    @yellowbeach: Thanks. I doze off around 9 PM most nights (soooooooo sad) and wake at the crack of dawn. (I swear, I'm geriatric... I even like brunch and early suppers. Lol.πŸ‘΅) Anyway, I end up reading all of the convos the ladies had while I was catching my Zzz's 😴 at 4:30 - 5 am. I can commiserate with the feeling of the TWW driving one mad πŸ€ͺ. I'm two hats 🎩🧒 shy of becoming "Mad Hatter crazy" during this LOOONG nearly symptomless TWW. Ugh.

    @Kaohinani: Hopefully triphasic is a good sign this month!

    @Jessiemuller88: Welcome back!

    Here's my chart for the day. Temp is still going up but that may have something to do with the three glasses of wine I had last night...

    On the bright side - if I'm not pregnant this month DH and I decided we're going to plan a last minute trip to NYC for our 5th anniversary. At least I'll have something to look forward to if I don't get a BFP!

    Your chart looks phenomenal (* wine consumption 🍾🍷 and all)! Hoping for good things to come! πŸ˜‰πŸ€ž

    @skinnycow: Ooh nice chart. Our first BFP around here perhaps??

    Although an older study (2007), I thought this may be of interest to some of you ladies:
    Happy reading! πŸ“–

    @Kaohinani: That chart is looking great!!! I'm cheering for sustained high temps and got everything crossed for you

    @yellowbeach: I'm glad your husband is as anxious and team pee on a stick as some of us are so you have a real life motivator in this

    @skinnycow: Your chart is looking great too!!! Bring on the BFPs for this month

    @Sam's Mom: How are your temps?

    I've been very chatty and "spicy"/kooky this morning. I think the 2WW has gotten to me. πŸ€ͺ

    @Kaohinani: Your chart looks amazing. Fingers crossed!

    My chart has me stumped somewhat. I'm not sure exactly what day I ovulated, I usually get a noticeable sharp spike but my temps on CD 10 and CD 11 are iffy. I think I *did* ovulate though as temps are generally rising, so starts the dreadfully long TWW...

    I have a GNO/MNO on Friday 9/21 and when our mom friends all get together (rare occasion), they like to DRINK! Maybe I should test that morning instead of the 18th, that's too early anyway with my delayed ovulation.

    @SupernovaJ: I think CD17 was the day. Give FF one more day (or even two) to confirm and give you your crosshairs on your chart. If we assume, CD 17, everything is looking on the up-and-up. πŸ‘πŸ˜‰

    Would you like me to change your POAS date to the 21st?

  17. Sams Mom

    grapefruit / 4492 posts

    @SupernovaJ: Based on your OPKs and temps I agree with Kaohinani, probably CD 17. I think you've covered a lot of the bases on your BDing

  18. Sams Mom

    grapefruit / 4492 posts

    @Kaohinani: They went back up and the two thermometers were pretty close. I had EWCM last night with a tinge of pink so I'm thinking O is today maybe or yesterday even? I still can't get a positive OPK to save me though.

    @Sams Mom: THAT temp 🌑 looks SOO much better! πŸ‘ I think you are back on track this month ... YAY! πŸ˜ƒπŸ€—πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ

    Soooooooo, assuming my HCG got down to 1 after last month's "thing that shall not be named," and, IF I were to have implanted on 7 dpo (during my dip), I shouldn't be upset that I'm cramping like a fiend with none of my usual AF symptoms and still pulling BFNs because; were I to get a BFP, earliest (FRER) would be on the 14th (12 dpo). A positive would be more likely on 13 dpo. A BFP isn't very likely since IDK if I began at 1 .... if my HCG was higher, I should have gotten 2 lines already. I'm still not very invested, but I'm not brooding over it at the moment.
    Check the chart:

    @Kaohinani: That chart is fun, where do you get this?

    And that bit about ~11+ months without a period is some BS! I EBFd and had my first PP period done and over with by my 6 week check up.

    @Sams Mom: I'm loaded with time busters during the 2WW. 🀣 (My "client with the runs" cancelled for tonight... I could hear she was having lunch out. πŸ™„πŸ€”πŸ€¨ AND my older client is home with a terrible cold [she is legit] 🀧). So bored and left to my own devices during the TWW!

    @Kaohinani: man I really don’t understand that chart 🀯

  25. Sams Mom

    grapefruit / 4492 posts

    @yellowbeach: The vertical is implantation day, the horizontal is your dpo/subsequent days after implantation. Each column is split into 2, the first being your hcg level with a 48 hour doubling period and the second is with a 72 hour doubling. So for us crazies it shows you how far out you would have to be to even get a positive... and maybe #savesometests. When you set up the graph it asks what you want your starting hcg to be (anything from 1-5).

    I am literally the only person in my office for the next 3 days, I'm only 3 hours in, and can tell this is going to be a long week.

    @Kaohinani: @Sams Mom: Thanks ladies for your input. I agree, I was thinking CD 17 might be it.

    Regarding the BD'ing, lordy that was rough, lol. I told DH he doesn't have to touch me for the next few weeks if he doesn't want to. BTW your chart--that's a huge spike! Looks like things are back on track. I really wonder if something was off with the thermometer or fluke reading. Either way exciting and we could be cycle twins.

    Yes please change POAS to 9/21. Thank you!

    @paranundrum: sorry you are out! Fingers crossed next month is your month!!

    @Kaohinani: @skinnycow: both your charts look great!

    @SupernovaJ: I’m betting CD17 too. And look at that BD schedule! πŸŽ‰

    AFM, super crampy and my boobs feel super full.

    @Kaohinani: Good! I was about to come comment that my friends that are out there with the Navy were finally released from their zone, so I doubt they want to bring anymore in.

    Thanks everyone! Nurse just called and level is 4, so negative! Hopefully the tiny spotting I have will turn into af and we can get this show on the road!

  35. Sams Mom

    @LAZB: YAY! (It does feel weird being excited about low HCG #s)

    Just for kicks here’s as far as I tracked my trigger out. I’d have to think it’s gone by now. Just afraid of a false positive.



  37. Sams Mom

    @yellowbeach: I would say you'd give yourself a headache looking for a line if you took one today that was left over trigger.

  38. Kaohinani

    grapefruit / 4144 posts

    @LAZB: Great news!!! πŸ‘πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽˆ

    @Yellowbeach: I think you'd be in the clear now, but just to be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, maybe wait until the 14th or 15th? #TeamYellowbeachBFP πŸ˜‰

    @Kaohinani @samsmom: I don’t have access to Sticks until Thursday at the earliest anyway. I can wait until Friday FMU.

    ETA: no access to FMU on Thursday (won’t be home yet) which is a good thing!

    So my ovulation tests aren't getting darker really maybe I will o the same time on femara as I do on Clomid, even with taking it CD 3-7
