well..

its normal, while breastfeeding, to gear up to O and not O... even to do so several times without Oing

Moonangel- I don't know. It depends how many dpo you are. Theoretically you could get pos a day or two after implantation. I don't want to waste any either...

Metal mouth continues... still peeing a lot.

CROSS POSTED**
Well I am slightly baffled by my chart and my neg test... could I have possibly O'd on cycle day 16 instead... I have it in my notes that I had eggwhite CF that day (was not sure if it was just previous BD's leftovers or not- and my cervix had opened back up and had moved back up higher...so just to be safe we happened to BD that night- Since FF had already listed me as having ovulated and I was *suppose to be* on 3 dpo I began my progesterone that night as well.

I am still nursing my dd (20 mths old) about once before bedtime- occassionally she nurses for a couple of seconds for comfort one other time per day- but she seriously only latches on for like a minute or 2 tops.

I am suppose to be at 14 dpo today based on O day being on CD 13... got a BFN again this am... but my temp went up even higher today and now FF says I am Triphasic!
If I O'd on CD 16 then I would just be 11 DPO...

Can any chart experts try to help me figure this out more... ?
I usually have always had pretty average cycles...with O being between 13-15 CD...but I know breastfeeding at all can affect your cycles.

I am trying to decide if I should stop my progesterone or not....normally if I have a negative test by 14 DPO I am told by my doctor to stop the progesterone and allow AF to arrive.

I am super confused! I still have some nausea off and on- tender breasts...and yesterday had some pretty convincing cramps that made me think AF was arriving at any moment....my CF has also switched to more EW quality and my cervix is still kindof high/medium, but closed and firm...

What a roller coaster!

i am 12 dpo today.... testing just keeps getting more an more grueling. my last pregnancy which was an ectopic i got a bfp on my 13 dpo, with ept digital. this time im using the early pregnancy test stips bc i read that they are more sensitive to hcg. i keep getting the evaporation lines which totally screw with my hopeful heart... lol. i know you have all been there... no swollen or sore boobs or other symptoms. nose slightly stuffy and slight cramping but my hubby is sick so i think im just getting what he has.

ugh!!! i have my 1st obgyn appt tomorrow with a fertility specialist and i kind of want to cancel bc i feel like im getting my period.

I POAF (peed on a FRER ) this morning. Even though my temp dropped (not below coverline...yet). 10DPO. I'm crazy.

Now I'm imagining lines.

Take a look. You tell me. I AM imagining things, right? I think I see lines on every pee stick now, I swear.

Kingsdaughter- don't know, sounds promising! I will check your chart...

iheartmyfamily- yes the ic strips are a bit confusing! I have now had several dark enough to be visible evap-ish lines not knowing what is going on but seeing possibly a progression or greater visibility... and now I am out of ICs. Maybe instead of AF you will get a bfp?

Well today temp jumped. If it stays up perhaps I will get triphasic temps... and tested this morning with a pink foil FRER. It seems to have some kind of visible line on it that was apparent at about 5 minutes, still there at 10, and still there now, actually more visible now it's dried. But not dark enough for me to see anything definitive. Anyone else see anything on this?

First, pic of positive OPK from last night

And FMU FRER

http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02242.jpg

Does anyone know how to invert this? I normally never try to do this, but I am curious this time...

I am thinking 10dpo today (ala FF, rather than 13dpo ala tcoyf). What do you all think?

i edited it and see nothing. if you are getting a + opk and NOT a dark + FRER... then your opk is picking up LH and not hCG... they are not that sensitive to pick up a pregnancy before a FRER.

Maeryn- I hear what you're saying. Maybe I O'd yesterday. I guess we'll see.

But here, I can't see it very well in that first pic. Try this one and see...

Tara2 - I don't really see anything on your FRER- but your chart looks great!

MIDawn- I totally see a light pink line on yours!! :-)

MaerynPearl- Got any ideas on my O date or ideas about what might be going on with my chart and now triphasic temps? You seem to be the resident expert around here so I would love your opinions! :-)

Here- my current stats are - BFN FRER test this am, still have mild off and on nausea...breast tenderness off and on, lots of cramping yesterday (thought for sure AF would be here this am) my temps went up even more today and I got a Triphasic on my charting by FF....I also am having a lot of EWCM....for the past 2 days. I am thinking perhaps I O'd on CD 16 instead of CD 13- I had alot more EWCM that day than on day 13 but I thought maybe it was from the previous BD'ing we had done....but it was very stretchy so???? I also noticed that day that my cervix which had been closed up the day before had opened up again and was either medium or high in position- ( I have a hard time telling that one sometimes- but I know it was soft and open for sure) Oh and if I simply change the cervical position on CD 16 to HIGH instead of my listed medium it immedaitly changes my O date from 13 to 16! Because of that and my temp dropping back down so much after my *supposed* O date of CD 13 Dh and I BD'd again that night just to make sure to cover our bases..lol! I also started my progesterone that same night because my doc says to start it on 3 DPO and FF said that's how far along I was. In hindsight now I am thinking that I might have O'd that day- so hopefully it didn't mess anything up. Sorry for rambling- I guess just let me know what you think... I am trying to decide if I should keep taking my progesterone for another few days just in case.

my thoughts....

your O date is incorrect. You are only 10dpo (which you are still quite likely to get a BFN at 10dpo even if you ARE pregnant. Trust me, I did this pregnancy! Snow-friggin-white-no-hope-at-all BFN)

kingsdaughter- Is it me or does your FF chart right now look an awful lot like your conception chart from before? But you said you are taking progesterone?

So which CD do you think is my O date MaerynPearl?

Tara2- YES I JUST noticed that this chart looks VERY similar to my pregnancy chart with Madilynn!!! LOL! I am serious if my O date moves up a few days I will have *almost* twin charts!! lol! I also took progesterone with her but started it at 10 DPO when I got my first + test....since I am still nursing Madilynn once per day my doc wanted me to start it at 3 DPO to help thicken the lining up etc since nursing can further reduce progesterone levels in the blood and I already have a low progesterone problem that has resulted in 4 early losses.

err didnt notice that

if you started the progesterone on cd16... you could have possibly started it pre-o stopping you from oing... because that is a possibility... you need to get a blood hcg test before you stop taking the progesterone.

since progesterone is what causes your temps to rise post-o... theres actually no way to know for certain if O ever actually happened.

and any pregnancy symptoms you get during progesterone use needs to be ignored... because early pregnancy symptoms are caused by the increase in progesterone due to pregnancy

Ok I just enter my CP sign as HIGH on CD 16 which it probably was- I am sure it was not low and was most definitally open and soft too. FF changed my O date to CD 16 which puts me at 11 DPO today... I also did a chart overlay with Madilynn's chart and my current one.. you should go see it now...LOL! It is amazing how alike they are- I think I should continue my progesterone a few more days cause maybe just maybe I really did O later and in that case I would NOT be out of the game yet and just *might* still get a BFP in a few days with how nice my chart looks... AND it sure does look like my previous conception chart with my 20 mth old!
