Okay. I've been trying really hard not to obsess this month. Last month with me being so back and forth with my m/c, I told myself I wasn't going to get too excited about anything until I had no AF, a + hpt and blood work saying all if fine. Well, today, at 7 dpo I've started what I believe to be symptoms. They aren't major yet, but could it be? I've been hit with 2 waves of nausea today, once this morning and once this evening (very short waves but definately there). Next, I've gone to the bathroom 2x as much as I normally do, not a lot, but more frequent. I'm feeling mild aching in my lower abdomen and my CM is starting to increase. Aren't these all really good signs? I remember them from last month, but they were a little more noticable (plus I had a few more), but, I can't remember really how far along I was when I started noticing. I really remember having the increased CM but I also m/c'd. Is increased CM a good thing or bad?

Good Morning Susan,

I know a lot of times when we want something so bad we put a lot of things in our head. Me personally I think that 7 dpo would be too early to have any symptoms being that this is around the time that you would have implantation. And I know that you can't have any symptoms until after you implant. I know everyone is different and we all get syptoms at different times. Who knows, it very well could possibly be. Try to hold out for at least another 5 days or so before taking hpt, just so you don't get dissapointed with bfn. I'll be thinking about you Susan and please keep be updated on your progress.

~~~~Positive vibes~~~~Patient vibes~~~~Sticky vibes~~~~going your way.

Thanks for the words, but I don't know, I got up this morning and I'm feeling nauseous again. Who knows, maybe I implanted early. I'm really trying to talk myself out of it just so I wont be disappointed, but it's definately there. Maybe it's just nerves or stress (even though I really am staying pretty calm). I'm going to test on 9/26 (ya, right). That will be two days late. Who knows, but it makes me feel better to talk about it.

I wish you the best of luck too. I really hope this is your month. I have good feelings about you. If not this month, I bet next. Good luck and hang in there. What's that chart looking like this morning?

I think its possible that you have implanted and HCG is causing the nausea and maybe other symptoms too. I think the nausea is a typical early symptom so think positive, I hope this is it for you!

Actually my chart is looking really good today. I was getting kind of worried because it didn't jump up after O.

Oh it does look really good. We'll see what FF gives you, but I would set coverline at 97.7. Whoudn't you? Good luck to you. Keep 'em high!!!!

Susan, I know that mild nausea was my first symptom of pregnancy both times I've been pregnant. With my DS it happened at 7-8dpo (I was charting so I am sure of O). I don't know at what point it was with my last pregnancy (m/c 8/03) but it was also early. Trust your body and your instincts. Good luck. I hope you get your BFP next week!

Yes I think I would put coverline at 97.7 if I O'd on CD15 like I'm hoping. Today I started getting some mild cramping in my lower abs, but I'm sure it's in my head because it's way too early to tell. I guess we'll just have to wait it out and see. How are you feeling now. Well the best of luck to both of us. Oh, hope you enjoyed being the queen today. Did it help you from worrying about things for awhile.

Heather, I really enjoyed being Queen. It was so much fun.

I read your post about people thinking your O day was cd 17, but I'm still seeing earlier too. You're the only one who knows your body though.

I'm still feeling symptoms. Everything that I had yesterday with an added headache. I also was really drained when I got home from work today. I usually go on a walk when I get home with a friend and my ds and I was really dragging. All I could think of the whole time was getting home and lying down. The only other time I feel like that is when I haven't eaten very well or I'm pg (I think I've been eating okay). I remember symptoms starting last month early, but I wasn't charting then so I don't remember how early. But I do know that it was before AF. Who knows. I don't think it's in my head, but the mind is a powerful thing. I'll just wait. I'll just wait. I'll just wait. :)

Keep posting your charts I would really like to keep track of how you're doing. I wish us both the best of luck. It would be cool to move to the June board with someone who's been with you the whole way.

Susan
