I poas again this morning....BFN....I'm thinking the $tree tests we have here in Canada are pure !/$!/$!"/%$%/$.
I'll conduct an expirement and have my sister pee on one just to see if she gets a faint line. My test yesterday looked pretty positive to me...no squinting or anything and in the timeframe. This morning I went to look at it and the line isn't there anymore plus I would have gotten a darker line this morning with fmu....so I'm thinking AF should be here soon.
I'll try one last time FRER tomorrow morning if AF doesn't show up today.

AFM...I'm getting frustrated with charting. I woke up 3 times last night...temped each time and just took an average of them. Will FF wait a couple of days before it gives cross hairs? I'm pretty sure I o'd Sunday or Monday but I don't have crosshairs. My temp is shifting but I don't know how accurate it is since I wake up a lot and don't sleep well.

I know I should have taken my temperature this morning but AF showed up in the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep thanks to cramping. I promised myself I would start tomorrow. This is my first month charting!

I am not too disappointed this month, I figured we didn't have much of a chance since my husband left a few days before I ovulated. So unless his swimmers have glue guns with cement hidden in their pockets to cement themselves in I knew I couldn't expect anything. :giggle:

morning all! CD17 here and no sign of O. Last month was so clockwork it was amazing but this month just sucks (for lack of a better word)!
Still reading low on CBEFM and still neg OPK's. No pains or twinges in my ovary area. The only plus is that I do have more CM than last month.
I truly do think that adding an exercise routine and eating better has had an affect on my cycle. Of all the months to try to get fit and I pick this one! LOL
Congrats to yesterdays BFP's! I need to read and catch up with the ATTS from yesterday but I dis see Lori's digi!! Yeahhhhh

Good morning ladies!
Thanks for linking my chart!
DH is gone so it doesn't matter when I O, except I hope it's soon, so I get AF soon after he comes home and we can get started! If I O on time (cd 18-19) and the Clomid works, I should be due on my mom's birthday!! (6.16).
I can' wait for this upcoming cycle! Just opk'ing and temping to see when I O this month so I know when to expect AF.
Sorry about all the BFN's and cd1's.
Also, I wish I had a speculum so I could have pictures of my cervix like beautiful cervix. I can feel it, but it's way cooler to see it!

Pam - I'm looking for yarn to spam you! :thumbsup:
AFM - BIG fight with DH last night. Horrible. :yuck: But we talked afterwards and he apologized and so did I and it seems things are back on track. He just gets so stressed out sometimes and I feel like he takes it all out on me. Than man needs a chill pill :chill:
So....temp went back up to "normal" today...hoping it spikes tomorrow so that today is O...been having crampy ovaries yesterday and this morning.
Here is yesterday's OPK....I don't think its +, but its getting there. Sorry its blurry...phone pic you know:
It IS nice to see two lines on a stick for once. :giggle: Oh, and we tried out the preseed last night. We both really like it. It feels so...natural. Not all sticky and gross like other lubes. If DH didn't know I put it in, I don't think he would have noticed. :giggle:
Happy Tuesday!

Sorry your fighting, but at the same time, it's essential for a good relationship. How bored would we be if we were all the same and always agreed? (there, it's the silver lining lol!)
Thanks for the review on preseed. I meant to read back and see if yours got there yesterday since you were waiting on it. Mine came also (ordered it last thursday)...and nice to know it's nice lol!
AFM-cd6, temping this cycle. I notice some don't start to temp till after AF has gone, is that better? I noticed cd5 and cd6 were the same temp, and cd3 and 4 were lower...I'm on ff but didn't get the VIP membership yet..if no bfp this month, maybe next month i'll pay for it. Not sure how to share chart if not VIP

opks tell us when we have an lh surge, but you o 12-48 hours after your surge. so your pos opk detected the surge, and your surge didn't last long, and so now almost 48 hours later you're oing. hope that makes sense...

I 'think' that makes sense. So when I had a POS OPK on Sunday...that was the day to dtd even though I didn't O until possibly today. And yesterday, when I had a neg OPK my LH levels were low because I was about to O? I just want to make sure we dtd at the right time...I'm second guessing myself over here.
I guess with the neg and pos test it's just safe to say I O'd between yesterday and today and to stop stressing about it...right?!

FF waits for 3 higher temps before it gives you cross hairs, so you will be 3 DPO before it gives you them.

My first pregnancy, the test that finally said +, was taken at Planned Parenthood at 8 weeks (i'd had 3 - results in the previous 4 weeks). I think it was a couple days before DH's birthday.
With DD, the + test was a full week after my AF was due, and about 4 hours before I had to get on a plane to go to job training, so DH was the only person who knew.

Ok chart experts...some help please??
My body is confusing me. It is like my temps, CM and C position are not telling the same story. My cycles run from 24-28 days with the most common length being 26. I am on CD16 today but I thought my CM was looking ovulation Sat and Sun. I do think I have thick "hostile CM" often so I have been taking expectorant to help with that this cycle. I had to do that to get DS last time too. But then today I expected a temp spike and no spike. Also I woke to find my cervix high and soft. HHMMMM?? We DTD The last three days in case with a lube called conceive that is supposed to work like preseed. I only just learned about inserting it with an aplicater (thanks to you ladies!!) so I did that last night. But today despite a deposit from DH and the lube it is pretty dry in there. So confused! I know from last time thet I tend to have an LP of 11-12days, so I would expect to ov today or tomorrow at the latest. So where is the EWCM?? It came and went already. Why is my cervix high now? And hello temp spike where are you?? I wish these three symptoms could get together and tell me one story!:headscratch:

I think that you should take one everyday since you got a faint line today. You could probably get away with skipping tomorrow (if you can hold back from POAS) if you want to save some though.

Seriously wish I could help, but this is the same problem I'm having. Thought my cm and cervix were ready and had some EWCM for the past couple of days, but nothing like today. Today the EWCM is in full force, but the OPK from yesterday was neg and my cervix feels high and softer again.

Katie since your here.. Day 10, charting, negative OPK (barely a line) a few minutes ago, FF says predicted O is in 4 days, how often shoud I take an OPK I would try to do it everyday from now until you see a l l! just me though:giggle:
Ok chart experts...some help please??
My body is confusing me. It is like my temps, CM and C position are not telling the same story. My cycles run from 24-28 days with the most common length being 26. I am on CD16 today but I thought my CM was looking ovulation Sat and Sun. I do think I have thick "hostile CM" often so I have been taking expectorant to help with that this cycle. I had to do that to get DS last time too. But then today I expected a temp spike and no spike. Also I woke to find my cervix high and soft. HHMMMM?? We DTD The last three days in case with a lube called conceive that is supposed to work like preseed. I only just learned about inserting it with an aplicater (thanks to you ladies!!) so I did that last night. But today despite a deposit from DH and the lube it is pretty dry in there. So confused! I know from last time thet I tend to have an LP of 11-12days, so I would expect to ov today or tomorrow at the latest. So where is the EWCM?? It came and went already. Why is my cervix high now? And hello temp spike where are you?? I wish these three symptoms could get together and tell me one story!:headscratch:
HHMMM not able to get FF to share here?? Uhm, SS but I am in the same boat. :banghead: no help from this newb.
AFM CD23 and nothing. - opk's, no ferning, no ewcm, :sadno: :reaction: I mean seriously. my opk today was just a faint pink line. We did DTD last night and I noticed that there was certainly no need for preseed:giggle2: but it was slightly creamy and kinda wet. My temp this morning is very low, but DD woke up at 5am, I got up and brought her to bed but couldn't go back to sleep before the alarm went off at 6 to temp. Should I discard it?? The 2 temps before were taken an hour later than normal as well but I adjusted them. Anyone want to peek at both my charts?

That's true. Apparently this book is a bible for women from what I've been hearing, so it can't hurt to give it a shot I suppose. I'll probably forget to temp and chart some stuff, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually!
I still don't know if I want to test while I'm in the middle of work! If it's a BFP, all I'll want to do is tell DH, and he's sleeping 'cause he works at 6pm! I think I'll at least wait until I get home tonight!

Look at the bright side... if it's BFP then :yay: it's your turn finally!
If it's a BFN... then you can read TCOYF, and start charting your temps and paying attention to your CM and all that fun stuff, and become obsessed on here like we all are!

I don't know about a bible... but it sure helped me understand a LOT. And the temping is easy to get used to, especially if you keep it right next to your bed, that way you see it as soon as you wake up. And I enter it into FF on my blackberry first thing, so I'm not running around looking for a scrap of paper (like I was the first couple times I did it)
I just want you to take it today.. if it's at lunch, during work this afternoon, or when you get home. Just make sure to hold some pee beforehand :goodvibes:

Well obviously FF did have my O date wrong. My temp has dropped and been low for like 4 or 5 days now but no AF. Just by chance yesterday I thought *maybe just *maybe FF was wrong and maybe my temp was low because I possibly could be gearing up to O. I thought about trying another OPK and this is what I got.
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x23/BlessedMama_photos/8-17OPKs002.jpg
So maybe I will O afterall. Todays looks like CD 26 for me.

It looks a little light to me though.. but I say keep taking them and see if they get darker.
ETA - I looked at your chart, and that dip on CD 10 looks more like a fluke that I would disregard with the "rule of thumb" than a pre-ovulatory dip, kwim? All the rest of your temps have all been around the same.. I think you are gearing up to O soon. Keep taking the tests!!! I bet we see your temps shoot up in a couple days.

negative OPK
so pro OPK testers.. today is day 10... FF says possible O on day 14
how often should I test?
it seems your question was never answered :goodvibes:
starting CD 10 you can test twice a day...I liked 10am and 4pm. Or honestly, to save tests, I would not bother until your CM changed to watery or ewcm.

Not that I know of, how do they test? I have had so much female stuff done in my life I can't keep it all straight. I do know I have ask them about it many many times because I have lots of the signs of it. I had never heard of it until 8 years ago when a friend of mine told me she had it. Since I have lots of the symptoms I started questioning the 2 OBs I use and they say no I'm fine. :banghead: I know they have ran all sorts of tests in the past and everything they have ever checked for has came back normal. I wonder if PCOS was ever one of them.

What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic (pah-lee-SIS-tik) ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, ability to have children, hormones, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. With PCOS, women typically have:
high levels of androgens (AN-druh-junz). These are sometimes called male hormones, although females also make them.
missed or irregular periods
many small cysts (sists) in their ovaries. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs.

that looks *almost* positive...i bet if you try later like 8pm, or tomorrow around noon it will be really dark...either way, time to get busy:giggle2:

I'm not sure how they test sorry! But I know that one of the symptoms is getting tons of false positives on opks rendering them useless. Jenna used to tell me they were pretty much always "almost" positive one day then neg the next...repeat cycle over and over..yet she wouldn't O. That's what made me suggest you strictly go by temps and CM just in case this was your issue.

the do a transvaginal us. and check your ovaries. i had it done, but don't have it.
yeah temps and cm will defiantly tell you a lot. most people with pcos have abnormally long cycles, irregular cycles, and annovulatory cycles.

AFM-cd6, temping this cycle. I notice some don't start to temp till after AF has gone, is that better? I noticed cd5 and cd6 were the same temp, and cd3 and 4 were lower...I'm on ff but didn't get the VIP membership yet..if no bfp this month, maybe next month i'll pay for it. Not sure how to share chart if not VIP
You can temp during AF, but I don't think it really makes a difference. You can share your chart if you don't have a VIP membership. On the left of the page go to "sharing" and then "home page setup." Once you set it up, you can get a URL to link! HTH! :thumbsup:
AFM: CD3 here. I will say, it's been so long since I've had to deal with AF (4 years now) that I've forgotten how miserable she is! :yuck: Oh, and I'm on the list twice. I shouldn't be under the "TEST" section, although that's where my chart is linked. :goodvibes: Thanks!

I've had 2 faint lines on FRER during the weekend and I've had 5 faint lines with $tree and 1 darker line that I posted yesterday all within time limit.
I'm either completely nuts or am having a chemical pregnancy (I've never had one before so I don't know exactly what it is).
I've been feeling very crampy (af crampy that is) since this morning so my guess is I'm out for this cycle. I'll test again with fmu tomorrow but that will be my last test untill AF returns.

I'm sure they will do it to confirm no O, and they will tell me to do Prometrium again and up my Clomid. I think I may TAB after this month. It's just getting to be too much.

I just went to the restroom and I totally have EWCM right now. Is it common to get that after you O? My OPK from yesterday was neg while the one from Sunday was Pos...which means I must've already O'd. What does everyone think???
I usually have fertile cm the day after O as well.:thumbsup:
negative OPK
so pro OPK testers.. today is day 10... FF says possible O on day 14
how often should I test?
ITA with Heather..... twice a day till BFP!
Ok chart experts...some help please??
My body is confusing me. It is like my temps, CM and C position are not telling the same story. My cycles run from 24-28 days with the most common length being 26. I am on CD16 today but I thought my CM was looking ovulation Sat and Sun. I do think I have thick "hostile CM" often so I have been taking expectorant to help with that this cycle. I had to do that to get DS last time too. But then today I expected a temp spike and no spike. Also I woke to find my cervix high and soft. HHMMMM?? We DTD The last three days in case with a lube called conceive that is supposed to work like preseed. I only just learned about inserting it with an aplicater (thanks to you ladies!!) so I did that last night. But today despite a deposit from DH and the lube it is pretty dry in there. So confused! I know from last time thet I tend to have an LP of 11-12days, so I would expect to ov today or tomorrow at the latest. So where is the EWCM?? It came and went already. Why is my cervix high now? And hello temp spike where are you?? I wish these three symptoms could get together and tell me one story!:headscratch:
:hugs: my last cycle was like that....... I had ewcm, but bfn opk's and my cervix never made it to SHO.
Well obviously FF did have my O date wrong. My temp has dropped and been low for like 4 or 5 days now but no AF. Just by chance yesterday I thought *maybe just *maybe FF was wrong and maybe my temp was low because I possibly could be gearing up to O. I thought about trying another OPK and this is what I got.
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x23/BlessedMama_photos/8-17OPKs002.jpg
So maybe I will O afterall. Todays looks like CD 26 for me.
:lostit: go catch that eggy!
Could you please move me to CD 3 ? I'll be taking soy today, to see if I can get it right this time... Thanks!:thumbsup:
GL with the soy mama!
Move me to 1 dpo in the 2 ww for tomorrow.Thanks I felt my ovary pop this am and my first opk of the day @ 10:45am was bfp.
My 3:00pm opks fading back to nice bfn's now.:lostit:
Cant chat long,dd woke us up at 3:30 am,she's sick w/ a wicked stomach bug.:cry: I think things are settled down now and we'll sneak in a very quick bd when dh comes home tonight @ 5:15-5:30pm.
Pray it works out--if not I just have to have faith that all the bd we did Saterday--Sunday was enough.I'd had o cramping and pains since last Thursday--so I'm just glad to be in my 2ww.
If we dont catch it this month due to timeing,dd being sick etc..we'll just have to try again the next cycle.
We've definitly timed this well for concieving a girl.Well see.
SS about DD Char. I hope she gets better soon. Yay for O though!!!! Come on May 2010!!!
Alright well I've tested with FRER after holding it for more than 6 hours and having next to nothing to drink and it's stark white.
I've had 2 faint lines on FRER during the weekend and I've had 5 faint lines with $tree and 1 darker line that I posted yesterday all within time limit.
I'm either completely nuts or am having a chemical pregnancy (I've never had one before so I don't know exactly what it is).
I've been feeling very crampy (af crampy that is) since this morning so my guess is I'm out for this cycle. I'll test again with fmu tomorrow but that will be my last test untill AF returns.
I knew my chances of being pregnant this month were slim so why am I so sad :cry:
:hugs: I'm so sorry.
Hey ladies!
:bighug: for everyone with AF or BFNs.
Charlotte- Yay for O!!! I'm praying you catch that egg!!!
AFM CD 17 and still no signs of O. :gloomy: I tried to call my OBs office to ask what to do about the progesterone level, but I called after they closed. I will call again tomorrow. I'm sure they will do it to confirm no O, and they will tell me to do Prometrium again and up my Clomid. I think I may TAB after this month. It's just getting to be too much. I'm too stressed and obsessed. Maybe it would make TTC fun again:giggle:
:hugs: you aren't allowed to TAB yet lady. Try a higher does of clomid next cycle and see what happens. However you aren't out of the game yet, kwim. You could still O this cycle.
AFM- 5 dpo and had a temp dip..... seem to have those at 5 dpo when I get pg. Here's hoping!

LoL Sounds good! Only 45 minutes left until home time! I'll wait to POAS until you get there. I'll probably be too busy anyways. I have to pick up my bridesmaid dress right after work, then go home and have supper made for DH before he leaves for work at 6pm. I'm not sure I'm going to like this part of the shiftwork! Thank god it's only for 2 days in a row and then I get him to myself for 4 days!!! :giggle2:
*~Melissa~*
08-18-2009, 03:23 PM
I didn't O until CD 18 or 19... give it a little bit, hun :hugs:
Thanks for the hugs. I took Clomid this month in hopes of fixing my late/nonexistent Os and LPD. Clomid is supposed to make you O 5-7 days after the last pill and I took it days 3-7. I'm just bummed that it didn't fix my problem.
JenV- Yay for a dip! :yay:You know I'm rooting for you!!! I may TAB. I'm just way too stressed over this. I know I could still O, but if the Clomid didn't make me O sooner, I'm afraid it won't fix the LPD.

Ok here are my OPK progression pics. They start out top to bottom yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening, early this afternoon and then the bottom was just a tad bit ago. I bet I caught the tail end of the surge yesterday. Oh how I wish I had started using my OPKs earlier but I had no idea I was about to O. I thought I was waiting on AF thanks to FF. :banghead: Now I get to go through the 2ww all over again. :giggle:

have you missed af?! a chemical is when you get a bfp and are only a few days late for your period to start. :( i had one back in may, it felt no different than a regular af, just that i had a bfp and then i had a neg blood test. :( i really hope they were just evaps or antibody strips mama. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

:hugs: :hugs: :hugs: I really think there has to be a glitch with some of the FRERs right now too. I had a couple very faint BFPs recently and I had not even Od. I have also had $Tree and some from a different $ store do the same thing. I thought they were evaps but they came up in the timeframe.
looks good to me...isnt' it as long as part of the line is as dark or darker then the control then it's + ?
Yes I emailed Babywishes where the OPKs came from and they say they are +. If any part of the line is as dark or darker than the control it is considered + on their tests. IRL it was much more obvious that it was darker than the control. I had just thought I had seen a + one before but when I saw this one I could tell the difference. :pray: for a temp rise tomorrow.

I know what you mean. Going by this insert with the OPKs I should O within 8-48hours of getting my + one. So I guess I should O anytime between yesterday and tomorrow. Maybe I am Oing now or am about to. We did BD the past 2 days and dh will be home tonight too so I should be good.

that's what progesterone is for! If your progesterone is low at 7 dpo then you can go on supps! If it isn' tin time for this cycle you'll know for the next one. I'm gently urging you too keep trying for at least one more cycle since you really JUST now started figureing out what the issues are. :hugs:
JenV- I will be stalking your chart! 5 dpo sounds like a good time for implantation!
AFM- 8 dpo, feeling super weird. I don't want to get my hopes up though.
:giggle2: Isn't 5 dpo too early for implantaion? I thought it was usually between 7-10 dpo. Is there some other theory behind the 5 dpo dip? I see it alot on charts around here. KMFC that your weird feelings turn into MS soon :thumbsup: !

Wow, you ladies know how to talk. :mrgreen:
I asked a few days ago with no response, I am sure it is easy for questions to get swallowed up in all this chatter. Does anyone know if soy isoflavones should be done only one cycle every so often? I thought I read somewhere that it can negatively affect your cycle if you take it beyond two or three months. :headscratch:

eta - Soy Info..
-40mg tabs of Soy Isoflavons
-No more then 5 days per cycle (can cause infertility after that)
-No more then 200mg per day!!
-Take Soy Isoflavones, like Clomid, on CD 1-5, or 2-6, or 3-7, or 4-8, or 5-9.
-Seems to help when people start low and then up the dose the
last 2 days of it.
(Heres some info found on the web about soy AND FF)
"Soy Isoflavones" is a natural plant derived phytoestrogen (phyto means plant), which is an anti-estrogen, just like Clomid. Both are known as SERMs (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators). It works by fooling your brain into thinking its estrogen levels are low. This causes your body to reslease more FSH & LH which helps stimulate follicle production (same as Clomid). You take Soy Isoflavones, like Clomid, on CD 1-5, or 2-6, or 3-7, or 4-8, or 5-9. It is not thought to cause infertility if it is only taken for 5 days a month. There is not much published information available on it regarding TTC, because it is "natural", not patented by the pharmaceutical companies, and not FDA approved. Most doctors will also not recommend it for this reason.
Recently, many women on FertilityFriend.com have been taking 150-160mg a day for 5 days at the beginning of the menstrual cycle (on days previously mentioned). Side effects reported are similar to Clomid. These vary from increased number of headaches to hot flashes. It has been suggested that taking the dosage before bedtime lessens the side effects.
I was doing some research on FertilityFriend.com to uncover just how many girls have recently conceived while on Soy Isoflavones and what days they took the supplement. I found a girl who took it on CD 1-5, 200mg Soy Isoflavones, and she got a strong BFP at 15dpo that cycle. Her chart can be viewed here. Her HCG levels at 15dpo were 443 and at 18dpo HCG 1,347. Impressive. I found a survey on FF that was interesting as well:
How many cycles of Soy did it take you to get a BFP?
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/krysperz/soybfp.gif
What was interesting is that 75% of the women who tried Soy Isoflavones got a BFP in their FIRST cycle trying. I checked the survey more recently and the number has jumped to 77% since I took the screenshot.
While Soy Isoflavones can help bring on an earlier or stronger Ovulation for these women, I must note that in some women it did not help at all. Just like Clomid doesn't always work for everyone. Right now there are a lot more women trying Soy Isoflavones so I will continue to monitor their progress and report back any news I find.
You can buy a bottle of Soy Isoflavones at any health food store.

Lol maybe you are right... I had a dip at 6 dpo, but I have a dip pretty much every cycle. I read on one of those FF tidbits that they are more common in pregnancy charts though! And I don't think 5 dpo is too early... maybe you just have a little sprinter bean.

Wowzas, this thread is crazy today! I don't have time to do too many persies....so :bighug: to all the AFs and BFNs.
Jen - So good to see you back! I missed you so much! :bighug: Sorry the witch showed but it sounds like an awesome vacation! Now we just have to get knocked up together so we can hop on over to the May board! :yay:
AFM - BIG fight with DH last night. Horrible. :yuck: But we talked afterwards and he apologized and so did I and it seems things are back on track. He just gets so stressed out sometimes and I feel like he takes it all out on me. Than man needs a chill pill :chill:
Oh, and we tried out the preseed last night. We both really like it. It feels so...natural. Not all sticky and gross like other lubes. If DH didn't know I put it in, I don't think he would have noticed. :giggle:
Yeah, AF showing up the day before our 1 yr. anniversary was kinda lame....but on a high note, dh is REALLY into trying to make this cycle THE cycle. That's a nice change from the "if it happens, it happens" bs he talks about. :giggle: Silly man.
:hugs: Sorry to hear dh and you got in a big fight. Matt and I rarely fight, but when we do it's because he's stressed about work. And it's always over really stupid things. Eh. Fighting every once in a while is good for your relationship. :hugs:
Oooh, thanks for reminding me that I need to order some preseed! :lostit:
Does anyone know if soy isoflavones should be done only one cycle every so often? I thought I read somewhere that it can negatively affect your cycle if you take it beyond two or three months. :headscratch:
Soy should be broken up every few months, but doesn't have as much of a negative effect on the body like clomid does if taken for a certain amount of cycles.
On the other hand, soy can induce O'ing earlier....but, like in my case, it can delay O'ing. I ended up O'ing 2-3 days before the day AF would have normally been due. :banghead: Granted, that would have been nice to know so dh and I could have BD'd up a storm. Oh well. On to May babies!! :)
-No more then 200mg per day!!
You can buy a bottle of Soy Isoflavones at any health food store.

I've heard up to 400mg a day?? FWIW, I took 200mg. Definitely get them at Wal-Mart. Waaaaay cheaper than a Walgreens and such.

Ok here are my OPK progression pics. They start out top to bottom yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening, early this afternoon and then the bottom was just a tad bit ago. I bet I caught the tail end of the surge yesterday. Oh how I wish I had started using my OPKs earlier but I had no idea I was about to O. I thought I was waiting on AF thanks to FF. :banghead: Now I get to go through the 2ww all over again. :giggle:

Hmm. I keep looking at them but don't see any smiley faces?? :headscratch: :giggle: Duuuuuuude. I thought we talked about this?!? :giggle2: Actually, that top one looks positive to me. Then again, I had the same type of result and clearly it wasn't actually positive. :banghead: Just keep BDing just in case!

Lol maybe you are right... I had a dip at 6 dpo, but I have a dip pretty much every cycle. I read on one of those FF tidbits that they are more common in pregnancy charts though! And I don't think 5 dpo is too early... maybe you just have a little sprinter bean.
:giggle2: little sprinter bean.

I went to the doctor today. Not my normal doctor or my RE, but just a doctor. We live in a small town, so I know all of them so it was no big deal. Urine test was neg. Then he examined me and said that "something must be going on in there". He listened to all the symptoms I am having--the nausea, sore breasts, cravings, headache and dizziness, etc. He agreed it all sounded like a baby doing this. He sent me for a blood serum. Those results came back negative! What in the world! Could it be at 14 dpo that I am not registering with a blood test? What is the most dpo that you all have still been testing neg but really were preg. I feel like I am--right down to the rubbing of the tummy--which by the way has gotten bigger. ( I got HUGE right away with my son too--I think it must run in the family).

Hippiemama~Your top opk is definitly BFP(I use these almost exclusivly)You've caught the tail edge of your surge.GL w/ bd tonight.:thumbsup:
You can also start to surge overnight--I've done that before,thus only catching a short surge the following day on my first opk test of the day and by afternoon it's fading back to bfn.
JenV~:lostit: For your temp dip.(implantation dip!) My fingers are crossed hard for you--that this is your month and it's a super sticky one.
Melissa~Please dont give up,you are still in the game my friend.Rachael and I think Jenna od a bit later on Clomid.Hang in there.I know I remember Rachael saying that her dd Lor was a cd#23 baby(she o'd on cd#23 or somthing like that,yet she took her Clomid on cd#3-7)
You've just started on this Clomid journey! I'm crossing my fingers for you.:thumbsup: :hugs:
Dh and I despite being absolutly exhausted from being up w/ dd since 3:00am ,managed a quickie when he got home this evening.:lostit: Thank you dear Lord! Dd vegged out w/ a Disney movie.she dozed on and off due to being sick.
I felt half quilty--but we were quick and she was ok.
Got done and she came in while I was laying down afterward and we snuggled until I had to cook a late dinner.
Luckily dh was ok w/ eggs over easy,toast and oj.Ds wanted spaghetti o's and I had a salad w/ leftover chicken on top and a yogurt.Dd just wanted her gaterade.
That's all she's wanted,that and water.
Thought she was done getting sick--:yuck: :banghead: Poor baby was sick after we got up from snuggling,before I had to cook.
At least she was easily cleaned up and THANK GOD we dont have carpeting.
Pray this blows over quickly and no one else gets it.I put her in Goodnight pants because she cant stop pooping.:yuck: Luckily I had some leftover from when she had rotavirus.NOW that was bad.

Hi ladies! :bliss:
Took an OPK today when I got home...BFN....so I think I caught the beginning of the surge yesterday afternoon when it was almost BFP. :yay: We BDed and used Preseed last night, and probably will again tonight too. I really hope this is our month!
Due date according to LMP and an average 31 day cycle is April 21, 2010!!!
Please move her to Buddha Bellies!
That has to be the darkest BFP I have seen! Wahoooooo! CONGRATS!! :lostit:

Ummm Duuuuude do you know much those flippin smilie faces cost?????? I *WAS* planning to get some but quickly changed my mind. It would clearly cost me $48,579,836,475 each cycle to use those. I will watch my temps the next few days and see how this .30 line plays out.:giggle2:
And OMG I am soooooooo happy you are back! I've missed you like crazy!! Hope you had a blast. I have been without internet for a couple of days so I missed your return.

:roflmbo: Umm...yeah. Same reason I haven't bought any yet. Well, that and the fact that I am about 2 weeks away from even starting to test. I'm thinking I'll get a pack and just use $Tree tests until they start looking positive. :thumbsup:
I dunno, if I squint I can see it....but....test again with FMU ok?
:werd: Actually, Jenna has a point. Not to piss on your cornflakes...but...another test to back up this test would be ideal.

I was just looking at FF, and it has AF showing up on my birthday. I do believe getting a BFP would be quite the nice birthday present. :mrgreen: Plus, I told dh that a BFP was what I wanted for my birthday after bringing him to meet the Hillstrand brothers (fair trade, right? :giggle:).
Annnd, I checked EDD if I got pregnant this cycle, and it'd be my brother's birthday.
:eek: I told myself I wasn't going to be as obsessed this cycle. :rofl: So much for that idea!

Ok so I have a weird question. I had taken an antibiotic for a UTI and now I think I have a yeast infection. I got the one day Monistat stuff but I should be Oing today or tomorrowish if my OPK was correct. Should I wait to use it? Would it damage my eggo? Ugh and not like I want dh with a yeast infection or anything but I mean geeee I wait for EVER to O and then this happens. WWAAAHHHHHHH :banghead: What do you guys think? I wanna cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aerobebe1421
08-18-2009, 09:46 PM
:dunno: I've never had a yeast infection, so no clue. I would think it'd be okay though?? Isn't it just a one time thing? And it should only be killing off the yeast...or whatever it does (sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to yeast infections). I don't see why that'd hurt it?? Unless you mean the sperm...in which case, don't mind my rambles and hopefully someone informed can tell you. :hugs:
flutterbabies
08-18-2009, 09:48 PM
Better just dtd, and use the monistat tomorrow. Men are not as likely to have symptoms of yeast infection anyways, but if he does you can put some vagisil on him:giggle:

Ummm yeah I was worried about the sperm and the eggie being damaged by the chemicals in the monistat. Not sure what it would do but I didn't want to do anything that may mess up anything.

:giggle2: Ok so maybe that is what that tube they put in the box was for huh. The little pill thingie and inserter for me and the tube of cream for him. Ahhh how thoughtful of the Monistat makers, a His and Hers kit. :roflmbo:

I wouldn't use it to be honest. Why take the chance? I'd go for a good dose of live acidophilus (at any walmart/pharmacy/gnc)...pretty cheap and highly effective against many types of yeast....it's what's in yogurt that helps prevent/treat minor infections....OR I would ask my GYN/OB to call in some diflucan (fluconazol-sp?)

Ok I'm actually up and I'm gonna go work out. I've been playing with both my charts this morning. I took out all the ferning results on FF and just going by CM and temp. I did delete yesterdays temp too. FF said I peaked on Sat but still waiting for the thermal shift. TCOYF software I left the ferning in and it says I am 8DPO. I am going to watch the temps and wait the full two weeks and if AF is a no show will test but I don't want to see any BFN's anymore right now. Gonna keep on DTD until something is confirmed though. lol . Oh yeah Good morning!!

Not to steal crzydrgn's thunder.. but I'm feeling majorly nausous and ugghh the last 2 days... :crossfingers:
Hope you get a BFP....it would be so cool for you to be pregnant at the same time as you BFF. I was pregnant at the same time as my sister with DS#3....here's what all our conversations sounded like:

actually from what i read online the pill is what you should definitely NOT use if you're trying to get or are pg. the creams are completely safe whilst pg. ask me how i know :giggle: i agree though that good old yogurt inserted works fine too but takes longer imo.
