@babydestiny- Welcome sweetie! Wish I could give you a definite answer but your cramping sounds promising. As for me, I thought I had implantation cramps last month but never got bfp or Af (possible my cramps were from my pcos). Do you have normal cycles? If you do and you know when you ovulated, there's good chance you're implanting.

I am brand new to this ttc sites and i am hooked but i am still trying to figure out all the acronyms and they way things work so please excuse the incompetence for a little bit till i get the hang of it.

i was just saying to Dh a minute ago "my boobs are so sore" *as i am poking at them* his response was well if you stop messing with them maybe they wouldn't be! Grr. I have no idea what day i ovulated so I have no idea what dpo im at but i am nauseous my boobs hurt my head hurts and i am kind of crampy and i don't get cramps with AF but i am practicably on here and another ttc site every free moment so i could very well be imagining symptoms!! I am going nuts. Does anyone have ANY pointers for narrowing down the day i ovulated? I am no good at the tracking stuff and i get constant +'s on the opk. for God to work his magic on us again.

Hi Shay! If you need help with abbrevations, there is a link on here for them. I'm on the reply page now and if I scroll down a bit, there is a box on the right side below the advertisement that says "Trying to Conceive Lingo". If you can find it, it's a big help in the beginning !
Sorry dh is being a goober. Men just dont get it. Maybe he wont complain about you poking your boobs if you let him poke them instead! ROFL!
I havent started tracking anything yet because I'm SO abnormal but your ovulation should be around the same time every month if your cycles are close to regular. If you're trying to figure out the exact day it's hard to tell post ovulation. What day of your cycle are you on now and what's your normal cycle length?

haha i offered DH to poke them and him being the goober he is grabbed them i shrieked and smacked him and he goes "oh man they really do hurt huh" MEN!! l0l

The problem with tracking my cycle is i have a bleeding disorder. I have to take medicine to make my blood clot or my periods would last 2+ weeks. So i have to manually stop my periods and i am not sure if that effects the ovulation process. I started on July 1st and i typically let it go 5 days just to be average but i start a different time of the month EVERY month! I am on CD 27 but no clue what dpo!

IT pretty much comes down to every day or at leasat try to with a 3 yr old that isnt always possible.
We have been trying for 2 yrs and 2 Mcs

btw can you tell i took your advice for the abbreviations! l0l very helpful!

I'm so frustrated! I had symptoms all week and now they have disappeared today. AF is due tomorrow and now I just received a BFN. Oh well. Today is my 41st birthday and I was hoping for the best birthday present. Oh well guess I will be out this round. I'm so disappointed. I'll drown my sorrows in a chocolate stampede at Longhorn's :-(

Hi! I've been testing all week, and as usual I'm testing every time I pee & making myself nutty. BBs are sore & I've been nauseous & tired, but it could all be PMS. Using Wondfos for the first time, and they may be cheap, but I'm spending a lot of time squinting with my old eyes. I have had a couple of them that look pretty + out of the 60 I've taken so far. I'm either 8 or 10 dpo now. I'll keep you updated. Hope everybody's doing fantastically!

@Shay- My dh is sitting next to me (he always asks how the girls are doing on the forum). He read the first part of your post about your dh grabbing them. He laughed so hard! Well, if it hurt bad enough that you smacked him, you're definitely not imagining it!
Your bleeding disorder does cause a bit of a challenge. But the length of bleeding or stopping it shouldnt disrupt your time of ovulation. Some women ovulate near the end of menstrating. So the length of bleeding shouldnt affect the process. What's your average cycle length (under the tools & tickers tab they have a tool for calculating it). Who knows, with your symptoms...I say PEE! You may get ! Btw- I'm sorry about your mc's. I had one and it took almost a year to feel normal again.

@Holly-It's not over til the fat red lady sings!!! But go ahead and enjoy something chocolate for me!

Miss you Phatgurl! I was wondering how you were doing!

so ladies i have a question

after what do u do ( to keep the swimmers in lol) ?
lay flat , legs up in the air , pillow under bum ????

l0l That was his response as well "guess your not imagining this one" Tell your DH ya we laughed too. We kind of try to take things lightly not so serious after the 2 mcs. One was at 8 weeks the next at 15 weeks. So both were rough on us. However we believe god has a plan.but our dr also told us something that kind of surprised us. his words were..

"My little boy announced something at the dinner table a couple nights ago, he said so mommy god told me to tell you thank you..we all looked at him kind of confused but my wife responded why? he continued to say for trying one more time after he took me away from you. Now we were really confused..so my wife said what do you mean honey you have been here all along. and then we knew god existed, my son said yes mommy i have but when i was inside you i was really sick and god came and took me i didnt want to go but he promised me i could come back soon then he gave me back real soon like he said!.
My wife had a miscarriage a month before we conceived our son but not even our oldest daughter who is 15 knew about it!"

give or take a few words as i cant recollect his EXACT wording but that sums it up.
My DH and i were stunned and it kind of brought a little bit of ease to a hard situation.
None the less we still grieved.
but they are never truly lost they are always in our hearts.

ANYWAYS now that i am done crying like a big baby
I have poas 3 times with answer 100 miu and 3 negs!
but i have no idea what dpo i am. I was told to check my cervix so of course i did because a pregnant women told me to and i gotta admit they say to do it I DO IT l0l and it was high and i guess "soft" and closed..from what i could tell i am no obgyn. but she failed to tell me what i was supposed to be feeling for l0l Its just a waiting game for me. I dont have an average Cycle time i guess its pretty much 30-35 days..
