@emma-- I'm so sorry you're going through this. There is no ache like that of empty arms. I hope you do have another chance.
@Pandorica--I so admire your perseverance. May it not be required any more!
@itsAnna--you are so fun. This journey is so much better shared with you and the rest of these amazing ladies!
As for me--AF is due tomorrow or Friday. My Hubby and I had our big Valentine's date last night to try to keep the pressure off. So glad we did--we had a wonderful time! We watched "Young Victoria" at an arts center, and we were the only ones to show up because of terrible snow. It became a private viewing! :D But I've been getting mood swings (a PMS sign for me) and a temp dip this morning, so I fear I'm out this month. Trying to remember that There's more to life than ttc...

So, I looked back at my previous pregnancy tests (which are still on this site) and my first very-much-a-squinter was at 8dpo, not 7dpo LOL... much clearer around 10dpo... so going to try to hold out on testing again until Saturday morning... Due to the symptoms I have logged yesterday and today, CTP says my probability of being pregnant is 22.8% now instead of just 20%... is this going to happen every cycle? I wonder how accurate their increase in % is? What do you ladies show in their analysis this cycle if you are in your TWW??

Finally AF showed up! Onto cycle #14 I believe! I called my RE to confirm how to take my Clomid and when to schedule an ultrasound. I'm waiting on a call back. Im so anxious to get started on a new journey. First time taking fertility meds and excited to see if it works. If I get pregnant this cycle I'll be due around Nov 25th.... But I will have a C-section at 39 weeks... So I'm estimating the week of Nov 18th... Fingers crossed!
I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey! And congrats to the BFPs!

@teacher hard to say from the pic. How many dpo?
@kitkat Fingers crossed that sounds really good! How many dpo? I think you were just like me so 13, right? How long is your LP usually?
@Nicole Best of luck to you for this coming cycle!
@crystal things can also be so different from one pregnancy to the next. Any line at all at 7 dpo is rare so I wouldn't worry about a BFN at 7 dpo. I don't really trust the algorithm for the %age increase and decrease. Some of it sounds good like if you get a BFN after 9 dpo your number goes down which sounds statistically valid but other than that symptoms vary so much from one person to the other that I don't really worry much about it. I think it is more important to compare symptoms to your past cycles and see if some things are really out of the ordinary for you.
AFM, 13 dpo and no AF so far. The past 4 cycles I only had a 13 day LP so I've been thinking AF was here all day but every time I check, still nothing. I use to have a 14 day LP so maybe I am just going back to that. I can't help but thinking that there may still be hope although I really feel like AF is coming and got another BFN today (with quite diluted afternoon urine but still). I just wish AF would just show up already so I don't spend half of the night awake wondering if I should go check... Or maybe I should wish for more sanity and patience so I can just be rational and reasonable about the whole thing !!

@agatch I'm 10 dpo, and tested in the afternoon with only a 2-3 hour hold. Now that it's dry the line is super obvious. I haven't done enough with these tests to know how to feel about it! Oh well... Guess I'll know in a few days! I know what you mean about rational and reasonable!! Last month my period was on the lighter side but I was having some intense symptoms and I seriously had myself convinced for a few minutes that I was pregnant anyway and I was one of those rare people with unexplained and harmless early pregnancy bleeding. The brain can go a little nutso!

@crystal I dont think it's actually a uti as jy doesnt hurt every time and it's just cramping but that's it... I also pee a lot when I do go but i dont know how uti work so it could be that you're right... I also just want to add that I got up to 26% chance of pregnancy before but wasnt pregnant so I wouldn't trust it too much
@adoette aww thanks babe I appreciate it... I'm glad you had a fun night with SO that took some pressure off... The mood swings could pregnancy related as well... Not sure about the temp drop hopefully it picks up again
@nicole dont run away babe good luck with your journey and keep us updated okay
@teacher i dont really see anything but adding that I just woke up and everything is bright lol... Test again in a few days babe
@agatch my girl lol sanity and patience left this place a long time ago girl But I'm sorry you got another negative but I either hope for a bfp or AF soon as I know being late with negatives suck and just getting AF and moving on is better... Still got my fingers crossed babe

So I'm another day closer to testing (7dpo today, 5 days to go before testing hopefully lol) and I woke up this morning with the burning sensation in my left boob which is a new symptom starting last month and I was absolutely pissed... I just feel like my body is making up things now because the moment I had it last month I thought "wow this is new and good" but it wasnt... Other than that the only big this is I keep waking up hungry as in I need to eat now or I'll throw up hungry which is something I had in my first pregnancy but not taking it as a symptom
