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

Thanks so much ladies!!!!! I could not have survived this without any of you so ill be here to cheer you all on until we're all on the other side together!!!

Even looking at the test this morning it's even darker now! But ya, one more test and ill make it all official!!
 
@hopeforamirac I updated your date. How have you been? Are you liking the clearblue monitor? Fingers crossed for a BFP! :flower:

@chulie I hope you do stick around! I would miss your humor and your updates! :flower:
 
Congrats chulie!

My temp stayed up even with the time difference! Chart looks triphasic again, but i know that means nothing for me. I have 8 triphasic charts to prove that triphasic doesnt equal pregnancy. :( oh well, af not due til saturday so nothing to do but wait!

Ive had so much personal stuff going on hun but im bk now. The trials ok its almost done now as i have ovulated so i will have to send it bk soon lets hope i dont need to do much longer ttc :thumbup:
Thanks for asking :)
 
@chulie: for an early FRER, that's a GREAT line!

@burgbrandy: I hope you manage to keep busy this week and it feels like it passes quickly for you!

@Hopeful2014: I get so busy commenting on other people I forget my own updates sometimes, which is why I asked for yours when I didn't see it!!! If you want, post a link to your chart and we can tell you what we think? I would definitely keep DTD every 2-3 days if you aren't sure about ovulation. I know how frustrating that can be, which is why I was almost obsessive about OPKs this cycle, e.g. when it was getting late into my cycle and still no surge, I was testing every 6 hours! No surge until CD 20/21!

AFM... 4 DPO and I am still super excited to have a real ovulation date! I joined a group of ladies on another thread and there's been so many BFPs, hoping things work out for me so I can go on and be bump buddies with them! What I meant by not having a friend like me is the way I am hard on myself, or I should say have become hard on myself. I've always had lofty aspirations, but have not judged myself so harshly or been so unforgiving of my failure to do everything perfectly before now. Trying to shake that off and pay more attention when I do things well and feel good about steps in the right direction, no matter how small they may be! I really appreciate you keeping up with this thread all these months and also glad to call you my friend!
 
Congratulations Chulie!! And a BFP at 9dpo!! Early implantation bodes well for you! H&H 9mos!
 
Morning ladies!!! So it looks like I'm an official graduate of the "chulie" method! Hahaha. To say I am completely shocked is an understatement!!!!! I think I'm about 9 dpo?? Since the chulie method doesn't allow for accuracy I'm not really sure??!! Hahahahaha. Omg.......

:happydance::happydance::happydance: Congratulations! I definitely see the line!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance:

What comes next?

Thanks girlie!!!! Well I need to make sure that thing gets a tad darker but being a holiday here in Canada everything is friggen closed so ill have to wait and get another test on Tuesday and try again!! Make sure it darkens!!! :)

Congrats chulie :)...I'm so happy for you!!
 
Congrats chulie!! Sooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!

Hopeful - I hope you ovulated or ovulate soon so you can get your bfp!!! You deserve it a BFP!

Afm. Well my new clear blue fertility monitor does stop asking for me to text on cd 26 even though I haven't ovulated and I'm out of opks to see. I am cd 28 today still not temp rise. Last month I Od cd28. I'm hoping I O soon or start af soon so I can get on with it.

Congrats Chulie! That is indeed a beautiful line!!

I love this thread- it helped me so much :-) I'm constantly stalking to see new BFPs!

AFM- pregnancy progressing great- I'm officially 2nd trimester! My ticker is off though. After two losses I'm thrilled to make it to this milestone. My love is with you all- like some of you, I was beginning to get really down, thinking when the heck will this happen. Keep up the good trying ladies!
 
Fab news chulie! So pleased for you and this thread:-) you will have to remind me of the chulie method so I can recreate it! A lovely line. Hope to see you on the other side shortly:-) xx
 
chulie: I hope you don't mind, I have summarized the relevant references to the "chulie method" for everyone's planning purposes/ enjoyment. Sounds like you really had great timing with a fantastic O (and I'm seriously keeping my FX, because I think I have both too this time):

...I don't use opk... I just know my body's signals so I know "around" when I do. For example, this month I've had some back cramps and when I wiped today there was some cm..not an insane amount but enough for me to know I'm in the ovulation phase....so well be bd every day from now on until we get too tired. Hahahahaha.

I've been doing research on all the ovulation prediction methods. Temping is highly unreliable for pinpointing ovulation, like 30-40% accurate. 96-97% of women will ovulate on the day of a positive OPK or in the three days following one. CM is more reliable then temping, once it's gone, you've already ovulated (we can call it the Chulie method, here). If you are trying to be low-stress, I would suggest using something other than or in addition to temping. Temping, alone, will likely make you more stressed out if you are prone to stress.

Forgot to add - we didn't use OPKs, just used "chulie's method" and made sure to BD every day when I had anything resembling fertile CM. :winkwink: We also did it every 2-3 days otherwise until I could confirm O with my BBT. My CM, O symptoms and BBT shift painted a very obvious picture when taken together and we didn't really need to add anything else. I would usually expect O a few days later than it happened but we still managed to catch it by looking out for my EWCM. I think it just depends on how obvious your own signs are; some women will really benefit from the extra info from OPKs. I probably would have ordered some to try if we had not been so lucky. Good luck with whatever you choose to use!

:dust:

...Afm...well...definitely ovulating.....so as per the "chulie" method (which made me laugh hysterically to be referred to as that) we're continuing to get busy...still not sure when i want to test. Af is due on the 6th....Hopeful can you put me for testing on the 6th. I don't think ill be testing before that. Not after last month and the insanity of it all...unless there are any ridiculously obvious signs that make me change my mind. Like perhaps the word pregnant shows up on my forehead or something. Hahahahaha.

Oh and there was some "super moon" last night ladies so I hope we all got some bd in.....could be good luck??!?!?

If it doesn't work this month ill have to sit on the sidelines next month. Only because my entire friggen family is born in April...we seriously cannot afford another April baby..it's basically another Christmas...normally I'd never avoid a month because i just want to get pregnant but seriously I just know financially I like to go a little all out on birthdays and I don't want to feel like I have to give any child "less"....so I won't dissapear..but for next month ill just be cheering you all on from the sidelines!! :)

Kept this part to point out that you are going to hopefully have a March baby this time around!

@chulie Date updated. I'm so hopeful that you'll be announcing next month you won't have to worry about sitting it out. I'm hoping your method works for us both! :thumbup: I'm cd 16. I had ew yesterday and today. I am hoping that today will be ovulation day. The latest I've ovulated in the past (while tracking anyway) was cd 16, but it may be a bit off this month. I'm trying to stay positive. I've just thought of a bad joke...perhaps if I squeeze some of that positivity out at the end of the tww the test will soak up some of my positivity. Is that too far?!? :haha:

Have a great day!

Hahahaha.....never a bad joke, I really don't think that's too much to ask AT ALL!!! Ya....very interesting..I'm CD 18 today and...last month I didn't really have very much ewcm...I mean I had "bits"...enough to sorta let me know when I was ovulating....but this month it's like..."on like donkey kong"....I must be ovulating late though because i've had small amounts when I wipe since CD 14-ish.....but now it's like....when I pee I can see it really dripping out when I'm on the potty (yes I sit and watch my pee to watch for ewcm....:blush:) So.....it must be late "o"...which makes sense because I do have the occasional 30 day cycle...I guess this is just one of those....so ya...definitely getting my groove on and feeling MUCH better about timing this month. Not sure that means we necessarily caught a good egg or the other bazillion factors that can get in the way....at least the timing was right this month! hahahaha..

And awesome timing with a strong O seemed to be the magic behind the method :)
 
Congrats Chulie :happydance:
I went camping this weekend so I haven't been around , Should ovulate today pain is barely noticeable this cycle I am so happy :thumbup: Going back camping again this week so won't be back until next sunday :thumbup:
