Wow, the board was rocking with comments yesterday and last night (when I was busy or asleep) but super dead this morning
... I'm starting to believe everyone avoids the board when I'm on. π

@Paranundrum: How are your BBTs today?
-
@Kaohinani: No not you - I know When I work a day shift I am lucky if I am read posts nevertheless reply and respond to everyoneβs posts. So I tend to save them for the evening. But I am usually at least reading during the day. #donttellmyboss
@SamsMom: Iβm glad Iβm not the only one who talks about my POAS girls with DHlike I do my bestie.
-
@yellowbeach: Thanks!
I was half joking and half serious [with the irony that no one is ever on when I am] -
@Kaohinani:
-
@Sams Mom: Gotcha! I figured that was what it was, (That is why I asked if it has anything to do with a "coochie" catcher. π€£), but didn't want to place any bets on it.
-
My analytical and extremely curious mind is at work again. π€―
How often do you click your mouse (MB)? ... And, do you notice the frequency changes during different stages of your cycle or if you are BD-ing like a fiend?
These questions were prompted from Sam's Mom's comment about "flicking the bean" and Yellowbeach's comment the other day about sexual self-indulgence.
-
@Kaohinani: My chart is pretty jaggedy this month and the temps overall are on the low end, but are not falling yet. It's 9dpo.
I feel like I miss half the fun too and it's a bit lonely when I'm at work in the morning and it's 9am in my time zone (GMT+2) and I know nobody will be online for hours. But hey, nobody forced me to become part of a community where everyone else is about 7 to 9 time zones away.
-
Hello everyone! Sadly bad news over here. My first beta was only 12 yesterday. And this morning the test is essentially back to a squinter (lighter than yesterday) so itβs definitely a no go.
Iβll still be cheering the rest of you π€ -
@fuzzypeaches: Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that.
-
Thanks for all the support
-
@fuzzypeaches: Iβm so sorry. I know what a roller coaster this all is, and I hate you are going through it again. Hugs.
-
@Kaohinani: I'll play
-
@fuzzypeaches: are you doing repeat betas? I am the eternal optimist, and just because a test is lighter day to day doesn't mean you're out.
I hope you're not out
But if that's what happens, I am sorry
-
@fuzzypeaches: I'm so truly sorry to read of your low HCG levels.
Thank you for always being an amazing cheerleader.@Paranundrum: You chart looks really good and I'm super excited that you've made it to 9 dpo with high temps and no spotting. I'm hoping THIS cycle turns into you BFP!
π€@Sams Mom: Thank you for responding. I find I'm most receptive a few days after AF ends, intermittently during OV and the days counting up to it (probably because I'm marathon BD-ing with DH), and less interested with both intercourse or manual stimulation during the TWW (probably because I'm sore and because the TWW stresses me the eff out! π€£
-
@fuzzypeaches: Ugh. I'm so sorry. I don't know if you'll feel the same, but I have felt like the earlier the chemical ends, the easier it is for me to deal with emotionally.
-
@paranundrum: it looks good still, and that's great there is no spotting!
I'm still hoping this is the "I was about to see a doctor, but ended up pregnant" month.
-
@fuzzypeaches: I'm sorry
-
what tests from Amazon does everyone recommend? I refuse to buy FRER anymore. BFNs look even more white on those and they are expensive.
-
Just got done working with a client and had to check HB.
While waiting for her, I was reading up on follicle and ova development and found an interesting article (* I know, it is not a scholarly journal entry or a study ... I must be slipping! π€£). The article is on the corpus luteum, development, defect, and what it means for a woman's cycle. Of most interest to me was that it mentioned infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and thyroid disorders (including low thyroid production, Hashimoto's, and iodine disorder). Most of us have one or two of all three SO I thought I'd share:https://www.healthline.com/health/womens-health/corpus-luteum
-
@mrskansas: I like the Pregmate ones. They are wider, which makes squinters easier AND it's easier to decipher varying levels of darkness on OPKs.
-
@Kaohinani: reading this when I get a chance
-
@Sams Mom: yes will do another beta on Saturday to confirm.
@Kaohinani: yes I was using frer in AM and dollar store in PM (lol!) I think Iβll just stop testing now and hope AF comes ASAP.@Chuckles: thatβs definitely true. This was definitely the quickest determination I have had! The other two chemicals I have had both were pos on digital and didnβt resolve completelyuntil almost 5w.
This way I can just get back to the things that make me feel better (crazy exercise and wine of course
-
@mrskansas: have you tried dollar store?! They are clearly picking up as early as frer for me and I find easier to read! Iβve never had an evap If I read during time period (but find Evaps occur even at 15min or so so need to watch the clock for sure)
-
@mrskansas: If I am not using FRER, I use the following HPTs:
Sure Predict strip (10 miu), One Step strip (10 miu), and OSOM cartridge (10 miu for blood serum, 20 miu for urine). I will include links.β’ Sure predict-

@fuzzypeaches: Crazy exercise
-
@Sams Mom:
-
@Kaohinani: thanks! I ordered the Sure Predict ones.
I'm 7 dpo today and they will be delivered Sunday (9 DPO)
-
@mrskansas: Awesome!
P.S. What day are you going to test? 9 or 10 dpo?
-
@Sams Mom: @Yellowbeach: and @Paranundrum: I forgot to post my chart earlier. You are my chart buddies so, here goes:
I know every cycle is a new chance, but considering decent early temps, the timing of the oops and the fact I had been on gonadotropins, what do you think the chances are for a BFP this cycle (beyond the 50-50 yes/no)? I'm unable to find statistics for all 3 variables (high post ov temps, day of intercourse, AND the use of a gonadotropin without trigger).
-
@Kaohinani: Not sure, but in 2 days when you've hit triphasic, I'm going to apologize in advance for all the hinting at peeing on a stick I will be dropping.
-
@Kaohinani: To be completely honest, I'm sure I'll test Sunday at 9 DPO even though out of four pregnancies I've never seen a + that early.
-
@Sams Mom: Thank you for the warning! π€ I will forgive you for the harassment in advance.
@mrskansas: 9 dpo isn't too bad for testing.
-
@Kaohinani: late chart share too. I think TD will adjust me up for today's temp. I had a negative OPK, CM is drying up...
-
@Sams Mom: Very exciting!
-
@Kaohinani: I don't think I'll pee on a stick until 8 dpo, 7 is early for even me
-
@Sams Mom: So, I'll change you to the 23rd.

Probably not 100% accurate, but, for the ladies 10 and + days dpo, this "probability of pregnancy calculator" is fun to do. I find myself playing with Countdown to Pregnancy calculators every cycle during the TWW becauseπ€, yeah, just because! π€ͺπ€£

-
@Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: Thanks! We'll see pretty soon. I should start spotting (or not, if I'm lucky) on Monday at the very latest, probably tomorrow or Sunday, if this cycle is similar to all my previous ones.
(October mama)
Good luck, ladies!
