Sweetdaughter - If you ever want to chart, most of us use Fertility Friend. They give you a free tutorial on charting when you sign up. But it sort of depends on how obsessive you want to be, lol. I find it really helpful because my cycles are pretty unpredictable and I'd have no clue when I ovulated if I wasn't charting, but some people prefer "low stress mode."

As for obsessiveness, I just bawled through the whole 2 hour LOST finale. And 1) I am not a crier and 2) I haven't watched LOST since the first season and had no idea what was going on most of the time. If I'm not prego, I just turned into a big blubbering mushball overnight for no reason. Adding to the obsessiveness: My boobs HURT. Ouch. I'm going to try not to be ridiculous and test at 8dpo.

Sweetdaughter, if you don't chart how do you how many dpo you are?

Could I please be moved to waiting to O? AF showed this morning.

Total might have been close enough, like 3-4 days before O, or the day after O - 20

That means I have only had good timing with a 3rd of my cycles. Not good. I'm too old to be wasting cycles!
You sound like an overanalyzer like me!! At least you see the problem though. And to think all this money and effort we are spending and all we have to do is BD more...not that we will stop spending all this money and effort though.

Grr. Anyway, I hope I'll feel better tomorrow. No + OPK yet, so I know we have some time.
Maybe the flu will push O to a little later and give you a little more time to get some good BDing in.

good luck ladies! We're gonna get our bfp soon!

I probably won't be testing til 12dpo or not at all this next cycle. But will contuinue temping.
Thought about the instead cups but I'm already doing a couple other things this month. So maybe I will add those next month. I read a post on another forum where someone said they switched to the instead/diva cups during AF and it helped with CM at O time too.

AFM ~ Just sitting here at CD2 sippin my green tea. Going to be more diligent about the green tea. I hardly had any CM last cycle. Also, drank a glass of cran/pom juice this morning. But I was rushing and glanced at the bottle of Ocean Spray and thought that it had grape juice on the ingredient list before cran juice. Tried to look online but didn't see the ingr list. Hopefully, I'm not drinking that stuff to find out it only had a drop of cran juice in it. Also going to start soy tomorrow night. I know I probably shouldn't add that many things to one cycle but I don't think any of them are contradictory.
I really want to get back into yoga too. Lots of TTC stress and stress with in-laws is making me crazy. And I was going regularly for about two months when I got my BFP in Jan. I just got to motivate my butt to get there somehow.

I did not take a test this morning at 8dpo.

I don't need to tell you how that turned out, lol. I'm insane.
post #47 of 157
To all the cycle buddies and others who AF found. I thought I would test this morning at 12DPO since my temp was still up but it was a BFN. My average luteal phase is 10 days but they have varied from 7-12 days in the past year. I have been convinced more than half the time for the past 2 days that my period is about to start and it hasn't showed yet. My temps are a little higher than usual and I think my breasts hurt more than they usually do during my luteal phase. Anyway if AF doesn't show by Thursday I will test again.

WTHamI Fingers crossed for you. I am very hopeful for you this month. Hopefully you will get your BFP in a few days.


Cycle buddies

Sweet.Bee: 13DPO
MelungeonMW: 12DPO
littlest birds: 10DPO

Thanks Melungeon Fingers crossed for you too! I'm going to try and have a little bit of self restraint on the testing and not dip into the stash again until I'm about 12dpo but having a pile of IC tests under the sink isn't helping. I should really try not to get my hopes up since I ovulated on CD45, but my chart has looked so pretty since then and I want to be pregnant SO badly (don't we all!).

Good luck everyone and hugs karmab

I'm now 68 days with no AF... and am not pregnant and am going slightly crazy that this is still technically my first cycle TTC...

I think I stressed myself out of a period, and mine are never shorter than 38 days. I know that if I go 90 days they'll treat me so I'm just trying to relax and not think about it... and actively try to replace thoughts that it's my fault. It's hard though because I'm pretty sure it was my stress and obsess that made it happen. How would I know - it was my first time TTC.

Anyway I am finally temping - that's cool - and I'm getting to know my cervix... less cool and DH and I are BDing every other day consistently. You never know.

I'm spurring you all on in your 2ww - never forget how lucky you are when it comes around regularly. I feel I'm getting a lesson in humility and patience here...

MelungeonMW, I did the same this morning, though at 13DPO, because my temp was still up (usual LP is 12 days). Of course I was punished with a negative test. Soooo, I expect to start a new cycle tomorrow. Boo.

Anyways, I don't think I'm going to temp this cycle, in an effort to relax and de-stress from the ups and downs of my chart. We'll just BD when the EWCM makes an appearance and hope for the best. I probably won't be on the boards so much either.

With that said, could I be moved to the Waitin' and Marinatin' category? I assume that's the ONE chill out lounge, which is where I really need to be right now.

I say this every single cycle when af shows up. I vow I'm not going to temp and I'm not going to come online. And then...I come back about a day later. Stay strong, do what you need to do to clear your head. Sometimes this ttc stuff can be soooo exhausting.

Moved, Sweet.Bee. Hope your chillin' gets you good and knocked up

AFM...I've gotta say, psychosomatic morning sickness sucks even more than actual morning sickness because you still feel like crap and there's no fun prize at the end. So much for chillin'. I need to take up meditation or yoga. Or cagefighting.

I thought the waitin' and marinatin' category was for those using donor insem so after they got insemmed they had to marinate?

Hey

Put me on the 2 Week Wait! My first cycle TTC..

I have 30-34ish cycle days. We bd'd on CDs: 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, and 20 so far. For our first month I just wanted to try n see what happens. After this I'll hunker down n start chartin for real lol

Baby dust to all!

the inseminators never seem to use it, but we are all marinating at some point, no? i like it there because it just seems to fit. and i dont have to ask to move around. if someone wants to rename it- any ideas? the one thread chill out lounge, enter here? hehe.

Golfaddict I find green tea really helps my CM too. I try to drink one cup everyday.

I am not taking ttc serious this cycle nor am I going to expect a bfp. I got really bad strep throat on my birthday of all things. I had sore muscles, fever and the most sore throat I have ever had. I am on abx for 10 days. I am not really in the mood to dtd. Bah! I should O in about 5 days but again, being sick I dont think my body is going to be very fertile.

I just want this cycle over with so I can try soy TBH.

I'm spotting

I really hope this is a little someone burrowing in and not this cycle ending with an 8-day LP. That would really suck.

WTHamI?: Fingers crossed for implantation bleeding for you!

AFM: I've added cranberry juice and soy isos to this cycle (plus temping for the first time). Hubby is scheduled to go for his SA on Sept 7th, but hopefully I'll already be pg by then! Today is my last day of the soy and I can't wait to be done with them. They've made me SO moody and irritable. But if they help, it's totally worth it!

Just heard news from the doctor - my DH had a count done, not so good. While the count was normal, ~44% were morphologically abnormal, giving him borderline fertilization capabilities.

I don't even know what to do now, to help, or make him feel better or improve our situation.
