m pregnant. I was really light headed last time and it is the same for this time. Every time I stand up I'm lightheaded.
My blood test is on Monday 16 DPO but am going to cave in this time and take a HPT this Thursday or Friday...or probably both days because I'm crazy like that :)
The TWW this time is a lot harder because I know this is our last chance. I'm trying to take it a day at a time because if we are pregnant I still won't be completely comfortable until at least the 2nd trimester. The things we put ourselves through!

Bettyboopta2 - I'm sorry, dear! That's tough. Hopefully the stress from last cycle is gone now. Praying for you.
Kwertley - welcome, and good luck! Let us know how things go for you. I totally understand the pressure of wanting to get that first trimester behind you. I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and still have anxious moments, but thankfully they're getting fewer and fewer.
lwilliams & zuberi - how are you ladies?
If I missed anyone, I'm sorry. I hope everyone is well.
My dh has been gone since Tuesday to visit his brother and his new baby in NC. He comes back home tomorrow around lunctime - I can't wait! It's hard being apart. Thank goodness our vacation starts right after Easter services....a whole week of just being together without worrying about anything else!

Hi everyone.... I had posted that I was done but DH and I were going through a stressful rough patch and felt on the verge of divorce. We've been working out the issues and making things right. ALOT of stress with owning a business etc and money always causes fights. It's been rough but we fought to find strength.
Anyway... I took a few days off but I couldnt stop temping. We just left it in God's hands and if it's going to happen, it will. I think it was stressful for him to "perform". Which I can understand and so we just let things happen. So right now I'm 16dpo and still no AF. I keep feeling like she's coming, but nothing other than ALOT of watery cm. The longest LP I've had is 14. I havent tested yet but I may with the SMU this morning. I have a fear of seeing a bfn. I'm bloated bad, lower back ache, dizziness, legs feeling weak and crampy. I wasnt holding out hope for this month at all.. but now..there's a twinge of hope. I just dont want to be hurt again. This is our 5th cycle TTC. Well.. wasn't "trying" this month really.
Any news for anyone? Anything I missed?
