Kinda fun. I know cycles are wacky.... & will likey throw it all off....but it was fun

[Quate]

Actually that's really helpful, so I don't have to do it myself Although your cycles are a bit shorter than mine, it looks like.

Speaking of short cycles, mine used to be 29 days, once upon a time, with a bit of variation. Lately they've been 27. But I've been getting watery cm since yesterday afternoon, so I'm expecting AF might show up today--which is only 25. Yikes! On the other hand, my temp was still up this morning, so maybe not. I guess all I can do is wait and see.

[starkyld]

Here's my chart. My temperatures for 4 of the past 5 days are higher than I ever see without being sick (I'm not) or heavy drinking (I will admit that I had a few alcoholic beverages this week because I thought that this month wasn't going to be it for us, about which I'm now feeling guilty, but no more than 1 per night and not every night). There's a major dip at 6dpo & a smaller one at 10dpo. I was due to start bleeding today. I have had no spotting (and I often start spotting a few days before I bleed), no cramping, and no noticeable symptoms other than that my right nipple hurts. Thoughts?

Thanks for the encouragement, corikodjo. I have to admit that I'm feeling almost gobsmacked right now. We had been trying and hopeful and then had drifted towards waiting for a while...and now it's looking like waiting might not be in the cards for us. Which is GREAT, but scary, you know?

I am super-excited about my trip. I've done some fieldwork in Haiti and Jamaica, but I haven't traveled abroad for conferences and just-for-fun like this before. And it will totally be fun whether or not I'm pregnant at the time; I'll just might have to modify my activities somewhat, depending.

What neighbourhood in Brooklyn are you in? I lived in Manhattan and then in Williamsburg for several years, but came to Baltimore when my boyfriend (now my husband) got a job offer here. We've put in enough time to know that this place isn't for us and that we belong back in Brooklyn. We're very much looking forward to getting back.

starkyld wow your chart does look good! When will you be testing????

As for me: I am 4 dpo today WOOOO HOOOO!!! HAHA, I am so excited that I wont have a real chance to obsess this month until I am 10 dpo (formal this weekend with friend coming into town and everything) although I will prob test on the 10th however it will be a cautious test. If it is BFP, that wont mean BFP since I did not test out my trigger, I will just have to wait until 12 dpo to test again. I am hoping it will be negative so I will KNOW the trigger is gone and any two lines after that are real! AF is due on 12 dpo so hopefully she wont show!

Anyone have symptoms yet???

Well I'm really tired, but I usually am right after O. I'm 3 dpo so anything I'm feeling is probably in my head.....but I did just feel a tingling like feeling way, way down low. Just felt it now. Definitely different sort of feeling.

oh the obsession....

Hi Starkyld. We live in park slope and love every minute of it. We can't see ourselves living any where else. Good luck with your move!

Plus.....we are cycle buddies. GL

Hi all. Soooo I'm on day 31 of my cycle (13DPO). I've always had 28 day cycles my whole life. The two cycles before this one were 31 days. I thought for sure I was gonna get AF this morning as my temp dropped yesterday. But then this morning it rose again, but I had a BFN with FMU using FRER.

Is there still hope?

I want this so bad.

I think you've still got hope. Good luck.

We're thinking that we're probably heading back to Williamsburg but are considering Park Slope. We're also discussing Fort Greene & Cobble Hill. It will be good to get back home.

We were on the same cycle last month too this cycle I am only one day ahead of you. I really hope we both get to move on to a DDC this time month!

I have those symptoms too but I am on progesterone so I cant even obsess bc its all due to that. Its actaully making things much more enjoyable for me!

[GreenFlower]

Well passed by Dollar Tree yesterday and *almost* stopped in to buy some pg tests. Told myself that I would just get them to use this weekend, if AF didn't show by Saturday. When I told my DH about my temptation, and mental justification later that day, he laughed and said he was glad I had the foresight to know that that was ridiculous (because he knows, based on the past almost year of ttc, that I am a POAS addict ). I really want to POAS, because I'm now 12dpo, but I know I don't want to deal with the disappointment of BFN.

So...my testing date is still the 9th

[GreenFlower]

btw, anyone else at 12dpo today?Because of my cycles, I rarely seem to match up with anyone. Anyone expecting AF on or around Saturday the 8th?

: Six more days!!!

I also had a though. If this is our month then if I wait till I'm 12ish weeks to break the news, like planned, that would fall right around Mother's Day.

Sappy, I know....

[jr'smom]

Please add me to test on March 7th. I was going to wait longer but that will be 11dpo and I'll be out of town after that.

I just shouldn't have bought any tests until I was late! I can't resist even though I sure get depressed when I see those BFNs. I pray it will be different this time!

Hoping for all of you too.

Your not going to tell DH until your 12 weeks?? Or do you just mean telling anyone ELSE. You are far better then I am. I would NEVER be able to keep it a secret that long. We have decided to tell only family until 12 weeks (bc we would share it with them if we had another m/c anyway) Then at 12 weeks we can tell EVERYONE! Oh I hope I'm pg this month!! I'm really sick of TTC honestly!

[Aly22681]

Rememberjoy and Etoilech Did you gal's test??? I NEED RESULTS!!! Since I cant test yet I want to live vicariously through ya'll!!
