October 2017 testers - Having an Oktoberfest - 9 BFPs and counting

[TTC74]

I kind of have a deal going with my husband where I run all purchases by him before I click buy - not for approval but just so we can chat about it since I've been on a bit of a spending spree lately. I ran a purchase by him today that included a bunch of my favorite cheapie tests and he said I should place the order without hesitating! Of course, that's probably to keep me from ordering FRERs. What he doesn't know is that I have 11 of them under my cabinet! What he doesn't know doesn't hurt him.

I think that is an excellent idea. Especially since we've just agreed to do the same. I spend less if I run it by him first. I told him to not let me go to the store anymore either lol because I'll go in for one thing and end up spending $60 on things we "need". Since we started doing that, we've started having some semblance of savings lol

We've got a trip planned to Disney in a few weeks. So, we can use all the savings we can get!

We are heading to Disneyworld in a few weeks also!!

Surely not the week of 11/12?

Congrats to the new bfps and good luck to everyone just entering the tww!

I am 9dpo and have been SICK the whole time with some demented head cold. I took a test this morning (oops) and thought I saw something in the time frame and then it had a massive indent when it dried so who knows. 9dpo really is too early for anything reliable to show up anyway. Will continue to test. Temp is still good, but could start plummeting as early as tomorrow. I have also had very soft cramps for 2 days (which usually happens from about 8 dpo)... otherwise.... nothing. My boobs aren't even sore.

Welcome Mikallauren!

Sorry about AF Boog

And i got a solid face last night.... either it's just a leftover LH surge or im just about to O. It's hard to tell coz i didn't test the previous day. With DS i got a solid face 2 nights before a temp drop or O. We shall see tomorrow's temp. I even took a pic of the digi's stick for comparison to my previous opks. This means


Previous OPKs taken morning (left) and evening (night)

Last night's test:

Today's temp made it almost the same as my previous chart. Really need to have just in case i haven't O'ed yet.

Congrats Mrs. and Boog and anyone else I missed! This thread moves fast.

I also put my legs in the air, for a half hour. I have to look at my ultrasound. The dr didn't tell me anything besides "everything looks normal".

9dpo here. Symptom spotting myself insane. Fertility specialist appointment is next month, so if this isn't my month, there is hope.

Woot woot! Yay! Get it done!

AFM I just started having O cramping today so bring on the baby dust! DH and I have been at it for the last three days so tonight and tomorrow we'll get a couple more in lol!

 

[Bloblo]

Bfn today, but no sign of the witch yet (due today). Might just be that vitex is increasing my lp. My cm is super stretchy though, dunno what to think about it. I think my body is just being a bitch

 

[mdscpa]

Sorry for the bfn bloblo.... Might still be early. Looking at your chart you could have o'ed a day later after your +opk. As long as the witch is not showing it's ugly face you still have a chance.

Gonna do our in 3-4 more days just in case, will be less depending on my temp tomorrow or the next. CM though became watery now, still clear like ewcm but only stretchable of up to .5".

 

[Alligator]

We are maybe O buddies mdscpa! I got a positive OPK this AM. I suspect O tomorrow or Friday. Last cycle I got a positive CD13 and O'd CD15. Today is CD13 for me, so it could follow the same pattern. Last cycle my positive on 13 wasn't until the evening though, and I had a positive with FMU today (I tested the morning of CD13 last cycle and it was close but not quite there). So I might be 12 or so hours ahead and maybe ovulate earlier? Tough to say! Have some watery CM today again, and we BD this AM. Will continue tomorrow-Friday/Saturday just in case.

 

[SS_Momma_of_2]

Still no BFP... CD 38. Witch still hasn't made an attempt either.
So confused!!

 

[Tove]

Alligator, FX for ovulation soon. Hope this is your cycle! Timing sounds great!

Ss momma, do you temp or use OPKs? I mean, are you sure about your ovulation date? Maybe you ovulated late?

 

[Dill]

Another BFN for me this morning. AF is due Friday, but my chart is looking like it may happen tomorrow. I suspect that I'm genuinely out this month. I won't be too upset if it comes a little early -- that makes me 1 day closer to my next cycle so we can try again!

 

[Cppeace]

Sorry to hear that Dill. Maybe it will still surprise you.

AFM. Got cross hairs this morn and as I ovulated a day early I will start testing on the 25th instead of the 26th as put earlier. You can adjust or leave it. Either is fine for me.

I got some odd slimy, not stretchy enough to be ew but slick and slimy, yesterday. Don't recall that ever happening that soon after ovulation before. Sign of conception perhaps? It definitely means there was a brief estrogen surge. I usually get straigh creamy until just before AF.

Anywho about 7 days till I start testing.

Nice to have some O buddies. I'm guessing you will on CD15...You are well covered if you go with the BD plan. FX for you hun.

Still no BFP... CD 38. Witch still hasn't made an attempt either.
So confused!!

I agree with Tove. Maybe you O'ed late and your will show very soon.... I understand how hard it is to be in the TWW for so long. I'm looking at my FF mobile app and it says 17 days late no bfp... but at least i know i didn't ovulate last cycle and just waiting or have already ovulated this time. Why can't we be pregnant when we wanted to?

 

[Alligator]

My fingers crossed for you as well, md! I'm thinking 15 too based off last cycle but I am a bit ahead so tomorrow is also possible. But, prepared for Friday if it follows like last cycle!

Thanks Tove! x

It's been a while since I've posted here...

I'm in the TWW and on about 6 DPO. We've been trying to #2 for 15 months now. We conceived my daughter in two months so we're feeling pretty discouraged. Doctor says nothing is wrong...we're just not getting pregnant.

We've been doing preseed for about 6 months, I take raspberry leaf supplements, I just started fertility yoga, and my husband has been taking Maca Root for about 2.5 months. Not sure if any of it will help at all. For a while I took an herbal fertility supplement and it made my cycle shorter. Usually they are 30-32 days and on the supplement it became 27-28 days and I ovulated sooner, too. I stopped taking it because I became discouraged. I'm probably stupid for stopping it, but I feel like if the doctor says we're okay then maybe I don't need too much help. I know...stupid.

Anyways...anxiously awaiting testing time. My period is due on the 26th so I'll just wait for it to come. I used to test days before, but now I feel like it just wastes tests. Especially since it's become a pattern that I pee on an expensive test, wipe, and see blood. *sigh*

Baby dust to all you lovely ladies!
