I have no clue when and if I'll freaking ovulate so I can't predict when I'll get to test, BUT... my birthday is Jan 16th, and our wedding will be Jan 29th, so it would be FABULOUS to get a BFP as a birthday or wedding gift. :

VeganC, I'm so sorry! Stupid

MamaSweetP, can you even concentrate at work at ALL? I'd be dying if I were you!! Little hooray!!! for your little maybe probably a bfp!

Kitttykat, I know we're never ever supposed to look at our tests after the allowed time, but... when I was TTC my last shortling, I had gotten bfn after bfn. Then I took a test in the AM, it was a bfn, & I went back to bed. An hour & a half later I looked at it & lo & behold there was the faintest line humanly possible there, my DP couldn't even see it! So we drove straight out to get a FRER & I got my faint but def. there bfp. : to you!!

mommy-x-2, I'm trying sooo hard to learn how to decipher CF from semen stuff, too! It's so annoying. I *think* that EWCM should be perfectly clear, & that semen stuff is usually slightly yellowish or cloudy. Besides that, I'm still stumped.

Thank you dctexan and once again congratulations on your pregnancy. I know you must be doing back flips to be graduating to the DDC! All the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy and a wonderfully empowering birth experience!!!

[hazieluna]

Good Morning! I think I O'ed today but my temps are all wonky so I'm not 100% sure. What do you ladies think, should I jump my DH today again or is it too late? Unfortunately my DH is not into TRYING, he just wants to let nature do its thing. Yeah opposites attract, right? I'm doing all my obsessing in the closet. I have to jump him in a NATURAL way... haha!

Any insights about my weird chart?

I want to get pregnant this cycle really badly, I guess a few of you can relate.... so I'm determined to make sure we get in enough BDing even if DH starts to suspect something is up because of my sudden crazy libido. Should I BD again tonight?

I hope I'm not imposing too much on everyone. I still feel like a newbie at this charting thing.
Thanks!

I love seeing the new mom's BFPs! So very exciting, I look forward to that thrilling feeling, the jubilation!
Congratulations to Sabo, Artgirl and Dctexan, what a wonderful holiday blessing!
AND than you for bringing some positive energy into the One Thread, we need to be reminded of the possibiities and share in the joy of hope. Thank you for reminding us....me.
MamasweetP My fingers are crossed for you girl. Good vibes to ya!

I am CD8 and O around new year's or so. Ms sister got pregnant her 4th cyce of trying both times so here is to being average!!!!!

[Jezzy]

What an exciting day yesterday was!! I hope to see a couple more bfp's this morning. :

hazieluna sorry, I am also to new to charting to tell you if you had O'd or not. I would guess with that temp jump that you did.

I am 8 dpo and my temp took a nose dive. I was so schocked to see that it was that low. Yesterday evening I felt like I was burning up and tonight I could hardly sleep I felt that I was on fire. I wanted to take my temp then but I find my thermometer. It had fallen on the floor. I swear I felt like I was burning! :

[MamaSweetP]

OK, incredibly, super-dee-duperdy faint line on $Tree this morning, definitely around 3 minutes, less than 5, and well within the 10 minute limit. It's SO incredibly faint, though, that I just don't trust it. I know that "a line is a line," but seriously, I can see it better at some angles than others, and it doesn't even show up on a photo!
I still have one FRER and one CBEdigital left, but after spending $30 for the suckers, I don't want to use them this morning, too. So, tomorrow is 14dpo and I'll use one tomorrow and one the next day. Which one should I use first? I'd say the FRER, except that I've read a bunch of reviews online that say that other tests were positive when that one was negative ???

:

At 13dpo, with a massive dip at 6dpo, I thought it would be clearer than this by now!

[Arduinna]

blech I hate temping I always end up waking up earlier and earlier. I should just quit and stick with CM as a sign as it's always been accurate for me.

[Tenk]

MamaSweetP ERM, I don't think I could wait until tomo if I were you....I would do another one in like 5 hours holding my pee in until then...hehe Congratulations!!!

[juneau]

Cd1

CD1 here, ho hum. Oh pregnant threadkeeper, would you please move me to waiting to O? (Again...)

And mamasweetP, I'm going to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[megincl]

Good morning mamas!

Juneau, so sorry AF found you. :

MamaSweetP -- I have to say I trust even the faintest line. I'm sure tomorrow will bring a dark bold one! Can't wait!

We're hanging out here at CD11. Here's the chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/11575d

Even though the temp went down .1 today, I still think it looks good. What about y'all? Still nervewracking. I think no testing until Friday. If I can keep myself from buying a test today....on some charts Katie's temp starts to dive on CD11, so having a high one today makes me hopeful....

be well all,
megin

[MamaSweetP]

I'm sorry, Juneau

Megin -- keepin' everything crossed for you guys!

Tenk -- yeah, I brought both tests with me to work because, you know, I can't possibly concentrate at work today LMAO. Oh, and I brought my thermometer, too, so that I can obsessively temp like every hour.

Please excuse me while I obsess today . . . OK, so now looking at this morning's test, it looks like a barely-there evap line. I'm back to thinking I'm not. I have a feeling I won't be satisfied either way until I get a clear AF or bFATp at 15dpo or more.

:

My oh my. What a day. Maybe I'm just batsh*t crazy.

[dctexan]

Changes made to here

juneau and lots of for your next cycle (and for all you other Waiting to O'ers)

Natalia- While it looks like you might have O'd it is still too early to tell. If there is any way possible to jump DH tonight, I would try to do it. My understanding of OPKS is that the eggie is usually released 12-48 hours AFTER a positive. So, jumping DH tonight would be well worth your while. I know we have talked about it on the TTC#1 in your 30s thread, but I just want to say I hear you on secretly trying because DH wants to "let things happen". Good luck. If tonight doesn't work out for you, I'd say jump him tomorrow morning. Morning jumps were more successful for me (in terms of having him agree to DTD) because men have higher testosterone level in the morning...or so I've heard.

Charlotte - Small tiny mini congrats. You are pretty much killing us with all of this suspense. I'd be mad, but i know it is probably even more stressful for you. I hope you get your very clear, very positive answer soon.

[hazieluna]

Thanks Emily, I'm going to try for another roll in the hay tonight! I just really want to make sure this cycle I at least get close to a BFP.

Maybe now is the time to try body shots after all.

LOL, go get him!

[dctexan]

Body shots, absolutely. Worked for PiePie My DH was actually drinking wine with dinner the night we BDed after positive OPK. As in college, sometimes people (i.e. DHs) just need a little alcohol to start acting a bit more, shall we say, relaxed? : for you sweetie.

[AugustLia23]

COngrats to all of the BFPS! How exciting, and hugs to all the BFN's.

So remember how I was all confused about some of my OPK's turning ++ and some being neg, well last night after feeling crampy all day long I tested again and whaddya know ++++ OPK really quickly, then this AM my CBFM showed a little eggie, so apparently NOW I'm gonna ovulate. Here's my chart:
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/13f76d
DW and I decided to bite the bullet and try 2x more this cycle, since my Ovulation is now so clear. How ironic, after freaking out the I would O earlier, that it comes on CD21-22. I figure there's no point to changing my status though, so I'll stay under waiting to know.
