Hello all! Welcome to this week's ONE Thread. I am a new threadkeeper; please bear with me! I cleaned up some of the list, let me know if I deleted you by mistake. I will continue to clean up the thread throughout this week.

Where are the Father's Day testers? Any news?

[Kyamo]

Thanks for the new thread Virginia. Three first-time keepers in a row!

So the next time I went to the bathroom after testing, I had a twinge in my ovary and a bit of spotting - and I'm about 8 days away from AF if my LP is consistent. Oh, and plus my temp. went up 0.20 degrees today! I'm trying so hard not to get excited, but I'm starting to think I'm not totally out of the game yet. What do you ladies think?

TIA for obsessing with me!

Well, you are certainly not out of the game with a BFN and high temps at 11-13DPO. However, 8 days more left in LP? That doesn't sound right, I thought LPs more than 16 days were practically unheard of. How many cycles of data do you have?

AFM: My temp is way up this morning, but I'm only on CD10 and only just took the last dose of clomid last night. Is that even possible? Didn't expect to O that early, so timing is not the best, but could be worse. I guess I just wait and see if it stays up. However, I'm also thinking about babygrey's previous clomid chart I saw recently where the temp went waaay up on the day of her first dose and didn't come back down, but she still O'd later. Mystified right now, heh. I'm supposed to start OPKs tomorrow but I don't know if I should still do that.

MommyMatsumoto, I would say that you have a 13 day LP, based on your 4/20 cycle. I think FF is wrong with your O date. In that case, you only have 2 days to wait! Good luck!!

[vivica2]

kyamo- you, me, and karmab are cycle buddies. exactly! lol and not too sure about the clomid, never taken it sorry.

sweet.bee glad you found some opks!
AAM- cd10 and my IC's came last night!
yeah i can start peeing on things!

[SimplyRochelle]

BFN at 12dpo so I guess that gives AF the go ahead.

Yay! Hoping for a BFP for you!

AFM~ 5dpo today. Was remembering back to when we got pg with dd 5+ years ago. We were surprised by her because we hadn't started TTC yet, and I'd just started charting a few days before we DTD. I was having some early signs of pg 13-14 dpo with her (constipation, modd swings mostly). It was funny because we went camping, and I'm really outdoorsy, but the trip was a bust because of me. I freaked out that we weren't near a bathroom and didn't have a table. I made us move multiple times. We even drove an hour to a different lake, but it was snowing there and I made dh drive me around in the middle of the night to warm me up, then we slept in our truck with our dogs! It was a good thing it turned out to be pg related, because we were newlyweds, and I'm sure dh was wondering what he did marrying me

That makes much more sense! And now I can definitely see why I didn't get pg last cycle. On the bright side, maybe my cycles are more regular than I thought. I'm going to order some OPKs for this cycle to see if I can back up FF's ovulation date. Thanks so much for your help!

No problem! You sound like me around O time. At least we have an excuse...

Your chart looks much better! If you want red Crosshairs you could just exclude a temperature or two before FF says you Oed. Have you read 'Taking Charge of your Fertility'? Weschler says that a normal LP is anywhere from 11-16 days long and can vary 1-2 days, but only in one direction; so I have a 13 day LP... sometimes it could be 14/15 or 11/12, but not 11 and then 15 days.

AFM: Super dark OPK today after only a minute or two! Oing in the next few days!!! Must be either threadkeeper's luck or my acupuncture appointment from earlier this week. Time to BD!

Thanks for the new thread Virginia884

[MrsMike]

Thanks for the new thread! Please move me to Waiting to O. I'm 99.9% sure we are not going to TTC this cycle. I want to do another cycle with progesterone first. I also need to kick my nasty coffee habit. I'm starting yoga classes tomorrow for the first time in a long time. Can't wait. Hopefully, it'll get some nice energy flowing.

[vivica2]

any cervical position experts out there?

started checking my CP this cycle, actually today was my first time... any suggestions tips, ect?

[sleepingbeauty]

Thanks for the new thread!

[Stevi]

9dpo, nothing to obsess about. I'm guessing AF will arrive on schedule.

I'm still not feeling great, and slept in unti 1pm today! Sheesh!

That's all for now, just wanted to pop in and see how everybody was.

Everybody think Fertile Thoughts!

[slylives]

Hi - I am a longtime lurker. Please add me to Waiting to Ovulate.

I'm on my second round of Clomid, after 1 ectopic and 2 early miscarriages. I am giving myself an Ovidrel shot in a couple of hours, and then dragging my poor husband off to bed (does sex feel like a chore to anyone else?) Fingers crossed!

[maxnmaizy]

I am in the waiting to know camp.

Today looks like 1 dpo, but this is my first month of charting so I am not sure I have dates correct. Anyone care to do some thinking with me? As I said, I think O occurred Friday or Saturday. Today (Sunday) I am feeling a lot of twinges of pain in my left ovary. Does this mean I am ovulating today? When is it normal to feel the egg being released and how does that coincide with o and fertility?

Here is my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2e7ee2

TIA!

Thanks! I have not read TCOYF, but it's on my to-buy list! Thanks for the info!

Check it once a day, same general time. It will move throughout the day, so you will just make yourself crazy checking over and over. HTH!

Done! Do you have a chart you would like linked?

I'm no expert, but your temps look low to me to be post-O. Anyone else have any idea?
