Hellobee Boards

@Crystal: I didn't test early the cycle I had a chemical. I tested at 13DPO and the chemical happen around a week later. My understanding is that a chemical is often confused for a late period. But I would've been over a week late so there's no confusion there?

@theotherstark: fx it's implantation!

@Crystal: FX, although I'm not holding out much hope at this point. Ha.

How many dpo are you? I've read that a lot of women don't have any sign of implantating (neither cramps nor bleeding), so it's possible it happened and you didn't notice

@Crystal: I obsessively google everything during TTC... so yeah. I got a super faint line around 8-9 dpo with afternoon urine with LO on a FRER. Saturday sounds like a good day for you to test if you can hold out.

@theotherstark: It is so hard because what happens for everyone is different and even how people have implantation bleeding is different. Hope that is the case for you!

@theotherstark: And every pregnant and every cycle is different for each woman.
Do you think it's easier not to get your hopes up so as not to face the disappointment of a BFN?
That's the way I was my first cycle, but then the next cycle I just decided to have hope- and the month was SO much more enjoyable.
Try to enjoy the journey!

Hey ladies, CD 19 here with still no positive OPKs. Feeling pretty down

I have ordered Royal Jelly to try next cycle. I will probably do one more cycle of Clomid 100mg before I try to get in with a RE. Why won't my body comply!

ETA: These are as dark as they have gotten

SO. Did I mention how impatient I am?
I decided to call my RE and ask if there is a set number of days passed a missed period that they want you to consult with them.

If I don't have a period by Monday- They want me to call back. And then whenever AF does arrive- I need to call anyway to schedule my next OAR for CD3.

I really want to work on my patience for February...but I have no idea what the looks like. LOL.

@Mrs.Panda: What's your cycle history? That's what my OPKs would look like now because I typically don't O until CD19-20. When do you usually O?

@LindsayInNY: I don't know, I have PCOS and my cycles are not normal in the least. I am on Clomid. I have yet to see myself ovulate in all of my charting.

ETA: the first month I had no O and no positive OPK at 50mg of Clomid. I had to take Provera to get AF. The next cycle was a repeat of 50mg, but my cycle was only 18 days! This is my third cycle but my first at 100mg. No monitoring.

@littlek: This is my first month on 100mg and I am not monitored.

ETA: here is my chart. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/MrsPanda My first month was weird because on CD 32 I still hadn't gotten a positive OPK so my GYN told me to take Provera. I took two pills and got a positive OPK. I stopped and we tried to BD but I got AF 5 days later, as I always do after Provera. I looked it up to see if PRovera could ever cause ovulation and there are accounts of people getting posotive OPKs after taking the first pill or two, but my GYN said no. So confusing.

@Mrs.Panda: Ahh, that helps. I don't have personal experience with PCOS but a lot of bees on here do. Might be worth starting a thread asking people? Otherwise, I hate to say it, but I would keep using OPKs in the meantime until you see a positive.

6 DPO, definitely had some interesting CM today, kind of like ewcm, but not clear. this was opaque and whitish yellow. could be something, or I am just symptom spotting like a crazy!

@Mrs.Panda: In most of the research I've done, people seem to take it through their entire cycle, about 1000mg. But I've seen other people recommending to stop at O, but since your O is allusive, I'd recommend taking through the whole cycle.

@HolisticMama: thank you!! And thanks for not calling me an idiot:)

When would YOU POAS with the following info?

Last two cycles have been 28 days
I am pretty sure I Od (late?) on CD 19
I'm currently at CD 26.

Rationally, I know that I've had 30+ day cycles in the past, so holding out to POAS on Sunday or Monday (10&11 DPO) is probably smartest. I'd love any feedback, though. I also could get AF on Sat or Sun, and know that 1) I'm not KU and 2) I have a super short luteal phase. But I am going to remain positive that that WON'T happen:-).

Soooo...if you were me, when would YOU POAS?

@ChiCalGoBee: I have wondfos. I have no problem testing everyday. LOL.

@ChiCalGoBee: I would probably test at 9 dpo.

Estimated O Date: 2/3
POAS/AF date: 2/17
Cycle #: 2
Chart link: I dont chart.
Trying new this cycle: opk
What do your sizzling hot V-Day plans involve? And because I am craving chocolate right now, what is your favorite V-Day candy? No plans for vday. Fav candy pretzel m&ms.

@HolisticMama: why not FMU?! That's the first thing I'd be doing every morning! Lol

I literally have no symptoms, and it's probably too early to test, but I still want to!

@Crystal: Because I'm a huge weirdo. I don't know. And I have been sleeping so lamely- I will get up like two times to pee at night anyways...so I think, "Well- this isn't even really FMU anyways."
