7DPO here, and am very, very cautiously optomistic. This is when I started spotting last cycle, with full-blown AF two days later so the fact I haven't started bleeding yet makes me happy.

I also had a really pretty temp jump this morning. DH got up early to help out at a pancake breakfast at our church this morning so I temped then, and was so excited about the rise I had to get up and plug it into FF right away. LOL. My chart here: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2a6a78

I know one temp doesn't mean much.... but like I said I am being very cautiously optomistic.

Last cycle my bleeding started after we DTD, so I told DH that I was going to hold out for a few days, just in case. I know it was probably just coincidence, but my LP needs all the help it can get so I figure abstaining for a few days isn't going to hurt anything. Except for maybe DH. Poor guy.

I also managed to get my hands on some cheapy tests yesterday. None of the dollar stores near me have them, but yesterday we were in the city and just happened to drive by a Dollarama and I made DH stop so I could pick some up. $1.25 a test!!! That is just nuts. He couldn't figure out why I wanted to go to a dollar store so badly, but understood once I explained how much HPTs are at the drug store. Now they are taunting me.... I will probably POAS tomorrow morning if I don't start bleeding in the mean time.

10 dpo and bfn on a FRER. Hate that. A FRER seems so...final! Ah well...happy thoughts and fx for everyone!

I've also been sick, I was thinking my temps would chill out once I wasn't on antibiotics and all that anymore, but it seems like maybe not. I feel like I move around quite a bit before I actually wake up all the way too, I often hit snooze in my sleep before I'm really aware of it. Maybe I should temp vaginally? Would I get more accurate temps that way even though I sleep like a spazz?

I don't really think you've ovulated yet either. I would definitely try temping vaginally and see if that makes a difference. 95.85 is crazy low - I get that low orally sometimes since I'm a mouth breather but never that low vaginally so it wouldn't surprise me at all if that smoothed out your temps at least a little.

i'm fairly certain i can be moved to the TWW, thanks.

Well, FF gave me my crosshairs today! Even though I temped an hour and a half early. DH is on shift work and his shift for the next few weeks means we're waking up at 5 instead of 7. I was just planning to start temping at the new wake-up time - does that seem reasonable to you guys? Then at least it will be consistent again for the next 2-3 weeks. Ahhh, the fun of a partner on shift work.

Anyways, 3 DPO! I'm vowing to not test until Friday the 17th - 14 DPO. Now let's see if I can actually make it that long without caving

Mine get itchy sometimes. No idea why. But who knows? It could be a symptom in your case! (I hope it is!)

If I don't let my emotions play out, if I try to ignore them or push them away or say I'm acting "silly" i'm a grump for days. For me at least it's better just to feel it, and then move on.

So sorry, sweetie.

I cry too. Not so much since on the pill (unless it's an "oops" month...then I get a little upset) but pre-pill I cried every cycle. Like, really cry. The way Stevi puts it is exactly what I feel like.

AFM--I'm coming off the pill ASAP. I can't take it anymore. It makes me sick at the beginning of EVERY round and whenever I'm a tiny bit hungry. I have an appt with the GYN in November and will be discussing it with her then. Thing is, I take it for pain relief. I'm scared to come off it. I have some Naproxin Sodium that I take for added help but I don't know if that would be enough. I'll see what she says. Seems that hormonal BC is not my thing. As you ladies know, I've been a wreak for the entire almost-2 years I've been on it. Ugh.

Also, OH and I have been together for 2 years and 1 day. Our anniversary was yesterday!...but we spent it in the hospital because I tore a muscle in my tummy when I stretched as I woke up yesterday. Pain, IV insertion, more pain, CT contrast that tasted like cran-apple-flavored BUTT, CT, diagnosis, home. 4:30pm-9:30pm. Good stuff.

We're doing a re-do today or tomorrow. Oops.

Oh - can I please be moved to 2ww

Is it time to start a new thread? Two days ago? I could take it for a week if no one else wants to

[outsideofthebox]

Yesterday I was standing by the counter and thought the smell of the bananas were overwhelming. We went to my aunts for a family swim and the smell of the soil was hitting me.
I have been testing every morning (not due to start until the 10-13th but I have been testing anyway.

Well this morning I got a faint line!!! So BFP for me.

The past couple of mornings I was seeing the evap line but this morning there was actually a line. YAY!

Congrats outsideofthebox!!

And thanks to all who validated my tears with AF. I wish I could be as zen as my sister and husband who say it'll happen when it's supposed to happen.
