I think you are gearing up to O. You could always attempt now and have another attempt in 3-4 days when you may actually get a true positive or O.
This is what I would do though, since I have been ttcing a while.

Thanks XX, I haven't used them before but is it normal to get a kind of dark line in the AM then for it to be light in the PM? Could that just be I had more concentrated urine in the morning? I'll test again at the same time tomorrow but we had an attempt today so I feel ok about that ;)
Sounds great! The RE explained it to me that LH levels peak between 12-3pm and that was the best time to test. Testing in the morning and evening can often result in lower levels.
That being said, I test in the mornings and always get great results. Though I haven't gotten pregnant yet so not sure what that means!
FX that you caught the egg!!!

XX-- your chart is tricky this month! My guess is you O'd on the 27th. Did you say that your post O temps are always over 98? If so, then that would line up with O on the 27th. I thought that a fallback rise was always on 2dpo as it occurs immediately after O.
So my guess is you O'd on the 27th.
XX- Here is a pic of my chart for DS2. I hope it helps you a little. I hope this is your BFP cycle!

Maiden, it might be my only chance for a BFP. If I get one. Just really hope it, finally!, a girl if I do. The thought of 5 boys is terrifying.
I'm getting more cramping than I ever remember having. And I have a couple "pregnancy" things, but I'm sure I get them not pregnant & just don't pay attention. Besides, it's way too early. The below was only taken 3 days ago.
The ones 12 hours before & after were definitely negative. It was 3 days after we DTD, which is well in the window. And I've gotten pregnant the first time every other time. But I'm 4 years older than when I got pregnant with my youngest & peri-menopause has definitely started.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...16ef327516.jpg
We also made our attempt last night:) I drank a bottle of wine to go with it and I have a headache this morning to prove it. Lol. May the winner of the swimmers be my baby girl;)
Yesterday I had a pretty positive opk and a lot of EWCM. This morning I am having sharp pains to my left groin, typical o pain, and I am confident with our attempt last night. Good luck to everybody else! Especially to those who had been in this game a while- it's been a tough long road and we all need a break.

Has anyone had really sore boobs before ovulating or about 3 weeks after a miscarriage? I have had such a sore chest the past few days and I normally don't have this as a symptom at all and am just wondering what is going on.

xx - I've always heard that cm is the best indicator, so look at when you had fertile cm and when it went dry, and that will help you pinpoint o. I know it's not always easy to tell with lots of bding. Junie's chart is inspiring!
Mars - Don't use fmu for opks (unless they're cb digital which say to use fmu). And restrict your liquid and do a hold for 2 hours before. Even so, mine will fluctuate like yours as peak approaches. I start out testing around lunch, but as peak gets closer I will test at lunch and in the evening.
2boys - Sounds like everything went well! FX for you!
Junie - I get sore after ovulating.
My fertility appt is tomorrow! Hooray!
Well... I got cold feet and haven't tested yet:( I might wait until tomorrow. I'm 9/10 dpo right now and just don't want to feel that devastation of a bfn yet. I'm still having pretty spot on symptoms though. Back ache, achy bbs, headache, moody moody, cm is creamy -stretchy-stringy, cp is high soft and closed, sensitive to smells, slight nausea if I wait too long to eat and so on.... In my head I am pregnant, just not sure I'm ready to burst that bubble with a negative test:/
My husband says I shouldn't worry, we are pretty fertle. This was only our fourth cycle ever ttc. We have two beautiful boys to show from those four attempts and one angel baby, so when he shoots he has had a 100% record of scoring, why would this cycle be different. And add the clomid on top of it all, I hope he is right:)
2boys- so glad you went for it! Sounds like perfect timing, good luck!!!
Blueryedguys- I have age working against me now too, getting old sucks:/
Mars- opk's can be so confusing and frusterating. Mine finally went positive in the evening. The next morning it was still positive, but by two that afternoon it was clearly negative. Had I not been testing 3x a day I would have missed it, good thing I'm a boy mom and obsess over things! It also depends on the brand of opk. I had a dollar tree test positive two days before my ic went positive. The ic didn't turn positive until about 10-12 hrs before I ovulated, so a little window, but more accurate.

Xx- I'm sorry I am no help here. I have never temped and charted, so that is all Greek to me. Are you supposed to have a temp dip at implantation time? Do you physically feel warmer? Right after ovulation I was feeling like I was running hot, I never took my temp though. A couple days ago I was chilled to the bone and couldn't warm up.( that could be because it's freezing here). But I didn't know if you could actually feel or notice the temp changes?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I do feel warmer and my temps have been nice and high- higher than usual in my LP. Today it was 98.94!! I just want to know how many DPO I am and am stuck as what to call O day. I can reason it either the 24th or the 27th. I have had fallback rises occur at 3DPO before so that is why I am stuck.
Thanks ladies! So far I have one vote for the 24th and one vote for the 27th.

Maiden- how are things? Did you O yet?
I would love to see if you agree with Essnce and think I Oed on the 27th or the 24th. I am waiting to see what Atomic thinks as well.
Any other ladies want to give me your opinion? I'll find out soon enough though in retrospect, because I usually get AF 13-14 days after O. I could play it safe and wait to test on the 10th because AF should arrive by the 8th or 9th.
I don't feel pregnant though. With both DSs I had symptoms in the 2ww. That being said, I usually have some PMS symptoms and I don't.

Xx-- You should create an account on Fertility Friend, plug your temps in over there, and see what it says your O day is. Did you do any opks or notice any cm? My cm usually turns dry right before I O.
2boys- Thanks it could definitely mean AF is coming!
I think you O'd on the 24th.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I am going to say the 27th, mainly because I remember you getting a +opk on the 25th. But in your past cycle's do you usually have a couple days of +opk's??
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Essnce- what was the supplement you recommended to take for YI while pg?? (Sorry ladies, completely off subject)
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mars, I'm CD18 today too. I think you are still gearing up to O based on your OPKs. And I only get dark OPKs within a few hours of noon, the rest of the time they are much lighter.
I'm pretty sure I Oed this morning. I had 2 days of almost positive OPKs on CDs 15 &16 then they started to fade again. Neither my CBFM or CBAD ever even went to High (though the tester sticks look like they did). I think my hormone levels are lower off the Vitex. But I had really severe O pain today, with SHOW cervix and EWCM yesterday and today. I attempted about an hour after my O pain started to dissipate. I think I O when the pain starts, which was about 6 hours before my attempt, so I probably attempted too late to catch the egg. I am not testing until 16DPO (which will be 2-4days after AF is due, I have a very variable LP but it's never been longer than 14 days). What a crappy month! :( I am angry with both my monitors. At least next cycle I will BD every 3 days so then I can't possibly miss O.
XX, I still really think you Oed on the 27th and not before. I don't believe secondary estrogen surges do much to predict pregnancy.
2boys, looks like we are O buddies! But your timing was much better than mine.
Queen, if your YI isn't too severe I would try inserting 3 halved large garlic cloves.
Thanks ladies! FF says I Oed on the 27th. How do I link my chart to my signature for you ladies to view? I'm not sure how I do that on here.
So I'm 6DPO. Makes sense. Normally I O much closer to the positive opk, but 48 hours is still within the realm of possibility. I got a positive on the 25th and negatives from the 26th-28th. So I will wait to test then on the 9th or 10th.

Maiden- that stinks [emoji20]. I still hope you caught the egg. If I did O on the 27th I feel better about my attempts. I had two back to back, unexpectedly [emoji4]three days before the 27th, and I feel better about BDing three days later on O day!
Next month I'll be more diligent! DH is starting to feel like letting loose. And I remind him the definition of insanity- expecting different results from the same actions! Let's not do the same BDing pattern as the boys and expect something different [emoji38]!

Well I tested this afternoon..... I should have waited for tomorrow's fmu.
This is 9/10 dpo. I feel like I see the slightest of lines, but that may just be my eyes seeing what they want.

I'm not sure if I see anything Tarasue, but I would test agin tomorrow with FMU
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
tarasue, feel like my eye is catching something but it doesn't seem to have colour so could be an indent. I would wait 2 days then test again. And yes, I only had the one attempt this month. :/ Thank you for well wishes!
XX, thanks for the sympathy, it helps! I'm okay with it though....I don't really want a Scorpio. A late Nov Sagittarius would be preferable. But if I went early I'd still have a chance at a Libra this month...sigh. Your BD is definitely more pink friendly if you Oed on the 27th.
Maybe I should try to get clomid/femara since I HAVE been TTCing a while and I do have an LP that dips below 10 days regularly. I wonder if I should go to my OBGYN or straight to an RE? I'd want to do the medicated cycle the cycle after next, when I plan to BD every day all cycle, and if I can O earlier then I'd reduce my chance of an Xmas baby. Early-mid December is fine, just not the 21st or later!
Well Atomic thinks I Oed on the 23rd or the 24th. She thinks my coverline may be falsely high on FF because my early temps during AF were higher than usual. If that is the case, then I should expect AF on the 6th or 7th. If I Oed on the 27th then AF should come on the 9th or 10th.
Ugh! I really should quit worrying about this already! I just like to roughly know when to expect AF on the off chance I can test to get a BFP.
I wouldn't even care about this, but I almost got sick today from nausea, and I can't get this taste from my mouth! It is probably nothing more than high progesterone, but I can't exercise feeling like this! I'll have to buckle down on the diet and go couch potato for a few days. Hopefully none of this will sway blue! I'm a mess[emoji2]!

Maiden!! Bd every day! Yikes, I'm sore just thinking about that[emoji44]

Xx- I O'd the 23rd or 24th as well. I expect Af the 6th:(. I hate that I'm obsessing over this as well.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Tarasue- if I don't get a BFP this cycle or next, in March we are going to BD everyday from the end of AF until three days after confirmed O. That would be 9-12 days in a row! I feel like pulling out all of the stops because BD every 4, every 3, and every 2 hasn't done the job. This cycle was a combination of every 3 with two days back to back. Hopefully that won't come back to bite me!

LOL tarasue! I used to BD every day before I went on pain meds 24/7 (they really crush my libido and I can't orgasm on them). But that is my normal preference. It will definitely be more effort now, though, considering my lack of libido and pain issues...I need to start exercising bc that boosts my libido! I'm actually more sore now having sex just once a month. It's like I become a semi virgin after a couple weeks!
XX, you are covered either way. I would be able to better gauge O with previous charts to compare side by side. It would also help if you charted your CM and CP. If you DO start testing early it could potentially help confirm when you Oed. I.e. if you get a BFP 8 days after the 24th, you probably Oed then. But I still think the 27th and I've been charting for 13 years.
I am sorry you are feeling so yucky but hopefully it's bc you're pregnant! Your recent temps are very promising indeed.
I am giving my ovary a prep talk and trying to convince it to release another egg, since I am just now having twinges again. Yeah I know it doesn't work that way but I figure it can't hurt! DF is amused.
Yep both XX and I are fed up after over 6 months without any hint of BFP. I've been on the diet for over 14 months with only a 3 month break during which I still ate pretty pink friendly) over the summer. And March is the last month I'm willing to TTC. After that I need a break. I NEED red meat, butter, fish oil and vitamin D.
Tarasue- I see 2 lines. Test tomorrow with FMU and I am pretty sure there will be 2 clear lines :)
XX- I wouldn't worry about anything your doing swaying blue. I'm hoping to see a BFP from you at the end of the week!
maiden- I hope your attempt was perfect timing!
Sage- I'm excited to hear how your appt goes tomorrow!
I think I am out. I am having HORRIBLE cramps. Ugh. I never cramp this far out from AF! Maybe I did O on the 23rd and AF is a few days away.

I'm with 2boys. I take it these are AF cramps you're feeling?, XX?
Junie, what's going on with you? Have you Oed or do you think you will soon?
I CANNOT WAIT to have a cheat! I am thinking a nice burger with bacon would be divine!
