Hi ladies. I'm trying to slog my way through the wait until Tuesday. I go from being sure I'm pregnant to being sure I'm not. Ugh. I'm anywhere from 7 to 9 DPO. I wonder how accurate the dr is in thinking I ovulated last Tuesday. Is it just a guess? I suppose it doesn't matter.The tracker says we had high accuracy in bding even if I ovulated later. It's just a struggle to not know.

Sorry to whine. I guess I'm just riding the roller coaster for now.

Penny- I use mucinex to help myself. I know that you have to use just plain mucinex, not mucinex dm because that will dry up the cm. The only ingredient should be Guaifenesin.

Newbie- Welcome and

AFM: 3dpo today. I have just realized that according to my O date and expected cycle length this cycle that actual EDD would be July 8th---That is DH's bday! I have my fingers crossed extra hard for this cycle!

Rebecca- I totally understand! Since it's 3 dpo, FF finally weighed in on my O date and confirmed CD15 which is totally great. I worry about it until FF confirms it because I think the CTP site isn't quite as accurate. CTP always places O date based on positive opk's. I am wondering if I should go back and delete my opk results? I am ridiculous. What else is there to do in the TWW but obsess over whether you did everything right? LOL

rebecca: I wouldn't worry too much. You may not have even implanted yet. No implantation no real symptoms right?

penny: I can't help you on this topic. Cm is probably the only thing I don't have an issue with.

newbie: Welcome!

Bammom: extra for you dear! I hope your dh gets an extra special bday gift!

OH maybe I was using DM. I didn't think of that. My midwife told me to make sure I'm super hydrated. She seems to think my lack of CM is simply dehydration. I do have PCOS, but I get positive ovulation tests every month like clockwork on day 18 so she doesn't think it's a matter of not gearing up to O correctly.

So frustrating. I'm CD 15 today so we'll see if this month goes as scheduled.

@acrichton - I'm sorry about the BFN. Hoping that changes in a day or two.

AFM, today is 10 DPO and I didn't test. This has been so much better for me as far as a TWW is concerned. Not testing has really been way less stressful. I may break down and test tomorrow, but if I have willpower I will wait until 12 DPO.

1stTTC: I am glad you are better and that your levels are back to normal so soon. for a +OPK in a few days and a sticky soon after!

Kizzy: Hope you had a great birthday , and some good quality BD so that you have your big announcement on Xmas.
Thank you for the wishes .
Happy 1DPO!!!! This is exciting!!! I think you should BD tonight too just in case!

Wifey: You don't have to call it baby making attempts , just call it making your husband happy more times a month than you intended . It happens to me every month too.... today will be day 4 in a row and I am not sure when a +OPK will decide to arrive.
Congrats on the solid smiley, I hope this is accurate.
Is it safe to do acupuncture after ovulation? I heard it can be hard on the body and is only recommended for CD1-14 if done for fertility issues.

While: How is the holding until 12DPO going?
As for your question re: dull cramping, I get it every month sometimes as early as 6DPO sometimes closer to 10DPO, but it's always there since I started tracking.

Blushing: I do not know how you do the supplement is liquid or powder form, I can barely take the taste through the pills.
About your sis and bestie, you're allowed to lose your cool, I know you are strong and you will gain in back in a second. I am sorry they are not respecting you like they should, you are awesome and we all here respect you!

GVMDL: How are you? It is nice you are keeping busy, I love painting, colours are great. CD2, only a week or so to ovulation?
What do you love about the wheatgrass?

pennylane: Welcome. Good luck this cycle and [fingerx] for ovulation in the next few days for you, I hope you started BD BD BD already.
Not sure about the mucinex I try to avoid actual medication, but there are natural things to boost CM, here is a site: http://natural-fertility-info.com/5-natural-ways-to-increase-your-cervical-mucous.html.
I hope you took advantage of the EWCM and BD'd.

scooby: this cycle, where in your cycle are you?

Genie: Your symptoms or lack of can be a symptom in itself. just try to stay positive. Did the doctor say why he wants to wait with testing? My doctor wanted to wait to, he is only sending me for everything because I generally feel pretty bad this past few months...

SMC: for you this month to catch that egg and have a sticky bean .

acrichton: I am sorry you are feeling sad, I pray that stays away and you get your in the next couple of days .

newbie: Welcome, tell us a little bit about yourself .

rebecca: Don't say you're sorry, we are all emotional when we have to wait, the constant am I am I not in our heads drives us insane.
Praying for you that it is a !!!

Bammom: Wow, a baby as a bday gift, that would be awesome!!! and your way!!!

AFM: So this is CD17, and my birthday... this would be late ovulation, still did not ovulate this month, hopefully tonight, but not counting on it.
Got me some RJ and bromelain yesterday to aid this cycle even more.
