Forgot to say, maxim that sounds positive, hope your o comes soon!
As for me I'm 99% sure I'm out this time, temp down again today and I've just started spotting with af cramps, exactly as usual. I'm ok about it though as I need to get back on the diet after having a good few weeks off and putting on quite a few lbs [emoji33]

Maxim-or....as you mentioned, maybe you were gearing up to O and didn't...maybe that would explain the test getting darker, but not positive? There was def a spike from CD12 to 13, so not sure if that means anything??
My Ovulation Chart
Mummy-have you POAS just in case? Hope AF stays away, but at least you have a positive attitude about it...maybe you will feel more confident after being on the diet a little longer!

Max living in NYC would be insane! I live in the middle of fields lol! Hope you O soon your getting close to your normal cd17 right?
Iwant4kids numbers going up is good right? Did your work trip get cancelled? [emoji122] for little bean to show! I'm going to be so nervous for you Wednesday.
Mummy... booo I don't like bfn! But I do understand the diet part. I tell myself every time "if I don't get a bfp my sway will be stronger" pbn has said before that not getting pregnant is part of the girl sway because that's basically what your doing is reducing fertility.
Sky, pbn, Lola how's everyone feeling?
AFM I am feeling tiny bits of cramping here and there. Barely noticeable unless I'm setting!! Hope this means implantation [emoji120]

Thanks ladies! My temp was low on CD12 because I woke up without covers and it was cold in the room, so I don't think that it was quite accurate, but I recorded it anyway on my chart. I don't believe I've O'd yet as my temps post O are always over 98.0 degrees, but maybe since I'm temping vaginally this time my temps could be different??
Ash-I'm noticing mild cramps today too! I think you're ahead of me & it may be too early for implantation for me, BUT maybe something's going on in there?? Fxfxfx!
Check out this implantation calculator I stumbled upon. Kind of cool [emoji41]

Who's next to POAS? Haven't looked at any squinters lately!! I'm going to attempt to wait until Wednesday!!! Ash-I know you have those frer's ready lol!!! Should we place bets on how long you'll hold out j/k 🤣 I thought that my huge bag of wondfos would satisfy my urge to POAS, but since I know they're not as sensitive, if it's a BFN...then I always want to pull out a frer and end up wasting it anyway [emoji854]
My Ovulation Chart
lol Lola I bought 25 wondfo hcg and I only have 4 left from last cycle [emoji12]. I really want to wait until Tuesday but more than likely will pull one out Wednesday. Weekends are usually a good distraction with ball games and this Sunday I'm planning a shopping trip (have to drive an hour and a half to get to some good stores) so I think I can successfully hold off until Monday. I'm just so scared to see a bfn and be disappointed. I feel like I'd almost rather wait until Wednesday and be disappointed once rather than multiple times...

Maxim, I think you're right...prob haven't o'd yet. Everyone may be different, but I do think your temps will be higher if that's how it typically is, even with switching to vag temps. Did you try the digi yet?
My Ovulation Chart
I'm not sure I like that thing Lola lol it says don't test until wayyyy to late for me [emoji23][emoji23]. I think I will play it be ear and see what my temps do and if I have any symptoms.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
I cannot wait for you guys to test!!
Lola, I did test with the digi yesterday and day before and just got the open circle, so negative....
And my ff did change putting me at 5dpo today so I'm sticking to it
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Wow Ash-I think that makes 4 of us at 5dpo!!!! And rofl, agreed...don't like anything that tells us to test later 🤣Distraction is good!! The in-laws are coming to stay with us tonight & we have a bday party...so that should help! I know what you mean...I thought testing early helped me ease into accepting the BFN, but really I just wasted a bunch of tests & I was disappointed over & over again ugh!
Maxim-glad you're using the digi! I'd still stick with the e4d plan if you can.
My Ovulation Chart
OMG just used the bathroom and this is tmi sorry!! There was a TON of cm in my undies (haven't had dh in there for a while) and when I wiped it away and checked it out (I even had a very vivid dream about looking at tp to check for blood 🤢) THERE IS A TINY TINGE OF RED!!!!!!! implantation spotting [emoji15] possibly!! I have NEVER noticed this with any other pregnancies but I've also never been so in tune with my body and known what to watch for!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Sounds good Ash!!! I can't wait to see the tests!!!
Ash-so excited to see your test next week! Your chart looks good & everything sounds promising!! I'm so nervous to test!! I feel good about my attempts etc, but guarded since this is my 4th cycle ttc! I start to wonder if it will ever happen & if there's something wrong! With 4 of us at 5dpo, that's just crazy...good things are bound to happen [emoji4]

Thanks Lola and Shan now I'm even more nervous to test since I've built myself up [emoji37]

My dd is unwell. So havebn on mommy duty. Will be busy with her for a couple of more days.
I am so excited for everyone Lolla, ash, Pbn, myself and Max.
Iwant4kids- Sending positive vibes for your appointment. Keep us posted. Fx
Lolla - thanks for thinking about me. I am doing ok. Not trying to read too much atm into things. Hope this is our month. Fx.

Ash - Fx. That sounds promising.

Glad to hear from you sky! Sorry DD isn't feeling well :( I see you have crosshairs now yay!

Lola here we go .... week by week
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Made a plan to get my poas urge out of me!! I'm going to start with an opk tomorrow!! Dr google says they can get darker once hcg starts showing up sooo since I have a lot more opks I'll waste those instead
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Seriously this boredom on a Friday night because my husband got called out to an accident makes me want to eat everything!!! And post a million times here thinking it will pass the time [emoji51]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
LOL...Ash. I am in the same situation. I am sitting at work, bored, and trying to pass the time. Does not help the ms when I have nothing to do but sit here and try not to puke.
I really have my FXd for all of you!!! It HAS to mean something that all of you are the same DPO!!!
Did u POAS Ash. We need some action. I mean the opk sticks like u planned. [emoji4]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Ash I love that!! Update with pics please! I am so hoping that I'm right behind you by a few days...
Quick tmi question. I am having what I *think* is EWCM today, but can't be 100% sure since we BD last night. EW stretches, sperm won't...right?! Do I record it as EW on FF? I did, but will take out if it's not the right way to do it so it doesn't pick up the wrong things when I finally do O.
Ugh Shan it's the worst! I generally have a bunch of sewing orders to do or ballgames or practices to go to but everything has been rained out and I don't live in a town with stuff to do on weekends and I just want the next few days to fly by!!
Max I have read somewhere that EWCM will stretch but sperm quickly snaps back.
Pbn we need you [emoji25] I miss you!!! How are you feeling?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Love your plan Ash! Maybe I should use up all of my OPKs too!
Maxim-ewcm is stretchy & clear and sperm is white & cloudy...not sure about the stretchy part though. It sounds like ewcm, so I think it would be perfectly fine to record it in ff. I had it for about 4 days around O!

Opk #1 super light but gotta have something to compare tomorrow's to right?? [emoji23]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
True 🤣🤣. So what's the reason behind using opk again?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Hi all! I'm here Ash just been busy :) plus I'm a party pooper when it comes to symptom spotting 😂😂
Sky with the opk thing, you'll get a pos opk if you're pregnant but not before getting a pos on a hpt, it's really just a way to pass time and deal with the poas itch 😂 I've done it many cycles to get past the early early days 😂 the two hormones lh and hcg are kinda twins but where opks can pick up hcg, hpts don't recognize lh....
Maxim - Unfortunately, it does not mean there is a baby. With a blighted ovum your HCG keeps going up as there's a placenta and everything there should be, except the baby. Hope you O soon.
Lola - thank you! Yes, cannot wait to be out of limbo land.
Mummy2boys - Thank you! Glad your son is okay too!
Ash - Numbers are good, but still could just be a typical blighted ovum. My work trip has been postponed for 24 hours :) YAY This is amazing because I was going to miss my son's 6th birthday. We were just going to celebrate early as he only knows the date if we tell him, but now we don't need to and I won't have mummy guilt.
Wohooo for possible implanation spotting!!! I had it with my 1st.
Sky - Thank you. Hope your DD is okay!
Pbn3 - Busy is good in the TWW
AFM - I'm worried I'm rushing the D&C. After reading about misdiagnosed miscarriages, it's possible I need to wait another week....but for me, it's almost 1.5 weeks and then I feel like I'm delaying things more. I am a teacher and I'm replacing someone else on maternity leave. Each year my contract is renewed. (from Jan - Dec). If I'm pregnant at the end of the year, my contract won't be renewed. So I need to have a baby as close to Dec/Jan/Feb as possible. I'll just have to wait and see on Wed.
Well hubby and I talked about when yo test I told him I'd like to wait until Wednesday because it'd either be yes or no and I was honestly hoping he'd say no so I could give in earlier. But I offered to pee in a cup and let him dip the stick and do the test! I thought he'd be grossed out but he agreed!! So that's my set plan that won't be changing [emoji4]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Iwant4kids will you be near 8 weeks next scan? That's usually when they can for sure see baby by right? Still praying baby shows!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Iwant4-I don't blame you for not wanting to rush things and know 100%! I agree with Ash, by 8 weeks they should be able to see either way. I also have a tilted uterus and with an internal u/s at 8 weeks, we were able to see DS1. Praying sooo hard that baby is there!!!! There are many stories with happy endings!
Ash-lol, so you're going to test with DH on Wed...at least that will help you wait! Wouldn't that be an awesome moment for you to get your BFP with DH being a part of it!!! Fxfxfx!!!!
So, the in-laws are in town & it has been busy!! They watched the boys so DH & I could go on a nice dinner date. Now we're headed to my niece's 1st bday party. I got her a toy, but of course I also had to get her the cutest dress & matching bow lol. I really need my DD this time!! I stepped on the scale & I've lost several lbs. I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but I'm petite & my weight doesn't really fluctuate. It's not water weight b/c I've been drinking crystal light all morning. I'm worried that I've taken the LE diet to far & maybe that's why I'm on cycle 4 ttc. I never intended to lose weight, but wondering....
My Ovulation Chart
Lola I've lost about 5lbs and had been weight lifting and running a lot so I was taking my measurements every so often. I really wanted to remeasure last night because I feel like I'm larger but have lost weight. So I guess I'm doing it right if so. Loosing all my muscle ☹️
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Reading all of your messages and feeling excited. I am on DPO 4. Overall I am not feeling positive about my this month attempt. I feel I messed up with Beding. Still praying for a son, I really need one.
Thinking of you Iwant4kids and fx so tight that your scan shows a little bean. This has been such a stressful 6 weeks for you :(
Mummy2boys have you started testing yet???!!!!
Lola, Ash and Sky big group hug!!! Nearly there 😀😀 I'm going to be stalking charts over the next three days! Ash I love your idea for involving dh in testing, so sweet he's keen to be a part of it ❤ Lola when are you testing?
Fx Sumbal!!! Can you post a screenshot of your chart every few days?
Well dh finally brought up using protection yesterday. I told him I didn't want to go on the pill and that either he could get the snip (which he said no 😂) or we start using condoms. So there may be no NTNP after all. I'm honestly ok with that and if I could dont end up with a miracle bfp next week then I'm going to make sure he pulls down the cot in our room. I'm then going to sell or giveaway all my baby stuff which will be sad :( but needs to be done.
Sumbal I hope you get your bfp this cycle even better your boy I honestly don't feel any different to very confident either i have everyday symptoms. Tired, sore bbs, spotting could have just been who knows what, felt a bit nauseous this am but skipping breakfast doesn't settle well with me.
Pbn I hope you get your miracle slip! You should make him be the one responsible for the condom purchases. Hehe
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Good evening! It's been a whirlwind day at the birthday party etc!
Sumbal-you are not far behind us! Sure hope you get your son!
Ash-maybe I've lost muscle weight too...we're on the right track then. I'm not really feeling any different this cycle either. Guess I'm going to try not to read too much into things.
Pbn-I'm going to attempt to wait until Wed. I think I can do it this time b/c I just disappointed myself over & over again last time. What about you?? Don't like to hear that you had "the talk" but glad you're feeling ok about it. Hope you get your little surprise & then it won't be an issue!!! Agree with Ash, have DH buy the condoms & he'd have to be responsible for remembering to use them in the moment lol.
