@lissa, I sure hope that's your case. I keep thinking if one good one can just get to where it needs.

@momma, I color on my phone but unfortunately it leads me to researching and reading.

I'm so sorry I've been MIA the last few days! I've been staying busy with my grandma visiting and hoping it helps the stress levels for this cycle.

Welcome to all the newcomers! I've caught up on all the posts but there's just too much to reply to everyone individually. But I'm sorry for the ones who had AF show up and have kept everyone waiting for O or the TWW to end in my thoughts. The BFPs all make me so happy though and with any luck the rest of us will be getting ours soon as well.

As for me, AF ended and my fertile window should be starting around this weekend. With my grandma sleeping in the room next to us and an extremely niosy bedn BDing has been tough. But I guess we'll need to start getting creative. Haha

@bug it sucks alright. I have also developed other unwanted issues like a lot more hair in places I would never expect to get hair. I'm not normally a hairy person. Loads of acne on my chin and cheeks. I didn't even get acne through puberty. I have bad fatigue permanently, get hot flashes and nasty head aches. I have also noticed that my ovulation pain seems to be getting a lot worse with each cycle and is lasting longer than it used to. I also get a lot of lower back cramps and that feel like the start of a kidney infection that never eventuates. It has been horrid. My doctor not giving a crap has made me feel even worse about it all.

@Brittany
I'm 14 dpo, af due tomorrow... I thank I am out this month..I have cramps, my breasts are tender and I got bfn on 13 dpo, 11 dpo.

And of course this morning I started spotting.

Currently on 6DPO, think I'll do some internet cheapie tests this weekend, with my first baby I had a squinter at 9DPO so I'll try to hold out until then. We didn't particularly try this month because I keep changing my mind on when to try since my little man is only 7 month and still breastfeeding. We only BD'd once this month (he works away) which was 5/6 days before O so pretty sure it'll be a no this month but who knows!

@sigkap, glad AF is over and the fun can begin even if you have to be a little sneaky.

@matrick, that does not sound fun at all.

@and sorry to hear AF is knocking on your door. Maybe it's just IB.

@Becky you never know his swimmers could last till they met your egg.

@sigkap Your post made me giggle. Getting creative sounds kind of fun!
@matarik I would change doctors. Have they checked you for PCOS or endo or anything? That’s not normal at all.
@And29 sorry AF seems to be starting. Hopefully next month is your month!
@beck I miss the trying-not trying days. They seemed less stressful.

Sorry to those who have AF show up. Good luck to those in the tww!
I am now 8dpo with a bfn this morning. I'm not even disappointed bc I know it is still so early! Just keeping my fingers crossed we caught the egg this month!
How is everyone feeling today symptom-wise and emotionally?
