Wooohooo gotta love the crosshairs.
I don't like the dotted ones though lol so I went back and marked some dry cm days as watery. I have a truly dry day post O that wasn't like the ones pre-O. So I don't know if those were truly watery days, but they weren't dry.
I'm not completely convinced I O'd on Monday either. Could have been Tuesday. Monday is better based on when we BD'd this cycle though. We were pretty off with our timing but stranger things have happened I guess.
My niece slept over last night and DH is so good with her. He always is but I was looking at it through a different lens last night and he's going to make such a good dad. Completely melted my heart.
I'm super emotional (its not a symptom, just by nature lol) and I teared up when I dropped her off at school this morning. haha. She's 4 years old. Hardly a baby but these things pull on my heart. I told my sister and she just laughed at me I'm always crying. When it's my own I'm going to completely lose it!
CT - have you quit temping? Not that you need to. Just curious.
TB - any sigh of a positive OPK?
Don't leave me lonely in the TWW guys! Anyways, have an awesome weekend ladies.

That just gives you an extra day to test lol
My tests have been darker but not positive yet. While I don't have EWCM (I think Clomid steals that from me) its felt more watery and cervix is def open. I also just picked up some of the Chinese herbs from my acupuncturist that I was taking last cycle when I didn't O by CD 14. Can't say they helped but since I had a BFP last cycle, can't say they hurt either! So I am just playing the waiting game. trying to hold my pee for a few hours and maybe try to test again this evening. Last cycle was my first clomid cycle and I got a positive the evening of CD 19.. thats two days from now so hopefully if nothing else, I will O about the same.

Ladies my temps were late (due to weekend) and my OPKS were just barely not positive.. like you have to look at them very carefully to determine they aren't. But today's temp went much higher and opk is negative. I will see what tomorrow's temp brings but we are trying to BD anyway!
Hi ladies!
Amber, how are you doing?
TB, so do you think you O'd the other day? I see your temp is down again though. Perhaps you were sleeping with your mouth open? Unless you're about to O – I know you said the OPKs were getting lighter but that's what happened to me too. And then suddenly it was a blazing positive. FXed!
Sunny, how did it go on Friday? How is DH feeling? When do you get the results?
Dream, it's so lovely to see hubby with other kids. It gives such a warm, fuzzy feeling. So divine that you get to see him around other kids.
Steph, how are you? Any news?
Toadly, how are things your side?
AFM, I'm not temping any more (think you asked, Dream). They went up and down and each time it went down I freaked out a bit so I thought it better for me to just stop. I had such terrible cramps today and was terrified but they've stopped now. I know there's nothing I can do but how do you stop worrying? It's impossible!

Hi girls!
That's confusing Tb! I hope you either get a good looking temp spike or a blazing + OPK soon!!
Ct, I can only imagine the worrying! It never stops right? Doesn't matter if you're TTC, pregnant, or a mom. Has the spotting stopped? It won't be long now until your scan, hopefully that'll put your mind at ease a bit
Dream, how's your TWW?
We're waiting on DH's results. They said they would fax the results to my OBGYN the same day but my doctor never received anything. Called again today and they said they'd fax it again so I'm just waiting for a call back from my Dr. with the results. Waiting SUCKS!!

Oh no Sunny let's hope they actually fax it over this time! It amazes me how people who test for fertility issues (well, test for anything really) as a living don't seem to get how worrying/frustrating it is waiting for results. I mean surely they know its all you can think about? I guess to them its just a job but still! FX for you Sunny!
Spotting has stopped (about Tuesday or Wednesday last week). You're right, we will always worry about something. My mom says she still worries about us even though we are all grown up.

Well, I always sleep with my mouth open lol so all my temps are based that way (I really should temp vaginally.. I just haven't!) I also always temp twice because of it. I guess I am still waiting on O... last cycle I O'd on CD 20 and that is today.. so much for Oing earlier! UGH I guess I could have delayed it with stress from starting the new school year and of course packing up my house to move! We move this Thursday! So Exciting.
Sunny that is so frustrating. I hope they do it quickly and you get your results soon!
CT- When is that scan?
Dream- Uneventful is good lol. You don't want to over analyze anything and relaxing is the best thing.

Morning girls!
Been a bit MIA as we had a Bank Holiday weekend and the weather was BEAUTIFUL! Hottest August Bank Holiday on record
Should get my results today, I'll phone them in a couple of hours I think. I really hope they are ready today. Feel a bit sick!
Hope you get your results too Sunny, that kind of wait is horrible when you have been told you would get them at a certain time.

It's not looking good 
Low count, low morphology and low motility. Waiting to get the exact numbers later today.
I know it's only a snapshot and it fluctuates a lot, but still. DH doesn't smoke/drink, has a healthy body weight, eats healthy and has been on fertility supplements for >3 months. There isn't much else to do unfortunately.

Oh no Sunny, I'm sorry to hear that. Is your doc going to discuss options with you?
I know I'm still a newbie when it comes to these things, but seeing as every little bit helps, have you tried Preseed? Just helps to keep the little guys in the right area for when you O. Might just assist in the low motility area.

So sorry to hear that Sunny, I know that must have been such a blow for you both.
I am sure right now it feels completely crap, but when you feel ready to think ahead, at least you now know what has been stopping you conceiving, and your next steps can truly be aimed at optimising your chances (IUI, IVF etc. etc.).
Your hubby is doing everything he can, and I have read many posts where husbands have seen an increase from previously low numbers, just through sticking at a good diet and continuing to take supplements.
There will be options for you Sunny

Sunny - Sorry to hear this bad news. After you get numbers will you be able to meet with your doctor to discuss next steps and what your options are?
Happy Birthday to Me! Another year older, just a reminder that the clock is ticking.
I took this week off from work but hubby still had to go in. So i'm home alone watching netflix which I thoroughly enjoy. The only problem is I've got the flu. Started feeling it yesterday. Very annoying.

Sunny- so sorry about those results, that must be very hard to hear. Will you have another appt soon so you can discuss your options?
Dream- happy birthday! So sorry you have the flu. Can't wait to see your test in a couple days!
CT- how are you feeling?? Hope the spotting goes away for good!
Tb- hope the move goes smoothly for you this week!
Steph- hope your test results come back ok!
Afm, I finally decided to take misoprostil for my missed miscarriage as I have waited 2 weeks and nothing has happened even though my HCG level continues to drop significantly. I'll spare you all the details but I really hope it worked, and it wasn't nearly as painful as I had read about. I am taking today and tomorrow off work and just trying to rest as I was up most of the night last night. I have a follow up appt in 2 weeks to see if my HCG level has returned to 0, which I hope it will so I can avoid a d&c!

Oh sunny I am sorry to hear that news. Keep us posted on what the doc says next steps are!
Dream- are you sure it's the flu and not that cold that starts in early pregnancy?? I'm sorry you're not feeling well- happy birthday though!
Feels so weird that I won't be in this home in two more nights! No O yet. So frustrating. I hate the anticipation every single day. I had to order new OPKs! Ugh.
