I'm 14dpo and despite a tiny bit of spotting and low temps, af has not shown up yet. I tried to take a frer this morning and it was faulty. The one and only time I've ever peed right on the stupid test and it was broken! :/ So, I'm not sure what the heck is going on. Do you think a frer would still work with second morning urine? I don't feel like af is here at all. What do you think? I'll post my chart.
Momamia, I think it depends. For example I have never got a positive pregnancy test before cd 14 with any of my pregnancies. With dd I got a very weak positive at cd 14, with ds2 I got stark white negative at cd 14 not using first urine and then a positive cd 15 with first urine. For me a test not using first urine at cd 14 would not work but when have you got positives before? If your like some ladies on here that get positives at cd 10 then maybe for you it would. What is the harm in trying?
Hope xxforhubby looks at your chart, looking at it I would not be hopefully, sorry for that but am not good about reading them and I think temperatures can be unreliable, I will post my chart later so you can compare, I want xxforhubby to have a look at it as well. Mine looks quite different to yours but am only cd 12. Could you maybe have ovulated later than you thought? Am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and me! X
Girlieplease, I didn't get a positive hpt with my last miscarriage until 13dpo. With my miscarriage last year, I got a faint bfp at only 6dpo!! I didn't keep track of days with my other pregnancies when I was younger but I know I was always late for my period before I would test. I definitely don't have my hopes up for being pregnant this cycle. I just don't understand why af hasn't started when my temps have been low for so many days.
Yeah Girlie, so happy AF still hasn't arrived for you. What a great sign! I will be living vicariously through you and waiting for Friday to see what it shows.Quote:

I am staying realistically optimistic and holding on to hope until I see a BFN. Hope is all we have in the 2WW.
So Momamia's question on first morning urine made me think...I get up every night lately to pee at around 3am, then go back to bed. Will my urine at 7am be good to use or should I use the 3am urine? I will do my best not to go at 3am on test day, but not likely even though I go right before bed too.
Moma- can't hurt to try with not first morning, but you could also wait till tomorrow because either way, no matter what not first morning says, you will still want to confirm with tomorrow's first morning.
momamia, did you try the FRER?
I'm a ways off from the TWW but I'm CD2 so I'm finally in my first attempt cycle! I feel so behind, lol.
Yes, the frer was bfn. I anticipated that though.
Attachment 32948 My chart hope you guys can see it, any thoughts?
I think it means the first urine after your longest sleep, doesn't mention anything about pee breaks on my Clearblue test box lolQuote:

I broke down and called my RE's office. He said to wait until I'm 6wks passed the first day of my last period which would be the 12th of Sept. If I haven't started a period by then, he wants me to come in for an ultrasound. I really hope I'm not in limbo for that long! That would really suck! :/
Momamia- Ugh. Being in limbo sucks! Looking at your chart, you didn't have today's temp below the coverline. Either AF will start, or your temp should rise back up tomorrow. If your temp doesn't rise tomorrow, then AF should begin. That being said, my DS2 was a slow cooker. My temp never dipped below the coverline, but it didn't get what I would call triphasic high until I was 28dpo. Hang in there! I hope you get answers soon!!

Girlieplease- I think you ovulated on CD18 making you 13dpo today. I would think you could test tomorrow morning! I think your chart looks promising!
FX for you too!!

Or you could have ovulated on CD21. If tomorrow is a BFN for you Girlieplease, then I would test again in 3-4 days.

Darn, maybe my excitement was a tad premature! Thanks xQuote:

Sperm hangs around for a while so wether you ovulated on cd 16 or cd 18 i think sex from cd 15 is what got you pregnant IF you are..
up to you wether you are brave enough to test today! wether hubby has it right or my guess is right you would be far enough into it by now a test would be positive...and generally you have HCG in your blood and pee *IF* you are pregnant and have a short LP and dont get your period its because HCG is stopping it. So id say a test should be pretty accurate today, but you wouldnt be totally out until a test friday is negative. imo.
Looks promising to me girlieplease! Got everything crossed xxx
Thanks for all the replied I really appreciate the input we had sex on the pm of cd 16 and then again on am of cd 19. So timing wise maybe not great. I did not get a static on the digital OPK until cd 18, i though perhaps the temp spike after cd 16 was just an outlier, random spike that was throwing ff of. I think I will wait until Friday to test, that is 14 days after my attempt, when I think I ovulated, I have never ever got a positive before cd 14, so the long I wait the better and maybe af show up before then and I won't need to bother.
Just had a call from the infertility place, they have a few cancellations, they wanted to offer me, one for tomorrow and two for next week. I could go tomorrow but they want my husband to attend and he has clinics booked that he cannot cancel at such short notice. Why is life so complicated.she said if I could not make appointment for next week, itwoukd be October, maybe that would be better. Just know if af arrives the next few days am going to want an appointment next week but husband will not be pushed to cancel his clinics, what would you do if you were me?
Thank you, I had hoped so but am feeling less positive now. Don't think my attempts were as well timed as I hoped. You don't have the links for the nice guidelines on secondary infertility? A friends has asked me for them and she has tried searching, I will look in work tomorrow but thought if you could point me in the right direction I could forward the information tonight, thanks, hope you and bump are keeping well xQuote:

Girlie if your other children are your husbands I would tell the infertility place you will take the appointment for tomorrow or next week but he can't make it. He can always go in on his own time but don't see what a sperm analysis on him will do much of if he already has a well established history of impregnating you. They should understand that. A clinic here would but I can't say 100% for you there.
Besides I got the feeling you may be cancelling an appointment too with them ;)
Momamia - that limbo sucks.
Over in the UK if you've had repeated mc, or 1 or more ectopics you can self refer to the EPU....that's at 6 weeks too.
Which I feel is so long to wait, but I guess noting would show on the ultrasound.
Girlie - keeping my hopes high for your BFP
Fingers crossed for you girlieplease, really hope you have good news soon. Eagerly awaiting any update :fingers:
Af came for me today. :( I'm due to ovulate around the 17th though, so I should be back here in the September 2ww in a few weeks. Good luck to everyone. I'm going on keep checking in here, and I hope to see some bfps soon! :)
Girlieplease, I would make the appointment and then say he couldn't make it at the last minute. DH didn't go to a single fertility appointment with me as it was just to difficult to organise him to get away from work. They didnt have any issues with not seeing him and the dr didn't want to make him do an SA as he had got me pregnant 4 times at that point and had good results with previous ones.
& Im out :( AF came today & now I have to cancel our holiday that I was taking the kids on as hubby wasnt coming with us & it is when I should O next :(
Sorry Katt and kc15880. Af came for me too today.
so glad to have all of you here to chat about this, otherwise I would feel so alone. this journey is much easier with all of you!
Bummer AF showed Katt, KC, and Momamia [emoji20]! You are right KC, this is so much easier having someone to talk to about this!
AFM- I'm waiting to O. I finished my last dose of Clomid yesterday, so I'm going to wait to use opks until tomorrow. I know it may be too early, and I'll keep testing anyway. I just don't want to miss my surge! My birthday is Saturday, so we will keep up either E3D or E4D plus another attempt at pos. Opk. It just depends on how things shake out.
FX we see some more BFPs soon!!

Sorry to hear AF arrived Matt, KC and Momamia. So disappointing. Take care of yourselves today.

Sorry KC, Katt and Momamia. If AF finds me this month I will ever very upset so I understand how you might be feeling.
:( sorry Katt, Momamia, and kc.
I hate the 2WW!!! It is exhausting wondering if the twinges are AF coming or baby making itself at home in there. I want nothing more than to just ignore them all but it is impossible not to notice something you feel. The first week was great, but midwalk through week two (10dpo) and I am losing my patience and positive attitude. I also fear going to the bathroom now, afraid to find AF has crushed my dreams once again. Still waiting till 13-14dpo to test though...
Okay, end rant. Sigh...
100% agree with this!!!Quote:

12 dpo is usually the day I start spotting so dreading what tomorrow will probably bring x

Same here! I'm only 5 dpo but I'm always symptom spotting. Even though now having TTC for months I know more of the symptoms don't mean anything. : ( Ugh so hard.

Fingers crossed for those waiting!
Dropping by to vent: for the last two cycles I've ovulated on CD 14 (28 day cycles). Now I'm using OPKs for the first time, and it's frustrating. Right now I'm on CD 14, I had a bit of EWCM yesterday, but no positive OPK yet. I really want to do just one attempt, and I also really don't want to miss attempting this month because I hate the LE diet to the depths of my soul.
Hoping ovulation is on it's way before I lose my mind more than I already have lately...:p
I agree with you ladies, the 2ww is sooooooo frustrating. I am dpo 13, planning to test tomorrow. I don't know why but I feel more disheartened today, maybe it's the possibility of getting a stark white negative tomorrow? I said if I got passed dpo 12, testing would not bother me and am past that. I think it is slightly unclear when I ovulated so goodness know what day I am. I have lots of symptoms but I have had these before and af has arrived. I booked the appt at the infertility place for next week, so at least if af arrives I am doing something. Temps are still high so still a chance.
What are you guys doing in the 2 ww re exercise, I have really reduced I think I have exercised twice since Friday. Diet has slipped massively, I took a prenatal today and had three meals instead of two.
Sorry to those that af arrived, it is just a disheartening experience, plenty of wine and chocolate helped me.
Keep everything crossed for me for tomorrow, 9 hours to testing and counting x
What the actual heck, ff is now saying I ovulated cd 29? And am only 3 dpo? This is crazy am cd 32, I have only had that long a cycle on three occasions and it was because I was pregnant!
This sums it up so well !Quote:
