[Mme2kdee]

Well about to go bed , I started getting pinching pain near my right ovary FX its implantation pain

FX'd Ruskie!!! I hope it is implantation!!!

 

[Mme2kdee]

I'm in one of those moods today.. After a low temp, bfn & knowing my friend has a newborn I'm upset. I just want to stay in my room & be alone..

Oh hun I am so sorry it is a rough day for you!! I am still rooting for a BFP for you! When is af expected? Maybe it isn't too late. What the room temp different? Did you get less sleep? It could be something like that!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I can relate to being upset with friends having a baby now....I would say half the people I know are pregnant and didn't try and here I have been trying 7 months. I know we will get our BFPs when we are supposed to. Take time to relax and love yourself today!

I totally agree about the friends being pregnant!! It was a little cold in the room but I always have the fan on so not sure. I slept on couch til 2 then went in bedroom so that could be something. Who knows I'm hoping it goes up & stays up over the next few days!
AF due Wednesday.

Hold off! You may implant as late as 12 DPO you know and a bfn now will suck, even if it means a probable BFP later!

omgbaby,

I know that things that get discouraging at times. Know that your time will come soon. Keep hoping and praying. GOD Bless and big hugs.

Well my temp rose FX chart is looking good so far

 

[Mme2kdee]

Ruskie - looks good!!!

kirstyjane13 - I am a POAS addict so I test a lot - I finally bought 20 cheapies just to satisfy my addiction. My advice would be not to test though! If you test too early it sucks to get disappointed. Try to hold off.....

omgbaby - I sure hope that is why it dropped!! I am praying you get your BFP!

Hows everyone today? Im trying to hold out til thursday for testing but ny inner demon is telling me to test tomorrow xx

I know how you feel , I know I test to early but I just can't help it I buy 50-100 hpts and 50-100 poks every few months just to satisfy my poas addiction

 

[omgbaby]

I tried to check my cervix earlier but I really don't know what to look for exactly but I THINK it was open. Who really knows. No real symptoms today
Also, when I woke up I had a glob of creamy cm but since then its been watery & when I put it on chart it made my cross hairs dotted.

HI Everyone :wave:,

DH finally made it home yesterday so we BD twice already. I know that you are suppose to space it out but we figured since he has been gone for over two weeks, he has a nice build up of . I hope this is the case. I am starting to accept this first round of clomid as my test round to see when exactly I ovulate so I am not really expecting anything from this round. I had an unconscious argument with myself and won.

I never knew when I ovulated and according to the info I read about clomid users days 5-9, I should ovulate between tomorrow and the following week Wednesday. I am hoping for tomorrow but will not let my hopes escalate too much.

CD14 for me. I've been OPK testing daily and getting pretty much the same results. Got a darker line two days ago but still a negative. I may end up investing in the monitor that everyone it talking about. I go to see my doctor on the 17th to see if I ovulated. The 17th will be CD22 for me. CD21 for me falls on a Sunday. This is just an update. My test results are attached.

I think temping is different for everyone and until you try it you won't know if it works for you. I can't speak to your first question as I tend to sleep pretty soundly (esp since my caffeine intake plummeted), but as far as the 2nd and third, for me temping didn't add stress, it actually eased some of it. I am a very scientific person and I liked having information and feeling like I was doing something proactive. It made me feel less helpless and I completely believe it helped me to make better decisions (for instance when my prog. BW came back low I was calm because I knew it was only 3dpo instead of the 7dpo that the doc had intended- I demanded it to be redone based on my schedule, not the assumed 28 day cycle, and when done properly it turned out my prog was perfect, and did not require the clomid the doctor had wanted).
My suggestion would be to try it for 3 months. The first month or two you are just gathering info and you have to treat it that way. Don't expect to have your cycle all figured out within the first month of temping. You want to find patterns, and even if you're irregular (I was a bit irregular after my MC) you will STILL find some patterns. For me even realizing that my temp dropped every month at 2-3dpo (due to an extra estrogen surge) made me feel like I knew what was going on. By month three you will have a better sense of whether it is valuable to you or not.
My best friend tried temping and she found that it made her obsess about TTC as she thought about it every day. So for her it was bad, and she quit. Your call
Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the help. I think I will try it out, and see where it takes me. And, like your friend, if I get too obsessive, I can quit. No harm done either way. However, this may be what we need. After TTC for 3 years, a change might be nice.

Hi, ladies! It's CD 2 for me. I'm considering trying temping. Here's my worries though. Please tell me what you think:
1) I don't sleep well, EVER! Will temping even be possible?
2) TTC is stressful. I already do OPK's. Do you think this will make me more stressed?
3) My cycles are long! Lately, they have ranged from 36-42 days!!!

Thank you in advance for any opinions or advice! And I enjoyed the gun conversation

Just my opinion..
I use clear blue monitor and sometimes other ovulation a tests to see if they tally around ovulation.I tried temping but had enough after about four days. I personally found it stressful. I like to leave all monitoring and try and relax after ovulation. I know lots of girls on here love tempting so it must work for some people... X

Thank you for replying. I'm afraid I might hate it, also, but I might as well give it a chance. Hopefully, it won't drive me COMPLETELY insane! I'm already halfway there!

Momwithbabies - I just started temping. This will be my first official month - my cycles are normally 28days but last month was 40. I started temping last month on cd21 and it help since I didn't O until cd28. It can be stressful but just dont get too down on yourself if you forget one morning the first month. I am finding it helpful and also it is something for me to do every day of the month to keep me on track and excited. I am someone who wants to do something throughout the month besides opks to see any possible change and this helps me so far! I would highly recommend it. My OB also was happy I decided to try because it will give her a better outlook of my cycle and what's going on.

It takes getting used to but now I am used to it and love it!

I'm glad to hear that you like temping! I think I'm going to try it out. I honestly can't say I will like it or not, but I think it's worth a try. And like you said, it might be good info. for me and my doctor.
