Dragonfly: you're welcome. It's hard not to symptom spot when you want something so much. Hang in there! Just a few more days, right?

@southern. CTP has it marked due in three days (July 20) and the app that i use to log everything has it marked due in four days (July 21; CD28) with me starting CD1 on July 22. Hope that makes sense lol.

Dragonfly: I always found CTP tracking way off after my first few cycles were really wonky due to coming off birth control. And anytime I had to manually mark O it wouldn't use those stats (kinda dumb). So it never adjusted my luteal properly and was always messed up. Go with the date that's further away to be on the safe side is what I always went with.

@southern. That's what I found when tracking ovulation that it doesn't adjust properly. I'm thinking of using a First Response digital test tomorrow and see what happens. I'm anxious but I don't want to get my hopes up if it says "no". I have been feeling a bit light headed today.

Dragonfly: I took my test 3 days before af with the regular line test and then the digital in the afternoon was positive. So it's very possible if you'll be 3 days before af is due that you could easily get a +! But my sister is one who has to be 2 weeks late to get a + at all! So don't be discouraged if it's negative!

@southern. Thank you. I just checked cervix and it is low but definately closed and thick creamy cm. That must have been very nerve wracking for her having to wait that long. I would have gone crazy waiting lol.

Dragonfly: with her latest that was recently born she actually had no clue as they'd stopped trying after a miscarriage. With my first nephew yeah she was like 6 weeks. It was crazy. He was sorta an accident lol. With the one she lost she was trying and yeah, it was awful for her to get negative after negative til 6 weeks almost. I felt bad for her.

@southern. My best friend, she was two weeks behind me with my last pregnancy, then she miscarried, which broke both of our hearts and she tgen stopped talking to me. I gave her space to greive and then she messaged me stating she was pregnant again and had a baby boy a few weeks ago. On the other hand, I'm really anxious to test as it wasn't planned and so unexpected. I did some checking and not sure how it is possible, but my husbands dad and mom had four kids (girl, boy, boy, girl). We have girl, boy, boy. All seem to be around the same age. My husband is the third child and he was 6 months old when his mom got pregnant with his sister. My son will be 6 months on July 21. Is that a coincidence? Will update in the morning.

With three days before my expected AF, it was too good to be true. Could it be that I tested to early and not a lot of HCG? I'm not really bummed as the risk is low using the pullout method. Having some slight cramping but that happened the same as last month. AF is due on Thursday.

Just looked at the package it came in and the expiry date was April 2021. When I took it out, it still showed the clock. Ladies, what are your thoughts?

So, I attached the three days where implantation can occur. July 7 is CTP, and July 8 is my suspected O and then the day after. Just wondering if maybe I tested too early. Had left ovary pain, minor cramps and my cm is watery and a bit creamy still. Cervix is now high and slightly closed, which happened last cycle too. I am extremly bitchy (sorry) and been like that since ovulation. Period due July 22.
