Wow, I just realized I'm technically already a week into my 2ww this cycle!
Maybe the reason I didn't clue in faster is cause we've only bd'd twice this month, and because I've still got EWCM... Plus, I'm not feeling any symptoms at all!
Ah well... AF will possibly be here in a week and we can start again!

Yay for one week down! :-D That is a blessing! Hoping and praying for you Tripper!

praying hun.

Still no symptoms of anything...
I was looking back at my chart on FF... and laughing. Cause there's almost no way we could be pregnant! Sigh... I guess that's what happens when both of us are super busy with our jobs.

I'm trying to be obedient and listen for God's will, but it's getting harder. Dh just turned 30 yesterday, and I think his age hit him. Neither one of us is getting younger! Sigh... hopefully we'll get started on 'something' soon, whether it be a home study or getting the ball rolling again on the medical front. We'll see.

I'm trying to think of something to say to make you smile along your journey... just know that I think of you often!! ((hugs)) [lovesmile]

Same here, Trip-- What Kim said~ We sure love ya gal~ I'm still praying for you! God bless you, sister~

Aww shucks... Thanks ladies! I'm smiling now! :) Your replies help me remember that I'm not alone in this...

Well... Huh! This is the longest cycle I've ever had! I haven't had ANY symptoms, but I'm 16 dpo and I've never gone more than 14 before. In fact, I usually only go 11... I'm SO trying not to get my hopes up! Our timing was horrible again this month, but I guess it's still possible... Now I'm not even sure if I have any tests left! :o I'll have to go check. When should I POAS?? I don't want to see *another* bfn... I'd almost rather just wait for AF to show up. Or morning sickness! Haha

I wonder what's going on?? I don't think I could wait to POAS, myself. But then I'm totally impatient like that. :lol: Do what you feel will make you feel the best. If you can't stand the wait, go for it. But if you can wait and it won't drive you around the bend to do so, then hold out a bit longer. Praying for the best! [lovesmile]

OH! Praying too Tripper. So so hoping with you!!
Well you could really test anytime at 16dpo, no need to wait for fmu. :-D

Praying

Praying!!!

Oh wow, certainly will beef up the prayers tonight! Hugs sweetie, praying this is it for you.

I'm with Kim... I'd be poas so fast it would make your head spin... ::snort:: I'm praying for you Hun!!! Keep us posted!!

Well, just so I can avoid seeing another bfn unless absolutely necessary, I've decided to poas on 18 dpo (Sun) like FF suggests. If she hasn't shown up between now and then, there really IS something going on!

prayers, Trip! and Hugs!

Ooooo.... praying-praying-praying!! God bless you, Trip, hun!

No spotting yet, but my girls are starting to get itchy and I've had my first cramp of the cycle... Lol

How interesting this must be for all of you to read! [whatwacko] I'm more tracking this for me, honestly. Thanks for all the encouragement as I go thru this though. It helps to know others are thinking of me.

Oh! Side note: my devotions this morning (Exodus 6:1-13) were about God's reminder to Moses of His promise to the Israelites to give them their own land. I couldn't help but see the parallel to God's promise to me... And even if this isn't the cycle, I'll still hold to His unfailing love!

Definitely thinking of you and praying Tripper. [hug]

Whatever the outcome, you know you have all our love and support! [lovesmile]

praying hun.

We are excited to be part of this journey with you! Praying

Strange thought: this is the "closest" I've ever been to being pregnant before! Lol
Ah well... I'll take what I can! Even if it turns out I'm not. Still no new symptoms though!

I am praying praying praying :)

Always here to be on your journey with you. Don't always post but always read. It *is* interesting and, even more so, it is a blessing.

Praying with you!

Praying, praying, praying!!!!

Update: Sigh... I checked on FF and I *have* already had a 38 day cycle once before... :( That means I really shouldn't poas until day 39... That will mean Monday. And I'm already feeling cramps that will probably lead to AF tomorrow. :tear:

Tripper, cramps are ok. Period feeling cramps go with pregnancy too. So sorry the symptoms are so similar. So hoping for you!!! [praying] popcorn [lovingsmiley]

hee he thinking thinking... Are you 18 dpo on Sunday? Doesn't Tcoyf say 18 days and it is a very good chance you are pregnant. Wish I had the book, sorry I can not double check. It is not so much how long your cycle is, but how many days past o you are. [hug]

hugs, waiting anxiously for you!

Oh honey... what an emotional roller coaster TTC is! :( I'm so sorry hun~ I pray the cramps are *not* AF related, that the Lord will bless you with an open womb, and you'll get your first BFP tomorrow! Praying the Lord's blessings on you constantly, hun! ::hugs::

18dpo? Is this the longest you been past ovulation? I am praying for you hoping for good update :)

popcorn

Praying and hoping with you!!

still praying here too. No matter the outcome, praying, but still hopeful for you sweetheart.

hugs

You ladies are fabulous! SO encouraging! Still nothing though. No symptoms besides the cramping. Including when I poas this morning. I got (another) BFN to add to my collection. Lol
I've still got occasional cramping, but no spotting or anything. If she doesn't show in 2 days, I'll poas again. Today is officially 18 days past ovulation. If she's not here by the end of the week, I'll go see my doc and have b/w done! What else can I do?

Oh Trip, praying with you. Sure will be watching for more updates. I think your plan of action is a good one though. You're right, what else can you do? I don't think much. Hang in there dear!

Grr... I think I'm out this cycle. :( I *think* I started spotting tonight. I'll be able to confirm tomorrow though... I hate this waiting game!

Oh honey... I'm still praying for you!!!!

Praying for you this morning.. would give an arm or a leg..or both.. to hear good news.

Was praying for you today, hoping for good news for you this early morning. hugs and prayers sweetheart. I know this journey has been long for you.

thinking of you too :)

was thinking about you and still praying for you, they should make an otc pregnancy blood test, kind of like a diabetes one, you prick your finger and it reads the hcg in your blood, you know if they had one they would make millions lol every woman in the world would buy one...lol

Wow Melinda... What a great idea! I'd buy one fer sure right now!

Today the spotting continue, but isn't very heavy. If this is AF, it should be a very easy cycle to get through! I haven't had any cramping today, and that's what usually makes AF so unbearable... I'm guessing I'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings - if things start to pick up, then I'll know I'm out of the game again this month. If not, I'll probably call my doc. I wish I had more answers - both for you AND my own peace of mind! Grr... Oh well. It's all in His hands either way. :)

oh my goodness , iam on the edge of my seat!! i really wish period symptoms and pregnancy symptoms weren't so simular . thinking of you hun and hopefully you'll find out soon.

Praying, Trip!

[welcomehi] Hey, Tripp! Praying for you. How are things today? :)

thinking of you too :-D

Checking in with you too! How are you doing today??

Hey hun! Just thinking of you today--- looking for a check-in! Praying hard for you, as always! Blessings heaped on you, gal! All my love to you, sister!

Came onto cmoms today too after praying to see how everything was? hugs and prayers sweetie.

The one time my LP ran over by a few days when it was always 12 days long... I still wonder about it. Did something happen? I still remember the night AF came..sigh, I think it was 16dpo.

Light spotting and no cramps tho.. Ooooo. That sounds a lot better than my most promising cycle was. Praying!

I wish it were better news... Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I just couldn't... I was too much of a blubbering, devastated mess...
I'm better today. But AF is definitely (still) here. :tear:

dang! I was so hopeful for you sweetheart, so hopeful. As I am sure you were. Please keep you chin up, per sue other avenues still, adoption, fostering, mentoring, tutoring, etc. There are so many kids out there that would love a mom like you!

Not trying to put salt in your wound. I don't understand what you are going through. But I want to encourage you to find what you long for.

Trip, can I ask your name?

Hugs, hugs, hugs and continued prayers (I hope that all come across with the love I meant it with.)

Oh honey.... :( I'm so sorry AF came... :( :( :( I'm still praying for you!! Praying for peace and praying for next month!!

[hug] [hug] [hug]

So sorry gal. No other words... was so hoping and waiting with you... prayers

Oh Tripper, that is so devastating. So so sorry. Will be praying for you this week and hoping and praying for you next month too.

I don't think there are any words that will help right now, my heart is heavy for you too..........hugs dear sister

I am so sorry to hear it, Sarah. [hug]

(((((((((hugs))))))))))

Praying for you sweet sister. I pray you continue having hope but continue to be opened to the Lords Will.

Joy and peace to you,
Amber

(((hugs)))
