So I am still confused with this cycle.

By monitoring CM I was pretty sure I o'd March 17 or 18. This means I would be close to the end of my 2ww. I have tested (as some of you know) but have gotten a false positive and a couple BFN (the latest was this morning). I have had symptoms much like I did with my previous pregnancy (queasiness, fatigue, frequent urination, crazy dreams, etc).

This past week I have also been cramping a bit - I don't even like to say cramping because it is more like I can feel things going on but not neccessary painful. It is similar to what I would get the day AF shows... but AF has not shown (hence the testing).

Then last night an abundant amount of CM appeared. Thick and sticky and sort of creamy colored. No idea what to make of it all

At this point I want AF to show up so I can stop obsessing over every little thing. I have decided I am not testing again until Friday.

Onto good news. My husband defends his PhD thesis this Friday!!

[*SamF*]

Woo-hoo On teh PhD thesis! Hope all goes well with it!

Not so sure on teh CM either. But I would keep POAS till AF shows! And just in case throw in some BDing as well!

Wow! Good for DH! What did he do his thesis on?

Maybe you implanted late? KUP!

[mlyster]

The official title is "Simulation of Geologic Phenomena Using Multiple-Point Statistics in a Gibbs Sampler Algorithm".

His degree is in Mining Engineering and he specialized in Geostatistics. I have a degree in Civil Engineering and reading his title makes me feel stupid! Basically he wrote computer program to take data and create a "picture" of what is under the earth's surface.

Wow, very nice! I understood up to 'Geologic Phenomena ' LOL

I'm not sure about the cm either I agree with Sam.

And Yay Hubby!

Try to stay possitive!! you could just be testing too early... congrats to DH.. way to go, and I thougth English 111 was hard... *yikes*

[mlyster]

Thanks all! We are definitely still throwing in some BDing and I am not testing until Friday so that I don't feel the need to tell DH and distract him before his thesis defense.

[tobynscarlett]

I say test again!!! and again if necessary! Good luck and KUP!!!

Also, good luck to DH!!

Good luck to hubby...

I would tell you to poas ... but I am pee crazy...... So POAS!!

ok so last night my queasiness turned into full blown nausea. for the last week or so when I lay down (in bed, on the couch, etc) I start getting a bit queasy. last night it was nausea... no more telling myself it was nothing. I actually had to sit up straight in bed and almost headed for the bathroom a couple times.

So I retested this morning (even though I said I wouldn't)... still BFN Have you ever had a certain brand give you BFN's even when you should have been getting BFP's? I have been testing with the same dollar store brand for the past few tests and consistently getting negative results but the EPS (or possibly imaginary pregnancy symptoms) are getting worse.

[*SamF*]

I had EPS several days before I got a BFP. All I can suggest is trying another type of test.
Hope you get the BFP soo!!!
