@LAZB: the wondfo is
I got them from Amazon at 7$ for 25 of them.
Maybe I should just wait for AF. Would you be FRER? -
@LiliBillie: I’m a poas addict, so I probably would lol
-
@LAZB: totally same. I even kept my morning pee in a little container in the fridge for later LOL
Let’s just hope my 5 y o doesn’t think it’s Apple juice
jk

@Kaohinani: good luck with your Schrodinger pregnancy and I can understand not testing. I hadn't been trying for nearly as long and negatives hurt. I felt gassy and was taking so much semethicone but progesterone tends to make me feel gassy so I totally discounted it and that was about it for early pregnancy symptoms for me.
-
@Kaohinani: I love you
For what it’s worth. I don’t remember much from becoming pregnant the first time around but I remember the sore breast. My husband saw me this am and said “ whoa they are SO big” and they hurt on the side and when I lay down. If this is a new AF symptoms omg. I will get a frer today. Love to all -
@snarkybiochemist: Thank you!
Schrödinger's baby is in full effect.
@LiliBillie: Aw, thanks!

Still waiting to decide if we are going to move forward and go for it this cycle or wait. It seems like all state and federal grants in my field of work are held up this year (thanks in large part to the farm bill), so TTC is held up too as I wait to see if a new position I could apply for will
be created. I did discover however that if I get this position I would get 6 weeks short term disability (50% pay) followed by 12 weeks NY paid family leave (67% pay I think). So that’s kind of what we’re waiting for. We really thought we would know by now so it’s driving me crazy.@kaohinani: Silently cheering for you over here as I’ve waited to join these boards! I had no symptoms at all with DD2 until probably 6 weeks so I’m crossing my fingers for you!
-
@Becky: That is all so very frustrating!!!
-
Just catching up.
@Kaohinani: Thinking of you! Your chart looks beautiful, and I hope it'll finally be some good news. 🤞🤞🤞 How are you feeling today?
@LAZB: Oh, the 4th is good news! Good luck on Friday!
@LiliBillie: Ugh, ambiguous tests are infuriating. I've never gotten a positive that early, though--keeping fingers crossed for you.
@Becky: Glad NY offers a little family leave, but it must be difficult to take a chance when you might be making a job transition. Good luck. Hoping it all works out in your favor!
This TWW is going to be a wild ride, I'm trying to brace myself for it. Gotta block out some time in the calendar for looking up symptoms. How is everybody else holding up?
-
So much to catch up on!! As for me, finally have a positive OPK on CD 32, we got the last two nights in so going for tonight and hopefully tomorrow if DH can handle it haha
@Kaohinani: I’m so sorry for this roller coaster!! Still rooting so hard!
Everyone else I am still catching up. Had to take a break from TTC related stuff because the OPK stuff was too frustrating for me.
-
@breakouttheicecream: thank you! My body threw me for a loop today because I got a positive opk and so I guess I’m ovulating even though I shouldn’t be on these meds, but looks like Friday is still the day!
-
-
@breakouttheicecream: Thank you, hun.
I feel fine atm - minor itchy BBs and I keep checking for AF but no cramps atm. I did have light pink scant CM 2x after wiping today (which is not usual for me) - hypothetically, it would be a bit too late for IB, so it may be caused by cervical irritation from the Crinone, but IDK 🤷♀️. I am just assuming AF will be here in a day or two. @Mrs.Panda: Thank you!
@LiliBillie: I am sorry, sweetheart.
-
@Kaohinani: thank you

@LiliBillie: No problem... Hey, I have a way for you to visualize how fast HCG doubles (whether on a 48 or 72 hour schedule) and when [based on implantation] one could, potentially test with a BFP. Keep in mind, women can have 0.n - 5-miu on average. Women with PCOS, HCG-producing tumors, pituitary issues, and menopausal women may see initial HCG numbers from 5 to 10-miu HCG. I have compared 2 charts using my AF date, my cycle length, and my IUI/ovulation date; however, I used 1-miu HCG on one version and 5-miu HCG on the other as a variable. You can note how quickly a woman with 5-miu HCG in her system would get a BFP in comparison to a woman with 1-miu HCG, EVEN IF they were to have implanted on the same day.
1-miu HCG at implantation:
5-miu HCG at implantation:
I urge you to enter in your last AF date and OV date and to play with the numbers to see the absolute earliest and latest you'd get a BFP:

So much going on! Keeping all kinds of positive thoughts for everyone in the TWW. (Loving the schrödinger reference @Kaohinani). As for me, still no sign of a positive OPK which is atypical for me at this point in a cycle. I swear they’re getting fainter 🤷♀️ Ugh. Ah well, on we go, peeing on all the things haha.
-
@msmilkshake: I've had a weird experience the last couple of cycles where my opks got more faint for a day or two before being positive. Maybe you will have the same pattern?
-
@Kaohinani: OK lesson learned, no more astroglide! Thanks for the link
-
@Kaohinani: very interesting. So if I do 1 miu then I’m at 8 today. But if I do 5 miu then I’m at 30 today. 🤷♀️ I love this so thank you!
It’s annoying to have so many pregnancy symptoms. I kept a checklist when I got pregnant the first time around of my symptoms and they are SO similar. Oh well. I’ll keep you updated! -
Feverishly checking the board every morning to see what FMU has in store for you all. Fx and baby dust, praying for your sticky babies!
-
Just had literally our only sex miscommunication in 6 years of marriage
-
@Kaohinani: spotting 4 days early. I’d say I’m out this month. Baby dust to all
-
@Kaohinani: how is Schrodinger's baby doing?
-
17 dpIUI - 43 mos trying...
Super BFN - No AF.It's okay. I didn't "feel pregnant" so I assumed it would be a BFN. Now, I need to figure out what I am going to do. I would like to step away from the board for a couple days, just to process and to figure out where I go from here. Kinda feel as though with all of the faith and hope that it will happen, it really isn't meant to. I mean, I had 3 follicles, a "perfect" lining, and DH gave a sample which post-wash was WELL over 70-mil with 85% motility. All I got from this cycle was an emotional rollercoaster ride and an extra 5 lbs!
Thank you, all, for your understanding. -
@Kaohinani: hugs
Thinking of you - take all the time you need.
Edited - wrong emoji!!! Fat fingers.
-
@Kaohinani: oh mama.
-
@Kaohinani: I'm sorry. I hope you figure out the way forward. Take all the time you need, I'll keep an eye on the board.
Hugs! -
@Kaohinani:
-
@Kaohinani: I’m so sorry, I don’t understand why this is so hard for some of us. Take all the time you need.
-
@LiliBillie: sorry about your negative too, that always sucks
-
@LiliBillie @Kaohinani: so sorry to login this morning and hear your news. It’s amazing anyone ever reproduces considering how hard it is and how the stars
AFM, today is transfer day, likely my last, of 3 untested embryos. Not getting my hopes up at all, but at least we were able to do something different this cycle with the extra 12 hours of progesterone.
-
@yellowbeach: wishing you all the
-
@Kaohinani: I’m so sorry
-
@Kaohinani: oh this sucks I'm so sorry
@yellowbeach: good luck today -
I’ve been googling but figured you guys might have a ready answer. I think I ovulated already, which would be about 5 days early for me. Any idea why this would happen? I don’t do ovulation tests but get bad O pain and nausea, which usually happens CD 17-19 of a 30 day cycle, and yesterday when I think I O’ed based on the pain, nausea, and CM was only CD 13.
-
@Becky: for some reason my body started ovulating early every like 4-5 months after my first two miscarriages. Now it will be like cd10-11 instead of cd22-24 occasionally. I have no idea why.
-
@Kaohinani: hugggs. Take all the time you need, come back when you're ready. It's so emotionally (and physically!) exhausting
-
@yellowbeach: happy transfer day! Sending you conception-y vibes
-
@Kaohinani: I'm so sorry
@yellowbeach: Good luck
-
@Kaohinani: sorry girl
