@drjolene: I think it's awesome! I was way too lazy! I must agree that charting due to TTC has taught me so much about my body too! So many things I had no idea about before!

@drjolene: more than anything I am impressed at how much you guys BD! I'm feeling bad for my poor husband now. Lol.

@whenoceansrise: same here! 5DPO with so many twinges, nausea cramps. I did have most of these symptoms with my first cycle so I know they can happen to anyone but I Still just feel so good this month! I feel that little blastocysty with a tiny pick axe getting ready to burrow into my uterus. So you plan to test early or wait for AF?
@Brawley sounds very promising!! FX
Good luck ladies.ore BFPs!
@drjolene: still hopeful for you

@keepcalmcarrie: sorry about BFN. I hope you get some answers do you can get KU ASAP. I was shocked at how much nursing and having my son messed with my hormones.

@winniebee: LOL I know, I'm almost slightly embarrassed...almost. We're newlyweds with high libidos on our our second marriages after each having pretty much sexless marriages for years. I hope it looks half that good after a baby! lol
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@drjolene: Don't be embarrassed; it's awesome!!
I wish I have a higher libido! The only saving grace is DH's libido isn't high either so at least we're on the same page and no one is left unsatisfied lol

@MrsMccarthy: I'm not really feeling any symptoms yet. I really want to test at 10DPO, but I know that's still pretty early. I definitely can't wait until AF.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
8 dpo and pinchy cramps and that's about it. Really want this wait to be over already!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@whenoceansrise: 10 DPO is fine! You might get a BFN, or you might get a faint line!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@winniebee: I had TONS of pinching sensations, but earlier on! That sounds promising!

Happy afternoon! So, I was using the clear blue easy advanced digital ovulation tests for the past day. I was super stoked because it said I was having an estrogen surge. Anyway, I went online today because I had a question about it and saw that the reviews of it are soooo bad. Plus, I messed up my first test which, apparently, messes up the whole thing for the month. How temperamental! That thing is being returned. So anyway, I went back to the dollar store and bought a couple of the cheapies and got this result. It's one of those tests where the test line is supposed to be as dark or darker to indicate O. Part of the line is darker than the control and part looks the same.. Thoughts? What does it mean?
P.S. I can't believe I just had a photo session with something I peed on. I appreciate your help!

@whenoceansrise: I'm sorry! You've got this! I know it sounds crazy but I can't wait to start my TWW because then I can stop testing and looking for O all. the time.
honeydew / 7295 posts
@simplyfelicity: that looks so close i would call it an almost and expect that it will be positive by tonight or tomorrow so definitely start getting to business.

@winniebee: Temp dropped dramatically this morning. Had a bit of spotting this morning. Expecting AF tomorrow, especially if my temp stays down.

@Torchwood: @snowjewelz: @MrsMccarthy: @lilyofthewest: @winniebee: Thanks, ladies! DH really wasn't in the mood because we started BD-ing ED wayyyy early in my cycle (like cd8. We missed CD 12 but that was it. I almost started crying because he wasn't in the mood but I kept it together and he came around.He has gotten used to a wife with nooooo sex drive from BCP. SO...done!!! Should I test again tonight? Does it matter so long as we BD tomorrow and I test in the pm? I hope I O really soon because I don't think DH is exhausted and might not want to...

@HellOnHeels: I'm sorry! Still keeping my fingers crossed for you!
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@HellOnHeels: uh bummer. Hopeful you aren't out yet!

@simplyfelicity: @winniebee: Thanks gals! I'd be okay with it so that we wouldn't have to worry about a Dec babe.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@simplyfelicity: you should be fine if you bed today and tomorrow! I only ever did every other when I got pregnant for baby 1

I was just reviewing my charts... I normally have an 11 day LP. I just realized that since my MC I have only had one cycle with an 11 day LP, the rest have been 10, 9 and last cycle was only 8. So now I'm not sure when to consider myself late... Should I go with 11? Also I'm a little worried that if I'm not KU this cycle that my shortening LP is something I should worry about. But I am PUPO so I'll wait to worry until I have a reason to.

@Brawly: if it keeps up I would call your ob. There are lots of thing a you can do to lengthen your luteal phase but I would call first!

@winniebee: When I saw your name on here I was wondering if you decided to test early.
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@littlek: hahah nope! Staying strong. If I stumble through the morning pee it is easier. Also I don't have any cheapies. 2 FRER and 2 digital....less tempting to use a good test on early testing! I might test tomorrow (10 dpo). Still having some light cramps and full feeling and last night had a dream that we got a positive test! And I'm tired.

@Brawly: I'm having a lot of the same questions about my cycle post MC. I have no clue what's going on with my body!!!
Do you have a nurse's line at your gyno you can call? I'm sort of thankful I have the follow up Friday so I can bring up questions (the followup is about a cyst I had, but I'm using the opportunity of facetime with a doctor to ask ALL the questions!)
I'm pretty sure I'm out. My temp was still up and I was still just spotting this morning, but I'm feeling rather crampy.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@winniebee: Sounds so promising!! Fx for you I prob would not have tested at 10 DPO if I didn't have the cheapie Target tests. And then it turned out 1 was defective lol.

@MaryM: I know... as if the process wasn't traumatic enough in the first place, right when you think you are normalizing something wacky happens. Sigh.
And now I'm starting to think this isn't my month after all... my PUPO attitude is waning because I don't want to be super disappointed if AF comes tomorrow. TTC is kind of exhausting.
pomelo / 5129 posts
@Brawly: I agree with you on the exhausting part.
I'm two weeks past O today...so why have I been wondering for the last 3 or 4 days if I might be KU? I think it was easier when I wasn't counting the days or expecting anything!
When I did get my BFP, I didn't realize it for a week or so because all the symptoms I was having I attributed to AF. Now I think I know too much for my own good!

@simplyfelicity: That's great! You often hear stories of women needing a few months to regulate after stopping BCP, but that was not the case for me - I O'ed my first cycle off of BCP. (O was a couple of days later than what is normal for me the first cycle off BCP, but the next cycle was completely "normal.") Good luck!!
As far as your OPK goes, it looks *almost* positive to my eye, so I say go for it! You can keep testing if you want (I like to see how many + OPKs I get because it helps me pinpoint O), but you definitely don't need to.
