@alison206: I'm going to stop charting next cycle. Is it less stressful for you? My DH and I are under a lot of stress right now, and we feel like the temp taking/charting is adding to it...
-
@bookworm: did not charting reduce stress? Yes and no. Yes because my whole day doesn't revolve around my temp. I know I O between Cd 20 and 32 (pretty confident in Cd 23) so we are DTD every other day for Cd 18 to Cd 34. It is more fun this way and I'm not checking ff for data 30x a day. No because I don't have a chart go check lol. My cycles are still figuring themselves out after a mc so I did like knowing specifics.
-
@alison206: That makes sense
Thanks! Good luck to the both of us with this more fun way 
-
@MrsCastro: Could I be a rollover to 10/26, please. That's my birthday, so I hope I get a treat, not a trick!
-
I am ridiculous, I POAS this morning- 10 DPO. I knew I wouldn't be able to wait until Tuesday. BFN, way too early, why do I do this to myself?
-
I have to admit... this is the first month where I'm genuinely super excited and super nervous to POAS. The first two months I was more like... cool, trying for a baby! Let's see how it goes! Now...I've been tearing up at the thought of getting one!... so emotional... gah!! I'd like to label it as a 'sign' but really, the stress this month has been unreal and I think I'm just a little unhinged
How are y'alls moods today??
-
@AnonMom: I did the same thing, on 9DPO and 10 DPO. BFN. But at 11DPO I got a BFaintP! And a few days later, a REALLY BFP.
-
@nodakiddo: I am hoping for the same! I should really know better...with my first pregnancy I had negatives on 9dpo and 11dpo and then faint positive on dpo12.
-
@Anonmom: please, I tested at 9 dpo, and 10 dpo so far with BFNs all around. You're not alone. Today is 11 dpo for me!
-
@chibee: me too! 11dpo, bfn. Fingers crossed for us tmrw!

Went to the doc today for test results and she got me to do a preg test. I told her it would be negative (big temp drop today) and it was. Boooooo. And then AF came today - two days early. Out before I even began. But then I realised that I get to be in it again! Whoohoo - that's never happened to me before. So, @MrsCastro can you roll me over to Oct 31? Halloween POAS baby!!
-
@Grace: done...
-
@Grace: you made my heart jump for a minute there reading your post... thought you were going to say it was positive!
@MrsCastro: put me down for POAS October 26th please
-
@MrsCastro: Rolldown - heehee. Thanks!
@Rachel: Haha! I don't think I would have calmed down enough to write that yet, if it was positive!
-
@Grace: you have the best attitude! Yay or Halloween!
-
@chibee: I'm telling you - it's because things are moving. It's so much better to go have tests done and look forward to that, than it is to try the same thing every month and expect it to work.
-
@Grace: well, I did hear somewhere that the definition of insanity is repeating the same actions over and over again expecting different results every time. Not saying that you were insane! But very happy that things are moving forward for you and you will get answers and results!!
-
Well AF showed up a freakin week early! WTF?! Showing up late - sure, but I've never had it show up early. I called the doctor's office this morning and they want me to come in on Oct 25(!) and check things out. In the mean time, a super shortened cycle means I get to POAS again this month. AF isn't "due" until Nov 3rd, but I'll probably test at 12DPO which puts me to POAS on Oct 29th. Here's to another opportunity to have a Halloween announce to the hive...
-
@Alivoo01: arrrh how fustrating....i will put you down as a "Rolldown"....
-
arhh...i feel i am getting sick...i feel miserable...gonna go home and take some meds to crash before the real marathon begins...
how are you ladies doing?
-
I didn't put in a test date because I was supposed to POAS today. AF arrived, so on to the next cycle!!
-
May I join you ladies? I haven't posted here in so long... but we're going to try again this month, so here I am!
My estimated O date: Not 100% sure, because my cycles have been cray for the past few months. I'm thinking between October 8 - 12
POAS/AF date: Going to *try* to hold out for August 25
TTC cycle: I don't even know. I had a CP in May of 2011. We tried/NTNT unsuccessfully for about 6 months after that. We took a long break from trying/thinking about family planning, and now we're ready to try again. So long story short, I guess we can call this attempted cycle 8?
Trying anything new this month: I have a new OB/GYN (my old dr left the practice). He prescribed Progesterone suppositories, because he thinks I have a luteal phase defect. (Lots of spotting before and after AF, which is why I went to see him in the first place!) So, I guess we'll see how that goes. I also bought pre-seed and I'm back on board with using OPKs. Basically I'm very curious to see how everything pans out this month.
Fingers crossed for everyone!
-
@Pepper: Welcome!!
Best of luck to you this month!
-
@Pepper: Good luck and baby dust to you!
@MrsCastro: Thanks girl. I'm so frustrated!!! At least the doctor agreed to take me in for an examination even if it's weeks away. Maybe this second opportunity to POAS in October is a good omen? It's getting harder and harder to be optimistic...
-
I 'm out...AF showed up 4 days early. Not gonna lie, pretty upset. However, it looks like I get to test again on Halloween! So, it's on to cycle 4 of trying, and a new POAS date of 10/31, if you could be so kind as to roll me down.
-
ugh sorry for everyone out early, but yay for people being able to come back for the end of the month!
-
@Bookworm @Alivoo01: Thanks! Sorry about early AF. I'm glad you can at least test again this month, and not have to wait until next.
-
@Pepper: Welcome! I have a LPD too, and I'm hoping to get progesterone prescribed at my Dr appt in a couple weeks. Good luck and baby dust to you!
-
@Rachel: Thank you! Good luck to you too. I hope they're able to help you at your Dr appointment!
-
@Bookworm: what's up with AF showing her ugly face EARLY everywhere?! So not cool - sorry it happened to you as well!
-
@Grace: Well said, I totally agree!!!
-
@Rachel: Yay for POAS date twins! Hope we both have positives!
@Ambular1025: The 25th is your birthday, correct? Are you still POAS that day? If so, I hope you get a great present!!!
-
@Alivoo01: I know!! What the heck!! Totally lame, at least we get a second chance this month
-
Yesterday I worked on the OB floor and was working with the newborn babies and I was dying of jealousy. Why can't I just get pregnant? So frustrating. Just had to mope for a sec
-
@anonysquire: *hugs* I watched an episode of the Office last night, and Pam was pregnant and crying over some stupid ad or something and I was like MAN I WANT TO BE THAT. So silly, but I hear ya.
-
@anonysquire: Aw!! *hugs*
-
@nodakiddo: Congrats!
-
@anonysquire: aww hugs!
And as for me... BF stupid N this morning. Its so disappointing and heartbreaking....Urggggghh AF due any day now. This sucks. I'm gonna start charting now though. So here's to 3rd cycle lucky.
-
Ugh well AF showed 8 days early. Yup 8 days. FF said I was just gearing up to O and the bitch arrived. So I guess I'm rollingdown to around Halloween!
Thanks! Good luck to the both of us with this more fun way
