  • *update*

    I'm stuck in limbo land...such a terrible place to be. FF says I'm at 15dpo but I think she must have gotten my O date wrong because AF should be here by now. Feeling some nausea from time to time, on and off cramps, super moody, very tired, and temp today was 98.0. I took another test and it was a BFN. If AF is going to come then she should come already! I hate all this waiting!!!

    I hope your wait ends soon!

  • I hope you get an answer one way or the other soon, @jilligan14. That's where I was last weekend and, as much as I wanted to be surprised with a BFP, it was also a sort of relief when AF came just because I had an answer. Hang in there and keep us updated!
  • @jilligan14 omg, that's torture. Still have my fx for you...

  • Hi all! I'm 6dpo and AF is due October 5th. (this is my first TWW) Feeling a bit bloated and some on/off cramping. I probably won't test, only if AF is late. But you never know....
  • @jilligan14 Sorry mama! I'm 15DPO today and started spotting. Ugh. I have my FX for you!!!! SOMEONE needs to get a damn BFP this cycle girlfriend!

  • I'm 9DPO and I started spotting.  Really upset after this first round of IUI. It never gets easier, especially after moving up to the next level.  I've been having my pity party crying at everything today.  FX for everyone else... hoping you all have better weekends than I do.

  • So so sorry @kellymarie0486 Be kind to yourself today.
  • Umm...this is such a welcoming and supportive page, but I feel like a not-yet-35-year-old stranger just posted a pregnant chart for a bunch of struggling women to see. Am I crazy? If so, please tell me and I will be welcoming and supportive.

    @BOH1025 I wasn't sure of your intentions, but since you apologized, I will assume your intentions were good.  I hope you get your BFP, and if not, you are welcome here until you do.

  • Oh, dang it, @jilligan14 I just asked about this on another thread and then saw you had updated here. I'm so sorry AF showed. I was really hoping you were going to surprise us with a BFP! Please do eat all of the chocolate. You deserve it.
  • The crying is real. I'm crying today because ovulation is coming soon and I'm stressed out about the TWW already and we haven't even had a chance to BD! And then I'm crying because I'm not supposed to be stressed out. Haha. I need to go get chocolate too.
  • I had a good cry earlier as well. I'm 8dpo and I'm 99% sure I'm out this cycle - arghhhhhhh!!!! I had the tiniest bit of brown/pink cm when I wiped and AF always starts that way for me. My rational side knows that's what's going on, but my emotional side holds on to the 1% chance that its IB (which it never is and I didn't have before my last BFP, anyway). I am just sooooooo sick of the ups and down of TTC. I'm doing everything that I did when I got my last BFP and then some and still, I can't seem to make it happen. October is going to suck b/c my mother and my sister and her family are all going to be visiting during my FW. November is going to suck b/c SO and I have out-of-town conferences one after the other during the FW, so we probably won't even get one BD in. I wish I could be more optimistic, but knowing that AF is on her way just makes me an angry, ranting lunatic.

  • @jilligan14 She said she usually posts on the TTC board and she's not 35 yet, and her chart definitely looked pregnant.  It seemed like odd timing to join us. It would make more sense to post that on her usual board. Just wanted to put that out there, in case I look like a horrible person.
    It makes sense to be upset. I don't think you're a horrible person at all @CarrieandRoy (just for the record, I adore you). I didn't realize she was on the TTC board. That does seem strange that she'd pop over here just to share her chart. I thought she just hadn't read the intro rules and didn't realize how sensitive these things are.

    I just finished drinking a big mug of homemade chocolate drink. I used coconut milk, cocoa powder, carob powder, cinnamon, stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, vanilla, and monkfruit sweetener (a new sweetener I'm using per my acupuncturist's suggestion). OMG. My world just got a lot better.

    So sorry for those who feel like AF is coming. Where are the BFP's???

    I'm still spotting over here, so like @Mamafesto I'm holding on to that 1% chance of IB, but I know the realities and have had my pity party.  We need a good BFP from someone actually over 35 soon.  I started to bake a cake at 10pm not realizing the time.  I'm not even going to frost it and save it for my mini pity party I have tomorrow night when I'm on my own (DH will be at school).

    I hope everyone has a better start to this week.  This past week sucked.  I'm ready for a more positive week, even if it is to get started with a new cycle which brings new hope.  That felt very Star Wars-ish typing that.  haha.  And no humping of couches, either. :P
  • @Piperella - you're starting the week with cake, so you're off to a better start than me!  I'm so looking forward to AF on Saturday.  New cycle, new hope, like you said.
