:noaf::fingers: for a BFP tomorrow (and no AF today :D )

I'm in the 2ww now as well (I'm pretty sure I'm 1dpo). I don't know if it is a coincidence but I read some information about syncing cycles with the moon and slept with the blinds open for 3 nights to get the moon/street light in. Normally I sleep in complete darkness so I wonder if that is one reason why my cycles are so long as I read it can delay ovulation.
If I'm not pregnant this cycle I am very curious to try it again next month to see if there is anything to it.
I've heard of that. Even experimented with it back during my marathon TTC with DS#2 when I was trying to figure out how to get my body to O. It didn't work for me BUT my O wasn't delayed or late... my O was AWOL. That's a big reason it took so long to TTC #2! From Jan 2007 when we started TTC #2 until Dec 2009 when we finally conceived I had 4 ovulatory cycles. So there could be some truth to it :shrug:
I'm back! 3dpo. DH was gone the week leading up to O, so I think we caught it just in time if we did. We BD'ed around 2pm and I woke up at 3am Monday morning with severe O pains so we timed it about 12hrs so I really hope that's all it takes! This month has been hard on me. Just starting to feel the frustration. No real symptoms - my nipples aren't as sore as they were last month so that's about it. My dilemma is: my last insurance didn't cover my 21 day progesterone check because my doctors office coded it as infertility (unbeknownst to me). So we paid $105 dollars just to tell me I was ovulating, which I already knew. My new insurance I just picked up yesterday covers $15,000 of infertility so this would be covered, but is it even worth it? I'm just not sure.
Essence - your symptoms sound really promising!! You know your body best and that sounds like a great sign! I'll be stalking to see your BFP!
Two - I hope you're feeling better, and I'm glad you have some time to feel better before O. How was Clomid for you this cycle?
I'm so excited to see more bfps this month! :)
I just looked it up and my last several cycles I O'd under a waning moon or a brand spanking new moon.
March 19: first day of new moon
June 7th: Waning gibbous
July 13: waning crescent- 3 nights before 1st new moon
Aug 12: Last day of waning crescent, night before 1st new moon
and *IF* I O around CD 15 like last cycle I'll still be following that pattern as CD 15 will be Sept 10th which will be a waning crescent moon, 2 nights before the first new moon. I'm curious now if I'll follow the same pattern!! :giggle: It's been a LONG time since I considered the moon cycle-wise. Interesting topic! Thanks for bringing it up :D
I wondered where you disappeared to!! :fx: you caught the egg! Did you just get that one attempt in or more?
This cycle I am still waiting to O as you know, so I am assuming you want to know how it went last cycle?? Last cycle was a dream. O hurt like nothing I've ever felt before without first having been on a surgical table, lol, but I O'd early. I can count on one hand (and don't even need all my fingers) the number of times I have O'd before CD 17, my usual being CD 20+, but I O'd CD 15. Unfortunately, we didn't catch the egg which I was concerned about right from attempt day. My CM was a bit too thick on attempt day. There was a smidge of EW but mostly it was nearly elmer's glue thick CM. This cycle, so far there isn't much to tell. I had 1 killer hotflash a few nights ago and some ovary pinches here and there but nothing much going on just yet. Still spotting from AF (internal only.. there was some spotting on my therm this morning but when I wipe the tissue looks like AF is gone so it's not even coming out) and I'm not sure if I can trust my temps thanks to the bronchitis and this morning's temp was pretty high... So, there really isn't much to tell yet this cycle. I don't know if you saw my update but I prob won't be getting a follicle study this cycle. My ins won't pay for it so I have to pay up front. Since I don't have that much $$ just lying around I'll prob have to skip it this cycle. I am hoping to get my student aid refund next week but they process them on Tuesdays and Thursdays so the earliest I could get it would be CD 13, which is the day they want to do it BUT I usually don't get it until evening AND I'll be in school all day. I don't know if they would work me in on the morning of CD 14 if I have the money or not so we'll have to wait and see how it plays out. I'm dying to know... it was soooo cool to be able to see my giant follicle last cycle and if we would have conceived last cycle... talk about baby's first picture :rofl: So I have my :fingers: that I'll be able to get it but we'll see :)
:fx::fingers::pray: for you!
ETA: I am so jealous of your ins! :giggle: Mine sucks a big one... esp when it comes to specialists and fertility treatments!!
this may sem like a daft question but do you count the day after a positive ovulation test as day one as it says you ovulate between 12-36 hours later x
Since I don't temp I have positive opk, then next day O day,then next day 1dpo. Of course I could be off a day in either direction:)
so i had my positive on the 24th of auguest,that makes me 8 dpo today right?x thanks
Yep:)
