October Testers Everywhere

[abennion]

I got my temp rise today! Just hoping it'll sustain itself over the next couple of days. Looks like we may still be in the running for this month!

abennion That's a gorgeous temp rise! Major chart envy lol and quite a lot of BD-ing! Bravo! haha FX for you this month!

I doubt FF will give me crosshairs, my temps don't look that promising.

 

[abennion]

We were quite determined this month haha. After 5 months of trying with no success you tend to get a bit...desperate... for a BFP. My charts make it super easy to see trends, and I'm very grateful for that! I was worried I wasn't going to O this month because usually I O on CD16-17, but I'll take what I can get! Hopefully my LP will stay around 12 this cycle.

wow abennion so much BDing!! that's dedication!! I was losing my mind over 6 days in a row one month....

Boston - my temps never look great either. it drives me nuts. I wish I was one of the gals with a beautiful chart! I'm a slow riser and even then I never get super high. I wished I had charted the month I got pregnant to compare it to. I wonder if it would have looked any different or if this is just my style..

Dealing with all my early pregnancy/probably af getting ready to show up symptoms I'm on the verge of craziness and this is only my second cycle trying! Kudos to all of you who have been at it month after month. Maybe I'm feeling a little emotional today.. Yet ANOTHER symptom that could go either way! I told my close friend today I am so glad the internet wasn't as prevalent as it is now when I was pregnant with my daughters (back in the stone age.. Pre smartphone).. Its like a blackhole.. Hours of time have been lost due to Google. I must put down the smart phone and slowly step away! I know I'm not out for the month but just in case how do you cope with all the temping and charting and checking statistics month after month?!

 

[abennion]

I read somewhere that if you BD on a more regular basis your chances of getting pregnant are actually higher than if you just BD in your fertile window. We just may have taken it to the extreme a tad. I'm hoping this is our month. I dont know if we can keep up with the strict BD schedule if it isnt...

Jalilma- I guess the way I handle it is I don't test until I'm late, and just look at trends for charting rather than one individual data point. I like to think of it as more of a scatterplot than a line chart, because you can't really notice abnormalities until you have a couple months worth of data to work off of. Just hang in there, you'll get the hang of it!

 

[abennion]

Crosshairs! Woohoo! Test date has been set for October 25th! I may try a day or two before if I really can't help it. Currently 3DPO

 

[abennion]

Jalilma your chart looks amazing! Possibly triphasic? When are you testing?

Thank you... It's nice to hear that boost of confidence as I sit here dealing with these af type cramping on and off all day (hoping it's implantation). I'm tempted to test Sunday or Monday... But I'll probably just wait to see if af shows her ugly face... Bfn's depress me, even though the boyfriend swears he pulled out the big guns this month. Hahaha

 

[abennion]

Have you tested today Jalilma? Just from your chart it looks like its going to be a big giant BFP!

Ugh... Against my better judgement I tested with a dollar store test and got a BFN! saddens me hope af hurrys up so I don't have to sit here and wonder if it was a false negative... One of these days I will learn my lesson!

 

[abennion]

It might just be too early for the test. Your temps don't look like they're ready to drop! I would try testing again in a couple of days FX!

 

[jalilma]

Maybe I'll be one of those people who don't get a bfp until later in the game.

 

[abennion]

It will happen Most BFPs done happen until 13.5DPO according to FF.

 

[jalilma]

That at least gives me a bit of hope... If this cycle ends with af... I am NOT testing early next cycle... Too much drama and anxiety and I have enough of that raising 3 adolescent daughters.

 

[nnaime]

Just got af ladies. Turns out I Od on day thirteen. I can see that in my chart now. Good luck to you all!

 

[abennion]

I'm sorry nnaime! Hopefully you'll get your BFP next month!

 

[abennion]

So temp jumped back up today... I'm hoping it continues to trend like that. Testing tomorrow! If that comes back BFN then I'll wait until Sunday to test (when AF is due). Jalilma, how are you doing?

 

[jalilma]

2 faint yet noticeable in person POSITIVES this am! Hoping they are darker tomorrow and af stays away! so weird that it went from starK white negative to a visible (although light) positive...

Fingers crossed for a bfp for you
