Oh the games my mind plays - is it PMS or EPS? UPDATE in Post #1

zkat · #1 March 12th, 2010, 06:40 AM

So today I am 14 DPO on a 14 day luteal phase and my brain is driving me crazy!

6 DPO - BBS swell and veiny and a temp spike for me. This is very normal PMS pattern so I tell myself that if it is still the same Tues (11 dpo) I will start getting excited. Tuesday comes and I still don't trust it, so I tell myself, Thurs. is 13 dpo, and my IPS fade dramatically after 12 dpo, so Thurs. But on Thurs - it could just be a wierd month, Friday for sure! Friday - by Friday I will be 14 DPO and I will get hopeful if my bbs are still veiny and swollen and my temps are still up. Today is Friday - 14 dpo, not only are they still veiny, but now I can see the veins through my areola and I am dark skinned! My bbs are actually more sore and swollen and my temp is at an all time high. So, you would think I would wipping out Pee sticks and going crazy, but NOOOOOOOOO. Now I am microexamining my chart and saying "What if I didn't ovulate until cycle day 13 and I am only 10 DPO. Maybe I should wait until Tues. Even though I know I didn't O on cycle day 13 - my cp was firm, cm was almost gone and my pre-o temps are rarely above 97 (This whole cycle has been temp crazy). Keep in mind, DH has been telling me since 7 DPO that I am pregnant and he usually ignores to TWW completely!

So - anyone want to chalk stalk and give my some clarity/sanity? I really need to test b/c if I get a BFP I need to get on Lovenex. I am not even sure what my problem is, because if I get a BFN, I am fine this month, This is our first month TTC since the loss in Sept. I am in the middle of two soccer seasons and really don't want to make up a lie on why I can't play only a couple of weeks into the season.

So what do you think and be totally honest, I want to know everyone's truthful opinion, not the usual internet TTC white lies!

**********UPDATE*************

Temp dropped this morning, but I POAS , just to put a final end to the question and it was a BFN. I am not upset about it, especially since it is our first month back trying and I have a couple of month's of soccer season left (It would totally bite to pay $150 in fees and only play 2 games)

So, it looks like my new PMS is super swollen, veiny bbs and exhaustion - yea -not.

POAS!

I think based on temps alone, you could maybe think you O'd on CD13, but based on your other signs, it seems less likely. With the O date that FF has for you right now (and even if it was CD13) your chart looks really good! And your symptoms sound promising, too. I would POAS (although I would have started long ago, haha).

On another note, I also will have to start Lovenox with my next BFP, and I know it is scary. But it's really better to know early and get started with the shots.

KUP! Good luck!

Your killing me! Just go and test! I would not be able to wait if I were you! Those signs are good ones, and the spouse often knows more than we do and you have way more will power than I would and I could go on and on....really though. I looked at your chart and its all foreign to me. I would pee on a stick and then post! Please! I will be praying for that bfp for you!

I would have peed on about everything in my path by this point with a chart like that! LOL

Test! I don't know anything about charting but even if you are only 10 dpo you can still get a BFP!

BeccaM · #6 March 12th, 2010, 10:24 AM

I would say test. Symptoms sound very promising!

I should have known all the POAS pushers and addicts would be the first to respond!

Lindsey - I really think O was cycle day 10. I had strong o pains on BOTH sides, right side around cd 7 and left side cd 10. Day 10 is my normal O day (last cycle was really weird because I was on estrogen the entire cycle and AF was 3 days late based on original O date)

I will see what the rest of today and tomorrow morning brings

pee girl, pee!!!! i'm not even a poas pusher, but you're killing me!!! pleeeeeze pee!! LOL and good luck

Kary♥RN · #9 March 12th, 2010, 03:43 PM

I would poas... since if it is a BFP you need to go on lovenox... you don't want to wait to long and have something happen.. because you didn't test early....

GOOD luck will be waiting for the result!!!

zkat · #10 March 12th, 2010, 08:03 PM

Kary - If I don't start tomorrow I will test on Sunday so I can call the doc. Monday morning. I don't know why I am so hesitant to test this cycle. It's not even that I am going to be upset at a BFN, just not antsy to pee on something.

Celena · #11 March 12th, 2010, 08:40 PM

That's exactly what my chart looked like when I got pregnant this last time... so who knows! I would POAS tho

Lady you're killing us here LMAO!!! Good luck on Sunday and KEEP US POSTED!!!!

Hope you get a BFP!

Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a POAS pusher, so I am not going to tell you to POAS.

I am no chart whisperer either, so I am not really going to comment other than your temps are really whacky in the second half of your cycle! Maybe DH really knows something

Best of luck hun, but if no go then we welcome you back in the operation cycle baby group!
