TTC – we can coach you for temping, promise it’s actually pretty easy – and if nothing else, it will allow you to read the signs better – and confirm what the opk says ;)
And who knows if your 3 cycles don’t work (though am sure this one or the next will), your hubby may change his mind about trying longer – so knowing your body very well will always be a bonus regardless!
And your DH has forgotten protection before, so if O turns out to be delayed, you could still potentially get some BD in – don’t lose faith. Does he use condoms after attempt time? Or doe she think it is “safe” to go without?
I know you are deflated – and were so hopeful – my last cycle I was the same, heck I had lots of nausea that I now just think might have been my mind playing tricks on me because I wanted to be pregnant so bad but could have swore I was (1st cycle I don’t get that so was convinced it could only be because I had conceived)…
But I promise your mood will pick up again in a few days when you get excited for the next attempt – big hugs!
EEEk – so exciting all these appointments, cannot wait for you ladies to see your little beans!!! :D
Naci – enjoy that trip sounds amazing! ;)
Ok, picking up the purple digis this arvo – since my cycle is about 29 days I will start on CD9 as per the CB table with FMU and continue on with ICs during the day..eeek!
My stepper arrived but can’t pick it up tonight so will not be able to get it until tomorrow – shoot – I guess my exercise tonight will have to be BD :D
After that , I plan on BD starting our eod plan as of Friday (CD8), so won’t be more than a weakish before attempt time – so excited! ^^
Mommy – yes, when do you plan on testing hon? :D
Don't know lmsm, afraid of getting my hopes up in case the attempts weren't enough this month.

Wow we are in July. [emoji4][emoji4]
LMSM - My appointment is on 30th at 4 in the afternoon. I think it will be morning your time. Will keep u all posted. Praying for a healthy bean in there. I like the idea of bding as a workout. Go girl. [emoji1303]
Yay for cb opks. I also used them with fmu and then continued with ICs for the rest of the day. Fx for a bfp this month. I also found doing it myself very hard but made sure to have a big O after BD. Specially after pos opk. [emoji12][emoji12]
Ttc - I agree with what Lolla, Ash and LMSM said. We are here to cheer each other and in for the good the bad and the ugly. Couldn't have said it any better. I know what you mean by saying that u r not bummed that af arrived. It's better to be silly in reading symptoms than having to constantly think that there is something wrong. Now let's get excited for the new cycle and please think about bbt. It really made a lot of sense to me. Don't want to push you though. U should do what you r comfortable doing. We will be here for you every step of the way. [emoji847]
Nacire - Fx for the test tomorrow. [emoji847][emoji847]
Mommy2apples- Yay for 2WW. Can't wait to start annoying you to POAS. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]Jk. But eagerly waiting for test times. Fx so tight.
Xxforhubby- I love your dd's name. It's beautiful.
Max - How are you? How is it going taking Femara?

Here goes my catch up....hope I didn't miss anyone!
XX - Love your name choice! Thanks for starting a new thread too.
Nacire - Enjoy Maui! So lucky! Hope your test was just too early and you get those two lines asap!
TTC - So sorry to hear AF has arrived :( Must have been so hard having all those symptoms. This is the place to be to vent and talk about things, especially as you can't with DH. This is a safe haven for so many of us....guys just usually don't get it. Stay around, we stick together and help one another through xo
Sky & Lola - wishing you both all the best at your appointments!!! Hope you both get a photo to share with us.
Max - Hope you're feeling okay on Femera! Any side effects?
LMSM - Love your organisation with all your sticks! You'll know that egg is coming before the egg knows LOL
Mommy2apples - Nice little drop in temp! Could be implantation!
AFM - My sister didn't get a BFP....hope it was just too early OR that she doesn't know how to squint enough LOL
We are away this week.....being in the TWW means I can't have any wine, which sucks. I've also stopped the LE diet when I'm away....too hard and I want to enjoy my time. I'm 3dpo and no signs yet. My post O temp really isn't high at all, but this is my first time using vaginal temps, so maybe it's different for me. I've also been sleeping badly....Hopefully they go up over the next few days. I've been wondering if I did O, but the OPKs have defintely faded out. I'll probably test on CD9, which would be next Monday!
lol thanks Sky

Thanks Iw4k. It shot back up this morning, who knows with my wonky body.

Thanks ladies!!
I like everyone's plan! I can't wait for your test Iwant4! I think testing at 9dpo is a good place to start!
I want to take a moment and say that TTCing is such an emotional roller coaster. It's SO hard when a BFP seems so ellusive- you want to give up but the strong feeling that there is someone you haven't met yet keeps you going. Even when DH's put up road blocks, we still keep on going. I will tell you it WILL work out. I'm not sure how, but I do know it will. Hang in there. We will all be here for you- no matter what it is you need.

Iwant4-yay for crosshairs! Your temp started out very low, so maybe lower post O temps are the norm for you when vag temping? What time do you temp?
Mommy-fx that was an implantation dip!! 🤞🏻How early do you plan on testing??
LMSM-excited for you to start the opks! My digi correlated nicely with my wondfos, but the smileys really helped confirm it! Fx this is all you need & you'll be on your way to a BFP!
Max-how is femara going?? Couldn't be more excited for you!!
Ttc-I agree with everything LMSM said!!! [emoji106] We are more than happy to help you figure out temping & charting! I never used it with my 1st 2 kiddos and was new to it until the lovely people here at GD helped me figure it all out! It's the coolest science experiment & helps you get in tune with your body signs. For some a temp drop gives the heads up that AF is about to arrive. Mine always dropped on the day of AF, so not much of warning. ...And those annoying squinters-so frustrating! It's very possible that you started to implant, but didn't stick for whatever reason. Pretty common & we wouldn't even know if it weren't for early testing...so that's def one of the drawbacks of early testing! For some, charting/temping causes more stress, so don't want that for you, but you may feel somewhat in control being about to track what's going on! Let us know if we can help if you decide you want to give it a try!!! Do you have a basal body thermometer?
Thanks Lola would be nice if it were!

Hi ladies! Making a quick comment so this shows up on my tapatalk tonight when I have time to read and catch up.
Femera is going great, but I literally have NO side effects. I hope that's not a bad sign...could it possibly not be working on me? I'm 5mg on CD3-7 (day CD5 today).
Will catch up tonight. XO
Lmsm- Thank you so much! I'm still on the fence with temping. I may give it a shot because you're absolutely right, he plans to always use protection except for the 2 attempts, but sometimes he's had a few beers and doesn't care, or as you said, he stops using them after positive opk but usually we slack on bd after 2 attempts anyway. It goes from e4d to e5-7d, and then we pick back up with e4d when af arrives. Since I always get positives between cd13 and 16, I'm going to try to get him eod from CD8 until positive opk (and THEN use my 2 attempts) but just not tell him it's planned and he will just so happens to have "misplaced" his protection. Don't judge me.. :rofl:
Sky- Thank you. Do you think just trying to get a couple extra attempts before or after positive opk will have the same effect as if I were temping, or does it really make that much of a difference? I mean I'm sure if does or all you ladies wouldn't waste your time.. I just get really stressed and anxious especially when I'm trying something new that I don't know anything about. I'm afraid having another thing to worry about it might actually cause me not to conceive because I'm so stressed out. Is that even possible? Lol. No I don't have a bbt but I could easily pick one up before O. Or do I need to be temping now in order to have an accurate chart this cycle?
Lola: That makes sense, and something I was wondering but would rather not know or think about.. :( Do you think you ladies could give me the general guidelines of temping? Do you just temp once a day, vaginally, in the morning and when you get a higher or lower temp than normal you know that o has occurred? And the same thing happens at the end of your cycle as a warning that af is arriving?
Hi Everyone! I'm 11 dpo my temps dropped a little this morning, but I honestly didn't get a good night sleep. My son co-sleeps with me because he nurses, and he was all over me.. I tested this morning and I can see something, but I refuse to say it's positive because I've heard the blue dye test give really bad evap lines. I won't call it positive unless af doesn't show. I will retest later this week once I'm officially late :)Attachment 36773Attachment 36774
NACIRE is this a fresh wet test or the one from yesterday?

Fresh wet from this morning
YAY that's positive lady! Blue don't give false positive that soon only after they set a while. And since it's a cheapie and not a frer I say CONGRATS [emoji323]

Thanks AshFind, but I'm still very hesitant to even believe it could be positive. I wasn't even going to share it, because I didn't want everyone excited :( I still think it could be evaporation or indent line... I guess I just don't want high hopes even though I've been super hopeful :)
The second picture isn't even a squinter on my end it's so clear. When is af due? You should test again in the am we can't wait will af lol you have some awesome patience
[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15) 🤰 and dreaming [emoji177](18)
af is due on July 2nd so very very close :) I'm very grateful to have all you guys being so positive and encouraging in this process. I think thats what keeps me patient :)
Nacire: I see the line for sure!!

Mommy2apples - It's totally a squinter in person, but I just honestly feel its evap or indent. I should have purchased a pink dye test yesterday, but I was in such a rush to think straight :(
Aww nacire!! I'm rooting for you!!

Mine was a squinter for my baby girl on a blue dye! 3.5 weeks pregnant with her.

Thanks so much Mommy2apples! How are you doing today? How are you feeling?
Welcome nacire! Feeling pretty good. Heading to hooters lol oldest sons choice since it's his birthday. I think their food is gross, but I think he likes the view. Lol

Mommy2apples - I never been a fan of Hooters either. I think their wings are super salty and just awful. Is this your oldest sons choice? I see why he'd totally love to go there lol:bigsmile:
Lol yep, the oldest. 14 today!

Max- that's awesome that you don't have any negative side effects. I hope it stays that way for you! I'm sure it doesn't mean it's "not working" or they would have made you aware of the possibility. I think you're just a lucky one. :) Excited to see what this cycle holds for you! :hh:
Nacire- I understand you being hesitant, but that is very clearly a positive and I'm super excited for you! I can't wait to see more tests but very much agree you should wait until you're completely comfortable talking another. Fx for you!
Nacire: congrats! It's positive in Oz too!!! Any chance you can get another test? You only have a digi left now is that right?
Thanks Xx! Love your words! So true!
Lola - it went up a bit this morning. My initial 6 days or so were oral temps and then I switched.
It's great you have no side effects. I find the effects of clomid build up and even show once you stop taking them.
Afm: temp up a bit this morning! Going to the river on a paddlesteamer today and then we are taking the boys fishing for the first time ❤️

TtcBlue18 - I'm very hesitant maybe because I had that other false positive which I chop it up to human error. I also know af is right around the corner so I'm scared of thinking to much into it. Af is due this week FF says July 2nd, but I think def any day if she decides to show herself.. The test is more a squinter in person, but ughhh :( I think I will not test till Friday if I can be patient till then :)
IWant4Kids - I only have a CB digital left :( I went test taking crazy with my wondfo batch :)
Nacire- I wouldn't use the digi yet. I think those take quite a bit longer to turn positive so there's no need to let a possible "not pregnant" bring you down. I think waiting til Friday is a great plan (if you're only using the digital).. if you do cave rather soon, I would pick up some pink lines :) The other positive you had really confused me too! I don't know what to make of that. Although it's very rare, I have read that sometimes a faulty test can give a false positive. But I highly doubt it will happen this time :) :heart:
Nacire - I see it clearly. I m sure it will get darker. It's not even a squinter. [emoji1317][emoji1317] for you. [emoji322][emoji322]

Ttc - Sorry took me long to reply. Wasn't home and no battery in ph. It's absolutely fine if you don't want to get a bbt. You should definitely not do it if it's going to add to the stress. I started trying with just opks but then I saw everyone's charts and I really wanted to see how bbt works that's y I bought it for my second cycle. I noticed my temp going up two days after pos opk which indicated that I ovulated and was fun to know. And then after 8-9 dpo of my temp dropped, I knew af was coming. So it kind of prepared me. The month I got a bfp, my temp took more than two days to jump so I added another attempt. I hope I am not confusing you. That said, I still feel if you are using digis, having good attempts after pos opk is the way to get bfp. I don't know if my sway worked or not but I came to know my body n cycle better. I always felt frustrated that O can happen in two days after pos opk so I felt better when my bbt confirmed and then didn't worry about adding more attempts. Let me know if You have any questions.
