AFM... another squinter on my page from this morning. Not getting excited, as I think I'm starting to convince myself something is wrong with the tests or if it is actually hCG it's not rising fast enough to get excited about. And the waiting continues...

 

[MamaPeaches]

Hi ladies. I tested yesterday at 11 dpo don't think I see anything (attached picture). Decided I'm not gonna test again until the weekend. My temps are still high so I'm holding onto hope! Never know for sure until your late or the witch shows. The waiting drives me crazy, so I'm trying to stay distracted. I hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[ProfWife]

11dpo is still early. If you didn't implant until 9dpo, you likely wouldn't see it show up until almost 5 days later from the information I've seen. The HCG needs to build up in your system.

AFM, I took out two less than reliable temps from June (one I woke up late and adjusted it, the other we were traveling and I didn't sleep well/had been tossing and turning awake for likely over 45 minutes when I took it + sunburned). As soon as I took that second temp out, it popped my O-date back to the CD13. I'm more convinced that it was CD14.

Either way, I'm waiting until the beginning of next week to test. I should be 12dpo on Monday. Planning on testing Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I should have a clear yes or no by then if I O-ed on CD13. If it was CD16, I'll should still be able to tell something by the Friday test.

Going by the RE's office to drop off my script for my repeat HSG today. Hubs has his SA repeat next week. We'll know a lot by then. If both tests come back good or improved, we can continue with timed intercourse until the year mark with support of clomid. If I come back with a blocked tube but he's improved, we'll look at ultrasound monitoring with clomid. If his numbers haven't improved, whether my tubes are blocked or not, we may be looking at IUI after October. I may opt to wait until January so that I'll be done with marching band season.

Praying we just get pregnant. It would be a LOT easier!

 

[ClandestineTX]

@Prowife: at least you have a plan. I also hope you just get pregnant and don't need any of the other stuff, but at least if it doesn't work out the good old fashion way, you have a plan and a doctor who's supporting you - that counts, too!

Morning ladies!

KatyW: My husband actually went back to school for his masters in social work and made a career change after 10 years in marketing to high school counseling. He's absolutely loved every minute and I get to live vicariously through his summers off!

Sending good thoughts to everyone still playing the waiting game. I myself opted to test this morning at 8 dpo because I'm crazy and have too many internet cheapies to burn apparently. I also had acupuncture this morning and all of the points she hit were going crazy today for the first time so I'm hoping the increased blood flow is a good sign. Otherwise temp is high, feeling slightly crampy/pulling in the abdomen but could well be due to the 100mg of clomid this time around. REALLY trying to manage the fine line between positive thinking and getting my hopes up!

Happy Hump Day all (especially those in mode!)

 

[ProfWife]

@Clandestine - As long as I talk directly to my doctor, I'm fine. Her staff is HORRIBLE for communications and messages. I love HER though.

 

[Ruskiegirl]

Tested this morning at 8 dpo and have a shadow on my test but it looks pink like it could be the start for me I use the green handled with black writing IC's I have never had so much as an evap on them so hopefully this is real. If I get another line tomorrow I will bust out the frer

 

[MamaPeaches]

Fx for you Ruskiegirl! Hope you get a good BFP on the frer!

 

[Ruskiegirl]

[ClandestineTX]

@Ruskiegirl: FX for you, ma'am! I see a little something on that last one... looks kind of like mine... hopefully yours gets dark quickly so you don't have to worry about whether or not there's really something there!

 

[gabbygabz]

Ruskiegirl I see something on that last one too! Fingers crossed. Was just thinking this morning that I would kill for even a shadow of a line on one of those ICs! Sending you happy darker line thoughts!

 

[omgbaby]

Well. Temp went up a little. I've noticed it'll go down 2 days then back up on the third day.

We had training for work today & at one point we were standing up & I had so much pressure/pulling I almost had to sit down. Then about an hour later I had pinching on right side that lasted about 5 mins. Fx

 

[mommyxofxone]

Shoot...I think I am out. After bd with hubby...spotting . Now I'm just waiting for af to come...on to next month!

AF is finally gone, time to start waiting to O. I hope it will be sometime next week. One nice thing about these short lp cycles is a light, short, painless af. I could really get use to it. I really haven't the slightest clue what this cycle is going to look like though. I have some vitex in my amazon shopping chart, still debating if I should get it. I would really just like my body to figure it out, but I'm starting to get impatient. I'm thinking I should just go ahead and order, then if this cycle still stays all wonky I can start it when af shows up.

you are so lucky you know when you O!!! and i always have heavy and painful af!!! what's vitex? not familiar with it. and i hate waiting. always waiting.

What @mommyxofxone said about being more fertile in the fall made me remember something I read the other day. I read about how men produce better sperm at certain times of the year. I didn't keep that link, but I searched and found another that you can look at.

you know i get the serious ewcm and then i get the bit of blood in it too- which is supposed to be a super good sign for fertility. which is the month i conceived my first. and i haven't even had any ewcm this month.

Well, ladies, my bbt thermometer arrived!! I'm going to start temping properly tomorrow morning but I don't know how successful I'll be this cycle with my niece coming to stay for a week (starting tomorrow) so there will be some bed-juggling while she's here... I started for good old ff the other day with a regular thermometer but I'm excited to start with a proper bbt one. Of course, this cycle is a trial run since dh isn't here... but I'm sure it will take me a few cycles to get the hang of it anyway.

Looking forward to hearing about the next round of testing from all of you!!

congrats on your new therm!!!! it's amazing the difference

FF changed my o date when I added in today's temp...by 3 days. We went from excellent timing to mediocre. Sometimes I hate that program!

i hate when it changes it. terrible. so sorry.

AFM- i've had cramping the last three days, was also kind of cold yesterday evening. strange as my husband was so hot. my daughter was sweating. and i wanted a coat.

temp jumped again this am, but slept horribly. And then i did the ferning scope like every morning and thought i saw something starting- but then i did it again and saw nothing. :/ i don't know.

Temps going down before ovulation (at least in my case) have always been a good sign!
