Hi Ladies! I am looking for some 2ww wait buddies and everyone is welcome. I've been off for a while as AF finally came (60+day cycle) on its own and I've been trackng this cycle with OPK kits and CM checking. I normally have a 36-38 day cycle and should have ovulated today according to my cycle calendar (if everything was perfect-which we know it is not) but last Friday (the 25th) I noticed EWCM so I took a OPK and it was positve so BD on Friday,Sunday, Monday. I was also testing to see if I misjudged the test but I'm pretty sure I detected my surge and my body gave me signs that I was ovulating. So I am between 6-7 DPO if I am correct. I haven't had any more EWCM since Saturday and sorry if TMI but its sticky and white now (lovely I know), my nipples are sore, cramps and pinches and now I have a stuffy nose. I am being carefully optimistic-cause it could be anything!! My AF is due between the 10th and 12th. Anyone else in the same boat? ↓

Hey Tiggy...I am also in the tww. I am 8dpo and on prometrium for low progestrone (first cycle) so I'm praying this is my month. B/c of the meds they make me feel sick so I can't say that I have had any feelings of pregnancy YET!! I'm trying to be positive without setting myself up for disappointment yanno. When are you going to test?? I would love to get my bfp b/c of mothers day and my birthday on the 14th. What a great present that would be!! Good luck and loads of baby dust!! ↑

Hey Kellywall! All the best this month! Good Luck!! I will probably be testing that weekend but keep crossing my fingers that AF does not rear her ugly head. Logically I should wait until I am a week late, as I tend to have LONG cycles, however, I am pretty sure a nailed my ovulation time so it really shouldn't be late for any other reason. ↑

Hey tiggy, i am almost at the same days you are. I think i ovulated sat, and we BD firday. So i am 4-6dpo. My af is due anyday the week of the 11. I really hope she doesn't come. I plan on testing on the 10, just cause im retarted and want to know before mothers day. That would be so cool (Kelly I am right with ya on the mothers day thing). I've had some pretty strange signs...on saturday i nearly fainted for no apparent reason and i don't faint unless there are needles around. I've had EWCM from saturday to today, but now it has not been so much, it's more creamy. I've had major crampage on my right side for the last four days and today i had some pinching in the middle area. my lower back hurts in the morning and i always have to pee in the middle of the night. Baby dust our way =] ↑

Hi - I've been a lurker for the past few days. I haven't been ttc but I do think I may be pregnant. AF is due right around the 12th.
Earlier this week, I had a bad taste in my mouth all day. I have been having bouts of naseau, my nipples hurt, and today I have some pretty bad cramps. I think it will calm my nerves to have others to talk to - so thanks =) ↑

Hey ladies...is anyone charting?? My temp shot up this morning but I really don't have any symptons so I have no idea!! B/c of my meds my boobs hurt and I feel sick but have since I started taking them. I posted on the m/c board about the meds keeping temps high. I just HATE the tww!! How is everyone else feeling?? TLC...I used to be a real lurker and some threads I always read but don't post but it really helps to have other to talk to. Where are you ladies from? Is this ttc #1? A little about me...DH and I have been ttc for 13 months now. I had a m/c in june 2005 and haven't been able to get pregnant since. I started the prometrium this cycle and hopefully will be lucky. If I don't get my BFP in the next 6 months, doc wants me to start seeing someone. This will be our first together but I am a stepmom to 3 wonderful boys!! babydust ladies. ↑

Hello Tiggy, i see you said in your post that you had sticky white cm now? sorry if tmi but mine is like a paste & cloudy (white), my af came April 18th, i've been using opk's but i was on vacation so i just started using them yesterday and today, i have been getting a line but its VERY light, i've been VERY emotional, crying over everything and anything, moody, sore boobs, TIRED all the time, and just feeling like poop. I took a test but not with fmu and it was negative, so i think its too early, but i dont know if my ovulation past or is coming up on me and im getting the symptoms. ↑

I'm originally from WI, but I live just outside of Philly now. This would be number 1 for me - but not really ttc. I'm 23 and in a relationship, I guess this would make it real serious though lol (after I re-read this - I realized that was a tacky joke - I have a bad sense of humor - sorry).
I did take a test and got a bfn, but no surprise - af isn't due until the 12th. so next weekend I think I'll take another. Dollar store tests work wonders on a budget =) ↑

Yay! More people to share the 2 ww with!!!! It drives me crazy so I am glad we are all here to chat! britt4477-that cool that we are sharing the same dates-and agree with you wanting to test early-I've just had so many BFN's I am waiting till I am sure I am late. kellywall-I am not charting but this is also my 2nd month using OPK kits. I tend to have somewhat irregular cycles since coming off BC pills so it takes the guess work out as I have been wrong in the past! However, I am probably going to start charting if I am not PG. Meelliissaaxo I haven't noticed it that much anymore, however its more creamy and cloudy now. I was checking and using OPK tests until the 30th because my tracking calendar told me that I would be Oing on the 30th but the tests and body signs told me otherwise. Basically last Friday I got a positve (test line darker than comparison line) and everyday since it had been getting lighter and lighter so I am pretty sure I caught my fertile time. In your case, its seems like your getting a negative O result, but who knows right? I started feeling funny 2 DPO and they say its not possiable 'cause the embryo hasn't implanted yet. Still having sore nipples, pulls and twinges and slight cramps (though not as bad) and now I have a head cold, yay!!! Just misery I tell ya. A little bit about me...I'm 28, married and TTC my first one. My hubby says I am more moody lately too. Then I smacked him..LOL just kidding!!!!!! Anyhoo-Tons of babydust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ↑

Hi ladies, so i am originally from MT, but i'm currently in AZ. Me and my DH have been together for three years and this will be our first. I'm getting a little discouraged though because i don't really have many symptoms. My cramping is not as bad now, every now and then i get some cramps or twinges. My nipples are sore and my boobs feel fuller but it might just be all in my head? I've also had some butterfly feelings in my lower abdomen. I guess i have a few signs. Tiggy, i think that you can feel symptoms as soon as the sperm meat the egg because if you think about it, it starts growing before it implants and your body has to know that something is growing inside of you. I had a very strange fainting spell 2 dpo and that is what got be thinking that i might be pg. TLC...af is due for me on the 12 also and i've also had a funny taste in my mouth, like i just ate a lot of salt. I'm not charting this month, but if i'm not pg then next month i definetly will. *dumping baby dust on everyone* ↑
Name: ALittleTLC | Date: May 2nd, 2008 7:29 AM
Britt - The taste was so strange - made me nauseous all day long. Yesterday/last night I started have pain twinges in my abdomen. Not like cramps - they were different, plus I was a bit constipated (TMI -sorry). So, I'm getting a bit more nervous.
I finally told the boyfriend last night that I think something is up, but not for sure. After his initial "I'll be putting you down" (it was a joke) he said that I guess we will just have to go baby shopping then. So, it made me feel a bit better.
I agree with you Tiggy and Britt. According to calendars, implantation occurs for me tomorrow. But I think you can feel it right away. It was only 2 or 3 dpo for me before the bad taste and nauseau hit. I didn't even think I was pregnant until I told someone at work what I was feeling and she said "You're def pregnant." ↑

Good morning Ladies...well I woke up this morning sweating and my temps are I still up. I pray that this is my month. My boobs are still tender but they usually are right before a/f so we'll see. I have noticed that my mouth is watering the last day or so...guess we'll see. I was going to test on sunday but since I'm going over to my mom's that day I know I won't be able to keep it a secret until mothers day if I am pregnant. I'm 10dpo today. How is everyone feeling today? Tiggy, I have never used the OPK's...how do you find they are working for you? I use FF and find it a great way to keep track of my cycle. Melissa. when is your a/f due? I have been really tired myself...going to bed so early but I think part of that is the meds I'm on but we'll see. GL. Britt...when i was pregnant before I fainted a week before I found out I was pregnant so that is a good thing (i know that sounds nuts!! lol) When are you doing to test? Baby dust ladies. I have to get ready for work soon....take care ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 2nd, 2008 6:03 PM
kellywall, that makes me so much more hopeful =]. Do you think that maybe the dad to be could have like a sixth sence about having a baby or being pregnant? Well this is why i asked, we weren't ttc, but it would be great if we are pregnant, but i haven't told him what i think is up just cause if i am i want it to be a complete surprise. So last sunday, he woke up and said he had a dream that we were gonna have a baby, of course in his dream he was gonna have the baby =] haha, but stil it is curious cause the night before was when i fainted.?. TLC, I wish i had nausea, as bad as that sounds lol, but my mother said that she would have really strong morning sickness durring implantation. I just want a really strong sign to come along. Nothing too new going on, i get really hot when i wake up in the morning and i have to pee a lot. My mouth has been watering more lately too, my boobs seem bigger than normal but they don't hurt, just my nipples. anywho i want to test this weekend just cause im curious, but i know it will turn out bad, it's probably too early. i really hope aunt flow doesn't come *****************dumping baby dust on everyone***************** ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 2nd, 2008 8:56 PM
im pretty sure my boobs have gotten a lot bigger, to the point where i need a new bra, and im bloated. ↑
Name: Tiggy | Date: May 2nd, 2008 9:16 PM
Wow!! We sound so promising!!!! No new signs for me that I can notice, but when you guys started bringing up the 6th sense I sure can relate. I did have a dream that I had a baby and I could see HER perfectly with her little dark eyes, brown hair and she was a new born. It was so vivid to me. kellywall-the OPK's are good for tracking the timeframe that you would ovulate, so it gave me my window of oppurtunity, however, they are expensive and not bang on like a BBT would be I think so that is why I was planning to chart, more of a sure thing..however if I am pregnant than I may change my tune a little! lol. It just makes me feel more optimistic that I timed it right, rather than guessing and being way off, I have evidence now lol. britt...I agree about the morning sickness, I swear I have had every PG sign out there except actually having bad nausea and vomiting, that I think would be more of a definate sign for me, lol. Well again it all sounds promising and I am rooting for all of you, babydust galore!! ↑
Name: Tiggy | Date: May 2nd, 2008 9:29 PM
ALittleTLC-your signs sound solid! and you know, women have said that they have just known! Good luck and keep us informed! BTW very cool that your BF is so cool with everything. My hubby gets heart palpatiations as the thought makes him nervous-he thinks he will be terrible with fatherhood (he had tough times as a kid, alcholic father etc) but I have seen him with our babies (2 cats-lol) and his friends children and he is wonderful...he just doesn't know it yet :) ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 2nd, 2008 9:38 PM
tiggy, i agree with you, TLC you are definatly lucky your BF is so optimistic about this. If i told mine he's just say, "your not pregnant, it's all in your head"...another reason i don't want to tell him so when i am i can say 'HA, I told you so" hehe, i'm a little moody right now if you haven't noticed, im very irritable, the hubby even noticed. TLC...i think your definetly gonna get your BFP.
*promising nausea dust to you and me tiggy*.....*baby dust to us all* ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 2nd, 2008 11:18 PM
so i've noticed i've had some really lotiony, thick cm? any thoughts? i've heard it's a good sing of pregnancy? *fingers crossed* ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: May 2nd, 2008 11:29 PM
well Ladies....have a very small amount of spotting today...was only when I wiped and was soooo small. I'm PRAYING that it's implantation and not a/f. I think I'm going to test on sunday morning. If I get my bfp I'm not going to my parents b/c I don't lie well and that would ruin my surprise. My boobs are still tender and still feeling sick but again...side affects from the meds....I don't know....trying not to get to excited but I just have this feeling. Everyone seems to have some really great signs though.....Tiggy...when are you going to test. I love FF and find charting so easy. It has just become apart of my morning routine. I don't think you need to worry about it though b/c I think you're preggo!! Britt....you sooo sound preggo too. The fainting thing totally but even the mouth watering (which I have too) and your boobs getting bigger. This should be a really exciting week for everyone!! When are you ladies testing?? I gotta get to bed...ni night and loads of baby dust!! ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 2nd, 2008 11:45 PM
oh my gosh Kellywall, you are soooo preggo yourself! Especially if your only spotting! This is soo exciting and it feels good to have others tell you that you sound pregnant as well. Makes me feel less crazy lol. Kelly when is af due for you? ↑
Name: Tiggy | Date: May 3rd, 2008 2:20 AM
Eeeegawds I am getting excited and anxious at the same time! I am going to test next weekend for sure. kellywall, I hope the spotting stays spotting! My friend when she was trying, had spotting for a few days and told me that she was not pregnant and then no AF for her and she took a test and got a BFP. She also spotted through her first trimester and was fine, so hang in there! britt..I had the same CM earlier in the week as well. My other friend has a son and before she got a BFP she thought she had a yeast infection (not itchy though) and it was her first sign of PG. So here's to hoping ladies...fingers crossed for all of you! ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 3rd, 2008 5:18 PM
okay ladies, if one of us, if not all, does not get a bfp i'm seriously gonna flip. I have some new signs, my nipples are apparently in the military because they are always at attention, my boobs are starting to get sore but that could just be from me checking them all of the time =]. I think i got a little nauseaus today, my mouth started to water real bad and i had to concetrate real hard not to throw up. I've had some heart burn too. Ugh i really hope this is all real i'm so excited. I wanted to test today but i had to use all my will power not to buy a pg test. I think i'm gonna test next weekend too. i wish it would get here already i'm so anxious. *baby dust* ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 3rd, 2008 5:45 PM
oh and another thing, i've gained 4 pounds and i haven't gone poop since....wednesday night...(sorry if tmi) ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: May 3rd, 2008 7:40 PM
Well girls...still spotting but getting heavier and woke up witha nice big zit today so pretty sure I'm out this cycle lol I'm ok with it though since the meds have made my LP longer and that is a voctory for me anyway. A/f is due either 4th or 6th...we'll see. Tiggy...any new signs?? Britt...I will be SHOCKED if you're not preggo...you have all the symptons in the world!! (although i hope you eat some bran b/c that can't feel good...you need to poop lol) good luck and keep me posted!! ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 3rd, 2008 9:38 PM
aw kellywall, hang in there, you might not be out just yet. So, i don't really know what to think. Everyone says that I have to be preggo with all the signs i'm having but, i just didn't expect it to feel like this. I thought for sure i'd be running to the bathroom every five minutes puking, and i know i've had some nausea and i still can't get over the fainting thing, i don't know. Maybe i just haven't excepted the fact that i could actually be pregnant. I really hope i am. Today was my neighbors' twins birthday. They are two girls that just turned two they are so adorable. I want a boy first, but i wouldn't mind having a girl either. Ugh i have to stop thinking about this....i have heart burn soooo bad and i've never had heart burn before, i feel like my chest is on fire! How are you doing Tiggy?...where did TLC go? okay i'm gonna go distract myself. =] . Oh kelly, in one of the other threads that i've looked at one girl had really bad blood clots and thought it was her period but she was indeed pregnant so, there is still a chance. Okay i'm going now, baby dust to everyone =] ↑
Name: kellywall | Date: May 3rd, 2008 11:54 PM
Britt...honestly...not everyone gets sick and you don't usually start puking right away. You have sooo many signs....when is a/f due? I'm pretty sure a/f will be here in the next couple days and although I'm slightly disappointed, I'll be ok!! No clots yet but still spotting. How is everyone else doing....i'm gonna head to bed but I'll check on you girls tomorrow......ni night and baby dust......Kelly ↑
Name: Tiggy | Date: May 4th, 2008 2:02 AM
sorry kellywall to hear about impending AF but then it could be implantation!!! britt-you got some serious symptoms there girl!!! As for me, my nipples are still sore but my breasts haven't gotten sore yet like they usually due. Still dealing with this terrible cold-practically slept all day, absolutely exhausted (but that could be another sign!!) but I noticed discharge picked up again and it is creamy and white, and cramps off and on, this last week is going to be the longest ever! ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 4th, 2008 3:28 AM
I guess your right Kelly, i shouldn't compare myself to my imaginative thoughts of being pregnant. (if that made any sence at aIl). f I go by my longest cycle, af would be due on the 15, but i average about 30 days so that would be the 12. I'm going to test next saturday and if i don't get a bfp then i will test again on sunday. If i still don't get one then i'll wait until i'm late or the B*tch shows up. Lately i've noticed that if i don't keep something in my stomach i get nausous(sp), my heart burn finally went away, i've been having heart palpations but i don't know if that is a possible sign or not, and still no pooping, I even had some fruit today and it didn't do the trick. Wow, i kinda sound pregnant, all these symptoms are soo not the usual. I've had mild cramping and the occasional pinch that seems to always be on my left side. I agree with you tiggy about this next week being the longest. I guess we all just have to sit back and wait. There's always next month =]. Baby dust to everyone, i'm gonna go to bed. =]........Britt ↑

How early can you feel pregnancy symptoms? I had two IUIs on 4/30 and 5/1 and I ovulated on 5/1. I'm on a slew of medications so those could be the culprit, but two nights in a row I fell asleep at 8:30 pm and that's VERY unlike me and now my nipples are pretty tender. I'm taking progesterone, but the first night I fell asleep so early I wasn't taking it. I also had slightly tender breasts even before the IUI because of all the estrogen, but now my nipples are just so tender and sensitive! No other symptoms really, well most of them I can write off to medication anyway. ↑
Name: britt4477 | Date: May 4th, 2008 7:31 PM
Jingles....that is a question we all want answered, but i think we decided that it's possible to feel pregnancy symptoms from the day the sperm meets the egg (don't quote me on this though). We've all for the most part have felt something different going on with our bodies before implantation happened, whether it was from the possible baby growing or our minds playing tricks on us. to me it sounds like it's just the hormones you are on, but anything is possible. I'm not real familiar with IUI's so don't think i know what i'm talking about cause i probably don't I'm just going off on what i think. The symptoms you had before you took the medications may have been from ovulation or you may be pregnant. It's just a waiting game now and we all like to over analyze every tweek and twinge and anything else that could possibly be a sign so feel free to share all your possible symptoms. Good luck.....*baby dust* ↑

AF didn't come today. Just a little spotting. I've had many symptoms. I hope there's alot of baby dust swirling around in here! Good luck! ↑
