Anyone else counting down to April 1st?

[url=https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/427d81/]https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/427d81/thumb.png[/URL] Today's temp has me super depressed because it looks like THE DECLINE is beginning :,, ( I think I should stop temping. Tomorrow will probably dip into the 97's and it is going to crush me!
 
I start temping always after AF flow has fully stopped... usually mine lasts 5/6 days, so by 7th or 8th I start temping because by then usually my temps have settled into a balance of estrogen dominance and not chaotic or high temps from the LP or pregesterone. My temp today was still in the 98's but bsrely. I don't think I have it in me to keep temping past the 10 dpo that I am because I have weird cramps and no other symtpoms really... so I am starting to lose hope... it seems the temps are now stabilizing and reached the plateau. There is non more staircase/elevation going on... I'll post the chart

The only reason I temp everyday is because I feel certain I am going to end up at a fertility doctor and that whoever it is, is going to want to see everyday. ??? I don't know how it works, but your way looks less stressful. I know what you mean when it goes down a little bit you think, its over! But that didn't look like a huge decrease so hopefully it stays elevated. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!
 
Charting is so amazing Diddy. I mean it's so empowering to know every detail of what's going on. It's so accurate that I even was able to tell the doctor my exact ovulation day and my due date with my first pregnancy, better than what the ultrasound could detect!

I would like to hope that the cramps I had day before yesterday, yesterday, and today are from the fertilized egg trying to burrow and nestle itself into my uterus walls... I have heard if you practice visualization and imagery it does help do something, but then again maybe it's all mumbo jumbo. I read this really great book along time ago called Conquering Infertility (yellow paperback book). You can find it on Amazon. The techniques in the book really helped me relax and accept of a lot of things, and only a quarter way into reading it, I conceived my first child. I'd recommend it for that reason. Anything that I can suggest to help you all and help others with this struggle to conceive... I know how it feels because my first was never easy to conceive, and at that time I was only 26 years old, and I was really feeling horrible that I was having the problems I was having at such a young age... but I blame it on the years of birth control I had been on halting ovulation completely, and I had been annovulatory. Clomid fixed me up and as soon as I started O'ing, It took only 5 cycles of true trying (while ovulating) that I conceived. I'd say that was a fair amount of short time it took if I consider my body didn't even work properly beforehand. It took me about 10 cycles of charting to realize I was annovulatory and going through heavy withdrawal from the birth control pill and nuva ring. Believe it or not, I even had bought this one book called "Cooking to Conceive" and made all kinds of meals and power smoothies to help make me more fertile. I had really wanted a boy too, so I went on this diet that was supposed to change the acidity of my vagina to favor the survival of the boy-making sperm lol. Oh man, I did so many different things!! I even followed all the wives tales of crazy things to do to make a boy. BUt anyways, it all seemed to work. I even made my partner drink soda and coffee and wear socks and point his head north, and we BD on a quarter moon. LOL!!

This time around I honestly have no problems except that I'm 10 lbs underweight and have a lot of stress going on with taking care of my 3 yr old 24/7 as well as just some personal emotional ordeal going on that's been sitting heavy with me for a while which I'm trying to do my best to get through. Anyways, I think it's just all the timing that has to correlate for me right now in order to achieve success. This is the first chart I've had to look this hopeful and this darn good. I am going to be at true war with my body and be pretty furious and hurt if this is a joke my body is playing with this chart looking like this! It's too good to be true really... If I do get my BFP from this cycle girls.... my barely used tube of Preseed is up for grabs!!! I will ship it out to one of you that needs it, maybe just throw me down some shipping money :)
 
Well, it's terrible news for me... I just did a cervix check, and I saw the smallest, ittiest bit of speck of blood. I mean, it was sooo tiny, that it was probably less than half the size of a grain of sand, but I still could see it if I looked closely enough, and I have had cramps for 2-3 days now which I have been very sensitive to feeling because I've been like a hawk trying to feel for implantation, but anyways I do not spot during pregnancies, so I know this is definitely AF on the way, which now my hope is like at 1% chance, and instead of expecting a baby, the only thing i am expecting now is the decline in my temps, so I will just go ahead and temp until the end of this cycle cause it's obvious whats going to happen with the temps at this point :( I'm soo sad... I really thought again that this was it... So, I guess see you all again like mid June I'll be back to the post... I'll be back again... promise! I will also check in and see if there is any good news of bfp's periodically. Keep trying girls... it will happen. I am trying to keep the faith!
 
SM reading your post took me back in time i was 23 when i started ttc my first & conceived him at 28. 5 years later i look back now & at that time thought i would never conceive him after 2 years i too thought right time to get serious. Didn't know about temping wish i did so got tested etc & i too had a problem with ovulation i was ovulating but they said levels were low. Dh was fine, i too conceived him on clomid after 11 months of being on it & that cycle i tried epo, carrot juice, preseed first time used opks & conceived. Second time i was worried about same happening after being on bc pill for 6 yrs but had one withdrawel bleed & conceived straight away. Doc advised to give a couple cycles before ttc again & i am now onto fourth cycle , third actively trying as missed one month. Anyway i'm so glad for internet & these forums as i felt so alone ttc first time this time so glad i have other women to share this journey with.
Anyway hopefully it will happen soon for everyone afm still at sisters & haven't tested today, no spotting yet. But i wont hold my breath as just woke up so might start later. 10dpo today.
 
Sirous. I feel like that was the story of where I am. I started trying to conceive number 1 at age 25...after seven months and five months of charting and using opks I knew I was not ovulating. 5 cycles of clomid later and then age 26, I conceived but it ended in miscarriage. I am now coming up on 6 months after miscarriage, 19 months trying to conceive over all. This is my 8th round of clomid, third since miscarriage.

I was on birth control for 3-4 years before hand, but I sort of feel like I always had ovulation issues, I'd never had bad periods my bleeding was more of an inconvenience.
 
Mom2Sam, no i wasn't using opks this cycle because we had stopped trying for a month with moving house etc. But we only BD once in my fertile window and after working it all out my cycles had shortened and I had hit bang on ov day. We had been timing it a couple of days out each month waiting realising. But anyway yeah, i have always gotten my bfp early but this time at 9dpo it was a stark negative. It was still fairly faint although obvious at 13dpo. Used my last frer this morning because i have yellowy snot like cm and the test line came up nice and dark straight away. Im 16dpo today.

Our bodies are so confusing aren't they. If you don't get af spotting today you need to test when you get home! Or go to the shop and get a test today ;) x
 
As u ladies can see I have stopped temping cos I just couldn't handle it. I am 6 DPO today. Hoping this cycle is lucky for us all ! :dust:
 
Aw sirouseman, hope you get relief from personal issues .. and dont lose hope yet :)
Kell I hope your bean is just being shy :) Diddy and Mom2sam, how many days till you test?
 
Hey ladies still at sisters & 10dpo today haven't tested & no spotting yet if no spotting by tmrw i'l test when i get home.
SM reading your post took me back to when i was ttc my first 5 long years & tests later came down to me having low ovulation levels & a year later on clomid i conceived. Second time round i was on bc pills for 6 years & was worried i would have same problem but conceived straight away but mc at 8 weeks. Now onto fourth cycle. Hang in there ladies it will happen but whilst ttc sometimes we start to worry if it ever will & can get tough.

MolGold i tested at 9dpo & bfn haven't tested again but if spotting doesn't start i will again tmrw.

Kel i hope i did test early but i just feel out & keep thinking spotting going to start going to wait til tmrw x
 
Mongold- my first test will be at 8dpo which is June first. My luteal phase is 12 days so if I'm pregnant I want to catch it early because dr will put me on progesterone.
 
I'm still gettin shooting pains right down middle of abdomen lol althou not very often lol tested today at 8dpo n bfn but that's to be expected and still getting the yellow cm

I actually read the other day even if u get implantation dip it doesn't necessary mean implantation happens that day lol
 
Fx crossed for everyone x
No spotting yet for me still got creamy cm & no symptoms either no cramps etc 3 more days until af is due if i dont have no spotting tmrw i might get a little hopeful past few cycles had 2/3 days spotting before af but bet i say this & then jinx myself lol x
 
Wiped & tiny bit of brown tinged cm which at this point normally means spotting will soon follow & then af
