Just some random commentary... So I've read multiple times that in any given month your odds are 1 in 5 to get pregnant, and of those who have POAS for the month, we're at a 40% success rate!!! I guess that means that your odds are higher I'd actively charting/OPK'ing?

@sweetkeight: Yay!!! Congrats lady! That's an awesome line! And that's awesome it showed so early!
@pui: could you bump me up to the 25th on the list next time you update, please? I O'd 3 days earlier than last month, so I'll start testing on the 25th
@runnerd: we all must be lucky kidding. I've read that one in five statistic too, but I think you're absolutely right..your chances must be higher when you're charting and using OPKs.
I got my first crosshairs today! So excited! I didn't start charting til the day before I O'd last cycle, so I'm pumped to have crosshairs this cycle! Officially 3dpo! Testing next Sunday. Last cycle was my first TWW and it was torture. I'm trying to not let it get like that this time.

@runnerd: I've heard even with charting your odds of conceiving any given cycle are just 25%.

Wow haven't been on in a few days and there are so many BFP's!!!!!! Congrats ladies

@runnerd: I like to think that spending time with a bunch of board pages filled with positive tests and talk about positive tests does a body good...
@jhd: Thank you!
@littlek: Thank you and YAY for crosshairs!
@pui: Have I mentioned that your lists are just so dang pretty? If I mentioned it as often as I thought it, my post count would be up to a million!
@claire.peonies: cm just plain white over here.
@LovelyPlum: I'm going to pretend I'm an April Mama for a bit... my cycle day says my due is April 29. My O date says May 2. I like April 29 better.

@runnerd: That's amazing that the bfp rate is so high!!! I've also heard that chances are 20-25% even if timed right. I think I read that when timed correctly, something like 90% of eggs are fertilized and of those, about 70-75% do not result in babies - most never implant or are chemical pregnancies and about 10% are miscarriages, so only 20-25% actually result in viable pregnancies. So long story short 10% no fertilization, about 65-70% fertilized but not viable, and 20-25% pregnancies.
@sweetkeight: Congrats!!! That test is beautiful
So I'm only about 4 dpo, if I did actually O, and it feels like I could get AF at anytime. I know with breastfeeding that LP can be short but only 5 days or so? Does anyone know?
cherry / 202 posts
@lovelyplum: I just love pretty things - thank you!
@faithfertility @smurfette @skipra @happygal: Thank you! It's so exciting!
@sweetiepie: Thank you, I hope the line being this 'dark' this early means something good

Eeek! I am getting close to my POAS date and I am nervous! I am still having a lack of symptoms, but I am having AF like cramps. Hope that doesn't mean she is just waiting to pop up and surprise me! However, this cystic acne bump on my chin is really something else. I promise it is so large I believe that I felt it pulsating earlier. It has developed it's own blood supply. Hope it's a good sign.
Happy Monday everyone! Hope it's a great day
nectarine / 2932 posts
@ellewoods84: LOL, I get those all the time. I swear I can really feel them pulsating also! So gross! You're only two days away! What day DPO will you be?

Busy weekend! congrats @Torchwood, @jhd, @PEAPIE, and @sweetkeight!!
@mrsog, any news?

Woke up this morning to a temp dip
Currently 12dpo. Was going to test this morning but now I don't even see what the point is. I'm probably out. So so bummed! My LP is usually 16 so maybe its a bit early for my temp to start going down but I can't even keep up the hope anymore.
kiwi / 728 posts
@Littlebit: lol they are so ugh!!! I don't usually get these kind, more of a mild, not so large breakout before my period. It's painful! I will be around 14ish days DPO. I dont temp so just guessing based off my positive OPK. My POAS day is the day my period is due!

@sweetkeight: congrats!! It's cool seeing the word pregnant!
Good luck @mrsog!!
nectarine / 2086 posts
of course, ever the optomist, maybe it really could be an implantation dip at 12dpo? i'm only skeptical bc i swear i felt implatnation pinching on 8dpo so would have expected it to happen sooner but what do i know!
guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

@buttermilk: You're not out yet!! Temping is all about patterns and one temp dip doesn't necessarily mean anything.
nectarine / 2086 posts
@pui: thanks!
i also woke up to a major lower backache which isn't generally an AF sign for me.
i read somewhere that while the egg can attach itself to the uterus earler on *like 6,7,8 dpo* it can burrow even further closer to your period causing some signs like dips, bleeding, etc.
not giving up hope quite yet! if only for the fact that it will be a lot easier than being depressed all day long!

Well today I start my second round of Clomid. I should be done this cycle before my RE appointment in September... let's hope I end up having to pay the $50 fee for cancelling an appointment.

I keep a little DPO log of possible "symptoms" each month. By the looks of it, I must be dying, or a hypochondriac, cause I'm sure they are all just in my head.

@ellewoods84: I had cystic acne too...which was my first eyebrow-raising symptom that made me think something was up. Good luck!!! Rooting for you!!!
