Congrats to the BFPS! Hugs to those who are out right now...

Managed not to temp for 4 whole days... temps today and yesterday are still low. Got yet another positive OPK yesterday. That makes how many in 2 months??!

Think I will temp again tomorrow and then take another break. I sleep better when I am not charting.
Good to hear from you. and, Mama, JMHO, but if you are tired and not charting gets you more sleep- then love on yourself and get some sleep! Sleep and rest can bring O...

JSYK, I had the SAME experience with OPKs and bf'ing. Mine were + all the freaking time. I just about lost it obsessing (that's actually what inspired me to start posting in the first place). After 6 + opks in a month, I gave up. I couldn't stand looking at a + and then not O'ing.

blessings and rest for you.

Wow congrats to all the BFPs! I can't believe what a great month this has been so far!

I'm on CD5 and the spotting has officially stopped from the D&C. I started temping this morning. I'm on the fence about vitex, I was thinking of ordering some but can't decide if I need it or if it's overkill or what.

Also, what does "FX" mean?

I hate to be AAM, but I have a busy morning and I'm a bit perplexed. I still haven't had a +OPK, but remember that EWCM I posted about when I started treating my yeast infection? Well, the next two mornings (yesterday and today), I've had high temps. I'm not supposed to be checking CM/CP while treating the YI (and that's why there's so little information on my chart about it), but last night was the last dose so later today I'll be checking for sure. I don't know what to think. I certainly would like to be ovulating again, but with all the sickness in the house, I can assure you there is absolutely no chance of pregnancy if I did just ovulate, and that would crush me, especially if I have to wait another 3-5 months to ovulate again.

So, if want to look at my chart, would you be willing to share your thoughts on possible ovulation? I know that with missing, disturbed, and otherwise somewhat erratic temps due to me being sick, it's hard to say, but I'd like your opinions. Also, if I did ovulate, do you have any idea whether I'm going to be somewhat back on track or still stuck in this limbo-land? I'm sure it's just going to be a waiting game to figure out both questions.

FX=fingers crossed

I've heard Maca is generally better than Vitex for balancing things out. I just started Maca 5 days ago though, so I can't speak from experience yet (although temp did drop again this morning, making me question if I really did O, yet again...at this point I'm just waiting for AF so I can hopefully have a more normal cycle next time...)

Thank you! So, why do people take Vitex then? I have maca in my "cart" but was going to take both. Dh is really really stressed about TTCing again, after this loss, so I'm going to put in extra effort (ie, obsessiveness) to see if we can get a BFP sooner rather than later. Anyways, I think I'll order it this morning. I'm already taking B6 again for a short LP, EPO, and am still taking my prenatals anyway...

Zwitterion, to me, it doesn't look positive that you O'd. I bet your temp drops tomorrow although I hope you O soon, a long cycle like that (been there BTW and it sucks) is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Zwitterion~why are the first 3 temps above the coverline x'd out ? It could be possible you did O when the chart says you did.

SoCali - I crossed those out because I was really sick with a cold at the time. Hey, I'll take it if I did ovulate then, because heck, then I *could* be pregnant. Gosh, now you have me wanting to POAS! Not that it takes much to push me that direction...

I wish I could look at your chart but for some reason I can't ever see the TCOYF charts...I always get an error

Hi all- 12 dpo here and in the middle of a possible BFP saga... all posted in the Feb obsess and test thread... didn't want to post it all here..lol!

Looks like I may have a BFP on my hands...but not too sure just yet because it is very light...took 2 Answer tests and got + on both but both very light...BBE digi said "not preggo"... Ic test appears to have a very very faint line today... will be re-testing again today and such... just armed myself with 2 FRER digis, two 2 packs of Answers and one equate +/- test... think that's enough???? ROFL!

I will let you all know!

So I'm 10DPO today.....POAS and got a . I also used my last CBdigi test (bummer...I totally should have waited) and it came up "not pregnant."

Trying not to lose hope. Hearing all the stories of ppl testing at 10DPO and getting negatives when they were infact pregnant is making me feel a *little* better. I hate waiting...and have ZERO patience. *sigh* My temp dropped slightly this morning..but nothing too big. Looking back at past cycles I could be getting my period tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday so who knows! I'll keep using the IC's to test in the morning until AF shows or is late....then I'll go buy FRER and some digi's.

That's all for now ladies...

Re

First off.. to all the blessed woman who got BFP's!! I am so very happy for all of you!!

As for me, AF showed up and I am on cd 4...but the good news was that I did have a 14 day luteal phase!! I have been taking vitex now for almost 3 mths..and it has helped my cycle I am convinced of it!! I went from a luteal phase of 7 days and oing on cd 24, and cd 29...to having a luteal phase of 14 days and oing on cd 19!! I am hoping my o day will move up sooner..but little one is still nursing a lot, so if it doesn't so be it, and I'll just have to be patient!!

Kingsdaughter, I so hope you see a darker line next testing!!

Noon test results-

Held pee for 4 hours with no drinking of fluids.

Took Answer test- got a BFP although still light- but appears to be a smidge darker than yesterdays and definitally darker than this mornings...Also took another IC and finally got a definite although very faint second line on it- so far they had all been BFN. SO I am thinking that I am probably pregnant and will just watch and see how the next few days and tests go. I went ahead and told my DH and showed him the Answer test and he is THRILLED! :-)

I still won't totally get happy and celebrate till I get a + on a Digi!

Congrats to all the ladies with BFPs!!!

Can I be moved to waiting to O? I think I'm on cd4 or 5...

Bleh - I'm out. AF found me this morning. Totally shocked, I thought I was only 11-12 dpo and I was waiting so patiently to test, though I had a big temp drop yesterday. Had no cramps or anything hinting I was getting AF. Was really hoping I had timed it well (for my first chart/pp cycle).
Please move me to waiting to o.

Congrats on all the successes this month! Here's hoping to join you next month!

Congrats Kingadaughter! That is wonderful, have a healthy and peaceful 9 months!

Kikaaaso - congrats on the 14 day LP. I haven't had one of those since 2005! I would be VERY happy with one of those, each cycle I gain a day I consider it a victory.

WendyLynnn - sorry about AF.

Wow - it seems like everytime I log in here there is another bfp! Congratulations everyone - spread that baby dust around!!!

I FINALLY found an ob/gyn who will take me on as a patient & prescribe clomid (hopefully it will work as fabulously as last time) & can get me in within the month!!! I have to get a referral from my family dr. but I have an appointment for ds later this month so that's not a problem. I'm so relieved - I've spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find someone at all & am super excited that it's not another 10 month wait.

I still don't have ppaf. I feel so full & achy & bloated all the time right now but no sign. Definitely not pregnant. I'm starting to wonder if something else weird is going on. Sigh. I've never wanted to see af before.

Big Congratulations for Kingsdaughter! Yay!

Today's opk was so blaringly positive darker than control that it made me wanna take a pic, lol. Makes 3rd day in a row of pozzies, though today is only one that is for sure ++ Will post more in a day or two to update.
