I've made all the changes at the end of the last thread. I also did a bit of a cleanup and deleted anyone who hasn't posted in any thread in the TTC forum in May or June. If there are any lurkers who would like to be added back, let me know.

[vivica2]

ummmm... FMU.....FRER....7DPO.....BFN.....

[miriam_bat_avraham]

Thanks for the new thread, Kyamo!

Mommytoallh-- CONGRATS!!!

AFM-- CD14 (omgz must be ovulatin), and... almost thought AF was showing up yesterday. Just normal post-HSG bleeding, I guess. It was weird because I didn't bleed at all the day of the procedure, so I was really surprised! It ended quickly, though. I marked it as "Light" on my FF because it was more than spotting.

So I'm just sitting around, waiting to O Anyone heard any good jokes lately?

[mommytoallh]

Kyamo - Super thread keepers luck!!!


And I'm sending to EVERYONE ELSE!!!

I would like to check in on you guys if it's ok. I'm just not ready to be completely gone from here.

Here's my 11dpo pic of the frer, ic & cbe digi together

I swear it will be the last pic, probably not the last test.... I couldn't even pass the digi with my chemical in Nov, I was so scared to even take it this am.

Thanks, I hope so! My temp did go up some more this morning, but I'm pretty sure that's only because I slept in and temped an hour late, not because it means something.

[samy23]

My temp went right down today below the coverline, which I guessed meant I would be starting AF today, but no blood so far. I'm holding onto a glimmer of hope that it could be an implantation dip...but would it actually dip so much if it was implantation?

Someone has said it happened to them last month due to an estrogen surge.

Anyway, 9DPO BFN. I keep expecting AF everytime I go to the bathroom and wipe.

I 've run out of pregnancy tests So I can't test tomorrow with FMU even if AF hasn't arrived by then.

How long is your LP usually?

For the seven months I have been charting, it has varied between 8 and 13 days. Why?

well if you had a more stable one and it was generally 13 days, a temp dip at 9dpo would usually be considered an anomaly... however with such a random LP length who knows.

[Stevi]

Miriam_Bat_Avraham... FF allowed you to put in a "light" without starting a new cycle chart? How did you do that?

AAM... My OPKs are still reading negative, I'm hoping that means I'll get one positive, unlike last cycle. I also may have my cycle off by a day. I don't like the way FF uses "spotting", so I put light, and therefore FF started this cycle chart on the "light" day. To me spotting is when it's there one wipe, gone the next, and back again. And, light is when it's always there.

Anyway, that would mean ovulating on Wednesday, instead of Tuesday, which will give me a bit more time for adding more sperm. I have a date today and am babysitting tonight, so I can't start the fun until tomorrow.

Everybody Think Fertile Thoughts!

[MommyMatsumoto]

Hi everyone! Just stressing out over here. I'm on CD18 and had a big temp. drop today even though I thought I O'd on CD 16 because I had a temp. jump yesterday. I may be a bit of a hypochondriac, but I'm worried that I'm either not ovulating or have PCOS. Either way, I'm going to see if DH and I can get a BD session in today just in case I am ovulating.

Another thing I'm worried about is having too short of an LP. My cycle is, on average, 31 days so if I ovulate tomorrow or later, then my LP will be 12 days or less. 12 days or less is considered too short and carries higher risk of miscarriage, right? I've already had one m/c (in early 2007 before conceiving DD) and I really don't want to go through that again. Any thoughts?

And question for those taking soy isoflavones: When did you decide to start taking them and why?

I was wondering that too. And Stevi, what does AAM stand for? AFM = as for me, AAM = ?

AAM- i changed my desktop background... from swimming fish (pre-o) to a waterer watering grass (growing, post o) hope it helps.

[MrsMike]

Thank you for the new thread, Kyamo!

Sorry to abandon y'all yesterday. Much craziness at work = no internet time.

AFM: FF will give me crosshairs if I change my detection method. Everything but "advanced" gives me crosshairs. Kinda doesn't make sense since "advanced" is supposed to take everything into account and everything else says I O'd. So, if I did O I am 5dpo. I started progesterone today. A little late and I don't even know 100% that I O'd, but I'm on the progesterone for other issues, not just my cycle. I'm not trying to get pregnant this current cycle anyway.

Yep, All About Meeeeeee!!!

[vivica2]

i just let the feb DDC know were coming, just so there prepared for us.

[Ravin]

You can move me to the "Waiting to Know" section. I'm at CD 20 and the fertile CM has passed. If I hit AF again I'm buying a thermometer.

Should I pester DH to quit wearing the polyethyline workout pants he puts under his work pants? He wears them because it helps with a muscle he pulled a while back, but I'm concerned it'll impede production.

Sorry! I fixed it.

[scarletjane]

Ravin,
I would guess that if those pants are tight enough to provide relief from a pulled muscle that they're tight enough to not allow the testes to properly hang down (the heat up high near the groin can decrease sperm production).

Vivica, you're so cute! I love your optimism

MrsMike, I think that's because the advanced setting uses fertility friend's "research." (the quotes are intentional )

MommyMatsumoto, for most people, the luteal phase tends to be fairly consistent, as I understand it. If you normally ovulate on CD 19 and your cycle is 31 days long, then your luteal phase is 12 days. If you ovulate later (say CD 22), then your LP ought to be about the same and your cycle will just be longer (34 days in that scenario). That isn't always the case, but does tend to be true for most people, so don't worry about not having enough time for implantation. I didnt see your chart on the front page, so I couldn't look at it, but do you know if you normally have a thermal shift? If you do, then you are almost certainly ovulating. Sorry if this is all info. you already know. is that helpful?

ooh, Stevi, i'm glad you may end up with an extra day to find some contribution! good luck with your picking.

Samy, fingers crossed that was an implantation dip!

Kyamo, I'm hoping that threadkeepers luck is good to you this month!

Mommytoallh, it must be such a relief to see that digital "pregnant." so so happy for you!

Miriam, hoping you ovulate soon! and I hope you're having lots of fun in the meantime. remember to stretch first!

Vivica, you need a spanking. hey, why don't i have the mooning smiley? what do i have to do to get that? do i have to bribe FF? Can i pay for it in pregnancy points?

me, i'm just waiting. I'm 6dpo. does anyone else look at their chart 2,600 times a day? as if it's going to tell me something new. or dance for me or something.

happy fertility, everyone!
