    some big highs and some big lows this morning!

    @ballerinabee: so sorry! I wish you the best of luck and I hope the IF ladies can offer support in a way that helps your heart. We are always here for you as well!

    @eko: hang in there!

    @BigSkyGirl: frer pictures! Congrats for your bfp! Fingers crossed it sticks!

    @MissLace: boo! Onward and upward to October!

    @Bigskygirl: Congrats! I didn't feel like mine were getting much darker for a while with LO #1.

    So does anyone else have totally variable cover lines when charting BBT? My cover line has been anywhere from 97.1 to this cycle with a 97.6! Is that normal? My temps are so much higher this cycle pre-O.

    I just need to come on here and sing the praises of my OB/GYN. This is only the second time I've been to her because I had to make an insurance switch through work. I love her! She listens, she doesn't mind that I've done research, and she is pretty progressive. I asked my old doctor about if my problem could be a progesterone thing. I have spotting during my LP and short cycles and I wonder if that is preventing me from getting pregnant. He said no it couldn't be progesterone if I am ovulating. I know that is not right. When I talk to this doctor about it today she brought up the progesterone thing before I did. She wants to do a blood draw on CD 21. Yay for a doctor that finally listens! Also she thinks this YI is finally clearing up. I do feel a lot better today. maybe this isn't a throwaway cycle after all!

    @travellingbee: so glad you found someone so helpful! I'm currently on the hunt for a new Dr since i moved from CA to NH (and work in Boston) within the last year and did my preconception checkip in LA.

    Hi ladies! Hope it's okay if I join! I finished my last birth control pack at the end of August, just waiting around to see if I ovulate yet. So not sure if I can even POAS this month, but here's to hoping! Looking forward to getting to know you all

    Cycle Day: CD 14
    TTC Cycle #: I guess you could count this the first? Though we're not exactly "trying" yet, because I'm not sure how long my body will take to ovulate since I'm off birth control now. My cycles are usually pretty irregular off of the pill, though I was lucky to get pregnant after 2 cycles of TTC with my son.
    POAS date: 9/30
    Baby #: 2! My DS is 13 months old.. He's the best I'm so excited to give him a brother or sister
    Your plan this month: this month I'm kinda just seeing what my body does off the pill and plan on using OPK strips which is what I did last time. I can't temp unfortunately, I work part time nights so my sleep schedule is all over the place
    Chart link: No chart
    Fall activities you are looking forward to: Everything! Fall is my favorite time of year. Can't wait for pumpkin everything, wearing boots and sweaters, apple picking, Halloween, and doing fun things with DS

    @MissLace: Are you looking for an obgyn in Boston or NH? Mine operates out of Wellesley and is just awesome.

    @NurseDMB: Welcome! My cycles are irregular when I'm off of BC too - OPKs have been a lifesaver. Good luck!

    @bigskygirl: congrats!

    AFM, I am pretty sure this has been an anovulatory cycle. On day 34 with 2 BFN and erratic temps. Only hope at this point that the cycle ends soon and I can move on.

    stilL cheering on the rest of September POASers!

    @travellingbee: So glad you found a helpful doctor!!!

    @NurseDMB: welcome!

    @Runnergirl: Boo for anovulatory cycle. I hope the next one is better!!

    10 days to go for me and I'm already getting antsy!

    @travellingbee: We tried them last cycle along with Preseed. I already have them on hand since I use them during AF. Pretty easy all in all.

    @NurseDMB: We have a 13 month old DS as well. It is such a fun age. I love watching him learn new things everyday. Yesterday it was how to quack. Gotta love it!!

    Just when you think you know your body… I have ovulated on CD 13 for as many cycles as I have been charting except one. That cycle I ovulated on CD 12. I am now on CD 13 and not even having a surge yet. In fact the second line on the OPK was almost invisible. What the what? This has never happened!

    @ValentineMommy: Thank you!

    @JennyG: It really is such a fun age! It's definitely my favorite so far, although it can be difficult at times. But I love how they have their own personality now and learn something new all the time

    @raspberries: ugh thanks! I'm hoping we didn't somehow miss the surge... Trying not to stress.

    Tomorrow will be CD32. Still no period and my last test was a BFN. I go to the dentist tomorrow morning for a cleaning so I figured just in case, I will test tomorrow morning. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised?? Here's to hopeful thinking!

    @MrsBrewer: Good luck!!!!!

    I forgot how anxiety inducing the whole TWW is. Especially after a m/c. I have soooooo many days to go. Blech.

    Well.....I tested this morning just with a cheap Wondfo. I swear I see a shadow. DH thinks I'm nuts, and he doesn't see anything.

    I'm not getting my hopes up because for 1. my temps are all over the place, and I don't even think I O'd. and for 2. I tested at like 3:30 AM and I didn't look at the test until 6:30. So it very well might be an evap line. I took a picture of it, but I seriously don't see it on the picture at all.

    @SeptMomma12: I know I'm horrible at it too! I really don't think I am pregnant though (I seriously hope I am!) but I have zero symptoms or anything.

    @MrsBrewer: If it helps, I am definitely pregnant and still have zero symptoms! Total opposite of my first pregnancy when I had every symptom in the book from the start.

    @ballerinabee: I'm totally an optimist too. yep, I see a shadow, maybe not an actual line...but there's something!

    @MrsBrewer: OMG!! that is SOOO positive and I am so excited for you doll!! i can't wait for your FRER to confirm! my test looked exactly like that with this pregnancy and now i am 13 and a half weeks.

    @MrsBrewer: Yep, looks like there's something there, but hard to say since you said you looked at it a few hours later. Can't wait for the FRER tomorrow!

    coconut / 8854 posts

    @theotherstark: Yep, very true. I looked at the test 3 hours later.....stupid me fell back asleep. I was going to hop out of bed like 5 minutes later, but I fell back asleep immediately.

    @MrsBrewer: I see something as well!! Fingers crossed!

    Well, I was unable to refrain from packing my wondfo's for vacation. Lol.....but I only packed 4. So....that's ok right?? Lol

  38. MrsBrewer

    @ValentineMommy: Thanks!

    LOL!! 4 isn't too bad! If I was near POAS time, and going on vacation. I totally would pack them too!!!

    @MrsBrewer: Oh my goodness! I have my fingers crossed for you! I really hope that month 1 of Clomid was the key for us both. Also, you could try another Wondfo this afternoon. When I tested on Monday morning with Wondfo, the lines were much more faint than when I tested the same day in the afternoon...but everyone is different.

    Also, what dpo are you?
