thank you all for the advice and encouragement! it's so nice to have a place to come and vent and have such a supportive group!
Tested on my last OPK (hopefully the mail comes soon with my next package!) and in a turn of events, it went from negative this morning to almost positive! Always the chance it will back off but considering my other symptoms (fuller boobs, bloated, hormonal etc) I think I'm getting ready to ovulate. Told my DH so he's going to come home tonight and tomorrow so we can sneak in a few more tries. So thankful for him- he's in the middle of a massive work thing and needs to work late tonight but was so sweet this morning asking how things were and that he can come home and just work in our home office so we can have time together....very thankful to have such a supportive partner!
Assuming I actually ovulate, I think I'll call my doctor and let them know. I'm hoping they would put me on progesterone supplements so that my period would hold off. Both of my boys were late implanters....my oldest I didn't have a positive until 13 dpo and my youngest was 12... I don't want my chance to be out the window this month over something that I could help prevent (short LP).

@tdog....hey there!! come on in and yuck it up with us. You know its going to get crazy when we start peeing on sticks. I myself hope to see lots of stick pics. Its like tag team. You sit it out because you started testing at 3dpo and at 7 dpo you are down to only 10 sticks which will fall fast so you need to see other people's sticks to get that fix. And oh, it only gets worse for me if I see others getting bfps I wee on sticks at a faster rate....I have to put in a fresh order for more .....
Thank you to all the expecting posters for sticking around.
I use FF (bbt, cm) and opks. And if the first one doesn't work I go by my harsh ovulation pain followed up with progesterone sticks to see if I had a good ovulation.
I'm going to hop on the September train if no one minds. Plan to test on September 12, but I may sneak an early one... Hoping for out third child. I've been trying to convince the OH to try for another one for 3 years! This is the first month with no BC, so fingers crossed it catches before he changes his mind. Good luck and baby dust ladies!
Can I join? I was going to have a break for a few months but realised that's pointless so here I am. CD 1 so will be testing next week just kidding haha will be towards the end of sept lol
ugh!! SO frustrated. CD16- no signs of ovulating. I've had a "high" on my CB monitor for the last 5 days. Cheapies looked like they were gearing up on Saturday...then backed off. Then looked like it was gearing up yesterday...and backed off. I only have 1 left (more coming sometime today) so I won't use it until this afternoon. But I have a 26 day cycle so I feel like if I don't surge and ovulate today then I'm probably already out. If I do ovulate today or tomorrow I'll call my doctor and see if there is anything they can give (progesterone maybe?) to help AF hold off in case we do catch. But my temps are mostly flat so I think it points more to an anovulatory cycle than anything. If/when AF starts, I'm going to call and ask my doctor to get some blood work done. I know we are only on our third cycle but my cycles have changed so much in the last year that I would rather know now if something is going on than waiting. If we hit 6 months I think that I'll ask for more extensive testing. We've never had an issue getting pregnant before but this is the first time we've been trying in our 30s and who knows. I'll let you know if I need to move my test date at all once I know more.
Hi y’all,
TTC # 4. My oldest is almost 14 and my youngest just turned 6 so it’s crazy to think I’ll be starting all over again! But here I am
This is my first cycle trying and I only BD’d twice and I’m not sure the timing was even right but I’m hopeful! I’ve gotten apps and will use them more if this first cycle is a bust. I’m not in my 20s anymore and expect it’ll take longer this go around. My period is due 9/12 so we shall see!
Good luck to everyone!!

WELCOME Bdid!!!
Happy to have you join us!! Its never too late to try. I had my only child at about 32 and it happened right away with donor sperm. So you are not out by any chance. What test day would you like me to put you on or will you just wait till AF is late?? HUGS And praying one of those bd moments caught that eggy!! FX!!!
Hi ladies! I’m Going to have to catch up! But I’m coming over from August. I am 18dpo bfn and no AF.. so I’m thinking I didn’t actually ovulate.. but my temps are still post O temps so I have no idea what’s going on. Kind of frustrating so idk if I will truly be joining you or just rooting you on from the sidelines!
