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!

Hello Ladies, I'm cd12 today and just got my first flashing smiley. I'm feeling...sexually driven :> I told SO to get ready for another marathon. I didn't temp this month, so relying on opk's and cm.
Really looking forward to seeing if this is our month. I'm feeling balanced and hopeful. ;;)
I am cd21, 6 dpo. FF changed O date on me! I've never had that happen!! I guess it was because I had a higher temp, so it took that one. My temps this cycle have been crazy high for me, so I'm hopeful. However, we did only get one successful BD in at O-2 which FF says 'GOOD'. I will test on 8/16 - If I can wait that long!

@thistle8677 good for you.....and even better for your SO! Lol. My fingers and toes are crossed for you!
I'm on TWW but don't know which day. I am not opening FF until AF shows or 8/26 whichever comes first. I am getting tempted to open the app to see what day I o'd and when my TWW is over but I refuse. I am sticking to my guns on this. It's definitely less stressful not having to count the days until I test.
My whole plan of waiting to POAS until the end of month and not being obsessed has been vetoed by my OB. I need to take an anti inflammatory for my knee (sprained tendon) and because I'm in my TWW I cannot take it without taking a pregnancy test first. Ugh.
Thanks @emsmama15 Even though, I knew it probably wasn't our month, the disappointment was still there. I wish I could say I gulped down a bottle of wine last night, but I wasn't even feeling like doing that. I start my cleanse next week and new healthy eating, so I'm looking forward to getting my body right first. I should've started with that!

@happyktmom I'm sorry What kind of cleanse are you planning? I'm on day 3 of ketogenic. I decided I needed to up my game with managing my health with food. Good luck to you xo
@thistle8677, I am doing the 3 day refresh by Beachbody and then on to the Shakeology and 21 day fix. I have 4 people doing it with me, so it should help! How do you feel with yours?

Today is the day AF should arrive. Sometimes I'm a couple of days long. Not here yet. I haven't POAS yet, mostly because deep down I know I'm going to feel disappointed. I'm starting to feel a little crampy like AF is about to start.
Tested this morning because AF didn't show up overnight. Got a BFN. I'm sure I'll start today or tomorrow. I'm not temping right now. I'm thinking I should start to make sure I'm ovulating. It just seems so confusing. Lol. Are there any tutorials I can read? :-/ Now, it's waiting to see when we can try again.
Well looks like a got the worlds faintest BFP yesterday at 9dpo. It's almost not even there so I'm not really sure. Could be evap line but I've never seen one nor have I ever tested this early. OB did not want to risk me taking something that could affect the pregnancy so I have test daily before taking meds for my knee just in case.
Tested again this morning at 10dpo with first response digital and test is saying error. I have one more so I will be testing later today I suppose. ~X(
@Goldsgirl9 - do you pee in a cup and then dip the stick? I've gotten errors when I try to pee directly on the stick because, I'm going to be honest, I have no sense of aim with my pee stream and I probably get the whole darn thing wet. Just a thought...

Well I tried the second digital and got a BFP. I wasn't even sure I peed enough on it. We feel kind numb about it because of the losses this year. DH wants me to retest. He thinks it's too soon. It's so weird to feel very business like about this and not excited.
The positive this far is that I have had no spotting. Last two losses I had spotting on and off before BFP. Gonna call OB tomorrow and see what he wants to do. Not sure if he'll want to test betas right away or wait until I am a little further along. Usually he sees patients immediately with 48 follow up but with my losses and I don't know what he'll want to do.
@jennOK, I meant to answer you before and got caught up in @Goldsgirl9's news. If you go onto Fertility Friend - either the website or the app, they have a TON of tutorials for temping and charting. They are awesome and will teach you everything you ever wanted to know (and then some) about it!! Good luck!

@Goldsgirl9 that's very hopeful! Fingers crossed for you (but also so much empathy for the error. I hate that!!!)
