-
@hellobeeboston: boooo I'm sorry
That false positive really got my hopes up too! prayers for next cycle- maybe we will both have May babies??? @auggiefrog: @Eko: I'm sorry
keeping my fingers crossed for next cycle for you both!@mrschickpea: fingers crossed! 10dpo is still early!
-
@Ashleyf21: I also just try my hardest to focus on my health. When I got pregnant with my first LO I was carrying some extra pounds and just not in the best of shape. This time I want to start things from a good place.
-
@hellobeeboston, @MissLace: Sorry to hear you are out, ladies. My fingers are crossed that you both get May babies
-
ok dumb question- but gearing up to ovulate on probably monday/tuesday (will use opk's to confirm). can't decide if we should have sex everyday or every other day? im tired just typing every day
what does everyone else do?
-
@hellobeeboston: Ugh, what a tease that test was!! Sorry to hear you are out:(
@NovBaby1112: My doctor suggests every other day. Not sure why, but it worked for DS.
-
@mrschickpea: I had a BFN at 11dpo with my son and didn't get a positive until 14dpo (didn't test 12-13dpo because I thought I was getting AF), so don't lose hope! Fingers crossed for you!
-
@NovBaby1112: My Dr suggests every other day, as BDing every day could compromise the integrity, quality and quantity of the sperm.
-
@SeptMomma12: @Bigskygirl: ok thanks ladies! every other day it is! much better for me
So Thursday, Sat, Mon, and Wed will be aiming for.
-
@NovBaby1112: seems like a good plan. I think we will try that this next cycle.
-
@hellobeeboston i know i ovulated on july 30th since was using 2 opk strips a day and also felt O pains during that time. That was a week ago yesterday. If it is my period then that means my luteal phase would have only been 7 days long. Its not a ton of blood, just the initial gush when i peed this morning. Hopefully that was the majority of it and it lightens up the rest of the day.
-
Girls I totally think I'm out for August. I still haven't even gotten my period yet! So I'm still waiting for CD1 to show up! Ugh!
Last night I took my last Progesterone pill, so hopefully my period will start in the next couple of days.
-
@MissLace: i'll leave you on the list for now, keep us posted, fingers crossed!
@MrsBrewer: ugh that's so annoying, i'm so sorry! i'll keep you on TBD for now!
-
@loki: Thank you!!
Who knows, maybe it will start in the next day or so and I will be able to POAS the end of the month! I would be 100% fine with that!! -
Ok ladies, so I'm either 9 or 10 dpo today (not exactly sure) and just noticed some light brown spotting - implantation bleeding maybe? Combined with the nausea, that makes me wonder if maybe our timing wasn't as bad as I thought. If anyone had implantation bleeding before, how long after did you get a BFP? I had some at 12-13 dpo with my son and got my BFP on 14 dpo but this is definitely earlier than last time (if that's even what it is).
-
@delight: that gives me hope! I'll keep you guys posted.
-
@SeptMomma12: I got implantation bleeding at 9-10 and 11dpo. I was just convinced AF was being stupid so I didn't take a test until 16 dpo after the spotting had stopped for a number of days. Based on my hcg that day I probably would have had a positive (at least a squinter) by 9dpo.
-
@Tidybee: Thanks! I may not be able to resist testing tomorrow morning then, but I will try to hold out a few more days!
-
@loki: Looks like I may POAS again on the 31st. I am starting my first round of Clomid on Monday, and if all goes as the Dr suggests that will be 10dpo...Early, I know, but which of us doesn't start to POAS on day 10...now let's be honest?!
-
@SeptMomma12: No experience, but yeah - I'm pretty sure if you're having implantation bleeding you could get a bfp shortly after, like a day?
-
@SeptMomma12: I read online that implantation generally occurs around 9 days after ovulation, so that would mean you still need to wait to test!! I even found an implantation calculator. Who knows if its accurate, but google it!
@Bigskygirl: ha. So true! I was supposed to wait until tomorrow to poas but I started Tuesday! Ha
-
@hellobeeboston: Thanks! I will probably end up testing tomorrow before we go away for the weekend. Trying to hold off but like @Bigskygirl, it's impossible!
-
@Bigskygirl: Good luck on Clomid. Let me know how it goes. I will most likely be starting that in a few months. There seems to be a wide range in how it's used and the monitoring that goes along with it.
-
@loki: @SeptMomma12: @hellobeeboston: After some consideration tonight, I suppose that I will remain off of the POAS calendar...we all should really wait until at least 12dpo. Implantation generally takes place between days 6-10, with the most common day being 9dpo. Under those circumstances, the earliest a test could detect HCG would be 11-12dpo. This is the reality. Womp womp.
-
@Hoots: I am happy to let you know. At this point, I can say that I will be taking 50mg on days 5-9, with no extra monitoring. I have been advised to BD every other day from day 12 through day 20. My Dr prefers that his patients not use OPKs. He also suggested that if I feel like continuing to take my BBT, I do so vaginally (which I already do) because it reduces some error.
-
AF finally showed this morning. I knew this was coming for a few days, so it feels good to be able to move on to the next cycle.
-
@auggiefrog: It's sucks that she came, but lots of baby luck next cycle!
-
@Bigskygirl: I never let realism stop me from peeing on things! And I guess I must have been a day 6 or 7 implanted, because I did get my
at 8 dpo (with CM, opks and temps all agreeing about the o date). On the other hand, it is very likely that a bfp won't show until later, and day after day of negative tests did get me down in some past cycles.
-
I'm pretty sure i'm out this month. That spotting turned into full blown heavy period yesterday and i took a test this morning (although im only 9dpo) and it was stark white negative. Apparently my luteal phase is only 7 days (with a 32 day cycle) so now i have to wait another 23 days before i O again. So frusterated. I think ill get some Vitex tonight and start taking that to see if it helps at all.
-
@MissLace: Sorry you're out. I'm not sure if it helped or not, but I've been taking Vitex along with drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea to lengthen my LP. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or it helped but my LP was 13 days instead of 11 days this month.
-
@hellobeeboston: ssorry honey! I hope a BFP is on the horizon. Enjoy your drink!!!
-
@auggiefrog: @MissLace:
Sorry you're out ladies. This has been a cruddy start to August! We need some more BFPs!! Cd 4 here and anxious to get started again. Feeling positive about this cycle but trying to to get my hopes too high. I got my bfp the first cycle I tried with DS. But that was 2 years ago and I'm 36 so my fertility could have changed. Anyone else in their 30s?
-
Anyone have trouble getting things back in order after weaning?
I'm CD18 and have had negative OPK for the last 5 days. My last cycle was 39 days, but I was still breastfeeding then. I've been having some mild spotting and cramping the last few days and have no idea what is going on. Ugh, I just want things to get back to normal down there.
-
@Bigskygirl: you know your body and should test when it feels right. That said, I got a strong bfp with DS at 10dpo so it's certainly possible. I have short cycles though and quite sure I implanted on 7 dpo because of a temp dip and cramping.
Why does your doctor not want patients to use OPKs?
-
@JennyG: yes. I actually had a normal cycle before weaning (came back 9 months PP) but then when I weaned it went haywire. Still not quite normal apparently and I weaned at the end of March.
-
@auggiefrog: thanks for the tip! I'll get both vitex and red raspberry leaf tonight. I'm also going to start charting with temps this cycle along with the OPKs that i was already doing and maybe get some preseed too. figured i might as well pull out all the stops next time around.
-
@MissLace: yes I think that's a good idea (charting) if you are having a short LP. Then you have more information about what is going on.
I just ordered new CB smiley OPKs, FRERs, and Conceive plus. Hefty bill on amazon but hoping it will get us that bfp!!
-
Tested this morning at 12dpo...
