    @marley: I'm sorry! It's super frustrating, but don't lose hope. You may have just been off on your O date because of all the confusion with temps! Keep us posted!!
    @Litebrite: You definitely O'd!!! That's awesome! My temp usually spikes a half degree or more after Oing.
    @artsyfartsy: you crack me up!! Love your memes!!

    I'm on CD 3. Just started Femara. I'm really excited to get back into the swing of things with work. I'm a teacher and the kiddos come back tomorrow! Can't wait! Keeps my mind off baby stuff, especially when I have such a long wait! I normally O around CD25. Praying Femara makes me O sooner!

    @FaithFertility: Sorry girl! It's always so disappointing!! Do you have a plan for this cycle? Hopefully next cycle is it!

    @babypugs: @pwnstar:@Nutella: @Winnie13: thanks, guys. Right now I just want AF to come so I can start a fresh cycle. This time, I will only take my multi-vitamin and DHA. I've chucked my bottle of B Complex out the window (not really). DH wants to BD every other 2-3 days for the entire cycle to be safe. I'm exhausted and stressed just thinking about it.

    @marley: it's always good to have a plan!! Do you plan on temping? It could help cut down on the BDing!! TI is exhausting. It takes all the romance out of it!!

    @Winnie13: yes, I'm going to keep temping even though I had the temping snafu this cycle. I told DH we can stop when I get a rise, lol!

    @marley: When I first started temping I didn't know it had to be at the same time... I had the most inconsistent temps ever! Hehe! It looked like I O'd 5 times in one cycle!

    @Faithfertiltiy: Aw! What grade?? I'm in K. I bet they were so excited to see you!! It's really the best!

    So I'm not sure if I've ovulated yet or not. I'm in the vicinity of it based on CM. But usually I have a lot of cramping before and after O. I had SOME cramping yesterday but not enough to think I O'd. No cramping at all today but still noticeable CM.

    I had a 26 day cycle last month and my app predicted that I'd O on the 3rd (CD13) which I'm pretty sure I didn't. Today would be a "regular" ovulation time (CD15) but no cramping.

    We've been getting a lot of BD in so I guess it doesn't matter. Just wish I knew!

    Ahhh this cycle is frustrating. 6dpo and 7dpo BFN. But today 8dpo lots of cramping. AF due Friday (for 27 day cycle or Sat for 28 days). My O was late this month CD 16 into CD17, and short window between expected af and o. AF is supposed to come on 11DPO (fri.) or 12 DPO (Sat.). I am trying to wait to retest on Fri. But it is hard. I think this being the first month of Clomid, I have no idea what to expect.
    So on the emotional rollercoaster I stay.

    FX everyone, hoping lots of BPFs this month for you all!

    Pretty sure I'm out ladies! AF is heavy AF today and I just can't even call this spotting anymore don't know what on earth happened but my body likes keeping me on my toes. Am thanks for all the support & sending lots of luck to you all this month!

    @Mrs. D: Aw, awesome! I taught 1st last year (looped with my k babies). Hoping to be back in 1st next year! Thank you for doing this!! It may change depending on when I O. Hoping it does!
    @Nutella: Sorry girl! It's always disappointing. Hoping for you this cycle! Are you changing anything?
    @bloomingflower: FX!! Clomid can make you an emotional roller coaster for sure!! Hoping you get a BFP!

    @artsyfartsy: As long as you have your bases covered you should be good! It will make the tww a little more painful if you want to test early though

  20. Litebrite

    @Nutella: Im sorry I know the feeling of holding out hope that it's just spotting, and then having to admit defeat when AF comes full force. I hope you get your bfp next month

    @Mrs. D: Thanks for doing roll call! I couldn't bring myself to do it from my phone. I'll probably change my test date since I ovulated earlier this month, but I'll wait until I get crosshairs from FF before changing it.

    @bloomingflower: Good luck! It sounds like you should have an answer this weekend.

    Temp drop a bit and brown spotting. Hopefully AF will be here soon so I can still POAS this month!

    @marley: I'm sorry

    Major cramping today at CD16. Mostly backaches. Idk if this is ovulation cramping or post ovulation cramping. Going to try and BD for the next few days if we can to be sure. I just found out my sister is pregnant and if I conceive this cycle we will be exactly 10 days apart. That will be fun

    Late to jump in since I was away for the holidays!!

    Cycle Day: 26
    TTC Cycle #: 7
    Ovulation & POAS date: 12/25 or 12/28, POAS 1/8 although I poas this morning and BFN
    next o date 1/22, POAS 1/31
    Baby #: 2
    Your plan this month: last cycle was my first cycle with an RE, I did clomid cd5-9, gonal f injections, trigger/ovidrel on cd12 with TI on cd12 and cd13. I got BFN this morning so I am pretty sure I'm out this cycle, but I am not supposed to test until Friday, although I doubt i'll get a BFP after a stark white bfn this morning.
    Next cycle will likely be the same plan. As long and DH is on board.
    For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Nope, I was going to do some funny ones like: take more naps, sleep in longer.. but nah.

    Good luck everyone I really wish you all BFP's

    @Ajsmommy: I don't think a bfn right now means you're out!

  27. FaithFertility

    @Ajsmommy: Same I don't think your totally out!

    @Ajsmommy:

    So that spotting? Just that one time in the morning. Nothing since. All AF symptoms are gone. It's almost like my body is shutting down for good.

    @marley: maybe implantation bleeding?!

  31. Winnie13

    kiwi / 501 posts

    @marley: Def could be implantation!! Was it a big temp drop? Check tomorrow to see if it rises a bit!!

    @cheesehead: @Winnie13: at 16dpo? Doubt it. Lol.

  33. Winnie13

    kiwi / 501 posts

    @marley: Well... That does seem a little off... Lol!! Are you 100% you O'd when you did? Any reason why you would have a super light AF? Very strange! I would call the doc!!

  34. Litebrite

    cherry / 174 posts

    @marley: wow that is so weird! I would see where your temps go from here. It is a possibility it could be implantation bleeding. But I agree with winnie13 that if it doesn't resolve itself soon you should call the doctor

  35. Litebrite

    As for me, I got crosshairs this morning! The first time in many months that were solid lines and not dotted. So I'm currently 3 DPO.

    Even if I don't get a positive this month I still won't consider it a failure. I think we did A really good job considering I ovulated 2 to 8 days earlier than I expected to. I also learned how to use OPK's and check my CP and they both correlated well with ovulation. So I think were in a better position to try again next month.

    Hopefully I'll get knocked up this go around but if not I want to have it in writing here about the good things about the cycle.

    @Litebrite: @FaithFertility: @marley: Thanks ladies!! Just feeling disappointed.

    Of course it doesn't help that 3 of my friends just announced and 1 college friend just had a baby yesterday........

    ETA: errr, make that FOUR of my friends just announced (forgot one!!)

    @Ajsmommy: yea, those pregnancy/baby announcements can really sting. I quit social media after my mc this summer because it was getting too much.

    kiwi / 706 posts

    @Litebrite: @Winnie13: temp shot up this morning to highest ever. Maybe I'm coming down with something. I wouldn't call the spotting AF. it was one time when I wiped. There's no way I'm pregnant even if I got my O date off. If I don't get AF in 2 days I'll call the doctor. Ugh. I've been so regular!!

    @marley: hmm. I still have hope for you! It's such a crazy cycle when you're so regular for it to not be SOMETHING. You know your body best though! Still have fingers crossed!
