I think I'm a little late to the game here but I am legitimately at a loss haha. Also, I'm sorry if this isn't exactly the right spot for this post...it was the one I thought made the most sense.
Sooo, I am on CD 32, and 15 DPO. AF was supposed to show yesterday on 14 DPO (I am very regular) so I tested first thing yesterday morning and nothing. I stared at that silly little single line for a minute and threw it away (then picked it out of the garbage a few minutes later just to be sure- still BFN).
I really started feeling things around 9 or 10 DPO.
Symptoms:
- Extreme fatigue which initially I thought was from my underperforming adrenal glands but my naturopath confirmed that my adrenal numbers were much better than several months ago so that wouldn't be the reason for being so damn sleepy. Still SO.FREAKING.TIRED.
-Weird little cramping in lower abdomen- sort of like AF cramps but really, really mild. This is unusual for me. These went on and off for several days right up to 14 DPO
-Get this, diarrhea AND constipation- varying literally from one day to the next- not entirely uncommon though as I have IBS but this was a little uncalled for I'd say.
- Aches in my lower back. Again, went on and off for several days
- Mood swings...but, this is weird. Instead of being cranky or sad like I usually get before AF, I was more like...Happy? Elated? Strangely at peace? Even at work!! Really strange as my job generally has me feeling agitated lol. Only just yesterday have I felt more weepy and moody.
-Started feeling unwell in the late afternoons/evenings. Headachy, not nauseous or queasy but just unsettled. Also, I felt like I was running a low grade fever (I never checked to actually see if my temperature was higher). Felt little aches in my knees and wrists.
-Increased CM..TMI, sorry folks. There was plenty right from after O-day and after we, ya know Now it's kinda watery/creamy and ok, TMI again, now I can FEEL it, down there. I've been dashing to the ladies room, anxious to see if AF arrived. Nope.
- Sore BOOBS! I was at first a little concerned because they had felt very normal up until 11 DPO. Then they started to feel a little tender, then they felt really tender. Then they GREW...OMG did they ever get big for a couple days (My BF loved it til I told him for the love of god don't touch them!!!) The girls WILL get tender before AF but they have never had that kind of size increase and not this close to the arrival of dear auntie F. Currently they still feel bigger than usual and a touch sore but the left one seems to have "deflated" a little bit haha.
Now, it seems that almost all my symptoms have vanished, WTH?!? I would understand if AF decided to show, but not even the slightest, teensiest, tiniest, little smudge.
I'm so confused. If my period shows up I am legit going to lose my mind...putting my mind and body through this torture. I suppose, I'm still ok until AF actually does show up though, right? Right???
WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?!
Actually @JenLMac1988 - this board is for TTC for those who are 35+...from reading a post of yours from January you are only 28, so maybe this isn't the best spot for your update. We also prefer you to introduce yourself in a separate post before posting in these types of threads. Sorry if I sound harsh...just stating the facts.

morning ladies
CD: 24, DPO: 11
Timing, Great. -4, -2, -1, O
I tested this morning and the test was questionable at best. I saw a line within 15 minutes but it was barely there and 15 minutes is outside the window they recommend to look so who the heck knows. I'm going to wait a few more days to test again.
Today is my 37th birthday, so it would have been nice, but I'm going to enjoy the day regardless!
Symptoms: ridiculous amounts of creamy CM ever since CD 4. Hasn't stopped. A few times I've had to run to the bathroom thinking AF came early.
Today I have a sore back and some abdominal aching. Kind of feels like AF symptoms, but no spotting yet. Typically I spot around 6 DPO and this time I didn't, so FX crossed it'll all work out!
Good luck to you ladies as well!!!

That sounds really promising nonetheless that you saw a faint line. I rarely test b/c AF always comes, but when I have, I have looked back after it's already in the garbage and never ever saw a faint line. I am hoping you get a BFP for your birthday, even if it's a late one!!!!!

Thanks so much ladies!! it's so hard because I feel like if you look hard enough you'll see a line regardless and I don't want to drive myself crazy about it. (but of course I will hahaha) I'm at work today but going out for dinner with my family tonight. Nothing much else planned. I'm seeing Carrie Underwood on the 28th and that's my bday present
I'll keep you updated!!

@lisswastaken sounds like you may be our BFP this time! I have definitely fished tears out of the garbage (pretty much every time I test...) and never, ever had a faint anything, so I think maybe you just tested a little early? Keeping my fingers crossed!!

i forgot got to say I am on CD21 today, 8 DPO. For the first cycle EVER I can say that, and that feels so good! I used the ClearBlue that gives your 4 most fertile days and it worked great! Our timing was good: -2,-1,0,+1. Dr said to estimate for next cycle (end of summer in our case) and try to add a day earlier and a day later, in case that's helpful to anyone else. We go on vacation Saturday for a week so I won't bring tests with me. Will see how that goes. Distraction is key. I feel so much calmer about the whole thing this month, just excited for some quality family time before DH leaves.
thanks for all the FX. Good luck to everyone else!

@Lisswastaken - so sorry it's not looking favorable for you, but I'm still holding out hope for you!!!!
@aim22 - good luck to you! I hope you find the OPK works well for you and it gets you on the right track.
I had more light brown mucus yesterday and more cramping yesterday, almost was going to use a liner but I think it's over. Definitely different feeling than when I get cramps for AF, there was sort of a sharpness to it. I've had a cold this week and I've not been taking anything other than Tylenol and it really sucks!!! I had a really intense, acid-trip like dream yesterday when I was napping that I was pregnant. Not that I saw myself pregnant in the dream, but this weird writing in the sky was like swirling dots and the word "Yes" kept appearing and then the swirls were a trail left there by a sperm and then the sperm turned into a pregnancy test wand and the word "Yes" was written over it and I kept saying "Yes" very joyfully. If that doesn't make one BSC, I don't know what will.
I told H about the cramping and spotting and what it could mean, I never know whether to bring him into my BSC brain or not, but I usually don't for all of my other "imagined" symptoms. I don't think he's reading too much into at this point, just asked me when AF was due, I guess so he will know when I will test.

@lisswastaken sorry about the bfn after the squinter, still not out though!
I'm supposed to be 3 DPO, but not totally sure, I had my O pains on both sides this time, one day apart and only for about 1 hour each (usually I have 1-2 whole days of O pain), I'm going to chalk it up to the HSG maybe changing things this month? That or those weren't O pains and I'm going to ovulate late again this month.
Trying hard to be cautiously positive this month due to the increased chances with the HSG, but I seem to either get stuck in negative land or crazy-town....middle ground is so hard to stick to!
i did start drinking pomegranate juice (I mix it with a fizzy lime water to make it tastier and because it's expensive! And to cut down the sugar content) and am trying to add yoga on a regular basis to combat stress (we are doing some reno on our house). I finally closed on my house in Portland, and since everything that could have gone wrong did - that's a lot of stress gone!
Hoping we we get some BFPs this month!! I have a good feeling that we will

@BaylieGirl sorry about your BFN but never say never. It's still super early. FX that your hubby will get his wish
As for me, today is CD 28, 15 DPO.
AF is "due" tomorrow. As of right now I have no symptoms either way which is odd. If She doesn't show I'll test again Tuesday morn
