TWW - How y'all doin?

I'm in the last few days of my wait and thought I would shout out and find out how people are doing.
I thought early on in my TWW that there was no chance in hell I would be pregnant because my temps did not rise until 2 days after my IUI, but after getting some sharp cramping in my uterus over the past few days and waking up to some pink spotting today that has not continued, I'm starting to think it still might have worked. I'm getting excited for testing on Sunday, since I normally have a 12 day LP.
If I did conceive, the baby could be born on 12/31 or 1/1 - how cool!

I think the cramping is a good sign. And the pink spotting. Did you do the special diet again this cycle?
I was felling really optimistic until I got the call about my progesterone being a bit low, but I have had continued cramping off and on today and I have no appetite for anything but fruit and veggies, but my stomach is growling every 2 hours (not normal for me). Also, I can't seem to drink enough water.
My beta is not until Wednesday, but I know I'm not going to make it until then. DP has agreed to let me test o. Sunday. She wanted me to just wait, so we compromised. Sunday will be 7dp5dt and I should be able to trust the results by then. I am terrified of a BFN.
I did a few days of fruit/veggie fast but my +OPK snuck up on me so I only did it for 2-3 days, which really was fine by me! The last time I had gotten pregnant I had O'd late and was doing the fast for way to long - like 10 days. I think you had the same problem. And 10 days of no tempeh, tofu, beans, - well that was getting dang old!
I'll be testing on Sunday too. Nice to be cycle buddies again - let's hope one or two of your beautiful embies make a comfy home in you for the next 9 months!
I would be Jan 11th if I get lucky. Now just need to keep busy for two weeks so it passes quickly.
Here's hoping April brings some good news for as many TWW's as possible
I took a test yesterday and today which both were negative. Oh well, I was bummed about it earlier but I'm to the point I've seen almost two handfuls of negatives that its really not too shocking if its negative. I think when I get a positive I won't even believe it.lol
So today we are 8dpi, we haven't tested yet, she's trying to hold out till Monday. It's also been tough because neither of us can remember if there were or weren't any symptoms last time, and so we feel like we're brand new to this. LOL, I know last time I was too afraid to think of anything as a symptom (let alone write it down) because I was too afraid to jinx it.
But ya, that's where we are at... hopefully we all get some BFP's around here soon!
TTC #1 5/16/11 = BFP 14 DPI / TTC #2 11/16/12 = No O; 4/12/13= BFN; 6/9/13 = BFP!! (11 DPI) - MC 5wk5dys / TTC#3 3 BFN's and 4th try 10/21/13 = BFP!!!! (Squinter at 10dpi!)
Very bloated! Irritable, and emotional! Fun times! Hope this brings me a long awaited BFP!

earrefinnej-- What is the fruit/ veggie fast....? What is that supposed to do? thanks....
........................... Trying again soon ..................................
My naturopath recommended I do a fruit/veggie fast (no grains, no proteins - so only fruit, veggies, nuts, and seeds) for 4-5 days prior to ovulation as it can kick your body into a survival mode and help you reproduce. Kind of strange, I know, but I am willing to do anything. I only did it for a few days this last time, but had done it for 10 days in my prior conception process - which ended in m/c. I didn't want to do it for 10 days, but my O was late last time and this time it snuck up on me.
