Oh, it's OK. You know I honestly think that because it's been such a drawn out cycle that I will not be as "devastated" as I was last cycle if I get a BFN. Yeah, I'll be disappointed, but I have learned a LOT about charting this month & think it will set me up for better chances in the future should I need to.

what a healthy, fantastic attitude!

I just checked out your chart - looks great! ...and, if I may, you guys certainly are quite 'active' *ahem*...still can't keep your hands off each other, eh?



I'm at 5DPO...can you please change me to testing on the 23rd!

can someone tell me how to add my FF chart?
thank you

Yeah, well we aren't *always* like that. Though when we first got married it was sometimes every day, and at least every other day, and after a couple of years we slowed it down to maybe 3x a week, sometimes only 2x a week. Now, since we've been TTC, the more the merrier, right? And obviously it can't hurt to DTD lots even before & after when you think you're going to O, because... well if we had stopped right after my supposed O date this time we might have missed it - since my O date is probably later than I thought!

Good luck to you! I might also not test again till next week.

To add your FF chart, go to FF, click on "home page setup", copy & paste your URL, and do it like this:

Good Morning. Well, yesterday was kinda a crap day for me. After my BFN in the morning I was so sad all day. I was literally on the verge of tears the whole day. I had another "losing my mind" moment. I dropped my daughter off for her weekly Spanish class at 2:25 and told her it would be okay to go in since she was only 5 minutes early. So she went in and I went to Target. At 2:45 I got a call from her Spanish teaching. I instantly thought, "Did DD get hurt?" She told me that class ended at 2:45 today and I thought, "yeah....it ends at 2:45 every week." Then it hit me. I had taken dd to Spanish class an HOUR late!!!!! When she walked in everyone said, "Why are you late?" and she told her teacher that I thought she was 5 minutes early. So I had to high-tail it out of Target to go pick her up.:
I think maybe I shouldn't be on the roads.

I am not going to retest for a while. The negative was too much for me yesterday. It was sooooo disappointing and I don't even have AF or AF symptoms yet. I looked back over old journals and saw that with my first dd I tested negative on CD 31, 38 and 46. On CD 50 I had a positive test at the doctors. I guess I will be waiting for a while to test or see if AF shows up.

WOW, that sounds like something I would do (being forgetful)!
Actually, this morning I dated all my paperwork at work for the 15th, and then realized I forgot to flip my calendar (I always flip it the day before when I leave work). So all my paperwork, which has to be mailed, is dated for yesterday. OOPS.

I was like you last cycle. Bawling my eyes out and feeling devastated. It really hurts, doesn't it? I thought I would do that again, but now I'm just kind of like "whatever... just waiting around... again". I am in the same situation with no AF or AF symptoms, and negative tests. Keep holding on, girl, we will make it through this together!

luna~ Look at the chart of yours climbing to the heavens!!! I hope this is it for you.

I hope that you are able to keep your spirits up, and focus on the other positive things in your life...

This is our 8th TTC cycle, and I find that every month my mood/approach is a bit different...this month I'm feeling *shrug shoulders*, mahhh, we'll see.... I'm really hoping that this is your month Delphine!

Charlene

Thank you.

I am trying not to be upset by it. I was on depo prior to TTC and I went off of that in November 2006. It wasn't until April that my cycle returned and I don't believe I O'd until June or July. SO, in looking at it that way, we have only been trying for about 5 months. Plus, it seems dh and I just can't get it together to bd at the right time, so there have only been a few months of real expectation.

I like to have a positive outlook on things, so I am just feeling grateful for the two ds that I DO have.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Thanks! I'm "hanging in there" I guess. LOL.

[ajjones]

well, you can add me to the Turkey Tester's group (if for no other reason than what better day to potentially find out you are pregnant than on Thanksgiving?)

FF isn't giving me any cross hairs this month (probably because I didn't receive my bbt until CD26). I'm not totally confident in my chart-interpretation skills, but I think I am probably 6-7dpo right now at CD38.

I don't really feel like this will be "my month" But that is probably because I don't want to get my hopes up . After nearly 18 months of hoping-to-conceive and now officially trying-to-conceive my hopes have been dashed more than I care to remember.

It doesn't help that my SIL (who was about a month behind me when we were pregnant with our daughters at the same time) just birthed her second baby on the 9th. I mean I'm happy for her, but she is in such a bad situation (the man she is married to raped her -and knocked her up- about two weeks after she started dating him, he then went on to convince her that she didn't deserve better and they eloped so that she wouldn't have to get crap from her family about her choice). Its like why would someone like that in such a crappy situation have such an easy time with baby blessings, when here we are in such a great marriage and we are left with so much heartbreak? I guess I just need to step back and count my blessings. But gosh-darnit I don't wanna! :

Anyway here is my chart. I'd love to get your opinions or observations - I'm such a newbe to charting that I don't really "get" it just yet.

oh, as some background - my cycle is all over the place. I think I may have PCOS, but we don't have insurance just yet, so I can't quite afford to go to a doctor to go through the testing for it. So I am in the process of doing some home treatment (losing weight very slowly so that it will "stick", improving my diet, and I'll start on vitex next cycle if this round doesn't work) and learning what I can to help improve my situation.

Thanks for letting me get my frustrations out!

I just realized there was something going on on page 1 : I'm changing my status from undeclared to Tuesday, Nov. 19th.
: for everyone!

Shannon, we can be testing buddies!

[truelife]

May I join in or am I way too late?

DH and I decided this month that we were going to start TTC next month and January, but I'm watching my chart and thinking that something else may be going on.

We had a condom break on CD11 and BD'd w/out a condom on CD20 thinking I had O'd on CD16 but then FF moved my cross hairs - oops!

What do you all think my chances are?

I took a EPT Early Response (?) -friend gave it to me without the box- and I took the test and got a BFN in the allowed time but went back 2 hours later and there was the faintest line that I could see when I held it up to the line. I have taken 2 more $Tree tests and got 2 BFNs. I'll take another test on Thanksgiving.

[HulaJenn]

I really should wait until Monday to test but I am going to cave and test Sunday (11dpo) I think.
I have had the urge to pee all morning and then I go and pee and there's just a little. (not like a bladder infection though). And I haven't broken out in my typical pre-AF acne yet (and I've been munching the halloween candy like crazy which usually spells zits too!). It is also only lunchtime and I could already use a nap.
So those are my obsessing symptoms today.
My temps still look good but they don't usually drop until right before AF so that offers me little comfort.
Have a good day all!

Pookiemom - please move me back to undeclared test date also! Thanks!

Is it sad that I started out in the Early Nov 2ww test group, and now I'm well into the late Nov test group? BAH @ having long cycles & late ovulation. BAH!

s to you Luna. You aren't the only one here from the early 2ww thread, I feel dumb because I started the early 2ww thread and here I am with no AF or + yet. :

Yep yep. I just want to be like ! Something needs to happen, either AF, or a positive test. But I'm jaded by all the early negatives & I don't want to buy any more tests. :

I empathize with you completely. I'm starting to think the dr might not know how to handle me on Monday I'm going to stick to my guns and get answers before I leave not take the 'just come back in a week or so if your period doesn't start'. (Boy my hostile moodswings seem to be getting worse. )

[geo_girl]

OK, I ***KNOW*** I said I would be patient, *BUT*

what do you ladies think of the 'early response HPT'? I read (on the company website), that you can test up to 5 days prior to when you would expect AF.

have any of you successfully used this test?

I'm only 5DPO, and starting to feel impatient and anxious to know...as are all of you!

cheers,
charlene

Aww... definitely tell your doc who is boss! I'm a wimp when it comes to that kind of thing. :

Nonononono!! LOL. You are waaaaaaaaaay too early, and what if you're like me and it turns out you O'd later than you thought? I got my first BFN at what I originally thought was 10dpo (which is too early for *most* people anyway), but that turned out to probably be 7dpo which is way, way too early. You probably haven't even implanted yet if you are pregnant!

I know it's soooo hard to wait, geo_girl, but be thankful that you aren't in my shoes. It's been 34 days since my last period started and I STILL don't know if I'm pregnant. : And JohnsCelticQueen has been waiting for a REALLY long time.

[HulaJenn]

I said in an earlier post that my high temps aren't comforting because it doesn't drop until the day before AF (usually day 26)...but my temps are much higher this month than last and looking at them, is it potentially triphasic?? I know only time will tell.....but I am the queen of obsessing.......

On an off topic...how do I get my chart to be that neat little emoticon-type thingy on everyone else's signature?
