Alex: a friend who is also in the TWW with me thinks I may get a bfp. Today's test was negative but she seems to think my symptoms are promising. Symptom spotting: yesterday and today I have to pee ridiculous amounts even though I'm not drinking more than usual. Even though I go, I still kinda feel like I have a full bladder. No UTI (I would absolutely know the difference lol). I swear I went pee and 15 minutes later after zero liquid I had to go again. I am sooooo tired today. I actually laid down at like noon to nap which isn't like me even on only 4 hours of sleep. I usually get 7-8 and got 7.5 last night of good quality sleep according to my body and my fitbit. I'm soooo bloated. I ate at 4 and an hour later felt like my stomach was empty ans a little...not nauseous but kinda an unsettled stomach? All I know is it is the same way my stomach felt the day before full on morning sickness hit in my first pregnancy (and it never stopped the whole 9 months). My hubby says my breasts feel firmer and I agree. Had a morning of cramps yesterday so... Maybe? But my friend seems to think it sounds promising. But I don't remember having any of this in the tww with my daughter. Especially not the peeing. I didn't pee all the time when I was pregnant.

Vintage I was almost certain that you would get your positive opk today! I’m glad that you did and now you can feel more positive! Hopefully you won’t need a second cycle!

Hberry Aw hun! You’re on the beginning of the dreadful tww. Hopefully it will pass fast and who knows? We may see your bfp this cycle. I remember you said the BDing timing was good this time! Try to keep yourself busy since you are getting either way a tin of similar with pregnancy symptoms each cycle and try not to symptom spot! I’m having everything crossed for you!

Pandorica so glad that the owner dosage is not giving you side effects. I noticed that on my self when I started metformin. For the first couple of months and until my dosage was stabilized, the side effects was horrible. Now I’m taking them and I have not a single side effects. Hopefully you will get used to it and you’ll be able to slowly up the dosage. Isn’t there any similar med you can’t take when pregnant?

Southern even though I’ve never been pregnant in my life, I’m in here way too long and I’ve read A TON of success stories. What I’ve learned is no matter how many times you’ve been pregnant before, each pregnancy is unique and might be totally different from the previous ones. Symptom spotting is also one of the things we should avoid since our bodies are preparing for pregnancy either way after ovulation. Symptoms can be identical to pregnancy even if not pregnant. I really hope in your case to be proven as pregnancy related, which I highly believe too! I’m excited for you!!

AFM I’m really not expecting much any more. I’m just staying in here out of habit. I don’t believe that I’m able to get pregnant and since we’re not interested in IUI or IVF chances of me getting pregnant after all this years of trying, correct timing and meds are really very low. I’m going to be 38 in December 28th and this by itself is very bad. I’m old and my body is already too tired... No matter how bad you want something, God sometimes has different plans for you and that is totally acceptable.. Only time will show!

Southern, I’m really hoping that you get your BFP today!
Alex, thank you! Today it was back to being negative, which was a little discouraging but I’m still happy I got a positive result. My partner ended up working late last night and we weren’t able to get in a BD, so I’m hoping tonight is still a good time. As much as I told myself this was just for information so I can start getting in turn with my body again, it’s really difficult to not want to act immediately on the information I’m getting. My plan was to figure things out so by January I’d have a pretty good idea of timing. It wouldn’t be a bad thing, considering how things are going in the US right now, but.... hard to stop yourself from wanting everything to happen as quickly as possible.

Alex- I will be busy with working to keep me busy. Yesterday was horrible as I couldn't keep anything down until right before bed. I felt super warm all day but when I took my temp I wasn't running a fever at all. Today I still feel warm but I don't feel sick at all. Last time I felt as sick as I did was when I was pregnant with my soon to be 9 yr old son.

Vintage: I tested and I swore for a split second I saw something. But you can't see it in the photo I don't think. I've never before had an indent, not even when I tried for my daughter. Not on any test. Never got lines on cheap blue dye ones everyone complains about either. Ever. None of my tests this week have shown anything. I feel like I'm going crazy lol! I added my photo and it's also uploaded to the site to see if tools can show it.

Alex - I'm not sure, but there should be a similar med that are ok to take when pregnant. If not, I'll just have to make due with a med that doesn't have the muscle relaxing component.

8 dpo today and still no symptoms. I had an hour or so where I felt almost feverish. But to be honest I were busy organizing our new wardrobe, carrying stuff from the bottom floor and upstairs. So I guess it was due to that. When I got pregnant with my son I remember feeling feverish were the first symptom I had, but then I felt feverish all day and not just for an hour or so. So it's probably just wishful thinking.

Southern, I think I can see what you saw, but I might also just have line eyes. I I ???? Definitely post tomorrow’s!

Vintage: if you do then so does my 50 year old bff! She saw something too. But my afternoon one doesn't seem to show anything.

@southern. I thought I saw something too. Maybe test again either in the morning or the day after with a FRER. If today's test is true then there should be a definate line the next time you test. Good luck. Praying for a sticky bean.

Dragonfly: do you mean on the frer? Cause I don't have anymore of those. All I have are the cheap walmart ones and some wondfo strips coming in the mail tomorrow (which will be too late for fmu tomorrow so I'll use the Walmart one).
