@MrsTiger: Whoa, girl! So awesome! Congratulations! We'd love to have you over on the January 2015 thread whenever you're ready.
-
@MrsTiger: wow!!! Congrats!!!
-
@MrsTiger: YAY!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months! How many dpo are you? Thats a lovely line!
-
Thanks all, still can't believe it!
@simplyfelicity - I'm 14 DPO already, thats probably why, I didn't think I had a chance so didn't test until the day my period was due. I usually can't wait that long!
-
@Radish: Hmmm, I'm CD 13 and still getting blank sticks. I guess Imma gonna need some more. Tomorrow is my last OPK.
-
@MrsTiger: Congratulations!
-
@MrsTiger: Maybe that's the trick to surviving the two week wait!
-
@MrsTiger: Congrats!!!!
-
I always wonder about the best BD timing, so I found this and wanted to share.
-
@MrsTiger: Congratulations!!! Your timing is crazy - that has to be a promising sign for everyone else on the May board too
-
@MrsTiger: Congrats!!
-
@simplyfelicity: I guess DH is on the hook for an indefinite period of time, lol!
-
@Espion: HAHA! I think its helpful because after O last month, I did not feel like it at all, good to know its all about before O.
-
@MrsTiger: amazing story! Congrats!
-
I think maybe I got my positive OPK late so ovulation might have been earlier? I was using FMU and only testing once a day, so maybe that is what it was!
-
@mrstiger congrats!! Thanks for showing us that obsessing over precise BDing isn't necessary either!! Very happy for you!

I have a fertility friend question. So, I told FF that I had 29 day cycles and pinpointed my last cycles O at 16dpo. I ended up O-ing last month on the 15th and entered that and it recognizing it as my actual O day. So I was expecting it to think that this cycles O date was 15dpo but it still thinks 16 dpo. I double checked and it does have my cycle length at 29 days. Any thoughts?
-
@simplyfelicity: In FF I originally input my cycles as 30 days long, but when they started getting really long, it took almost 3 full cycles before it adjusted the O date and lengthened my cycles. I think it takes an average and doesn't just base it on the previous cycle. That's just my experience though.
-
@Aria: Ok, this is only my second cycle on FF so maybe that is why. I am just surprised why it thought I O'ed on cd 16 since 15 pre o and 14post o would be 29. Maybe it will normalize with time. Thanks!
-
@MrsTiger: Maybe you still didn't O til later? Who knows, all I know is that is a dark BFP! Congratulations!
-
@simplyfelicity: That's interesting! I didn't realize the difference between -2 and -3 was so drastic!
-
@googly-eyes: Me either! I was bit worried that we wouldn't be able to "hit" O-3 but now I am not.
-
@MrsTiger: wow!! Congrats on your super baby! Have a healthy sticky 9 months.
-
So I woke up this morning to dark brown spotting/very light bleeding. I was really surprised--I always can just feel it coming when AF is about to start, and I did not feel anything this time. Plus, I'm only 9 DPO, on CD27. I've been off birth control for nine months and have never had a cycle this short before. They're never exactly the same length, but have always been 29-31 days long before. Could it be some implantation bleeding....?
-
@angelachase: I think 9DPO is actually the most common implantation day, so that could be it. Unfortunately, you can really only wait and see if it gets heavier... FX for you!
-
Another high on my monitor! Ugh! I think it missed my O, or that's what I am hoping. I am so mad at myself for not buying OPKs and will definitely be using them next month. They are so much easier to read. I am CD20 and assuming I already O'd but we may BD tonight or tomorrow just to coer our bases if we feel like it.
-
@MrsMccarthy: I just had one month using OPKs, but I think any TTC efforts in the future will definitely involve them again - at least for me, I loved peeing on something every morning, and I felt like they gave me a much clearer picture of what was going on! I did get several days of positives, so I know they are not foolproof or super accurate, but that just meant a whole lot of BDing for a week or so. Probably similar to the highs on your monitor! How much BDing have you been doing, if that's not too personal? (is anything too personal on these boards? haha) FX so tightly for you, lady!!! I really want May to be your month too. May-be you won't have to worry about OPKs at all!
-
@keepcalmcarrie: aww you are such a sweetheart! I am an open book. We have been doing eod since CD13 but there were two days between the last time. We have probably covered our bases but its hard to know when I have no idea when or of I ovulated. I do have a pimple though. So that's nice. Hehehe
-
@MrsTiger: it sounds to me like maybe you ovulated a teeny bit sooner but that's still an amazing amount of time for the spermies to live. When you get your dating ultrasound it should give you a better idea. Congrats again. What a fun surprise!
-
@angelachase: That could definitely be implantation bleeding. I would wait another 2 days and test with a FRER with FMU.
-
@angelachase: did you temp this morning? If it's still above the cover line then it was likely implantation bleeding.
-
@NerdBee: I did temp, but really not sure what's the accurate temp reading. DH and I are currently traveling & he put the AC in our hotel room on full blast after I went to sleep last night. When I grabbed the thermometer off the nightstand it was really cold and gave me a reading of 97.2 (below coverline) but when I put the thermometer under my pillow for a few mins to see if it changed after warming up a little, it gave a reading of 97.9 (way above coverline). So who knows. Feeling super crampy now but the bleeding hasn't picked up at all, so I guess all I can do is wait!
-
@MrsTiger: congrats lady!!
-
@angelachase: ack, how frustrating! But based on the pattern of your cycles I would guess implantation bleeding. Luteal phase generally does not vary more than one or two days. Variations in cycle length are usually because of delays in ovulation. Hope this helps!
-
@angelachase: I hope it's implantation bleeding! I had it at 11DPO with my son so there is always hope.
-
@angelachase: Fingers crossed for you!!!
-
@MrsMccarthy: I dunno, man, I'm hating the OPKs. I'm getting stark white every day. I only have one left (got a small pack). I'm probably not using them right. I haven't been able to pee on them at a consistent time with consistent hold times. I think I must be too well hydrated, lol!
-
Okay, so DH and I are doing things the au natural way this cycle but I was hoping to get the HB "stamp of approval" for our baby making plan.
This is only our second cycle trying. Last cycle, we DTD O-2, O-1 and O. I O'ed on cd 15 though FF predicted cd 16. It worked (CP) so we are trying this month but being even broader since we aren't using OPKs or tempting.
We are going to bd cd 13-17. If I O again the same day, bd timing will be o-2, o-1, o, o+1. If I O on cd 16 like ff suggests, it will be o-3, o-2, o-1 and o. This could be entirely possible after my cp.In essence, does this sound like a solid plan? Dh has no known sperm count issues, so ED seems ok. We are cool with adding one more day of BD. Would you add it before or after our "plan?" (I read that you are more fertile after a CP/MC so we are trying to take advantage of that. I am also going to monitor cm for added reference and to get a general O date in retrospect.) Thanks!
-
@Espion: with OPKs I like them because unlike my monitor I can use them twice a day. Everyone is different though and if you are just starting out you may benefit from three times a day. Once morning, once around 1pm and then once before bed. The per holding sucks though I agree. Once you catch your surge you can probably use them less frequently because you'll know around when your body likes to surge. You might just be a short surger. Get the super cheap wondfos or something similar on amazon. With your first LO what did you do to get pregnant? Was it a surprise bfp?
-
@simplyfelicity: sounds great to me!! I hope you get your rainbow baby!
