Happy Holidays to all of you ladies! And congrats to all the recent BFPs!
I am in the TWW now at 10DPO and my insomnia has come back (same thing happened at the same time last cycle and then my temps started dropping/being erratic). I am not sure what my true temps are for today and yesterday because I woke up (and stayed up for a number of hours) and then had to temp an hour later than usual (those temps were quite high and I used them, but I don't trust them). But I am hoping that maybe tonight I can sleep through the night.
If this continues, I may set up an appointment and discuss testing for progesterone levels. I have read that low progesterone can cause sleep disturbances, especially in the second half of the luteal phase. Has anyone else dealt with low progesterone and experience sleep issues?
I have been peeing like a race horse for the past few days (also happened last cycle/CP) so not sure if that's a good sign or if it's my "normal" during the LP. Waiting to test on Friday, if AF doesn't show.
Joining everyone over here! Just about 2 dpo so here begins the long wait. Last glass of wine last night for a couple of weeks at least...hopefully longer!

I think I go here now. Big temp spike this morning, and I had a positive OPK on Monday night. My chart was rocky during FW due to holiday travel, but this morning was still my highest temp yet this cycle. If so, we had great timing (-3, -1, O). FX for everyone else in the TWW!
I believe I'm back here now. I had positive OPK Monday and Tuesday. Fingers crossed. Just scheduled appt with OB to discuss options but it's not til 2/8.
I'm back here as well, 5 DPO. Not really sure how I am feeling about things, but we shall see. I also got home from my parents house yesterday and have no idea where I put my BBT.

Good luck to the ladies joining the TWW. I hope this month is it for a lot more of us! I'm sitting at 6 DPO and even though I'm only 3 1/2 weeks out from my D&C, I'm starting to feel the need to POAS soon. It's going to be tough to wait another week.
The "Charts Like Mine" feature in FF is evil. Even at 2 DPO I'm stalking my own chart to see how many people with my intercourse pattern, O day, and temp averages achieved pregnancy. Evil FF, evil.
Now y'all got me looking at the charts like mine. Haha! I am reading all kinds of into the fact that my boobs aren't sore right now when they usually are by this time in my TWW. Who else is currently reading all kinds of into any and all possible symptoms?

I've been MIA and traveling a LOT for the holidays. Including two red eyes during my FW. My temps are a mess and I have no idea where I'm at but fairly sure I'm somewhere around 5DPO. And I'm at my horrible in-laws'. So basically in hell. One test in my bag and I'm saving it for Sunday even though I know it's too early.
I definitely find myself reading into every possible 'symptom'. I've been nauseated since yesterday, which I would love to attribute to something other than the Chinese food we had the other night. Lol
@migdala Funny, I'm also at in-laws and only have one test with me. I actually prefer my in-laws house for the holidays though. They don't drive me crazy like my own family. It is super cold in the house though, so it's made temping a challenge. I'm sorry your stay with in-laws isn't pleasant.
I'm like 5DPO and no symptoms. I'm not having that urge to POAS. Maybe it's because I only have one expensive test no cheap ones. Last month I tested like crazy. Just feeling kind of blah bout the whole thing this month. I have scheduled appt with OB to go over options to try and speed this up as I don't want to waste any more time. I will be 42 in a few months. My appt isn't until February though.
6dpo and huge temp drop today, but maybe it's because of the red eye yesterday night and not a sign I'm out?
Last night my MIL decided she was too stressed to make lunch or dinner for the 12 people staying here. So DH and I cooked a massive feast on zero notice. I felt like I was on Chopped -- "you have 30min and you've got frozen shrimp and some wilted Walmart veggies. Go!"
@mack924 sorry your appointment with the doctor is not until February. When I went to the re the appointment was three months away. Then we had to wait a month and a half for all the test results to come back. I turned 36 last month so I also feel the pressure to get pregnant as fast as possible.
Sorry for the holiday stress @migdala. That's really not cool of your MIL. Also, travel and change in room temp can definitely mess with temps. My temps from last weekend are all jagged because of travel.
@Mack924 Hopefully this is your cycle, but I'm glad you're feeling zen about it.
@Taggarab That was me last cycle. Cramps at 4 DPO? Totes KU. Stuffy nose at 6 DPO? Totes KU. I started testing at 6 DPO because I wanted to be doing something. I'm feeling much calmer this TWW (although I am only 4 DPO). I don't know if I learned my lesson from last cycle that symptoms mean zippity do da, or if temping this cycle is channeling my obsessing in a new direction. Lol. Either way, I'll take the calmer state of mind. I'm pretty hopeful for this cycle, but we'll see what happens.
@babypi Glad I'm not the only one who has no complaints about the in-laws! Of course, I'm their wine supplier (I work for a winery so 50% off retail) so they kinda have to like me if they want the fermented grape juice to keep flowing their way. Lol

Sorry about the stressful sounding holiday @migdala.
Paging doctor @RiverSong15 Can I please ask what you make of this ridiculousness? According to the chart which cannot be correct I'm currently 17dpo with BFN yesterday. Think maybe I didn't O until cd25? ***TMI Alert*** The creamy CM I noted on cd's 31 & 32 was white (like creamy CM) but sticky (tacky maybe) and enough for there to be a bunch in my underwear. Sorry about that but that isn't typical for me
@SoontobeMommaHowe Sorry for CD1. Your chart is definitely confusing. Based on temps, CD25 or 27 seemed possible, but the positive OPK and CM suggests CD19 or 20, if you disregard temps. I'd bet that's why your LP seemed a little longer. FF just wasn't sure between CD17-20. Hopefully your time on the bench isn't too bad, and I hope treatments go well!
I took a break to process everything, but here is the rest of my December saga:
TW**TW**TW**TW**TW**TW**TW**TW**TW*
FYI the trigger warnings pretty much cover all the triggers this time, so fair warning
The day I was scheduled for betas and began spotting, the spotting turned into full on heavier than my normal period bleeding. I still took your guys advice and went to Quest to have the vampires suck my blood ... but my script from my midwives wasn't in their system and no one was in at the midwives office to fax it.
The next day the bleeding increased even passing large clots and tissue, so at this point I knew the jig was up. I had a phone call with one of the midwives on call that night to go over my timeline of everything from my first mc at 9weeks in October, to my first AF after, to my symptoms and tests this time around. I asked her if this would be in my charts as a CP even though I hadn't gotten the betas drawn, she responded by saying that she doesn't like to use the term CP, so it would go in my charts as an early mc at 5weeks ! She did have me go in for bloodwork, and my HCG levels came back at 0. Which didn't change my chart only meant I didn't need another round of tests.
