*lurking* @justsuzie Congrats! Try to stay calm about not having strong symptoms. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow by LMP and 6 weeks by ovulation, but have almost no symptoms. I have seen baby twice by ultrasound and it was not only measuring 3 days ahead, but it also had a heartbeat before we expected!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Congratulations @justsuzie!!! That's so exciting! It's always nice to see so many notifications waiting ... it usually means good news!
@hdaley, that's excellent timing. I only got in -3 and -1.
Who else is still here? I'm at 10DPO. *TW* I've been getting squinters every day ... it seems like they're getting darker, but I'm going to just give my eyes and mind a break for a couple of days. Or try to, anyway. The anxiety is too much!
@pandawares - good idea to give your eyes a break - I still think 10dpo is too early to test. I never test really. I guess I always assume AF comes as she has all months even with the pregnancy I had in December. If I ever not got my AF or spotting I wouldn't know what to do lol.
I think I'm about 5dpo and I'm hoping the prog. helps us this time. We also got -3 and -1, I think we also got -5 as well but I can't remember.
Cd 28 today guys! 11-12dpo. Negative test yesterday. Usually my cycles range from 23-29 days. I'm testing again on Wednesday cd 30 if AF doesn't show by then. How is everyone else doing?

Baby #2: BFP on 11/11/2016, EDD 7/25/2017 - MC 1/2/2017
well I'm already getting negative about not being pregnant even though I'm using these suppositories - I just feel like it may never happen. I think I'm 6dpo.
@sp128 - I don't want to get my hopes up and then have a major meltdown when AF comes so protecting myself with negativity I feel might help me. ha! Its frustrating too because this is my last cycle for a 2017 baby.
@vlagrl29 me as well. I'm feeling like I'll need some medical assistance to speed things up. We want two. Can't even manage with one. Ain't getting any younger even though I'm not old

@vlagrl29@SP128 I feel the same as you ladies. So much so I'm almost resigning to that fact of never. We didn't try this month so I know I'm here just waiting for AF anyway but I'm feeling less than optimistic about continuing to try. Lol I'm probably just tired so I'm being a pessimistic pants
@SP128- I know what you mean. It was so easy for us to conceive DD and I know we can't afford all that IUI IVF stuff. Sometimes I wonder if we are meant to be one and done even though we have always wanted 2. Maybe there is a higher power that says its not the right time yet. Maybe it will happen a year or 2 from now. I'm mentally prepared for it to take at least 6 months to conceive this time around as it took 6 months to get pregnant in December. DH and I talked this morning that if I'm not pregnant this cycle we are going to look into switching to a cheaper premium insurance plan on the market place for the rest of this year.
so sorry @hdaley I know the feeling all too well. we had great timing last month and zip. this month i think we still had decent timing but just not as much BD as last month. I find I get really negative in the TWW and very optimistic in the waiting to O.
@MimoCa@SP128@vlagrl29 I totally hear ya ladies--lately definitely thinking, "what if this never happens?" Still remind myself that my life is amazing and still trying to live in the present. I started using the Headspace app and I think it's helping calm my inner monologue a bit....
I decided to go thru the upstairs closet today and got all of DDs baby blankets out and stored them in the basement. That was harder than I thought. I had assumed I would be using them by now. I think next month I'll go thru the basement and weed thru some things. I think I will donate most of my maternity clothes from 6 years ago.
Well, DH's birthday isn't the lucky charm I was hoping it would be. BFN today at 12 dpo. AF is due Friday, so I may not be out, but I also am getting a ton of EWCM and watery CM that is super confusing. So I think I'm definitely out. One more cycle before DH leaves for 6 months.
im on CD 28 (Cycle has been around 34 days since my MC), so I'm still waiting to test. I guess it's 9DPO according to my app, but I never had a positive using an OPK this month (my first time trying). I'm feeling symptoms, like growing boobs and being tired, oh so tired. But I'm gonna try to wait til Friday to test. I might sneak one in there though...
But alas, I pretty much have that same feeling that it's not gonna happen. That these ladies will shrink and AF will be here before I know it.
@wmartnz7 I think the TWW is *all* about being hopeful and hopeless at the same time . Headspace is an app that has 10 min daily meditations and a bunch of other stuff (meditations for sleep, fear of flying, SOS for bad days, etc.). I'm making my way through the first 10 day 10 min sessions and it's pretty cool-free 30 day period.
@vlagrl29 I know exactly what you mean. I started vacuum sealing all of the baby clothes we've decided to keep, and I could only go through a few before I was in tears. That was right after my loss earlier this month.
@babypi I always take any sort of CF as a positive sign after ovulation. It's reacting to the estrogen in your body, which can be from either the corpus luteum or a pregnancy. You're not out until you're out! That said, I'm sorry for the BFN. That always sucks.
@wmartnz7 With my last two pregnancies (both CPs, sadly), I was so, so, so fatigued. I would fall asleep at 7 or 8 several nights, despite the fact that I normally have severe insomnia. I also couldn't get through some days without a nap after the work day was over.
@wmartnz7 & @MimoCa Headspace is great. The narrator for the first series is Australian (?) and has an amazing voice. I've been meditating on and off for years now, and I always love it when I do it. The only strength you need is the strength to sit down! Or lie down, in my case. It's so much more relaxing for me. The first series actually addresses the fact that you don't have to be "good" at meditating in order to do it ... and you get better the more you do it, just like with everything. There's at least one metaphor/exercise for dealing with intrusive thoughts in the first few episodes, and there's a period of time in the ten minutes in which you release control and let your brain do whatever it wants. I actually find that much more difficult than focusing!
@vlagrl29 Yep. It was early, and I never even got more than a squinter. Tons of symptoms, though. Ugh. AF was very light afterward, and then I Od way earlier than I expected.

Trying to balance being hopeful and hopeless.
