Its CD30 & AF hasnt arrived. Im doubting all my calculations now lol. Once AF starts I will start counting properly. Im glad I started ttc straight after D&C though. Im mentally prepared now

I'll need to get online to order opks & hpt (even keen on bbt). Which brand r u using? Im hoping to find a cheap & cheerful brand from someone who ships internationally.

Lol! That bd comment made me laugh a bit! My opk test line was a even darker than yesterday and I'm starting to get slight pains on my right side so I should be ovulating within the next couple days. According to ff and some other sites I should ovulate or already ovulated by the 13th and the earliest detecting hpt should possibly give accurate results starting the 23. I think I might start testing the 25 or 26, just for a few extra implantation days IF it worked this cycle.

Scorpio, is it possible you miscalculated your ovulation as well? Maybe it is possible you conceived but not enough hcg?? Idk just a thought.

That's how I felt when AF showed up. I was a bit disapointed that we didn't end up with a little bean, but at the same time I was just happy to know that I could start counting for this cycle properly! Last cycle I was a bit confused because of when we stopped BCP. My last cycle was only 27 days. I remember reading somewhere that normal cycles can range from 25-35 days, so we're both still doing ok!

For the BBT thermometer I just went to the pharmacy (Shoppers' Drug Mart... don't know if you have that chain there...) and they have a few on display next to the HPT and OPK's. As long as it says it's a BBT I'm not sure it matters which brand it is. I orderd a combo pack of OPK's and HPT's online from Early Pregnancy Tests, but I haven't gotten them yet so I can't tell you what they're like. Hoping they arrive today along with my Pre-Seed order!

Mine was BFN too, but it is still a little early for me. I'm not due for 6 more days... I'm just killing time..

Killing time sucks!

Do you have any hobbies or anything that you do to help pass the time?

Hello ladies! I am glad I have others on here to relate to. : )
I went for my womanly visit today. sigh.. I am supposed to go back in August if we are not pregnant by then. She said she would then prescribe me some type of hormone pills to help us speed up the process. I am hoping we will get pregnant before then. It is very difficult to not want to pee on a stick every time I get a headache or sneeze.

The wait is rough.
I am sending baby wishes your way!

I'm assuming that my cycle is going to take a few more weeks to go back to normal from after D&C

. Still no sign of AF and still BFN. This really sux cos I wish something, anything would happen.

My SIL had a M/C a few months before me and we're going to get together over the weekend (hopefully) to talk about things. I'm also going to look into acupuncture and herbal therapy.

Will check back in, in a week or so.

Haha finishing up grad school and internship, if those are hobbies..

also facebook/wordswithfriends/drawsomething

I am just letting things happen, trying to be cool like a cucumber as not to stress myself out, which only makes it harder to conceive.. Basically, I am trying not to waste too much money on too early tests. I only plan to take on on AF day.

I'm glad you have someone you know that you can talk to about it Scorpio. Don't wander off too far though! We're always here too if you want to vent. Let us know when AF shows, and we can count start again.

Good luck checking into the alternative therapies too. Hopefully you'll find something that's useful for you.

Gradschool is totally a hobby...! lol it's been one of mine for the past, oh, 6 years or so now!

What are you taking at school? Are you working on a masters or a doctorate? I'm currently working on my doctorate in medieval church history. 3 years into that, with probably 2 more to go.

I try to keep myself busy too so that I don't get too stressed out about TTC! DH and I play trivia every Tuesday night with a group of friends at a local pub, and we both really like boardgames so we play a lot of games too. I'm looking forward to softball season starting up again so I can be outside more often and away from my computer!

I hear you on the test strips... they're not cheap! I bought a multi-pack online so I don't feel as guilty testing, but it still certainly adds up. I try to hold off as long as I can before AF is due to test, and I feel like if I wasn't part of this forum I probably could! lol But everyone is very keen on testing all the time and knowing as soon as possible... it gets into your brain that you should too!
