@MrsMcD: I will be testing again tomorrow, though not feeling much hope after today's BFN. I think 10dpo might be the worst day in the TWW . . . too early for testing to be at all reliable but close enough to the end to make you insane.

@bhbee: I'm sorry about the BFN today. I absolutely agree about 10DPO. It could be the worst so I no longer test on that day. Only AF provides a concrete response to our TWW insanity. I'm 5dpo today.... womp womp.

Today is 11DPO. I wasn't going to keep track and pull one of those dumb "hmm, I'm a few days late, let's POAS." I am apparently incapable of that. I am trying to remember that we only hit O-4 and O-2, and with all the stress, being sick, etc., the chances are low. Then of course, someone I ran into today is pregnant after trying for only a few months and said she only had sex once that month. This of course makes me think that I must be. Am I certifiable?

@AmeliaBedilia: I'm a day behind you and this part of the TWW - all bets are off. Rational thought out the window! In my opinion we all get a free pass to be crazy for a little while.
I could never forget to pay attention either. I always know within a day what dpo I am!

@MrsMcD: This wasn't a medicated cycle so once I got a positive we bd'd that night, the next afternoon, then the next morning. Guess we'll see, though I don't plan on POAS at this point either. Yay for potential vacation! Even though it means you didn't get a bfp, it's good to have a nice vacation to look forward to! And HAWAII! But fingers still crossed for you this cycle!

@Snowdrop: @crystal: Ugh the on call doctor didn't want to be bothered is why. It sucks. My RE went out of town at the end of the week but would have been back when I typical O. I got positives 2 days early leaving me in the hands of on call. She was a pain to get ahold of then restricted when we could come, even though DH works. So no iui. We bd'd but we def didn't put any extra effort in

@AmeliaBedilia: Did I miss what day you said you were POAS? Def not certifiable; it could happen!

@Kelli_Deluxe: I don't have an official POAS date. AF is due tomorrow or Wednesday. DH and I won't see each other til Thursday. This week is crazy, and I haven't decided. I am feeling a little off- a bit lightheaded but feels a little different, but I am probably symptom stalking. Please ladies, help keep me from getting my hopes up! I don't want to be disappointed again.

Another day another bfn. I know I'm not totally out, but all of my later bfps have been chemical so I think it's over and i'd rather just get bfns.
I feel ok about it not being this month. I feel more scared about how long it might take overall. This was our third medicated iui and my 8th clomid cycle so we're probably looking at other steps now.
And finding a new RE and having to potentially start that over in Texas is a little scary. But I am holding onto the house as a great thing that happened to us. Fingers crossed for our inspection today and subsequent negotiations! We waited 9 months for this new job to materialize for DH and now we have the job and hopefully a house. I know I have to have the same faith about ttc.
Hope we get some other bfps this week!! I won't be testing again until may as I'm planning a non medicated cycle which will be longer but will hang around for sure.

@bhbee: I'm doing fine. Just tired and bloated. :). We have first US April 16. Fingers crossed everything looks good and there's a heartbeat.

Hi ladies. Just wanted to stop in and say "hi" even though I have nothing exciting to say. It's CD8, which means AF is gone but it's not time to step up the BD game just yet (O won't be until late next week). The waiting to O part of the cycle is so *boring.*

@bhbee: So sorry about the BFN
Well, roll me over, ladies! AF is in town. What a B.

@septca: I think @littlek: 's enthusiastic congratulations was actually just left over from my roll call this weekend! I like exclamation points when I'm excited! Hehe.

@bhbee: Sorry about the BFN. No fun, but I'm glad you're feeling OK. Like you said in an earlier post, you have had some great things happen for you lately. Your BFP is just holding out for another, otherwise boring, month, hopefully soon!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
@doxielove: So sorry about this cycle lady. Today is a fresh and new start!
@bhbee: I'm so sorry about your BFN. I'm still holding onto a shred of hope for you, though. You have so much to look forward to with the big move and the new house. And I'm so happy you mentioned the faith you have regarding TTC. I wish that was discussed more in general.
@Kelli_Deluxe: At least this missed IUI was not a medicated cycle and you still got in great BDing. Silver linings!
@AmeliaBedilia: I'm getting excited for you! Have you been testing at all?
@Honeygold89: and @MrsMccarthy: Thanks for popping in here for support!

Its so slow in here lately.... what's going on girls? Does anyone have any plans for April?
cantaloupe / 6086 posts
@MrsMcD: no exciting plans. DH has 1.5 weeks off from work before his new job starts and I'm going to try not to be annoyed by him being home. I should really think of a few fun day trips we could take to enjoy New England!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
@bhbee: Day trips around New England sound amazing. I hope you enjoy your time with him home. And enjoy your time before the move.
@Snowdrop: Hey lady!! Congratulations! One year is a big milestone. Any celebrations planned?
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
@Snowdrop: Yay!!! That's exciting! Are you guys planning anything special?

I'm out. AF came this morning. Now starts cycle 13, though due to relatively short cycles, I will probably get about 14 in before it will be a year. I am scared of reaching 1 year, because somewhere in my mind, it means we will never have kids. I don't see us doing IVF, and doubtful about IUI. DH just started fertility blend for men. He is planning on getting a SA within the next month or two. He thinks the issue is our stress, and that if he can reduce his level and continues the vitamins, it will work. I don't mind not being pregnant now (except it would have been nice to have a baby before the end of the year cost-wise), it's that concern that it will never happen that is so bad.

@littlek: WOOHOO for BFPs. And congratulations.
@doxielove: Booo! I'm sorry, friend.
@bhbee: I'm so sorry, friend. Its not over til its over, so I am still holding out hope for you.
@AmeliaBedilia: Oh no, I'm sorry. Take some time to be kind to yourself and relax tonight.
Big hugs to everyone.
@septca: I'm with you, stuck in the in between. I am 5DPO- way too early to test, but I want to! I am trying to talk myself out of buying FRERs to test on Friday.
