scarlett, wait... you are only 10DPO?? you could still have implantation today!!! i'm still gonna hold out hope!!

[BunnyLullabye]

Wehrli I am SO excited for you!

Scarlett 10DPO is still WAY too early to test (even though I always do lol). I'm with Wehrli, I'm still holding out hope!

I could use some insight from anyone willing to chart-stalk me. My OPKs can be a little difficult to read since I usually get many days of faint lines before I get a real positive. But I'm pretty sure I got positive on Wednesday, and that's day 15, same as last two previous cycles. How much can I count on my temps? I was on 100mg clomid day 5-9, but no progesterone this whole cycle yet. Am I going to ovulate today? We're trying to figure out if we should save a little money and have a more relaxing home drive by checking out Saturday, or wait for Sunday. Plus now I'm halfway wondering if we should skip today and insem Saturday morning instead? His volume looks pretty decent to me even going every day, though of course who knows the concentration. I figure it's probably still more than frozen since they split frozen up and then loose a lot in freeze/thaw. But would I be better letting it build up another day? OMG I don't know how any of you do it with frozen, I'd be going out of my mind with anxiety trying to time it right!

Moving day

Hi, all. I'm in the middle of a moving tornado (on what will be the hottest day of the summer so far...UGH), but I wanted to stop in to say...
CONGRATULATIONS TO WEHRLI!!!!


And great job Gelly on O timing! Nice job!

Scarlett I'm crossing my fingers for you that your temp jumps back up. 10dpo still leaves time for hope!

[burg]

I am still crossing everything for you, Miss Scarlet! I don't think I got my BFP (a very faint one at that with a FRER) until 12dpo and your low temps are still well above the coverline.

[gumshoegirl007]

Yay for great timing B=GellyBeanGrl! I'm glad your cervix and OPKs ended up cooperating for you.

And, Miss Scarlett, you may want to re-read the FR insert. While it says it tests up to 5 days before your next AF, the accuracy rate so early is only 67%!!! It goes up 10% each day you wait so that 2 days before your next period it's close to 87% accurate. I don't think you're down for the count yet!

AFM, still not sign of of my period and my temps are staying high. So far, so good! I'm pretty tired, but I haven't been sleeping well. Lots of burping and queasiness. I couldn't cook dinner last night so my 12-year-old son made one of two things he could cook for the two of us - Kra.ft Dinner. How cute is that? I know there's lots written about showing and it won't happen for 3 to 4 months, but my body has definitely changed already. Not heavier, just shaped differently. My stomach is harder and my abdomen is rounder. I had a nightmare last night that there were triplets in there. Oh lordy! I just want ONE healthy baby.

11dpo

BFN on FRER, and then a bit of blood when I wiped. I'm going to get a beta today to confirm what I probably already know.

[painefaria]

Scarlett - 10 days is really too early to throw the whole thing away... Please don't lose hope
5g - sorry... hope that it is just a fluke and 11 days is a little early
Amanda - hope that your move goes as smoothly as possible.
Bunny - I would say that you will probably o today. I have that dip right before O and FF usually puts the o date in that low day. If it goes up tomorrow you will know for sure.

[Miss Scarlett]

Thanks for all the hopeful thoughts. I know it is early, I got my BFP last time at 10 dpo, so that's why I chose to start testing today. Also, Im going to be in close proximity with the Pregnant Woman Army this weekend and thought it might be easier to take if I knew I was cooking one.

I certainly haven't given up hope, but I would definitely be more optimistic if my temp would go back up.

FF has my AF day as next Wednesday, but my cycles are never that long, Im estimating Monday or Tuesday.

FiveG-- NO NO NO. Im calling implantation spotting, or a little normal pregnancy spotting. DONT GIVE UP! We are still in it!

[vannienicole]

Sorry for the late late reply. My littles are 3 and 6.5 (7 in sept). I am tracking cycles for now and doing research. I have a few markers to meet health and lifewise before I allow myself to go ahead. Most of them will be met by the end of the year, if not all, so, tentatively, I'll start ICI around thanksgiving or Christmas. I want enough raw data about my cycles before I purchase a thing though.

I spoke with my mom and sister regarding my plan and they were surprisingly on board! That really helps put all my thoughts in perspective. I don't like to be impulsive on the big life decisions, so that's why there is this long delay.

Hey ladies~

AmandaH~ Moving~ UGH!!! And on a hot day too, that's the worst. At least you can have a cold beer at the end of a hard day.

Scarlett~ Sorry about your disappointments, but it's way too early to give up. Implantation dipping, etc. You're still in the running!

5G~ You too! You're in the running if you're only 11 dpo. Keep us posted, but my fingers are still crossed.

AFM~ Move us to WAITING TO KNOW. I had a positive opk this morning and we went up to the doc and he did an ultrasound to see how the follicle looked and said we were good to go and did the insem right then. If this weren't the last vial we have ordered I'd have gone into debt to do another insem tomorrow but it's just not possible. UGH!!! Still, we'll see how this goes and cross our fingers. So off we go again, ladies....

[maxK]

Wow, so much is happening!

gumshoegirl007- Congratulations! You are so lucky to get pregnant so quickly and an inspiration. Wonderful news!



wehrli- Congratulations! I knew you were going to be pregnant! That’s so wonderful!




gellybeangrl- Sending sticky thoughts!

Miss Scarlett and G5: Hang in there ladies!

LibraryLady- Excellent! It looks like we are on the same cycle.

AFM- I had my u/s yesterday and the doc saw two big follicles in my right ovary and two little ones in my left. I’m hoping that my right ovary doesn’t let me down this cycle! They gave me my trigger shot yesterday morning and told me to inseminate today around midnight. This morning I woke with cramps in my right ovary. It feels like I have a baseball there. I took some pain medication and the cramps are subsiding but I think it’s a sign of ovulation. My temp was just starting to drop this am. So, we are going to do one IUI soon and the second IUI later this evening before we go out. Keeping our fingers crossed.

[LibraryLady]

Right on Max!! Lucky you having so many eggs to choose from! I'm glad we're on the wait together. Let's make it count this time!

[BunnyLullabye]

Wow it looks like Max Library and I (anyone else?) may be on almost exactly the same schedule!

AmandaHope sorry to hear about the hot moving day, that sounds miserable! But it'll be so awesome once it's done and you're enjoying your new place!

5G I agree it's way too early to give up hope. It could easily be implantation spotting and dip.

Painefaria thanks for your input, that did make me feel better.

I have a stupid question. Is it possible since I'm on clomid and probably have more than one egg, that I could be ovulating over a span of days instead of all at once?

At this point I'm thinking we should insem tonight...then what, Saturday morning or evening?

[LibraryLady]

Bunny~ Insem all three times if you can. I've been sad I can't do another insem tomorrow, since the more the merrier for sure. Indeed, while we were waiting for the doc to get out of surgery, we overheard nurses talking, and one flipped through a folder and said "Wow, that guy's got GREAT sperm! That's a really high number!" and I just wanted to say 'Give it to me!!! I don't care who he is or what he looks like~ just give it to me!!' So yeah, if you've got it, use it.

[gellybeangrl]

Library & Max5- it looks as if we are on the same cycle. I got a +OPK yesterday, we insemed last night w/2 vials n we will go again tonight w/1 vial. Max I feel you on the ovaries...mine have been cramping n hurting the last 2 days.

MissScarlet- don't give up ... with your perfect timing you r sure to b BFP! :-)

OKAY more later when I don't have to put everything in on the phone...I love 4g, but I like my computer too.

me, me, me count me in I should ovulate tonight/early tomorrow morning. I have been a little crampy today... Ovulation? I don't know, ever since the m/c I have a harder time with "feeling" ovulation. We are planning to insem again tonight and if my temp is not up tomorrow we will talk to the KD about possibly tomorrow afternoon.

[LibraryLady]

Right on! So that's four of us in the wait now? Lordy~ let's hope some of the good luck sticks.

[Miss Scarlett]

Wow sounds like we had a ton of well timed insems in the last few hours! SWIM LITTLE DUDES!!!

I took the afternoon to come and have my hair done....trying to not be SO consumed. I looked at some of my old charts, and actually Sunday or Monday should probably be AF, but I feel like I could start any second. I'm crampy & cranky & bloated....

I went back to look at my "favorite donors" this morning on the bank website, and the two that we would be okay with have plenty of vials available so...at least there is that. I realize that pregnancy symptoms & AF symptoms can be really hard to differentiate, but I'll be very very surprised to see a BFP this cycle.
