punkymama · November 2010

Ok ladies!

Share how you are feeling, what your phantom symptoms are, your phantom due date and most importantly, when are you testing Stick out tongue

Also, 1 day away from Thanksgiving for the US, what are you most thankful for this year?

btsrc5 · November 2010

I had a slight temp drop this morning, so I was disappointed and upset, thinking AF might come. Then I just went to the bathroom and had some spotting. I am pretty sure AF will be here today or tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to me..

Sorry to be a debbie downer. I am just really upset right now.

asyph107 · November 2010

Phantom symptoms- stomach upset, and ate cinnamon (which I hate). Both of which happened during my last PG.

Phantom Due date 8/8/11, which would make it exactly 2 months before DS?s 2^nd birthday, yay and yikes at the same time.

If I can keep myself away from the HPT, I will test on Sunday?maybe I can wait that long.

wannabemommy30 · November 2010

3 dpo here so no symptoms. My phantom due date is August 14th. I am not testing this time unless I am late.

It's ok, TTC can be frustrating and you have every right to feel down ((hugs))

Mel2000go · November 2010

I am 6 dpo (still believing it is 5 though). No phantom symptoms yet. My EDD is around August 12th.

I am most thankful for my family. They have been very supportive during this whole TTC journey. And I am also thankful that I have 5 days off for the holiday!

I think I am in the same boat as you. Of course my temp drop looks more like a nosedive. I dont think it will recover. So I am anticipating AF tomorrow...such perfect timing. Sad

So I guess no testing for me this month. I am surprised I held out.

So we can start the "debbie downer club " together.

NDGOIRISH · November 2010

Phantom symptoms - No appetite, lower back pain and ovary area pain off and on.

AF Symptoms?? My breasts are slightly tender, so I'm thinking that's AF-related which is ticking me off. I feel fairly par for the course this month. Booh!

When will I test?? I'm going to try and hold off until next Wednesday, I would be CD 27 and 11 DPO. I'm a pretty solid 28 days in my cycle.

Good luck to you all and Happy Thanksgiving!

ohsaysaysay · November 2010

I don't know when to test!! Tested yesterday and it was negative. Honestly didn't think I would make it through yesterday with no AF. My last LP was 9 days, and here I am at 12DPO and no AF in sight. I have no more cramps, my boobs are still sore. I started temping again to see if she was gonna be coming, and my temp dropped a bit. I still don't think she's coming today. I don't know what to do!

Azrayla · November 2010

2 dpo here.. no symptoms (though I had none with DD so it'd surprise me if I had some) ill be testing probably dec first. I'll be ten dpo. My phantom due date would be august 15th

What I'm most thankful for... my DH for sure as he's been there for me over a very emotional year and my DD.

punkymama · November 2010

9 DPO with a big temp drop and I had cramping last night, AF should be here in another day or 2.

I won't test, I will wait for AF to rear her UG-MUG. I think I need to resign to the fact that I will have to have an IUI in January.

I am most thankful for having a wonderful and supportive DH who has been on this crazy TTC journey with me and who always been there to let me know it will be ok. He's been so strong and solid when I couldn't be.

ClemsonBride07 · November 2010

Only 4 dpo. I've been nauseous in the mornings until I eat something with some mild cramping off and on- really trying to not focus on that to get my hopes up bc this is only my first month off bcp. I know that it's possible but unlikely. The phantom dd would be 8/16. We will see... I am very thankful for my loving and supportive DH who encourages me, yet keeps me grounded Smile

Probably won't test until 12/3.

It's hard when your LP is the longest ever and you got a BFN.

If you temp is up tomorrow morning I would test again, GL!

lp0 · November 2010

I'm still here (big sigh) at 14DPO. I got another bfn this morning on an IC and a slight temp drop. Hoping it shoots back up tomorrow and I'll get my bfp soon. My boobs are killing me yesterday and today but completely different then how they usually feel before af shows. They feel sensitive to even a light touch, almost like a sunburn. My dd would be Aug. 3rd.

*edit* for spelling

ccam · November 2010

Good morning!

I'm somewhere in the 2ww... probably around 8 dpo, not too sure because I took a month off from temping. No sumptoms really, just a little cramping and twinges. My phantom due date is 8/5 - my Dad and me were both born on 8/2, so that would be pretty close! I'm going to wait until next week to test - probably Monday or Tuesday.

I'm most thankful for my family this year - I don't know what I'd do without them!

MrsNash37212 · November 2010

Hi all, no big change in the phantom symptoms for me. My cramping was super slight yesterday and I've had some pretty annoying back pain, but nothing else really. I'm 8DPO and after listening to that siren call of the ICs yesterday, I'm really going to hold out until Sunday. My phantom due date is August 9th, 2011. Not ideal since our anniversary is the 5th and we've always said we would celebrate that with a trip sans kids, but hey it's only a 20% chance I have to worry about that anyway, right?

I'm most thankful for how this entire year has turned out. I've been blessed to cross everything off of my pre-kids "bucket list", my sister is pregnant, DH has a good job... we're very fortunate. I've probably been too lucky in everything else to get a BFP this year Stick out tongue

Jackson721 · November 2010

I am 15 DPO and have been super tired, crampy, sore boobs, and certain smells are getting to me. My temp has been staying up (my cycles are usually 29-30 days). If my temp is still up tomorrow I think I am going to test although I am so nervous to test.

I am Thankful for my supporative family. I don't know what I would do withouth them!

eesome · November 2010

I am feeling okay.

I have been feeling nausea in the mornings the past couple days, and some cramping that feels like O pain cramps. I am also really tired, but that could be due to work/school stress.

I will be testing this Sunday. : )

I am most thankful for a healthy family and a good career. I feel very blessed.

catahoulatte · November 2010

I am 9DPO and having some light cramps Sad . No spotting, I just hope that this doesn't mean I am going to get AF tomorrow instead of a BFP. I have been holding out hope for an awful lot of you all, and it doesn't seem like we are getting good news today Crying

Still going to test tomorrow if she doesn't show

I am thankful that my husband's birthday dinner for 10 went off without a hitch at our house last night, and that we very recently got a new, bigger dining room table with leaves to make it 10 feet long, because we needed it!!

LadyBugLove7 · November 2010

I'm still crampy like I was yesterday...don't really think it's a phantom symptom at this point. My phantom due date is August 6th. I'll be testing on December 1st.

Happy Turkey Day, a day early!

MrsSonny24 · November 2010

8 DPO nothing new to report, still having the nipple pain. I've been severly bloated and my boobs are HUGE, i got on the scale this morning and i'm up 2.5 pds since 2 days ago. I know it's just that i'm retaining water, but wow!!! I had a major temp dip this morning, i'm praying that it's an implementation dip. AF isn't due for 6 more days.

How have you not tested yet?! You are stronger than I would be if I had your chart, GL! POAS in the AM!!!!!

Cat, I was about to page you and tell you to get your butt in here Smile You could be having the good cramps, I am still hopeful for you!!! I am glad to hear YH's birthday dinner went so well, I am sure that was a huge relief. GL tomorrow!

erikaja6 · November 2010

I have a couple of mild phantom symptoms (ex. nausea), but I am trying really hard to ignore them. My phantom due date would be August 6th. I am only testing if AF is late (Tuesday morning).

I am thankful for having wonderful family and friends.

buckyfan30 · November 2010

I'm near 5 dpo (I decided this month to not temp) so who knows for sure. I'm going to test on Dec 3 if no AF the day before... I'm having heartburn, which is unusual for me, and cramping as usual.

kjaada · November 2010

12dpo for me...feeling crabby and just blah...so I am sure AF is on her way. Wishing now that I charted this cycle..def gonna start though.

I am so weak when it comes to testing...lol I will basically be testing daily until AF is here. Seeing the BFNs help me adjust to the fact its not gonna happen this time, and keeps me from getting too excited with each day.

I still have back pains...sides of my boobs are sore (nothing too bad though)...slight indigestion....weird dreams (including sexual ones...woot!!), Was having what felt like o cramping but it has stopped for the most part.

I am most thankful for my amazing husband!

Brytany09 · November 2010

I'm 13dpo. I feel like I'm peeing a ton, but who knows how much of that is in my mind? Besides that, super tired and had some weird cramps last night. They didn't feel like AF cramps, but you never know. My temp dropped by .1 degree, I'm hoping it will spike tomorrow and I'm not out this cycle.(If anyone wants to stalk my chart feel free to!) My EDD would be August 4. I am testing Friday.

NNGnome · November 2010

Oooh, my first 2 ww post, I thought I was out before I even started, as my temps took a nose dive and I started spotting on 7DPO, but the spotting never turned into AF, and todays temp jump was the highest temp I have ever had ( I had to recheck the BBT, as first I thought it said 36.2 not 37.2), and I am getting major phantom nausea symptoms.

This is only my second cycle charting, and my last LP was only 9 days, I am still only 10 DPO, and I am debating if it is to early to test, not sure which is worse, waiting or a BFN...

Peglet · November 2010

I've settled down a bit, other than obsessively checking this board. No symptoms, real or phantom. I've kind of convinced myself it's not gonna happen this month and resigned to trying again next month. I think my phantom DD was August 15. The only thing that keeps me hopeful is my sister didn't have ANY symptoms the month she conceived.

AF usually spots for a few days before it actually arrives, so if I haven't seen anything by Saturday Dec. 4 (projected AF) I'll test.

purplepolish · November 2010

12 DPO today for me. Only "symptom" for me is the complete lack of boobie pain that is usually going on about now.

GL to everyone, we need some more BPFs!

jerryliljess · November 2010

I'm only 3 DPO and I have had a headache all morning but it's probably caused by the stress at work. My phantom date will be 8/12/11 but I'm not holding out any hope because my temps are wonky (they are slowly going up and down just in the decimals though). I'm not counting myself out until it nose dives.

I'm thankful for my DH and my BFF who have been there for me when no one else has. They are so patient with me and try to keep my spirits up.

mdiblasi10 · November 2010

Like I thought, AF arrived this morning just in time for our cruise

I am not going to lie, I am really upset. Next cycle DH will likely be out of town during my fertile period. This sucks. Sorry about the self pity party. I hope the rest of you have better news this cycle!

Oh no!

I thought for sure you'd get your BFP this cycle. I'm sorry.

I am just waiting for my temp drop. My CM is now non-existent, so I am sure AF will rear it's ugly head in about a week.

btsrc5 · November 2010

Thanks punkmama. I needed those hugs J

Yes luvtiny and btay! ((hugs)) to you both. Maybe we will be cycle buddies next month.

Babybear70 · November 2010

Hey there. I'm 10DPO and so far I'm feeling pretty normal given how late I am in my cycle. No phantoms symptoms to report, just a bit of boob pain. No spotting yet which is strange for me, usually I would be spotting now to signal AF coming, but nothing. Due Date would be August 7th which is DH's birthday...HA! I think I will be testing tomorrow to see if I have something extra to be Thankful for. It might be early, but might as well give it a shot. This is the prettiest chart I have EVER had! Hopefully yesterdays little dip was from implantation!

I am most thankful for my wonderful family, who are always there with the right things to say just when I need them. I love them all....the puppy included. Sometimes her silence speaks volumes!!!

amdraza · November 2010

Yay! I just got me CHs today! That puts me at 3 DPO. No symptoms yet, and I refuse to obsess about every little temp or twinge this time! I am strongly considering not temping after about 5 DPO.

My phantom due date is August 14!! I will test on Saturday Dec. 4- 13 DPO. However, I do have some IC, so we'll see how long I last.

I am the most thankful for having my best friend as my DH and that we are able to afford the basics and then some.

Peglet · November 2010

OK I lied, my phantom symptom is random dizziness...I don't even know if that's a symptom...
