Thanks for all the well wishes! I POAS again this morning and it looked the same as yesterday. It hasn't really sunk in yet.
As far as symptoms this TWW, I had some slight cramping/pulling/fullness in my lower abdomen and tender boobs, especially my nipples and close to my armpits.
Good luck to those waiting to test! Can't wait to see more June (and some early July) mommas!

Well, I'm out. AF showed up this morning. I had previously thought that my cycle was 30 days, but this cycle was exactly 28 days. I'm so bummed. Good thing I have off for Columbus day so I can mope a little! See you in November! @littlebit could you roll me over?

@mrsabel59: I'm sorry My cycle goes back and forth from 28 to 30 sometimes. I just edited it the list.

Well I am finally officially out as I've met the end of chemical pregnancy #3 today. I've had a lot of sadness over facing this again for baby #2, but I called a new RE (insurance change) on Friday and managed to get someone's cancellation this Wednesday, which is pretty crazy considering how they usually book way out. I am taking it as a sign that it is the right time to start back with all that. Hoping to be back on clomid soon. I also conceived LO the month after a chemical (on clomid) so maybe there is some truth to being more fertile then! Hoping for good things in the next few months.

@bhbee: I'm sorry! I hope things start to look up for you!
@mrsabel59: Oh no! Does your cycle usually fluctuate like that?
pea / 10 posts
@mrskoloa AF never ever comes early...It usually comes 30 days maybe 31. days. But never before. I really thought this was our month....ugh I'm just so sick over it!

@mrsabel59: I'm so sorry.... My cycles varies by a couple of days each and every month. I never thought it was something to be concerned about. Is it?
@bhbee: I love your positive attitude! I am really hoping for good things for you, too!

Please add me to the November rollover list! AF FINALLY showed up today, she was so painful to wait for because even though I had negative tests and dropping temps, I can't have cycle day one without her face. Feeling optimistic for next month though.

@MrsMcD: thank you, I am trying so hard to be positive! chemical or BFN, I always feel better to see CD1 again. feels like possibilities
cantaloupe / 6086 posts
@princessandthebee: sorry you have joined us, but November is going to be a good month I just know it
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
@bhbee: I feel the exact same way about CD 1. Can I ask how exactly you knew it was a chemical pregnancy? Did you test early and get a positive? Or did your period not start on time???

Hi everyone! Sorry to have dropped off the September POAS thread...work got super busy for a few weeks. I really appreciate the helpful feedback y'all gave me there! My last cycle ended up being 37 days (first real cycle off the pill), so I'm trying a few new things this go-around. Anyway, I think I'm back for October...details below.
Cycles Trying: 2
Current Cycle Day: CD14
Estimated Ovulation Date: Got a positive OPK yesterday, temp is rising today...so maybe today?
POAS Date: TBD depending on if get a confirmed O date
BD Timing: so far, CD6, CD8, CD10, CD12, CD13 (and definitely CD14, CD15, and CD16 too! husband is on board.)
Anything new or extra this cycle? Doing SMEP, using evening primose oil (which I'd been using previously for hormonal breakouts) and Mucinex. Also, I think I'll use OPKs longer than last cycle in case I've geared up to surge but not actually O'd.
Link to your chart (if you have one and want to share): http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/ebd2425
Bonus Question: What is your favorite holiday? Thanksgiving for sure! I love cooking and eating

@MrsMcD: I hope this info doesn't freak anyone else out, I definitely have an abnormal situation over here.
I have had the same experience with all 3 chemicals. tested around 13dpo with a faint positive (definitely there but much lighter than control). tested again over the next couple days and never got darker. also can test positive on multiple brands/types of test. usually accompanied by tiny bits of spotting here and there, but nothing that a normal person would need to worry about. and then AF shows up between 18-20dpo.
the first two times I had betas done when I freaked out about tests not getting darker. around 20-30 I think and they were always dropping. this time I didn't bother because I knew the answer already.

@mrsabel59:
@bhbee:
So sorry you are going through this again. Hoping for a sticky baby soon! That sounded like my chemical as well -- tested positive on several HPTs, but never got really dark, then started spotting about a week later and eventually got full-fledged AF about a week late. Confirmed by betas. And I don't believe there is ever TMI on these boards -- I would've had no idea what was going on if it weren't for the bees.

@NorCalWayfarer: honestly where would we all be without the internet?? it's true you can do more obsessing but I have learned SO much and have no idea how you handled these things when info was scarce.
I have read a lot of similar chemical stories. But I have one beautiful BFP progression photo (light to dark) and I'm going to get another eventually

@bhbee: Your positivity is awesome, thank you! Hoping next month is so so sticky for you!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
@bhbee: Thank you so much for sharing that information. Your experience - and the experiences of others - are all so helpful to know about. I truly wish the best for your in your next upcoming cycles TTC.

Such rock star bees sharing their experience on this thread! Baby dust to those still waiting to test, and for the rollovers: November will be here before we know it!

@mrsabel59: Is it possible you chemicaled? Since getting off BC my cycles have been 33 days and more, but the one cycle I had 28 days was a chemical pregnancy. I found out on accident at the doctors for pain that I thought was appendicitis, but allegedly was an ovarian cyst rupturing.

@crunchy1: Congrats! H & H 9 months!
@bhbee: Sorry to hear about the CP. Best wishes for your visit with the RE and hope to see you on the November board!

@bhbee: ((hugs)) So glad you were able to get an early appointment with a new RE

I'm fearful I won't even get to POAS this month... Currently at CD31 and no +OPK yet. Thought the chemical pregnancy wouldn't affect my cycle. Hah! Boy was I wrong. My temp spiked the last two mornings but I was skeptical since we slept with heat on and I woke up sweating. Sure thing, today's temp was back low like before. My body hates me.

For those that track CM, when you found you had EWCM, when did you get your positive OPK?
bananas / 9229 posts
@littlek: Sorta. Basically when I notice it which is usually either creamy or watery (EW, I guess?). The creamy has been coming and going lately though. Happened a couple weeks ago and then last week too.

I don't think things are looking good here, I am 11 dpo and I have been spotting since 8 dpo. It has stayed brown but I can't imagine it means good things. I had a bunch of cramping on the morning of 8 dpo so I was hopeful it was that elusive implantation bleeding but now I think it is just that my hormones are still out of whack after coming off hormonal birth control. I tested again this morning and it is still negative.
Any suggestions on how to prevent the spotting early on next time?

@LindsayInNY: If you have EWCM, I would still BD. You never know...
