MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

@littlesteph: I've always used el cheapos and never had an evap. I have had two faint evaps on FRER's - just my experience.

@Lazydaisys: I'm right there with you. If I didn't know exactly what was going on, I'd still be trying to figure it out and keep track of it (unofficially, in my head) - I find it's easier to temp and check and OPK or HPT and move on with my day. This will continue to work out brilliantly, until I get a BFP and go into shock!
 
OurLilFlu - That's such a beautiful surprise for your DH! I think you will both have wonderful memories of that day for the rest of your lives. <3

I would love to surprise my K when it happens for us but I don't think I could hide it from him. He's pretty involved with all of the symptom spotting and excited to talk about TTC so far, so I think he would figure it out. I would probably just end up spilling too. We've been super close friends since our early twenties (he's 31, I'm 29), officially together almost 2 years and I moved in over a year ago. So it's hard to keep anything a secret for very long at this point. :dohh: It sounds like you did an amazing job making sure he had no idea what was coming! :haha:

This month he keeps saying he thinks we're going to get a BFP. I like his optimism and excitement about TTC but it's also kind of stressing me out! :hissy: At least there's only a few more days to pass until expected af.....

@Lazydaisys and ClandestineTX I agree too, I know I would get wayyyy too stressed out about TTC if I couldn't confirm O day and know when to expect AF. My cycle isn't 100% regular so I need to know when AF is actually late and when I'm just having a longer cycle. OH and I are both analytically minded people and so far he likes charting too, he thinks seeing actually seeing my temps change in response to hormones is very cool! :thumbup: I haven't used OPKs yet, maybe next month, but I've been charting religiously every day.

Today is the first day I've had any stress over my chart, and that's just because I saw the word "triphasic." :dohh:
 
@Tangerine... that's been my largest issue with trying not to feel disappointed this time. My hubs is actually asking me every morning what the results are, wanting to know my temp and the ferning test results. He has even taken to rubbing and talking to my belly already.

I hate to feel like I continually disappoint him since we haven't had a positive yet.
 
My dr told me do not temp or opk just bd 2-3 times a week and if its going to happen it will happen. I had already tried this for a year. Now I find it stressful to not determine ovulation, I just the cbfm and then double check with a digital. I only test usually for about 7 days. Once I've had the o I don't temp or track because what's done is done... I do symptom spot though because I can't help myself! And pregnancy testing -I'm an addict. I'm going to try and cut down on that.

Im also wishing my life away. Can't wait until AF so I can start a new cycle, can't wait until ov, can't wait to test, can't wait to try again..... Can't wait for bfp! Can't wait to actually have a baby!

I have heard if it is going to happen..it will happen..all the time!! JUST HAPPEN ALREADY!! LOL!

I feel the same way! Can't wait for a bfp and a baby! Good luck hun :)
 
@Tangerine: Hubster did that to me a few cycles ago - he just "knew" and "had a feeling" that he'd "done it" - I actually felt really out that cycle and tried not to drown his excitement with my blah-ness... and then I had to tell him he was wrong. First time ever telling that man he was wrong hurt me.
 
So I took an opk yesterday morning and it was getting darker than the day before but not positive yet, took one last night and if it wasn't positive it was super closer, dtd last night. This morning my opk was VERY positive way darker than the control line. I'm hoping we will dtd but hubby will be home super late from a baseball game. So I'm thinking June 30th will still work for an early testing date it will be 12 pdo. So we shall see what happens. :-)
@burgbrandy I hate when things happen that force a change in temps. :dohh:

@littlesteph I hope that second line gets color soon. Good luck! :thumbup:

@omgbaby I'm sorry. :hugs: It sucks when she comes, but it's way worse when it hurts. I'll add you to TBA for now.

@MzImpatient Good luck! I hope this is your BFP! Sticky dust! Any advice for how this cycle went or what you did? :happydance:

@Ruskiegirl I hope this is it for you! Those all sound like good signs. Good luck! :thumbup:

@OurLilFlu Good for you for standing up for yourself and getting that graph. I think I'll do the same when it comes time! :happydance:

@KatyW I hope you're one of those BFPs around the corner. :winkwink: Those sound like good signs! Fingers crossed!

@Tangerine Fingers crossed for a BFP on Sunday! :flower:

@Mme2kdee Oh no! I'm sorry. That's so frustrating. :hugs:

@stargazer0726 I'll move you to June 30th for now and I can update when you're sure about ovulation. I hope this cycle is better and that you get your BFP! :flower:
 
Ourlilflu- that was an adorable.story! Definitely one you will remember for years to come!

My DH is going to be in New York for business on the day AF is due. Since I'm not testing early, I know I'll want to test that morning if AF doesn't show up. I.asked him if it was okay if I test without him there and he was like "No! I want to be here when we get a positive not find out about it later!" I Dont know if I'll be able to hold out an extra day though if the witch stays away!

:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
It's been said to me a lot also.:growlmad:
I'm actually bored of the whole process:coffee:

:dohh:
 
Aaaaaaaaaaah. Today I just entered my lower temp, it was 97 F and it change my O day. AGAIN!! How?? My temp is lower, not higher.

HELP??

All things considered, my $$$ is on CD 26. I've been punished by fertility frenemy for inconsistent temps before... whether or not they were my own doing!

Thank you! That's what I think too. I mean I know my post O symptoms, and I definitely have been feeling them for awhile. Why else are my breasts huge? And I've been having AF cramps for days. Though with my temperature dip I'm pretty sure I shall be starting tomorrow or the next. The latest.
 
Btw hopeful my first midwife appt is July 22! Info night at the birth centre on Wednesday!
 
@ClandestineTX Another high temp! Now I want to see what Tuesday gives you. You had bd 3 days before and the day of if it does turn out to be cd 9. I'm still thinking it might drop again. Perhaps it has something to do with all that exercise?!? :shrug: I noticed you upped it every month; you must be getting in shape! :thumbup:

@littlesteph :hugs: Do you have any other types of tests? I know it is hard for both of you to see the negatives and the "maybes". I hope you get a good solid answer soon.

@KatyW Thanks so much! I do think those temps look so good. They just keep climbing higher! You have been so sweet and I hope you and your husband get to celebrate a BFP for his birthday! Good luck! :happydance:

@AllStar What a terrible surprise af must have been. :hugs: I'm not really sure what might have caused it to come so much earlier this month. Do you stress enough usually to delay ovulation and maybe you didn't this time? I know; that's a long shot. Did you monitor your cm at all this time or notice any ovulation type pains? Or did you do anything different this month like eating differently, traveling, or exercising? I'm sorry this happened when you were trying to relax. Are you going to start temping and monitoring it again this cycle? Shall I move you to TBA until you're sure?

@Tangerine Thanks! It's definitely a good sign that FF says it could be triphasic. I hope your temps stay high. Good luck on Thursday! Fingers crossed!! :flower:

@chulie & @nikkilucky77 Great! I hope the more relaxed approach helps. I will continue to temp because I think I would go crazy if I didn't have any idea what was going on. However, I am going to try to stop thinking about life in two week increments. :haha:

@nikkilucky77 Think of the maternity leave and the summer break combined! Good luck to you! :flower:

@Lazydaisys Doesn't it annoy you for doctors to give you such an unscientific answer? :haha: I agree; I have to temp to know when ovulation is. I will plan bd every day around it, but I hope to slow down the rush to get to it and definitely the rush to get to testing/af time.

@OurLilFlu I know it must have been so hard to keep it from him, but what an exciting way to tell him! I am all for grand gestures and secret planning. I usually do something like that for birthdays and Christmas. I am so happy for you and now the adventure can begin for both of you! :happydance: I'll add the appointments to the front!

@ProfWife That's very neat. I guess it's like when the temp can drop in the lp for implantation or for the estrogen surge as well. Very cool. I agree about the disappointment as well. My husband always knows the temp drop at the end of the month is bad. It's great that he is involved, but it sucks when he knows it's bad. It's like I can try to avoid it myself, but knowing he knows makes it more real I guess. I think we all feel like we are the one who is disappointing each other. :hugs:

@stargazer0726 Good luck! :flower:

@kksy9b My husband wants to be the one to dip/use the dropper on the tests! I love that he cares, but I always think it would be nice to sneak a little. :haha:

@pennymarie :hugs: I agree with ClandestineTX. I'd say cd 26. I'll be interested to see what your temp does tomorrow.
 
I've gotten a very faint second line on a cheap-o test. I think it may be the start of a BFP, but I need to wait a few days to see what happens. In limbo over here.

I thought those temps looked good! I hope so much that you get two dark lines soon!! :winkwink:
 
At least the :witch: is being kind this cycle , I have hardly any cramps and if they come they are minor :thumbup:
 
Thanks, lady. Still so early, but hopefully I'll see dark lines in a few days.
 
Hi ladies could do with some advice....I am on cd 15 and am just ovulating today (which is late for me as the past 2 months it's been cd 10) we dtd on cd 9, cd 11 and last night on cd 14. Well when i wiped this morning and noticed my usual ovulating symptoms - a very clear, stretchy cm i also noticed slithers of blood in it and i am a bit crampy this morning.

A little worried so any advice would be good. xxx

Hope you get that bfp hunni. xxx
 
Hardly slept at all last night (30-40 minutes if I were to guess). Took temp before I got out of bed, but I'm sure it's a "to be discarded" temp.

Test this AM was clearly negative.
