Hi everyone! This is a two week wait post for anyone who is in or soon will be in the TWW. Tell us your symptoms (no matter how crazy they may be!), how many DPO you are, and when/if you'll test. Good luck everyone!

I'm 13 dpo and according to FF, AF is due tomorrow. No symptoms. I have done well trying to keep my mind off of everything, but have started to do that thing where you go the bathroom more often just to see if AF has started. But I haven't had ANY pre-AF spotting, like I usually do and my temps are good. I also don't really know what to think because FF changed my O date (it was originally 3 days later). I'll test tomorrow or early Wed bc DH is going on a business trip Wed and I don't think I can wait until he gets back Saturday and don't want to test without him. I haven't even told him this bc I'm just trying not to get my hopes up.
Sounds promising @Tomerine!! Just so you know, I had ZERO symptoms when I got my BFP the first time around. I was shocked when the second line appeared. Fingers crossed! We do need some BFPs around here soon!

Soooo .. I have no idea what my body is doing ... but I had some hope yesterday. Here is what is going on.
- I am exhibiting peri menopause symptoms (Hot and cold flashes). I am still waiting for tests to come back to confirm.
- I had an estrogen surge from CD14-18, and an LH surge on CD19. So FF friend is assuming I ovulated on CD19.
- We only had BMS on CD14 and DH got sick. So, I was writing this month off ... though still hopeful... anything can happen.
- YESTERDAY However, CD26- 5DPO, I had a little surprise. I had a very small amount of spotting that might be implantation bleeding. 2 years ago implantation bleeding was a bit heavier ... so I am not sure if that is what I am looking at.
The earliest I can test is Wednesday assuming that 2-3 days after implantation there will be enough HCG to be detected .. I am trying not to overthink this and make assumptions ... one can make themselves crazy over analyzing .
10dpo today.
Gonna test again either tonight or tomorrow.
BFN 8dpo & 9dpo.
Having a lot of symptoms actually, but the reassuring ones are the flu-like feelings with extremely sore and sensitive nipples.
Hope my body isn't faking me out!
I'm going into TWW tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I O'd today. I am only using cheapo OPK. My second line was slightly lighter today (after solid + yesterday) and I'm new to keeping up with it. Got my BD on yesterday but not sure if it will happen tonight since DH is STILL struggling with not feeling well. I am SO restless today! I can't stand myself. Lol I hope the next 2 weeks isn't going to be like this but I'm sure it will.
As far as me, this cycle is just WACKY (as always...my body is so crazy). I was about to give up on it a few days ago after 13 days of flashy smiley face (estrogen surge). I was going to use the natural progesterone cream and took a dose in the morning but before my evening dose I noticed a lot of EWCM (the first CM all cycle!) so then I thought that maybe my body was going to O after all. I didn't take the progesterone and the last few days I've had a lot of EWCM and the Wondfo OPK test line is SO close to a positive but the ClearBlue digital keeps giving me flashy smiley faces. I feel like I'm just about to be in the 2WW but still haven't gotten a positive so not sure. Sigh.

10dpo bfn for me. Wah wah. Honestly, I'm shocked that I'm not seeing a line. This is probably the first time ever I have felt this sure and been wrong. I've been pg 9 times now, and this month has got me completely fooled. :-??
Update: I don't know what's going on with me. When I temped this am, FF moved my O day AGAIN- back to CD 19 (from CD 16). I tested this am and BFN. I'm feeling so dejected and sad. This was the first time I've really cried at not being pregnant- before I could keep my optimism about "next month." But I'm just so confused and I feel... lost. My temps are still up, though, so I don't know what to think. I guess I'll just wait for AF to rear her ugly head once again.
OMG, @efhoping2010 -- I came on the board today specifically to see if someone had a BFP because I just needed to see one for some reason. I'm so happy for you! I saw at the bottom of your signature that you got a digital BFP last night, so I guess that makes it official! Woo-hoo!
I'm 4dpo, but my main concern right now is major work stress. I've taken on three new clients in the past few months and I'm buried in deadlines. My eyelid was twitching for three days and now the left side of my neck and left shoulder are killing me. Probably a combination of tension and sitting too long at my computer. @-)
Oh, and I quit caffeine and I'm eating extra healthy, so I can't even indulge a little to lift my spirits. I'll join Tomerine's pity party.

@jilligan14 , I would post my chart but it's just become irrelevant. I'm spotting. I hold no more delusions. And if that weren't enough of a sign that God is messing with me, I was just out having lunch and ran into my OBGYN with her kids. It was all I could do not to pummel her with questions. But thank you for your hopefulness!
@efhoping2010, I know exactly how you feel. I had one right before this cycle. It was my first one (that I know of). I pray that is not case for you! Hugs and love!

Well I'm on CD 1. Finally started my period 15 days late. I don't even know when to start tracking O this month. I think I'm gonna wing it this cycle and see if I return to my normal 28 days and then temp and chart next month. As much as I hate waiting. But with these meds maybe it's for best
@AMDR1979 -- AF sucks, but sometimes after a bad cycle (I had two after my d&e) it's also nice to put that cycle behind you and start a new one. I hope you get 28 days this time.

@efhoping2010, just checking in to see how the beta test went. I didn't see any update yet but also not sure what time zone you're in.
Also, I THINK I might be having some early symptoms. Is anyone else in TWW having any? I'm 5 or 6DPO. I'm not 100% sure what day I O'd. Basically I'm feeling winded, slightly nauseous, very tired, and having mood swings. I know these can all be symptoms before AF. DH wants me to wait at least until next Saturday to test. That will be 11 or 12 DPO. It is hard to not test even though I know it will be negative this early! Waiting is so hard!
That's great @efhoping2010 !! I'm so glad to hear it!

I am concerned about a chemical, I have had other IVF cycles start out with faint positives and never get darker or even get lighter.
Today's test to me does not look any darker than yesterday.
Trying not to panic, first beta on Saturday.
