Baby dust to everyone this week! 

[jeslynn]

Thank you for the new thread, MeredithA!

MeredithA and Gemmine - I am 6 DPO today. I've been testing for awhile now because I have no self control, lol. But my next test will be on Tuesday which happens to be our wedding anniversary! So I'm hoping that will be lucky!

Sending dust to all!! <3

[toothfairy2be]

Thank you for the new thread & for moving me MeredithA!!!

Gemmine- I hope the +OPK turns into a BFP- seems good that the temp has stayed up!

4 dpo here I was up late last night and would like to go back to bed!

[belacmsage]

Gemmine: Hoping you get a BFP soon! Your chart is looking good!

[MOMMYSINCE2008]

THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD MEREDITH!

OH AND THANKS FOR MOVING ME TWO THE 2WW! YOURE AWESOME!

I JUST TOOK ANOTHER OPK TEST AND ITS NEGATIVE. NOW WHAT DO I DO?

[MOMMYSINCE2008]

HEY MEREDITH, WHY IS IT WHEN I CLICK TO SEE YOUR CHART IT BRINGS ME TO MINE?

[MeredithA]

haha I don't know! MommySince2008, I am really terrible at computer stuff so I thought I might have done the link wrong, but when I click on it, it brings me to mine....perhaps because I'm already logged in on FF? How are your girls feeling today? Oh, and as for your negative opk, - I think the reason for that is because you already ovulated. You said you had a temp increase after getting positive opks right? I think that temp shift happens after O. So, I hope you already had a nice sextravaganza & caught the egg a few days ago. I'm really really hoping this is the month for you! 

Crunchberrie ~ a BFP would be such a perfect anniversary gift! I can't wait to hear about the test on Tuesday!

AFM, AF finally seemed to end for real this time and DH is committed to his idea of BD every single day so regardless of how my temps or CM are, August is going to be, er, busy for me 

[MOMMYSINCE2008]

OK LADIES HERE IS MY CHART, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[CDsMom1031]

Gemmine- Weirddd, because you know I only have awesome experiences (Personal and not) with getting +OPKs before +HPTs. What kind of HPT did you take? It was a good solid 24 hours in-between my +OPK and my +HPT... ... ...

[Stevi]

MOMMYSINCE2008...   How long are your cycles normally?

Gemmine...   Toes crossed for you here in Sin City!!!

AAM...   It appears I am to be kept very "in the loop" with my teenage friends' pregnancy. I got to be there when she told him, and I cannot tell you how proud I am of him. He said absolutely everything right! He wants to keep the baby (so does she), he talked about giving her money to help support their baby, and even said he wants to marry before the baby is born.

I wish this young man came in my size... LOL

[MOMMYSINCE2008]

stevi- my cycles range from 27 to 28 days. 

[arbybee]

Here's to a lucky week for all!

I have one test in the closet and I am SERIOUSLY doing my best to wait and take it on Thursday. My temps are higher than ever this LP though! I don't even really know if that means anything!

[Gemmine]

Temp crashed today :-( I guess if I see ANY temp drop on 11DPO, even if it's still "high" I should take that as my sign. AF should be here in the next few days. I'm learning more and more about my cycles which is a good thing. Even though we had 3 BDs in the fertile window, it was the 3 days before O and I need to try to aim for 3 days INCLUDING O day. I'm wondering if the sperm aren't surviving long because I don't get fertile CF. Gonna pick up some evening primrose oil to try this cycle.

Stevi: I'm glad to hear his response! How are you doing in your cycle? Any updates from the possible donor?

arby your temps ARE super high! Chart looks good! Looks like you had a 10 day LP last cycle so you should know something in a couple of days! Are you having any symptoms?

[SilaMarila]

Thanks for the new thread!

Gemmine - Hmm. Definitely aim for your peak day. I have had luck with EPRO. I hope it does the trick for you. Have you ever tried BDing on the day of your temp shift? Maybe your egg is viable longer than you think and you are missing it? If you are going to BD 3 days, day before O day, Oday, and day your temp goes up would give you pretty high chances. Major bummer though 

MommySince2008 - I hope your kids are feeling better this week and you get a chance to rest and "catch" up. Good luck with your 2ww!

Stevi - Thanks for the update! I was just thinking yesterday how that whole situation was going. So glad to hear they are both taking responsibility. 

Arbybee - Lookin good! Hold out a few more days!

AFM - My temp shot up almost 1 degree! And I got one of those weird "half positive" opks...

[casmer]

Could I be moved to waiting to know? I'm 95% sure this is not our  month as DH and I were both super stressed during my fertile period and we also had overnight visitors.  Anyhow, I resigned from my job today, so starting September 1 I'll be a stay at home wife.  I'm kinda nervous about up and quitting, but DH said "we need to get you out of there" so I'm already feeling relieved.  Come on August 31!

[SKJ2011]

Thanks for the new thread MeredithA.

Gemmine  - .  I hope the EPO helps next cycle.  

Arby - your chart looks great.  Fingers crossed.

AFM, I'm 3 DPO.  I really think I O'ed on Saturday though.  I had lots of EWCM, though could have been semen, and then it dried up in the evening.  But, my temp was up that day.  I'm hoping that we BD'ed enough.  It was either on O-2 and O-1 or O-1 and O day.  I started using NPC yesterday.  I'm hoping it lengthens my LP.  I have been having some twinges/cramping/sharp lower abdominal pain today.  I don't feel too hopeful about this cycle though.  I'm not sure if that's to temper the potential disappointment or not.  In any event, I'm doing my best to live in the moment and not get my hopes too high.  Ah the TWW, you are my foe!

[RenoKirbyButtrs]

Meredith, thanks for the new thread!

I've been quietly lurking and chart-stalking those of you in the 2WW. Fingers crossed for each of you!

Those of you waiting to O, I'm right there with you. Wonder if I'd be so lucky to have cycles that are long AND regular? This is CD 15. I had a spike on CD 13 but it's dropped again. And I am just unable to figure out my CM right now -- there's so little of it I wonder if it even matters.  I am still waiting to interview for a teaching job for next year, so when I thought I O'd I was actually a little panicked because I wasn't expecting it yet. I was hoping I'd know whether I had a job before O came (because as the summer drags on I am becoming much less hopeful). Now I'm wishing that was it, feeling dumb (like I wished my egg away -- how silly). Oh well. I hate being in the dark on both of these things. I actually quit my summer job a week before school starts so this week I am sitting home going stir crazy instead of setting up the classroom I thought I might have. It is not good for me to have this much time on my hands to pee on sticks and chart stalk! 

MommySince08 - Sorry to hear your kids are so sick. I hope they are feeling better soon.

gemmine - Hope AF doesn't find you this cycle. 

[Stevi]

MOMMYSINCE2008...   Your temps are hard to decipher, but your other signs (opk and cf) point to ovulating yesterday or today, with yesterday being the most likely.

Gemmine...   I just got my first EWCM this morning, which puts my cycle right on it's previous schedule. I'm still talking with one possible new donor, unfotunately he is the only candidate I have right now. He's a good one, I just wish I had other considerations in case he falls through. If I can't get a donor started up in the next couple days I am seriously considering going back to dating.

[Sourire]

Hey ladies... my doctor just took me off work due to my anxiety issues. He says I should stay home for 6 weeks but I am probably going to do 2-3 weeks. Anyways I'm thinking its probably better for my mental health to stay off this site for a while, so I'll see you all in September. Hopefully I will have some good news when I come back from my break... you know what they always say, just relax and it will happen... well I intend to do some serious relaxing!!!!
