Welcome
I think I'll test on Friday. Trying not to test early this Monty for once. ;)
Temp drop for me today. I think I'll see if it raises tomorrow; if so I'll test.
Good luck meanveggiegal, foxtrotmama, and Robin2014!
I'm 7 dpo today. Having typical pre af symptoms. We'll see. This whole 2ww thing is torture!
3dpo today for me, FINALLY. I'm not very hopeful this cycle considering I ovulated on cd 57 [emoji51]! I've seen quite a lot of people get a BFP this late though.

My Ovulation Chart
My temps are still up. I'm waiting to see if it drops in the morning. If it doesn't, I'll test. I'll be 13dpo (I think) so it should be a pretty obvious bfp if I am pregnant. I'm still not feeling it though. I am definitely taking a cycle off after this. I'm not a fan of the progesterone at all. FX for everyone! MeanVeggieGal, I hope your temp jumps up tomorrow!
Good luck meanveggiegal and momamia4 hoping the next few days brings you both bfps. Fingers crossed for you too XX and katt2275. I am 3 dpo today too (I think as I don't temp) so hopefully the 2ww goes quickly for both of us XXforhubby.
Wow great news for all you ladies! So excited to hear test results!!
I saw a psychic today. It was a fun party at my gf house where she had a well known psychic come. She saw me becoming pregnant soon with a girl. She said my family will be 4 kids. 2 boys 2 girls. I almost died. It renewed my faith in all this even if it was just bologna!
It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Are you testing today moma!? 😃

Fx momamia!
Massive temp drop all the way down to coverline. I'm anticipating af in a few days. Good luck everyone! I'll be taking a cycle off and maybe the one after that since it'll be the holidays. Thanks for all of the support. It is very much appreciated! :)
My temps dropped again too 😳. I'm sure AF is on her way.
Good luck ladies!
Sorry MeanVeggieGal! :(
Oh no! Guys keep your heads up! Might not mean anything...
Not out until AF shows!
I'm hoping and praying she stays away!

Thanks moma. Sorry for you too. 😢 I hope you enjoy the break from TTC. Maybe we'll be cycle buddies again with better results!
Thanks Robin! Good pep talk 😊
Drat! I can't stay away a couple days without a half-hour of catch-up reading! Moving over here because there's no sense in testing today.
So sorry about the bad news. Momamia, you will be missed! I hope your TTC break is rejuvenating and that your holidays are filled with family love.
And MeanVeggieGal your chart looked so good in earlier posts! Robin's right, you're not out until AF shows.
As for me - a dip below coverline today, and a smidgen of light brown spotting. I'm just not worrying about it. Thinking I might hold out until 18dpo/day 31 to test (I haven't had a 31 day cycle in years). I'm being ridonkulously cheap with my HPTs so would rather not waste one on a BFN. Plus, DH said he wanted to be there to see the results (reading only, not for the peeing part!). We'll see if he can actually get up in time for FMU!
Crossing every digit for all the ladies here! C'mon BFPs!
goodluck everyone! Im 8dpo today. Crossing my fingers I can get past the next 2 days without AF showing. I am so over this 9-10 day luteal phase ruining everything. I have tried quite a few different things this month including dropping breastfeeds. Nervous about taking iron & zinc supps before I found out that my levels were actually ok. Happy that we BD every 4days &one ended up being at +opk. A little sad that I have had to reduce my breastfeeds from 3 to 2 a day to see if that helps lower my prolactin & raise my progesterone. Fingers crossed everyone!
Fx for you A Mad Swayentist! Kc15880 - I'm 8 dpo today too, and I've also had a short lp lately. Fx for both of us! [emoji4]
I am 8dpo today too :) fx everyone!
When are all you ladies testing??!! So exciting!!

I still have a week until AF is due. So I was thinking this weekend maybe!
Awesome can't wait to hear everyone's results!
I'm currently on Cd12 and I am pretty sure I am going to o either today or tomorrow.
Digital gave a flashing smiley this morning.

I'm 14 DPO. No AF yet. I suspect she'll show up tomorrow like clockwork. Spotting yesterday and slightly today (per usual this time of my cycle). My temps almost to my cover line this morning, so she's most definitely on the move. 😏
FX and GL Robin!!!
MeanVeggie Gal- I hope AF stays away!!!
AFM I guess I'm 5 DPO according to my FF app but since I didn't ovulate until CD17 or CD18 it put me at a 32 day cycle. However, on my Ovia app it still has me a 28 day cycle so I'm confused about that. I'm also trying my hardest not to symptom spot but it's really hard lol! Also, for those who are doing cardio are you keeping up with it during the TWW? I'm just so unmotivated now...
Having a tiny bit of pink spotting, so I think af is almost here. [emoji20] That puts my luteal phase at 8 or 9 days at the most. Have any of you had success with lengthening your lp? I've heard of progesterone cream. Can that be bought over the counter?
No advice but I was the same this cycle, 9 day lp. No idea what's going on!

Thanks Ahorn but she's coming. It's cool. Nov will be month 3 TTC so I figured it may take a few months (hopefully not much longer).
Katt - I use maca powder to raise my progesterone levels. I believe it may lengthen your LP, but I'm not positive. Maybe try researching it to see if it does? It has most certainly raised my post ovulation temps from the previous month.
Starting femara tonight. Hoping we can catch an egg this month! Anyone else taking femara?

9dpo & some cramping tonight. I am already so depressed at the thought that AF is coming again. I have felt reasonably positive this month but it just so hard trying to get past 9-10dpo. I know Im not out until AF shows but it is getting harder each month to stick to the LE diet during the 2ww. Any suggestions?
CD1 for me
KC- what is your BD schedule like? I am betting you are ovulating much later than you think you are. I found that when I really paid attention during my 2ww I was absolutely ravenous the day of or day before ovulation..I thought of course I had already ovulated but in fact knowing what I know now I had not as my dates were off 2-3 days. Come to find out it's actually pretty common for pink moms (so I'd assume pink swayers too) to have spikes in their hunger at or during ovulation...probably to do with the normal LE lifestyle and your body trying to ramp up everything it needs on such a restrictive diet.
I'd imagine even someone who ovulated fast when they got their boys would have a delay in egg release on the pink diet. An example as a pink mom..two pregnancies now I ovulated 3 days after my solid smiley face. With DD3 I had a positive Friday night but her dates show her conceived on Sunday night Monday morning.. with DD4 I had a positive OPK at 12 am Wednesday and still didn't ovulate until Saturday morning it seems. Watch for those hunger spikes and see if they correlate with a temp rise or fertile CM because depending on your Bd schedule you may be missing the egg. And I know sperm can live for days but that's just it.. not every mans sperm WILL live that long and it's impossible to know what's going on inside our bodies in regards to that knowledge
I had regular blood tests through this cycle & it confirmed what I already knew. I have really strong ovulation signs each month (drop in breastmilk supply, tender nipples, flat open cervix, ewmc at +opk), then the next day I always get bad cramping which would have to be ovulation. Im ovulating around CD19/20 each month. My problem at the moment is a 9-10 day luteal phase. Im trying a few things to extend it but nothing has worked so far.

MeanVeggiegal, I'm sorry af has arrived.
Kc15880 - fx for you! I'm dealing with the same issue with my luteal phase.
Af has arrived today for me too, so CD1 here again. I'm going to come up with a new game plan for this cycle.
Awweeeeee no sorry katt!Quote:

Lol!
I got a more positive opk today.. but still not a solid smiley (which means not peak day of ovulation yet) so I'm just going to continue on DTD everyday!
I just went back and read the thread "how we made our girls " and lots of those woman did diet and DTD everyday.. or just lots of times around "O".
I don't know if my plan is solid but I feel confident knowing I am trying everything I can this time around.
Also I 100% know my boys were made with DTD every other day. Never have we DTD everyday And of course diet has changed dramatically.

So even when you get a solid smiley.. it could still be days away from o?Quote:

Solid smiley can be anywhere from 24-48 hours before O as a general rule, and then many times there are exceptions where people get that first solid 48-72 hours before!
