Jodes!!! I can't see a line, but I'm CRAP at seeing lines but I'm warming up in the wings for you, yea!!!

haha don't worry dh can't see it either and tbh i've gotten a headache from all the line watching today

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

Good luck Jodes, I hope tomorrow is darker!

 

[Viking15]

Jodes, I see a line! Fingers crossed. I need to see a FRER please!

The witch hasn't appeared. Perhaps waiting, lurking in the clouds. I'm too scared to POAS, all I have is a digital and I can't handle seeing "Not Pregnant", again. This was a strange month, I ovulated early and only started temping once I noticed that. So all indications, my CM & temp and past temping months show I O'd on CD 11 and I'm currently 15 dpo. I'm usually 13 LP. So maybe I'm just having a really long LP or I O'd later than I think. I was at the grocery store staring at FRERs but couldn't bring myself to buy one. I don't think I'm pg, just having a strange month.

 

[dachsundmom]

Truthfully, I think your OV day is off.

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

It probably is. I just tried to match up my chart with the rest of my months. I'm not temping at all next month, it just drives me

Your other chart shows an OV of CD15?

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

Yep, I had been consistently O'ing around CD 15 and when we got DH's SA results I decided to stop temping and just try to relax while we worked it out but I was still checking my CM. I had a week off at the beginning of this month and completely relaxed. I then noticed my cm becoming fertile really early so I started temping. I read that stress can delay O and make temps erratic. I thought maybe I relaxed so I O'd when I'm supposed to and my temps have never been this steady.

What I meant by matching up with my other months is the temps. I know I O'd early b/c my temps rose. 97.1 is usually the day after O and DPO 11 is the highest temp with a drop on dpo 12. Each month. But since this month has been different in other ways, I'm sure it's possible to be different with temps too. I know I O'd early, just not sure the exact day.

I'm trying to post my other months too.

Ok...I see what you are saying now...but, I am not trying to bring you down, you seem to get two steady dip temps before AF...which you have had the last two days.

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

Oh Dmom, you're not bringing me down at all, I really appreciate the input! I peaked on Nov 23rd and began my usual pre-AF dip on the 24th. I then went out of town and didn't temp on Friday or Sat. My temp this morning was the same on the Thursday, 24th, 97.73. So, I don't know if that means anything, probably not but it didn't continue to decrease. Maybe it will tomorrow.

What do you think ladies, should i POAS tonight when i get home and look for another EVAP? It would all be in the name of science LOL

Yes! Gotta love a bit of scientific research .

I have a POAS question - I ov'd the last 2 cycles on CD#15 so based on that when should I start doing the OPKs? And morning or afternoon? Just want to get my cycle 4 schedule prepared . Thanks ladies!

 

[MommyToBeIsMe]

Well, if it's in the name of science I think it's your moral obligation to POAS!!

Wendy the one you posted the other night with a line on it, was that a POAS or was that good old Glasgow tap water?

it was 100% wendy pee. lol

I only did the tap water one to get DH off my case.

 

[dachsundmom]

I hate the OneStep tests.

 

[Butterfly67]

Wends, no, I think we should all go back to waiting until cd9 like I seem to recall we used to do lol

Keeks, I think start testing once a day at cd12 just in case you O early and then when the line gets to about 50% go to 3 times a day lol

 

[dachsundmom]

M, cd9?

 

[Butterfly67]

M, cd9?

oops sorry 9dpo!
