I am trying to justify testing early. At this point, I could be anywhere from 4-7dpo today.
TWW is getting to me.
-
@artsyfartsy: I tested today at possibly 8dpo. There could have been a bit of a squinter, or it could have just been my imagination haha. But I was driving to my dads and ended up at my grandparents, so that's keeping me positive. ( I get really bad baby brain hshah)
-
@MrsB2012: Oooh exciting!!! I lol'd at the baby brain moment. I've been having some too lately.
-
@bloomingflower: sorry. See you in February!
-
@artsyfartsy: I would try and wait until you are between 9-12 dpo ...so 5 more days! If you test any sooner you will likely drive yourself crazy wondering whether or not you're actually X days vs. Y days
-
Ugh AF is a week late but BFN. Which means my body is not working properly again
-
My temp STILL hasn't risen. This is the longest pre-ovulation cycle I've ever experienced... I have been very carefree this entire cycle, but it's definitely wearing on me now... I really hope to see a rise tomorrow.
-
@wheres_c: @narwhal: same here. I ovulated on CD 29 this cycle. DPO 14 today. Just waiting for AF to start so I can try again.
-
@marley: oh no! I am on CD 27... it's insanity! My cycles are generally CD 29-34
-
@marley: sorry that you're going through it too! I have a consult at my gyn for Friday, but I had scheduled that with the intention that AF would be done by then
if she's here I will have to cancel.
-
Thank you everyone for the support!! Yeah it sucks but hopes for Feb. I guess I say that every month but its true. I will be on Month 9 of trying.
I hope to see alot of BPFs on this Jan board!! -
I hope everyone's bodies start cooperating soon and produce O or AF. Sorry there are so many of us who are having a frustrating cycle.
I'm hanging out at 6dpo here. I still plan on testing on Thursday (10 dpo). I'm trying to symptom spot but I seriously feel no signs of pregnancy right now. I know it's still early but the crazy ttc lady in me is worried about it.
-
@narwhal: @wheres_c: my cycles were 30 days. O on day 16 with 14-day luteal phase. I took b-complex and other supplements this cycle along with my regular multi and they extended my follicular phase by 13 days. It sucked. I've ditched the supplements and I'm hoping I'll go back to normal.
-
@MrsB2012 @litebrite: fingers crossed!
@narwhal @bloomingflower: sorry, I know how you feel
So I got my lab results back. I talked to the nurse on the phone last week and she said everything came back normal. I asked for numbers, and she said she would mail me the results. I got them yesterday and my progesterone was 5.5...isn't that really low?! Especially since I was on Clomid? (I was 8 dpo when tested).
I think it's time to find a new doctor. I love the actual doctor, but I have issues with how the office communicates, and if I'm going to be on Clomid I fee like I should be monitored.
-
I'm sorry everyone is struggling with their cycle. I hope we get some BFPs soon!
-
@MrsB2012: Any updates on your squinter? I'm eagerly awaiting the first
of the month, too!
-
@Litebrite: no, I don't think I'll test today. I go crazy looking at tests and it's not like it would be much clearer today at what I think is only 9dpo. I think I was only seeing where the line goes, not a line haha. I'm trying to hold off until tomorrow at the earliest. Plus I only have 1 cheapie left, and I don't want to use an frer this early. I can't believe we haven't have a bfp yet this month ( unless I'm forgetting one)
-
@MrsB2012: Yea it's a smart move to hold off. I've totally been there looking at a shadow of a line wondering wth it means. It can drive you nuts. I was just curious!
-
Alright - I have been resisting the temptation to join this board (serious lurker over here), but I am obsessing and need some like-minded ladies to distract me in my TWW. My poor DH can't take the suspense - lol.
Cycle Day:27
TTC Cycle #:2
Ovulation & POAS date: O - 1/1 POAS - 1/15? (if I can wait)
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: Use OPK (positive on 1/1)
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? No, not really - just hoping for a BFP in time for a 2016 BabyBased on all of your expert opinions
When should I POAS? I got my IUD taken out at the end of October, both cycles I have had were exactly 30 days (longer than they were prior to the IUD). I used OPKs the entire last week of December and only got a positive 1 day - on 1/1, which would have been CD 16, which seems late to me, but I am basing that on my cycles pre-IUD.As you can tell from my rambling, I am definitely over-thinking this. Thank you for indulging me
For now I am trying to enjoy my morning coffee and wine on the weekends thinking I won't be having either for a while
-
@FLnative12: Best wishes to you for this month!
I would probably test tomorrow or Wednesday... because by 11/12 DPO you would have a clear picture, but waiting until the 15th is definitely a good idea if you can hold out!
Update... only a SLIGHT rise today... I have this theory that slow rises are from middle of the night ovulation, so I'm hoping I have a big jump tomorrow. FX!

Cheerleader: WHERES_C, PWNSTAR@bloomingflower: so sorry!
@wheres_c: Did I miss your POAS date for the roll call?I think my cycles post FOUR straight years of BC are now irregular. I think I had EWCM the last two days, plus my temps have been mosty high since AF left, infact my highest temp since I started temping! I haven't O'd yet! so frustrating....
-
@Mrs. D: Nope. Body is not cooperating this month. Missed my period so not sure about ovulation. My TSH was 63 when I went to the doctor today
-
@wheres_c: what is TSH? I haven't seen that acronym before.
-
@Mrs. D: It measures thyroid function. Women with no thyroid problems and women trying to get pregnant should have a TSH under 2
@wheres_c: Wow!! You are definitely hypothyroid! Have you been diagnosed before? Getting your levels is an easy fix! That is probably why your AF hasn't come or delayed O. Get on levothyroxin asap!
@narwhal:
for a big rise tomorrow!!!@mrsb2012:
@flnative12: So exciting!! Welcome and
So... My coworker just told me she was pregnant with her 2nd child. The kicker is she accidentally forgot a couple BC pills and now.... Pregnant!! I am so happy for her, but it definitely stings a little. 17 months and I still can't even get my Oing in check! Sorry for my rant! I know it will happen in God's timing, but sometimes it just stinks!
-
@Winnie13: yeah I've been dx for years. I used to take 175mg synthroid but my dr wanted to try dessicated thyroid. Yeaaaah not for me. Back to synthroid and cytomel and super annoyed I agreed to the switch.
-
@wheres_c: oh, jeez!! Yea, that medicine is definitely not for you! Hopefully it won't take long to bring your levels back down once you switch the medicine! It's crazy what the thyroid control!
I'm on the same dose! 175 synthroid and 5 cytomel. My doc is having me half a pill once a week. My levels were .3 and causing a lot of my infertility. This new dosage has raised it to .6. Hoping that number does the trick!!
-
@Winnie13: sorry you're going through this. It's super frustrating. Hugs.
-
@marley: Thanks girl!! I have true peace knowing God will bless us, but some days are better than others. So happy for my friend, but it just stings a little!!
January has seemed to be a crazy month for cycles so far! I'm read to see some BFP's!!!
-
Spotting which will probably turn into AF at any moment. This is only 10dpo so a day shorter than my last luteal phase. Lameness all around. I need to be finished breastfeeding this weekend as I go back to work. I can't BF as I won't see the kids the days when I work. Hopefully that helps next cycle.
-
@MrsB2012: Aw no, I'm sorry.
I am still breastfeeding my LO nightly and I also am wondering if it will affect my fertility. How do you plan on weaning?
-
@MrsB2012: Oh man, I'm sorry
Good luck weaning and going back to work, and I wish you next cycle!
-
I wasn't going to post here yet as it's only Cycle 1, but I feel antsy already. This is not good, ha. It took us about a year to conceive my daughter and I am so worried that we just got "lucky" and I have an undiagnosed problem.
Cycle Day: 18
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation & POAS date: O - 1/11 (I think) POAS - 1/23?
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: OPKs... not sure timing was great.
For Fun: Did you make any resolutions other than to get a BFP? Not really! I guess be better at meal planning.Good luck to everyone who has yet to test!
-
@MrsB2012: Ugh I'm sorry!
@jlm22: Welcome and good luck!!
So I could be 7-9dpo today but I'm calling myself 7dpo. That's what feels right to me. Really crampy today and really really tired. Waiting impatiently for Thursday!
-
@artsyfartsy: Thank you! Good luck! You are better than me... I would be peeing on a stick starting now - I'm an addict. Cramps and tired are good signs
-
@artsyfartsy: I'm at 8dpo. Super bloated and crampy, but nothing that couldn't also be PMS. Im going to try realllly hard to hold off until Thursday to test.
-
@babypugs: I was breast feeding my other daughter about 3x a day and got pregnant right away with #2. Right now I'm only feeding one session right after she eats dinner. I'll just stop that session tonight probably, so that I'm not engorged when I go back to work. I just cut down 1 feed at a time, usually about a month or so between cutting down feeds.
I'm only having a tiny bit of brown spotting and only when I wipe. I'm trying to be realistic that it's just AF, especially as I've never had implantation bleeding, but it's hard not to try and be hopeful. I checked my last couple charts, and I've had spotting the day before AF the last 2 cycles, but it's been red. Spotting is a new thing for me since the return of my cycles PP.
-
@jlm22: Good luck, hope your time on the boards is short!
-
@MrsB2012: Thank you! I spotted when I was pregnant with my daughter (and also a few cycles before that as well) Fingers crossed for you.
-
@Litebrite: Yeah I keep trying to remind myself that I'm most likely PMSing. TWW takes foreveeeeeeer
