Waitingonmymiracle thank you for not making me feel as though I am nuts. I really am just trying to be positive. I hope you didn't think I was being rude in my last post. I wasn't trying to be at all so if I came across that way I apologize. I was just trying to explain my situation a little. I completely understand what you were trying to say and I thank you for your help. After suffering from hyperthyroidism since the summer of 2008 I studied the negative effects it can have on my hormones because I knew I wanted one more child. Since that time I've learned a lot about it and the effect it did have on me. I diligently tracked my cycles, symptoms, menstrual bleeding and problems with my ovulation every month. During those months or actually years I've learned a lot about my body and what I was feeling. My thyroid was in pretty bad shape so it took a long time for it to return to normal and I ovulated somewhat regularly. In the last year I've made great progress and as of a few months ago I felt it was finally time to ttc. Its been a hard and long few years, a lot of hard work and, trying to remain positive about being able to conceive again. I know progesterone can cause most of my symptoms but since I know my body well I know that I'm experiencing more than just post ovulation or symptoms from progesterone. I do thank you for your help and I can see your very caring and helpful to others. I've read your topic (most of it cause its very long lol) and I can see your concern and wanting to help others. That's all I was really asking for. I wanted support and advice from other ladies that are in the or almost in the same boat as me and I'm very happy you offered thank you. I will continue to check in and wish you the best and pray that you receive your bfp very soon!

Athena8789 I just wanted to say that there is no reason to be rude what so ever. If I am wrong and took your comment the wrong way I apologize. Most of the women on this site are members because they want support, help and, sometimes just a place to vent. Other members like myself (maybe you too I don't know) have a difficult time ttc and everything that comes with it. I posted a comment on this topic because I wanted simply just other women to talk to and share this ttw with. Not for someone to tell me that if I am pregnant I wouldn't have any symptoms because implantation hasnt happened yet and my symptoms that I'm experiencing are just post ovulation. I don't know you and you don't know me so how could you possibly know where MY symptoms are coming from? Well I DO know what I experience every cycle every month every ovulation every post ovulation and so on. I found your comment to be very negative and got the feeling that you were very agitated. Why? I don't know. I was just looking for support and other women to share my ttw with. So I'm sorry you felt I was being rude if that is why. I honestly wasn't and I explain in my last post on this topic what I was trying to say. I didn't mean to offend anyone and I apologize if I have. I wish you the best athena and I pray that you get your bfp very soon! I will keep you and everyone else in my tjoughts and prayers. I hope the lord blesses you with a happy healthy baby real soon!

Just1more I wasn't trying to be rude. I just know how getting your hopes up and symptom watching can Make it 10 x worse if af comes. I've been there and done that and I was just trying to help not make you feel crazy. Progesterone gives off very similar symptoms as hcg, so I just try to realistic when it comes to symptoms.

By the way I have pcos and have been ttc for 15 months, I've had 3 this the 4th tww since I started ttc. I said what I said because you can't get pregnancy symptoms until the baby implants and hcg starts building, it's medically proven whether it is you or me. Like I said I try to be realistic now when it comes to symptoms because I have been burned by them in the past.

That's fine I understand. I like to track my symptoms because it gets me very familiar with what happens to my body and what I experience every month. I gues that's how I became very aware of even the smallest symptoms. After tracking my cycles and symptoms every month for about a year before ttc I know what's normal and what isnt for me. But I get why you don't like to go by symptoms and I'm sorry for the trouble and pain you've endured for the past 15 months. I really hope and pray that your prayer gets answered. After 15 months of trying you deserve it for sure. I wish the best for you and thank you for your help. Thank you also for clearing that up. I can take things very personally sometimes when it comes to ttc. I'm sorry I took it the wrong way,

Jus1more it's ok, it's hard to tell how people mean things when you're reading them off a page. I guess I was a little blunt. I'm sorry for that. Thank you, I hope you get your bfp also. Did you say you are 5 dpo that's what I am too.

I am 6dpo so we aren't that far apart. I finally found someone that's close to my dpo. Its very hard to find anyone on here. I post topics and questions but rarely get any responses. Its frustrating sometimes. I agree, its very easy to take something the wrong way when your reading it instead of talking. I can't wait to test, the wait is so dreadfully long!

I know right. Tara /waiting is also 5 dpo. She is great. I posted a question when I was 2 months late for my period and she helped me by telling me about pcos and that I probably had it. She and I have been friends/sisters since last November.

I've had hot flashes, nipple pain, and cramp but I'm pretty sure it is the Clomid and progesterone mix. I don't know what's going on today this maybe tmi but my bowels are backed up , yesterday I was fine. But it's so bad today I feel sick to my stomach. I don't really know what to do about it either.

Just1more-have you looked in cycle buddies. I am not in same situation as you I am older and have been tttc for many years and over the years yes you do get to read your body very well. You should stay positive as negativity is so damaging. Sending you positive vibes and I am only fairly new to this forum and found most to be supportive.

My stomach has been on a roller coaster all day today so I'm with you. I feel so bloated and constipated. Also tmi but the gas is the worst lol, its driving my kids crazy but I can't help it. I try to go in my room or the bathroom but there's times I don't make it lmao! Waaaaay tmi I know. My head is killing me and I'm hot. It almost feels like a fever but I don't have one. I hate the ttw, one week left. I'll probably test at 10dpo to make sure implantation (most likely) took place and hcg has risen. When do you test since you really don't pay attention to symptoms? Do you wait till week after af is due?
