Thank you for the new thread.

Anyone else craving red meat? Does your DH know you're in the tww period? So glad to find a forum like this. All I keep hearing is 'when are you guys going to get preg?' I just keep saying we're working on it.

Oh! And ~*babydust*~ to all!!

I'm undecided if I am going to test tomorrow. I hate bfn and do not want to see it again. GL everyone.

Good luck ollie and everyone else i just tested this morning BFN no slight pink anywhere its still early maybe 6 or 7 dpo. Still early but discouraging as we all know. Are you going to try a different test? I got the first response early one but i have seen no signs of implantation so I am praying its just too early.

Keep us updated!

Reapette where in PA are you from I live in NH now but I am a PA native. Grew up 30 miles south of Pittsburgh and then spent 13 years in the Hershey area?

Thanks to who ever created page 3.

Cant wait for everyone's testing to begin
I have company coming my sister from PA and her family and they are staying with us until tues DH said if I get a positive he does not want to tell people until the first trimester is over. I myself know that if i do get a positive there is no way I can contain myself!!!!

BABY DUST!!!!!!!

Ollie what tests were you originally using? Did you see that there was a lot of tests that were recalled I saw this on the POAS thread. Just curious if maybe you had yours threw that batch did you order them on line? :jump:

Hi ladies. Having 'stalked' your earlier forum i'd like to join you as my AF is due on the 5th. Firstly I should admit I did a test yesterday, of course it was BFN although I strained my eyes real hard and thought i might be able to see something but I think I was just fantasising tbh! Does anyone know if with cheaper tests if you look hard can you see a clear line where the positive will be if HCG is detected? (Sorry if this isn't clear but difficult to explain in writing what I mean!!) I have some 'symptoms' this week but they could all be attributed to non- pregnancy related things so i'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Here they are:-

upset tummy
flu like symptoms (there's a cold going round my place of work though)
PMT symptoms - moody, overwhelmed, delicate feeling (normal for me when AF due!)
Woke up early this morning (could have been the sunlight though!)
Red face but not hot (is this a symptom!)
watery CM (symptom?)

by **hemurf17** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 4:04 am

all great signs MaryB! good luck and keep peeing :0)
I know this is frustrating but these ladies have made it so much easier. I as well have been getting up at 4 or 5 when i dont have to get up until 6:00. Been awful sick nauseated and low grade fever that wont quit. I keep holding out taking anything because I am afraid it is the flu.

Sounds good so far tho a few of us are due on the 4th or 5th so were all in this together!!!!! Glad you decided to join us! :jump:

by **MaryB81** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 4:16 am

Thanks hemurf17. Your signs sound really promising too. I have been preg once before (ended in mc sadly) and my earliest sign was waking up really early feeling wired and hungry so that's a good sign for you! I'm kindof not really optimistic about this month but its nice to join a forum because there will always be some BFPs on the forum. Baby dust all round! x

by **overachiever** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 4:32 am

Morning ladies, so close to testing! wishing baby dust on you all!

MaryB81- in the link hemurf posteed above about the bad batch of tests somebody posted a picture having that white/clear line you described. Check it out you may have a bad batch!

Overacheiver: CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Olli: I have my fingers crossed for you big time!
Worththewait: It may still be too early. I had a crazy month of OPKs myself. It sounds like maybe on the first set of positives, your body was gearing up to O, but didn’t actually O yet. I’ve had some ppl say that you should go by the first OPK (for BDing I would say good idea), but for your actual O time- you can’t have an LH surge after you ovulate- or when the egg pops. If you can’t hold out, by all means test, but I would say it’s still early. I would think that you prob ovulated on the 23-25. I’m not an expert though! I do hate to see BFNS!

Slogrande: Don’t be discouraged b/c of your long cycles. I have a friend that only has 3-4 periods a year. It took her 7 months (not cycles) to get pregnant. She didn’t use anything other than OPKs to help her. Speaking of cravings: normally, if PMS cravings for me are salt and vinegar chips and beef and cheese (like cheeseburgers, etc). But since Oing I have been craving cheese sandwiches on toast with lettuce (I add Avocado). Craziness. And of course, my DH that wasn’t in the mood while I was Oing has been all over me. WTF?! This morning he asked if I wanted to get in a quickie before work. I said, why couldn’t you be like this last week? Normally, I would have taken him up on it, but for the past two days, I have been SO TIRED. I came home yesterday and collapsed on the couch.
Mary: I too feel “flu-like”. I just feel super-run down. I know some ppl see a change in CM during the early stages. Do you normally have watery CM during this time? If not, that could be a sign! And you’re right- these forums keep me sane. This TWW has been one of the worst for me. SO SLOW!!!!
Hemurf and Reapette: I live in PA too. I live in Philly. Speaking of Pittsburgh though- my neighbors moved to Mt Lebanon last year and we went to visit and I really liked it. I was kind of surprised. It’s my Philly pride…. I’m not “allowed” to love Pittsburgh! Lol. Where in PA are you Reapette?
Hemurf: Last night I fell asleep by 9. And that was a struggle to stay up until then! I slept horribly last night--- tossing and turning and waking up just about every hour.

AFM: DPO 8. UGH.
I have some symptoms… yesterday- horrible horrible fatigue. My body did not like ANY activity. Before dinner my DH told me I looked like a zombie.
Smells: Yesterday morning when my DH was feeding the dogs, the smell of the dog food seemed to take up the entire kitchen – it was HORRIBLE. Then at lunch, I was in the coffee room at work and someone opened a Tupperware with a cut up lemon and it was like I was standing in a delicious heavenly lemon field. It was like, the most amazing smell of my life. Normally, lemons to me are meh- yesterday I wanted to bathe in them and eat lemon water ice. Weird.

Today- I'm going to try and not be on here. I have kind of been slacking at work b/c I can't concentrate!

Well ladies, I am out. My temp dropped really low. I was testing on ic that I ordered online but they were not the bad batch, however I do not plan to purchase more because I do not like the feeling of BFP and bfn on the same day and throughout. I think I will stick to frer and just test after af is late. This week alone has been the hardest tww and it's only Tuesday (lol). Besides my normal backaches and now vivid dreams, I have no other signs, so with today's temp drop, af should show her face any day now. I'm okay, really. I'll emotionally hurt for a few days and them I start to focus on the positive of DH and I's inability to have a baby. I might even drink a margarita or two, lol.

I do pray each of you get your BFP. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I am blessed with the family I have, DH is so good to me most of the time (lol). I still have my 3 4-legged babies (dogs). GL ladies

Sooo.. last night before I went to sleep I told myself I was going to wait to test...but when I woke up I was entirely too anxious and did it anyway. BFN...obviously. So now I am keeping my hands out of the pee stick box until Saturday (which will put me at 12dpo). I am going away on Saturday for a week and won't be with DH, so I'm hoping I can find out before I go! (Although I'll definitely be bringing pee sticks with me!!)

I still have absolutely no symptoms. So discouraged is an understatement.
Still praying for myself and all of you! Baby dust

by **MaryB81** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:45 am

I've just been reading about 'evaporation lines' on the internet and think this is prob what I saw on my stick. Feeling foolish for grasping at straws like that! I'll test again in a few days but pretty sure I can feel AF coming.
Ollimaraj - sorry you're out this month. I'm not very clued up about temperatures, etc. does a rise in temp def mean you are out? I wouldn't rule yourself out until AF arrives. On another note I love margaritas! I think i'll join you if I am also out this month (which I suspect I am). Mrspih1024 - I agree with you that the 2ww is very bad for work productivity!!!
