November Testers

[MKaykes]

I think I finally O'd! + opk CD 17, then -opk CD 18, CD 19 i think a + again...finally had a small rise in temp this morning CD 21. Hope it stays up! Looks like this will be a longer than normal cycle for me, so I'll be expecting AF more like Nov 9, so gives me another week of waiting to test!

Yay! Fingers crossed you caught it!!

AFM, I'm 5dpo-ish (don't temp so don't know for sure). Had a little bit of light cramping last night, which I haven't noticed before during my cycle. I usually only cramp right before AF. This felt similar, but not nearly as intense. Completely possible (and maybe even likely) that I always have it and have just never noticed it before.

We have not shared with family or friends that we are TTC, mostly because it adds a lot of pressure. All of my best girl friends have told me when they started trying, but DH and I decided to keep it to ourselves. Today, my two best friends asked if we were TTC and not telling anyone! One said it was because I didn't drink wine at dinner the other night (I'm a 'sober til it's over' kind of girl). The other didn't give me a reason, but her husband was at our house the other day, and when he used the bathroom I heard a noise like something fell. We have baskets under our sink where I keep my opks and hpts, so wondering if we pulled out the basket (maybe looking for tp?) and saw my stash? Either way I had to lie through my teeth to both of them. It's a lot of work trying to keep this secret from people who know you as well as you know yourself!!

Don't you love how everything seems to be a possible symptom during the TWW??

Good for you for being able to keep it hush hush! We have not been that good at that. I knew I would tell my mom and sister and a couple good friends, over time though more and more people know. DH is an open book, so he lets it out pretty much to anyone and everyone (like even to complete strangers when we bought our house). It seems a little weird as basically when you tell people you are TTC you are telling them quite a bit about your sex life! "oh, yeah, we are DTD ALL the time now..."

AFM - even more of a temp rise today! Makes me a feel a bit better to see that, due to the unusual cycle I'm not feeling hopeful that this month will be it, but hoping things will stay on track. I have an annual visit with the doc end of this week, so I'll see what they think about things - I think I'll wait until we are a full 12 months in to get testing done, based on OPKs and temps, I have no reason to believe I have any hormonal issues, we'll just hope we just haven't gotten lucky to catch the egg yet.

[Tink80]

We are TTC #2 also. I should ovulate in the next couple of days, so we are pretty close. This is my first cycle of TTC again :S baby dust to you!

 

[Smille24]

Welcome Tink! We have been ttc #2 for over a year (2 if you count ntnp). I'm praying that I O this week, but my opks are all over the place. I feel an overwhelming amount of pressure for a bfp this cycle. I have an RE appt in 2.5 weeks.

 

[maybe_baby_]

Count me in! I am 7 DPO and I plan to start testing on 10 DPO! FX!

I'm 6dpo.. seems like there are a few of us that will be testing together! I, of course, already started testing. Not because I expected to see anything, but because I just really enjoy peeing on things and I'm horrible at waiting. The TWW is a nightmare for a control freak/planner like me!!! Fx we get BFPs together!!

Thanks, baby dust to you as well!

It's so hard, isn't it? There's been two times I've been sure I was pregnant but no go. I'm almost scared to get my hopes up but it's so depressing not to hope. I would feel pressured too if I had that appt. coming up I'm still breastfeeding my 2yo so my OBGYN said to try for another 6 months and she'll refer me to an infertility specialist if we're still not pregnant.

I've been having twinges on both sides but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I usually get a positive opk around cd 14 or 15 but this month it wasn't until day 19.

Since ttc my cycles get longer and longer...it sucks. I hope the twinges are a good sign. Fxd for you.

 

[MKaykes]

How is everyone doing? Any symptoms yet?

I'm 6 DPO, so nothing to note Herr, but time to start symptom spotting!

FX for many BFPs!

 

[Aayla]

No af at all, had to take provera. Coming into day 5 off of it and still no af. FF gave me dotted cross hairs again. I think it's confused. But I tested last week and this week (4 days ago). BFN. Thought I saw a shadow last week but it didn't seem to go anywhere 7 days later. Testing again when I wake up. Another website has me at 9 dpo. So I will see what today's test holds. If BFN then I will wait (hopefully) until Nov 7. This is the end of the 14 day max that it can take for af to come after provera. If still bfn I have to restart the provera and take it for longer and a slightly higher dose.

 

[Holliems]

Well, I thought I was 6 DPO today but once I put my temp into FF it changed it. Im 4 DPO :/

 

[maybe_baby_]

I'm 9 dpo-ish (I don't temp, just go by opks and cm). Nothing to report though. Of course I'm wondering if every little symptom means something (today I have a really upset stomach and I'm really not hungry), but the hpts are not on my side so far! I'm hoping I didn't get a bfp yet so that I can get it over the weekend when DH and I are both home. Wishful thinking probably, but have to stay positive!! (no pun intended...)

 

[jadza]

Been using OPK's all week.. nothing.. all negative. I'm supposed to be ovulating this week. So frustrated, and feeling shitting that I cant ovulate on my own again The second line wasn't there at all for the first 2 then the third one was faint then the next one was darker on the 4th day then the 5th day no line again. What does that mean? Anything?

I wish I had an answer. Mine have been almost positive for 3 days and fade in the evening. Opks are frustrating but are a great indicator that O will happen.

 

[Aayla]

Unfortunately with opk's they can be all over the place. We have LH in our system at all times and it can fluctuate throughout the day. There usually is no faint positive. Unless it is noticeably as dark or darker than the control line consider it negative but BD just in case.

As for dpo changing I think that FF isn't as good as it it is made out to be. It changes so often. I really like countdown to pregnancy site. Unfortunately it isn't an app but it doesn't seems to change the dates around.

 

[Smille24]

I got a positive opk. I should O tomorrow but still testing the 11th I'll be 9dpo. I know it's early testing but I'm really hoping to see a bfp.
