Hi ladies! Just popping on real quick to check in. I am 6dpo today, boobs feel really weird/tingly and a bit heavier. A bit nauseous and sensitive to smells this morning. I SWEAR I see the faintest of faint lines on my test this morning! Using tools on this site, the first picture I uploaded this morning I definitely see something on invert, so hoping I see a progressing positive as the days go on!!
Enjoying vacation way more than I thought I would, it has been SO fun!! I feel young and like a kid again, HA!
Hope to see some BFPs this week!!

@Anna -
So, I'm 6 dpo today and feeling absolutely nothing except for some light discomfort (very very light cramps). But I always do at this part of my cycle. Normally I would've already tested, but even though I find it REALLY hard I'm not gonna test until 11 dpo. I'm curious as hell every cycle, but I feel I reached a point where I rather see a negative than see a faint line disappear. I've had so many chemicals I'd rather not now of them anymore.
On another note, I've started eating pineapple (including the core) as of yesterday. I know I tried it many cycles ago and thought I would give it a go again. If it helps with implantation, then great! If not, at least it's really yummy.

Guys! I am having a lot of hip discomfort On both sides!! I struggled lifting my legs yesterday and even today as I was driving to work (45 min ????) it was uncomfortable! I have been feeling quite fatigued, including my body. It almost feels like I have inflammation on my hips or something, I am hoping to make an appointment with my Chiropractor soon, possibly help me with some strategies or something pregnancy safe to give me some relief ????

Thanks Anna. I am still getting the stupid flashing smiley!! I only have one more test left so I am hoping it is a solid smiley since I am not sure I will be buying more just yet. Still been using the cheapies and today’s is darker. I am really getting frustrated!! The digital test when I pulled it out was a big mess so I am wondering if it messed it up and I was supposed to have a solid smiley. So I waited a while and did a cheapie test and it looks pretty dark to me but I have no clue!! Any thoughts ladies??

@shay i don't think you are there yet. I have read that you're not supposed to read the lines inside the digital test because they don't mean anything. I think i already told you i once had a flashing smiley for a long time and thought i was going to miss my peak but it just took a looooooong time. Since your cycles are irregular, you might want to get more sticks and be prepared to keep testing for a while. If you want to save money and you already know you had your estrogen surge, i would get the LH only test (the pink instead of the purple). I have also heard that once your purple one starts flashing it will keep flashing until it detects LH, so it's not like its still telling you it detects estrogen as you keep testing if that makes sense. If your temps are still low then you haven't missed you O. Keep BDing every other day if you can to make sure you don't miss it. I know its frustrating AND i know exactly how you feel!

@Anna - Good luck at the doctor's office! I can totally relate to wanting to test early. I'm 7 dpo and are itching to test. Waiting until 11 dpo feels almost like torture.
AFM: Slept like shit tonight, so I'm super tired today (not that good when I have to study ). But even so, the temp were almost the same as yesterday. Expected it to be lower actually. Are starting to feel warmer, but it's probably only a progesterone surge I'm feeling. Some slightly tender boobs, which appears to be my "new normal" since I've had it for a few cycles now. Counting down the days until I plan on testing at 11 dpo and are actually quite proud of myself for not testing already.
