Mid-August Testers

[CHDickey]

According to my LH strips and CM, I might actually pop an egg this cycle, whee. No positive OPK yet, but the color was dark enough this AM. On the evening test, I expect to see the same color test line.

And then.... likely nothing, lol. But it's fun sometimes to get one's hopes up!

How's it going? Did you get a darker color or temp rise?

 

[CHDickey]

Well, had a huge rise this morning went from 97.73 to 98.17!! This would make me 2 dpo!! So fingers crossed. MrsBea- went ahead and took your advice with the ol' dh. Thanks again for looking at my chart!

So, this whole symptom spotting thing, am I the only one? I am hoping this month won't be like last since I am starting to go back to school and work! It will keep my mind off things!! I did wake up with a outrageous headache in the middle of the night though?!

 

[Jazavac]

Yup, both! The chart is in my signature.

The cycle looks exactly the same as last month, at least so far. I'm satisfied with it, but we'll see what happens next. I assume it will mark CD13 as ovulation day and I will again feel like it should have been CD14.

 

[Jazavac]

Has everyone or anything actually confirmed O and now in the 2 week wait period? Dust to all!

So the answer to your question, it might be me, but I will give it a day or two to make sure it happened right here.

Well I def did not OV on Sunday like I had thought. Today's temp was the exact same as yesterday. So I pulled out an OPK to see what is going on with my body - and got a positive this AM so that means I should OV today!! A few days later than expected but oh well!! Hopefully we will catch that eggy. Been BDing just in case!!

Still plan to test on 8/14. If I do OV today then I will still be 12 dpo. Should be good enough for sure.

Hooray on the temp raise CH!!

Well, that means we are in the same boat fingers crossed that our temps stay high and keep rising!

Thanks Snowflake! Tell your hubby to hang in there! I am hoping one of us will be blessed with a little one! My chart has me testing the 13th. We will see!

 

[Jazavac]

I'm fairly sure mine will stay up and keep rising... for a while. And then we'll see.

Good luck to all of us!

Hey everyone! Im on cd14 and got a positive opk this morning. We are supposed to be ntnp.....but my baby obsession has already turned into ttc and its our first month lol. But im 33 and its my first so im really feeling the pressure. We bd tonite, and hope to tomorrow as well...I wish we had last night but we had a big picnic and were just too beat. AF is due on the 11th, im going to try to wait until 13 to test, id rather be late and not waste money and be disappointed with bfn....then again I seem to have zero willpower with any of this baby stuff so we will see if I make it that far lol. Good luck to everyone and baby dust to all!!

Hey Kaleido,
I know how you feel, I'm 32 and TTC #1, its our 3rd cycle but second with charting and temping so I'm really hoping this time around! Feeling the baby fever bad as well! Wondering about the CD ever night or every other night as well? I guess there is no magic formula

GL to all you ladies and feel free to check out my chart and tell me what you think! Hoping we have good timing this week and I can be sure I o'd...then try and be patient not to test early!

 

[MrsBea23]

Morning Ladies,

How are we all this morning?

CH - your wedding photo is lovely definitely worth the effort of making it your avatar.

Lisette & Kaleido - I know exactly what you mean I am 33 (34 in December) and TTC my 1st as well and I really feel the pressure sigh.

 

[MrsBea23]

lisette - forgot to say I had a look at your chart and it looks like you O'd yesterday if your temp is still high tomorrow then it is definite. Hope you have been bd'ing lots.

Fx'd for you this month hun.

Morning MrsBea23

I am feeling particularly impatient this morning!!! Im meant to be testing on the 10th as that's when AF is due, but it still seems so far away!!! If I make it through the weekend without poas I think it will be good going!

 

[MrsBea23]

Morning Bex,

Will you be one day late on the 10th? If so then yes I have to admit if it was me I doubt I would get past Sunday lol.

Would you be gutted if you got a BFN or would you just tell yourself it is too early? I don't mind getting BFN's (your not out until the witch arrives) so I am pretty bad at POAS lol.

 

[Srbjbex]

I think my AF is due on the 10th, although im still getting used to my cycles (last 2 cycles have been 35 days whereas was always 27/28 before that!)

I would like to think that i could handle a BFN if it is pre AF... but in the past I have been pretty rubbish! Wiedly if I amke it through the weekend, I think I will be k to wait till Tuesday as will be busy with work, its the weekend when i have plenty of time to think about it when it will be difficult!

When are you testing? (im too lazy to look back!)

 

[MrsBea23]

Hmmm weekends are hard I wake up and while I am lying there because I didn’t have to jump straight up for work my mind has an argument with itself with one side going just test and the other side going why waste it lol. Usually I am weak and test he he just with the Sainbury's cheapies though I don't use the digitals until I am late. If I really don’t want to though I book myself in for an early class at the gym and then I have to jump out of bed straight away.

I am due AF on the 12th so will be testing on the 13th which I would of had to anyway because I have a night out with friends that night and I need to know if I can drink or not.

 

[Srbjbex]

Hehe! I have a packet of Sainburys cheapies and a packet of Morrisons cheapies at home waiting to be used (they must have just fallen in the trolley last week)!! By not having any of the expensive branded ones, i am convincing myself that there is no point even testing now because they aren't sensistive enough to show anything anyway.....at least that's my logic.

Like you I'll buy an expensive one to confirm if I get BFP!

I hope so much that it's good news for us!!!!

 

[CHDickey]

Good morning ladies!

MrsBea thanks for the compliment. I really do appreciate it!

I am glad to see I am not the only antsy one. Last cycle I bought several dollar store cheapies, I have told myself I am going to hold off this time.

I am officially 3 dpo according to FF, so nothing out of the ordinary here just a long waiting game! This part is the pits, but oh well.

A girl I work with leaked out yesterday that she was trying this month too! It was funny because I just smiled and nodded. Don't want anyone at work to know. Friends and family are aware it's going to be sooner than later, but still want to keep it a secret as long as possible. I've always imagined surprising people!

What about y'all, are you keeping it a secret or do your friends and loved ones know?

 

[Jazavac]

My work people don't really know. Well, a few have some ideas, but overall I don't care much. Got a really secure job with insanely good health insurance and that's pretty much the only reason I am holding onto it right now. Once I'm done using the insurance for all these things, I will likely be gone.

My chart looks really good so far and I expect to see the red lines tomorrow, labeling August 1st as big O. If the temp keeps rising, I'll probably get more hopeful than I was last month. I don't know when I will test, though. Last cycle, I was trying to avoid doing it, but then my deal fell through. Got a closet full of Wondfos, so I didn't feel like I was wasting any money or anything. I even tested after this last AF because of some weird spotting. AF is due on the 15th, according to FF. We'll see.

As far as baby stuff goes, I'm turning 34 this October and, considering my AMH levels, I have like no time left to get something going.

That's awesome you have such a great job and your chart looks great! Good luck to you!

Hey girlies. Def OV'd yesterday. Hooray!! Had my temp raise this AM. Made hubby come home from work a bit early so we could get our BD in before I had to leave at 6.

Feel good about it this month.

P.S. I am 31 yrs old TTC #1. Happy to see some 30+'s in here!!
