Welcome
This is a revolving buddy group for women in the same part of their cycles, to compare notes, and symptoms. We also have a "waiting to o" buddy group for members who are still waiting on ovulation. Every so often, a moderator will start a new thread for you. Good Luck!
And the buddy group starts over.........Well I will get it started again:)
This is our first month of really really trying to conceive, last month we tried one day. I am very excited, I am hoping for the best. It is hard to keep your expectations low, when you want something so bad. I am 7 DPO. I have had some sour stomach issues for 3 days and I had 1 day of a headache from awaking until I went back to bed. So who knows.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow for a nasty cold I have now had for like 6 weeks. The weird thing is I dont feel that bad, but I am so sick of coughing and blowing my nose. It has turned yellow and green, so I guess I should go in. I only fear that they will give me an antibitic that will interfere with what I hope to be a pregnancy or if not pregnant will interefere with next months TTC.
to all of you

I noticed a TON of pages on the last one, so glad I didn't attempt to start or keep up!! LOL. I've been lurking on the infertility group because I've been trying almost 3 years, but figured I'd check in here. I have been here about 9 months now, just charting and using these forums so I have a few people I know way back when they were in this forum that are 35+ weeks pregnant or have delivered. In fact if it wasn't for my miscarriage I'd been part of them :(
I'm currently 6 dpo and not waiting patiently. I'll admit yesterday and today I used my cheapies for fun and to get over the pee urge. Tomorrow I'm going in for a progesterone check to see my levels and hope they say ovulation happened! Fun. My body is cruel - ever since I ovulate I get nauseous, breast tenderness and fatigue so I've been dealing with those issues this cycle and it sucks to know those symptoms don't mean jack for me. LOL. Best wishes all!

I am today 7 DPO I am very negative right now thinking I am not PG but of course I want to be--try to keep my mind off it very hard to do. I feel like I have symptoms but who knows it could be AF for all I know. O well here is to waiting! Good Luck to all!!!

After lurking on TCOYF for many months, I am finally "in the game" - and this 2WW is WAY harder than I thought it would be. I'm only 5 DPO, and have no idea how I'm going to make it 11 more days!! I haven't been feeling well the last few days (I blame stress at work, while secretly hoping, of course), and it doesn't help that two women I work with have said "Oh, that's how I felt when I was pregnant!" My temps are all over the charts, quite literally, and I'm spending all kinds of time on the chart galleries, trying to find just a few other charts that have similar temperature changes to my own.
to all my 2WW buddies this month!

I'll stay here with you girls until AF finds me. A lot of you have more experience charting than I do, so if you say I'm still in it, then in it I am. Temp dropped from 98.0 to 97.7 today, but still above CL. Still spotting, but only on the tp. I wore a pad last night fully expecting AF to wake me up, but it was just a wasted pad.
TJ - AF is evil. Sorry you were found :(
I'll do more personals later..I'm feeling pretty blue at the moment. Matt just asked if I wanted him to come home, but I'd feel really stupid for him to miss work for this.
Poo a new thread, just as I was getting comfortable in the old one. :) Welcome to all those who are just jumping in!
TJ, I'm happy to know that there are others in my general vicinity -- UK and Germany, we're practically neighbors. :) But I'm sorry that got you this month. She is the worst!
As for me, I am 11dpo and after a very sharp dip in temp yesterday morning, this morning it shot back up to the highest it has been. I don't know what to think one way or the other, and I'm trying not to drive myself crazy over-interpreting symptoms. I funnily enough have no desire to pee on a stick, and plan on waiting until at least Monday when I'm 15dpo.
What's everyone else's status? Any positives yet?
me (29), him (33), expected 17.11.2010!
Yeah laurazuke!!!! Yeah to being cycle buddies!
Noo! I loved the old thread!
AF was due today. She didn't turn up!! I'm 13DPO and now getting obsessively excited!
Apparently, I sent DP to the wrong post office to collect my tests that got sent back there (ahem, I think he just didn't read the slip properly!) so we're going in the morning to get them. In a way, I am happy that I don't have the option to take one tonight. I'd probably end up doing them all! So 14DPO will be my testing day :) The TTW for me will officially be over for me!
I've just come back from a publishers Illustrator's party, lots of free beautiful books for me! I love my job!
Me & DP - since July 2008.

Where is the old thread? Is it gone? I didn't get to read everyone's post before it was gone. Poo. Olapoluebry-yea for no AF! Can't wait until tomorrow to read the results of your POAS!
mce120210-welcome! Your chart looks good so far! Too early to be thinking this month is already out. How long is your LPP usually?
Klh1980-your chart is great! It so looks like a pregnancy chart I just can't stand the fact that you are waiting until Monday to test. Fairy dust that you get your BFP whenever you do decide to test.
Isabellaj-That is right, it is not over until AF shows. I am sorry you are down, it is so easy to be happy and excited in the TWW when it seems like a BFP is right there and when AF looms around the corner it is like a slap in the face. I pray that she doesn't show for you.
Laurazuke-your chart looks good so far-very stable temps. That has been a good sign for me in the past. I hope it is for you too.
Frankncents-Try not to compare yourself to everyone else, this early in the TWW progesterone is going to play tricks on you and every has-been-pregnant woman will offer advice and comments. You should post your chart so we can all stalk it.
KrysTTC-Welcome! It did take you a long time to O-a classic PCOS chart but everything looks good so far. Keep telling yourself "my time is now", it will happen for you.
AFM-9dpo, having all sorts of good symptoms (boobs hurt, eggwhite mucus, blue veins, possible squinter this morning (could have been evap line too). We will see. TTC for 13 months now so I am familiar with progesterone playing tricks on me. http://www.tcoyf.com/forum/chart.asp?id=mbyler

Hi everyone!
I actually introduced myself on the old thread, and thought I'd start over on this one too!
This is my first month ttc after 16 cycles tta with FAM. So, I have no idea what to expect. All I can say is that all of you girls are so courageous - I am already driving myself NUTS over the tww!!!!
Some personals:
laurazuke - sounds like we're in the same boat this month as it's my first month of ttc too. Hope you're feeling better!
KrysTTC - I see your posts all over the forums, and just wanted to wish you tons of luck!!!!
mce120210 - I agree that the mental element of the tww is the worst. Keep your hopes up!
frankncents - maybe your coworkers are on to something here! Good luck!
isabellaj - hang in there, it isn't over until she shows her face :)
klh1980 - oooh, implantation perhaps? That jump in temp sounds very promising!
olapoluebry - I have to say that I admire your resolve like you wouldn't believe. Waiting until 14 dpo is so admirable!
mbyler - your symptoms sound very promising!!! hopefully that squinter turns into a blaring bfp!
AFM - I am 12 dpo today but haven't updated my chart in 2 days. LP is 13 days. My temps are super consistent this month which is certainly due to the maca that I've been taking. Anyways, my boobs have hurt for 2 days and I am so, so, so, tempted to POAS tonight. But then I think, yeah right what are the chances?!
Anyways, great to meet you all :)

mbyler---- My lutuel phase I think is 13 days trying since 10/09 but only been charting since Jan 2010. Started charting in the middle of the month- but my best guess is 13 you can look at cycle 1 and 2 if you want under my charts. Last month was no ovulation, so I dont have much to go on--so that is driving me a little nuts not really knowing what to expect and my cycles have not been regular since I started charting 29--Jan 22-feb----Thanks for asking! trying to stay positive.
KrysTTC - I"m 6 dpo too!! How long are you from testing? If AF doesn't show in 4 days, i'm testing b/c my LP is usually 10 days......is that on the verge of having an issue conceiving? 10 days probably isn't long enough is it??
Me: 29 DH:32
TTC #1 since Mar/09
start new huh! well ...
olgubery- sounds promising!
isabella- hopefully the spotting goes away..huh. that darn af either come or dont! quite teasin.
Well i guess i will kinda re write what i wrote on the last one this am..im 14dpo and my temp jumped from 97.7 to 98.1! yeah..wanted to POAS but DH said just wait. grrrr. so just gonna try to wait it out to 18dpo...causioulsly hopeful...
laurazuke - I am in the same boat as you! I came down with a sinus infection the day after I O'd (at least I think so), so I've been trying to tough it out without taking anything. The antibiotic is supposed to be "safe" during pregnancy, but I just would feel better knowing, if I do get a BFP this round, that I didn't take anything that would be meddling with all the important baby-building functions. :)
I'm 8dpo today. This is our first try since the early m/c last month, so I am trying to stay hopeful but realistic. So far all signs point to "possible!" I'm trying to hold out testing until Monday when I'll be 12dpo. We'll see if I'm successful...
Ideangel - your temps sound SO promising!!!!
aartf - welcome!!
Laura & mbyler - your charts look so pretty :)
klh - I hope that crazy temp dip/spike means good things for you!!
Thanks so much for the support girls, it means a lot. I was really upst this morning. Now, I'm just back to confused, because the spotting is mostly gone again. Its been pink when I go to bed and pink when I wake up, then almost non-existent all day, just that sorta pale pale brown color to where I can't really tell if I should even call it spotting. Aren't you glad i gave you such a description? :) SO here I sit, 13dpo, two deep temp dips, bizarre spotting. CRAZY emotional. I mean seriously. This is not pms emotional. This is "I don't know what's going on with my body and I just want to get pregnant and I don't know if AF is coming or not and I don't know what to do anymore" crying on and off all day. I keep Pandora.com on when I'm working, and at one point, I just had to say "Ok Universe. I get it. Snap out of it" because it played like six songs in a row that made me smile and make me feel better and were otherwise snap-out-of-it slaps in the face.
(no really - Monty Python "always look on the bright side of life", Bishop Allen "things are what you make of them", Jimmy Eat World "the middle", and Cake's version of "I Will Survive". Almost entirely in a row. REALLY?)
I just feel like if AF is going to come, if i"m out this cycle, I'd like to just get it overwith. This dropped temp two days in a row, (which I'm sure could be causing the spotting, the lack of progesterone) and intermittent spotting is just frustrating, not to mention annoying.
But having you girls here - today especially, when Matt's at work from 7am-5L15 and then in school until almost 10pm...means more than you know. Now, is anyone in Phoenix and want to come give me a hug?
isabellaj - Oh I hope AF doesn't find you and you get a BFP surprize! I wish i could come over and give you a hug...plus enjoy the weather! I"m freezing over here in Northern Canada! I've kind of numbed myself this month....not having much of a positive outlook....i have no symptoms at all, and the fact that this is the 12 month of trying....i dont' see the pattern changing too much. Sigh....hugs all around today!!!
Thanks Vanessa :) Hugs and virgin margaritas all around.
just posted a pic of what I'm still certain is a bfn, but since I suck at squinters, I thought I'd let the experts in the peanut gallery check it out.
