cd 16. i'm now in the 2ww. i must not test until Jan 16. i must not test until Jan 16. i must not test until Jan 16.

hi iampg, i wish you the best this cycle, i never asked you, do you chart your temps? and how did you know that your are in your 2ww now? i am CD 10 today, trying to concieve my first baby at age 42, i had a m/c in october. good luck to you.

hi col. get some Tussin in you and bd every other day for the next week or so. yes my temps went up so i know i ovulated (maybe cd 4, 9) and definitely 15. i took clomid cd 1-5. i had a psychic/tarot reading at busch gardens - she said i won't conceive until Feb. Let's see if she's wrong!

HI iampg, what is the Tussin?? hopefully she is wrong, and you will get bfp this month. i am trying something new and exiting this month, i will see if it will work :) i will let you know and share if it does :). good luck

i mean exciting :)

tussin is the over the counter cough med Guaifenesin that helps loosen mucus (esp if you're on clomid) well i did the bad thing - took an opk strip as early hpt. re:http://www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html (it picks up the alpha hCG sooner than the hpt) cd 20 (8 days from AF). the test line was so bold i was wondering if i'm ovulating again? i also woke up this morning with nausea. another phantom pg?

good morning, thanks for the info. as for the opk as hpt , i am not sure if its accurate in anyway, at least for me its not. so i do not count on them by all means. actually i do not count on then for ovulation too. i would suggest you read Taking Charge of your Fertility, its an amazing book. it gets you more intuned with your body. good luck

here's something else to obsess about - just found some ladies testing ferning saliva after ovulation as an early pg detector too!

any new news from your side? today i think is my 1dpo. lets hope for the best for both of us

Hi Col. thanks for asking. I'm trying to be really good & not test, but i have a running progression of opks from 5-9dpo. no symptoms at all except feeling very irritated by noise and chaos - like i want to hide in a cave for the next few days and just let the world go away! i empathise greatly with the next week for you. i've been reading up on morphogenic field theory - seems that when one preson makes a breakthrough on something it gets progressively easier for others to complete the same task.. so...let's break some barriers! may the best sperm win the most attractive egg!

woke up this morning feeling seasick @3:30am - i gagged before i even got out of bed. i ran a $ tree test - nothing within the time limit - but when i left it out to dry i saw a smudge forming in the test line. evap line? now i have dull sacral cramps & waves of nausea. these are the first symptoms this cycle but very noticeable. oh and i have been ferning the last few days. of course i really want this to be a bfp. i'm not overly optimistic -i've had nausea, phantom pg, chemical pgs and m/c before. i noticed this morning that the thought of drinking my favorite bev (coffee) adds another wave of the woozies. that's strange. i'm craving oolong tea! if anyone if reading this i really empathise with you!

i heard that eating high protein before you go to sleep reduces or eliminates nausea - so i had a juicy plump steak - no nausea this morning. now i'm afraid to test! 11 dpo. i just want to crawl back to bed and stay there until i get a bfp. i had initially planned to bd every other day for the entire month, but i've stopped since cd 22 no further interest! something i've really found out, is that people not in your situation really have no idea what you're going through on a daily basis - to them it's just some mental exercise, for you it's a raw experience.

Hi, I hear you. Me too I really feel like to stay in bed for ever, and sometimes, especially when I had a m/c in October, I wished I die. I know what you mean about people, they do not understand, and I stopped expecting them to understand. Actually some said to me , after I lost my baby, that I have to be thankful for that, because at my age having a down syndrome baby is a 100%, this was told to me when I was grieving. So I completely understand your point. But my advice to you and me as well, do what you have to do, and don’t stress about it, keep going, it looks hard and slow, and out of control, but keep going. Good luck with your testing.

thanks Col, here's something funny - couldn't be the first to do this could I? i know what a test nut i am so i try not to have any hpts around. but i broke down and sneaked out to $tree with my fmu in a bottle today. It was 6 hrs old by the time i dipped the test (yes, i dipped instead of droppering it for 5 secs, in the car lot) I sat there staring at it, trying to will a positive. then i decided to start driving home and just glance at it every now and then (you've only got 3 mins or something right?) well, i laid the test down as i was driving and sure enough a pink smudgy line showed up. i started feeling all qweezy. i got home and took numerous pix of the thing in case it might disappear! then i cracked open the case and pulled out the stick and something happened. now the line has smudged more & i really don't know if it's a test error - the vibration of the car, temperature etc. so i googled how long is a urine sample valid - i guess not long if you're very early. so, what do you think of 6hr pee? so....i'm going to have to get nuttier for another day. keep out of my way everyone! laugh. big hugs to all those ttc'ers everywhere.

LOOOOOOOOOL. that was funny. mind you , when i got pregnant, i tested in the evning, at 9 dpo, and the seconf line showed up way after the time frame, which is 3 min. so you can test in the evning too. i am crossing everything for you :)
