Ok, I'm up... where's everyone else?! DS thought I should be up at 0545, so I think you should all be up too. I'm not-so-patiently waiting to hear about Coley's testing news.
Sending you lots of

[sweatshirtgirl]

I'm stalking Nikki today too! Hoping she gets her BFP (and maybe it will rub off on me this month!)

Good luck, Nikki!

[AmandaEliz]

LOL! I got up, fixed Ethan waffles & logged on while he was eating to check on Nikki. Like any sane person would be up at 6am (DC time) on a Saturday.

[Coley]

So. I woke up this morning and temped as usual. 98.03 Lower than yesterday, but still in the 98's. I told Danny I had a dream that my BBT broke. He said he had a dream that my temp was 92.7

Danny says "Do you have a test?" I said "Yeah, I've got one good one left." He says "Well, go pee on it." "Now?" I said "Yeah."

So I go and pee in my cup, rip open the FRER packet, let it absorb, re-cap it, set my timer and wait.

After the required 3 minutes... I slowly pick up the test feeling very hopeful that I'll finally know.

B-F-N

So... I came back to bed and told Danny that it was still negative. "That sucks" he says. I said "Yeah, it does. But there have been girls who haven't gotten a positive for a while."

My back started really hurting last night while we were at Border's and I woke up to it still hurting. Danny rubbed it for me, and that seemed to help a little bit... but not much. It's still pretty achy.

My bbs are still feeling swollen and really sore. When I laid on the bed on my stomach so Danny could rub my back... they really didn't like that.

I know this may sound terrible and completely illogical, but I wondered for a moment whether I got a bad batch of FRER's. I'm sure that's not the case. Everyone swears by FRER, how they are so accurate and all...

The only tests I have left now are IC's and those seem to be pretty much crap in the opinion of most here. So... I dunno.

I haven't seen any blood or anything. So... again... I dunno. I guess I'll just wait and see how the day goes.

[CandaceDianne]

Still a good temp and like you said, its still early.

[bliss]

Well, don't give up! It's not over until... well, you know how the saying goes

[Coley]

Yeah... I'm not giving up just yet. I can't lie... seeing that BFN kinda dampened my spirits some. But my temp and symptoms are keeping me hopeful.

I'm really achy... my back and thighs are really sore. I had heard of backaches before, but not general aches and pains. I was worried that maybe I was having an ectopic because I've read about feeling pains with an ectopic and that they can also give BFN. But those pains seem to be either in the shoulder or abdomen and I'm not hurting there. I've done some googling and apparently it's pretty common to have aches, although not discussed much. I don't get these sort of aches normally before AF... so there's that.

I felt a bit nauseous a while ago... my mouth was watering like I was gonna hurl. But I'm chalking that up to the fact that I took my prenatals and B-6 before breakfast.

I got the beginnings of a headache with the nausea, decided to lay down on the sofa and fell asleep for a bit while DH was cooking breakfast. Now that I've eaten, I feel a bit better in that regard.

My belly is still making all sorts of gurgly sounds after I eat and I'm still fairly gassy... out of both ends. HA!

Still no bleeding... just creamy cm. I did notice it seemed to have a bit of a yellowish tinge to it when I checked. That made me worry a bit because I was wondering if the color changed because some bleeding is on the way. Maybe not.

[Admin-pattyandthemoos]

I slept in today so that is why I wasn't stalking you earlier. I desperately needed a shower today and I am just now coming around to check on everyone. I saw your temp drop today and I was a little worried about how you would be feeling. It is still a pretty high temp. I never see 98 degree temps in the two week wait so I think it looks good. And it is still above your coverline.

I did want to respond to your ectopic worries since I have had two of them. Trust me I am the spazziest worrier about this. I think you wouldn't be getting ectopic symptoms just quite yet. I didn't start having symptoms until I had had a bfp for about a week and the thing about ectopics your symptoms feel very much like pregnancy symptoms. The pain doesn't come till later.

I am sending you some stay away AF vibes!!! (((HUGS)))

[Dóchas]

Sorry about your BFN honey but like the girls said your not out yet so I'm taking the witch aside and giving her a good talking to. We don't want to see her face around here for at least 9months.

[DeepSouthMommy]

Coley, even though your temp dipped a bit it still sounds like you are experiencing pregnancy symptoms more than PMS. I know what you mean about that BFN dampening your spirits, but just remember how many stories there are here on JM about women not getting their BFPs until much later on! As far as the dreams that you guys had, I wouldn't put too much stock into them as they can just simply be reflecting your fears. If I were you though I'd wait another couple of days before testing. It seems pretty common that many women are in the higher teens of DPO before they get their BFP. (And yes, I know that this is easier said than done LOL)

[~ Christine ~]

It sounds like you have lots of good symptoms. Gas is one of the first things I get and it's soooooo much fun!

I wonder if you actually ovulated on CD15? Do you think that's possible? It seems like you had a real thermal shift after that. Just a thought.

[shauna0325]

I think your chart still looks great, don't give up hope yet! And just opinion here, but try taking prenatals after eating, I know I personally can't take vitamins at all until late in the day or I'll feel sick. I don't think it matters what time of day you take them.

Maybe we both got FRER's from a bad batch??? <sigh> Waiting is the worst.

[sweatshirtgirl]

just wanted to say sorry you got a BFN, but like everyone said, it's early and all your symptoms are a positive sign. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

[robineliza]

Coley! Ick I'm sorry about that ugly BFN! My crossables for you are still crossed and I have a good feeling still! Good luck!

[forest]

I'm sorry about your BFN, I thought for sure today was going to be your BFP. I know quite a few people who didn't get a BFP for quite awhile so I am crossing my fingers for you!

[Coley]

Thanks for the reassurance about the whole ectopic thing Patty. I don't know a dang thing about them. The only reason it came to mind was that I was reading about aches and stuff and that often if you have an ectopic, they often show as false negatives on HPTs.

I don't feel any of the stuff that I usually feel when AF is coming... so that's a good thing.

I went onto FF in the chart gallery and was looking for charts like mine with an O on the same CD that turned out to be positives. I found a fair few that had BFN's before BFP's. Some didn't get BFP's til 16 to 20 DPO. I even found a couple that had BFN's at 14 DPO and then wound up getting BFP's later.

So... still not seeing any signs of the so that's all I can really ask for right now.

Thanks for checkin' in on me girls!! I luv you all!

[Arya]

Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow, I'm crossing my fingers! Don't give up yet, your chart looks very good!

[~ Christine ~]

I can't wait to see tomorrow's temp!

[Wallflower]

Sorry about the BFN, but I bet you've got a BFP comin your way soon!
