Nikki-I hope you get the surprise BFP! I'm with Cassidy, I think you guys will end up being able to conceive naturally. Doctors can be too negative and give up too easily sometimes in my opinion. No matter what, though, you will get a baby! Also, I agree with Emily about the BM=CM thing. I assumed the bearing down thing, but the "opening" things up makes sense too...
Rachel-First of all, I don't think talking about your cm is ever TMI in this group! We've talked about all kinds of CM, doggie style, BMs and everything else...I think we are all comfortable with it now lol
Your chart looks good. Don't get discouraged yet! I'm hoping you see a BFP this month!
Cassidy-As far as the temping, I usually wake up several times before I actually take my temp. Not only do I hit snooze a million times, but sometimes I wake up before that bc I start anticipating my alarm lol Basically mornings are NOT good for me. However, my temps can be a little crazy sometimes, but they aren't horrible. I started temping vaginally this month and I think that's helped. I wouldn't worry too much about it. After you O, you should be able to see a shift, then the craziness right now won't seem so bad.
Emily-I'm so sorry DH is having a difficult time finding a job...Something will come along though! Don't let it get you down yet. Even if he has to do something else for a while, something will come along...
