Like, maybe, since around when you got that first +opk? I hope there's a precious surprise waiting for you this month.
Yes! I didn't fully take my temps this month (I ended up plugging some random numbers in to get crosshairs on FF!) AND I used NO OPK! So as far as what FF says... I ovulated on the CD19... which made me 8dpo yesterday.
But it wasn't even fmu, either...
Can you see why I don't belieeeeeve it??
I wasn't on the diet this month, I skipped breakfast sometimes (or if I didn't it was toast or a crumpet... tried to not eat oatmeal/cereal....), still had bad snack days, though... and gained all weight back since resuming my normal foods (mostly)... so I wasn't losing weight or very very little to make it pointless for swaying...
But basically, after two annoying months with a 50 day cycle and a 55 day cycle with ovulation happening likely around CD38... when I relaxed my food back to how I used to eat... wham, cycle is mostly normal again. Just crazy....
But it means I'd probably have a boy, even if DH and I are both vegetarian anyway.
He did FR (no LR this time)... we got 2 attempts in (the first one was no J+D but the second one I wiped immediately afterwards because I was nervous as I forgot to take an antihistamine) and then a 3rd attempt after when I supposedly ovulated so likely didn't count to anything.
Our attempts were not back to back... we'd skip a day and he'd continue to FR on those skipped days.
I did soy isoflavones, antihistamine, folic acid.
We'll see.......
It sounds like you were nice and relaxed though, and you still had many other things going for you that sway pink. Don't lose hope! It's very possible that this little bean could be a girl. I have everything crossed for you! ;)
I never used OPKs with my son, never took temps, etc. I thought I'd be clever with all of that business but I wonder if it also contributed to my long cycles... :( Which is why I dropped it (although started temping when I noticed some fertile signs happening.)
well...
all my tests/ brands coming back positive... see below
BUT my progesterone yesterday was only at 4.9 :( (was 10.4 ..10 dpo)

look positive to me, no idea what progesterone is or should be though or even how you measure it
SUREGENA!!!! That looks like a BFP to me!!!! Congrats!
should be rising and should prob be above 12? or 15?...
hey, i had high hopes for last month but missing this one is quiet hard, my temps been stable last two days so fairly sure it's a bfn again, begining to really think maybe there's something wrong with me....never even heard of an opk when i got preggie with the boys and now i know i've dtd at the right time and nothing ;-(
beadin fx for you hun
aw fish i know how you feel, part of me says its good as were finding it harder to catch its swaying pink but then as time goes on the sway drops which is hard
but then maybe its cause of age for me at least (i'm 30) and fertility is supposed to decline over 25 ish so that every so many sperm and eggs are duds maybe were just catching a dud? But then we caught first month with all 3 boys, it never really crossed my mind it wouldn't happen but then we weren't doing things to reduce ferility
Aww Fish, I feel the same exact way!!! Before I just dtd on CD14 and BAM! Baby Boy. LOL.
Now, I'm using opks, temping, checking my Cx (not that I have a clue what I'm doing with that, other than being able to check CM) and still can't get it right. lol.
It will work out for us though...and I know I've said it before, but I really do believe it...the longer it takes, the better the chance it will be a girl. :) Just keep thinking about that! Xx

:running:
Surgena..YOU ARE PREGNANT BABY!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!! :HH:
I just KNEW this would be your month changing things up! WOOOOOO HOOOOO
Loves, how exciting!!!!!! Go get on and progesterone!!!!!! :pregnant:
Attachment 4595
Did they check your levels butterlfy or just RX it because you were bleeding? I think I need to find a new practice and its the weekend..
Spinning just keep using the natural progesterone cream until you get in. :hug:
Very unlikely I can get progesterone... I'm just going to have to see how things go, unfortunately, if it is a positive.
Spinning : CONGRATS! Keep using that progesterone cream.... hopefully you are going to get in soon to the Dr?
Beadin: that's a great attitude, I really hope it's this month for you.
Awww Fish: there's nothing wrong with you, we're all doing this stuff to decrease fertility, and it sure doesn't help (((HUGS))). We'll all get through the craziness and hopefully our little Pink package will be the result
So exciting with all the BFPs making it through this month. I'm on 8 DPO tomorrow and waiting until at least 11 or 12. I am having a triphasic chart but I have been sick with a cold this week so I don't know if it's because of that.

"Dear Asshole, I'm just writing to teLL you that I caLLEd you asshoLe yesterday.. because I found out

I think he guessed as much. I showed him the test last night and he said he saw the line, and he said he had a feeling as it explained my bitchfests the last few days if it's real.
Because, seriously... everything has been pissing me off... at work, at home. I was just a very angry girl the second part of last week!
Yeah - even so. They really won't do anything until you've had three losses in a row. I mean, hey, it's fine... but my hope is the soy isoflavones helped my lining... because I have often wondered if perhaps that might have been a contributing factor to the two miscarriages before my son (and I conceived my son right after the second miscarriage, so I possibly had a slightly more 'rich' environment in the uterus for him to implant?)
I have read that soy should help. My last soy cycle, when I got my AF I passed tissues and more clots, which to me makes me think that the lining was better than normal. So, fingers crossed that the soy ends up being my magic trick to prevent any future loss. Fingers crossed... if this is real... (see, I still don't believe it...)
I suppose it's that weird thing about whether or not you can trust the faint lines on ICs, when I guess they mainly remain quite reliable for most. They've been reliable for me in the past, but hey-ho... denial at its finest!
Beadin, how many cycLes have you been on Vitex now hon?
It was like 4...this is my first month off of it.
I could tell you exactly how many, but my calendar is downstairs...yes, I document EVERYTHING. LOL.
Well for forever I've ovulated on CD 14, so this is quite different for me. LOL. Yeah...I'm not sure if quitting the Vitex has something to do with it or running from Hurricane Isaac. I was really concerned initially, but now its almost become a game. LOL. I ran out of Opks & the dig ones I use weren't restocked yet (incidentally, my phone wants to correct "restocked" to "testicles"...that made me giggle). I would've gone to another store, but at this point, I thought why even bother. LOL
Every day I wake up & wonder what my temp is gonna do. As long as I get AF relatively soon (Always been a 28 day girl) or PREFERABLY a BFP ;) I'll be okay. Just waiting it out. lol
OMG....I nearLy forgot about that damn hurricane...talk about a boat Load of stress.. you probabLy skipped it due to that aLone!
:rofl: restocked aka testicLes.... I about feLL off my chair!!!!!
Yeah...I'm kinda hoping that it was delayed, but happened. I don't have too much time to play with b/c of my age, but there's nothing I can do about it all now.
Hopefully my temp will keep rising & maybe I'll get my crosshairs back. (FF gave me some, but then took them back when I got EWCM.. lol)
Me, too!! LOL...I'm glad I caught it & also glad it happened HERE...I could just see me mentioning on Facebook how they "testicles" my favorite wine (or whatever) at the supermarket!! LOL
Spinning- any updates. After I had a chemical in march my doc puts me on progesterone a few days after O just in case. When will you get your bloods back with the hcG and progesterone?
Hope, SURGENA got her BFP!!!!!
That should give you more hope too!
Well, we'll see! I'm approaching this very cautiously!!! :o
