It would definitely be too early for a digital. I don't see a line but I rarely see light ones on my tablet. Plus loads of glare at the moment. Fx it gets darker fast, KTF!

I think it is a bit to early. Test Sunday night.
Fingers crossed!
XX, my feelings are never wrong! And I do have the feeling for you. I told you since you BD. We'll see 😘
Just checking in to see how everyone is doing:) hoping to see loads of Christmas time bfp's!!! My bleeding picked back up after only 3 days of normal cm. I am ~thinking~ maybe my body skipped o and went straight to af. My boobs got sore before the bleeding picked back up and all the aches and cramping feels just like af. My hcg went from 38 to 17 this past week. Hoping this week I am down to zero:) I am tentatively saying I am on cd6, really hoping to o in a week or so! Fingers crossed my opk's work! I think that is what is worrying me the most.
Emotionally it is hard for me to hang around right now:( but I like checking in on you ladies and love love seeing BFP's!!!!!
QueenB3blue- I am hoping that your HCG level goes to zero and you get positive opks soon! I admire your courage and strength- you are an inspiration. I am crossing everything and praying for you! Now we just need a healthy sticky bean 😉!

Queen, I'm there with you. Day 5 for me. Let's get this done this month and start the year with positive news BFP!!!!!
XX took the words from my mouth (she does that an awful lot ;) ), I too admire your attitude and find your strength and courage inspiring - yes, exactly those words. Hoping you O & conceive your rainbow girl ASAP. Fx we share a September DD!Quote:

The discharge has pretty much gone back to creamy, brownish CM. My breastmilk is dwindling, like last month before my BFP. It usually tanks the day before AF. I am trying to remain hopeful. DH and I resolved that conceiving either at the end of January or February would be great, since he has 2 weeks off for Christmas (he is a Principal of an elementary school). Watch, I'll get a BFP now, because I would rather wait!! That is just my luck!
Baby dust to those of us waiting to test and sticky beans for those that have gotten their BFPs 😘❤️❤️❤️!

I really think this is your month maiden!
All of you ladies are so courageous as it's such a mental roller coaster TTC. Pray you all get your Christmas present BFP's xx
I am going to bite the bullet and test with FMU on the 17th, the morning before AF would come at the earliest 😬😬😬! DH wants to know badly and said he would poas if he could 😆! I would rather wait until the 21st, but DH keeps pestering me! Since I am a SATHM, I told him it his his money I may be throwing down the drain! He told me to take a look in my stocking...he put in a box of FRERs and CB Advanced digis! Point taken!!

lol, XX your dh sounds like a real sweetheart. Go ahead and poas before he does! lol
XX, thats suuuperrr! Praying for you!
Haha, nice gift! I hope they'll bring you good news XX!
Ugee, thank you! I hope so! September/Virgo is my second choice (Sagittarius/December my first), but I would rather be pregnant sooner plus I think it's nicer to have a bday in September. Also it seems like cold weather late pregnancy maternity wear is probably really annoying/hard to find.
XX, your DH is such an awesome, thoughtful sounding guy. :) I will test on the 17th with you (if I can hold off testing on the 16th)! Though I'm 6 hours ahead...how early do you get up usually?
Thanks ladies! I am so glad to have found such a supportive group of gals 😊! I don't know why I feel I will be out this time.
Maiden- I usually get up with my boys around 8am, and that is when I'll test. That should work for us!

Hey girls well signs of AF here so counting myself out and hopefully 2nd time lucky on New Years eve! Test this morning must have been evap!! Will enjoy Christmas as best can whilst sticking to diet/exercise! Good luck to everyone still waiting on bfps!
Keepthefaith- if I don't get my BFP this cycle, we will be cycle buddies in January! I am set to O anywhere from 1st-5th!!
I sure hope you get your BFP soon! I know how hard it is to keep on this roller coaster ride of ttcing!

Hope you get bfp Hun but if not you are welcome to join me! Xx

DH was so cute and thinks I should use a FRER tomorrow. Seriously, HE is a total poas addict!!
I hope I am not coming down with something. I am trying not to get my hopes up.

KTF: are you sure about AF? I still hope/think you are pregnant. Did you test again with FMU?

Cycle day 1 here I go again .........
Hey Ladies joining you again. Our sway has officially ended, we just want to get pregnant now and I think I went overboard and lost too much weight tbh. Still skipping breakfast and not going crazy with the amount I'm eating but definitely over on protein and fat most days and have cut to zero exercise. Just had our attempt so assuming I do O tomorrow as predicted 10dpo would be Xmas day. Anyone else expecting to be testing that morning?
KTF, I am so sorry the witch found you. I too will be Oing right at the beginning of January if this cycle doesn't work out. Sending you willpower to deal with holiday treats!
pkdream, welcome!
I ran out of Vitex (didn't realize I was almost out, and I get it from the UK which can take 2 weeks). I really hope stopping Vitex suddenly doesn't upset anything. On Monday I will see if I can find some substitute in the interim. I have also been almost snacking. I've been really hungry and eating like 4 meals instead of my usual 2-3. Definitely not always fasting overnight for very long, either. This is never a problem unless Im actively TTC, grr. Early this am I was literally shrieking from the sharp stabbing on my right ovary. I do typically get ovarian pain all cycle long these days, though!
I'm so sorry KTF!! I hope next cycle is your BFP cycle!!

Hello ladies. This is our 5th cycle TTC pink. I am worried and frustrated since it only took us 3 cycles TTC DS. I know 5 cycles is still perfectly normal but it's in my nature to worry and try to solve any potential problems (typical boy mom?!).
This cycle I started Vitex. Pos OPK on CD 13 and 14. DTD on CD10 and CD14. 9DPO I started getting small traces of blood in CM. Tested and BFN. Tested yesterday evening on 10DPO and BFN. This morning there was a bit of blood when I wiped and since brown discharge. Temp is still high.
I don't want to test again until I am late to avoid disappointment.
Can Vitex cause spotting, anyone with experience?
GL to everyone!!
Welcome happy1981! I can relate to how you feel- we are on cycle 5 too! DS1 was a OHW, and DS2 only took 2 cycles.
I took Vitex 400mg of Nature's Way brand 2X a day from AF-O, and I had spotting. Very light like what you mentioned and on the exact same CDs the first cycle I took it. The second cycle I took it, I had actually spotting from CD8-CD15 until I stopped taking it. I no longer take it, since it has that effect on me. I am very sensitive to herbs and medicine in general though.
GL and I wish we all get our BFPs soon!!

Happy, I think this was your implantation. So test again in 2-3 days :-)
Happy, this is also my 5th cycle TTC so I know how you feel. I don't usually spot during my LP on Vitex (though it's common), but I spot up until CD10+ on it which is really annoying since my AF is usually 3 days.
I had some EWCM today. Just a bit, but I've NEVER had EWCM so far after O before. Maybe stopping the Vitex? Trying not to pregnancy symptom spot!
Hey ladies. Just a quick one, I tested and a BFN so I reckon I'm out. AF is due around the 16th so I'll see but I would be ok with not being pg this month.
I'm sorry Mars, fx AF stays aways. You have a great attitude.
Mars, I admire you. So strong. Buuut, still be positive. It might come a BFP instead of AF.
XXforhubby:
Thanks! What made you try Vitex?
MyByC:
I hope so! of course the timing of the spotting makes me think implantation and with DS I was spotting and bleeding before I got a BFP. Still. I'm thinking it's probably due to the Vitex. I will test again on CD 14 if no AF.
Maidentomother:
How long have you been on Vitex? I'm keeping my fingers crossed this is our month!
Few of us ready to join a January 2ww in few weeks hun xQuote:

I spotted on Clomid before AF with 5 days..I know nothing about Vitex.
Happy1981- I tried Vitex because I wasn't getting positive opks while nursing. As it turned out, the Vitex messed up my cycles more than if I had just waited. Oh well, live and learn! I am still nursing but only 3-4 times a day now instead of 6-8 like I was 4 months ago when we first started to ttc.

So AF arrived! Thanks ladies for your kind words but really I am ok with this as I was looking forward to drinking plus my diet has been terrible and I need to loose some weight only a couple kilos but still it's making me feel yuck! I've also got a huge couple weeks of work ahead so I will be chatting with some of you in the Jan 2ww. Funny that I should O around NYE lol. my husband will be happy with that!
Sorry to hear that Mars, but it sounds like you are taking it well. I may O around my anniversary, which is the 3rd. My DH will be happy about that too!!

Mars, so sorry AF came. But like you said, maybe it's for the best and next month will give you a better shot at a girl. Personally, I'm a big believer in fate.
happy, I started taking Vitex in February of this year, took it for almost 5 months, then took a sway break over the summer until starting it up again in September. I had been on it almost exactly 3 months when I Oed this cycle. If you're interested I can link to my charts and you can see the difference between Vitex and non Vitex charts.
XX, I love your quote! I am a HUGE Wharton fan.
Maiden- we seem to have a lot in common! I had a thought about the O pain we are still having. I bet it is the Corpus Luteum churning out ample progesterone. I don't usually get this so I hope it is a good sign that my hormones are FINALLY getting back to normal again.
FX for us ladies waiting to test, either BFP or opk.
