    Me, I think! CD 14, got a +OPK yesterday morning, and my temp went up this morning. I won't know for sure for a few more days, but I'll probably be ready to POAS on Dec 1st or 2nd. 

    Good luck!

    it's gonna be a looong tww. FF tells me that i'm 3dpo, but i think it's more like 2. another app i'm tracking my cycles on actually tells me not to test before Dec 3... no way i'll be able to wait that long.

    good luck!

    Me, me (I hope!) CD15 right now - 7th day in a row that I've gotten a High reading on my CBEFM. Hoping that the little egg shows up soon - but either way we've been BD'ing every other day - hoping that I O anyway.

    Good luck to everyone in this group!!

    I was hoping to be part of the Thanksgiving club, but looks like I O'd later than I originally thought.  So I'm with you ladies!  FF put me at 6 dpo, but I don't trust that since I had positive OPKS on Tues and Weds with lots of EWCM.  I think I am 2dpo.  On to the waiting now!

    Can I join even though I won't get the test until Dec 2nd? 

    I did the trigger shot on Tues, Nov 15. I should have O'd yesterday. I guess I can technically POAS Dec 1, but the RE Doc wants me to go in for a blood test on Dec 2nd.

    Well I'm not astute enough to know what DPO or CD mean, but I am resolving to POAS for December 1 (I have until November 29 in reality, but I wanna hold off). It'llbe interesting to see how  this pans out- we were planning to start TTC next month but we forgot to use something on my prime-time ovulation day.

    I'd be pretty surprised if we got KU on our first try, but you never know!

    @FutureJessicaMcB: cd=cycle day, dpo=days post ovulation. 

     

    FF adjusted my O-date to wednesday which makes me 3dpo.

    I'm close. I'm going to POAS on November 28 not December 1st. I will be 14 DPO by then. Wow, I just realized that November 28th is my 2 year wedding anniversary!  Wow, that would be awesome if I found out on my anniversary!

    So to cure my TWW blues we got a puppy!!! Ahhh We are insane! I cannot believe it! So here is to hoping my TWW goes by fast! We BD'd a tonn and stuck to every other day except once it was on day 4 and the other it was on day 3... but still did pretty good!  We are still BD'ing just incase :) I have lots and lots of ewcm the past few days.... But when I got my BFP I had lots too and we didn't even BD around then.... so here is to hoping!

    I went back and did the math (now that I did mad research to be able to keep up with the lingo on this board and such) and I  am on CD 19 and am on 5 DPO.I've been feeling totally normal (which you would kind of assume you would anyway) except for an episode yesterday at the grocery store when we passed a gum display and I nearly hurled from the smell...and FI stands  there and tells me he can't smell anything. Haha, I think I'm psyching myself out!

    6 or 7 dpo. I've been alternating between freezing and, less common, hot. Also feeling burpy and craving soup like nobody's business. But that might just be how cold it's been lately! :) Nothing else to report. Anyone else having symptoms?

    @bunny:  I'm 5dpo and have had some cramping.  But I'm trying hard not to symptom spot so I'm just telling myself it's indigestion ;)  Last month I recorded all sorts of symptoms in FF, FF gave me a score of 80 on their pregnancy tracker thing and then I got AF...So I'm trying to just ride this one out.

    @bunny:

    Is burping a common sympton of being KU?

    I'm at 6-7 DPO too. I'm hesitant to say I have any symptoms, but in my entire life I've has maybe two or three headaches maybe lasting 20 minutes. Over the last three or four days I've had constant gnawing headaches which is becoming really annoying. Also, I've been extra emotional (i.e., We went out to get our marriage license yesterday and I cried for 20 minutes because we had to leave our puppy alone). But all in all, mine could also be PMS.

    Come on December 1!!!

    5dpo here. no symptoms at all. but then, i won't allow myself to any kind of symptom spotting this month. anything i experience gets PMS-assigned right away. so far it workes.

    waiting for december 1!

    @FutureJessicaMcB: Burping is a common symptom.  As for everything else, don't you hate how some symptoms could go either way.

    As for me I feel weird.... I can't explain it. I don't feel sick but I am not not feeling sick... My mind is probably playing tricks on me. I felt weird for 2 days before my BFP last time so my mind is probably just making stuff up...

    I posted this on another tread, but thought I'd get your opinion. I'm 4DPO...

    I took Provera vaginally before which is synthetic progesterone and didn’t have many side effects. I had an Ovidrel trigger shot last week.  My RE doc has put me on natural progesterone (Prometrium 200mg) vaginally, twice a day which is supposed to help with implantation.

    So I don’t know if I’m having side effects or wishful thinking that I could be having pregnancy symptoms at 4DPO. I’m super emotional—everything is making me cry. I’m tired at 7pm and can barely make it to 8pm. So I go to sleep, but wake up at 10pm and can’t fall back asleep until 1am-2am. And this morning, an hour after I ate, I was very, very slightly nauseous.

    So do you think this is just side effects?

    EDIT- I'm a little crampy and my ovaries still hurt. And I feel like I have to pee every 2 hours.

    @mmsva: I wouldn't assume anything, if I were you. It could be side effects but it could also be that you are on your way to a BFP. Just wait it out and see.... Oh the joys of the TWW

    5 DPO. My boobs are still itchy like crazy, particularly around the nipples. DH is insisting that it's a good sign, no matter how much I tell him not to feed my over-obsession, and that it's too soon for symptoms. I'm happy that we have a busy week visiting family...it's harder for me to obsess when I have so much to do.

    7-8 DPO and my "symptoms" are kind of gone away (except for the extreme moodiness). More than anything I want to POAS and know already. I am the worst with uncertainty and wait-and-see situations!

    I'm trying to fight the urge to use my FRER on Thursday (five days prior to my expected AF)...do those ever actually work?

    @Mrs Sarah McK: YAY for busy weeks keeping your mind off of things.

    @FutureJessicaMcB: Fight the urge!! AF is due around the first for me so here is to hoping I can hold off until then!

     

    I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot.... I feel weird and bla. And super tired.....  .... I will not symptom sopt!!!!

    Ugh I POAS this morning at 8DPO and got a clear negative. Should I count myself out this go around? Or should I wait and re-test? Booo :(

    @FutureJessicaMcB: Implantaion might not have happened yet. Lots of people POAS when AF is due and still BFN and a few days after that they get their BFP. So you may have to keep POAS up until (and maybe even after if you are having symptoms) 14dpo.

    @FutureJessicaMcB: 8 DPO is super early. Implantation usually occurs around 5 to 12 days after fertilization. So just keep your chin up and try to hold out for AF.

    WOW I am bitchy... Not to sure why but hoping for a particular reason... My boss better watch out tho! I am not taking any crap today. He gets in moods and complains about stuff and it pisses me off and I have already told him to drop it a couple times....... Oops.

    Might I add other than the spurts of bitchyness I am in a great mood.... Yup I am over analyzing too much....

    @FutureJessicaMcB: you should not count yourself out. look at the list below. there are not many women who got a BFP 10dpo and they don't even list 8dpo... you are still in the game!

    10dpo : 35%
    11dpo : 51%
    12dpo : 62%
    13dpo : 68%
    14dpo : 74%
    15dpo : 80%
    16dpo : 88%
    17dpo : 92%
    18dpo : 99%

    @PennyLainne: i do what you're doing. I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot.... I. will. not. symptom. spot!!!! Wink

    Thanks ladies...I'm probably one of the least patient people alive, so I'll have to cross all my fingers and toes and wait until 14DPO...somehow. lol

    @PennyLainne:

    Haha, too funny. I walked into a co-workers office yesterday and starting freaking out about one of her subordinates not doing her job...ever. It's just a ragey work week for us POAS Bees.
