@Petitduck: Thanks.
I am interested in tomorrow's temps as well. π€ I am oral BBT simultaneously and those temps are also on the the decline which is why I believe my eggs are playing a cruel game of hide-and-seek this cycle. So weird!
-
@Kaohinani: my temps go on a bobsled run in about 30% of my charts, but then the jump after ovulation is massive.
-
@Sams Mom: Thank you, that is awesome to to know.
-
Just because I thought this would give yβall a laugh, I just crazily peed on five tests. My first ultrasound is next Thursday, and I got panicky last night about my numbers so I took a whole bunch of tests this morning. Not that they really mean anything because I havenβt taken a test in a week so I have nothing to compare it to, but it still made me feel better
-
@LAZB: been there!!
-
@bhbee: solidarity! I may be crazy, but at least we are crazy together!
-
Also, interestingly, I took two wondfos with the same urine and one is much darker. Goes to show how you canβt use them for progression (even though I always do)
-
@LAZB: totally something I would do! Art least the first appointment isn't too far away.
-
Am I the only person who (with both pregnancies that went to term) only peed on 4 or 5 HPTs total for each pregnancy?!?! π€
I have a feeling when I DO FINALLY get my BFP, you ladies will have gotten in my head and I will be peeing "on ALL the sticks" until my first beta! -
@Kaohinani: I peed on 2 tests while pregnant with Sam, and then had 2 dipped at the doctors. I think I've just become more deranged over the last almost 2 years.
-
Finally confirmed. Now officially on to January for TTC. At least I can drink eggnog and champagne. π€·ββοΈ
-
@yellowbeach: Oh, man!!!
Hey, idk if you saw but I did create a Jan 2019 board. Oh, and I walled you back. -
@yellowbeach: that sucks, but Christmas time drinking is a mediocre silver lining.
-
@Kaohinani: Thank you - just posted to the Jan board. I hit DH up on those two places you walled me and he's still luke warm. I'm wondering if it's Hawaii that's really the issue for him. He keeps talking about somewhere cold, but he doesn't ski or snowboard, so I'm not sure what we would do with a toddler in 15 degree weather.
-
@yellowbeach: Haven't you guys had your fill of snow too after that last storm?
-
@Sams Mom: Yes! It's still on the ground and being tracked all through my house!
-
@yellowbeach: Honestly, I think you hit the nail on the head. With Turtle Bay, you can do anything from snorkeling to horseback riding and watching sea life (turtles, seals, etc nearby) ... they will also help you plan tours for seeing waterfalls, going on hikes, kayaking, family-friendly boat tours and ziplining. You can also see where LOST and Jurassic Park was filmed. One plus is you can stay in different types of lodging: hotel-style, cabana, or mini-townhouse/lodges. It affords tons of privacy and is so close to the beach, sea park, nut farms, etc. The Hilton is downtown. They will cater to ALL of your needs (and book activities for you) and have kid-friendly pools, activities, tons of restaurants and oodles of shopping. They even have a small area with penguins! The beach is right there as well. (I have pictures from both if you want ever want to see.) Both are vastly different but unbelievably nice.
-
@LAZB: I peed on one 4 days ago. Just for fun. And maybe two days ago, I canβt remember. I feel crazy, but have accepted it. I think I peed on two with my first, but one was an expired frer so I had to get a fresh one. Probably 10 or so cheapies and a frer with my second and at least 20 cheapies and two frers with this one.
-
@LAZB: I totally peed on 2 tests a day up until around 7 weeks with DD... so I get it. Something falsely reassuring about seeing those dark lines.
AFM, today is day 1 without meds. I've read this first AF after a medicated cycle can be pretty brutal, but we'll see. I work a 12 hr shift today, 10 tomorrow and then fly to Denver for 48 hrs over the weekend. I'm already exhausted, but at least it'll keep my mind off of things. I'm also glad that Christmas is in the middle of this recent FET and our next. With family in town and everything going on, staying busy will help pass the time (I hope).
-
Long time lurker hoping for some confirmation Iβm not seeing things. This is the only group I know who hopefully wonβt think Iβm crazy. Iβd been taking cheapies from Amazon and tossing them after not seeing something after about 1 minute. Today I waited a little longer (2 minutes, to be honest) and this line popped up. Itβs also from a different package. Is it too light to be something real? I should be 17DPO.
-
@Doodle: That's definitely a positive! It does seem a little light for 17 DPO but maybe you had a late implanter.
-
@skinnycow: I just keep taking pictures of it, haha. I did have some weird twinges a little later than I would have thought implantation would occur. Iβm trying to not get too excited while simultaneously losing my mind. Thank you!
-
@Doodle: Congrats! Some cheap tests don't show great lines until way late. Try a FRER - hopefully you get a great line!
-
@Doodle: I agree with @BananasareYellow - take a FRER!
-
Good point about taking a FRER! Wondfos can take forever to get dark.
-
@Doodle: That, definitely, appears to be a BFP! Congratulations!
!P.S. Although it is commonly accepted that implantation occurs from 6-12 dpo, clinical studies have found that the earliest implantation has been found around 4.5/5 dpo and the latest (naturally) at 13 dpo but during test-tube trials @ 14 dpo!

@yellowbeach: I'm sorry you're out. And the unknown of what to expect for AF this cycle. Glad Christmas can be a distraction for you.
-
@Doodle: That's a positive! Congrats and try a FRER!
-
I caved and POAS today at 12 dpo.... Negative
Not really sure when to expect AF as it has kind of varied from CD 27-30 for me the past few months.
-
@creativemomma15: I'm sorry for your negative test.
-
@Kaohinani: Thanks for the positive outlook. I'll try to hold off a few days until I'd cave and try again. I'm also trying to tell myself that it's okay because I wouldn't have to deal with the family drama of "ruining vacation" if we got pregnant this month
-
Thank you all for your responses. THIS is why I love this community: a panicked lurker gets so much immediate support!
I grabbed 3 FRER on lunch and yup, looks like I was tossing the cheapies too soon out of frustration!
-
@Kaohinani: I sincerely appreciate all of your science-y, data driven responses
-
@Doodle: You are welcome.
I am so happy for you. Those HPTs are super POSITIVE!P.S. We have an August Due Date Board up and running whenever you are ready to join

Thought I'd update here - I caught A bad flu so I've been MIA but had a few days of very light pos tests followed by a few days of light spotting and yesterday AF showed up. Looks like another chemical, which is hitting me harder than it did the first time.
I think I need a month of a mental break from this - I'll be watching you ladies and cheering you on though (especially those with big RE appts coming up)

Super perplexed -
So, I have not had any positive OPKs (near-POS at best which my OBGYN said could mean the LH surge happened overnight) and 2 days of CBEAD on "HIGH" with no "PEAK." My surges keep rising and falling so IDK if I geared up 1x but didn't OV then geared up again and did OV but this morning my OPKs are "LOW" and negative.
π€ My temps (oral and Tempdrop) skyrocketed this morning so DH and I did not even have a chance to use our home IUI as today was the day we were told to use the 1st, BD tomorrow, and then home IUI again the next day assuming OV would be on Sun/Mon. We just had a quick morning BD session "just in case" to catch the egg. π€ IDK about this cycle. Maybe 2 surges? Perhaps 2 follicles vying to rupture (my Mittelschmerz was pretty rough this cycle)? A hormonal cyst? Maybe my surge happened at night? I can't make heads or tails and won't know until all my apps give me an OV date. I sure hope this wasn't a missed opportunity cycle! Any thoughts, ladies? I could use some clarity because I'm frustrated atm ...
@Sams Mom: @Yellowbeach: @Paranundrum: @Lazb: @Jessiemuller88: @bananasareyellow: Anyone?

Missed passing by 1 point, again. Fuck.
