*~*~March Obsess and Test~*~*

[MaerynPearl]

Testing every day from 1dpo will not make me pregnant and saying that will not stop me from doing so
FertilityFriend will not randomly post a big red PREGNANT over my chart But its only tenth time I have looked today, you never know if they will add that as a feature!
Evap lines are evil But I secretly hope for them just to have that second line on a test
I do not have TTC on my mind 24/7 Sometimes I think about what it will be like when we succeed!

We love cheap tests.
We love buying tests in bulk.
We have spent more on tests this cycle than we care to admit anywhere outside of this forum.

That twinge? Oh that could be implantation!
Am I nauseated or is it just that food I ate earlier?
Hello body? Could you just give me a definite sign?!

If you have ever even thought any of these comments, or something similar, this is where you can come to share. Post your tests to be scrutinized, whine about how long it is to get from 3dpo when you have your ovulation confirmed to 7dpo when you promised yourself you would wait to test.

Hi girls I'm going to jooin you here this month. I had a chemical pregnancy last month so we are back to TTC. I should O on the 10th of March and will ofcourse test early. i bought a bunch of ICs so we will see FX for all of us

[lawmama1984]

I will definitely be here this month! Trying to hold out until Friday to POAS, but I'll probably start Thursday if no AF

Hi everyone,

I am 9DPO today and have been testing for the last 3 days. It is possible that I didn't really even ovulate since I had an extremely weak thermal shift. CD53 otherwise, and hanging in there. Not stressing too badly. I have to admit, I've been pretty naughty this cycle and this morning had champagne for breakfast. On Friday I had 2 beers at a BBQ. After over a year of trying I'm sick of putting my life on hold for something that never seems to happen. And, I'm sick of people asking me why I'm not drinking....and then never being able to say "because I'm pregnant"...."because I'm trying to get pregnant" sounds so pathetic when you've been saying it for a year.

Plus, I was drinking a lot before I found I was pregnant with DS so maybe my body needs it to incubate an egg. Ha!

Good luck to everyone this month. There were lots of February HPT's so maybe this is the year we all get knocked up!

Rochelleann- I've been bad this month too. I tested on Friday at 9 or 10 DPO (I'm not really sure when I O'd this month, so those are guesses), and got a BFN. I was going to a friend's birthday that night and I didn't really want to deal with that particular group of people asking why I wasn't drinking (they are all friends who live in a different town and I don't see often), so I went ahead and had a few drinks...and then a glass of wine with dinner on Saturday.

[lmevans]

Ohhh, I love all those statements in the first post! <3

I'm CD1 today, after a LONG 51 day cycle. Glad to have it over and starting fresh. We're not actually officially TTC...but would be excited if our method "failed". LOL I really need to finish up my dental work first, but that should be done in April, fingers crossed!

[finnegansmom]

I try to not be an obsesser but there has been a complete breakdown with my willpower and I'm 8 DPO and have already tested 3 times. Twice on FRERs (ouch...).
Will someone please lock up the rest of my tests for another 4 or 5 days? Before I stab myself in the eye with my blaringly negative test stick? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I'm back in and ready for my BFP in March.

Again, I'm not charting so I have no real information. I don't even know if I ovulated, but I have no reason to think I haven't. I would predict that I am currently 6DPO at CD20.

I have zero symptoms apart from some minor cramping yesterday. After the constant disappointment from BFN's last month I'm not actually testing until est. 12DPO (March 8th). That being said, I don't hold out much hope for this month. Le sigh.

[finnegansmom]

Where is everyone? I need people to obsess with me please....

It's too quiet in here.

Me me me! I'm obsessed. Today I got my fourth positive OPK in a row. Huh? Am I gearing up to ovulate but too stressy to actually pull it off? I'm so confused. I'm ready to start the countdown already, dammit.

No... I saw your post about those somewhere else on the forum and ran off to double-check. They're the Kroger brand ("compare to Clearblue Easy").

[loonar]

An OPK update/public service announcement... I think those Kroger brand OPK were nonsense.

If you look at my chart ( http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/loonar ), those 5 + OPKs were all out of that same box of Kroger generics; the - ones that came before were a different brand. Today, after getting yet another blaring +, this time with FMU (I usually use SMU), I went out to buy a different brand. Sure enough, tested SMU with the different brand and got an unequivocal -.

I also discarded a temp that was probably artificially high (had a good amount of wine the night before) and now FF says I'm 3 DPO. I hope that's true; it makes sense with my other signs. I want to start peeing on a different kind of stick!

[MaerynPearl]

just a warning for you... if you keep those + opks in FF MAY change your solid crosshairs to dotted in a few days (because its confused as to why you kept getting so many + after O)

however, i dont know that for a fact... i just know Ive seen it happen before for some ladies.

[TonyaW]

I am joining in...been obsessing for about a week now. I am either waiting to start AF or get a freakin BFP already. I am 12dpo with a normal LP of 10days. My temps are still up and I am two days late. Though all my FRER tests are still BFN's and I have been testing everyday since 5dpo. I am using natural progesterone cream. I couldn't even sleep past 6am this morning and I normally temp around 7am. So I finally took my temp early and it was still up there. I even had uterine fullness and achiness like I did in my last pregnancy on 7-8 dpo.

obsessing today! I am on CD11 and my fert. monitor gave me a high reading today. WTH? I am so confused. I have always ovulated on CD 17, 18 or 19 with last month at cd17 beign the earliest ever since I started charting. Evenmon clomid I never O'd earlier than cd17. If my monitor is right then i shjould get another day of high and then 2 days of peak with O on sunday cd14. I have never ever O'd that early. I am wondering it it is because of the chemical PG last month maybe it threw my body off or something. I know I shouldn't complain about early O but I just don't understand how this is happening. I hope it stays this way.

Don't know how long you've been using the fertility monitor, or if you reset it after your chemical, but I know the first few cycles (or the first few after a reset) it can be wacky... like, when mine "knew" me, I would consistently get three days of High, then peak. However, now that I've reset it, it doesn't give me anything consistent like that.
I've read lots of stories of women who get literally a week of Highs the first few times after a reset- so you might still O like normal.

Don't know if that is any help at all, but thought I'd offer

Agree, that maybe bc of your chemical, your body is a bit thrown off. Fx for you.

[Rochelleann]

Tonya - your chart looks awesome! I wish I would get some nice high temps like that. FF thinks I am on 13dpo. Not really any signs at all this time. My cm is creamy and cp is medium and closed. Last luteal phase my breats were really sore, but this time only mildly sore.

I did get a nice pink line this morning 15 minutes after the time period. It's the closest thing I've seen to a BFP in the longest time! Hopefully will get a nice one in the morning, within a minute or so.

According to FF "charts like yours" there's an 80 percent chance I ovulated and 10 percent of pre and post o charts like mine resulted in pregnancies. I sure hope I did ovulate! Check out my chart and tell me what you think. No high temps for me!

[TonyaW]

Still a BFN for me this morning. I am majorly frustrated. I am 13dpo and normally have a 10 day LP. Still no AF either and my temp is still up. As I previously said, I had uterine fullness and achiness on 7-8dpo. What could that have been if I am no preggo?

Do you think it is possible I ovulated later? What do you all think? I am taking natural progesterone cream. Would that really make that huge a difference?

Tonya ~ i can't quite wrap my head around the + OPKs after ovulation on FF. You could have ovulated later, what happens if you discard the temp on CD 17?
