Hellobee Boards

@Modern Daisy: thanks hun, I totally thought we had missed our window with my traveling (this is my longest cycle to date) so it would be pretty neat to actually have a Christmas miracle baby!

@SweetMamaM: Good luck, and I applaud you for your dedication to NOT POAS!!

@Alivoo01: thank hun! It helps that I'm meeting up with a friend today that has had unsuccessful IVF treatment so it's almost easier not to know today. Will let you know what excuse I come up with tomorrow hahaha.

My cycle has been kind of wonky this month, but I'm counting down the days until I can test. I'm either 7 dpo or 3 dpo...According to FF, my O date was between the 6 and the 8, but according to CM, I O'd on the 4. I'm super tired today, but I'm not going to test until next Monday, which will either be 14 dpo or 10 dpo.

I failed at charting this month. But on the upswing, it's almost Christmas!

@mrscastro @modern daisy @chibee - Good luck and lots of positive thoughts headed your way!
@sweetmamam You have good self control Good luck!

YAY to see a few pg ladies! Congrats to everyone who is expecting!

I'm still trying to decide if I need to test or not... this cycle is so weird. I've been spotting for 3 days. Usually I spot for a day or two before my period (it was expected to start today) but spotting has been light and period hasn't started. And I've never spotted more than a day or two... usually cramps start BAD within 36 hours of spotting (I get horrible cramps.) No cramps yet... but some weird twinges. I'm sure posting this will mean I get my period BAD tonight, the cramps that wake me up at 2am they hurt so bad, womp. We'll see I guess. I might test tomorrow or Wednesday if AF doesn't start. FX either way, I just want to be out of limbo. That's the worst part for me!

@KJfromNJ: Agreed! I hate limbo. At this point I'd rather AF just come so we can get the next show on the road, or delay her appearance long enough so I feel confident enough to take another test.

I'm CD 27 so AF should either be here tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday according to my last few cycles. Fingers crossed she stays away!!!

DH is gone away on a business trip until tomorrow - and the onesie I ordered for him came in. It's SO ADORABLE I CANT EVEN STAND IT!!! I would love to be able to tell him when he gets back, but I don't know if I have the heart to test and see a negative again. I'd rather just wait it out to see if AF comes on her own.

Well it's been fun but @MrsCastro: you can officially cross me off the list. AF came today (18DPO on the nose) I wish you ladies the best of luck. Know that I will definitely be lurking around these boards and cheering you guys on!

Happy POAS-ing and Happy Holidays!!

@everbee: @thismustbetheplace: Sorry about AF

I have a box of 50 wondfo tests (that I paid $15 for on Amazon, score!). When do you all think I should start testing? I know I'm only at 4 dpo now, but I literally have tests to burn so I don' t mind 'wasting' a few by testing early.

@lawbee11: Thanks! I was actually planning on testing FMU at 7 dpo because I'm leaving that day to spend the weekend at my parents house so I was wondering if that would be too early.

Also, the instructions on the Wondfo tests say the urine has to be at room temperature - how long do you let it sit out before it gets to that point and why can't it be body temperature? Does anyone know?

@lawbee11: That's good to know!

@Modern Daisy: I broke down and did 7dpo this morning - Dont recommend, it has put me in sad mood even though logic tells me it's too early. DH was scolding me when I told him - wish I could be logically instead of convincing myself ill be the exception who gets BFP early!!

11DPO and for some reason i'm not tempted enough to POAS...I guess 11 months of TTC-ing and seeing those BFN's really did a number on me.

@runnerd: I tested last week at 8DPO and 11DPO. Negative both times and I've vowed now to just wait for AF....I'm not as 'antsy' and eager to test as I was last week...maybe because I know an answer (good or bad) is just a couple of days away.

Fingers crossed for us all!!

@Beetones: *hugs* When are you planning on POAS or when is AF due?

@MrsCastro: i had no idea about UTIs & getting KU! i had AF last week followed by a UTI.... i wonder if that means good luck for this cycle =D fingers crossed for you! also, i like your positive spin on the misery that is a UTI = )

Sorry, been out of the country for the past two weeks.

TTC Cycle: 9th
Ovulation Day; Just had my CD14 ultrasound and my doc thinks I'll have a pos. OPK tonight or tomorrow.
POAS; 12/23

New for this month: Having my first IUI with femara pills. Ultrasound saw 2 (maybe 3) mature follicles. Dr asked me if I was okay with having multiples. I said yes. (Eeek, I can't believe the doc just asked me that!)

Oh, being on femara pushed up my cycle. Instead of my normal 33-34 day cycles, she said i'll be around 28 days. Woohoo, less waiting for me!

@Beetones: same DPO here and I'm trying to hold out for the weekend... I just don't want to be disappointed. Sending lots of sparkly baby dust your way!
