AF like symptoms

Ok so here I am wanting badly to have a BFP this cycle. For a few days now I have felt AF pushing through but it is really early to tell if this is AF knocking on my door or the stork, kwim?
We have BD'ng every other day since AF went into hiding on Feb 8th.
Did you have better success charting with temp, OPKs and such than not?
Please put your

in.

Better luck?? I don't know how much luck it is.. LOL

I have been temping, charting, and OPK'ing... the last three cycle.. even add in U/S to say "Yes you will Ovualte in the next 24 hours".... The first two were busts.. yes the third I did get the BFP.... But LUCK.. is exactly what is was.. We did nothing different.. as in the charting, OPK's and Bd...

SO I say if you are like me... typical type A person.. that you need to be in control.. temp, OPK... It can't hurt.. Just don't stress out to much! GOOD LUCK!!!

OPK's are always the best way to know (short of a u/s)

But it may just be early preg symptoms. With my first pregnancy, in my first week I was peeing like a banschee, I had cramps, bloating, and queaziness. So if your "lucky" like me you dont miss out on one teeny tiny little second of pregnancy symptoms.

Thanks ladies. Perhaps the word luck does not seem to be the right word. I have felt the PG symptoms before but I am one of the few that does not experience the m/s deal. I feel very fortunate on that aspect.
We shall see what happens here in a few days.
No sore boobs this time for PG symptoms so I am afraid that AF shows her ugly head. Oh well, I will not give up. Keep on trying and if the natural does not work then in April/May it will be clomid for me again. I just had to do 1 cycle of clomid to get the BFP. I just really wanted to have a 2010 baby. It is not yet to late but it does not sound bad to have a baby 2011 either.

Mostly I chart, use OPKs, etc, so that I feel like I know what is going on with me. It's more about control than about making it easier to get pg. (Although I have irregular cycles so without being able to guess when ovulation is approaching I might miss the window to BD every month).

I'm sorry you may have to use Clomid, but I'm glad it's an option for you if you need it. I hope you do get a BFP and a 2010 baby!
