Who's gonna start off the November BFP list??  

Myllissa - do you have any other charts? I can't properly stalk you without overanalyzing all previous charts.  That's a sweet temp jump. How on earth you have such restraint from POAS, I will never know. What's your usual LP?

krunchyk - Learning cervical position and open/closed definitely has a learning curve. One thing I have learned is to check position (high/mid/low and soft/mid/firm) only once per day because that sucker moves around throughout the day. You can check CF several times though. And FYI, If I didn't check position, I'd never find any CF. It seems mine doesn't like to come out without force. 

Can't wait for some of you to start POAS!! I need to live vicariously through SOMEONE!

AFM, OPKs should be here by Tuesday. I told DH we can't have sex until "it's time" because I want our marathon to be enjoyable and not a chore like it was last time. LOL 

 

[brichole1214]

Thanks for the new thread...i need more people to obsess with me lol. If my temp is still up in the morning I will be heading to the dollar tree after work to stock up on enough tests to use two or three times a day until I get af or a bfp :-)

[Gator-mom]

Thanks for the new thread!  I haven't been posting very often, but I'm trying to check up on you ladies as often as I can!  Hope everyone had a good weekend!

CD9 here..and trying to DTD at least every other day this week.  It's going to be a busy school week so hoping I can do it!

[anyalily]

Hi - can you please add me to the 2WW list? I just bought 3 FRERs this evening and I will probably try one in the morning. Tomorrow will be 12 DPO, according to my best guess. It is our first month trying and I didn't start charting. If AF makes an appearance, I will bust out the ole' thermometer. Just trying to keep cool. This 2WW has been hard - anyone else find themselves obsessed!?! I guess that's why we're all here.

[Attached2Elijah]

Thanks for the new thread!

Tomorrow, I start a new exercise routine... and 2 weeks from now, I'm getting pregnant. I got pregnant with both kids right after a new year's resolution to exercise more so this time, we'll start it without a resolution and get pregnant some OTHER time besides my birthday, lol. Maybe if I put it in writing here, I'll actually stick to it... but I doubt it. I'm unapologetically lazy. I just know that's what I am going to have to do in order to get pregnant... now the question is how much do I want this?

[Carlin]

Thanks for the new thread MamanF!

DH spent last evening in the emergency room waiting to get stitches (just a minor hockey incident, so nothing too serious, but still) and left this morning for work, DD's got a cold, and of course I'm still feeling pretty blah, so it's been a rough weekend. I'm hoping getting back into our week day routine tomorrow will help. I've allowed myself to drink coffee for the last few days, but I'm going back to my green tea/carrot pre-O habit tomorrow. I'm also thinking about adding EPO. DH is away for work again starting on cd 19, so I really hope O isn't delayed this cycle.

Fertility vibes to everyone! I think it's a great week for a BFP!

[myllissa]

MamanF:  I have always tracked by CM, no temps.  This is my first month with temps.  I was diagnosed hypothyroid last spring when my hair fell out, I gained a lot of weight, felt really cold all of the time, my period starting coming every 21 days, and was absolutely exhausted. I've gotten it straightened out for the most part, but wished I had taken my temps throughout treatment so I would have a better idea of how my body has been doing through all of the changes.  My cycles seem to have lengthened back out in August, and in Sept, I tracked CM.  So, long story short, what you see is what you get.  Sad sad sad.  I wish there was more tracked history so I could tell if the temps I'm experiencing are normal or "special".  That's why I'm holding out until CD29 to test.  I think.  Well, that's the plan.  I wondered if the temp jump was from the daylight savings delay or if it might be something more.  We'll see tomorrow. I really only have mild phantom symptoms, same as last month.  I'm really not getting my hopes up because I don't want my heart broken, you know?  AF is due next Saturday, so we'll see who breaks first.  Her or me.  

[FeralFox]

Brichole - Ha, I'm with you on that.  POAS is addictive.  Last time I couldn't resist doing it at least once a day each and every time, and when I finlly got my BFP I kept going that way, at least once a day for another good week.  Make sure you get extra for reconfirming your BFP!

Gator - Good luck!  I have to give you credit for going to school while taking care of smalls.  Or are you a teacher?  Equal credit for that.

Carlin - Yikes, glad to hear DH is ok!  Will he at least get an awesome scar out of it?

A2E - Add me to the list of those jealous of your new guy.  I'd love to have one just like him, but we won't have electricity next year, so I can't justify buying one now.

AFM - I'm already addicted to this thread, and to chart-stalking.  My own chart is here, so it can go in the intro post.  There's nothing really on it yet, but there will be soon enough.  I need to get extra good at it this time, because I won't be temping.  I work nights, so sometimes I sleep at night and sometimes during the day.  I really can't get enough good temps to bother with them.  Plus, we feel that we need to trust the Gods this time, and let them decide when we get pregnant.  In other news, I got a new boyfriend myself, though he hasn't arrived yet.  This is him, right here.

[brichole1214]

I cheated and tested with a $tree hpt this morning and looks like there is a very FAINT amount of pink where the second line should be.  I am going to go get more tests tonight after I get off work just to confirm but i do believe we actually got our BFP this month!!!!! (Super excited because DH has been so wishie washie about it!!!)    I will still stay in the waiting to know area because I don't want it to be a chemical pregnancy and have to be moved again.  My temp went up .2 degrees today so that is a super plus and i have been so sick to my stomach today it's not even funny!!!  I will keep everyone posted!!!! :)

[Stevi]

Brichole...   Woohoo!!!!

[taurustheta]

Crappy photo, but 1 day after AF was due...

[brichole1214]

Thank you Stevi!!!   :)   I really hope that this one sticks...i don't know if i can handle another loss this close to the holidays!!!

[taurustheta]

Congratulations, Brichole!!! 

[brichole1214]

Taurustheta:  YAY!!! CONGRATS!!!  Super excited for you!!! I hope to be able to pee on one of those tomorrow morning and post on thursday when i get back to work lol. 

[Carlin]

TaurusTheta and Brichole Congratulations!  Sending sticky baby vibes your way and wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.

I finally POAS this morning - I could hold out no longer. It is only 11-12 DPO. I got a BFN on a FRER. I am holding out hope, but feel disappointed. I have been imagining myself pregnant. Oh well. Everything for a reason.

[Verdahekawi]

Hi everybody. Can I join as Waiting to O? 

DH and I have basically been trying for a year and a half. We really tried for the first 9 months or so...OPKs and charting, supplements etc. It was becoming too stressful so we took a step back and for the past 9 months have mostly just not been preventing. I figured maybe there was something to the whole "it'll happen when you stop trying" thing...yeah, not so much. We decided this past weekend that we're going to really try again for the next 6 months (back to charting and OPKs etc.), and if I'm not pregnant by the end of April, that's probably it. I'm only 32 but DH is 44 and already feels like he's too old to be having kids, so I'm REALLY hoping it happens soon. I have a friend who started trying the same time I did and just got pregnant, so I'm still holding out some hope :) 

[FeralFox]

Brichole and Taurustheta - Congrats!!!

Verdahekawi - Welcome!  I hope you're out of here soon!

Anyalily -

[Carlin]

Oops, FeralFox, I missed your earlier post! Your new boyfriend looks awesome! I really want to get into canning but somehow never manage to get everything together to try it. I don't think DH's scar is going to be all that exciting. It's just above his lip and will probably blend in with all the other nicks and scars 35ish years of hockey and soccer have created.
