That second insem was at 12 noon, because statistically as all my previous charts have shown, I should have ovulated that day or that night. I think I ovulated the next day and frozen sperm, ICI, doesn't last quite that long. *shrug* But, who knows, right??

Osker - thanks for the hugs Really, in real life, I'm not the spaz I seem to come across as lately on these boards. I just want to get this done!

So sorry for the confusing chart. That would drive me crazy too. But, you never know...this conception stuff really is a miracle so don't give up all hope!

Megan - speaking of charts, YOURS looks awesome!! If it goes up tomorrow, are you testing???

Thanks...it doesn't look bad but pretty identical to last cycle so far. Our plan is to test Tuesday morning unless I'm not feeling like testing then. We'll decide tomorrow. Yesterday I felt so hopeless (irrationally so) when my temp dropped. Today I feel more balanced. We'll see!

[mkpgoddess]

Megan - Tuesday is a good day! It does look similiar, just better FX for you!!!

[sunwillshine]

megan - fx for Tuesday!!!

mkp - I see FF finally gave you your CHs... I'm hoping that those swimmers were literally in place waiting for that egg as it dropped! Although I know you're worried that the timing wasn't perfect, I've still got high hopes for you!

AFM - the EWCM has finally stopped. Creamy now. I overlaid my pregnant chart, last month's chart, and this month's chart and I think things are looking good (so far). Oh, I hope I hope I hope!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

[mkpgoddess]

Lyndzies - Yeah, I'm worried, but trying to keep it in perspective in between "is that a heaviness in my uterus or do I need to pee" moments. Your chart looks fabulous too! When are you supposed to test/get AF (or NOT get AF as the case will be)?

[Mistral]

Good Morning,

Can I be moved to waiting to O?

Thank you

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

FF wants me to wait to test till Saturday. AF is due Friday. Let's hope she is a no-show! Oh, and I really really don't think I'll be able to hold out till Saturday, but stranger things have happened. I'm shooting for holding out till tomorrow for right now. Then I'll decide whether to hold out till Wednesday. Baby steps. Lol!

Damn!!! I'm so sorry the witch showed up. Next month will be your month, Mistral!

AFM - Ooooooh, that "possibly triphasic" message popped up today! I know better than to get too excited, because it's happened before and I wasn't pregnant... but I'm just gonna obsess about it a teeny tiny bit, m'kay?

[megan sacha]

Mistral, sorry you're back in waiting to O.

Lyndzies, your chart is looking awesome still and I commend you for fighting the urge to test.

My temp eeked up again today despite needing to take it an hour early so I could pee, further messing with my head. DW even said I could test today if I wanted (shocked!) but I really don't have the urge. I think I'm just too scared to see a BFN. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic and waiting to see my temp tomorrow and then I'll probably test unless it looks super useless. Today's a day spotting could start, so I"m bracing myself for that possibility too. Don't you love it when you start getting afraid to use the bathroom?

[osker]

Oh, Mistral, I'm so sorry.

[mkpgoddess]

Lyndzies and Megan - WHOO HOO!!! Go, temps, go!!!! You both look "possibly triphasic" and while I'm the first to admit that temps can mean diddlysquat when it comes to being pregnant, you guys might just be!!!

Mistral - I'm sorry.

AFM - I'm about to go get lost, literally, as I'm hunting down a jewelry artist down in Laguna Beach. Hopefully that should keep me well and distracted. 4 or 5 dpo = yawn.

[katharinerose]

Mistral: So sorry about the bad news.

Lyndzies: Your chart looks excellent!!! Good luck holding out.

megan: that there is no spotting for you, and a BFP soon!

AFM: FF finally got its act together and agrees with me on my O date. I'm at 6DPO with nothing much to note. No pre-AF boob soreness yet, but no pregnancy omens, either. Well, I had some very slight, poke-y kind of cramps last night, but that could be anything. I'll be kept busy this week getting everything ready for my Dad's surprise 60th birthday party. Most of his family is coming up from OR for the weekend, so there is much surreptitious cleaning of bedding and polishing of silver and shampooing of carpets.

AAAARRRRGGGHHHH. I was psychologically prepared for this to be my last IUI before we moved on to plan B (IVF or my partner carrying again). But at my day 10 follicle scan today there were two smooshed follicles on my right ovary, aka the Giant Endometriomia. As my RE puts it, "Welllll, there's no data that necessarily indicates that your chances of conceiving are lower, but anecdotally it seems to be the case." So we have to decide whether or not to skip a month or gamble $1500 again.

Stupid endometriosis. The doctors don't know how to treat someone who is in no pain and has perfectly clear tubes, yet was diagnosed with stage IV endometriosis during a surgery over a decade ago. I'm a mystery. And extremely thankful that I don't experience the pain that many many many women do.

Okay, done venting. I'm going for a run before my little one gets home from preschool.

[osker]

Ugh! I hate when life throws a monkey wrench in our plans!

[sunwillshine]

Thanks to those who chart stalked me. I'm trying not to get too excited, but you all know how it is. Lol.

Megan - I totally hear you about being "scared" to see a BFN. I am the same exact way and this is part of the reason I have such a love/hate relationship with early testing. But is IS so tempting! Also with ya on the being afraid to use the bathroom stuff.

mkpgoddess - hope you didn't get too terribly lost!! Find anything good??

katharinerose - Glad to hear you and FF are on the same page now! Lol. I think sometimes "nothing to note" is the best symptom there is! Your dad's party sounds like a great distraction.

cejae - ugh, how terribly frustrating. I guess if it were me I wouldn't "chance" it with the money... but then again, I guess it's always a chance no matter what way you look at it. Sorry to hear about your endo (my DP suffers horribly from it) but glad to hear it doesn't cause you pain! I hope you're able to conceive (soon) despite this obstacle!!!

[megan sacha]

Ok, things are still looking promising for me and I'm planning to test in the morning unless my temp takes a huge dip or something. Ack!

[Mistral]

Megan and Lyndzies - Are you testing this morning? Good luck!
cejae - Good luck making your decision.

Everyone else- I hope you are having wonderful weeks.

[mkpgoddess]

Lyndzies and Megan - omg.....your charts are fab......

[sunwillshine]

OMG, Megaaaaaaaan.... did you test or what??? Great chart.

I think I may have to POAS this afternoon. This wait is KILLING me. I know it's early, but at least a BFN would make me stop obsessing till tomorrow. Unless it was a BFM... and that would kill me even more.

ARRRGHHHH!

Can you tell I'm not feeling very zen?

[cejae]

Lyndzies, honestly I think zen is overrated . That said, wait until tomorrow morning to POS, because otherwise you'll just keep thinking - oh it wasn't first thing in the morning, maybe it was too diluted etc. Or at least that's what I would think!
