Slowly dipping my toe in this thread.
Oooh another one! Welcome CDNinNYC! Is this a sign of the economy improving that we have so many joining TTC? I swear this thread was moving slowly for a while.

Thanks for thinking of me DC, I'm on day 7, so 5 more days until I test. I have had a short luteal phase since coming off the pill (have no idea if it was short before that!). I've also had an issue with spotting for anywhere from 1-5(!) days before my period starts. This cycle I started taking extra B6, and I just really, really hope that the spotting stops, even if I don't get a BFP!Date: 2/4/2010 11:49:13 AM

ambulance92 - CONGRATS on the positive HPT! Super exciting. You are also the first 'Gold' winner in the month of February, so yeah for you
lurkinglurker - Aren't you in the midst of your 2WW too? How much longer do you have to wait?
sunnyd - Well, its always a pleasure to see old friends, but I can hold off the 'official' welcome to later, if you want. Any more news on your maybe oopsie?
Bella and Bliss - You guys are absolutely hilarious and crazy!You had me literally LOL, so much so that my DH was staring at me funny last night. He asked what I was laughing at, and I think he thought we are all nuts, but he also said he is happy that I have all you ladies to comiserate with.
And, I couldn't agree with my DH more, you ladies are all SO FABULOUS! Iyou all and I hope that we can all share in our exciting journeys in the coming months. Thanks for bringing me lots of laughs when going through what can be a somewhat frustrating and fret-worthy path. Who would I obsess about TTC and CM with otherwise?
PS: Bliss, what was the prediction for this month?

Okay girls...the TWW is killing me!!! We are taking a long weekend and going to visit DH family, his nephew is getting Baptized this weekend. When I come back on Monday I should be about 8DPO. I honestly don't feel it this month, even though we did most everything by the book, except BD on the day of O. If this is not our month, we will definitely BD a few extra times next month after O.
I am hoping to not test until the 13th, which should put me at about 13DPO. Anyone else in the TWW with me?
So many new ladies around here!!! Good luck to you all!!!Date: 2/4/2010 7:29:34 PM

Thanks for the welcome mia1181! I don''t know if it''s a sign of the economy or the fact so many of our friends are expecting. Either way, I''ll take it.DH wants to officially start trying in May so we have a few months to warm up to the idea.
I always thought I wanted twins until I visited my friend and her two four month old boys.I was ready to have my tubes tied after that visit.

I'm in lady... the 13th will also be 13pdo for me. It's funny b/c we're not *trying* but every month I find myself looking and waiting for any kind of sign. It's driving me batty b/c I want it so bad but we're supposed to wait to *try* for a little while yet. We don't use protection though and even though I made DH aware of my fertile period, he insisted we still go for it b/c whatever happens, happens and if it does, we'll be very happy!
Now, my question is, for those ladies who felt that little twinge or cramp or whatever it is called when implantation is occurring... what does it exactly feel like? Like a menstrual cramp? Or different in some way? I'm feeling extremely different. I thought last month I was feeling some things but this month is SO different. I don't want to read into it but I definitely do feel different.
I'm also extremely bloated which I generally don't bloat, not even when AF comes to visit. And then there's the really weird feelings in my lower lower abdomen. I am 4dpo right now.

Hey IHA! You would not be feeling implantation or any symptoms that are pregnancy related this early. Symptoms felt this early on can be blamed on good ol'' progesterone, which can cause a slew of things to occur to your body. Progesterone coursed through your body after ovulation and can cause many symptoms which can be mistaken for pregnancy. Implantation bleeding and cramping should occur between 8-12DPO, only after implantation has occurred would you start to feel symptoms that are PREGNANCY related. But then again some women just KNOW that they are pregnant, unfortunately this early on, anything you are feelings would not be as a result of pregnancy.
An egg once released and fertilized takes between 6-8 days to travel down into the uterus, then another 2 or so days to attach and finally burrow into the rich uterine lining, that is when the body starts to release the HCG in order to get a positive, this is why the earliest someone can get a positive is 8DPO+.
Good luck lady...I will report back with my own symptoms/or lack there of after Monday!
LL, I just wanted to give you a word of hope from a chronic spotter. I had a 13-14 luteal phase but would started spotting every cycle at about 8 or 9 DPO. I was SO WORRIED about my spotting. I googled it all the time and called my OBGYN no less than 5 times while we were TTC about it. She continued to reassure me that she didn''t think it was a problem. Lo and behold, on cycle 5, I got knocked up!Thanks for thinking of me DC, I''m on day 7, so 5 more days until I test. I have had a short luteal phase since coming off the pill (have no idea if it was short before that!). I''ve also had an issue with spotting for anywhere from 1-5(!) days before my period starts. This cycle I started taking extra B6, and I just really, really hope that the spotting stops, even if I don''t get a BFP!
Good luck to everyone!
ETA: I''m right there with your AllieLuv - I''m looking forward to a weekend with fam too to keep my mind off of things as much as possible!
CDNinNYC: I think that you, me and Charbie are in the same boat. I am staring to "officially" try in May, and I belive that Charbie is not "officially trying" for a few months either, although we both are cool with a pleasant surprise before thenDate: 2/4/2010 7:29:34 PM

As for me, I am on track with Bliss to be in prime time over Valentine's weekend. I am going to try to track my O date with OPK's in addition to CM and BBT this month. We'll see how it goes...
Thank you icekid. I''m trying to just push it out of my mind because truthfully she doesn''t know what she''s talking about. I can''t decide if I''m going to tell her that her words hurt me, because honestly the only thing she''ll be thinking is "I can''t believe dad told you I said that." So not really worth it.Date: 2/7/2010 6:39:57 PM

charbie- I have a feeling you''ll be jumping in the waters sooner than you think. Once you start posting around here, it''s a slippery slope.
Kunzite- No matter how old you are, what a rude/hurtful thing for your sister to say! Obviously she has no idea what she is talking about anyway. Hope the new cycle is the one
Please let me know how the B6 works for you. I also have a short LP and spotting so I would love to hear how things go for you!Date: 2/4/2010 7:12:04 PM
