Plus I haven't had any spotting after I BF DS2! Usually this late in my cycle the BFing can cause me to spot, because my uterus is very sensitive to the BFing and contracts.

I am on my computer, and I don't see a line 😞. How many dpo are you? Maybe wait 4-5 more days ant test again.
FX and 🙏!!
I'm only 8dpo so it's still too early I hope x
Hooray for willpower, xx!
Keepthefaith, what's the harmony test? Is it bloodwork through your dr?
Keepthefaith I think I see a speck where the pregnancy line would start right at the top so maybe you have a real life squinter that doesn't show in picture :fx:
I caved, I tested and BFN :( :( I was quietly confident that this cycle worked. Maybe I should just be content with my two beautiful boys, do I really need a third?
The heart wants what the heart wants! You are not out until AF shows! I am hoping and praying for you! 🙏Quote:

XX, soooo promising snd I'm so excited for you, as well as glad you will wait to test so we can do so together. :)
Mars, you absolutely deserve a girl and 3 children is not asking for too much, it's far fewer children than most couples had prior to the invention & widespread use of birth control. And like XX said, you feel how you feel and your desires, both for a daughter and another child, are completely normal. Blame it on biology and society, if you want. ;) And fx AF stays away!
My temp dropped back down to my more normal range, but big temp fluctuations are common during my LP. What I find most surprising, notable, and promising, is my continued complete lack of symptoms. Especially the lack of sore nips that I've had every other cycle on Vitex. I'm hoping I continue to feel nothing and that I don't spot at all - the last 2 cycles I've had spotting at 7DPO, and spotting, like cramping, always means I'm not pregnant. All the times I've been pregnant, excluding my ectopic/twin pregnancy in 2012, I had no symptoms at all until 6w at the earliest.
When are you testing maiden?
Kate, shine a light behind it xxx
I ALWAYS spot 2-3 days before AF starts! I am just glad my hormones appear to be balancing out. If AF does come, I feel confident I will end up pregnant soon! I have never had a chart look so good before!
FX!

The 18th most likely, maaaybe the 17th if XX tests then and gets her BFP. Did you attempt this month? If so when will you test? Your chart looks great, especially for your first month temping! I didn't realize we were cycle buddies. :)Quote:

If I am not pregnant, could I be sensitive to good progesterone production? I have seriously been nauseous for five days in a row now! Nothing helps, not eating, not avoiding eating! This happened with DS2 and I lived on Zofran for 28 weeks!
What else could cause this?

Aww thanks mommymachine, I'm feeling the love! It's so thoughtful of you to chartstalk us. :) And O-7 is not completely impossible...though I recall you wanted to wait a cycle or two more before starting TTC.
XX, I haven't personally ever had MS so early, though I did have some other strong pregnancy symptoms starting from 10-14DPO onwards with my most recent pregnancy. It was unusual though due to twins, one being ovarian ectopic, and the fact that the right ovarian cyst was huge and pumping out abnormally high amounts of hormones. Even after I miscarried, that cyst persisted for 6 months, causing all sorts of issues (ovarian pain, wonky cycles), until I went on the BCP to shrink it. So I think it's possible you could have a cyst or two causing elevated P levels & your nausea. Or maybe even just your body adjusting to yoir dropping FSH levels has made you hypersensitive to P, even at normal levels.
Of course, I prefer to assume you're pregnant, possibly with twins, as well as hypersensitive due to the LE diet/the effects of long term swaying, which we KNOW can change our hormones and how we respond to them. :)
Thanks Maiden! The onset coincided with my slight temp dip at 9dpo. Trying to remind myself AF could always show up, and I am sensitive to normal amounts of hormones.
I will definitely test on Saturday with FMU, if AF doesn't come to visit!

They do qualitative blood tests, either negative or positive. The nurse some pregnancy tests are or sensative and more reliable than a qualitative blood test. As long as AF stays away, they will out in another test on the 20th (they are closed the 16th-19th). FX!!Quote:

Missy, Thank you!! It's over 25, they said and it was a qualitative. She want me to come back after the long weekend and retest. I am in South Korea and on using a small medical clinic, so, I only have so many options! Can't really ask for a quant until they prove I am indeed pregnant and having complications. But, I retested the morning and my FRER was darker :) 14 DPO

Thank you all for your thoughts!! FX for sure, that this little bean sticks !
That's a nice line Bre!
Well I've been to the shop, got some chocolate and going to have a couple days of mourning until AF shows which I reckon will be today or tomorrow. Then on to our last attempt where I think we will just go at it like rabbits lol :D
Thank you!!Quote:

Bre, that line is definitely darker, seems you have a strong, healthy embryo growing. I don't think you'll have any more issues with blood work. :) How are you determining O, btw? OPKs, temping, both?
Mars, if I'm not pregnant by late Feb/early March, I.e. if I strike out this cycle and the next, I'm going to either BD every 3 days or just go crazy and try for every day all cycle long, maybe even multiple times in a day when possible. If increasing attempts doesn't work and I'm not pregnant by late March/early April, I will be skipping my next 2 cycles, then I'll try again in late June. If I'm STILL not pregnant, then I won't TTC again until December, and at that point (if June fails) I might go onto IVF with GS, with plans for a FET in December.
The only exception to the above being if I meet a soul mate/romantic life partner or the sperm donor of my dreams, in which case I will BD/inseminate every day, every cycle, until pregnant - but I'll keep all my other sway tactics except Vitex, which I might drop the cycle after next anyway. Or if I had/get clomid to assure early O, I'd do every 3 days next cycle.
I think if you have been doing the diet optimally & strictly for 6+ months, have been doing hardcore exercise daily for at least 3 months, are only on pink friendly or neutral supps/meds (folic acid, aspirin, vitex, metformin, antihistamines etc), if you do a cycle with clomid you can probably get a girl in 90+% cases, regardless of how much you BD.
Wow maiden that's a lot of stuff going on. Fingers crossed you get pg this cycle! I reckon clomid probably does sway girl. I know a few people who have had girls while using that. I don't think i can get my hands on it. I was meant to have an ultrasound and blood work done about 3 months ago but I cancelled and decided to just go with the flow. I am going to get some opks this month. I was going to get them last month but didn't. I really want this next month to be the one!

Maiden, thank you. I was using OPKs. Got my first pos OPK on the 31st, it was almost pos at 8pm on the 30th. We BD'd the 30th,31st,1st. I wanted to temp but my themometer did not arrive until CD 15. My LMP was Dec 9th, so I o'd really late! So, causes me to be slightly more concerned. FX
Bre- I am excited for you and keeping you in my prayers!
Mars- I sure hope that AF is late, and you won't have to try next cycle! FX for you either way- I believe you'll get a BFP!

I keep getting on and off again cramps, since 9dpo that make me question if AF is going to come. She hasn't yet and there is no other indication she will, but these cramps feel strange. Something is going on!
Time will tell! I am honestly ok if I have to try again next cycle. I am more hopeful now after charting that I will get pregnant. Plus, I really want to keep my acupuncture appointment to see what that is all about. It intrigues/speaks to me.
I hope to see some more BFPs!!!

Ok, back to the 2ww:-D I got a really dark opk yesterday around 3:30pm. I am trying to stay positive!
Congrats to all the bfp's!! Seems like it has been a good month.
XX, I remember having dull cramps in early pregnancy so that could be a good sign!!
I am having a hard time logging onto the site. I use my phone most of the time. But when I log in it kicks me right off so I am unable to post a comment. It is really frustrating!!!
Anyways, I am always checking in. I am anxious to see BFP's!!!
Is it possible to o and not have a temp shift right away? I don't understand why my temp wasn't higher this morning. All other signs say I o'ed!
This has happened to me before. What it meant for me, confirmed by US, was that O was delayed. I thought it came early but it was later instead. My dr said that o pains can occur at anytime. I did end up getting a temp shift that confirmed what we saw.Quote:

I thought I was going to get my period at 1:00am. I had bad cramps and noticed brownish cm when I wiped. I even put on a big pad and took 2 Tylenol! Well AF didn't come and my temp is even higher this morning 98.90!! Trying not to get my hopes up 😁😁😁
Has anyone gotten a huge temp shift in the morning and then gotten AF later that day?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I bet AF will show up within the next 2 days. I am just thrown off by my high temp this morning. Usually before AF arrives my temp drops. FF said it can happen. Oh well! I am looking forward to my acupuncture appointment anyway!

I know it isn't completely impossible. But for the life of me I can not find out what the actual percentage of conception would be! It wouldn't be too big of a deal...I just have my heart set on another winter baby. With my temperature spike this morning I am starting to wonder though...
Sounds promising! And I've never had AF come with my temp going higher. It always drops, even if it's a small drop not all the way to the coverline. And I have about 60 of my own charts to look back on!Quote:

I'm only 9dpo but I feel out this month. I have about 15kgs to lose to get back to prebabies weight so thinking I might lose that then try after that. Thinking of starting on vitex, is it ok while breastfeeding??
Only from AF-O. I would be hesitant to take it while BFing though. BFing can make your cycles wonky and the Vitex can make it worse. I would check in with Atomic first, because everyone's situation is different. FWIW, it made my cycles crazy!
You are not out until the Witch comes!
FX for you!!!

I'm still BFing too, though not that much anymore- only 2-3 times a day sporadically. When I took the Vitex, I was BFing 6-8 times a day back in August-September.
