Still here! CD5 today, I have decided we will be doing SMEP even if it kills us this month

@Crystal: 8dpo is too early for a BFP so FC you see something soon!

I have actually started to get some slightly fertile cm today CD6!! We can't BD tonight so plan is to start SMEP on Sunday. I started getting clear cm really early last month too which was my first on vitex but then I messed it all up with those prescription anti inflamatories so it doesn't surprise me too much that I'm seeing it now.

@Crystal: I love how much warning it gives me that I am approaching O. I used to have lots of sticky, a few days of creamy and then clear which gradually gets more plentiful before going int the serious Oing cm. This cycle and last I have had my creamy whilst still spotting, doesn't give much rest from BD but I hate waiting for O as much as the TWW so I don't mind

@Crystal: Waiting is awful. Today is 9DPO and every time I feel the slightest bit of CM, I think it's my period, and I get anxious every time I go to the bathroom. AF is due Wednesday or Thursday. DH might have off work Thursday, so hopefully will get to see him then. If so and AF hasn't come, I will probably test then. If I don't see him, I will wait until I see him Friday.

I just got back from Vegas late afternoon and feel so behind. I am finally caught up on mail, but still some laundry to do and lots of things on the to do list, so feeling a little stressed.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

@Crystal: Not that I would wish TTC 6+ months on anyone, it is so nice to know that not only do you ladies get it, but someone is going through it at the same time. DH has been doing this for 2.5 years, but only 9 weeks to go. He thinks that is part of the TTC delay, but we have managed to hit most cycles fine, just stressful.

As far as temping, I am not sure how the time zones will affect it, but I am just charting as usual, since there isn't anything else I can do. I am feeling so anxious in the mornings when I take my temp. If it's below 98, I end up in tears.

Hi ladies glad everyone is doing well, as of today I'm 7DPO, on CD 20 so I have about a week left of waiting this month. I'm so excited but nervous for all of us, I can't wait for some BFPS to show up on this thread. On a side note, not sure were you all live but if you're lucky enough (insert sarcasm here) to live somewhere freezing like me (Michigan) are you over all this cold and snow, cause I sure as hell am!!

@AmeliaBedilia: I need a more snow friendly vehicle, my next one will for sure be AWD or have 4x4 capability! Yeah we're expecting more snow tomorrow here as well. While I hate it, our dogs are LOVING it and I have to constantly fight them to come in the house! I attached a pic of one of them from a couple weeks ago when we had far less snow than we do now

@AmeliaBedilia: thanks that's Lily she's 11, & DH as a 3 year old bouvier that he brought into the marriage and thankfully they get along great! Yeah I drive a Camry, not the best for snow, but also not the worst. When I was younger I had a camaro and boy was that a blast to drive in the snow...NOT lol

Temp dropped below cover line. I feel devastated. 10 cycles and nothing. Ovulating consistently on day 14-15, normal labs. DH and I have no risk factors for infertility. Why is this not happening?

Copying this from the POAS board, not sure what to feel now because just found loads of watery CM but feeling completely unmotivated to BD after this news:

Just been to my doctors, have been booked in for a further scan as I thought but have also been told that under the local guidelines, if DH's SA comes out fine and if I have another blood test and it shows ovulation this time, I will be diagnosed with unexplained infertility (despite my high prolactin, short luteal phase and very light period) they will not make a referral for unexplained fertility until 18-24months. Before that point they only treat PCOS or an ovulation.
Feeling really upset but we have work men in laying carpets so I'm going to ave to hold it together till they have gone!

@Snowdrop: so sorry to hear that, I know it's hard but keep your head up and keep on BDing. Big hugs sent your way

@AmeliaBedilia: unfortunately I haven't taken the plunge on temping yet so I don't really know anything about it. I also have not actually tracked my CM so I'm not much help there either. I am hoping and praying that your not being delusional and that this is your month!

@LalaYes: Welcome, hope you get your BFP soon!

@LalaYes: Where are you staying? Best time to go to the buffets is late breakfast- cheapest and then the lunch food comes out shortly. Ceasar's buffet was the best. Paris is great, too. Skip the Flamingo buffet. Tickets for tonight sells show tickets at a discount. Now I want to go back!

@Crystal: Thanks. Anxious to see what my temp is tomorrow. Still feel the same- bizarre. DH says not to put too much stock in my temp with sleep issues, time zone, travel, etc.

Temp up slightly above cover line this morning. Still not weepy, still no breast tenderness, still no AF. Limbo.

@Snowdrop: That makes sense. I have not tested. DH and I agreed we would only test when we are together. He probably has tomorrow off, so might come home tonight weather permitting. We had a huge snow/ice storm, but DH will drive in almost anything.

@Crystal: they haven't jumped to unexplained yet because I still might get pregnant within the year, it's only after a year that that will apply. They basically would have helped if I wasn't ovulating or if I had PCOS but they don't count the fact my progesterone levels barely showed ovulation, my LP s short, I have high prolactin and a 1 day period as a problem. Apparently user the funding it is just natural variation!
Yeah I do temp, but not every cycle as the temp dips upset me and I am pretty accurate at identifying O anyway.

@Crystal: Big hugs! Totally sad for you.
