Hi ladies !!
I have been lurking in forums such as these for a looong time. This is my first post!
I am in the 2WW and actually supposed to get AF today.

Some symptoms:
O - 3/20/08 - VERY painful O this month
1DPO - 3 DPO Nothing
4 DPO - 9 DPO Mild cramping, creamy white discharge
5 DPO Sore bbs, MOODY creamy, white
6 DPO - more creamy white and moodiness
7 DPO - present Same stuff + MOODY!
12 DPO - 13 DPO Bad cramps, thought AF would show any minute

Starting last night I have had a bad headache (although I usually get a headache right before I start) Also, lots of wet fluid "down there" and very HUNGRY today!
I usually start AF first thing in the morning, and it is after noon now and still nothing. My cramps have pretty much disappeared. Every once in a while I get a little twinge.

I POAS this morning (14 DPO) and it was BFN - do you think I still have a chance??

You never know! Some women don't get a + until 16dpo

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was 2 days late when AF finally showed. Lucky for me it was the lightest period I've ever had in my life! About 4 days (normally goes 7-8 days) and then 4 days of very light spotting. Weird...

I am getting SO frustrated. it has been over 2 YEARS since my last Depo Shot. I can't keep doing this!!
Last week I went to get checked for cysts, PCOS, endometroisis (Dr. requested), hormone levels were checked, thyroid levels checked (again). Everything was "normal". I have been having other symptoms too, which is why I went ahead and got the tests. Dizziness, hair loss, anxiety, EXTREME fatigue, muscle weakness and more. Many days I just feel "bad" but can't quite put my finger on it.

Anybody have any suggestions? If one more person tells me to "just relax and it will happen" I might scream!! LOL

Are you taking pre-natals? Taking prenatals before getting pregnant is a great idea, plus the extra vitamins may help in making you feel better

Also, are you charting/temping?
I suggest this because the temps will help you to know for sure when you o'd, also, post o temps can give hints to possible issues with progesterone. I know you said you got your hormone levels checked, but progesterone needs to be checked after ovulation 7-9 days)
Do you happen to know what level your thyroid came back at?
Sometimes borderline normal for some people can affect them quite a bit.

Thanks for responding...
I have been taking prenatals for about 5 years now! They do make you feel better; I can tell if I miss a day or two.
I have not really done the whole charting or temping thing. I occassionally will temp. during the end of the 2WW to see if my temp is staying high or not. I really need to start doing that though, since AF has been kind of not-regular lately.
Unfortunately when they checked my hormone levels, I was on CD 5, which I know is way too soon. It confuses me why they would have wanted to test at that time! My progesterone was 1.6 at that time, which I think is normal.

My TSH is low on the thyroid, but I am euthyroid which means I take Synthroid to keep the TSH suppressed (because I have a nodule) but still having signs of low thyroid, which my Dr. said I shouldn't really be having. He recommended I see an endocrinologist, so I guess that is my next step.

It kind of snuck up on me, but I guess I am in the 2WW again already! I'm not even sure when I O'd this time. Was supposed to be yesterday I think. I didn't really have the normal symptoms though, so I'm not sure if I even O'd at all. Hubby and I BD on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th so we shall see! If I don't get my BFP this month, DH will go get his little guys "counted" and I will go see an endo. Dr. Wish me luck!

Diet, wt, activities and such can also effect things. If you are trying too hard sometime you wont conceive because of the stress level you put on your body that put hormones out of whack.

Good luck
