Yay, jgo for arriving in the tww! Fingers crossed for you!

Sorry AF got you, Phoenix. I temp orally too. I usually take my temp 3 times, at least one on each side of my mouth, to make sure my temp is accurate. For some reason my left side is always higher than the right. I take whatever temp is highest.

Afm - I'm 95% sure I'm out. It's 13dpo today and temp took a huge nose dive. Plus a bfn yesterday and AF-like cramps the last couple of days. Trying to decide which natural remedies to try this next cycle so I can O earlier than cd 23. A little nervous to try soy isoflavones because it seems more risky. Vitex works for me, but I didn't really want to HAVE to go on progesterone once I got a bfp in order to stop taking Vitex. I'll have to go back and look at that list that was posted here. Also may try red raspberry, preseed and soft cups. Maybe just throw everything at it!

jgo - love the pic!!! and yay for perfectly timed donations

trixie - way to go, vixen but I was going to say that either way you were still in it since the can survive a little while up there

camp - so sorry you're feeling down. it's so hard not to feel empty when are bodies are literally cleaning out I feel like the the immediate sadness of getting AF has gotten easier and easier with each month, but the long term stress and anxiety that it will never happens get worse. One thing that does make me feel better though is that I think my chances are increased each month due to sheer statistics. Each month the percentage of couples getting pregnant goes up, so our chances are now higher than they were before!

ksquared - sorry about the bfns and temp dip I don't know anything about vitex or soy, but I do drink RRLL tea. It helped with my CM! I don't know if it's supposed to have any affect on timing of O, but each month I keep O'ing later and later. Ugh, it's probably stress. hoping this month is an early O for us all!

CD 4. AF is almost like a bad memory. Chugging along.

thanks you guys. i used OPKs last cycle, and i think i am going to add temping to this one. any recommendations on a basal thermometer? i'd like to go out and get one today, so i can start tomorrow. also, do you temp orally or vaginally?

trixie fingers crossed!

I temp vaginally bc if you're a mouth breather like me, your temps will be a mess.

 

[mommyxofxone]

I'm a mouth breather! Didnt seem to hurt my temps. Always temp orally cause vaginally freaks me out

 

[corgankidd]

Can you add me to the list? I think I will start testing on the 16th

 

[beemeck]

welcome corgan! FX and to you!!!

Getting frer tomorrow x

 

[dizzy65]

I will be testing November 9th fingers crossed for everyone!!

 

[jGo_18]

My opks are still super positive... & I know we are doing a donation tonight and with my temp rose this morning, I think I already O'd. But.... I wonder if I should try to convince the wife to see if we can get another for tmrw too... Do you ladies think I'll be alright with today being the last even with my tests being this dark?

 

[beemeck]

Welcome dizzy !! Fx for you

Jgo- that seems darker than yesterday. And i also think your temp rise wasn't enough so my money is on that you haven't O yet.... Are you able to skip tonight and do tomorrow instead? That way you are doing every other day and covering for o possibly being 36 hours from now ?

 

[jGo_18]

I could probably skip tonight and do tmrw... It doesn't look as dark as that in real life... I think last nights is still the darkest in person. I'll have to verify that when I get home. Gah... I usually have a short surge so I'm hesitant to wait. And if my temps go up tmrw and Saturday FF is gonna cross hair me at yesterday (I fiddled with it to see what it would do)...

 

[Conundrum]

Jgo You've done a few inseminations, yes? If so either would work. Even if you went ahead tonight they can last 3 days. Go with whatever makes you comfortable.

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

I have everything crossed for you jGo

Mine did the same thing. My temp rose but my opk was darker than the previous day. We dtd anyways and my temp went up again the next day. I'd do insem tonight, but that's totally up to whatever makes you comfortable.

Oh! Good to hear! Decided to do it tonight and see what the temp does... If it continues to go up, we will call it good. If it doesn't and tests stay dark - we will talk to donor about more insems.
Thank you!!!!!

If you aren't actually ovulating the day you get a + opk do you count dpo 1 as the day after a positive opk or the actual predicted ovulation?
So much to learn, it's overwhelming!!

 

[gina236]

1 dpo is usually 2 days after the +. You get the + and usually ovulate the next day so the day after that is 1 dpo.

Anyone know if hot flashes are a symptom. Been having crazy hot flashes all night. I'm 4 dpo.

I had night sweats a couple of times before my first bfp. Didn't get the hot flashes, though. I do get them sometimes when AF is in full force. Good luck!
