Maiden is your O-2 attempt still looking likely? Sorry its hard to keep track with the time difference? And hopefully you *shock* yourself with a nice sticky bfp! I'll have everything crossed for you as always
would absolutely love to see you get your very long awaited bfp! Have you had many clomid cycles previously - I'm hoping this helps gives you an edge this cycle
It was only 6 weeks after my d&c that I fell with ds. I had one AF in between.

Hi ladies, like Pbn said it's nice but disappointing to see so many familiar faces. Hopefully February will be our month. I would love an October baby.
I had a hsg last week and I'll have an IUI on Thursday. My clomid was increased to 150 since I only had one follicle. Next month I'll move to injectables if I don't get a bfp. For the first time in a long time, I've been thinking about more than ttc. Hopefully it stays that way. Good luck everyone.

Now I'm not sure bc I've tested at 10:30 and 3pm today and no positive OPK, though despite dying of thirst my urine was very dilute both times. I tested late yesterday bc I napped, and got a positive from VERY dark urine (like brown almost) at 5pm and a darker than previous days but not close to positive line at 9pm with my typical dilute urine. So I'm wondering if maybe I had a super fast surge and I missed it by testing so late yesterday, I do often have a brief surge. My darkest line today is the same as 9pm yesterday.
I am trying to get more concentrated urine to test once more today, but I have only 4 OPKs left and I can't get anymore until Tuesday afternoon at the earliest (today is Sunday) as they aren't sold in stores here. So maybe I shouldn't use any more to test today? I definitely won't test again today if my urine isn't significantly darker. And i always get my darkest lines mid afternoon.
I haven't had O pain yet (though I would expect to O late tonight if I surged yesterday) and my cervix hasn't gone soft yet so maybe I will O even later like CD18+, ugh. WHY must by body resist Oing on time?
And yes this is my first Clomid cycle. But I was on Gonal F injections last cycle, and I got a very dark true positive, and had a fast surge. I Oed quite late as has been happening since I contracted Lymes. Next cycle I will take a break from meds.

Quinn I hope the HSG and upped Clomid dose help! I know many who conceived right after an HSG.

Agreed Quinn and Pbn! While I had hoped the familiar "faces" here would have already gotten BFPs, it is nice to have the same support group. It would be so great if we could all move to the same DD group together. IF I'm pregnant this cycle, I'd be due Oct. 18th. I keep thinking how cute it would be to have a tiny, squishy little newborn in a Halloween costume. All these damn post-O hormones have me feeling very emotional. I cry at the drop of a hat! haha
So sorry for the BFN Pinkin. I still have my FX it's too early.
Nann it's likely too early to test or 7dpo but if you're just itching to test, then use a cheapie if you have one. Sometimes I pee on an OPK just to satisfy the urge. LOL
Sounds like you may O soon Maiden! Best of luck
I'm so excited for you Quinn! I've heard of many women getting pregnant the cycle they have a HSG. I hope the same happens for you.

Hi I'm cd16 today and have always had a positive opk on day 16 or 15 but still negative. Antibiotics maybe affecting this?? Was going to do every 4 days starting day 8 but was so unwell didn't start to day 12 and thought today would be our attempt in fertile window but now thinking of putting off until I get a positive. This is most likely our last cycle of trying, perhaps one more. Starting to think this just isn't meant to be....

One HT attempt in U.S. April 2015, all abnormals.
Now preparing to sway.

Ttc, sorry you are in a similar boat. I'm CD16 too. I strongly suggest you attempt today just in case. Then maybe attempt again in 3-4 days depending on what happens with your OPKs.

I'm in the same boat Maiden, questioning if I got positive OPK's or not. I have been sick with a head congestion and sore throat since Thursday so drinking more which means I have been having trouble holding urine for more then 2 hours so more diluted than normal. Yesterday morning I swear if was positive, or all but, but then last night and this morning the lines were much much lighter. So thinking maybe I had positives Friday night since holds weren't as long or maybe a quick surge this month or maybe my body backed off from O'ing because I'm sick. had a fever off and on since Thursday so not sure temps will pick up a O shift or not. Guess it will be a wait and see month.

tfahn, assuming you did surge yesterday (and it does sound like you had a true surge albeit brief), I'd guess you will O today, or maybe Monday or Tuesday, since in past cycles you sometimes Oed 2-3 days after your first positive OPK. Super frustrating about your high pre O temps due to fever and being so sick overall. I has a severe case of strep throat almost a year ago and started spiking a fever 2dpo! Do you feel like you are getting any better at all?
