CindyBeth said:I am on dpo8 and started feeling nauseous yesterday morning for a little bit and then again last night and again for most of the morning. I have also been having a headache on and off. Can preg symptoms show up this early? Or do I have some weird bug? My dh thinks it's all in my head!!

Maybe it's just the stress of quitting a crappy job, and getting a MUCH better one...
Just a random thought! I'm rootin' for ya.

Bleh - I'm starting to see a little light spotting, and it's 8dpo - AF ususally shows up around 10dpo, with light spotting for a couple days before, so I'm starting to think this month isn't it for us either. My temps have still been high, so I'm trying to keep my hopes up, but I don't want to hope too much and get crushed. I just have such a short luteal phase, and I'm concerned that this is causing problems. This is only the 4th cycle we've been TTC, but we've been BD on the right days and nothing yet. I've been charting for a year now, but DH wasn't ready to quit the BC until Aug. And my stinking cycles are so darn long it always feels like forever from AF to O, and then a dreadful race to AF.
ImarriedGrumpy I just have such a short luteal phase said:Forgive me if I am totally wrong. I read this tread everyday, but often forget who has what going on.. a short luteal phase can be problem. Did you talk to a doctor yet? I have a short phase too..not as short as yours I don't think. I am trying to figure it all out now.
I read about the short phase being a problem in Taking Charge of your Fertility.
Good luck and sorry about AFcoming
I told myself I wouldn't get my hopes up anymore that way maybe I won't be as disappointed when AF arrives each month. At least this month Christmas and our upcoming trip have taken my mind off of things. Both of my pregnant cousins are due in January, so pretty soon I won't be surrounded by pregnant people at family gatherings. Newborns don't bother me as much as pregnant women.

I went in for a "pre-conception" appointment in September (long story, but the appointment was supposed to happen in June and the HMO messed up...) so that I'd get into the system ASAP. My Dr. is sympathetic, but we still have to jump through the hoops of the HMO. She said we might be able to shave some time off of the 6 mo. of charting after the class, but they need to have me documented as doing the follow-up with the class instructor for at least 2 months before she can get approval to give me any treatments for issues in my cycle.

Maybe it will stop? Could possibly be implantation...don't give up hope until it's a certainty! 
I have never heard about the "class" on charting. Interesting...I went to an appt. with my OB a few weeks ago to discuss fertility, etc... She absolutely refused to run any tests until I had been TTC for at least 1 year (I was on my 5th month TTC). So, I think the whole year thing may be pretty standard, not just your HMOs decision. In any case.....baby dust to you 
....the 5th month was the magical month for me - so maybe it will be for you too!!

Totally OT, but as my cat was chomping on a mini marshmallow (I was making Rice Krispie treats), I thought of your Cheez-It-eating kitty.
Back to the original topic, I'm officially in the TWW. And DD told Dh and I tonight that she wanted mommy to have a "real baby. A sister. Because I'm a girl." and she held her hands out to prove it like this Smiley:
Yesterday, she wanted to know if Santa was going to bring Jack (the cat) a present...then she said that he would probably bring him a dead mouse, fish, or lizard. When asked WHY Santa would bring dead things, she replied, "Because he's a cat. He likes them dead."
ImarriedGrumpy said:It could indeed be a problem, but our insurance is dumb, and my Dr. can't/won't do anything about it until we have been TTC for at least 6 mo. without a BFP. And THEN, even dumber, I have to go through their "class" on charting and chart for another 6 mo. before they'll believe MY charts.
What's extra annoying about this is that DH was going to get us off the HMO and upgrade to the PPO insurance at his work, but he was laid off in August and we're stuck with the HMO for now. He has a contracting job now, and the benefits really stink, so we're still on the Cobra. I keep telling myself "at least we have insurance. At least we have insurance." But I still hate our HMO!
, so we will be trying again.
