@LAZB: My HPT was FAR lighter but (of course) as I'm going through a CP and not a longer loss, my numbers are REALLY low in comparison to yours. I'd say you still have chance. I'm not a specialist in the field by any means; however, I always research using scholarly material and ask extensive questions of those in said fields, with that stated and the information that I have - OV is absolutely "possible" for you this month. Keep tracking. I wish the best for you and I'm hoping to see a blazing BFP from you soon!
P.S. You may wish to start using OPKs just to track OV although EWCM is a decent indicator. Also, "caffeine free pregnancy tea from PINK STORK" is a great way to ease back into using vitex, red raspberry, and nettle. One of the women who I train got pregnant using it and reccomends it.

@Kaohinani: oh yes, I know itβs not all that light. Iβm making my guess on hcg by comparing my wondfos from when my numbers were going up. My 14 dpo number was 135 and the line was similar. I think Iβll probably ovulate this month, it may just be a few more weeks, so Iβll be poas in October.

@LAZB: I'm keeping my F'x for you for September and extra tight for October if you miss next month. π€

@LAZB: hoping for the best for you with a quick HcG drop and hopefully even an OV cycle this same month. waiting after a loss is the worst. Hands down.

@skinnycow: yes absolutely! Donβt you typically ovulate 24-48 hours after the positive OPK? I know the sperm meets egg plan recommends Bdβing 3 straight days with the positive OPK. So you definitely have a chance!

@yellowbeach: @QBbride: Thanks ladies! I guess I'm just feeling negative about it because we usually try to BD several different days before ovulation.
I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating today, which means we will have hit O-5 and O. Not great but we'll see what happens!

@skinnycow: At least you can get O-5, O, & O+1; that will cover your bases pretty well.

I am officially onto the September cycle, hopefully we get a bunch of BFPs this month!

Day 8 ... STILL bleeding (brownish-purple ... WEIRD!!!). Wondering IF I will OV in September after all. I KNOW what my OBGYN said, but still, it is not reassuring when things aren't looking up. Trying for the positive... I feel "good" and healthy on the most part (and I'm down 3-lbs of my Clomid weight.). That is a good thing.

@Sams Mom: I'm sorry you didn't get an August BFP (I don't think I could have wished any harder for you to have gotten one if I tried!); however, I'm glad you are on the September board with me as I'll miss your "silly and sarcasm" when you get your BFP and move on.

OK - just got back from my US and things look good - should OV soon.. based on my follicle and lining, we have a tentative embryo transfer date of 9/8! So @SkinnyCow: would you mind changing my POAS date to 9/15? That will be 7dp5dt which is when I got my on my daughter. I'm sure I'll likely break down and test earlier, but this will at least give me some hope of waiting a reasonable amount of time.

@yellowbeach: YAY!!! π€ I'm so excited for you!
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed π€that all goes well! Really hoping for you to get a super-sticky BFP in Sept!

Just left my appointment, going to do Femara this month, so hopefully that's the change we need

@Kaohinani: I had an early m/c/CP when we were TTC #2. I usually Oβd around CD14 and after my CP I Oβd around CD21, so you might! Good luck!!

@QBbride: Thank you SO much. This makes me feel MUCH better! I'm affixing 2 pictures. One is a close up of the HPT (Smilereader 25 miu HPT strip) I took this morning (Thankfully, it is REALLY faint now), and the other is of the OPKs (Smilereader) I took yesterday and this afternoon. Feel free to analyze. They are getting stronger daily even though I'm still on the CP bleed so I'm hoping and wishing I OV "on-schedule."
Thank you again!
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@Kaohinani: your OPKs are headed on the right direction with obvious difference in darkness! So that's great!
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@Sams Mom: Thank you! Between QBBRIDE's msg and the test I had taken not long before that, I began to feel a bit better than I did when I first wrote this morning. I had been feeling pretty down with all of the bleeding and the residual HCG, but now, a bit brighter!
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@Kaohinani: that's good, glad you're feeling better! I'm still in my just got my peeps slump and opened Facebook to yet another pregnancy announcement
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@Sams Mom: Oh, that stings. It is so hard because you are conflicted - so happy yet a bit jealous ... at least that is the way I feel. One of my really close friends text me today with pics of her 2 most old. It took her 7 years to get her #2. I couldn't be bitter as she was there for me for my #2 when she was having fertility issues but, gosh, was it hard looking at the beautiful pictures when I'm nearing 3 years trying for #3. I was SO happy for her but I couldn't help but wish it were me. #human

@Sams Mom: ugh, I keep seeing pregnancy announcements for when I would have been due in February and March (Two for the exact same date I was due which is also the anniversary of my sonβs death ), and they really sting!
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@LAZB: I cannot imagine how much that sucks for you, I am so sorry. I can just hope we get our sticky babies sooner rather than later.
pomegranate / 3904 posts
@Sams Mom: thanks, it does suck, but Iβm happy for the two that are pregnant, they both had miscarriages earlier this year. Having babies shouldnβt be so hard!
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@LAZB: definitely shouldn't be this hard, especially with how they doomed and gloomed you in health class and church about how easy it was.
nectarine / 2648 posts
@Sams Mom: itβs so funny you say that - my only sister is 7 years alder than me (47) and has 3 kids but started late and had some trouble Too. I remember her saying something along the lines of βif Iβd known it was going to be this hard to get pregnant, I would have enjoyed sex more in my 20s.β
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@yellowbeach: hell yes, I wouldn't have been so stressed that I was going to end up preggo while wearing a condom and pulling out
nectarine / 2648 posts
@Kaohinani: Definitely looks like your OPKs are headed the right direction!
grapefruit / 4144 posts
Argh!!!! How is this even flipping possible?!?!? I had a Low reading on my CBEAD yesterday morning (which was to be expected) and today, AT CD 9 AND STILL BLEEDING, the d#mn thing gives me a PEAK (solid smiley)!!!
I can't even check my cm or cervix!!! How is this going to work? Is it a true LH surge? Is it even possible for an ovum to have matured that quickly?!?!? Isn't the earliest "healthy" OV date CD 11? If I surge today, OV would be CD 10. WTH? (*throws hands up
*) DH and I haven't even started BD-ing because I have been bleeding! Grrrrrr .... I swear I just need to throw in the towel. I'm a good person, a (normally) positive person, too ... why can't I catch a break here?!!!
Since it looks like I "may" OV early this month, @skinnycow: would you please, put me on the board for September 12th? ... If this isn't a real surge, we will have to change it. Thank you.

@Sams Mom: @yellowbeach: my friend (who has been ttc for the last 2.5 years for her second) and I were talking about this over some wine, and she said βif I knew it was this hard, in college I would have been like, give me all the dicks!β I literally spit out my wine I lol-ed so hard
pomegranate / 3904 posts
@Kaohinani: so confusing! Maybe just try if your up for it, but know this cycle could be a bust.
pomegranate / 3904 posts
Good news is my hcg test is lighter, and opk is still positive. I still have ewcm, but not as much. We havenβt bded at all since the mc, I havenβt been into it, but Iβm feeling more into it today, so maybe lol. Im really not βtryingβ right now though, just waiting until after a period. I guess this is practice.
grapefruit / 4492 posts
@Kaohinani: I don't know about if the surge is too early (also the CP might have reset you a bit and ovulation is further out in the 12-72 hours after surge now)... But I always go from empty circle to solid smiley with those
grapefruit / 4144 posts
@LAZB: Looks like we are in the same boat. My HPT was super-uber faint this morning and I got my POS (+) OPK on CBEAD. I POAS 5:15 this morning ... then proceeded to molest my DH in the shower () in the hopes that this cycle isn't a bust. Going from 0-100 on the OPKs while still on the CP bleed just doesn't make sense to me, though. My hormones must be so "jacked up." (*shrugs* π€)
@Sams Mom: I'm so used to "Low-Low-Low-High-Peak!," unless I have a wonky cycle and end up with 11 High days or an anovulatory cycle with all Lows. This was so quick! ... And, I'm really hoping that you are correct in that my system was reset. Thank you for the reassurance.

@Kaohinani: I'm sorry it's so confusing. Hopefully a surprise BFP is at the end of it.
@yellowbeach: I'm so glad to hear things are going in the right direction.
I had an early OV this month and it's CD 3 today according to FF. If that's correct we hit O an O+2 and I'm not sure that was enough...not feeling very confident.
Hormones have gone into overdrive though. My breast have been sore since yesterday, usually that happens later in the cycle for me and I had a huge temp spike today 97.43Β°F β 98.13Β°F. I know it doesn't mean anything as it's so early, but was still surprised to see that.
