12DPO BFN, Starting to Feel Out of the Race

Yet another blaring white BFN this morning at 12DPO.  I'm starting to feel out of the race this month.  I know it's not over till the bitch shows her face, but I feel like af is lurking around the corner ready to say ha ha bitch you thought you could lose me, not yet! My temps took a big drop to 98.18 today, so I'm sure it's going to keep dropping.  Only time will tell...


Symptoms
  • cramps (normal)
  • sore breast (normal)
  • fatigue (this can be explained with work and school)
  • emotional (don't know if this is a symptom or not but I feel fucking hormonal!)
  • backache (normal)
  • increased cm that is becoming very creamy
  • gassy (I deal with bouts of IBS and I believe today is one of those days)

11DPO and anoter BFN

So here I am 11dpo with another BFN.  Oh well I expected as much. All I know is that I'm done with cheap dollar store tests, those give you nasty evaporated lines.  Evaps are lines that have no color or are gray in color instead of pink.  A lot of women get these thinking it's a positive test to only be disappointed when the witch rears her ugly head.  I still have until Tuesday before she's scheduled to arrive, so I'm not fully out yet.  And my temp is at the highest it's been EVER, 98.69.  I'm just wondering if there are outside factors into that temp.  I did kind flip flop in bed since 5am and my room was really hot. But hey it's my temp and I'm dealing with it.  As for symptoms I'm still cramping like AF is around the corner, this is really annoying and putting me in a foul mood.  I'll update more as the day progresses.  I truly think these are more PMS than PG right about now. 
*update* OK so my CM/CF (cervical mucus/fluid) has changed to watery, and I tend to get that about a two days before the witch shows.  So I'm going to assume this cycle was a failure and she will show her ugly face over the weekend or by Monday.


Symptom Watch 3.0
  • cramps (normal before the bitch it due)
  • bloated (also normal pms)
  • moody (those of you who know me, know I'm a moody bitch so this is normal)
  • skin break out (I only break out twice a month, during ovulation and right around af)
  • breast have become a bit more sore, but again this is normal for me.  
  • dizziness (after lunch)
  • nausea (after lunch)
OK now I have to get some work done and stop obsessing.  Like I said above, I will be adding more "symptoms" as the day goes on.   I'll probably add a picture of the evap just for good measure.



Cheap Dollar Store Test normal and inverted.

10 DPO and Counting.

For those that don't know, DPO means days past ovulation.  So currently I'm on CD (cycle day) 22 and 10 days past ovulation.  Before you ask, yes I tested, no it's not positive yet.  But I am cautiously optimistic right now.  Early this week I felt out of the game but as time goes on I feel like I'm still in the running.  I normally have a LP (luteal phase) of 14 days give or take a day or two.  I also tend to ovulate pretty early on in my cycle which makes my wait feel like forever at times.  Oh and cycles average to 27 days.  I do plan on marking down my symptoms daily.  I'm running out of time for today so I'll start it off quickly.


Symptom Watch 3.0
  • cramping = kinda feels like AF (aunt flo or my period) is lurking around the corner.  I've been feeling this way for days now and I normally don't get these cramps until I'm much closer to my cycle.
  • sharp pains = they come and go and can sometimes shoot down to my vajajay.  OUCH
  • snot like discharge = this one is grossing me out cause it's snot like with a tint of yellow.  EWWW.  It's not a lot and nothing feels wrong down there, so who knows.
  • backache = I have chronic back issues so I never really count this one in.
OK this is all I have for now.

Journey 2 Addition

This will serve as my private, invite only, TTC and hopefully pregnancy blog.  

Quick background,we're on our 3rd cycle of TTC. Well to be honest, I'm more TTC while he is more NTNP.  I don't care how he views it as long as he continues to make his deposits. lol  We're both 34 years old, soon to be 35 for me, and we have a total of 3 beautiful children.  My daughter, his daughter and our son.   I would love to add another daughter to our clan.  I must be nuts for wanting more let alone another hormonal female in the house. lol  But after swearing up and down for YEARS from the moment I was pregnant with lil guy, I have changed my mind.  I blame all my pg friends and those who've I've been standing by while they are/were traveling down their own journey 2 addition.  Below you can find my links to my many charts.  What can I say I tend to become obsessive at times.
