    @MrsMccarthy: I'm so sorry. Be kind to yourself tonight.

    I just realized that this next cycle my POAS date is the same day as my EDD for the miscarriage. It's going to be my kitchen sink cycle, it just has to work.

    @MamaCate: thanks. I'm not at the re yet, just trying to plan how to get there if I need to. I guess I'll proceed with making an appt with the dr to start the ball rolling.

    @Crystal: No problem! Yeah I had an absurdly short LP this cycle so never got anywhere near my supposed POAS date.

    @Crystal @mrsmccarthy: ugghh. Sorry ladies

    Y'all I am truly confused! I was pretty sure AF came yesterday (right on time) since I was having pretty heavy spotting. Well since I was convinced I was out this cycle, I didn't wait to see anything more and just (TMI) threw in a tampon and went about my business. I thought it was strange that I never really started a heavy flow. Was ready to start the clomid tomorrow (cd 3)... but I am not even spotting anymore. The last 6 months I haven't been spotting before my period so this is strange. Since it's a holiday weekend I can't call the RE. I'm so frustrated! What the heck is going on with my body??? Guess I should hold off on the clomid?? This sucks

    @organicmama: So sorry to hear you rhave to wait to start clomid. That totally sucks! Hopefully you can get a hold of your RE Monday and figure out what is going on.

    @organicmama: did you take an hpt just in case?

    @PawPrints: I really hope this next cycle gets you back to normal!

    Good morning and Happy 4th of July! My POAS addiction got the better of me I tested this morning 11DPO thinking maybe the luck of the holiday would help...it didnt. stark white BFN. AF should be here in the next few days. BOO!

    @PawPrints: short LPs suck so bad!

    @organicmama: hmm I feel like low estrogen usually means Rey light periods. Ate your period normally long and heavy? If you didn't ovulate it could also be light because its just breakthrough bleeding. FX that it clears up soon.

    @ctegge0416: I'm right there with ya POAS buddy. I am either 9 or 10DPO and BFN. My temp was still up this morning but I am having brown cm notorious for bringing on me AF!

    Happy 4th everybody!

    @MrsMccarthy @littlek @crystal @Ctegge0416

    Well I certainly resolved the issue of whether I started AF or not. Holy yuck she is definitely here this morning. (of course just as I was about to POAS). So does anyone know if I should start clomid today (3 days after beginning to spot) or Sunday (3 days after really starting)?? Maybe I will see if the RE is taking after hours calls. Ugh, I hate to bother her though!

    @OrganicMama: Does today or Wednesday make more sense for your usual luteal phase? Regardless, I think you'd count today as Day 1 if you only had spotting before. My doc's office and my acupuncturist both say Day 1 is the first day with full, bright red flow before 5pm. Checking in with the RE never hurts though.

    I think I'm in the TWW now. Based on my OPKs and this morning's temp, I think that yesterday was O day. I feel a little bit frustrated and uncertain because generally I have clear, unmistakeable O pain -- not this time. Everything is still really sore and achy from the diagnostic sono. If I had any O pain, it just blended in with everything else that hurts.

    @organicmama: I'm no expert but my belief would be you start Sunday. Good luck with clomid! I am so excited for you!!!

    @lilyofthewest: FX sweetie!

  19. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    Okay I a! The QUEEN of line eye so humor me for a sec but does anyone else see a shadow? I may just want to see it.

    @mrsmccarthy: ummm I see something... but I'm no expert on the wondfos... it's like my eyes can't focus all the way. Eeek! Could it be???

    Thank yall so much for the input. I am going to wait til Sunday to start the clomid. What sucks is we were going to take our 5 yo to Splashtown today but with my new visitor in full effect, I'm thinking Sunday will be a better option for water parks.

    @MrsMccarthy: I think I see something too. I tried to tweak it, but, I see more in the unaltered image than in any tweak. I'm really hoping it is positive for you, but, a little worried the wood grain is causing an optical illusion. Can you post more pics and/or pee on more things?

  22. lilyofthewest

    If you got knocked up on this cycle, when would your due date be?

    Mine would be 3/26 -- which I think would be fun because I could say I was expecting a baby sometime between the ides of March (38w3d) and April Fool's Day (40w6d).

  23. MrsMccarthy

    Its literally the shadowiest shadow ever if there is anything

    @MrsMccarthy: I'm sorry, I don't see anything in that 2nd photo. Hope I'm wrong though

  25. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @lilyofthewest: no problem! Thanks for analyzing. As I said I really can't tell if I see anything either. Sometimes I'm so sure I see a shadow then others times meh. I will hol an take another wondfo later just in case.

    @MrsMccarthy: I took a wondfo at 8dpo this time and had the squinter of all squinters but i could see a shadow. Let it sit for a while and see if it comes up at all.

    @MrsMccarthy: I kind of see something in the first pic. Where is the line supposed to be? I see a line with a splotch next to it.

  28. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @Tidybee: thank you honey. It did sit for a bit. I think it's just my mind playing tricks on me. My gut tells me AF is on the way. I hope not too soon so I can get a longer LP.

    @simplyfelicity: the line near the splotch is not the line I see. That's a different line and not near the positive. But thanks for weighing in sister!

    @MrsMccarthy: I think it might be an evap line,
    I don't see any color. I hope I'm wrong, though!

    @simplyfelicity: I think that's the seam line.

    @organicmama: we are cycle twins! Mine started full force this morning too. Boo for us both. I would think you would start clomid Sunday, but I've never taken it, so I'm no expert.

    @simplyfelicity: no worries!

  32. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @Crystal: I think so too. With my son my nipples were so sore around implantation that you could barely brush them and I would scream!

    My son was such an amazing miracle that I sometimes have a hard time believing I could be so lucky twice. In so stressed out and worried. I know I need to give it a bit more time and let my body continue to adjust post weaning but I feel like I almost wish I could do clomid immediately. I may make my September appointment on Monday so that I can get in there ASAP in tre event that we aren't pregnant the next two cycles.

  33. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @MrsMccarthy: I truly believe that you will get your BFP, and soon. This was your first cycle truly weaning, right? And your LP has already lengthened? I hope that your body is still just regulating and will be ready to accept a little sticky bean at this next cycle.

    @MrsMccarthy: I *might* see a shadow of something. How many dpo are you? Test with fmu tomorrow!

  35. MrsMccarthy

    honeydew / 7295 posts

    @Crystal: you are so sweet. I hipe you are right.I know I it's not fair me wanting another and you are still waiting for yours to take home. Every cycle I wait for your rainbow baby.

    @winniebee: thank you for the support! I'm either 9 or 10DPO. My chart has been a but confusing this month. I got a positive OPK on afternoon of CD16 and it last positive though morning of CD17, it was negative by that afternoon. My temping I dumbly didn't start until cd16 so there's no real info. If my temp doesn't plummet tomorrow morning I will wondfo again but I promised myself I won't waste another FRER on anything less than a true line.

    @MrsMccarthy: you deserve as many children as you want to have! Every month I pray we will all get our BFPs.

    Thank you so much for always being so sweet and supportive.

    @MrsMccarthy: my first BFP with this baby was so light I thought I was imagining it. I almost feel like I see a shadow but I just can't figure it out either way!! Def hold and test or test fmu tomorrow!! Fingers crossed!

    @organicmama: Only count the first day of full flow as AF, not the spotting. So today would be CD1 then.

    nectarine / 2173 posts

    @MrsMccarthy: i don't see a line, but I'm hopeful you might see something darker soon!
    You absolutely shouldn't feel bad yearning for a second child! I certainly never planned to have only one child and would be very sad struggling for a second, whether or not the first was easy!

    @lindsayinny: thanks!

    @crystal: I'm sorry to hear about the miscarriage. I've never heard of the kitchen sink cycle but I love it! Try everything but the kitchen sink to get KU? LOL! Sounds like you'll be one us aggressive ones this coming month.

    @mrsmccarthy: don't feel bad for a second about wanting a second baby! I have been wanting a sibling for my son for three years and want it more badly as he gets older (he is 5). One reason is he is sooo social and loves playing and talking with other kiddos. Also I want him to have family after DH and I are gone! I feel sad when he has to play by himself and sleep by himself. and my nephew is an only child and he always tells me how bored he was, lol!
