Where are you in the 2ww?
How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom?
Are you going to test? When?
CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you?
Re: Anyone else in the 2WW?
Yep, I am. FF would have you believe I'm 4 DPO, but I adjusted it and am certain I'm only 3 DPO.
Only "symptom" I've had all day today was mildly gaseous/crampy feeling in the lower ab area. I'm pretty sure it's just because I didn't have my usual daily #2 for whatever reason. The YI is overriding everything else!
Only way in hell I'll be testing is if I get past 12 DPO. My last 2 or 3 LPs were only 11 days, and I pretty much always spot beforehand.
CBHQ: If anyone who is not a dear friend or family dares to touch my stomach, I cannot be held accountable for my actions. I'm a very tactile person, but the stomach is OFF LIMITS, pregnant or otherwise, to anyone not in my innermost circle.

It's easy not thinking about it when I'm not temping. Usually are chart stalk none stop now I can't!
Right now my boobs are sore and I've got A LOT of CM. but it's a bit early for symptoms.
I won't be testing unless AF is a no show. Which is due around 10/7.
CBHQ: I won't mind anyone I know touching it at all. Strangers would freak me out!

~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Where are you in the 2ww? I'm at CD 21, so about 7 DPO
How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom? I'm focusing on all the upcoming testing that's going to happen if I don't get pg this cycle and the scheduling of it all. Some breast tenderness and smell sensitivity, but I'm seriously broken out (only happens normally during AF) and TMI alert- I'm SUPER constipated. Never happens. Plus a dear friend of mine just went on bedrest and I'm going to be in the delivery room with her, so I've been helping her out and I'm making the cake for her diaper shower this weekend.
Are you going to test? When? I won't test unless AF is overdue by 2 days. I'm tired of wasting tests.
CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you? Not really. I could always change my mind, but I'm a pretty touchy feely person. I'm always VERY respectful of other ladies bumps though. I don't even ask. If it's volunteered, great.
Where are you in the 2ww?
8DPO- holy temp jump this morning!
How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom?
Luckily I work 3 in a row this week to keep me busy, and I doubted FF for the first 3-4 days...
Are you going to test? When?
If my temps stay up where they are I will test Thursday and Friday.
CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you?
Family will be ok... I think the big problem I will have is my patients touching it. They don't have very good manners.
@dangermuffin23, I hope this is it and you don't need more testing!!
@Sewilson33, not temping left me too much in the dark. I've thought about not temping after O, but I want to know when AF will be here.
@LuckyAngel07, you have more willpower than I do, I pee on everything!!

And no, no touching. I hate when people touch me. FTN.
ETA: yup--spotting has started. I'm out. GL everyone!!
I'm not sure. I decided that since we were pursuing testing that I would take a break this cycle. I really have no idea if I've even ovulated yet or not. My CM did seem like it was drying up but now it's back. I also usually get sore nipples around/after O and I haven't had that yet. I'm just hoping that I don't have a 100+ day cycle like I did last year at this time, especially since next cycle I have my HSG and we should be starting Clomid.
I know I should probably test at some point but I have no cheapies and I'm less inclined to waste money on expensive tests. So I'll probably wait it out for a while and see what happens.
Good luck, ladies! It will be amazing if this GP baby boom continues!

@LuckyAngel07, @Sewilson33, @DangerMuffin23, @blueeyedblossom, @Uptowngirl2009- fingers, toes, arms, legs, everything crossed for you lovelies!!!
Where are you in the 2ww? 1 DPO
How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom? I'll try to chalk it up to progesterone suppositories or AF- I really try to not hold my hopes up too much.
Are you going to test? When? Yep- October 13th. If negative, it will be a drunken Sunday
CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you? I don't know- at this point, I think I won't care solely based on the fact I would be over the moon if I would be finally pregnant.
@blueeyedblossom You did have a huge temp jump!

I'm not... I'm trying, though! Stupid head games...
Are you going to test? When?
I'm going to TRY to wait and see if AF shows or not Tuesday, but I might POAS this weekend.
CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you?
Family and close friends don't need permission. For everyone else, the rule is: ASK; then touch.

Since my LP are pretty regular I don't need to temp to see when AF is coming and I usually spot for like 3 days before she comes. So I know I'll have fair warning before the b*otch shows.

Where are you in the 2ww? 8dpo maybe?
How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom? Besides slight cramping yesterday I havent felt any different. But Im not getting my hopes up either way.
Are you going to test? When? AF is due next Tuesday so probobly then if there are no other symptoms of AF.
CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you? Been there and while yes its weird, it doesnt really bother me. People are generally facinated by pregnant women so I get it. But I dont mind people touching me in general. Its not like people are trying to get a full on hug from me or spread the herp. People just lose their filter when around pregnant ladies. That being said, I am a belly toucher. I love pregnant bellies, but I would never touch someone without asking first and it would only be someone I personally knew, never a stranger.
