Ooh, its so confusing isn't it? FF says I should test on Wednesday, but I'm just impatient. It predicts AF for tomorrow, so I don't understand why it says to wait until Wednesday to test. Oh well, we'll see eh?

Hope we both get the BFPs we're after. x

 

[AngelSerenity]

Terri and Alin - fingers crossed for you both!

CD2 here for me so I'm now officially back on the TTC madness x

Good morning all...

Coy...how are you feeling? Is the room finished yet?

Ali ...I know you are getting ready to leave on your trip soon. Sorry to hear about you and your BF. Maybe you will work things out. So, has AF made her appearance? I hope not!!!

Alin and Terri...any news? FX'd for both of you!!

AFM...it has been a long weekend. It started when I heard from the organization that has been interviewing me for a job I really wanted. I didn't get it. Basically they told me I was over-qualified. The CEO was looking for someone that would make a career out of the admin role and based on my resume he didn't think that person was me. I was really disappointed. But, I hope that means that there is something else in store for me. So now I have no baby and no new job. Oh well...there is always next month...

Angel...toooo funny!!! Hahaha! The TTC Madness
...I love that!! That is exactly what it is!!

 

[TerriLou]

Angel - LOL, TTC is definitely madness!

I'm actually feeling like AF is on its way, cramping more than I have been for a few days. I had a really odd sensation earlier on, it kind of tickled, like little air bubbles inside. Bizarre, but, like I said, don't think it'll be long before the reveals her very ugly head.

Jess, really sorry about the job, I hate it when they tell you you're over qualified. I had the same thing a few years ago, they said that they thought I would be bored. Well, hey, I knew the job I was applying for, so surely I should have been the judge of that. Hopefully there will be something better just around the corner for you. A new job and a baby!

Awh!! Thanks Terri!! I needed that...

 

[alin3boys]

Jess sorry you didn't get the job, more time for baby making lol

Still no af here cd 26 today and 13 dpo (usually 24/25 day cycles and 11-12lp,still have headache,temp rise today,with med/closed/soft cervix and creamy cm,no sign of af but another neg this morning,thinking if I implanted cd 9 may be to early

 

[alicatt]

Hey Ladies!!!

Jess.. so sorry about the job, I know how much you were looking forward to it. Just remember when a door closes a window opens He was probably right though about the job, you were over qualified! Here is to hoping that something else comes along that is even better, or better yet a little :stork:

Angel.. it certainly is MADDNESS!!! Best of luck this month I hope we are doing a in 2 weeks

Terri and Alin.. I hope AF continues to stay away and you guys gets some really nice , and then you can share them with us

AFM.. My temp dropped to below cover line this morning, and i'm assuming that means AF is going to get me today. I'm OK with that, at this point I just want her to hurry up so I can move on to next month! The timing would be perfect if AF would arrive today, it would mean I could have my IUI on July 9-10th while in Canada. So yesterday was a tough day, between the crazy tornado watches from tropical storm Debby and having to drop Keegan off at his new home, and all the stuff I had to get done before I leave for Canada, I was an emotional basketcase. I did get most of what I needed to do, done. I am still fighting with my pharmacy to get a vacation override for my thyroid meds, and I haven't packed ANYTHING, but at least the big things are done!! The rest should be easy to do if I do a little each night after work. Did I mention I feel like crap this morning? I am sure AF is coming, my stomach is blah, my cramps are horrible, and my lower back feels like it is broken!!

Oh and I had an interesting thing happen yesterday, I was emptying my hot tub with a pump and a long hose to get the water out to the street and I had just started it. So I went inside to do some other stuff, and came back out and was like why isn't the water lowering? I checked the pump it was running, so then I went to check the hose, and it was unkinked, until I got to the end! Well someone had decided that I shouldn't be letting water out into the street and had kinked the hose in my fence to stop the flow! OMG I was at that. I wasted about 45 minutes of precious time yesterday because some jackass thought I was letting my hose run. If they had come around the corner they would have seen that the hose was coming out of my hot tub, and NOT the faucet at the side of the house. What on earth were they thinking? ARGH!!!

Ali...Thanks for the kind words...I am trusting and believing that God has something better in store for me. By the way, how long are your cycles? It seems that last month you and I were around the same time...maybe two days apart. But I am already on CD 10.

 

[FirstTry]

Terri and Alin - fingers crossed for you both!

CD2 here for me so I'm now officially back on the TTC madness x

Hey Angel: I'm on CD 2 also! I'll likely lay low until the TWW, but we can over-analyze together at that time

I'm actually going to do my HSG test next week, but that won't stop us from TTC.

HMM.. that is right we were on the same schedule, what happened? I am suddenly like 10-11 days behind (and that is if AF comes today). HMM. Well my cycles are on the longish side, I'm on CD 33 today, last month it was 32 days. That is about normal for me, somewhere between 29 and 33 days. I'm about 90% sure I will see AF today. Your cycles must be a lot shorter than mine, maybe in the 28 day range? I really wish she would show up, I am afraid to take any pain meds until I know AF is here. My AF drug of choice is Aleve and I don't think it is good to take if you are expecting.

Well, that explains it. I am 27-28 days and very regular. The only reason I don't know if it is 27 or 28 days is because I can never really tell when it actually starts. Lol! Never the less, 27-28 days like clockwork...perhaps that is a good thing.

Ali have u figured out what the stats number means

Yep, that explains it! I'm really not sure what my average length should be, just as soon as I decide that I'm a 32 day cycle, then suddenly I get a 28 day cycle or a 40 day cycle! I have been pretty regular around 31-33 days the past 4-5 months I think. I'm just surprised that it hasn't shown up yet. I really need it to so I can start feeling normal again. Especially with all the work I need to do around the house, like PACKING!!

I think it is the countdown to when you should test. Mine started at 5, then 4, and yesterday it said 3 and today it says 2. I also think it said somewhere that I should test on the 27th so that would jive with testing in 2 days. Course I don't know why it would suggest I test on 19 DPO, that seems like a really long time after O to test! This is only my first month charting on FF so that might be why it has such a long DPO time before suggested testing. Once I get another few months under my belt it will be more accurate I'm sure. Course I don't want to get a few more months under my belt.. I want it to happen now..

Ali your right as mine says T today as ff testing date but still bfn,I always thought anything past 18dpo was a sure sign of a pg chart,although u did have a massive drop this morning.

Yes, and don't forget I was on clomid AND progesterone, I'm sure both of these things messed with my cycle. One thing that I have noticed is how weepy I am the past few days, I am crying at the drop of a hat. Sometimes without even a reason to be crying. Saturday I broke down and was like WTF? Why am I crying? I literally couldn't figure out the reason nor could I stop. I was dumbfounded. I think I'm only 17 DPO right now, and if AF comes, then my cycle would be 32 days again, and today will become CD 1 right? I typically do have a long luteal phase. It always bothers me that all the research about LPs is that women have a LP defect and have short LPs, there is never any talk about long LPs. All the research says that LPs are 14-16 days long and it doesn't usually vary unless you have a defect and then it will be shorter. What about us women that have longer ones? There is literally NO research on that.

A luteal cyst can cause long lp apparently

OHHH.. yes I forgot about that! I bet that is what the issue is. I am prone to cysts, and have had pain on my right ovary. BINGO!!! That is totally what the issue is. I am almost 100% sure that AF will come today, in fact I was just about to get up and check. So bring on AF!!! I just want to get on to the next cycle
