So I was a roll over from October but AF came yesterday. I will most likely be out for this month if my cycle is like last month at 36 days, I will not be testing until the beginning of December.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: @NorCalWayfarer: @runnerd: Congrats ladies!!! Way to start off the month! I've been traveling since Wednesday, this thread has really taken off since then!
Funny story: we were visiting our Alma Mater this week and I snuck into the bookstore to sneakily buy some baby paraphernalia as a cute way to tell DH when I (hopefully someday) get a BFP. Sure enough I stupidly LEFT IT IN THE CAR WHERE DH FOUND IT. Go me. Way to 1) ruin that future surprise, and 2) disappoint DH that i'm not actually knocked up.. all in one go. FAIL

@Littlek I Think My Next POAS date Is Dec 1. Since Apparently My Days Get Shorter And Shorter Each Month. Grrrr. But We Still Couldn't Have Done Anything Differently. We BD'ed For 6 Nights In A Row. Sheesh!
I'm Trying To Remember Who Is Really In Control Here. He Has A Better Plan Than Mine. Kinda Makes It Seem Silly To Cry. But I'm just So Dern Disappointed. *sighhhhhh

@Marfi Sorry Lady
-
@runnerd: congrats mama!!!
@Marfi: @organicmama: Sorry ladies. FX for next time!
-
@Marfi: sorry
-
@runnerd: OH MY GOSH!! Yay! Congratulations!
I'm still in Mexico, so I can't say everything I want to but I'm looking forward to catching up with you ladies tomorrow. I am so happy to see all these BFP's so early!
-
@runnerd: Congratulations!!!
-
@Marfi:
-
@Marfi: Gah, I'm sorry
@thismustbetheplace: Awe! At least you have the gear ready to go for when the time comes!
@organicmama: 6 nights in a row is quite impressive! I really like your positive attitude no matter what.
-
ugh. i think i'm out this month... haven't poas yet, but feeling crampy and my temp has dropped the last 3 days. i won't test again until early december. fx for everyone else tho! and i'll update after af officially shows up or i poas tomorrow morning as planned.
-
@organicmama: @MrsMcD: @Marfi: @organicmama: @gksj: @Keppa: So sorry to hear about the onslaught of rollovers, I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way, fingers crossed for holiday BFPs!
@thismustbetheplace: That would totally be something I would manage, it is a super sweet idea though!
@dc yoga bee: I totally agree about paying attention and realizing how amazingly intricate this stuff is. It feels amazing that the human race has done so well when you think about how tricky it can be to conceive.
-
@Cole: Thats what I'm hoping for! Hopefully my O date this month doesn't coincide with the week on thanksgiving as we will have 8 house guests and may miss out window.
-
I don't know what's going on post-progesterone now... I'm at 16DPO and last took the progesterone on Friday night (13DPO). No AF or anything yet and my temp is still high. I did have an emotional moment this morning but I'm blaming that on turning 30 more than anything =/ This is frustrating.
-
@LindsayInNY: Happy Birthday!!! It sounds like you have an exciting month ahead. So far my 30's have been my favorite!!!!
ETA: just read your post...I hope you have some sort of resolution very soon! This kind of limbo sucks. Hugs!!!
-
@LindsayInNY: Happy birthday!!!!! I'm sorry your cycle is being crazy - I hope you get your answer soon one way or another (hopefully a super surprise late BFP!)
-
@LindsayInNY: first off, happy birthday!!!!! 30 is gonna be a great year - your thirties are suppose to be awesome cause you are more confident in yourself so embrace
as for the progesterone, when I took it this summer, my period took another 3-4 days to show up after I stopped - I don't temp so I can't speak to that. Hope you get answer soon!!@Marfi: sorry
@gksj: cramps don't necessarily mean AF!
@organicmama: the accepting we have no control part is the hardest!
@thismustbetheplace: haha!! That is totally something I would do
-
@LindsayInNY: Happy Birthday! Still holding out hope for you.
CM Question: I feel like Im getting obsessed with my cm. I have 26-28 day cycles, got my high peak,smiley on CD 9 yesterday morning, and had cramps (ovulation pain) alllll day. Today I,have mild cramps. I don't have cm in my panties. I did an internal check and, TMI but it feels really gushy in there. Like there's definitely a lot more fluid, however when I checked my finger it was not ewcm-it was hardly anything on my finger! Could I just not produce a whole lot, or has ovulation still not happened. I don't temp, it's my first month using opk. Thanks for any insight!
-
@cmbknyc: @chibee: @runnerd: @dc yoga bee: Thank you all!!
I was totally fine with turning 30 until the tears came this morning... I don't know why. I have SO much to be happy and thankful for and yet focus on this one thing that's "missing" right now. Not being pregnant now means I can do more on vacation later this month, won't have a July due date, etc. But instead I think of the year of trying and how I just want to be pregnant... It's so stupid. I shouldn't be upset, I know. I still feel early 20s too so "30" is just a number... Going to keep repeating that 
-
@dc yoga bee: have you paid attention to your CM norm during other cycles? You might not produce a lot, but it sounds like your O time would still be early based on your cycle length (CD 9 would put you around 23 day cycle right?)
For me what you are describing sounds like the couple of days before fertile days... A few "wet" days followed by a few EWCM. Then again cramps do point toward possible O... Sorry I'm not much help - really depends on what your norm is
-
@chibee: Aside from the boozing this weekend, a late BFP would be amazing. I had sick symptoms again last night before bed and wondered "what if" but I don't know... I guess I'm just going to keep watching my temperature and waiting?
@runnerd: Maybe I need to wait a few days for AF still... As long as my temp is high, I'm going to try and be optimistic somehow, LOL!
-
@LindsayInNY: POAS? Maybe late implantation?
-
@Marfi: sorry this wasn't your month
-
@LindsayInNY: officially Happy Birthday today!! 30 is really the best, but I totally understand that focus on what's missing, despite all the good things in your life. Take some time to take care of yourself today!!
-
@runnerd: I take a lot of allergy meds, and totally don't have a lot. I've only ever had 26-28 day cycles for the past 2 yrs I've tracked . Maybe it'll start to increase because the opk instructions say 24-48 hrs from positive.
-
@LindsayInNY: happy birthday! I'm 34 so I'll tell you that while your 20s are so much fun, your 30s are so much better! The best is yet to come for you!
-
@thismustbetheplace: Well, now when you do give him the baby paraphernalia it'll be extra special... right?!? I'm hiding some "reveal" onesies from my husband too, I feel like I need to go home and make sure they're secure now
-
@LindsayInNY: ((hugs)).
-
@LindsayInNY: happy birthday!!! I just turned 35, welcome to the club.
-
@LindsayInNY: I'm turning 30 in a month so I feel you! WHERE DID THE TIME GO?!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday and FX for a in your near future!!
-
@littlek: Maybe? I'm going to wait it out and see if what happens without the progesterone before POAS again... It sounds so stupid to be upset about 30 so I don't know why I am!
@loopedd: Thank you!! I need to focus on all that I have in my life instead of this one little thing that isn't there right now. I know it will be when the time is right though!
@sandy: Thank you! I really hope you're right
@thismustbetheplace: I still feel like I'm 24 or something! Clearly not acting like I am anymore though, LOL!
-
@MrsMcD: @Marfi: @organicmama: Sorry to hear this ladies but hoping next month Santa brings you guys a little present!
@LindsayInNY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Yay!!
Also, I think you have every right to feel the way you feel and you can have a mopey day if you want to, and celebrate when you feel better. If you don't recognize that you're bummed out, the feelings might stick around longer. Great job staying positive and counting your blessings, hoping that 30 is your year to get a sticky BFP! hugs!
-
@LindsayInNY: Happy birthday!!
-
@LindsayInNY: Happy Birthday!!! Even though people make a big deal about turning 30, it doesn't have to be. You are only as old as you feel - and it sound like you feel young, so that's wonderful! Also, I'll join some of the other ladies in saying that the 30s are pretty darn good.
-
@lindsayinny: totally understandable for you o be upset, it is hard when things don't turn out like you had imagined they would but hoping you will have the same luck as @bhbee:
-
Oh man, so much to catch up on over the weekend!
@whatsarahsaid: yay for being in the TWW! Go you, with a BD schedule like that!
@runnerd: congrats again, sending you all the sticky sticky vibes in the world!!!
@dc yoga bee: Hooray for flashing smileys! I'm not sure why it went straight to flashing, but hey, time for a BD storm anyway!
@MrsMcD: Bummer that you're out :(, but bathing in pre-seed, I love it!
@Cole: Oh no, haha! I guess symptom spotting your sore nipples is out for now
@thismustbetheplace: Aww, that would have been such a cute surprise! But you can still gift it to him when the time comes, hopefully very soon!
@LindsayInNY: Happy birthday!!! I'll second what others have said, your 30s are great! I am sorry to hear about the tears though, but hope you do have a wonderful birthday. And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed extra tight for you! You know you aren't out until you're out, and your temps are still encouraging even a few days after you stopped the progesterone.
@erind425: I see FF finally moved your O date to CD21. Your temps are still looking great too!
-
@marfi Sometimes it's way more fun to do it when you're not "supposed" to. Adds to the excitement! Heeheehee
@lindsayinny How did you determine you needed the progesterone? I'm wondering if I don't have a problem similar as it just seems like it's not sticking. May be all in my head but I just feel there's some truth to it. My OB told me I could go get a hysterosalpingogram to "flush" out my tubes and make sure there aren't any blockages. I may go ahead and do that just to eliminate that question...
TMI warning: I'm still spotting. More heavily and all brown stuff. No red. From what I've read, spotting before your period is not necessarily a good thing. Might be indicative of a problem. Ahhhhh!! The paranoia is killing me! LOL
-
Congratulations to everyone who has BFPs! I hope we get a whole bunch more on this thread, haha.
Still waiting for a +OPK. I've only used them one other cycle...does anyone have any thoughts about when is the best time to test? I read 2-4 but then saw some people saying you could miss your surge if you only test once a day. Thoughts? Expecting to O at the end of the week or so... Anyway, FX for lots of BFPs on here
-
@runnerd: congratulations!!!
@LindsayInNY: happy birthday - hope you have a great day! crossing my fingers that you aren't out yet, but you should definitely enjoy with some wine while you keep waiting.
update from me: FF marked my chart as triphasic over the weekend. my temps are still up today, possibly 14 dpo with my guesstimated/revised o-date. still all BFNs as far as my eyes can see, so I'm not sure what to think. I'll keep testing and keep y'all updated!
