@littlek: That's my plan. That gives AF 2 more days to show. I'll be on site with my client Monday and Tuesday, but there's an urgent care in their office park so I could go after work. I really don't "feel" pregnant at all, but I'd like to be sure before going to the in-laws for Thanksgiving. If I am pregnant, I'll have even more reason to tell DH to get his family under control, and not raise my blood pressure!
Excited for all the testers today and tomorrow. There's a bunch! This board has been really great this month!

@Lugrey508: that's a pretty big jump for just two hours...in my opinion. I'm doing ok! Hopefully O'ing next week, so that's giving me something to look forward to. Not going to lie, nights suck. During the day I'm busy and don't really have time to think over it...when I get home I start dwelling but overall, doing well. Thank you for asking xo

@Lugrey508: I've heard a decent estimate is .1 for every hour late, which would still be good news for you! but I agree that high temps after O don't really mean that much and can go either way. fx!!!

@Lugrey508: I've heard the same .1 degree for each hour thing before too. (Also your chart really does look promising)
Before my miscarriage when my cycles were really regular, I could temp anytime within a 4 or 5 hour window as long as I had been asleep at least 3 hours and get pretty much the same temperature. The time you take if affects some people more then others.

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement!! I'm scared to test, I think all the previous months of stark white frer have really discouraged me ... But I may not be able to resist in the am!!

I think the poas bug has gotten to me. I was doing pretty good, but last night I dreamed that Willie's wife from Duck Dynasty needed me to buy her an hpt, and I got some for me too. Clearly it's on my mind! Only 6dpo, so a little while left!

AF finally arrived! CD 29, so I think even though I got my smiley opk on cd 9, I must've ovulated later than cd 10. We only were able to BD cd 9 and 10. Next month we will really focus on the smep!

Well I tested this morning and it was a definite no squinting needed... I'm sad but I guess you never know until AF .

@littlek: I'm surprisingly okay. It's still really neat learning about my body. At least i didn't have to pay for a blood test on Monday! The only downer is my next predicted fertile week begins the end of next week, or alternatively, while we're at my in-laws! I asked DH if he wants to take the month off, and he said nope- we are all in now!

Quick Update: After beta levels were barley rising this week today we got the results that they dropped way down :(( looks like another chemical, nurse said to stop Crinone since they were 6 :(( crazy how they dropped so fast!
Trying to stay positive but it hurts, we thought this was it since levels were so much better than last time!
On to the next.........

@Lugrey508: @dc yoga bee: I am sorry to hear you are out.
I agree it is fascinating figuring out more about how your body works. Someone mentioned during my first month TTC that the estrogen rising before ovulation can make you weepy and man was that in full force for me yesterday and today. We had sad news but it hit me like a ton of bricks and normally I would have been sad but not nearly so weepy.

@dc yoga bee: sorry AF showed

@FaithFertility: so sorry for your loss

@dc yoga bee: darn you AF!
@Lugrey508: we'll hold out hope until AF but that is so disappointing in the meantime...
@FaithFertility: I'm so sorry for your loss... I can't imagine how you feel right now but I hope that your next month is the one ♡

I have officially joined the crazy train. I have been havkg some wonky things goin in the lat 4 days. Metallic taste in my mouth, achy cramps that are not going away, super clingy and emotional, and super sonic sense of smell.
I didn't even think about it being anything. I mentioned the smell and achy cramps to my DH and he gave me a weird look and said.... Um arnt those signs of implantation or pregnancy?!?
I am only on cycle day 15, but passed on cm I think I ovulated last weekend.
Arg. I am trying so hard to not per analyze! This is only out first full cycle!

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers, I wish nothing but BFP for all soon!

@MrsScottish: oh definitely on board the crazy train and this is our first cycle too! I don't think I will be ovulating until next week but I am still having to talk myself out of symptom spotting. It's the nature of the beast.

@FaithFertility: So sorry to hear this. Here's to hoping for a great month of December!
@DCYogaBee: Sorry to hear AF arrived - but good for you for having such a positive attitude! Hope you're able to find a way to make the most of that week at your in-laws
Well - after putting my temp into FF this AM I got a strange message basically saying that they have no idea when, or if, I O'd because my temps are so all over the place
My chart is still saying that I was probably fertile last week, but no sign of O yet - which is slightly disappointing. Now I'm not sure what to think of this month.

@FaithFertility: I'm so sorry. Lots of hugs.
It's amazing how much men do NOT get the poas thing. Bought my tests today (frer's, splurging on the good stuff after going wondfo's and blue dyes the last couple tries!), and DH was super irritated that I was buying them "so early." I'm 8dpo, and last time I got a very, very faint positive at 9dpo, so no, not that early, though I'm waiting later this month since I don't have wondfo's. He said I could just wait until AF was late, and then go out and buy a test. Note, he even said A test, like I've ever just taken one, even after a bfp. Ah, men.
But I do have one wondfo, so current plan is that wednesday, and if debatable, try one of the frer's. If totally negative, frer thursday and then probably saturday? Not sure I can wait, but DH really will be mad if I wind up spending a bunch on tests.
