[Mummoth]

Thanks for putting the new thread up! 

[BubbleMa]

Thanks for starting the new thread cbaa2010, I can't wait to see your BFP.  ;) 

[Gemmine]

Hey ladies! Can't wait to see all the Waiting to Know results! insidevoice, check in and update us!!

[SithLadyFred]

I think I'm at the 2ww now, if you don't mind adding me!

[Stevi]

InsideVoice...   Where are you in your cycle? That looks like a 8-9dpo BFP!!!!

I don't recall who said it, but when did the average LP change from 10-14 days to 10-16 days?

[insidevoice]

I'm 7 dpo, so it's incredibly early. 

I'm just going to try to wait.  Very impatiently. 

[Sourire]

cbaa - thanks for the new thread!

Mummoth... congrats!!! Have you taken any more tests since then? What does FF give you as a due date?

Insidevoice... I can't wait to see what happens next!

Can you move me to Waiting to know? I have absolutely no data to confirm when I am Oing this month but since I usually O on CD17 and that was yesterday, I'll just pretend I already O'd! Yesterday was also my only BD during the fertile period... wouldn't it be awesome if my baby was conceived on my birthday? If I get pregnant this month my due date will be December 24th hahaha.... and we were really trying to avoid a Christmas baby!

Also I noticed that my chart is no longer on the front page, can you add my chart? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2d1bce

[Shelley71]

cbaa: Thanks for the thread!

Insidevoice: Keep us updated! I saw a faint line too!

Sourire: I'm with you. I'd rather not have a baby during Christmas/New Year's, BUT at 40, I'll take whatever I can get!

AFM: Still waiting to O. CD10 here, and I got a teensy faint line on the CBFM stick today. Monitor still says low though. I also forgot to temp this morning, but I was up and down ALL night, sleepless, so it wouldn't have been a good one anyway.

Question: I have never noticed CM other than creamy as I look back on all my years of cycles. I am going to pay special attention this time though. I keep reading online and on message boards, that pink grapefruit juice and/or Evening Primrose Oil are excellent natural CM boosters. I don't really want to use Preseed, but I would definitely try something natural. Does anyone have any experience with either of these?

[fnpmama]

Can I join in? We just started TTC this month,  I had been charting to avoid the past 2 years.  Anyway my temps & CM are all over the place this cycle.

I think I am now definitely in the 2WW, but not sure if I am 3 DPO or 10.  Here is my FF chart.  Chart Stalkers I need your help.

UPDATED TO HERE

(i think)- I'm not sure what was wrong with some of the chart links not being added, but I went back through last month and i think I fixed everyone. Let me know if there are any other changes- Also, I usually check in from my phone so I can only make changes at the end of every day or every other day, so I'll let you know when I've updated from my laptop so nobody gets worried I forgot them, PM me if I update and miss something!

I still had the faintest greyish tan CM this morning, seems very similar to all the spotting I had after O last month but not nearly as much or as dark (last month it was like dark brown to almost deep red and lasted very noticably until 7dpo), but it is barely noticable (and prob not at all noticable if I were not checking CP) and stopped the afternoon of 2dpo until the afternoon of 4dpo and then came back again. I know, it is a long shot, but I'm trying to stay hopeful until AF comes, even though my bfn yesterday is still keeping me grounded. Case and point why they say not to test that early, right.

insidevoice- when will you test again, I'm not sure if my HPT showed anything other than stark white I would be able to keep myself from peeing on anything in sight until I had a better answer!

sourire- I didn't want a Christmas baby either, but feeling the let down of a single line on an HPT makes me want a BFP any time, any day, for any due date!

stevi- any update from you today?

bubblema- I hope to have a BFP for you next week, but I'll be happy with one in April or May if that is how long it takes, my fertile period will be over Easter Weekend, a more adult version of an Egg Hunt at my house!

fnpmama- got you! Welcome- I'm not sure on the DPO, compared to last month I'd say prob 3dpo, but you will probably need some more time to tell. Do you know from the past 2 years of TTA when your regular O is?

[Shelley71]

Fnpmama: Welcome to the thread! This is my second cycle TTC, but last month was just trial and error, really. I learned all the charting, etc. last month mid-way through. So, this month I'm doing it all by the book from the get go!

Good luck to you!

[belacmsage]

I would like to join! I found this thread last week and have been catching up on all the posts. I know some of the women from the TTC in our 20s thread too. Right now I am at day 12 and waiting to O which will be over our 1 year anniversary weekend most likely. Hopefully that will led to a BFP or we will have to wait a little more than a year to try again since I am going back to school to get my MA in teaching. 

[Mummoth]

Sourire~ no just the one! I have another one, but I don't want to pee on it. I think I'll give it to my sister  My due date is December 11th, but my kids both came before they were due, so I would be surprised if I went that long. 

SithLadyFred~ Welcome! I like your username :)

fnpmama~ Hi to you too!

CBAA, inside voice~ I've got my fingers crossed for you! And everyone else in the 2WW :D

Nothing that I'm willing to put in writing...

As for Christmas babies, I would love to have a Christmas baby! I think having a baby would be the best Christmas present ever! My mother's birthday was December 6th, and she hated it. I have considered having half-birthdays in the summer, so the child doesn't miss out on presents, etc... That or I'll celebrate their day of conception. Heh heh heh.

If I had gotten a line at 7dpo, I'd be testing every morning!! Wow!!!!

 

[tantylynn]

Thank you for the new thread!

Stevi That was me! This is where I got it from: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Short-luteal-phase.html

Insidevoice We're all impatiently waiting with you!!

Welcome fnpmama!

It'll be good to see you around here as well as TTC in our 20s, Bela!

AFM, I found this yesterday and I'm trying trying trying not to get carried away with high hopes:

The purple is my cycle and green is a gallery chart. She also had PCOS, was on no meds and had no EWCM. She got a BFP at 16DPO.

But I need help please! This morning DH accidentally woke me up an hour before my normal temp time but after a solid night's sleep. I temped and it was 97.52 (same as day before), then I re-temped an hour later at my normal time after falling back asleep and my temp was 97.34 (slight drop). When I enter the lower temp/right time in FF it keeps my chart the same. When I enter the higher temp/earlier time it changes my O from CD11 to CD18. WTF!? Which do I do?

[Stevi]

Tantylynn...   Hmmm, I would say the earlier temp is more reliable, but I wouldn't like the effect it had on FF. Maybe it's your CM throwing FF off? What do you consider Creamy, and what do you consider Sticky?

BTW, thanks for clearing up the LP thing. When I really got into charting back in 2008, everything said 10-14 days. Wierd how things change. I did a Google and it now comes up with both 10-14 and 10-16.

[BubbleMa]

Stevi, I would love a Christmas baby too.  Plus, SO's bday is in December.  :)

[insidevoice]

I am a Christmas baby, and I actually like it.  If I did manage to become pregnant this time, I will probably have a baby right around Christmas/New Years.  I would be due earlier, but I go 42-44 weeks.
