[todmommy4568]

I am going to go ahead and call this positive!! Finally!!

 

[PnutProtector]

Ok. According to FF I am one day late. According to my other period tracker I'm 4 days late. I took an HPT on Wednesday and it was negative. I have a fresh box of FRER and I'm going to test in the morning. I've been nauseous, bloated, really tired, and having some, I can't call them cramps, but it's like twinges or pulling. I dunno ladies. I'm hoping it's not all in my head.

 

[todmommy4568]

Sounds miserable pnut, but hoping it is a good sign!! Can't wait to see your test in the morning!! I need me some pee stick porn!!

 

[Blackrain90]

Yay todmommy, get on it! (literally haha)

Fx'd for you pnut!! Like todmommy I need peestick porn too, so hard to hold off and I'm only 4dpo hahaha

 

[PnutProtector]

Fingers Crossed For You!!! Oh I hope it's a +!! I need some happy POAS pics!!!!

And my husband is the same way. I was talking about crosshairs, CM, temping etc when he took me back to work after lunch, and he finally says 'okay you and your blog buddies are psychos!' hahaha

I try to talk to OH about it but I can tell he has no interest. At this point it is just so much better to be on here because all you ladies are so great!

LoL! My hubby does the same thing. He's so tired of hearing about it. At this point, I think I need to just stick with you guys. And I agree, you girls are awesome.

I am going to go ahead and call this positive!! Finally!!

Todmommy - that looks really close, if not positive, to me!! Awesome sauce!




EDIT: OMG I just saw you ladies with your POAS porn comments! OMG! I am dying here!

Pnut, fingers crossed!! how exciting that there might be the first BFP in this thread

Also, you ladies are hilarious hahaha

As for me, 8 dpo now and getting reeeaally impatient! But i'm glad i had to use the bathroom after taking my temps today and was so tired i didn't even think about anything, so at least for today testing isn't an option anymore haha
As for symptoms, there's nothing new to report on really, except i'm still having quite sore breasts. I did feel kinda bloated and gassy ( ) last night and couldn't think of anything i had eaten that would explain it, but it's probably nothing haha

I want to hold out testing until at least 12/13 dpo.. i don't want to have to do all that guesswork of wether or not there is a line, but i'm starting to doubt i'll be able to hold out that long haha

Hi girls!

Arrived back in Riyadh at 2:15 am…got to sleep just before 3…woke up for work at 6. It is about 11 am now and I've got 1 double class between me and my bed .

Not thinking about much these days as my husband is leaving at 1 am for a two week trip out of the country. It can be difficult to be here alone. I'm happy at least I will have you all to chat with.

My temp went up from 36.4 to 36.7 today. FF put dotted crosshairs on my chart, but I don't think that I agree with them according to my other data. My ovagraph chart is more promising .

Sounds like a long day! And hopefully the two weeks will fly by! I think you might have o'd a day or two earlier based on FF but not sure...


So I have no idea when to expect my period this month. Out of all my cycles last time we ttc and this time, only 2 weren't affected by B6 or miscarriage, and those were 27 & 28 days but only like 6 day LP. Since I ovulated CD17 do you think it's safe to assume I will probably have about a 28 day cycle? That would mean 11 day LP; I would think the early ovulation would mean a longer LP, but at the same time I don't think vitex would give me a 14 day LP right off the bat, so that's why I'm thinking 28.

Thoughts??

I just keep telling myself "one more day! wait one more day!" and I'm only at 5DPO. Saturday looks like an eternity. It'll only be 11DPO but since that is when AF is due (if I make it to an 11 day LP. They've been 8-9 before, but 11 last cycle with b6 + Vitex) I'll test that day probably. So. Far. Away.

We can do it!

I'm keeping busy today to keep my mind off things: worked out today (T25 is killer), then going to run errands, go shopping, buy some things for my classroom (maybe stop by my classroom and do a little work), and then hubby and I are planning a bike ride this afternoon. Fun times.

Typically your LP does not change much. The Vitex could lengthen it, but I don't know if it would lengthen it from 6 days to 11 that quickly. I think the longest I've seen (from what I've read other people say) an LP lengthen from just Vitex was about 3-4 days in the first couple cycles, and Vitex can take 3-6 months to fully regulate you. With all that, there's really no way to tell. But if it was myself, I'd probably guess a cycle of 25-26 days. Hoping for longer, but that's my "realistic" guess.

Since the LP doesn't typically change, but only O does, then the primary thing affecting cycle length is O. So if you O early, usually you have shorter cycles, and if you O late you have longer cycles. Then again, it's really hard to tell with everything else going on! Who really knows how the Vitex will affect it.

Sorry, I really wasn't a lot of help there. lol!

There's no way to really know but i think 28 day cycle and 11day luteal phase seems reasonable, i think i would go by that too. At least you probably should be able to get a reliable answer if you hold out testing until then (which, let's be honest, will either of us ladies wait till af is due? Doubtful haha )

Angel, seems like you've got a fun day planned i only got a little bit of housework done but it's such a hot day today and I'm really struggling with the heat today.. we've had a really hot summer and i'm just so ready for fall!

Oh yeah, i totally do the whole "come on, you can do another day!" Haha
I'm still feeling a bit gassy and bloated, breasts are still a bit swollen and sore and a couple hours ago i had a weird crampy-twinging feeling on my lower abdomen kind of on the right side. I hate the symptom spotting but of course i immeadiatel thought, maybe implantation? Haha i'm going to feel so stupid reading so much into all of those things when AF does come to visit

 

[PnutProtector]

Big Fat Negative

But still absolutely ZERO signs of AF So confused.

 

[MsRipple]

Sorry Pnut . How do you track ovulation? Is it possible you o'd late?

Sorry Pnut. It's possible you just don't have enough HGC in your bloodstream yet to register, especially if implantation was later then you won't have as much. How did you track O? and how many DPO are you?

It's so hard to say how the vitex will affect things, I think you may just have to wait and see. I've read it can sometimes take a few months for vitex to have it's full impact. I think it's also hard to say that a normal luteal phase would be for you -- 11 days? 12? etc? I don't think it would be tied at all to your prior cycle length though.

Will be 10 dpo tomorrow (or 2 if I o'd late) -- FF took away my crosshairs in "advanced mode" when I logged ewcm, but let me keep them (with o on cd12) when I put it into "research." My temps are back up today, so I guess we will just have to see. In symptom spotting news, I've been having a weird crampy feeling (not cramps, more like pressure) and started burping nonstop, but that could also just be me!

Debating if I should test tomorrow or if I am just setting myself up for disappointment.

I would push for waiting closer to 12 DPO if you can, just to not set yourself up for disappointment. An egg implants anywhere from 6-12 DPO (most commonly around 9DPO) so there's a small chance it isn't even implanted yet, or if it implanted at 9DPO then you may not have enough hormone level for a test to detect. All that said..... I know that I would have a hard time resisting the urge to test, myself.

I was tracking with temps this cycle. But FF never gave me any crosshairs. And I have no idea when I would normally O before now. It's hard for me to check CM since I can't reach my cervix ever. Or I don't trust what I get most of the time from what I can reach. This is my second cycle off IUD, first Full cycle though. It could just be that my body is still getting it's groove back.
