@Blythe: looks good! Congratulations!
-
@Kaohinani: Iβm having a glass too
I got these holiday themed glasses, so I feel good about my wine intake lol
-
@LAZB: Those are so adorable!
-
@Kaohinani: thanks! I have four more
two day βjingle til you tingleβ and two say βitβs the seasonβ. I got them in the target dollar spot for $3 a set!
-
@LAZB: I think "Jingle 'til you tingle" is my favorite, hands down.

Good morning, ladies!
It is amazing how complex TTC actually is when you factor in hormones, BD timing, temping, testing for LH, testing with HPTs, doctor (PCM, OBGYN, RE) visits, vitamins and supplements, medications and treatments, the emotional toll it takes on couples, the variable financial toll on a purse, etcetera, et etcetera ... Honestly, this gig isn't for sissies!!!
Alright, on to my daily update/morning rant (lucky you! π€£):
10/11 dpo - bloated/gassy AND more weird dreams which, I believe, are the reason I am waking fatigued. Stark white BFN yesterday BUT ANOTHER crazy BBT rise today. π€·ββοΈ IDK anymore. *shakes head then shrugs* -

@Kaohinani: Wow, that's impressive! I'm hoping you just tested too early...
My temps have been up and nearly flat for the past three days, but I have a feeling today is the last day with a high temp. No evidence yet though.
-
@paranundrum: Thank you. I was quite surprised to see another large increase this morning. Hopefully, you are correct and testing at 9/10 dpo was entirely too early for a BFP. It is funny - I normally have massive anxiety about testing; however, I did not when I took my test yesterday. I was only testing to humor the board and I was certain it would be BFN.
I so wish for your BFP! Stable temps are great. How many dpo are you? How many days does your luteal phase, generally, last?
-
@Kaohinani: I'm 11dpo today, but unfortunately I was right about af starting soon. I just started spotting.
I generally get af on 12-14dpo, but I start spotting up to three days earlier so I usually know I'm out by 9-11dpo. -
@paranundrum: Oh, no!
I'm sorry.
-
@Kaohinani: your chart looks great!!!!! Sending all good vibes your way!!
@Paranundrum: Iβm sorry too
-
@Jessiemuller88: Thank you!
How have you been?
-
Not valid because itβs been two hours, but I see something on the osom at least
-
@Kaohinani: your charts does look great! Letβs hope yesterday was 9 dpo for you and you just implanted
-
@LAZB: I see something on the OSOM as well. Getting my hopes up for you!
Thank you. IDK, it would be AH-MAZING to actually get pregnant after trying so long (* I don't really count my early CP because if the dr.'s office hadn't tested, I would have missed it entirely and I ended up OV-ing "on-time" as well.) . . . So many hopes. π€
-
@Kaohinani: eh, Iβm really not getting too excited, I feel like the frer would show more if the osom was accurate.

Hey Ladies! I'm in.... I've taken a bit of a break from HB the past few weeks as we've been busy and I've just been trying to relax with this all. For those who saw on the November board, we were feeling some pressure to skip TTC this month because of a family vacation planned next summer. Well, we said screw it.
The chance and precious gift of a pregnancy and baby trumps vacation for us. So, here I am! Cycle Day: 12
TTC Cycle: 3rd post MC
Ovulation Date: 12/3 ish
POAS Date: 12/17
Baby #: 4Now I just have to get back into the swing of things with taking OPKs. It was a nice break to not be so consumed with that the past couple of weeks. TTC just stresses me out!
-
@creativemomma15: I'm so happy that you are back! Baby trumped Turkey Day, as well as, vacation days, and almost anything else at this point for us, so I get you! π€£
I added you to the list (* you will see it if you scroll WAAAAAY up. -
@paranundrum: I'm sorry!
@Kaohinani: I'm surprised to see you tested early! Are you moving to the dark side of peeing on ALL the sticks!?! I'm hoping you just tested a little early and get your
@LAZB: I kind of see something too! But, I understand the hesitancy since it's not a definite line.
@yellowbeach: I've been following along with your updates this month... Wishing you the best with your transfer!
-
@Kaohinani: Thanks for the warm welcome back!
-
@creativemomma15: I threw caution to the wind and POAS. This cycle has been all-around odd: my 3 fertility/BBT trackers can't agree on my OV date (hence the 2 dates I give), I had a seizure early in this cycle (and hit my head) followed by an UTI which began 1/2 dpo. I figured this cycle is a wash so I might as well POAS and please the masses. π€£ Also, Yellowbeach can tell a + from an indent a mile away, Lazb has line-eye and can find them easily, and Sam's Mom has 40 filter apps on her phone just for sticks ... I figured that, were there even a remote possibility of VVVVVVVL BFP, they would find it.
-
@Kaohinani: I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that... which is good for my nose.
(also I had a nose bleed this morning from the dry air, so that would have really hurt coming through my nose)As for me my ovaries hurt some this morning, but not too terrible. I am soooooo tired, which I'm going to blame on the progesterone supplements. My son has decided after all the hubbub that came with Thanksgiving that he doesn't want to sleep in his big boy bed anymore
So between the progesterone and the forever and a day that I try to get him to sleep in his bed, I just want to take a mental health day, sleep in, and still have the nanny come to take care of Sam.
-
@LAZB: I see something on both in the second picture. Edits to come
-
So I didn't edit the osom because it's pretty easy to see in the picture you posted.
-
Also, I'm sitting in my office crying because I remembered the dream I had last night. We were at my Grandma & Grandpa's house. My son was out in my grandma's giant flower garden with her playing and helping, and my grandpa was sitting on the front step holding a baby that I knew was mine but not sure boy or girl.
The thing is both of my grandparents passed long before I ever had my son. My son is named after my Grandpa, and if I get pregnant this cycle, my due date would be my Grandpa's birthday.
-
@Sams Mom: Glad I could garner a chuckle.
I'm not sleeping well either. I've been having weird dreams the last 2 nights. The night before was a wild naughty dream (think weirder and far more kinky erotic than "Eyes Wide Shut" -
@Sams Mom: That would be AH-MAZING if this were to be your cycle for the very reasons you listed.
Full-circle connection.

Hi ladies
I'm new and am currently over analyzing and googling
Trying for our RainbowCycle Day: 31 normally 29 days, luteal phase was 11 days and then 12 days last 2 cycles
TTC Cycle: 1st after MMC in July
Ovulation Date: 17/11
POAS Date:?
Baby #: 4Was expecting AF today but...
Have had slight spotting (brown since 25th 8DPO, On 9DPO, nothing 10DPO, then again yesterday 11Dpo and today 12Dpo today it was more reddish but only when at the bathroom... Did Bd on 8 & 11 DPO
CM is still creamy where it usually dries up before AF and don't get spotting before AFWondering if anyone experienced this type of spotting and what was the outcome
-
@Sams Mom: thanks! I will of course now P on 1 million more things later today, Iβll keep yβall posted
-
@LAZB: hahahaha, that wasn't my intent, but you know that makes the POAS junkie sooo happy.
-
@Rswan18: Welcome! I will add you to our POAS list. Good luck!

@Rswan18: Welcome! I am of no use on your current predicament unfortunately. I rarely spot for anything; like not even after my monthly pelvic exam or my annual pap.
Are you a spotter? Like is that a thing before AF commonly? If not it could be a litany of things. Cervical/vaginal irritation from intercourse, pregnancy/implantation, hormonal imbalances. Hopefully one of the other ladies can chime in. Kaohinani is a wealth of knowledge, paranundrum spots pre AF regularly, LAZB and yellowbeach have been through the wringer unfortunately.
-
@Kaohinani: You literally beat me by a second
-
New test, only about 5 minutes after taking it. I see nothing
-
@LAZB: me neither, but this has to be what 2nd? 3rd? pee of the day? It pains me to say this, but no more tests until tomorrow morning! You will drive yourself crazy!
-
@Sams Mom: lol, I think youβre right. I have to go buy more first response, but I will save them for tomorrow
-
@Kaohinani: So I'm constantly trying to figure out cute pregnancy announcement ideas to tell my husband since I basically word vomited all panicky the first time. Please tell me I'm not the only one that spends lots of time doing this.
So far I have a Big Brother board book for my son, that I will give to him and tell him to go ask daddy to read it to him. (I've been pinterest-ing this all morning)
-
@Sams Mom: Client left and RE's office called.
- What IS covered under my insurance: My visits, AMA egg testing, sperm analysis, U/S, HSG, and fertility meds IF we are "trying naturally."
- What is NOT covered: exploratory surgery if needed, scar removal, IVF, IUI (* which is what we are interested in), fertility meds/injectables for procedures, sperm "washes."
--- IUI + sperm wash + all medications/injectables for a single month for the typical "unexplained secondary infertility" candidate in his clinic goes for $610 a cycle.
PrayingAs for your question, I am way past that.
As for telling DH... he told me just to hand him the stick.
I got these holiday themed glasses, so I feel good about my wine intake lol
Good luck, ladies! 
I'm sorry.
How have you been?
