My temp plummeted today... pretty sure I'm out Trying not to get too depressed....

[bonadl2]

swimmingduck --- AWESOME looking chart!!!

Lydiah and Yellowdart -- I hope you two are feeling better soon. I love the fall but I hate the cold/flu season it brings with it. Hopefully you're back on your feet with no fertilty effects in no time!

Attached2Elijah - for AF's potential impending arrival. A huge temp drop like that is the WORST.

AFM: 12 DPO today (anyone else out there at 12 DPO and still "in the game"?) and I am really really trying not to get my hopes up here. FF says AF should be here tomorrow at 13 DPO (in my 2 months of tracking my LP has been 12 or 13 days). Well, typically my temp would start to drop the day before AF, but today it went up 0.2 degrees -- but, I'm trying not to get my hopes up because FF could be wrong and my LP could be 13 days which would mean I've got two days to go before AF arrives and temp would start to drop tomorrow not today. But, it's hard not to get excited with a chart that looks like mine does, with a temp rise at 12 dpo. *sigh* Especially b/c (as i've mentioned before) I really thought I was out with my potentially mis-timed BDing and UTI during O with antibiotics. Trying to hold out until tomorrow or Thursday to test. I really hate BFN's and the disappointment that comes with them.

Anyone want to stalk my chart?? Any interpretations (good or bad) are welcome...

[ValH]

Sarah2881 - I guess I'll defer to FF on my O date, so that means I'm 5dpo. I'm going to try not to test until around 13dpo, but we'll see if I can make it that long! My temp isn't great this cycle, so unless my chart starts looking better, I should be able to make it. When do you think you'll be testing?

Attached2Elijah - about the temp drop!

bonadl2 - I just checked out your chart, and it looks fantastic! Good luck! I'll keep stalking to see what the outcome is!

AFM - I'm five (or six) dpo. I had some cramps yesterday, not sure what's going on with that. Nothing else to report.

Good luck to all!

[swimming-duck]

Attached2Elijah - Sorry about the temp drop.

Bonadl - I think your chart looks really good, especially when compared to the last two charts on your homepage.

AFM: Darn blue dye test. I bought some cheapies so that I could save my FRER to confirm pregnancy and the only cheaper ones I could get were all blue dye. I got the slightest hint of a line, but I think it was an evap line. I thought I saw a bit of blue at the top edge of the line. BAH - I'm only 9dpo. What am I doing testing now anyways? I guess I'm going to try to hold out a few more days and retest. We'll see how that goes. Temp is still up, so I'm optimistic.

Tried to talk to OH just now about moving the TTC date a little bit. NOT for me, for actual LOGIC. I'm going to school to be a teacher. School starts in September. If we try in January that lands us at LEAST September/October and since I want to keep LO out of daycare for the 1st year I wouldn't be able to start teaching until at least Sept/October. Oh, too bad because SCHOOL WOULD HAVE ALREADY STARTED!!!! So that means that I will wait for ANOTHER year. This wouldn't be a problem if we moved our date back just a few months ffs!! Then LO would be 1 sometime BEFORE the school year starts and we could have that whole extra year's salary and benefits. (I don't want to start my career then have to take off a year later. Who the hell would keep me on??)

But no, OH made up his mind that he isn't changing his date. Did that stop him from letting me go on, getting my hopes up all the way? Of course not! Why would he do that?

So here we are: yet another round of crying. What a morning. I'm still sick so I feel enough like crap. This sure as shit isn't helping it any.

[Sourire]

sleepingbeauty -
I know how you feel, its so tough waiting. I wanted to start TTC in summer 2008... waiting until DH was ready was a VERY long 2 years. I am so happy to be actively trying now! Your time will come...

[bonadl2]

sleeping beauty

So sorry hon -- Sadly enough I think most of us have been there at some point in time. I try to tell myself that there is a reason for everything...maybe for some reason you're not supposed to TTC quite yet. I know it's not really a consolation, but as I'm sure you know, you both have to be ready.

[Stevi]

SleepingBeauty... Ouch! And I thought I had menstrual troubles when I was younger. I hope the doctors find something that works.

As for having to wait, I'm so sorry. I hope you get to start earlier. I had to wait until I was 36 1/2, I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

AAM... No blood yet, but still some crampiness. Seems less than yesterday, though.

[Stevi]

Everybody think Fertile Thoughts!

[sarah2881]

Attached2Elijah - I am sorry about the temp drop

bonadl2 - you chart looks great!
Swimming duck -
I hope you two kick off a log string of BFPs!!!

ValH - I will probably test on Friday (9dpo) even though it will likely be too early. Then wait until Monday. I do want to know as early as possible, I usually do a nice long run on Saturday mornings, but if I did get a BFP prior I would lighten up the workout a bit.

Sleepingbeauty - I am sorry that you and OH are not on the same page. That is very hard

Stevi - I hope AF stays away and that the antibiotics did not cause any trouble this time.

AFM - 6dpo. Felt really sick when I woke up and on my run, but feel fine now. Still have ovary pains, but they don't seem to be as intense. Nothing much else. I had super vivid dreams two night ago, but none last night, I slept like a rock!

[Gator-mom]

Attached2Elijah- That is a bummer..I guess it's not officially over until you know who show's her face, but that's not what we like to see!

I hope we are still yet to see some BFP's this week!

Sleepingbeauty- That is really frustrating. I have also had many frustrating convo's with my Dh over this topic. And I totally get the timing issue. I have the same problem. I have one more try this month for a doable window, and then I will have to wait a minimum of 1 year, and 2 if I want to be responsible and wait until I have a job settled in!

AFM: Just been lurking around here trying to see if anyone is giving good news yet! I am on CD8, so just waiting around for the next BD session. I'm at least on Fall break this week so I will be able to bring my stress down before my last big try!

[MountainMamaGC]

Thanks for the well wishes everybody. I feel worse today and my DD woke up with an ear infection last night. I put some garlic oil in her ear and she seems to feel better today. I cancelled her swimming lesson just to be safe.

I have no symptoms today. I am ok with that.

Cycle buddies

[bonadl2]

You guys have quite the list of cycle buddies!!! I am looking forward to seeing some BFP's later this week!!!! Especially from those of you on a TTC schedule!

Thanks sarah2881, ValH and swimmingduck!

I am so distracted/anxious and can't wait for tomorrow morning to come around so I can temp again, hahahaha. This little temp jump is such a tease. I can't really believe I've held out this long on testing. If my temp is still up tomorrow I'll test with an IC at 13DPO.

[LivingSky]

bonadl2: Yep, I'm puttering along with you 12DPO today as well. I did cave and test early, BFN of course, so now I'm waiting til Thursday. AF is due to arrive for me on Thursday (I have a 13 day LP every month consistently) and Thursday is DH's birthday. So I'm hoping that his birthday present will be a BFP and AF not arriving! LOL

[LivingSky]

Oh, and my actual AFM: I have had cramps almost every day since O, very unusual for me. I usually have one day of cramps a month, on CD2. And my bbs HURT. Not even moving yesterday and they were hurting. I never get tender breasts around AF, so it's kind of freaking me out. I would be pretty excited/hopeful if not for my BFNs on dpo 9/10/11. So I'm trying to ignore my symptoms and go on with life. I have a job interview today, so trying to focus on that instead

ETA: Also, my chart is all over the place due to completely inconsistent wake up times. I think I'm driving FF nuts I wake up at 5am, 6am, 6:30am, or 7:30am depending on DH's work schedule, so FF can never even figure out what time is my 'normal' wakeup time.

[ValH]

swimming-duck - I hope you get a BFP soon on a non-blue dye test. Those things are evil! Good luck!

sleepingbeauty - So sorry that you and OH aren't seeing eye-to-eye. I hope that your day gets better!

Stevi & Attached2Elijah - Hopefully AF will stay away for both of you!

To those that are testing later this week (sarah2881, LivingSky, bonadl2, and anyone else I missed), good luck!!! Hopefully we'll have a BFP explosion later this week!

AFM - I'm having cramps again today, very similar to AF cramps but milder. I keep expecting to see spotting any second now, but nothing so far. I'm only 5 (or 6) dpo. With being sick and on antibiotics this cycle, I wouldn't be suprirsed by anything right now.

I almost wish I had tested this morning...I am so anxious to find out now. I really cannot stand it. I really do feel like this is it, but at the same time I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But...I "feel" pregnant. My bbs feel sore and they feel big (even though they aren't bigger). I am randomly gassy this afternoon too...without eating anything out of the ordinary. And even though I'm trying not to get my hopes up, I am now totally emotionally invested and expecting a BFP. My temp better not drop tomorrow!!!

Your chart looks good so far!!! I'll definitely be stalking tomorrow to see what your temps do!!!

And I totally hear you about having symptoms that you don't usually have before AF...

[Sourire]

I'm so excited, I'm on CD9 and AF is over! It's been a while since AF ended this early. I think the acupuncture and/or B6 may be helping!

Now I'm wondering whether I will O earlier as well... on the one hand that would be good because I don't have to wait as long, but on the other hand DH and I will be staying at my mom's place from Thursday to Sunday (along with my 2 sisters and my sister's bf) so it will be tough to get any BDing in, I doubt we will have much privacy!

The next week or 2 should be interesting

[Stevi]

ValH... You and I seem to be in similar boats.

Sourire... I credit the B6 (mine is a B Complex) as partly responsible for my first BFP!!! I hope you get to do the same thing.
