OK, I think I did that right...

Please let me know if you'd like to be moved!

[bonadl2]

Thanks for starting the new thread Calycanth!

I accidentally posted on last week's thread so I'm reposting here...

Happy Sunday everyone...

Anyone want to stalk my chart??? 11 DPO and a big temp jump today (see my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/30520e). Looks like I had a bit of a temp jump last month at 11dpo too, but not so big of a jump. I guess we'll see if it stays up tomorrow or starts dropping in preparation for AF. Still holding off on testing for fear of a BFN...but the temp jump has me anxious. Also still feeling really tired again today...the last few days I've been feeling like I'm coming down with something -- tired (well, exhausted really) and congested, but it isn't turning into anything. Only time will tell, but I really haven't been having many symptoms so who knows. I am telling myself I'm not preggo to brace for the disappointment of AF finding me...

[LivingSky]

Thanks for the new thread Calycanth!

bonadl2: I definitely agree your temp jump is more significant this month. I understand trying not to get excited in case of a letdown, but I'm going to get excited for you You're definitely stronger willed than I am about testing!

AFM: Tomorrow is 10DPO and I'm going to test in the morning. I had tons of symptoms up until 7DPO and now everything seems to have stopped! I'm still fatigued, but that's about it. I slept like a log last night after 3 nights of insomnia.

[MountainMamaGC]

Thanks for the new thread.

I tested this morning. 14 DPO and BFN. I am still queasy, but crampy too. AF should be here today. Boo.

[GolfAddict]

Please move me to waiting to know

But I'm not sure how many DPO I am - either 3DPO or 5DPO. Advanced method gives me CD16, FAM gives me CD11, and Research method gives me CD18. I tend to lean toward CD18 since I got another peak on Ovacue.

What do you guys think?

[littlest birds]

GolfAddict, I think cd16 because of the HSO cervix/EWCM timing along with the temps. No way CD11. Cd18 less likely by far but possible.

BTW I am your cycle buddy--I actually did O thursday so I am 3dpo now and KMFX while trying not to bother obsessing...

[WTHamI?]

Thanks for the new thread, Calycanth!

Bonadl2, your chart looks great! Fingers crossed for you!

Was it someone on this list that was talking about the giving birth to cats dream? I just had that and it was really really weird. It was even weirder because it was my cat that I already have that shrunk down to a baby size, that I then gave birth to and was nursing. I was also a teen mom (ppft!) and the whole town was shunning me so I was living in a hovel. The cast from Lost was also there. What in the world?
In other news, at 8dpo. I thought being at work during the week made time crawl, it's got nothing on the 2WW

I had the kitten dream all the time when I was pregnant with DD.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but can someone tell me what it means if you're in the "Waitin' and Marinatin'" category?

I think originally it was for people doing donor insem./IUI but it's currently being used by people who are still TTC but tired of stressing and trying to be very zen about it.

Versus people like me who are content to continue obsessing for now.

Hi everyone, about 9 DPO now, I've taken waaaay too many tests, all BFN.

We're not ready for this yet (it's been maybe 3 or 4 months) but what I want to know for my own peace of mind is how long do you try before it's time to go to the doctor and have more tests done, etc and they really worry there's a problem?

If you are under 35 with fairly regular cycles they typically say to try a year before seeing a doctor. If you are over 35 they say 6 months.

Each cycle gives you a 20% chance of getting pregnant, even if everything was timed perfectly and you are both healthy.

I am still waiting for AF. I hope she comes soon so I can give up all hope for this cycle. The longer she takes the more cranky I get. I still have IPS inspite of that BFN and I know it will stop as soon as AF shows.

Bfp bfp bfp!! Heading to the doc tomorrow for beta test. Wild wild ride... I'll post more tomorrow! Baby dust to all!!

[Sourire]

Hi ladies, I'd like to join this thread.

I am on my 2nd cycle TTC and currently waiting to O - here's my chart.

My AF is ridiculously long... I am currently on my 9th consecutive day of spotting/bleeding with at least 3 more days to go. I can't wait to not have to deal with AF anymore!

On the bright side, I was able to enjoy a glass of wine with lunch today which is something I missed during the TWW last cycle

[MountainMamaGC]

Congrats annaconda!

Yes! This!

I got a positive on Friday and then bleeding/spotting yesterday so I think I'm having yet another (early) miscarriage. A little bit more spotting today but nothing huge. I'm so bummed. At least it's early and I'm not going on and on for weeks, right? I guess we'll see what happens. I wish I knew what was up with me. 3 miscarriages in a row has me scratching my head. Funny that before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism I carried many babies to term. Now that I"m supposedly healthier I keep having miscarriages.
