    CD14, don't know if I'm Oing or not because I'm at work and forgot to bring an OPK. Hope I can hold it 'til 5!

    I feel like my symptoms come and go in waves. Moments I am like "wow, must be", other times I question if I was just wanting to feel it or if they just weren't there at that time.

    I really don't think it's possible for me to be pregnant, but I am oh so hoping so. Trying to be patient, DH and I BD'ing atleast once a day, I honestly don't even care if we did or not for TTC reasons, we are really having fun (TMI, lol) and so that's definitely not a bad thing.

    IF I was on track with timing before early January's events AF would be due late next week, but if any POAS is going to take place I am setting Feb 14th as my earliest day to do so. Man oh man.

    @SFreeman2187:  Waiting to O is really frustrating. Just keep using your OPK's I ended up getting my positive 3 days after I thought I was going to.

    I think I need to buy me some of these smily face OPKS. I'm sick of seeing one line on a stick.

    @jaguar:  They are more expensive but it is nice seeing the happy face lol but it's super depressing to see the blank circle to.

    I'm thinking of going for the smiley faces too but I'm not spending money on anything else until I get DH's swimmer results back. It's been 10 days! It's REALLY starting to piss me off.

    OPK still negative, but darker than yesterday. I'm actually happy to have more time for BD before O, but I'm going to go insane if it takes much longer!

    Finally finished with AF as of last night, so excited to get this show on the road! It's crazy, but this is the first month I've ever kept track of my cycle. As in, just marking down the days I have my period, not charting or anything like that (baby steps, no pun intended).

    In other news, DH and I are bringing a puppy home tomorrow -- a second golden retriever, this time a boy, to join our girl who's 1.5 years old. So exciting!!!

    I'm at 3dpo and I'm freaking exhausted. I went to bed at 6 last night and slept until 5 this morning...I'm still exhausted, but I'm writing it off as being tired from our everyday SMEP plan. Also (TMI Alert) my nips are intensely sore, but I figure maybe that's my body adjusting after my chemical still? My whole life I've never really had any breast pain (minus during my chemical), so it's weird but I'm sure my hormones regulating themselves is what's making it weird.

    DH is such a bad POAS influence, everyday he's bugging me to POAS because he wants me to be KU so badly. I keep telling him there's no way we'd know anything by now, but he's decided that implantation is instantaneous Undecided. lol

    Pleaaase post pics! DH and I have one Golden (male!) who will be 2 in April. Every other week we're getting a 2nd, the other weeks we're sticking with one. Very exciting! Same breeder, or did you look for one from another breeder?

    @FutureJessicaMcB:  My DH is the same way. I finally got a positive OPK yesterday my CM isn't complety EWCM but it's getting there. He thinks I am going to be able to POAS like tomorrow and know. Men just don't get these types of things it doesn't happen right after you BD and it could take months (he still doesn't believe that even with the statistics I showed him). I am also terrible at waiting as I am typing I am also putting together the gift boxed we will give to the grandparents to be when we do get pregnant :/ I'm trying to stay optimistic about the whole process. How long have you been trying?

    @MarryMeTiffany:  

    We started trying last month, got pregnant right away but it turned out to be chemical. So now we're in our second cycle of TTC. We know it could be much worse, but it's still very tough to TTCAL. DH only seems to focus on the fact that we got pregnant really fast last time, so he thinks we should again this time, so I hope I don't disappoint him. You're new to the TTC game too aren't you?

    @FutureJessicaMcB:  Yes this is our first month I have been off BC for 1.5 years so I'm pretty regular hoping that helps us concieve quickly. I am not a patient person lol if it takes longer then 3 months I think I will be going crazy.

    Does anyone else just feel like this is YOUR month?

    I think I feel like this every month and just forget.

    @SFreeman2187: I feel the  total opposite.  I feel like this will not be our month again.  I think I'm feeling like this to try and avoid the disappoint if I get a BFN.  It also doesn't help that I'm not feeling anything and it's 6 DPO but then again I don't know if some feel anything at all.  I'm a bit confused with this implantation process...

    @SFreeman2187:  

    Because I am symptomy again I am feeling it's our month. But like @FutureJessicaMcB:  I am trying not to get hopes up too high and definitely not telling DH much this time for fear of disappointment again.

    Staying positive as heck, and trying to pretend I don't feel certain ways. Metal tongue is back on a mission and it's one I really can't ignore.

    @patientlywaiting20:  No symptoms can still mean a positive. Staying positive for you, all our bodies and reactivity can be so different it doesn't help trying to understand the implantation process!

    I am 2dpo, so I'll be testing on the 6th but.....That's early. I wish I could hold off and test later, maybe on the same morning as a few of you ladies so we can all report together. 

    I have an OB appointment on 15DPO anyways as a routine check-up...so it'll be nice if I walk in there and I'm like...I'M PREGNANT! but I really don't want to get my hopes up too much:/ 

    Good luck ladies=)

    @FutureJessicaMcB:  please be my poas buddy! When are you testing? Im 2dpo right now:)

     

    For all the ladies debating whether or not to go smiley face or not....honestly....It is soooooo nice to see that smiley and not have to analyze lines. Also, the night I said i'm done with opks and that they piss me off, was the night that I found my last one and decided to use it just for the heck of it....and guess what? Smiley! So, don't give up. I O'd 7 days after my anticipated date.

    So DH and I had lunch together. My fortune cookie read "Good new is on the way" and then the learn Chinese word on the back was daughter.

    I wish I really believed in signs. It was cute, though.

    Oooh, I wish I were in your POAS group! But I'm STILL waiting on ovulation...times like these when long cycles drive me batty. Fingers crossed for you @ecomaha and @Running Elley - you guys so badly deserve a BFP. So does everyone, haha.

    I'm trying not to go crazy with our new 'schedule' from the RE. There's just something about knowing that I could be ovulating today, and still avoiding BDing. I know that ultimately, every-other-day is probably a good idea for us, but still...I don't like just sitting around and not DOING anything about it. 

    I've heard of so many pregnancies in the last few weeks, and its making me a little desperate. A BFP this month would mean a baby by my birthday, and a BFP next month would mean a baby by Christmas. Its probably not healthy to be thinking like this.

    I think I might have blew it for this month DH was tired the two nights before last night so we did not BD. I got a positive OPK yesterday so we did the BD but I got a negative OPK today and my CM is drying up. Hopefully last night took if not onto next month. I think I am DPO1. I was on some meds and really ill at the beginning of my cycle and I think that screwed up the general flow of my cycle.

    @redsmarties:  I'm hoping that you're ovulating soon! I'm not technically in the TWW yet, I'm pretty sure that I'm ovulating today so I'm still in the same position as you! I hope it's today for both of us :)

    @MarryMeTiffany:  You never know, all it takes is one!! It sounds like you've definitely ovulated.

    I'm totally surprised.  Detected my LH Surge this evening.  I shouldn't ovulate until Monday.  This is definitely going to be an interesting cycle.

    @squeak35:  Interesting cycles are always good...maybe interesting = different = BFP?
