af is due on 2/16....hopefully a "no show" - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

I am hoping the opk helped me catch the egg this cycle and af doesn't show up when planned....Next cycle, I am definitely going to start charting my temps... I really want to know when I am ovulating rather than guessing based on cm and the opk--and the ovulation "twinges" I have.
My chest feels fuller, but that tends to happen before my period....It is probably too early to test? With my dd, I didn't even know I was pregnant until I missed my period. Then, I decided to test (I was already a week late)

Take care all,
Rachel

Sophie'smomma,

My af is due the same day! I'm 7dpo and pretty regular. My bbs are already sore though, which always happens before af but seems kind of soon, so I don't feel very optimistic. This is our first cycle ttc#1. Do you know when is the soonest any symptoms can be expected?

Also, I've been temping for a few months just to get an idea of my cycle and really like it. I'm pretty sure we bd'd at the right time, and it just gives me peace of mind that I'm ovulating regularly and ok and everything. I'd def recommend it (but hopefully you won't need to and will get a "no show")!

Sophiesmomma, I was just asking about you...I haven't been on in a while and I didn't know what had happened since you tested positive and had some bleeding, although you tested positive after the bleeding .... I was wondering what had happened after that..........

Hey there!

Luckypenny- Wow! Wishing you the best..sounds like this may be your month then! As far as early symptoms, I was reading in my trusty pregnancy bible (the one I used with my dd) and it said that full, tender bb can start a few days after conception, so that very well may be the case for you. With my daughter, I never thought I would have gotten pregnant so soon after trying, so I didn't really notice any early symptoms, right after I was about a week later, I got dry heaves every morning (especially if I had nothing in my stomach) So, lots of baby dust to you. So, you have been temping for few month, I am gonna give that a try next if this wasn't my month.

amh- hey! I had a feeling you were posting about me! Yes, So, my first postitive pr test was dec. 12. I started bleeding and bleeding 3 days later, I beld until christmas eve..Decided to test again Jan. 1--test was still postive. I went in for an ultrasound the following week because my hcg levels were dropping ever so slowly (they really werent' that high to begin with, though). Ultrasound revealed a cyst in the ovary-nothing else. So, finally by January 12 my levels were down, no more postive tests and af started on Jan. 19. So, in a nutshell, I had a m/c, do not know how far along I was. Probably fairly early though, I had enough of the hcg hormone in my body to give my a positive reading 3 weeks later. Here I am ttc again after waiting for only one cycle. Dr. recommend 2-3 cycles however. How are you?
