Going crazy

mlyster · #1 May 11th, 2009, 10:32 AM

So this cycle is second after my m/c and I was expecting a pretty regular cycle (especially since EWCM showed up when it was supposed to). I was using OPK's but stopped before getting a positive (because we went on vacation) so I don't really know when I ovulated. I should be around 14-16 DPO. Definitely far enough from ovulation to get a BFP right?

Here is where I am going crazy... I have been testing every couple of days (and will again tomorrow if AF is still not here) but am pretty convinced I am out for this month. So, every time I go to the bathroom (which seems like a lot today) I am scrutinizing everything to see if AF is starting yet. Crazy... it will come when it comes, right. Analyzing the toilet paper is certainly not going to help. However, maybe it is like a watched pot never boils - if I just keep checking she will not show up

Anyway just thought I would let everyone in on my journey into full fledged TTC craziness.

You're not too crazy

I'm guessing you O'd a couple days later than you think and it implanted a little later so you'll probably get a bfp in the next couple days. How many days of ewcm did you have? And did you dtd before and after you think you o'd? (Just being extra nosey)

ha ha ha. Erika you can be as nosey as you want on here. IRL I can not imagine telling people this but I started making sure we were BDing on the thursday before we left, then we bded saturday, sunday (when I thought I was o'ing) and since we were on vacation we also bded almost every day that week (varying times and places for the extra nosey!). I only ever have one REAL good day of EWCM (no checking... just on tp) and that came saturday morning.

I hope you are right that I implanted later in the cycle. EPS is off and on. BBS are still sore, still dreaming, but that is really all.

I'm glad you didn't think I was rude

Well it sounds like you did everything right, now it's just up to our stupid bodies. The dreaming symptom is always a good one b/c I think most of us get sore bb's and other things before AF, but the crazy dreams seem like they're solely eps. I don't know, I hope you get some answers soon either way. Waiting sucks. Would you go to the doc and get a blood test if AF doesn't show in a couple days?

I think by next Monday if there is nothing I will go (so giving it this week to either show or be a BFP). That would make this a 5 week cycle which is longer than what I has pre m/c.
