@MrsMcD: I'm allegedly 12 DPO. I say that because FF gave me dotted crosshairs on the same day I got my first & only positive OPK. So I think I'm more likely to be 11 DPO at most. This was my first month temping, and it has been an absolutely crazy month with a lot of travel, so I don't swear by my temps. I feel like it's still a little early, but also not feeling super confident. But ovulation is a step in the right direction, so I'll take it

The only thing I did differently the month I got my BFP was we BD every day for 8 days straight.
We've since used the same method, but no success. It was cycle 6, I think? Maybe 5.

I've been so busy the past few days. Just catching up on this board. You guys crack me up! Love the distraction from TTC - for the record, I'm a vodka soda gal.
My naturopath looked over my blood work and is happy with the first phase of my cycle, so now we focus on post-O business. She mentioned progesterone this cycle. Sounds easy. But now I see from a few of you that there are some side effects. What should I be looking out for?
I don't O until the end of this week...

@LIL BEAN: I don't know anything about the progesterone. But I think you should start BDing every other day with O coming up!

@MrsMcD: lol!
I just had some spotting... Unusual for me at 10DPO. Although we BD earlier today, but I never spot afterwards. Hmmm....

@Crystal: Bahahahaha. You said "spitting". I tried hard to imagine what you were doing spitting. So unlady like!! But I get you, girl. SPOTTING. IB, perhaps? And why are we up so late?!? The east coast girls might be getting up soon!

@MrsMcD: @Crystal: I'm up, too! We were supposed to BD tonight, but got in an argument and ruined everything. I'm never going to be able to fall asleep, now.

@MrsMcD: lol, thanks- I fixed it.
FX it's IB. I really wasn't symptom spotting at all because our timing was a awful, but now I'm getting my hopes up! I had IB at 10DPO with my BFP too. Ugh, I hope it's that.
DH and I are babysitting our nieces. The little one just went to sleep, and I'm sure she'll be up again in a few hours. It's exhausting, but I'm loving the toddler cuddles. It makes my ovaries hurt.
@mrs. tictactoe: I'm so sorry, that's the worst. I'm here if you want to talk about it... Hugs.

Well frer and wondfo are faintly positive this morning, but faintness is no friend of mine and I feel like it's not meant to be (please don't add me to the bfp list). I think I'm 11dpo today. We'll see what comes with tomorrow's test.

@littlek: MrBee said he is trying to come up with a magic wand emoticon so we can have baby dust.
I don't know how he could make it "sticky" but that would be extra awesome.
@bhbee: ((hugs)) and even more ((hugs))
Those faint lines are the devil, and I know exactly how you are feeling - sick to your stomach because it's exciting and you hope, hope, HOPE this will be it, but also so anxious and nauseous because those faint lines are tricky b!tches. I am keeping you in my thoughts and sending you all the sticky baby dust I have (I am even giving you all of mine - I want this for you so badly).

@HeartAbandoned: @Crystal: Fingers crossed for both you ladies!!
@LIL BEAN: I never have any symptoms on progesterone. Are you taking it orally or suppositories? Be aware that after a week or so with the suppositories, you may start to get tender down there! Also, if you put it up too high, you may get some spotting.

Thank you for all the well wishes yesterday. Here's my test from this morning! I also took a digital which was positive. I'll be calling my doctor's office in a few minutes to schedule bloodwork. I started taking progesterone last night so now I'm just trying to relax!

@AmeliaBedilia: If this is a good, sticky pregnancy, I'm inclined to contribute most of it to the supplements DH and I have been taking. I fine-tuned our regimen the last few months (I'm happy to share what we've been taking if anyone's interested)! I also got an HSG this cycle, which they say can increase your chances of getting pregnant because it can clear out all the gunk. Our timing was O-2, O-1, O, O+1, O+3. During the TWW, I did nothing different. We went to sushi, and had a night out at the bar, and I'm pretty sure I had a glass of wine nearly every night. I wasn't focused on this cycle working bc I was feeling optimistic about next cycle's iui + clomid.

@HeartAbandoned: hi lady! Thanks for the update yesterday. I'm keeping you in my thoughts!

@Crystal: @mrs. tictactoe: you girls outlasted me last night! But I'm already up and at the courthouse. Ugh... Not enough sleep and too much Sunday champagne doesn't make for a good morning! Somebody has a case of the Mondays!!

@Kelli_Deluxe: Wooo! Looking good!!
@LIL BEAN: I don't get any emotional side effects from progesterone. I insert one before bedtime and have to wear a pantyliner all night/day (so basically 24/7). We did have sex once where it burned really bad after. I figured that was progesterone-related? That's it for me though.

@Kelli_Deluxe: good looking line there!! I too broke out the progesterone yesterday. I have about 3 weeks left from prior iui cycles.
Just because this is the POAS thread I will post my pic from today too ... Thanks for all the sticky vibes ladies, I need them!!

That pic I posted looks really weird and grainy on my phone .. Hope it looks better for others. I am not good at posting pics!

@bhbee: Again, I totally know what you are going through... but, I gotta say, those are *really* nice lines for 11 DPO. Much darker than mine were at 11 DPO with DD.
