It will give you time to sort through the whirlwind of emotions,

So far your chart is looking very pretty though.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that you test. I just meant that your chart is driving me crazy because I don't know what's going on. I would definitely wait a while before poas since it's not clear how many dpo you really are.

Oh good! I agree that I have no idea how many DPO I really am so testing before Friday would be a little silly. Of course, that doesn't mean that I won't be going to the dollar store tonight and buying some tests! Oh and my chart is driving me crazy too!

But even 11 dpo is long enough for a +hpt...

I've been reading my Art of Natural Famly Planning and driving myself nuts with the "Surprise Pregnancies -- learning from others" section -- all these charts where people got pregnant with fairly tricky cycles -- a lot of which I would have fallen for! Scary stuff.

P.S. funny how we went 6 months or so with no preggos, then KABOOM! Babies are contagious, right? Just not for me, I hope

I'll probably test this evening with a dollar store test knowing full well that 11 DPO with evening urine will probably not show much. Cramping is pretty much gone at this point.

You are evil!

I get pretty good lines in the evenings at 11dpo with any test.

You guys are all bad! But I love it!

I've been saying for the past couple of months that if a baby is supposed to be here, they will find a way to get here. So we'll see what happens.

I agree. We should have a non-public forum for sex talk, that would be fun!

My friend who texted me when she was in labor just sent me pics and a video of her newborn baby girl. Now I want one so badly!

I AGREE!!! One of my friends just had a baby boy last week that I went to see and my best friend is pregnant. I have never wanted a baby more than I do right now! I feel like everyone around me has babies.

Sorry to drag this one up again... do you mean CD28 or may 28? I just wondered if that's why we were missing the two temps there, because you said you stopped temping after three rising temps. If it was may 28, then who knows, you may have still been fertile, can't tell without the missing/inaccurate temps. But if yes it was CD28, then yeah, I think we can safely say it should be a W/D error.

Annie: That chart looks innnnnteresting!

Rara: It does sound bad, but we have to be fair, almost all of them were intended, even if it was technically an 'oops'.

MW: Thank you, that makes a little more sense. It's funny though, because 1.5" doesn't seem like it should make that big a difference, but obviously it does. I think I may start checking CP just for the heck of it to see if I can start to tell the difference. I figure I'd like to be able to check my own during pregnancy anyways (as opposed to the midwife), so I might as well start getting used to the differences.

BabyCakes: I forgot how hopeful your chart looked! Looking forward to the next week and seeing how it all goes.

AFM: It looks like we "escaped" another month probably with successful avoiding, by no desire of mine. Two W/D within fertile period, but I'm fairly confident they were both 'good'. Boo erms.

Well ladies, there's a line. It's very faint but it has plenty of color.

Because of the faintness, I guess I would go with CD 15 as O putting me at 11 DPO instead of CD 12 as O putting me at 14 DPO. Plus the fact that I appear to be pregnant means it has to be CD 15.

I'm going to test again the morning before I officially call it on FF. I would definitely put this as user error because we didn't wait three days.
