aw Sam try in the morning hun
I had another dream that I tested positive ran out of the room and woke my dh up to tell him the good news so of course once again, I took he test and didn't peek, woke my dh up and bam Negative! But like you all said its probably too early. My cycles usually go for 30 days but last cycle of clomid I had a 28 day cycle so who knows what this one is doing? I'll test tomorrow or Tuesday, GRRRR Its just frustrating that I keep having these dreams.

smile - If you got your positive OPK on the 20th, and today is the 30th, you might only be 8dpo. On 2 of my cycles, it took 2 more days after the positive before I ovulated. (other cycle it took 1 more day to ovulate so you could be 9dpo).
I HATE those positive pregnancy test dreams... of course that's only because they've never come true so its just teasing!

Emma - when you finally get your appointment in July, tell your FS that you are not OK with being totally shut out like that.... things change during that time and not getting your test results is crazy. Maybe your FS can change your file so that the nurse is authorized to tell you your numbers etc. Of course, here's hoping you don't need it!

Me - my temp was back down today, my OPK was very very blank yesterday though which had me discouraged.. maybe my temps will behave themselves now and my ovaries will get to work. I got a little too much sun yesterday and am a little pink. Basically I need sunscreen, but I'm scared to use mine after I read that one of the ingredients in my brand can cause 'hormonal or fertility issues'

hey ladies -

yeah for Oving delilah!!!!

Lisa - your temps will probably start to drop...looks like you had a nice temp today.

smile- might be too early...as you might have implanted late...it takes about 4 days for implantation and then 2 days for hcg to get strong enough to show.

Britt - Yep well I think I oved yesterday...but didnt get the kind of bding in I would have liked because of DH back...read my update and you tell me what you think!

emma - babydust to you this month!

Well as for me....as you know DH hurt his back on Thursday and was on some serious pain meds and muscle relaxers...well we dtd on Wednesday but not again until saturday which was also Ov day. About an hour after dtd I started having horrible cramping...and I thought it was the softcup..I took the softcup out about 4 hours later but the cramps got worse...I took some advil and a bathe and went to sleep. So I am thinking that bding we did on saturday was probably to late...isnt it best to bd a day before Ov?

 

[lisaf]

I think the reason they say to do the day before ovulation is to make sure the sperm have time to travel up to meet the egg right when it comes out. There is still a chance if you dtd on ovulation day but it just narrows the window (if you dtd in the evening and the egg released in the morning for example.

 

[ttcbaby117]

well if i go by my pains as actual Ov then I would say that I oved an hour or 2 after bding yesterday....ugh who knows, Ijust know this is my last chance before surgery so I am freaking that we didnt do it at the right time to give us optimal chances yaknow?

 

[keepsmiling]

I'm having a really tough weekend. My good friend is visiting me and is pregnant. She's really great and doesn't in any way rub it in and hasn't said anything that women who haven't had trouble getting pregnant sometimes say. Its just the fact that she's pregnant and I'm not. That every sign of her pregnancy just makes me think 'why can't I get pregnant when everyone else can'

Almost into my 10th month TTC.. I know that most couples are pregnant at this point. I know I'm not alone, that all you gals are here going through the same thing, but you're just voices on the internet and here is this big pregnant belly in my face, you know?

I tried to talk to DH about it, and he just smiled, put his hand on my shoulder and told me 'it'll be your turn soon enough'.... which is exactly what EVERYONE has told me since day 1 of trying. Each month they're sure THIS month is the month and each month its not... the blind, patronizing reassurance is just hurtful.

Thanks for letting me vent.

 

[samfitz]

good morning ladies well no sign of af this morning an too nervous to test again yeah im a wuss but can stand the good old bfn so im going to leave it while tomorrow been getting some pulling in the pit of my stomach but that could be nerves an also feeling the need to go to the loo alot an i dont mean for a pee (tmi) not been able to sleep so i got up at 5 an made some chocolate muffins kept me occupied for half an hour hubby still in the land of nod need him to get up an keep me sane x x x x

 

[Onelildream]

Lisa-Sucks, huh? I just took a test (I'm 10dpo) and a BFN. I know it's early but I was really hoping for it. I think I'm out. I just don't feel like it will happen today. I know what you mean about seeing others pregnant. Yesterday I spent the day with a gal that's about 7months along and I just kept looking at her like "How did you get so lucky?" I know some might think the same about me with my kids, but truth is, when you are trying to conceive AND waiting to be pregnant, we're all in the same boat. We all hurt.

Sam-I'm praying for you, Babe! I'm hoping your symptoms are from pregnancy, Sweetie!

Smile-Sorry about your test and dream. I got a BFN too. It's early, yet! It's not over till AF gets us! FX, Sweetheart!

Well, BFN today, but that doesn't mean too much at 10dpo. I didn't implant with my last prengnancy till 10dpo. Even if I'm not pregnant, well, atleast I'll be back on cycle day 1 on Friday or Saturday! WoooHoooo!

 

[Smile4me]

Good morning ladies!
Well I am in the hospital with atrial fibriliation , been here since 12:30 yesterday took the kids to the grocery store and while there, I started having rapid heart beat by the time the ambulance came it was 229 bpm... I stayed over night because my heart hasn't converted on its own so I've been poked and proded and given blood thinners because they say clomid can cause blood clotting They did a hpt yesterday when they admitted me but it was a bfn as it was in the morning so I keep telling them I don't want anymore meds until I am confirmed not to be BFP, they just ordered blood work for it and I am waiting for an echo cardiologist to look at my chart and see what the hell is going on with this 35 year old body of mine. They have my heart beats under control by administering meds through an IV, OH MY..... my kids were so scared but they did great by helping their mom

Still no real signs of AF, I have minor cramping in my lower back but at this point I just don't know

Sam sweetie, I undersand not wating to take a test it is depressing so go with with your gut feeling

Lisa - I can't imagine being in your shoes hunny, I know its hard. Just try to keep the positive thoughts sweetie, keep your chin up and know that you can vent to us anytime!

Good Luck everyone, I'll keep you posted but I am in the best place to be with my "condition" ... youngest patient on the floor...hehe but at least I have my laptop
DH has been a REAL GEM!!!!
