Southern, it’s not a bad idea! Easier to execute if O day was over the weekend, lol! I did buy something fun to wear that might help too, but it won’t be here until Thursday. I’m expecting to get a positive OPK by then. I started testing and the line has been barely there the last two days. I don’t remember when it started getting dark last month (it’s digital but I still check the line). I’ll have to check back on my posts.
Alex, I’m wondering if I’ve got a short surge too. Last month I got a positive one day and a negative the next. When I was trying for my daughter (forever ago, lol) I know the first month I stopped testing after getting the first positive and the second month (when she was conceived) I didn’t get a positive all month, so I definitely thought I was out. Something I’ll have to pay attention to going forward.

Vintage: hopefully it turns positive on the weekend and you can wear the fun thing and have a drink or two and relax and have fun with it!

Thank you ladies! Af came yesterday with a vengeance. It’s one of those awful ones. Hopefully we’ll get some good news and maybe some Xmas surprises from you all! Having everything crossed ladies. Let’s give some hope to this board!!

Alex: sorry hon! I hope you get it next time! I'm 6 dpo today and I feel a little nauseous. Thought I was hungry. Hasn't settled yet. I know implantation CAN happen at 6 dpo but surely I cannot possibly have actual symptoms this early? It's just the regular progesterone, right?

I’m sorry, Alex. I can always tell when it’s going to be a rough cycle if I’m super emotional before. I hope you’re feeling a little better.
Southern, I can’t imagine you’re already having symptoms but you know your body best.
I’m just hoping we can get in two more rounds of BD before Saturday. Then I can get a whole week before the TWW starts driving me crazy, lol.

Vintage: I don't think so. It's far too early. Still hard not to associate every twinge with pregnancy in the TWW, ya know? I go into it with all the reason and sanity and logic and even science. Then as soon as I get anything that could be a symptom it all goes out the window lol. It eventually faded so probably wasn't anything special.

3 dpo today, approx. Had a sudden ovary pain on my left side today. It lasted for about half an hour or so and went away in an instant when I took some Ibuprofen. It reminded me about a few years ago when I had some ovarian cysts (functional) due to my IUD. Sometimes they bursted and I had a quite sharp pain for a short moment before it went away. So I guess this pain today were somewhat ovulation related. Since 1 dpo I have been having like hot flashes when I wake up, that disappears soon thereafter. And I got some acne, which I usually only get right before af and not this early. I guess we'll see what this cycle brings, if it's something good or not.

Off topic, but has anyone else noticed all the vvf BFPs in the photo gallery today??? It makes me feel like it’s a hopefully month!

Vintage: I'll have to check those out! Maybe a little Christmas magic?

Southern no matter how grounded person you are when it comes to tww and symptom spotting, is very hard not to give into those hopes.

Vintage go catch that egg girl! Hopefully in a couple of weeks we’ll be watching your bfp on the gallery

Pandorica I know it’s still early but we’ve heard so many weird stories in here that nothing is impossible. Hopefully those are good signs.

AFM still with the company of AF and I cannot hide it was a pretty depressing two days now. One friend announced her pregnancy and she’s showing off her belly on the social media and this combined to another failed cycle of mine, it was too much. Cried a lot and felt a useless piece of sh... Today I’m feeling much better and my hubby is so incredibly helpful and sweet. At least we may stay just the two of us but I’m so thankful I have him. He’s the best person I could have on my side. I wish we could have a little sweet human with us....
