Thanks!

I will have to do that.

I feeling like I might have AF at any time now. Today is CD 27.

CD 23 .... 7 DPO .... Same as CD 22, twinges/tingling on right side
CD 24 .... 8 DPO .... More tender/sore BBs, same as CD 22
CD 25 .... 9 DPO .... BBs very very tender, & bigger, a lot of twinges, tested PM = BFN (Hubby said it was too early - making me wait until next Sunday)
CD 26 .... 10 DPO .... BBs very very tender & feel harder (sore in my arm pit (?) ), a little CM - kinda creamy, aversion to cigarette smoke & few other smells
CD 27 .... 11 DPO .... Same as CD 26... Feel like AF is going to come.. Disappointed. Cranky.

After a heated argument with my mom,

I started feeling dull aching cramps tonight..

Then I felt like my BBs were itchy and on fire.. hmmm Strange.

I had the same itchy feelings -- i kept checking my bb's everyday, the nips weren't as sensitive by this point, when touched or anything -- but then i noticed ever so slightly -- blue veins showing up on them -- do you see that? That's a sign of blood go to them -- and a sign of pregnancy. LOL I also got the dull aching period like cramps too -- still have them actually. Some people say they are normal, some people don't.. I think it all depends on the person ... When is AF due?

I took a pg test the day before AF and the day that AF was due and got a negative -- then got a faint positive the day after -- ... it could be to early to test ...

Hmm. I normally get some blue veins.. I definately have those. AF is due today (CD 28) or tomorrow (CD 29). Sometimes it is a few days later.

Today: CD 28.... 12 DPO : My BBs aren't as sore... but I have had several small waves of nausea.. I feel a little air heady... And creamy CM actually showed up on my panties (sorry if TMI

) Cervix is very high up and soft. No dull cramps today at all.

I still feel like AF might come.. I feel like I am faking myself out with the whole minor nausea bit. And I am bummed that my BBs aren't as sore.. They are still huge with blue veins all over them..

I don't know... I really really hope so!

I felt the same way. So you never know! I didn't want to get my hopes up...so i tried not to read too much into the symptoms, but I know when it's weird.. I thought usually around time of AF you should have no CM or it should be dry -- mine never dried up, it was always slightly wet or creamy like yours... That is a good sign. My BB's weren't sore at all until now which is about 1 week after my AF was due. I had the waves of nausea too...I thought it was nerves... Guess it wasn't...

I hope AF stays away for you. I'll be staying tuned and will be keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP!!!

Aw girl! Congratulations! I am so happy for you!

Do you think I should test tomorrow even though AF might come??? Argh I don't know what to do.

ProudArmyWife · #10 December 18th, 2008, 11:32 AM

Well, today is CD 29 .... 14 DPO .... I tested early this morning and

I noticed my BBs are not as sore.. but they still are. CM feels pretty dried up, and some dull aching was happening off and on for a while, but not period like cramping. I feel like the

, the lack of CM, and my BBs not as sore kinda say that I am out this time. I was pretty upset and cranky, but I am feeling much better.

Last night Hubby "checked" my cervix (He has a general education in obstetrics & has delivered several babies) & he say it was pretty low and hard & my CM was drying up.

I feel like AF should show up any moment/day now.

Is there any hope, or does it sound like I should be expecting AF?

ProudArmyWife · #11 January 5th, 2009, 04:33 PM

AF showed up on CD 30 (12/19/08)

So I am starting a new cycle!

CD 15 .... wet/stretchy CM, BD & used Instead Softcup after & left it in for about 5 hours
CD 16 .... wet/stretchy CM, BD & used Instead Softcup after, but took it out after 1 hour

Currently I am on CD 18. AF would be due between CD 28 (1/15/09) and CD 31 (1/18/09).

We will see what happens this month!

mandymc18 · #12 January 5th, 2009, 05:37 PM

Good luck my AF is due at about the same time. I am hoping for good news also!

ProudArmyWife · #13 January 7th, 2009, 07:30 AM

Thank you! Good Luck to you as well!

Well, today is CD 20. Nothing to update other than DH and I BD'd yesterday morning.

I am trying not to spend too much time thinking about it -- as I have TONS of work to do right now! Hopefully I can stay busy! My girlfriends want me to stop counting and just forget about it for a while. I hope I can do so!

ProudArmyWife · #14 January 9th, 2009, 02:11 PM

Today is CD 22.

Only thing I am feeling is a few twinges down there, and my BBs became noticeably larger and sore yesterday. This usually happens for me each cycle, so it doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. Also, CM is pretty lacking... It is sticky, and my cervix is medium (as far as height) & hard.

I wonder when I can test? I notice some ladies on here get their first BFP as early as 10 D.P.O. Problem is --- I'm not sure when I O... Hmm.

I think I might O between CD 15 and CD 17. Which means I am currently 6 D.P.O +/- 1. (So I could be 5, 6, or 7 DPO)...

ProudArmyWife · #15 January 11th, 2009, 07:28 PM

Today is CD 24.

I could be about 8 DPO. (I might be only 7, or I might be 9..)

Today I started to have a little increase in CM. It was yellowish on my panty liner (sorry if TMI) & a bit creamy. BBs are still large and pretty sore. Other than that nothing else has really happened. --

Other than the dream I had this afternoon after church! I was pretty pooped and lying in bed spending some time in the Bible, and I fell asleep & I had a dream that I was very pregnant & was having a c-section and my Husband was there with me comforting me and we had 2 beautiful baby boys.. I told DH about it and he said "You're preggers"

(But he kinda says this every time -- so I took it lightly)

AF is due on CD 29 or CD 30.

ProudArmyWife · #16 January 12th, 2009, 11:34 AM

Today is CD 25. (9 DPO)

More yellowish CM on the panty liner.. and BBs are still sore & larger. I really am not feeling anything other than that.

I just took a FRER and got a

but I was expecting that. I think I will test tomorrow morning using FMU? We'll see.

GinaS. · #17 January 12th, 2009, 03:42 PM

Good luck!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Let us know how it turns out!!! Tons and tons of baby dust coming your way!!!

ProudArmyWife · #18 January 13th, 2009, 05:22 AM

Thanks so soo much Gina!!

Same to you!!!

Today is CD 26. I tested this morning at 04 30 because I just could make myself wait any longer and got a

Still sore BBs, but I feel like the CM might be drying up... I still had some yellowish CM on the panty liner this morning... (sorry if TMI)

AF is due in 4 days. I'm almost done with the 2WW!!

(I noticed today that I was very hungry and felt a bit nauseous.. And I had a very minor dull ache... I feel like AF might show...

)

ProudArmyWife · #19 January 14th, 2009, 07:32 AM

Today is CD 27.

I tested this morning at 04 00 and got another

Yesterday CM seemed pretty dry. After class this morning I came home and realized I felt kinda "wet" and I had a (sorry if TMI) rather large glob of creamy white CM just waiting to transfer onto my panty liner... but when I checked around my cervix it seemed pretty dry.

My BBs are still sore, but they aren't as sore as they were yesterday.

I feel like I am out again this month. I have no idea. I am guessing because my BBs aren't as sore that I should be expecting AF.

What do you all think?

It is frustrating to keep staring at the FRER's hoping to just see some sort of a line... but nothing.. I can't tell you how many times I compare and check and recheck all the old tests.. I must be crazy.

** 3 40 P.M. ** This afternoon I noticed my BBs were having some shooting pains... My chest also looks like a roadmap with all the veins. And my tummy/digestion is very gurgly/loud... Feeling "wet" down there... Not a lot of CM but it is definately present.

ProudArmyWife · #20 January 15th, 2009, 11:47 AM

Today is CD 28.

BBs are feeling less tender, but still large.
CM was a bit yellowish, now just a little cloudy white/lotiony.
A tiny bit of "stretching" in my uterus, some aches here and there, but no cramping.

Just took another FRER this afternoon and

I have this general feeling that AF is right around the corner.

I'm not sure why... exactly. I'm just feeling a little blue.
