cbba: I hope your eggie will be patient and wait until your DH comes home.

cygnit: I see a very faint line.

AFM: Can I please be moved to waiting to know? I'm pretty sure I O'd on CD 12 or 13. I had watery CM on CD 11 and then cramping on CD 12 and 13 and creamy CM today (CD 18). I didn't check on the days between, because I don't want to disturb anything going on in there (because I'm weird like that). I also started breaking out like a teenager around O time. When I wished for my younger body back I did not mean the pimples. I still have some mild cramping on and off. Now I'm just trying to stay patient during this 2ww.

Welcome!!!! And you have every right to be stressed out right now, it doesn't matter how long you have been TTC, its a very stressful process and your feelings are totally valid. Everyone always tells people TTC to relax, but I think that trying to suppress our feelings about whats going on is not helpful either, when I do that they just accumulate and accumulate until everything explodes.

I'm a bit confused looking at your chart... when was your AF?

cygnit - I can't check out your line because that site is blocked at my work, but I hope tomorrow brings a line that everyone can see!

vivica - OMG! I hope it's real! Can't wait for your update tomorrow!

AFM - CD12, about to start temping again and BDing and OPKing. This is always the most fun part of the cycle and for once DH's work schedule doesn't interfere with our BDing so we should be able to have good timing this month!

cygknit: I see a faint line, hope you post another this morning!

Please move me to Waiting to O.

[finsmom]

Welcome back to all those on return from a vacation! Hope the return coincides with some BFP action!

Could I please be moved to 2WW? I ovulated in the middle of my girls weekend away from my husband (boo) so I have little hope for any 2 day old "boys" that were hangin out up there. I suppose there is a chance, but  not too realistic. I started taking Endometrin just in case. 

[SilaMarila]

I'm jealous of all of you that are getting to see HP! Hopefully my midnight movie days are just on hold for a few years! Someone dress up for me (yeah I'm one those people).

cygnit - I saw it! I'm here for an update! 

RenoKirbyButtrs - Yes, a few questions for you. Are you coming off an annovulatory cycle? Or did you start your chart in the middle of a cycle? I also noticed your temps are very low and very close to your pre O temps (though there still seems to be an obvious shift). Do you have any other charts to compare to? Is your thermometer new or have you checked the batter lately (this was happening to me once and it was a thermometer issue)? I do not mean to scare you at all, but do you have any symptoms of Hypothyroidism? I have not seen very many charts like yours so I'm interested 

AFM - I had a very positive Dr. experience yesterday (Gastroenterologist) and am encouraged that we might be getting somewhere! He has some ideas about what might be going on, but needs to look inside  and as soon as possible. So next Tuesday I'm scheduled for an endoscopy with biopsy. Because I would be sedated for the procedure, I immediately brought up the fact that I could be pregnant but I would be very early to tell. He no questions asked (like when was my last period date?, how do I know I ovulated, blah) filled out a lab form for me to get a blood test the morning before. I'll be 9DPO. I'm so relieved and feel comfortable about this. Of course there is still the chance that there could be something there and it hasn't implanted by then. But after talking with the Dr, his nurses, and Dr. Google, if there wasn't a blood connection yet there should be no effect. It's hard because while I really want to do all of these tests and get this issue resolved in order for a healthy pregnancy, I don't want to harm a pregnancy that might already be happening. I also feel like the stress of wanting to test is gone now. If the blood test is negative, I just wait for AF. I know my Drs and maybe even some of you guys think maybe we should just put off TTC until this is figured out but this is the decision we've made for now. Oh, and I got my first FF crosshairs today! Sorry for last night's freak out! My cervix is low and closed now and no CM. I'm still in shock and am hesitant and expect my temp to plummet any day. I think I might take a few days off...

[Stevi]

Tantylynn...   Check into other schools in your area for the class your DH needs, also see if those who offer it will allow the other classes to be taken at the same time. You can also check online schools and see if any of those offer just the needed class, they cost more, but it will put him at only a semester bnehind instead of a year. I would suggest summer classes, but I think it is too late for most of those. Though he could possibly use next summer to catch up a bit.

sila~still cramping when i spotted i was 6 days away from my period dont know whats going on they said u implantation a week before ur period ??/ but yet i dont know if this could be ovulation i counted 14days back and i got 5th is my ovulation date so is this implantation ??

[honesti]

sila-ps i get my period on the 17th or the 18th every - month? 

[cygknit]

Updated to here!

Vivica,. Whee!! I can't wait to find out! How long is your LP, usually?

Souirire, that was very well said. While people try to mean well with a statement like "relax" it never seems to actually help, it only makes things worse.

Gemmine, I am looking forward to your next cycle. I'm still angry for you that your last one couldn't get off the ground.

Finsmom, that stinks! I hope it's a fertile month for those swimmers!

Sila, that's great news! I was so stinkin' curious last night but didn't want to push you. On the medical stuff, SO and I still TTC #1 while I was waiting for first one, then a second surgery on an unrelated thing. I knew I shouldn't, but how do you not?? I know it was a different situation but when I did get pg before the second I was just monitored by the doctors and it all worked out with supervision.

AFM, there's another, slightly more red,  line today. I'm going crazy, unsure if I should believe it. I didn't even show SO, he'd have not believed it. I've taken a dozen pics and keep looking at them all day. I'm out of the 10 miu tests and plan to run out for some DT ones, but the DTs are 20 miu, so I'm not sure what to think. It's funny, whenever I've seen a faint line on someone else's tests I  tell myself how silly it is, there's clearly a line! Clearly, this is karma ;)

I'm so sorry, I'm still confused. So on your chart is CD1-5 really your period? Because the only days I see spotting on are 4 and 5 which were before FF thinks you ovulated. From what I understand implantation generally happens between 7-10 DPO but can happen earlier/later (3-14DPO). Implantation bleeding is caused by the egg burrowing into the uterine lining and usually starts out bright red and then turns more brown as the lining seals back up again. This all from books/posts I have read, I have no personal implantation bleeding experience. Maybe someone that does will chime in.

[cygknit]

I'm confused, too. What was the first day of your last period?

Sila: I'll be interested to know your results. I'm hoping for a perfect implantation 7DPO for you so you may get a + on your test day :-)

Stevi and tantylynn: I was going to suggest the same as Stevi but then I thought your DH might be under a residency requirement if he's this far along in his degree. It's worth checking into though, does he have an academic advisor he is in contact with? 

cygknit: I am doing as excited a jig as I can muster up with these cramps for you! You should get a FRER test. When is AF due, you think? I'm mad I didn't really get a chance to try last cycle, but this cycle I'm on it! DH is starting school next month so this could be our last cycle to really try for repeat BD sessions back to back.

[remark71]

Vivca:  I hope that it was a line that you saw and it only gets darker from here.  Good Luck.

Cygknit:  I hope that the line get darker everytime you test.  Good Luck.

AFM:  nothing new to report on CD8. 

Good luck to everyone

[justKate]

cygknit, I saw your line. Hopefully you get a more obvious positive with the blood test.

viv, chart stalking and I saw you recorded a BFN. Maybe it will become something more?  Fingers crossed for you!

[BubbleMa]

How exciting!  I can't wait to see some more BFPs!  :D

[SilaMarila]

cygknit - Thank you for the peace of mind! Go get a FRER lady! Wouldn't it be awesome if you conceived due to your post-office outing  That was you right?
