@Anna you have such a cute bump

@Alex and @Mira go catch that egg!!

@Emma I think you do tend to show earlier with each pregnancy! I hope all is going well

@Scuba and @Agatch sending you both all my love

AFM I'm 8dpo, not getting excited by any of my symptoms! My boobs are hurting and I've been getting waves of nausea in the evenings over the last few days, also feeling pretty bloated and my digestive system isn't working well at all right now, amongst a few other things!! I'm also getting vivid dreams about being pregnant

It's funny, I never used to get any symptoms in the luteal phase before I started TTC, but since I have been TTC I always get at least 1-2 symptoms.

AF is due next Tuesday, so I'm waiting until then. If it doesn't arrive then I'll test

@alex wouldn't that be nice? I was also thinking that I could find out at my appointment because they usually do a urine sample and test it. But I'm trying not to get my hopes up for any of that. AF always seems to fall near something and I start thinking "what if I find out I'm pregnant that day?". Never happens lol did you get your tests or are you just going to BD for a few days?

Burkette yes I know! Once you ttc then boom! All the symptoms starts to appear lol unfortunately female body is not making us any favors and had decided to give same symptoms for AF and for pregnancy. Just great lol Hopefully you’ll find something to distract yourself till next Tuesday and crossing my fingers that we’ll be having some good news!

Kait I’m thinking same way too. Each cycle I’m like “oh.. if I’m pregnant this month it would fall at.. blah blah blah..” never works for me either lol I guess when we finally get pregnant we’ll see!! Hopefully for you it will be on this anniversary
Unfortunately my tests haven’t arrived so I’ll have to figure it out through bbt and cm. I’m full on the BD train so I’m sure I won’t miss it. I think I’m O today though.. my temp dropped and last night I had super intense O pains. I’ll keep BD till I see a dramatic rise on my bbt.

Hey ladies
I am 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant and have been feeling nauseous since but yesterday and today i have thrown up . Is it normal for vomiting to start at 10 weeks?

@emma I think once you've had a baby you start showing faster or at least that's what I've heard other people say I dont know how true it is I'm also wearing a maternity Jean today lol I've been wearing tights mostly and will probably only own one piece of maternity clothing till I have her...

@alex aww thanks babe I appreciate it I cant wait to see your stomach one day !!

@burkette thank you!! Not symptom spotting is hard but you've got this girl!!

@sam totally normal girl I started getting morning sickness at 5 weeks and was throwing up every morning at least twice from about 5.5 weeks to 17 weeks and I still sometimes do

@anna I am so happy for you!! Your bump is so cute!!!

@burkette yes symptom spotting is so hard during the tee!! Ugh I drive myself crazy!!

@alex I am in the same boat. Lots of O type pains even some spotting but no ride in temp just yet. Hoping to see it tomorrow morning though!! We have been bding every day for the past 4-5 days now, even when I was beyond exhausted last night from the first day with my students. He is as eager as me!!

Hoping the pains and spotting are good signs for O and that my body is finally getting itself back together!! If i actually o this month it will be the first time I will O two months in a row!!! Only O’ed twice so far this year so really hoping I do O soon!!! So frustrating!!!

Good luck ladies!!

@itsAnna your bump is so cute!! I'm very happy for you.
@burkette it's amazing how we now realize about symptoms that were always there but we never paid attention. I keep saying my husband how humans arrived to Moon and invented internet and we are still in this basic stage with this.... (We are both engineers) LOL
@alex good luck!try to not think about the tests and enjoy! Testing is addictive... Yesterday I got rid of many used tests I was keeping hidden from my DH, this is insane
@shaygosney good luck!! I hope you get your O soon!!

Coming back work is being really stressing and have backpain and headache... I am trying to relax because we should start BD soon and I hate being so negative. I spend all my energy at work and when I arrive home I feel bad because I should be relaxed but I'm exhausted without energy and that stresses more ... Happily weekend is near

@alex - that line was in fact a pretty visible evap. I got my period today.

So, right now I'm in a place were my heart and my head wants two different things. Me and my husband had a talk yesterday and we both feel that right now wouldn't be a good time to get pregnant. I want to finish school and be able to work, at least for a little while, and my husband is in a bad place emotionally right now due to his work and the work hours. Which means he's got a depression and are also looking for other jobs and applied to school. Even though my heart protests, the NTNP are from now on going to be preventing and I'm actually setting up an appointment for some contraceptive. I'll still follow you guys from the sideline keeping my fingers crossed that everyone in here still TTC will soon get their bfp! Although I'll probably won't write that often. So good luck ladies, both TTC and expecting!

Shay you’re so strong! Not knowing if you gonna ovulate must be another kind of torture. I honestly don’t know if I could manage not knowing if I’ll ovulate and it’s already difficult for me not knowing if I’ll ovulate on my good side. On this journey I realized that being all so different and having different kinds of issues while TTC, we giving each other strength and courage to keep going! Sending all my positive thoughts to you that your egg is dropping or already dropped! we really need to see a bfp from you soon!

Neisa I know! Addictive tester here lol I don’t feel comfortable at all without opks. Makes me more anxious tbh. I stopped taking hpts too early but opks... I don’t wanna quit. It gives me guidance and a feeling of secure. Idk
I know that feeling of exhaustion especially if you work till late at night like I do. Sometimes you cannot just help it and the only thing you really want is to take a shower, eat and sleep. We find it more enjoyable in the morning/noon since we’re working afternoon till late evening. Maybe before work you feel more energetic?

I don’t really know where I stand with O. Last night O pains was on another level and I wanted to ask all of you ladies... Do you get severe O pains or just a twinge? I almost always get very strong O pains not like period cramps. It’s more like gas pains and I never heard women complain about it so much. It’s just too much sometimes but of course the good thing is I know that I’m ovulating!! I’m not complaining
, I’m just curious.
This morning I woke up a lot earlier than the past days and I don’t really know if my temps are valid. How do you manage inconsistent waking time when it come to bbt? Sorry for asking so many questions but without my opks I feel so lost...

Pandorica just saw your post! I’m so sorry AF came. Those tests are worthless and it’s such a downer for someone who’s TTC. I don’t know if that’s what you really wanted since I’ve seen how much you wanted a baby but I’m glad that you had a talk with your husband and took some decisions. I know life can be hard and ttc takes so much energy! I really hope you and your hubby will settle everything and very soon you’ll get back to ttc with Hopefully successful results. It will be a pleasure to see you around though! We’re always here (hopefully not ttc for too long lol) even for a small chit chat! Hugs
