  • Hi I'm 7 dpo. I don't have a great feeling about this cycle despite decent timing 0-, 0. I usually have sore boobs in the tww, they were only sore 1 & 2 dpo. Normally I'm colder than usual the week b4 AF, I've been cold yesterday & today. My bbt is high and steady with a clear O indication. I will just wait for AF to show up. Good luck ladies

  • About 3-4 days DPO here. I feel hopeful about this cycle for reasons that I cannot explain. I also feel like I have this weird "open" sensation in my belly. And, to be even more crazy, last night, my LO started bending over and looking back through his legs and waving. He has never done that before and I read a long time ago that it's an old wives tale that when your kid does that, s/he is looking for their new sibling and it's a sign of pregnancy. He's doing it again today and I'm doing my best to remember that old wives' tales are just that. And this one is a particularly nutty one. But still. You said crazy is okay, right?! It's gonna be a long two weeks. :)

  • I am praying and crossing everything for you guys!!!!!
  • Should be a couple of days post O. I'm pretty relaxed. Not really expecting anything. I'll test on the 24th if no AF by then.
  • More crazy here--DH has been stressed at work and with some health stuff and so we have been bickering more than normal. I'm trying to avoid it, but seem to keep walking into things without realizing they'll become a bigger deal than anticipated. I keep talking to potential baby and praying that fights won't affect conception. We love each other and will love a new baby if/when we conceive. I keep finding myself reassuring him/her if that and saying it's okay to come on. :) I may be losing it. Haha.
  • Not sure what DPO I am. My temp didn't shift yet but had a +OPK 5 days ago. Good luck ladies!!!
    Me: 36 DH: 42
    San Diego, CA

    TTC #1 since June 2015

    Prior D&C due to blighted ovum 2003



  • In the TWW, AF due Sept 26th. 

    We are on Month 5 of TTC.  Again I am 38 will be 39 in Nov.

    Previous Cycles did OPKs, tracked cycle days.  So after re-reading sections TCOF, tried this month to temp, but I don't think I charted right or maybe I sleep sometimes with my mouth open, so it is not working (temps were all over the place)  nothing like what I see here or on sample charts.  

    So this month we are just doing as the Dr. recommended (the old fashion was of just have sex).  Usually I O somewhere from CD 12 - 14.  So this month we BD on EOD (CD 10, 12 and 14).  I had some down time and was able to work from home with made for more time to BD.

    We will see, FX.  

    Today is CD 16, I feel a bit odd getting little tingles in my stomach region, but that could be all in my head or just what I had to eat yesterday, LOL.  This weekend was a large nesting weekend, my SO (DH) and I, have family visiting in a two weeks so we rented a carpet cleaner and did a good deep clean of the house.  I guess that and more chores will help keep me busy as I go though the TWW

  • Sporty1216 - My SO and I have had our share of tiffs lately too.  I feel he is being really sensitive and grumpy.  Usually I am the one that bitches but he has taken on he role.  I think the stress of TTC effects everyone differently.   I feel I am just motivated to get alot of goals around the house done and he just wants to push everything off. 
  • Thanks, @11chicago11 Sorry you guys are having tiffs too, but it's nice to know we're not alone. Here's hoping for fewer tiffs and more BFPs! ;)
  • BFN at 12 dpo using an early results test, so I'm out.
