@wheres_c: @MrsB2012: @Silva: @artsyfartsy: Thank you!
-
@pwnstar: What?? So was that implantation spotting, not AF?? My LMP was Nov 12 too, we are due the same day!
-
@pwnstar: HOLY SHIT amazing news!!!!
-
@pwnstar: congratulations!! So exciting!
So I don't have quite as exciting news, but it turns out I did ovulate this month (was my first Clomid cycle and assumed I wasn't going to ovulate after I hadn't by CD18). Well, I kept temping and using OPKs and finally got a positive on 12/20! (CD25 - super early for me
). I'm now 3dpo and we hit O-2, O-1, and O, so fingers crossed! I guess I could still be in the December POAS group, but I will be 10dpo on 12/31 so I'm going to try to hold out till early January.Good luck to those testing next week and happy holidays!
-
@pwnstar: Congratulations! I've been ttc since Nov and have been following the POAS boards here, and I have to admit that your story made this crazy ttc lady POAS at CD6 "just in case" I had a fake AF like you. H&H 9 months to you.
to the rest of the ladies testing, and I'll see the rest of you in the Jan board when it appears.
-
@JoJoGirl: Thanks! I don't know wtf happened (other than the unprotected sex part, duh!
). But I guess so! @ KitKat: Thank you. That's such a great update! Good luck!
@Litebrite: Just when you think it's a zig, you get a zag. Good luck!
@LCTBQE: Thanks.
-
@pwnstar: congrats!!!!!!!!!
-
@Kitkat: Fingers crossed!!
-
@pwnstar: wait, I'm so confused. Do you chart? That would be super interesting to see!! Congrats again!!!
-
@pwnstar: OMG congrats girl! What an amazing Xmas surprise
-
@pwnstar: Amazing news! Congrats to you!!!
-
@artsyfartsy: So sorry.
@winniebee: Fingers crossed for your Christmas baby to be sticky!
@pwnstar: Congratulations!So BFN for me this morning.
Still holding onto hope. -
No Christmas baby this year
after all that AF started right on time. Wishing you all the best!
-
@winniebee: I'm so so sorry. ((hugs)) and ((hugs)) and ((hugs)).
@Mrs. D: *fx* for you!
@marley: Thanks! I don't chart. Just the CBFM. No wonder it spazzed on me. It was trying to tell me something!
@Nutella: @catlady: Thank you!
-
@pwnstar: maybe I should stop charting. I had a peak reading on 12/18 but my temp never rose. I'm using a new thermometer but that shouldn't be a reason why my temps are in the high 96-low 97 range after O. I don't think ovulated this month.
-
@Mrs. D:
@winniebee: sorry. -
@winniebee: ouch - I'm so sorry dear.
@marley: I don't know what's about - I'm sorry you're going through this weirdness.
-
@pwnstar: ok I'm just a creepy lurker here but I had to comment because the SAME thing happened to me a little over a week ago. I tested, certain it would be a bfn, and got super dark lines and 3+. So crazy! Congrats!!
-
@winniebee: oh no. I'm so so so sorry
-
@winniebee: sorry
-
@Mrs. D: @winniebee: sorry, ladies
Fingers crossed that January is very very lucky for you both @marley: I hate that you are in the dark about what's happening because of your stupid thermometer! Wonder if your O is super delayed this month? Or yeah, maybe a random anovulatory cycle? Keep us posted
-
@LCTBQE: I actually got the Mabis that you recommended. It's got some good reviews but because of the super low temps, I just ordered another thermometer just in case it turns out to be inaccurate. Maybe I just should stop temping. It's super stressful and that's probably not helping things.
-
@marley: I know you use the cbefm--did it give any indication of an LH surge? Maybe you should just switch to regular-ass wondfo opk strips next month!
-
@LCTBQE: yes I had a solid smiley on the 18th.
-
@marley: I don't temp. Is getting a CBFM a possibility? It sure helps to take the guesswork out of when you're ovulating and trying to interpret temps.
@MrsSCB: Ha! At least I'm in good company!
I have no idea how someone who is actively TTC could have missed it (and by that I mean me!). I will feel much much better after the Doc tells me everything looks good, but for the time being, I am enjoying having missed a few weeks! Makes the first tri much shorter, which is just fine by me. @Mrs. D: *fx* crossed for you!
-
@pwnstar: yes, when I first getting the clear blue advanced digital, I was contemplating the monitor. But, my arrogance made me get the digital test because I thought I would get pregnant in less than 3 months, so getting the monitor wouldn't be worth it. I guess I'll buy it when AF shows up. Meanwhile, I just ordered my fifth thermometer.
-
@marley: I wouldn't call that arrogance. I would call that optimism.
-
@pwnstar: omg congrats!!
-
@pwnstar: @marley: @LCTBQE: thanks, my fingers are crossed too.
@winniebee: awe, I'm so sorry too!
-
@pwnstar: congrats! See you on the due date board!
-
@pwnstar: OMG congrats! What a great surprise!
I think I might end up with a CP. I broke down and ordered cheapie opk's which were positive for a couple days and a super super faint FRER but the opk is starting to fade. AF is due Monday if this cycle is similar to previous ones. My cycles have been really long so I expect I'll join the February boards. Hope everyone gets their BFP's before then!
-
AF is on her way out! Last cycle we got 2 days worth of BD in because DS has decided he hates sleep.
He's doing better so DH and I are planning to BD at least every other day starting tomorrow through well past ovulation. I'm not temping so I can't know my O date for sure, but I can make a good guess. My cycle is also 26 days long so I'm not sure if I'm ovulating early (doesn't seem like it) or having a short LP.
If this cycle doesn't work I'm going to temp for sure to find out...but I don't want to dive into temping again just yet.
-
@artsyfartsy:
Question re: temping. Why did you stop? Did it just not work out for you? -
@artsyfartsy: We ran into similar issues as far as DS not sleeping this past cycle. He's still having trouble, but sleeps well the first 3 hours. Sleep regressions are always looming! Temping seems to be an impossibility with the constant interrupted sleep, but I heavily relied on the method before we had DS. Hope you have better luck with sleep and BD this cycle!

@mrschickpea: @OldpuebloJenn: Thank you!
@skipra: I hope not.

@marley: We actually TTC earlier this year and I temped the second month. I wasn't getting a good chart and trying to make sure and temp first thing in the morning with a baby that sometimes didn't let you was a little stressful. I didn't care much for it. We ended up putting off TTC after 2 cycles of trying because DS was getting evaluated for early intervention.
If this cycle isn't it though I will start again. Just not looking forward to it. Lol
-
@pwnstar: you dropped me off again!
6dpo today
-
Always thread lurking!!!! Congrats to the BFPs and many positive vibes for those yet to test!!!!
-
I know I wasn't supposed to test until the 30th but.... Yesterday I felt so awful, like I was getting the flu. I even threw up twice! I don't feel achy anymore today, but still nauseous so I decided to test even though it's only 8dpo. And... I think I got my first squinter!! I'm so excited and so hopeful, but it's early (AF isn't even due until 13dpo) so I'm trying to stay a bit guarded.
). I'm now 3dpo and we hit O-2, O-1, and O, so fingers crossed! I guess I could still be in the December POAS group, but I will be 10dpo on 12/31 so I'm going to try to hold out till early January.
to the rest of the ladies testing, and I'll see the rest of you in the Jan board when it appears.
). But I guess so! 
after all that AF started right on time. Wishing you all the best!
