@LindsayInNY: haha I didn't POAS at work, POASed before work (different time zone, over here). I've told my work bestie, mainly cause I may need her to cover for me, especially if the morning sickness hits. That's it for now, other than DH of course. So terrified of anything going wrong.
You guys are so sweet. you all.

Ok, can I please just bitch for a moment about my stupid messed up body, because it is driving me insane?
I'm sitting here at CD20 today. Last week on CD11 and CD12 my CBEF monitor gave me peak days, plus I had EWCM. Yay, right? But no, my temps didn't really back it up, they were looking slightly ok with rising until Sunday when they dropped, and FF refused to ever give me CH. So I've kept up with doing the digital OPKs every afternoon, just in case, especially since now the monitor isn't asking for any more sticks. Not a lot of hope with the OPKs, since the last two cycles I never got any positives, but now I just got a freakin' smiley face positive! You know, only one day before my 21 day progesterone test tomorrow, great. If you would like to see the mess: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3fb0cd
I'm pretty sure this is just going to end up being yet another cycle where my body tries to ovulate, doesn't and then tries again, also unsuccessfully. So damn frustrating!!!!
Sorry, just needing to unload and have nowhere else to do it. Hubby doesn't even want to know whats going on with my cycles, to 'keep the pressure off'.
On the plus side, this means I can drink wine tonight?

@SweetMamaM: Oh man, even worse!!! I'm due to POAS next week - during the week with my inlaws staying with us!! Not sure how that's gonna work, LOL!

@Sprite: Sorry to hear you're frustrated! Since your chart isn't showing a temp rise, and since you got the positive OPK, you haven't yet O'd, but should in the next day or so. So have a good time tonight Also, the progesterone test should actually be on 7dpo, not cd21 (unless you O perfectly on cd14 every month). Hope that helps!

@Mrs.Someone: Thanks, I thought the Progesterone test was supposed to be done at 7DPO too, but that's the date my doctor scheduled it for. I think she was doing it more of a "first step to see if you're even ovulating" more than anything else, since she knows I haven't been getting positive OPKs the past few cycles. I guess I should call them to see if they still want me to come in tomorrow at all!

@luckypenny: Well I think I might give in! Due to some outside circumstance my supply has taken a huge hit & DH said to drink some of my MMT.. which of course isn't okay in pregnancy so he said to go take my test. Since I'm now around 13 dpo there's no reason to think I couldn't get a bfp if I was infact pg. Idk... if we were "trying" I wouldn't think twice about drinking it under the "possibility" of being pregnant....
Wouldn't it be like the "drink till it's pink" concept if it was negative & I drank some tea for my supply?..

@runsyellowlites: okay DO IT!!! LO that way I can live vicariously through you. I not sure of the specifics about MMT. I haven't taken it but I'd assume like anything it's fine until "pink". DD was a surprise and I was taking a few " no no" prescription meds & I didn't find out until I was 6 weeks and she's okay

@Bao: I wasn't going too but I think I might for peace of mind. P hasn't been feeling well & in doing so she kind of bit me while nursing the other day... enough so that to avoid infection I've had to stop nursing her from the left breast. WELL just one day of pumping only (which I was only able to do a couple times) & my supply has already taken a huge hit (pumped 10oz from that side yesterday & only like 5 today), plus the "good" side isn't used to being the "sole" supplier. I really want/need to drink some of my MMT BUT if I'm pregnant I "can't". If it comes back neg I'll drink a bit (maybe 2-3 glasses) today to try & bump my supply.. if it's positive I'll know I"m going to need to figure something out quick to salvage my supply! =/

@runsyellowlites: yeah I would test again for peace of mind

@Bao: Like I really need an excuse to poas. lol. This time I actually get to blame DH b/c he suggested it after he told me to drink my tea & I informed him it wasn't safe in pregnancy. See, his fault! bah!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22276 posts
@runsyellowlites: bummer I'm sorry. I can't remember is this your first month trying? Sorry...bad memory!
coconut / 8305 posts
@luckypenny: @Bao: Yea, boo. It's technically our 2nd but we started late last month. I still only drank 1 glass bc I had such wonky O symptoms. It may be naive but until af arrives I'm holding out. If we don't get pg this month we're taking some time off till late summer.

@runsyellowlites: boo. Sorry lady.
@luckypenny: sounds like there may be lots of us on the August/September thread. I hope not, but if so, I'll be here. I have long cycles, so that is when I will be back in the game!
