I totally agree with everything you have said Mandy. I thinks the things you said catchwin about phantom symptoms was an awful thing to say when yor on a forum full of women who are struggling to conceive and we are all trying to support each other in that. We are happy that you are pregnant but some of your comments are below the belt.

Catchwin- you could say that your symptoms were all phantom symptoms before the implant since hcg hasn't started yet and they are caused by other hormones. Your cycle can be different without being pregnant, I know this for a fact since I've gotten very in tune with my body. I don't know if your tests are evaps but the line on your frer is not solid so I definitely wouldn't count that.

Tara / waitingonmymiracle,
After reading your TTC story and some of your posts it seems we both have had a tough few years. But all that struggle I believe makes us women a whole lot stronger. After so many let downs you learn how to deal with them a lot better. I think that's why my coping skills with all this are very good. The only thing that would break me I think is a pregnancy loss. I had a miscarriage when I was 16 while me and hubby were just dating. That was by far the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. You make mistakes when your young and learn from them. The awesome this is that I'm still with my high school sweetheart. We've been together since 98 and married since 2003. Anyway, you must be a very strong women to have went through so many losses. I don't know if I would be able to deal if it ever happened again. I love your sense of humor. It seems you make most of these ladies laugh even when they are depressed or stressed. Yeah, you gotta love the kids and its pay back for all the times I've been pooped, peed, farted and, puked on lol. Its happened to me more times than I can count! A then said that you were about 5dpo, are you? I'm 7dpo today and getting excited that I only have one week of the ttw behind me! Athena and I will be testing tomorrow, would you like to join our pact? The more the merrier! I have 2 frers I picked up yesterday so I'm trying my best to save one for tomorrow and the other for later in my ttw in case tomorrows is a bfn, still thinking bfp for sure though.

Athena,
Try to remain as hopeful as possible, it helps a lot for me when things don't work out the way I want them to. It makes me feel like I've accomplished something because I feel like I've done everything I could. Like everyone else I do get upset when ad shows but its how I deal before during and after that matters to me. I think your back round and education does effect how you personally view things " When I see it I'll believe it ". Its nice that you keep an open mind to how others like myself do things and no, I don't think anyone here is gonna bite your head off lol. Your entitled to your opinion its that you don't force it on others that matters. Thinking back to last night I think that's why I was so offended. But after talking to you I got a better understanding of what you were saying and realized that that's not what you were trying to do. Anyway, I'm excited to test with you tomorrow! Its nice to know that I won't be testing alone tomorrow. No matter what we will have each other as well as other ladies for support. Think and ! Tomorrow will tell! to all you ladies!

Not to speak for Tara but she isn't testing early because her doctor won't do a blood test til 20 dpo and she doesn't want to wait that long. She and I are both 6 dpo , we ovulated on the same day.

Phatgirl,
I am I am, tomorrow though lol. So its your voice in the back of my head saying test test test already ! What do are you? Hopefully around me and athenas so you can join our pregnancy testing pact!

Thanks just1more. I can't wait til tomorrow lol.. But I will have to, I have a lab practical later today and couldn't go back to sleep when dh got up for work. I guess I better get some breakfast and get to studying.

Confused,
Its a good thing your bding, have you been the past few days? If so great judging by opk I would say within the next few days. I also agree with athena, only use your opk along with temping or something else when predicting ovulation. I would only use an opk as a back up. There also good cause you know when to start bding early enough cause the line will begin getting darker. Post pics of the next opk so I can co pair the 2.

Joezammu,
I've also felt pretty wet but nothing really there when I wipe. When I do the finger check for cm its definitely noticable. It creamy and has a yellow tint. Its been like this since 3dpo. Usually after I ovulate I become very dry and there's nothing from the finger check. If there is its very pasty and white. Have you tesed at all?

athena and just1more on your test tomorrow.
hoping for a for you both.
