Hi everyone, I started the September Thread, hopefully everyone will find it.

Please take a moment to post where you are in your cycle, and a little of whats up with you. If you would like me to link a chart or add your name to our members list, just say so.

Thanks
Kat

AFM: 10dpo, BFN. Lots of symtoms, could go either way. Temps still up and steady.

[EllyMayMomma]

Kat - thanks for starting the thread. I was just going to post on August when I saw September! Fingers crossed for you, would be cool if you got the first Sept BFP.

AFM - I think we missed our fertile window. We have some male factor issues and BD really often is not an option. I usually O on cd 18 so we BD on cd 12 in the am. Then on cd 13 I got a pos OPK. Not expecting it until cd 16. DH threw his back out on Tues so we were not able to BD again until early this am. Had a strong thermal shift when I temped today. I know I O'd yesterday. So we BD 4 days apart and O'd on the third day between. I am still going to hope (and pretend a bit) but I know the chances for us are really slim. Soooo disappointed in our timing I just want to cry. I really wanted this to be the month - I have even dreamed twice this week that we had a beautiful new baby girl.

[mija y mijo]

I can't believe I'm actually posting in this thread!!!

I'm on CD11 and on day 2 of EWCM. We did the BD last night without WD!!! I haven't been temping, but plan on starting tomorrow in hopes that I can still catch when I actually O.

I'm 30 and this will make baby #3 for us. So excited (and a little nervous) to be TTC!!! Here's hoping for a successful cycle for all of us!

[Tulpen88]

mija y mijo - Welcome! I have to tell you, my husband loves the terms "mija" and "mijo," so your screen name made me smile.

EllyMay- I think there is definitely a chance for you! First of all, temping isn't an exact science. You could have O'd on Tuesday and then gotten the shift today, you know? So it's possible that your timing was a little closer to O than what you're thinking. Also, it seems like a lot of people get pregnant with that one time 3 or 4 days before O!

Kat - Thanks for starting the new thread! I hope you don't mind doing it. I just didn't think I could do a good job with all the stuff we have going on right now. 10 dpo?! I'll be keeping everything crossed for you!

[Marnica]

Hi

new here (also on the nursing mamas thread). Im 38 and TTC#2. DS is 28 months old. Have been charting for about 5 months. Im currently on CD15 and think O is imminent. Had a kind of + opk this am (first time using opk's and 1/4 of the test line was darker than the control and 3/4 was lighter so Im taking that as a - I think??

[mija y mijo]

Callie - Thanks! My husband's family calls all the children (grown and small) mija or mijo. I've always loved it and it didn't take long for it to rub off and now I use it with my own kids.

I haven't been temping, but plan on starting tomorrow. Do you think it would be too late to figure out when I O? I'm on CD 11 today, and my cycles are typically right around 28 days. Any thoughts?

[myorianna]

Thanks for starting the new thread Kat Maybe this is your month- when do you plan to test?

Welcome mija y mijo and Marnica
Oh and mija, I think its never late to start temping, especially if you are before O.

EllyMayMomma- You never know, at least you got in your window- even one time can do it! There are people I heard who actually try to dtd after O for gender selection (8 hours after feeling the O pain to try for a girl, I think).

AFM- CD8 here so I have a looong way to go. I usually O between CD16 and CD18.

[forthekids123]

Ok I'm trying to stay calm please look at my picture link, the faintest pink line, so faint, not sure about it, but I need imput.

Welcome new ladies I will add you when my heart starts pounding a mile a minute

[mija y mijo]

Kat - the picture is really small, but I think I may see a very faint line to the left. Can you make the photo any bigger?

Hoping it's a BFP!!!!

[forthekids123]

http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/a...Y01001-1-1.jpg

grr it goes away when I make it bigger. Maybe I'm just seeing things. Better go get some digitals for tomorrow fmu. AHHH I can't wait until tomorrow.

I swear though there is something still there and it's faint pink. It's usually blatant white with frer.

[mija y mijo]

Yeah... it's harder to tell with the second picture. Hopefully someone else will chime in soon and see it, too.

[Marnica]

Honestly I *kind of* see it, but the pic is also kind of blurry and a bit pixelated so certainly couldn't say for sure YK?

Hoping a test tomorrow or the next day gives you a more positive result!

[Mama~Love]

Kat - it's so hard to tell, but for you!

Welcome Marnica!

AFM - today is CD 2. Ugh, this is really bad. I hate Provera! The crap we do to ourselves to have a baby. Will start Clomid tomorrow. I really hope I O this time, I can't handle another annovulatory cycle . I'd really feel broken then.

[Tulpen88]

Kat - I think I see something, but it's definitely hard to tell. Keep peeing on things! And don't forget to report back to us!

Mollie - I'm glad the Provera worked though, so at least you are starting a fresh cycle. Did you do any research to see if you could find an RE nearby? It just seems like an RE could be really helpful. I will be praying for you to O this cycle. I hope the Clomid does the job & you get your BFP this cycle. We can take over the June DDC!

AFM - Very negative OPK this morning, so my O is probably still several days away. I'm guessing Sunday, but probably Monday... maybe Tues? I'm happy we'll have the weekend before O. I'll just have to be sure to get DH to come to bed on time while we're at his parents' house. He often stays up late talking to them, and I give in and go to bed earlier b/c I'm too tired.

[Mama~Love]

Callie - I'd LOVE a June baby, because then I'd have kids' birthdays in March, April, May, June, & July! The other 2 are in December - the oddballs . I haven't looked for a RE, but will ask next time I call or see my Dr.

[emski4379]

Kat - FX it's pos! I'll be checking in the a.m. to see if you POAS

Mollie - Hopefully the Provera works and you don't have to take it more than one cycle!

Callie-Give DH a little nudge and a wink while at the IL's. If he's anything like mine, he'll suddenly claim exhaustion and race to bed! lol

AFM-I am 7dpo. Some mild symptoms, but if I wasn't looking for them, I probably wouldn't have noticed. Temp dipped some today. Could be implantation, could be nothing. We'll see I guess.

[forthekids123]

took a digital on afternoon pee BFN, but the my morning test dried into a visible second line. So I don't know, will try in the morning. My jitters have gone, and now I'm more peaceful about it. Trying to keep a zen state of mind, so if I get a bfn tomorrow, I wont get too upset.

[forthekids123]

Marnica: Hope you got your pos opk today. I belive is anypart of the opk is darker then control it is a pos

mija y mijo: Hope you enjoyed your start of temping it takes a while to get.

myorianna:The wait for O is the worst.

Mollie: so sorry you hate the provera, it will be worth it in the end. I'm glad your starting clomid, then you can O and not have a month of waiting and waiting.

Callie: Make sure to tell DH to wake you up at any time of the night.


Emma: good luck hope it was implant dip.

if that is true than I had my positive yesterday morning. I did 2 tests the am one had the partial dark line, the PM one was all lighter than control. the one this am was lighter than control too. We DTD last night and will again tonight. I also got a thermal shift this morning so Im thinking I o'd yesterday so our timing may have been a bit off?? It I did O yesterday that would be much earlier than I usually do (CD18-20). Ive been taking vitex but only for a couple of weeks?? Not really sure what to make of it all!

Hope you get your BFP tomorrow
