Please move me to WAITING TO KNOW Ovulated yesterday, I think...

[Sweet.Bee]

CLH_X3, Your chart seemed so promising. Good luck at your doctor's appointment.

I'm really inclined to think I did not O yet, since my post-O temps in previous cycles were 98 and above and I haven't broken that 98-degree ceiling yet this cycle at all.

I'm hoping I didn't O yet since we didn't BD until the evening of the day AFTER where FF wants to put my crosshairs. DH is working 15 hour days 7 days a week so there's not a lot of that going on right now. I will be so upset if I finally ovulated and missed it.

Crickets...

Put me down for the 2ww, thanks!

[Stevi]

My LP was 12 days. But I've had some wierd cycles recently, mostly due to antibiotics.

I put all of the positive OPKs into my chart for last cycle, if I O'd after my first, it would put O at cd14, giving me a 10 day LP. The darkest OPK was on CD15, putting O there or on CD16, giving me an even worse LP. I think I don't want to think about it anymore.

I'll be 41 at the end of the month, and I so wanted a BFP before that happened. Sigh.

I should have an interesting cycle, though. I'm kind of seeing one of the donors, I think. And, I just moved in a guy I previously dated. He's in the spare room, and, he is going to be a temptation. I guess we'll see where I am in 2 weeks when I ovulate. At 41 years old. Ugh.

And, I found out a couple days ago that one of the kids I work with is up for adoption. I don't think I can adopt him, but I can't stop thinking about it.

Everybody think Reproductive Thoughts!!!

WTH- it is possible to o without catching in on an opk, o's can be stealthy like that, that's why we have to poas like 2-3 times/day when we suspect it's coming, but your chart does not look at all like you have o'd. "keep calm and carry on." i suspect you will have a + opk soon.

[vivica2]

WTHamI?- doesn't look like youv o'd yet to me either, i do an opk with SMU, and at about 5 pm.


good luck!

[Stevi]

CLH_X3... I am so sorry. Big hugs! I hope you learn something helpful at your appointment.

hope it IS an interesting cycle, that is better than an uneventful one!

and adoption is in my future as well, if we have the place, and love to raise a child, it doent matter who birthed them. that is my viewpoint.

I ended up ordering one that ppl here recommended

Yes- I only asked after I looked in all the spots. I didn't have faith in the teen sales clerk

That's what I was thinking!

AAM- 6dpo today. Just took my bra off and my bbs (hope this abbreviation is right) are feelin' sore. Hope this is a good sign Not sure if this would be a sign this early or not. Now that I bought a whole bunch of preg tests at the $ store, it's hard to wait to use them!

Thanks! For once I was actually hoping I HADN'T ovulated, since we would have missed the egg! I didn't think it looked like it either, but FF was getting all crosshair happy if my temp stays the same tomorrow. Cuz I'm obsessive like that and play with temps.

[Stevi]

Vivica2... There are a few reasons that I don't know if I could take this boy. First, I don't know if my current income will qualify me as an adoptive parent, And, second, this little guy has some issues that may not make it safe to ever have him around younger kids.

[Stevi]

Oh, I just figured out that the relationship with the one donor is FWB. Fine with me, it means no guilt if my new roomie gets too tempting to resist!

fwb?

[Stevi]

FWB = Friends with benefits. Pretty much means we are each others' booty call, with no commitements. This type of relationship makes much more sense, since he's 26!

Stevi this is the relationship with my donor guy too. I wouldn't say we are close friends, but we chat on the phone about problems and stuff, we know we are there for eachother if necessary. So yeah friends with benefits.

Does he know you want to get pregnant? Even if he doesn't, he's taking that risk of it happening when he has sex with you, protection isn't 100%.

Oh I'm so frustrated now, my donor guy is ready and willing, and I should be O-ing at the end of the week or weekend....(better get the OPk's out today), but I can't dtd because of this darn health issue. I'm really hoping to get it sorted out at the hospital later this week, and then maybe, just maybe I won't ovulate until beginning of next week, and I get chance to inseminate! ahhhhhhhhh

CLH s

[CLH_X3]

samy23 - I hope you get better real quick! And O waits for you

Sweet.Bee - Thanks Hun

Stevi - Haha, FWB ... You go girl BEFORE I got with my OH, back in the day I had a FWB, He was a nice guy... Still talk to him now sometimes!

...Oh and my app well what a load of crap. The doc said all my test results come back great so thats good, and that they wouldnt do anything since I got preg but miscarried in jan 2010, she said I would have to wait 2 years from then which means I would have to wait another 18 months ish til I can see someone if it doesnt happen, even though im going on to my 10th cycle and I came of BC in dec 2008.

so basically just carry on as I am now...

The max I will leave it though is a year before I go back!

QUESTION TIME.... even though im taking EPO it doesnt seem to be increasing my EWCM anymore....

any other remedies I can try ? Il try Anything so roll in the ideas.

I Can only think of grapefruit juice ? and water at the moment to help ? anymore ladies!! ...?

[Stevi]

Samy23... Smilie, that's this donor's nicname, is slightly different than the others. I don't see him only when I'm ovulating. We are not using protection, he knows that there's a risk of pregnancy, as I made sure he knew that I would welcome it, and that there will be no strings for him if it happens. I've actually been pretty open about how much I want kids, so, while I don't think he quite gets that that was my original interest in him, I think he understands how much I would like it to happen. Did that all make sense?

Now Joe, he is going to be a whole other story... I wish he weren't so dang adorably woeful! I've already crossed boundaries with him that I shouldn't have.

Now, you tell that body of yours to behave and get healthy so you can marinate that egg!

I, unfortunately will be seeing my doctor on Wednesday, and probably have to go on antibiotics again. As I said, it should be an interesting cycle.

[Stevi]

CLH_X3... Lots of water! And, Mucinex. The dollar stores carry a generic version around here, it's called Guaifenesin, I think. I use it with my lungs and others here have used it for EWCM. It works great!

[Virginia884]

Updated to here! boots, do you have a chart you want linked?

AFM... 2 days of + OPKs and perhaps another (lighter) + this morn with SMU. I told DH we were getting busy every 36 hours, so he woke me up at 4am with "Wanna make a baby?" Hoping the + OPKs go away (will test again tonight) and my temp goes up!
