I just can't help it....

[alwshopeful]

Well I've been trying to not notice these for sometime but I just can't help myself!  I'm going insane!!  Woke up this morning to AF like cramps.  Now, the weird thing is that AF is not due for me until the 2nd.  I've been trying SO hard not to look into these from now on and to just go with the flow, but I can't help myself!  The cramps are accompanied by some lower back pain as well.  Nothing more, other than the very thick, gooey like CM I was having a couple days ago.  I'm 11DPO and still have 5-6 days before AF is due but I don't know!!  UGH!!  I hate asking all these questions because I don't wany people to get annoyed but seeing all the BFP I'm getting frustrated!  Thanks for anything!

Congrats ashie!!

Hi there, i got a bfp last weekend and i had lots of thick cm and i could of sworn af was coming coz of all the cramps, i even had a bet with my partner that i was'nt pregnant(i lost a tenner)  I tested positive at 11 dpo. Hope its your month. Kelly.

[alwshopeful]

I'm really hoping it's my month, since these past 2 months we haven't been "trying", just going with the flow.  Hopefully I get it soon, may test in a day or two.  I would then be preggo for my best friends wedding!!

Thank you for giving me some hope!!  Congrats to you!!

[AnitaRFrith]

Good luck and lots of baby dust!  I'm going to be praying you get you BFP hun.  God Bless hun, Anita

[alwshopeful]

Thank you Anita!  You must be excited since you're getting closer now!!  I'm SO excited for you!!  You'll do great!!

I'm praying and crossing everything I can.  Like I said I hate looking too much into them only to get a BFN.  But, I'm staying positive and optimistic about it.  If the cramps keep going, perhaps I'll test in the morning?

[alwshopeful]

I just got back from the bathroom too cuz it felt "wet" down there.  So I ran to the bathroom ready with my tampon in hand and it was nothing but CM.  It was the thick, creamy kind (no smell, sorry TMI) and that was it.  I was like, "What the hell?!?!"  I hate being on this roller coaster of not knowing what's really going on!!  UGH, I'm starting to get impatient!!

[AnitaRFrith]

Lots of CM can be a sign the your BFP is on the way!  * FINGERS CROSSED *  And thank you for your kind words.  Its seems so surreal that I'm going to be a mother.  After 3 mcs, surgery, and almost dieing... the past 3 years have been a real test of faith.  So I find myself thanking God with every kick I feel.  If it can happen for me... it will happen for you!  God Bless, Anita

You poor thing. I'm sorry you are having to go through this over and over each month, but eventualy you will get that bfp! I was sure that I wasn't pg so sure I was even drinking on new years eve. After 3 days of cramps and no af I tested and was shocked when I got a bfp. The cm and cramps can both be signs of pregnancy.

It's so mean I wish pregnancy signs were obvious like your big toe turns hot pink and your belly button starts to beep ;-) Until they figure out some way to do that we have to suffer in the tww. Good luck and keep us posted.

[ashiepooh]

When I got prego this time, I had the cramps, and twinges that I swear the egg and spermie was moving down the tube and implanting!  I had tons and tons of cm, and I just waited till 5 days after af was suppose to be here to test, because well, I had patience, note that had!  LOL  

I will be praying for your BFP  !!!  =)

[alwshopeful]

Thank you both!!  I know it's like each month I'm on my toes but nothing is ever that easy is it?!  I've had the cramps now for 2 days and they just feel EXACTLY like af cramps so I'm trying (key word "trying") not to look too much into it, but seeing the CM as well just gives me butterflies!  I talked to DH about it today when I got home and he told me just to breathe, take a step back, relax and test on Friday before we go out of town.  That way I can get peace of mind before the weekend.  He always keeps me so grounded!!

Anita-I am so sorry you have had to deal with so much in your life!  But like you said, it's been a test of your faith and I believe that is true!  I was not very connected with my faith or with God, but have gotten to become closer this new year.  We've just been talking that instead of forcing the BFP, we're just going to do it our way and go with the flow.  It will happen when God believe we're ready!

[babypooh]

Oh, good luck, honey!!! I sure hope this is your month!!! Don't get discouraged if it's not, okay? Be patient and keep praying! Good luck!

[AnitaRFrith]

We had a preacher that came to our church that said... " Faith is a action... not a word."  And that really stuck with me.  ( He was saying that we should act on faith and not just say it... like the bible says.)  So I was given a crib from my husband's cousin... and I set it up.  I would go into that room and pray every day.  Within 3 months I got my BFP!  Its like they say... faith can move a mountain.  Just remember that.  God Bless, Anita

dont feel lonely!!! i have felt AF like pains since the 21st and mine isnt due until 3rd! and a few other symptoms as well.....but hoping this is our month! ------------------------------- !!!!!!!!!! baby dust to you !!!!!!!!!!!

[bioclock1]

i'm just wondering...is frequent urination A REQUIREMENT to be pregnant? I haven't peed anymore frequently than normal but am late....

[keepurfaith]

bioclock1:
some people don't start peeing a lot right away.. I'm late too. By like 4 days. And, the week before AF was due, I was peeing a lotttttt... Then it calmed down a good bit. Everynow and then I gotta pee a lot lol. So I'd say it doesn't happen the same time for everyone. I'm hopefully testing today...I've also heard that women say they get the increase of CM while others are dry until a few weeks into their pregnancy.. So it just depends because every woman and her pregnancy is different...



alwshopeful:
hang in there girly! it's hard to wait but it will happen! Occupy your mind! :)
I'm surprisingly not going crazy over it. I'm rather calm and that is NOT normal for me! lol
Just hang in there and hope you get what your looking for :)

[alwshopeful]

I'm keeping myself busy with helping by best friend plan her wedding as I planned my own!  I'm doing her invitations for her so it's one less thing you have to do!

motherofan18month: I am crossing every finger/body part I can that this is our month!!  Lots of sticky baby dust to you!!

I'm just really trying to keep my mind off of it until Friday morning.  DH talked to me and said why not take a test on Friday morning just to be safe.  That is 3-4 days before AF is due so hopefully I should be able to tell by then?  Who knows, I'm just not looking into ever symptom like I have done!  I think I became bald fretting over that!!  LOL!!

Once I do, I will definitely post for you ladies!!  This is why I love this forum, you're all so supportive and someone is always willing to listen and provide advice!  Much needed!

[bioclock1]

thanks for the post. I wish I knew one way or the other. I'm only 1 day late so still thinking af will show. This may be TMI but I'm so curious that I will do a CP test just to see if there's any 'flow" that hasn't made it's way down. I"m kinda dry but also have had a tampon in (took it out since no af) and there was some EWCM on it so i'm still confused as hell. UGH!! I just wanna know what's up with my body. I'd really be surprised if I was preggo. Esp b/c other than sneezing and having difficulty falling asleep (but being sooo tired) and cramps off and on, I've got ZERO preg symptoms. Good luck to you though...4 days late is a good sign!!

[eachatelain]

I hope this is your month! Good luck to you, and definitely keep us posted on how it all turns out :)

[keepurfaith]

bioclock1: I've been sneezing too!! lol and I do have AF type cramps but their quick to come and go and arn't painful. I was full of CM before AF was due.. And then I dried up a little... Today I noticed the white CM was back. I was going to test today but I'll have to test tomorrow. Now, I just have to figure out what ''not to eat'' since I'm not sure if I'm preggers yet. hehee.

[bioclock1]

See...I'm the same way. Seriously could fall asleep as I type this (but just had lunch). I've been sneezing a TON today and the cramps are just like yours...come on strong (but not as strong as a real AF...just enough to confuse me) and then go away with in a few minutes. I checked again and still no AF and still dry w/a little sticky CM.
I'm soooooooooooo confused b/c I'm not sure when I o'd b/c I don't remember any EWCM until CD 23 through CD 27 and we only B'd 3 times (for sure on the 7th but other times can't remember). 1/7 was CD 11 so coulda been right around O'ing but again, he pulled out. if I o'd on Cd 11 wouldn't a test show positive by now?

[keepurfaith]

It could show by now. And if it doesn't, it might be too early. But you are late. Even it it's just a day. If I'm preggers right now, it would be from "pull-out" too. Well... We did have that one oopsie. So I could count that too. Lol... but, I think I'm pregnant for real. Not a drop of AF..(tmi)--> Sometimes it's hard for me to tell if I'm going to start AF so I get really soft tissue and wrap it on my finger and push it in some.. for a second.. that usually tells me if I'm going to start.. I've done it once a day.. and theres nothing on it but CM. Sooo I'm getting excited...It happens when you least expect it. And, I hope that it's your time too!! Even if It's not my time when I test, I'll hope it's yours, if that's what you want! :-)


Maybe you should test, just to see and if it's negative then you know it's most likely too early to tell. =P

[bioclock1]

you're so sweet! Thanks...I'm probably gonna go buy some cheapies just to test my heart's content out. Usually that makes me start, so we'll see if that triggers gool ole AF! I do the "tissue test" too...just without tissue (b/c it seems to get stuck!). I actually keep putting tampons in thinking i've started and am enjoying the removal 4 hours later to not even see a speck of AF....heheheheheheh.
aaaahhhhhhh, the anguish of not knowing (pulling on my hair!!)

when are you testing?

[bioclock1]

i have had weird bm's the past few days. sorta constipated but also sorta soft stool, almost diarrhea like (sorry), which is weird. usually it's one or the other before AF....

[Kels123]

Aw, I wish you'd both test! I'm so anxious for you girls!!! Good luck to all of you TTC!

[bioclock1]

thanks!
