sammysam, those dreams are the worst. I'm sorry your brain did that to you. purple, big hugs. Trying to decide between physical health and mental health is so hard to do. I hope your body heals quickly.

So my symptoms on bfp cycles and BFN cycles are pretty much the same. Which is so frustrating. And I've never temped on a bfp cycle so I don't know what my chart would even look like. Gah. I'm trying not to test until Wednesday at the earliest (which would be 10dpo) but my will power sucks. I drive myself crazy with this shit. I analyze my charts from my CPs and have now realized that they are pretty much the same as my failed cycles. It's SO frustrating. I thought that having heartburn was a sign of pregnancy in the TWW. Nope, this happens every TWW wait for me regardless if I'm KU or not!

Age of LO(s): 2.5 Month/Cycle: 12/3AL CD/DPO: 28/9 Timing: -4,-2,+1 RRCS: I havent temped in like 4 days so there is nothing to scrutinize, lol. I'm in the same boat as many of you where like I can't even hardly imagine seeing a bfp at this point. A friggin year of disappointment and fading hope. I can't even bring myself to test anymore, it seems like a cruel thing to do to myself. I will test on 15 dpo, Saturday. I just feel so gutted about ttc. I snooze every pregnant person on Facebook. The second I see a pregnancy post, I just immediately do it. I just can't. And as a teacher there is about a zillion pregnant ladies at work, including my classroom aid and the school psych and counselor all who I work with closely. Haha, even when I went for my chemical pregnancy to the hospital for an ultrasound the girl who checked me in was hugely pregnant. I'm sad it's not me too. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way too. EVERYONE is freaking pregnant at my work too. It feels like some cruel joke.

Such a mind fuck. Ps. I introduced on ttcal but it seems like the same group of people are here. I do not have any LC but I can participate here if that's easier. I always feel like I have to talk about loss on ttcal but there is so much more to talk about when ttc. If it's not ok I'll see myself back to the other thread.

Hi everybody! I was active on the other board back in 2016 when I was TTC for the first time. I mostly posted on the infertility board and briefly on the December 16 BMB after I eventually got pregnant. I'm hoping to jump in here if y'all will have me and I'm looking forward to get to know all of you!
Age of LO: 16 months
Month/cycle: Month 4/cycle 5
CD: 1
Timing: n/a
RRCS: I ordered a bunch of OPKs of Amazon today and I'm looking forward to getting back into TTC more seriously! It took us almost a year and half to get pregnant with my daughter. I have a unicornuate uterus (basically half of a uterus) and only one Fallopian tube. I had two failed IUIs and surgery to remove some endometriosis before I got pregnant on a TI + Clomid cycle. So I'm hoping Clomid does the trick again this time around!

Stupid vivid dreams, sammysam, so sorry! These fertility drugs are giving me crazy dreams but I'm thankful none of them are pregnancy related yet. In regards to fertility treatments and multiples, this was a concern we brought up with the RE at our first appointment. Ask about all the statistics for different treatments, the risk of multiples is obviously higher than in the general population but not THAT much higher. It's also all about weighed risk, we don't want twins but we also don't want to wait years and years for another baby so at some point you decide to jump in.

Welcome Foxy and sunny75! I hope both of your stays here are short! And Foxy, I can only speak for myself but please don't feel like you can't participate her because you don't have an LO (yet). And you're right in that most of the same people are here. Post where you want to!

I'm on the crazy train.

Late to the check-in this week, it's been a busy couple of days.
Age of LO(s): 9, almost 10 years
Month/Cycle: 16ish? I've lost count at this point.
CD/DPO: CD13/WTO
Timing: None yet
RRCS: My FF chart is all messed up this month. I managed to come down with a respiratory infection last week and didn't sleep well at all over the weekend, so I have two temps I think I need to discard because they were higher than normal. Still crossing fingers that this is our month. It's O-week and today is DH's 43rd birthday, it'd be a nice gift for him.

I'm 8 dpo and have been looking at those websites where people put in all their symptoms in the TWW leading up to their BFP. I'm on the crazy train. I look at these all the time. Currently I'm on the "do OPKs always get darker after O if you're pregnant or do they just get darker after you would already have a positive HPT? ". Yep. I need help. For anyone who is interested my OPK at 9dpo is totally blank:(

And my breasts have been tender since O and its messing with me. Mine always get sore after O. But I think on my last bfp cycle they were not as sore as they normally are until AF was meant to show. So now I don't know if I want my breasts to hurt or not. Grrr. But they do so there's nothing I can do about it. Now I'm trying to decide if they feel "normal" sore or "pregnant" sore. Because of course I definitely know the difference:/

Foxy - you can totally stay! I know it might be annoying or hard that we talk about our LC here so if it bugs you you’re always welcome to post in the other thread or make a new one! There aren’t many of us so no one posts WTO or TWW threads but if you want to we’ll totally chime in!

sammysam I may go home and take an OPK now! We're going to need a full report on your findings lol So just so I don't seem completely crazy...I started wondering about this after akwild got a pretty dark OPK at 9dpo and then tested with an hpt and it was positive. I have read everything I can find on the Internet. A few places say OPKs will get progressively darker if you are pregnant BUT after doing more research it seems that OPKs remain totally negative until you would get a positive on a hpt. So they will start to get darker again but only when you would already be registering a positive on an hpt. You often won't get a positive OPK until a few days after a positive HPT. Of course I need to test this. So far very negative...like almost no second line negative OPKs the past few days. I thought yesterday looked a tiny bit darker but today virtually blank. It's a fun experiment though so I'll follow it through for a few months anyways and hopefully at some point be able to answer my own question. Anyone want to join me? Aparently I like to pee on money.

I found a website literally called two week wait and does the same thing with symptoms leading up to bfp. I think I ovulated today, so of course I'm scanning EVERY 0 DPO symptom. Help me help myself lol

Anyone want to play TWW symptom spotting with me? Again, let me preface this by saying I do not think this is my month BUT it doesn't stop me from hoping.
So 9dpo for me. Symptoms: sore bbs, super dizzy, abnormally good mood
That's it. Anyone else?
ETA: temps on an up trend

FF's pregnancy predictor is only giving me 7 points. Hahaha. I usually have at least 25. I guess it agrees that this likely isn't my month:)

I did a few opks during some of my TWW and got faint lines but I did not test with OPKs while pregnant so I never did get an answer.

Until I realized it's out of 100. We'll call 5 and 7 awesome numbers;) I'll die if one of us gets KU on a 5 or a 7 cycle!
