ANNND, I received my crosshairs today ... BUT since I was on a monitored cycle this month, I already knew when I OVed π€¦ββοΈ SOOOOOO this was NBD to see. It was kinda interesting to see if FF would accurately mark my OV date, though.
Non-symptoms: cramps at 3 dpo (weird!), chin acne started at OV and is calming down now, stuffy nose.
I am learning that my usual is now becoming my "irregular," and no symptom is off-limits. π€π€£Next cycle will be a blast with the side effects of the Follistim, Ovidrel, and Crinone!

@Kaohinani: Iβll keep testing but my expectations are low. After 3 failed cycles, Iβm just getting used to the disappointment. Itβs ok. Plan to request a sit down consultation visit with my RE after our beta to discuss a change in our game plan before we head into cycles 5&6 with our last two embryos.
On the bright side, the formal was fun, but another girl (I can say that because I think sheβs 15 years younger than me) was wearing my same dress!
-
@yellowbeach: gah, I came on just hoping to see a Bfp from you, sorry itβs negative today
-
@yellowbeach: You look GORGEOUS! π€© (I hope you didn't wear that heart on your face all evening.
As far as revisiting your TTC plan with your RE, that sounds good. You know your body, your expectations, and what you can or cannot handle both emotionally and financially. I think having a sit down with him (?) may be just what the doctor ordered (pun intended, sorry, couldn't resist.
-
@Kaohinani: To clarify, the doc in my dream seemed sure I didn't understand human speech at all, not just English. Such fun!
Annnnd we're cycle buddies again! FF didn't like that I got a head start and changed it's mind about O. It's 3dpo again today. I'll add my chart.
@yellowbeach: Wow, you look amazing!
-
@paranundrum: Wow, in that case, the physician in your dream was a verified dirt-bag! π€¬π€£
Yay! I love having you as my cycle-buddy! Will your POAS date remain the same?
-
@Kaohinani: I love it too, it's great to have a same dpo comparison. And yes, I'll keep the date. The 24th is 14dpo, I don't think I'll get that far, but that's the goal.
-
@yellowbeach: boooo! Maybe it's too soon π€
That dress looks amazing though!
@Kaohinani: the timeline I'm confused by is my fT3 & fT4 always comes back together π€·ββοΈ
AFM: I had a scant amount of EWCM yesterday, but all negative OPKs for days, like not even close. Yet my temp dipped and jumped (but not high enough to clear the rest of the FP temps.
-
@Sams Mom: EWCM can begin 2-3 days before OV. Also, some surges don't show as blazing positives. This cycle, mine were "near pos" but my CM was getting watery and my cervix was getting harder to reach so I took it as I was having a "weak" OV ... BBT and U/S monitoring kept me positive that I was "almost there" if not there and my hormone panels verified what my CM and BBT alerted me to. My advice - Keep testing. OPKs aren't foolproof.
-
@Kaohinani: that's the weird thing, I ALWAYS have EWCM a few days before I get my + OPK. This time I had barely any and it was yesterday only, but my temp is weird for my normal too. π€·ββοΈ
This is my OPK from yesterday, haven't had the chance to take one today; but normal would be another 2-3 days until a +
-
@Sams Mom: Fakeout - I thought that was a pregnancy test for a sec cause it's pink. Damn.
-
@yellowbeach: I'm sorry
-
@Sams Mom: Test today!
@Yellowbeach: I know, seriously, I saw it and my eyes bugged out and I got all excited for a minute until I saw the tiny "LHs!" ... and then read Sam's Mom's post.
-
@Sams Mom: Any update on the OPK front?
-
@Kaohinani: nothing noticeable really (not that you don't already know this). π€·ββοΈ
@yellowbeach: @Kaohinani: the funny thing is Pregmate's HPT is blue (but pink dye), it's weird.
-
4 dpo - BBT still on the rise. Non-symptoms: mildly crampy and burning nipples all morning (WTH?). My hormones must be all a-funk this cycle. π€·ββοΈπ€£
-
Tested this morning at 9 or 10 dpo
I'm not surprised but it still sucks when I had more hope for this cycle
-
@mrskansas: o boo! I hate hate hate when a cycle with new protocol doesn't pan out. I'm sorry βΉοΈ
-
AFM I'm feeling better that I didn't miss O with my husband's ridiculous work schedule as of late. Just had a weird dip, attempted O maybe?
-
@Kaohinani: I, on the other hand, had an impressive dip this morning.
-
@mrskansas: I'm sorry to read that. Statistically, the majority of first BFPs are seen around 12.5 dpo. (*
@Sams Mom: Keep with the BD-ing, lady ... I'm hoping to see a nice spike from you in the next couple days.
@Paranundrum: That is an impressive dip! Perhaps a fallback rise thermal shift (estrogen level is still dropping after the LH level has dropped, and the progesterone levels have not risen high enough to push the temperature up as high as it will go), a corpus luteum dip or a very early ID? I can't wait to see what they do tomorrow!
-
@Kaohinani: thank God hubby is off tonight and I think tomorrow night π€ because the rate we're going the police department is acting like a cockblock

@Sams Mom: Hahaha.

@honey786: welcome to the crazy board
How old is baby #1, because I'm nosey 
I am kind of doing the exploring job options thing too. I'm not being laid off at the moment, but from the looks of the industry I work in, things will get tight and I'm the easiest person to absorb/can find comparable pay and employment easier than others.
Best of luck!
-
@KAOHINANI Thanks!! @Sams Mom: my DD will be 19mo soon!
-
@Kaohinani: you can change my POAS to Jan 25 based on a better estimate of O now that I'm past CD9 w/o O
-
@honey786: awww, I would love another boy or a girl whichever, BUT the little girl clothes are so stinking cute! I want to buy all of them.
-
@Sams Mom: I would be happy either way too. I would love to reuse all my girl stuff!! Or most of it, seasonal stuff may be off based on when the baby decides to arrive.
-
@Sams Mom: Annnd, you are now on the board as a 1/25 POAS-er.
π€P.S. If I EVER have a #3 (and it's a girl), I will allow you to buy me whatever you want since ALL of DD's baby clothes are outdated (11 years is a lonnnng time).
... I hope you know, I am absolutely J/jk. -
Joining late!
Cycle Day: 18 (but my cycles are long 30-36days)
β’ TTC Cycle: #1
β’ Ovulation Date: probably 1/16?
β’ POAS Date: 1/30
β’ Baby #: 2. DS is 16 monthsIβve been taking OPKs for a few days. Thereβs always a second line, but itβs been the same shade for several days. Definitely not as dark as the control line, though. Hopefully Iβll get a positive in the next few days. When I used OPKs to conceive my son I remember a perfect progression in line darkness. Weβll see! DH is out of town the next few days so hopefully I wonβt ovulate until Wednesday when heβs back.
