@Kaohinani: I almost wish I hadn't given up temping because it was something to watch daily... But I had to get the neurosis in check
The temp spike is within a range that could lead to triphasic though. Fingers crossed!

Help... I'm over analyzing again. When do you think I ovulated? Positive OPK was on CD13 but no obvious temp shift until CD20 (or CD19 - Ava didn't read my data that day). I was assuming CD14 for ovulation but that doesn't really make sense with my temps.

@skinnycow: did you keep taking opks after you didn't get a temp shift?
If not either a you had a really long delayed rise
Or b you geared up to o, didn't and then your body tried again around cd 19

@skinnycow: I'm looking at your data and I think, but I'm not certain, that you may have had a LH surge on the 13th but never actually ovulated SO your body made a second attempt to ovulate by giving you a surge around the 19th and you actually Ov'ed on the 20th. π€ I hope that was even remotely helpful.

@MamaBear87: Ha! Just read your response to skinnycow after responding to her inquiry ... I'm glad someone else saw what I did on her chart. .

@Kaohinani: @MamaBear87: Thanks - I considered that I ovulated late but my CM didn't make sense for that option... no idea what's going on. I'm hoping I ovulated earlier than CD20 because the last time we BD was CD14.
Also just took a FRER and I definitely see a line but can't tell if it's an evap.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@skinnycow: You are welcome. I'm keeping my F'x that your FRER really is positive! When you test again, get back to us ... I LOVE seeing those BFPs (even when they aren't mine)!
P.S. Since sperm can live in the female body for 5/6 days, If you BD on the night 4 or 5 days before you ACTUALLY ovulated, there is still a fair possibility of pregnancy. My daughter was conceived four days before my actual OV date (over 10 years ago! Lol).

@skinnycow: feel free to post pictures, we're all about over analyzing squinters too
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@skinnycow: I can tell what you're talking about, and you're right it's hard to tell. I would say that since you said it showed up in 5 min that you have a good shot at having a better line in 2 days.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@skinnycow: I see what you mean ... it is not "picture quality." π€ If I use photo inversion on my phone, I can "kinda - see" the line. I think it would be much better with FMU, though. I can't wait to see some progression!

@Sams Mom: @Kaohinani: It's so light! I'll definitely test again in the morning! I'm not getting my hopes up, though!

@skinnycow: I think I see something, but I know how hard it is to get squinters in a photo. FX you get a darker line tomorrow!

Rant -- Please, bear with me:
Argh!!!! . So the little devil that sits on my shoulder (holding a HPT) and argues with the angel (of reason) on the other got to me this morning. I hate that SOB!
. I'm only 9 dpo and had reasoned that even if I implanted 6 dpo (earliest) only the faintest HCG would be in my system by 7/8 dpo and since 9 dpo is the most common implantation date; there is no point to POAS until 11/12 dpo (* 12 being the day of due AF). Well, since my BBT is still high and, if stays for another day, will be considered "triphasic," I listened to the shoulder-bastard
with the HPT and, of course, no surprise - BFN. I'll be honest, I had no (if any expectation) that it would be positive since after 30 cycles that is what I've been seeing, but, man, I'm frustrated with myself for having no self-will to wait once I saw a glimmer of hope.
. On the upside, it is still early so, I suppose, anything could happen.

I tested with a wondfo this morning (that was my only FRER) and same thing... something that could be a line but I can't tell if I'm imagining it or it's an evap.
pear / 1728 posts
@Kaohinani: I'm sorry! Testing early is such a mind game! It's still early, though.

Well AF arrived today, so it was a CP. Thank you for all your support ladies. I wish the best for all of you this month!
persimmon / 1121 posts
@Kaohinani: I understand. I have zero self control when it comes to testing early but the negatives are so disappointing. I hope you get your BFP soon.
@skinnycow: I can see something on there. My Wondfos still look like that and I got a very clear line on a frer. Test again with a FRER tomorrow? I hope you get clarity soon. Limbo is hard.
@Jessiemuller88: Iβm so sorry.

Iβve been silently following along this month. But, I just got this today at 10dpo.
pear / 1728 posts
@Jessiemuller88: I'm sorry
@Aria: Ugh, when did Wondfos get so difficult to read?! I bought some FRERs and I'll take one in the morning if I can exercise some control and not test today.
@dc yoga bee: Congrats!

@dc yoga bee: Congrats!
@skinnycow: right?! I donβt remember them being this awful my last pregnancy
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@skinnycow: I can barely see it but it's there!!! Yay! Go out and get a FRER for tomorrow. I can't wait to see a nice, bold BFP from you!
@Aria: Thank you for the supportive comment. . I felt SO in control this month UNTIL that 2nd
third tier raised temperature (and my third day craving Sauerkraut for breakfast ... Yup, you read that correctly, Sauerkraut! And I normally hate the stuff!) and I caved. Served me right. Lol.
@DC Yoga Bee: OMG, CONGRATULATIONS!!! . That is DEFINITELY a nice positive for 10 dpo!
@jessiemuller88: I am so truly sorry.
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@Kaohinani: I have such little self control when testing, but it's totally still early!
@Jessiemuller88: I'm so sorry, thats just terrible!
@dc yoga bee: congratulations lady!
@skinnycow: I don't know what's with wondfo lately, I've seen posts across all boards I'm on mentioning they're not picking anything up until way late. Keep us posted!

@Sams Mom: I think there may be something in the water or air, OR maybe [simply] "March babies" will be lucky after all because of all of these lovely ladies who their got BFPs this month!!!
Someone needs to share the "magic" water or send some lucky baby-dust my way! No joke!
grapefruit / 4770 posts
Thanks everyone! We saw double rainbows tonight on the way home from dinner. Maybe thatβs a good sign! Pulling for everyone.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@dc yoga bee: That is absolutely perfect - A rainbow for a lucky March baby! Awe! I miss seeing rainbows ... I used to see them all the time when I lived in Hawaii. (Haven't seen one in the last 4 years since moving to the mainland.) Anyway, what a great story to tell in years to come!

My BBT chart went triphasic! I have only had a triphasic chart a few other times before... including my pregnancies. I am cautiously optimistic and keep hoping my temps stay elevated.
(Affixed is the comparative chart of this month and last's).
-- Does anyone else have a promising chart, news, or any squinters to view (those are, hands down, my favorite! )?
pear / 1728 posts
@Kaohinani: Fingers crossed - triphasic is a good sign!
BFN this morning. Unfortunately it looks like my other tests were evaps. I'm guessing I'm out this month.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@skinnycow: Awe, I'm so sorry to read that the others were evaps. . I know it's stupid of me to ask, but, are you absolutely certain? I mean, you got "evaps" on two different kinds of HPT on multiple tests. Statistically, that puts you in a better position than not. Of course, I, in no way, am trying to give you false hope if it really is a BFN, but, remember, until AF comes, there is still a possibility of a BFP.

Took another test this morning and it is lighter than two days ago. This sucks.
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@Aria: Oh, hon, I'm so sorry. It may actually be nothing to worry about though so try and keep positive. Did you use the powder room in the middle of night or have a drink during the night/towards morning? When do you see your OBGYN for a beta? Keep us updated and I'm going to keep my F'x for you!
pear / 1728 posts
@Kaohinani: I was really hopeful because I thought it was unlikely to get evaps on two different brands but the one this morning was definitely negative. I was spotting this morning too but my period isn't due for a few days so who knows...
@Aria: I'm sorry
