    @littlek: No, I couldn't take it this cycle since I was getting progesterone blood work done. It's never usually this early though. The spotting used to start around 8-9DPO, sometimes 10DPO. The only time it was this early was my chemical. I'll have to wait and see if it continues throughout the day I guess...

    So my temp is back up today a bit. Here's my chart (I missed a few days there where my thermometer went missing)

    @LindsayInNY: what are they looking for in your cd21 bloodwork! p levels ( I know), but for what purpose? To see if O happened or not? You'd think since you NEED the P so badly, they'd let you stay on it and use another method (u/s maybe) to conform O instead, so you have have such a short cycle?

    @LindsayInNY: implantation spotting? I've never had it but others have. Fx!!

    @CupQuakeWalk: exactly what I was thinking...

    @LindsayInNY: wish they could have just kept you on the progesterone during your testing

    @LindsayInNY: I would take a HPT Monday morning as well as ask them for betas. If it is implantation and you are pregnant you want to be on P.

    @littlek: Even though DH and I are in full-on break mode now for a couple of months...I did end up Oing on CD 18, and we actually BDd that day (the pressure was off!). I am not hopeful, and actually looking forward to our TTC break...BUT, you can keep me on the POAS schedule with a test day of March 27th, according to FF.

    Good luck to everyone in the TWW right now!

    @LindsayInNY: fingers crossed for implantation! I also spot like you do and I've never had it before 8dpo either so seems like this could be a special case ... Hoping it goes away soon.

    @sandy: I asked about it at the initial appointment and was told it would mess with my bloodwork.

    @littlek: Monday is only 7DPO though so way too early for anything. I had a squinter at 12 or 13DPO with my chemical.

    @bhbee: My hopes aren't up at all but my chemical was the only time it happened this early. I just wasn't expecting it now. Not this early. And 6DPO is really early for implantation even. Oh well, such is life.

    @AmeliaBedilia: happy birthday!! Is DHs new business a new venture? Or along the lines of what he's currently doing?

    @LindsayInNY: FX for implantation! I really hope that's what it was.

    @sandy: your chart reminds me a bit of my BFP chart which had a couple of low temps during the LP. FX for you

    So it looks like FF is saying I ovulated CD15. So I hit 0-3, 0-2, 0-1 and we will BD tomorrow for 0 day. I'm going to skip 0+1 most likely.

    @LindsayInNY: Sending hugs your way!

    @sarahnicole218: Fx!

    @Crystal: Thanks! It's what he's currently doing, just on his own.

    Crazy week ahead. I had off this past week but a working vacation- taxes and other not so fun stuff. Starting back and feel like I need another vacation. I expect to O on Thursday. DH has a work trip Wednesday-Saturday. We should be able to BD Tuesday, but our chances aren't great, particularly with us both totally stressed out. I am waiting to hear when I will do a second interview for a new job- hopefully Thursday. DH finishes his current job in a few weeks, which is great because we will live together full time again! This will be the last cycle of having to deal with that and timing. The downside is we have to have it all packed up in 2 weeks. Aghh!

    @littlek: that sounds pretty awesome on BD timing! I've never been big on O+1, I'm always over it by then.

    @AmeliaBedilia: sorry it's so crazy, but I hope it will help the time pass quickly until you are together again! good luck with the job interview!

    I have an RE appointment tomorrow to see how things are looking after my clomid. nervous it's going to be bad news . . . too many follicles or some other reason we'll have to give up this cycle. I'm just pessimistic right now on everything TTC. at least it's an early appointment so I'll get it over with.

    @bhbee: It's so hard to stay positive when nothing seems to be going our way TTC-wise. Sending positive vibes your way!

    @AmeliaBedilia: happy belated birthday it sounds like even though this cycle might not be great, you are really setting yourselves up for the future!

    I know i am approaching O finally on day 21! But i hardly have any fertile cm when i wipe (only when i check internally like i used to) looking at my chart and tge optimum charts tgey give you as examples really shows how its no wonder we have been trying a while.

    @AmeliaBedilia: @doxielove: thanks ladies. today went ok and IUI is scheduled for Friday. that means I'll only be 10dpo on 3/31 but I'll still test I'm sure!

    GOLD / squash / 13576 posts

    I'm officially in the TWW. I played with FF since I surged in the afternoon and it was throwing off my O date. I have a meeting with RE on friday to discuss upcoming IUI if this cycle is a bust. I'm glad to be in the TWW.

    @bhbee: fx!!!

    Ahhhh it's so hard for me to catch up on Mondays, since I don't go on HB over the weekend.

    FF wouldn't give me crosshairs and I think it's because I didn't start tempting early enough (I started on CD 12). So..... I fudged one of my temps so they would show up. Oops. I just know I ovulated on CD 14, so I changed that morning's temp a tiny bit and sure enough, they popped up.

    That said, my temps don't make me too hopeful about this cycle. I'm envious of @sandy's chart!!

    Hey ladies!

    Work has been crazy, so now I am trying to catch up on things. It actually worked out well, because I O later this week, and I can be done with all the stressors and focus on babymaking.

    I hope everyone is having a great day! GL to everyone in the TWW!

    @mrs. tictactoe: I had to enter a temp on CD 18 to get my crosshairs. I had fully intended on not temping for the rest of the cycle because we decided to take our TTC break for the next couple months. But after two days of RIDICULOUS O pains, I temped on CD 19 and CD 20 to see if I actually did end up ovulating. Definitely did, but FF Wouldn't give me crosshairs with a missing CD 18 temp, so I fudged them. Fingers crossed for you!

    @doxielove: Thanks... Not too hopeful that it's good news though =/

    @LindsayInNY: when do you get your test results back?

  31. LindsayInNY

    bananas / 9229 posts

    @littlek: No clue. My doctor calls whenever they come in and she has time to review them. Hopefully sometime this week but who knows?

  32. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @LindsayInNY: FX you hear back soon. I hate the waiting period after tests!

    @littlek: How are you feeling?

  33. LindsayInNY

    bananas / 9229 posts

    @Crystal: I know, same here. I try to just ignore that I'm waiting and let her call when she calls... Keeps me somewhat sane?

  34. littlek

    GOLD / squash / 13576 posts

    @LindsayInNY: Waiting sucks. How are you doing? Still spotting?

    @Crystal: Hi!!! I missed you! I'm doing fine, just crampy. Very crampy this cycle. I think my body wants to mess with me. LOL.

  35. LindsayInNY

    bananas / 9229 posts

    @littlek: Yeah. Brown spotting/discharge but very light. Noticeable in the morning and then barely there when I wipe.

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend! I tested on Sunday which was 8dpo and it was a . On Fertility Friend it said I was only 7dpo. I’m confused do you count the second day you ovulate as 1dpo or after the two days you ovulate as 1dpo? I really hope this is the month was feeling super positive but after seeing the negative was def a little bummed!

  37. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @LindsayInNY: The early spotting is so strange... but my fingers are still crossed its IB!

    @mtex14: The day you ovulate is O, the next day is O+1, day after is O+2, etc and so forth.

    @littlek: I missed you too! I am also crampy this cycle. Its my first cycle temping, so I am wondering if I am paying more attention now?

  38. LindsayInNY

    bananas / 9229 posts

    @Crystal: When I wasn't taking progesterone, I would start this kind of spotting around CD8-9, sometimes 10. It would happen for 2-3 days before AF usually but was heavier than this. I'm kinda over getting my hopes up but we'll see. If this is pre-AF stuff, that means AF will arrive this week?

    @crystal thank you thats what I thought!

  40. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    @LindsayInNY: That means a short cycle, right? Will you be looking to possible next steps after you get the results back? FX you don't need them. I hate when our bodies mess with us.
