    I'm late to this thread, but joining in as well!

    TTC Cycle #: 2
    Ovulation date: I don't temp or use OPKs but FF is projecting O between 1/7-1/9
    POAS date: 1/24
    Baby #: 1
    Your plan this month: Try not to get my hopes up too much. Last month I O'ed late and AF was 5 days late and I was convinced I was pregnant! This time around I'm going to try to relax more.
    And just for fun… what is your New Year's resolution for 2015? No more fried food

    @Imabee: Same thing happened to me last cycle! I was 4 days late and was so convinced I was pregnant. It's frustrating!

    So this morning I noticed some watery CM and went ahead and took an OPK. It's only CD 9 and I wasn't expecting to ovulate until close to CD 20-23. I'm still adjusting to having my IUD out so I'm not sure exactly what to expect, but this is what my OPK looked like. Doesn't it look like it will be positive soon? What do you ladies think?

    @jodyblair: Looks like you are close! For me--when I get one that looks like that it will be positive either when I get home from work or the next morning. Also, I get my positive OPKs on CD11 or 12. Good luck!

    @Bea: Thanks! So crazy...I usually have some pain for several days before I ovulate and I haven't had anything yet. I also have PCOS, so I'm not totally convinced OPKs will even work for me. I guess only time will tell!

    I had a hunch that joining this board would bring me good luck, and it looks like I was right! I had a super squinter on Monday, then a faint line yesterday - but seeing it in writing today is pretty awesome!

    Another BFN this morning. Still no AF. So i officially have no idea what my body is doing.

    @Navy_Mommy: so sorry! what dpo are you now?

  18. Navy_Mommy

    nectarine / 2458 posts

    @Bea: not using OPKs, I'm pretty sure I'm 17dpo. We were gonna order wondfos once AF starts. I got positives at 10dpo with my first and 12dpo with my second. Both the first month trying.

    @jodyblair: That looks pretty close. I'd take another one later today if you can. Good luck!!!

    @elljay: Congratulations! It feels so good to see that word come up
    @JennyG: I can't decide if I want to take another one today. I swore I would be relaxed this month since it's our first month trying. Patience. Patience. Patience! Ugh.

    @jodyblair: I would consider it negative. You always have LH in your system, so I would say that you are at least a couple days away from a positive. I would still test once a day. Best of luck!

  26. jodyblair

    kiwi / 611 posts

    @simplyfelicity: I agree with you. It is negative. But my understanding is when the test line starts to get darker, you're getting close to your LH surge, and when the test line is as dark or darker, then you have had an LH surge. I was just surprised to see it so close to being positive so early.

    @NovBaby1112: yep, my late faint one led to a miscarriage. Just seems like it didn't get off to a good enough start or something. I know tons of other people have gotten bfps at 12dpo or later and had healthy babies, it just seems like my body (and maybe yours too) bakes a better baby with lots of hormones right away or something.

    Here is my chart:
    http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/33c2b8/

    ETA: I didn't do opks, just temp and cm. which is usually pretty clear for me, but of course not on my cycle they're doing bloodwork for!

    @Chaosmaven: I think I need to change my Poas date to jan 12th if AF doesn't come tomorrow!

  28. DesertDreams88

    @jodyblair: not to be a bummer, but my OPK's have looked like that for 6 days now. I did some searching on the fertility friend test database, and it seems like there can be a pretty strong line for a couple of days, but not quite positive yet. It all depends on your typical hormonal mix. I think I have a longer surge than most, and or just higher hormones. Here's to hoping for the best for both of us! I hate having a late O date! I would love to be something like day 14

    @honeygold89: how has it been going, did you get in to see your doctor?

    @DesertDreams88: ugh that's annoying! I knew taking OPKs would just be one more thing for me to obsess over! Haha. Thanks for the info and hopefully we both o soon!

    Late to the party, but joining this board too (also on the 6+mo TTC board).

    TTC Cycle #: 21
    Ovulation date: FF says 10/27, which would have been CD19
    POAS date: 1/9
    Baby #: 2
    Your plan this month: Had an HSG on 12/19 (CD12), which showed clear uterus and tubes. Hoping that clearing the tubes will lead to a BFP this month at long last! Also trying not to get my hopes up too much again. Last month AF was 9 days late and the BFN after BFN with no answers was maddening. So, I'm trying hard to hold out until FF says to test on Fri (1/9). If I o'd on 12/27, Fri puts me at 13 dpo.
    And just for fun… what is your New Year's resolution for 2015? Exercise more, stress less, save $ (so, not much fun)

    Congrats to @shortiecake: @busylizzy111: @Honeygold89: @CarrieLouWho: @shellio: @Ocean girl: and @elljay:

    Good luck to the rest of us this month!! Come on 2015 BFPs!!

    @My Only Sunshine: Yes, it was incredibly frustrating! It's an emotional roller coaster I was not expecting.

    Well, this month was not to be... AF arrived last night. So I either had a CP or a figment of my imagination! Roll me over, hoping for next month.

    @shellio: Sorry to hear that. It sucks to get your hope up and then not have it work out. Hugs!!

    AF finally showed up (four days late). Roll me over to next month! We had initially planned to stay trying in February, so maybe my body just liked that plan more

    @shellio: so sorry to hear

    @Navy_Mommy: FX for next month!

    Has anyone experienced delayed AF while taking B complex? i started taking it this month to help with the pre AF spotting I had been having after weaning, before my m/c. But now I had tiny bits of spotting at 12, 13, and now 14 dpo but no full AF, and I expected it yesterday or today. Has anyone had this experience? I just want AF to get here already so I can move on to next cycle!

    @NovBaby1112: ha I am totally the opposite, I find the first half of the cycle to be so much better--I feel like temping to see when I o and BD'ing at least makes me feel like I am doing something! The last week of the TWW is the worst though (as I'm sure it is for everyone!).

    I think I jinxed myself in joining so late. AF showed up today, so I'm a roll over.

    I have my CD3 repeat labs and ultrasound to check follicles on Saturday morning and DH is scheduling his repeat SA + wash.

    @shellio: I'm sorry about the CP. I definitely thought you had a line.

  39. NovBaby1112

    grapefruit / 4066 posts

    @CObee: I think it looks like maybe you Od on CD20? So that would only make you like 6dpo now...but I could be wrong!

    @shellio: I'm so sorry

    @Navy_Mommy: goodluck next month!

    @ballerinabee: I'm sorry but it sounds like you have a good plan for next cycle!

    @hilsy85: hmmm that's strange...I just started taking bcomplex this cycle too to see if it helps my short cycles, so I have no advice! Are you sure of your O date? I read that ovulation can be delayed, so maybe that's delaying AF? Or maybe POAS if AF isn't here tomorrow!

    @NovBaby1112: pretty sure of my O date. My temp dropped today (not below coverline, but almost), so pretty sure I"m not pregnant. Just hoping AF shows already! Who knows, I guess there's still several hours left in the day and it could show up later.
