Still no CD1. Telling myself I’ll test tomorrow if no AF today. But knowing inside I’ll likely test this evening because I definitely have no chill. 😉
I can relate. I am optimistic for you though!
I am trying to take compassrose' advice and not test until at least Friday. It's haaaaaard.
I have some cramping today and weird tinges in my middle (almost feels like I a stitch in my side like when I exercise too much or something but alas no exercise so it's not that.) Breasts less absurdly sore but still sore nipples.
My temp dropped a smidge this morning (like .15, so I'm really not too concerned). I think I was cold while sleeping, judging by the way I had the blankets wrapped around me when I woke up. Honestly, my temp chart looks ridiculous this month, because I spend half the time either too hot or too cold while I'm sleeping. Thank you, changing Ohio weather.
My nipples are still tender, and I'm still getting hunger pains. The nausea is not really noticeable right now (especially if I don't think about it), but it got pretty bad last night.
Fortunately, I have a distraction today. Our kittens are at the vet all day getting fixed and microchipped and all that fun stuff, so I'm mostly just worrying about them. lol
If I were you guys, I wouldn't test before 12 DPO personally. Typically, implantation happens 7-10 DPO and it takes 2 days for the HCG to be enough to show up.
This is what I keep reminding myself. My doctor's appointment is tomorrow, which will be 12DPO. I can wait one more day. But if she tells me tomorrow that I need to wait until the end of the week to test, I might cry. lol.

This can vary wildly. I've had 4 pregnancies and have gotten BFPs at 11/10/9/9 DPO.
On the flip side, I know there are people who don't get them until super late, 15+ DPO.
I don't think there is anything wrong with testing early, sure you might get a negative but you also could get a positive.

Looks like I'm out, BFN at 9/10/11 DPO and AF should be here tomorrow.
Of course, FF could be wrong about my O date and I could possibly only be 9 or 10 DPO today. It got it wrong last month and I was wondering where AF was for like, 3 days, all the while still testing and getting BFNs. Thanks FF.

I'm sorry HoneySpider. I hope it's just off on your O date. Yeah, you can (and did!) get a BFP at 9DPO if implantation occurred on day 6 or 7; I just meant that the typical range is 7-10, so I figure if I'm actually pregnant, it's likely that the hcg would be sufficient at 12 DPO to show up as a BFP. It's just a more conservative approach.

I'm wondering if I might get away with being slightly less conservative since this is my legitimate FIRST time ever having sperm inside of my body in my entire life (also, ew). That entitles one to be just a little bit crazy, right? If I can convince myself I am some sort of a medical miracle and got pregnant cycle #1 and will get a positive at 10 or 11dpo maybe I will end up testing early. Leaving out of course how completely unfair and ridiculous that would be if I somehow did get pregnant.
HoneySpider, I'm sorry you're feeling like you're out. I hope your O day was just off!

I just want to be able to take my first test and get it out of the way before I truly do sour on the whole process. If I do it will likely be Thursday because that's 11dpo which sounds less insane to me.
seeyalater52 - You are not alone, so if you're annoying then I'm just as annoying!
Imagine how annoying I would be if my chart looked as amazing as yours does! I would have even less chill!! <3
I've been trying so hard not to make any assumptions based on how my chart looks, but I'm pretty much at the point where I'm ready to admit that I'm going to be completely heartbroken if this cycle ends up being a BFN.

*hugs* I feel ridiculous for being this optimistic about a first cycle, but I admit I am going to be crazy disappointed if this didn't work. It's such a rollercoaster.
Ugh, two different friends posted pregnancy announcements on Facebook today. (To be fair, I'd heard about one of said friends through the dance class rumor mill, so I unofficially already knew...but the other was a surprise.)

I'm with you. My chart doesn't look anywhere near as lovely as yours does, but my symptoms are so weird that I'm going to be super disappointed if I get a BFN. I don't feel like this when I'm sick or even when I'm PMSing, so if it's not a pregnancy, I have no idea what weirdness my body would have gotten up to now.

I think I’m done waffling and have decided to test on Thursday. Both because I’m impatient and a mess and also because this is likely the only cycle where we will not use a trigger shot, and that blows early testing out the window a little bit. I kinda want my one chance to do it.
In case anyone was waiting for my updates with baited breath. *eyeroll*
You guyyyyyys, there’s a faint line! So so faint. DH sees it though too. So I’m not crazy this time. I’m going to test again in the morning and see. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

BEST NEWS! How many dpo? Post a pic!!
Dpo is a bit of a mystery. I thought I’d be 15dpo based on my regular cycle but I had O symptoms later than I typically do, so I might be 10-11dpo. I haven’t temped so it’s all a bit of a guess. Let me try to get a good pic. I can’t seem to get one that’s as clear as what I’m seeing.

I see it in the top one!!! SO exciting! I can’t wait for your test tomorrow! I wonder if you’re right about the timing of ovulation based on the line, too.
