Pika I'm so sorry. God I hate those bfn's!!!!
Update: 3dpo today...temp still high (as expected)...not paying attention to any symptoms as my after ov symptoms are the same as pg....super hungry....fatigued....emotional....blah blah blah.
Phoenix; how long have you been ttc?
Good luck everyone! The worst days for me are the ones immediately following af..they are so boring!! At least when you are about to O there is something to look forward to.
Can't wait to read everyone's updates!!

Well, 12 DPO (?) today. I usually start spotting on day 13, so not long to wait now. Bloated and crampy today, so I'm sure af is on her way. Last month (my first month of symptom checking) my sore b___bs had mostly gone away, but not this month. The girls are still really sore, so who knows what's going on. I've had a lot of energy the last few days, but today I have NONE! I'm seriously thinking of taking a nap, and I very rarely ever do that. I usually have low energy the first two days of af, not before.
Love, this was my fifth month trying with this donor, and I tried last summer twice with a different one, so that makes a total of 7. I've been preggers 5 times (only one live birth) and only once did it take more than one try. My age is up there though, so I knew it might take more time, but I never thought it would take THIS MUCH time.
Alc, good to hear from you again! Even if it is for a non report, it's still nice to know that you're out there.
Pika, sorry for the BFN, they sure suck! I hate them so much I haven't even tested this month.
Guess that's all for now.. take care everyone!

Hi Girls!
Sorry it's been a while since I have updated. It has been very busy with hubby being home for five days, to him leaving and saying goodbye, to me coming back to the States!!!!! Tomorrow the 21st will be cycle day 40. I have been between 40-45 days. Usually have spotting two to three days before and I have nothing yet. Hubby and I managed to get plenty of bd in before he left, just not sure it was when I was ovulating. Kinda feel blah today, but it could be my body trying to adjst to the time diffrence and stuff. No wonder my periods are crazy!!!! Still need to see a doctor here in States and have some test done. I need to figure out how to get shorter periods. Like 28 day cycles instead of 45. UUUGGGHHHH!!!! Well good luck to all you girls and have a wonderful weekend!!!
BABY DUST!!!

Simone, so good to see you again! When did you get back in the States?? Here's hoping you and the hubby BD'd on the right day!
Confused, I think if I were you, I'd make a doctors appointment. You didn't say if you BD'd before or after your af, but it sounds like before from what you wrote. The symptoms you have could be caused by other things, since it sounds like you had a full af since the BD'ing. Make a doctors appointment, tell them what's been going on, and then s/he can take it from there. Good luck to you!

phoenix- I got back on Tuesday! It was such a long flight, but I am happy to be back in the USA!!!!! No af yet, I will keep you updated:)
Confused- Did you just get off of birth control? I felt that way in February when I stopped taking the pill. My hormones were playing tricks on me. I had all the signs of being preggo! I have heard of people having their periods and still being pregnat. I agree with phoenix. You should go see a doctor to just be on the safe side:) Good luck!!!

Hello all! I'm back to cd 1!!! AF came last night, although it's pretty light. We'll see how heavy and long it lasts. My temperature plummetted yesterday from the previous 2 days, but wasn't near thermometer this morning to check it today. These cramps are killing me this time around. I'm so glad they usually only last for a day!
love- yeah I hear that, I am thinking my ov symptoms are about the same. fatigue, sore bbs, a cramp or two, cold chills etc. We'll see how effictively we can ignore these things ^_^
simone- good luck with trying to figure your cycle out. I wonder if there really is any way to get them shorter. Keep us updated. You have such a long wait for all of it, wow! I would have enjoyed so much time between periods...before I started ttc.
phoenix- sounds like af is on her rotten way again :( We've been ttc for about the same amount of time, I never thought it would take my dh and I more than 7 months! this next month will be #8. good luck and baby dust!
There should be no hold up, I stopped bc in November, I'm 24 and healthy... though I looked at hubby's sperm under microscope and several of the little guys were not moving, or they were sluggish. I worry now about their health, or if they weren't swimming due to his health and recreation, or his new underwear... or how long they had been sitting in there. I wonder if it's him or me, or both of us. We have both proven our fertility in the past, but that isn't helping us now. 5 months to wait until we can start worring about our fertility and ability to have children. I can't help but worry if something is wrong with me. anyhow, be safe everyone, looking forward to hearing from you all again.

Horrible heartburn started yesterday morning and is still going strong. Ate the same thing for breakfast yesterday as I usually do, so that's something new. Then today I got so nauseous I thought I was gonna hurl! (Not sure if it was from the heartburn though.) My b___bs are still killing me, which they usually don't at this point in time. Normal is that they start to hurt less and less starting two days ago. I should start spotting at some point today as my temp was down 0.4 degrees from yesterday. Mixed signals today from my body, but at least I don't have long to wait. FF says af should be here in two days.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site. I'm 30 and got pregnant by accident in March, but m/c at 6 weeks. It really made me think I actually DO want a child with my husband now. I've been TTC for the last 2 months but nothing yet. I ovulated 9th June (had s_x with my husband for the previous 2 nights) so am hoping I might be PG. I'm due this Fri so we'll see (28 day cycle). I'm hopeful I'm PG as I have had mild cramping / twinges for the past 2 days and had pink spotting when I wiped, which has now turned to brown, but so light it's hardly noticable. My BBs haven't grown much either, unlike in my 1st PG. Please could someone tell me if charting their BBT has helped then keep sane during the 2 wk wait?! I haven't done it yet but am thinking I might next cycle... thank you!

Welcome TTC999!
I'm 38 - 4 pregnancies; 3 live births; 1 tubal. Haven't been pregnant for 11 years!! ttc for 2 months now with new dh...
This is the first month i have charted, and i can honestly tell you it makes a world of difference in going 'insane' during the tww for me...I could tell exactly when i ovulated (june 16) and unfortnately could only bd on that day as dh was fishing :(
It's nice because stress can cause a late ovulation, which will of course delay af. When you chart, you can see if this happens and prepare yourself for the late af without going crazy wondering why you still have bfn after af was due. I like that part. I find myself not going as crazy with symptoms, as I have mentioned in previous posts, my post ov symptoms are very similar to pg ones; hunger, fatigue, emotional, crampiness, sore bbs, etc. I am also hopeful i am pg, but find myself getting depressed because I am scared i won't be.
Considering your af is due this friday, when do you think you will test? I have to admit one of the more exciting things about being on this forum is seeing the hope on some people's posts and celebrating their bfp's with them. I love that part!!
Good luck and keep us posted!!

Cristalt22, congrats! Great news! How long were you trying for?
Lovemydogs38 - thanks for the tips about the BBT charting. i think I'll try it next month if not successful this time. I'll wait a few days after Fri before I test. From being PG before, I know that a PG test doesn't necessarily work for a while (I had 2 false negatives with the 5 days after my due date) and the 3rd HPT came back positive. I feel this 2WW is taking over my life at the moment! Spending hours researching and reading other people's experiences on forums. it's really interesting and rea__suring to know I'm not the only person going through the anxious waiting! Good luck to everyone x

Crista, congrats!! Please keep us updated with news on you and your little bean! I'm so happy for you. Now don't be selfish and pa__s around all that baby dust!
Andesue, thanks. I don't feel very positive about this month, but it's still nice to have hope.
TTC, I too use FF to chart, and it's wonderful! It's really nice to be able to see what is normal for you and what is new. Last month was my first month, and it's been really nice to see that say, last month on 8 DPO, I had symptom X, and I had it on the same day this month. It really helps me to know what's new and what's normal. I also write things down in a notebook every day, like what time I got up, what temp was, what symptoms I have, etc. That helps me as much as FF cuz then I can flip through my little book and see things too.
As for me, today is 14 DPO (?) and still no spotting. I'm going to give it a few more days to see if af shows up before I test. My normal cycle is 34 days, but every once in a while I do get a longer one. I just don't feel it this month. I still get twinges of hope, but most of the time I just know it didn't work this time.
For everyone reading and posting, could you all do me a favor? Can y'all type in your stats for me, like age, # of TTC cycles, average length of cycle, how many pregnancies, etc.. anything you can think of. I tend to be forgetful if I don't have things written down, and there are too many people now for me to go back through and try to get everyone. I just like to keep everyone straight in my head. You all become almost like friends, and I hate it when I get confused.
As for me:
I'm 42
TTC 7 months
5 pergnancies, 1 live birth (he's 15 now)
34 day cycle
