Good morning, ladies. My temp shot back up to 97.77 this morning! Praying it was an implantation dip. I was crampy yesterday, and still a little this morning.

That’s good @kelly! for you this cycle!

Hi friends. I’m 11 dpo today. I’ve had cramps ever since 7 dpo. My temp was 98.0 today, yesterday was 97.72. I poas, negative. Who knows.

Hey girls, hope you all are doing ok! I'm still checking back looking for your BFP's!! AFM, i've got a terrible sinus and ear infection. I went to the doctor last week and they prescribed amoxicillin. They told me i could take tylenol and sudafed. I've been taking everything and i'm very slow to recover. Normally if not pregnant i would be taking a lot more OTC medication for congestion. But i'm afraid to take anything else. I don't think sudafed even does anything. Anyway, i thought i would post here and see if any of you other mamas have any experience with this during pregnancy and any words of advice. I've been getting lots of rest, drinking fluids, using saline nasal spray, and have a vaporizer in my room. I was using vicks vapor rub but started developing an allergy to it and it makes my symptoms worse now. Any ideas on what else i can do??????????

Good morning, ladies. Today I am 12 dpo, cycle day 26. My temp was still 97.72 this morning, so no dip yet. My cycle is usually 27 days, occasionally 28 days. I don't feel pregnant, though my symptoms aren't really pms. Not really sure. I'm hopeful. I might poas tonight.

Hate not wanting to come on and be active.
@lissa beautiful sonogram. And sorry you are not feeling well.

@the other mamas hope things are goi g well.

@HDkelly I hope your AF stays away.

As for me, I am struggling big time. I have yet to confirm O. CD 20 today and I had a positive OPK yesterday. There has been trouble with BDing so the fiance called the doc and got the little blue pill. We have used them twice Friday and yesterday. They worked and could not be happier but with O being so late I'm not sure it will happen this cycle. Plus, this morning one of the staff at my center came in and was like I'm interrupting you but I'm pregnant I took 3 test. She wasnt trying and she knows that I have been. I felt it was very rude and has put me in a sour mood. On top of this went wedding dress shopping and didnt find the one. I feel I am extra picky and hate that it wasnt simple enough to just go one time shopping and ring the bell that I found my dress. I had an issue with trying on bras this weekend as well to the point I wanted to just cut all my fat off around my arms. I even almost popped my shoulder blade out of place. I feel alone even though I know I'm not. I should be happy about my upcoming wedding but it's so hard. In a really bad space right now.

Bug, I'm so sorry you are struggling. When I was wedding dress shopping, I was self conscious. I had to get myself in the right head space of knowing and believing my fiance (now husband) loved me and was attractive to me. Have you looked online? There was quizzes you can take to figure out the style you'd like, then you can window shop online for ones you like in that style. THEN when you get to the bridal store, you know exactly what you are looking for. That might help.

@ Bug just thought I would give some input in regards to the bra situation and dress shopping. I too was very picky! I found a dress that had rouge around the belly area that I loved, but it didn't really fit. Guess what! David's bridal can add a corset to most dresses if need be. It cost $150 or so, but I only paid $99 for the dress, so it was still very affordable. I was so depressed when bra shopping. I am so large chested, and it was making me have so much anxiety. The girl at David's bridal suggested to try it without a bra? I was like I'm way too big chested to go without a bra! She said the corset would hold them in.... OMG the dress was perfect, I felt comfortable, and the girls were held in! So just know there are options if you like a dress. If you find one with a corset, just try it with both bra! Believe me, it could be ok without a bra. I'm probably a 40 DDD possibly larger!

Thanks HDkelly and millbarnett for your words of advice and encouragement.

I am a 40 triple D as well millbarnett but a year ago I was a 34 triple D and fighting bras to put them on was never this much of a struggle. I am hoping to lose some weight before the big day or at least be pregnant

I have done some online looking for dresses and have found what I want is not necessarily the style being made this year or last. Out of the 9 dresses I tried on I wish I could take the top of one of them and put it on the bottom of another one.

Well, I poas, BFN. I feel like I could be pregnant, I don’t understand. Especially when the tracker says my percentage is higher than it’s ever been, higher than my previous two pregnancies
