THORZ!!! Omg you need to post a pic! Or did you? I just read this last page, maybe I should read back a bit.

Ladies that think AF is on the way, I'm so sorry. I've been there and it doesn't seem to get any easier the longer you go on, despite my many attempts to make myself numb to it, or plan for af, or try to trick myself with negative or positive thinking, or or or... ;-( all I can say it that SUCKS and I'm here for you, like we all are.

I'm not sure if I'm joining you or not. Forgot to order opk's in time, waiting for more and only have 2 left. Went on holidays and didn't test until CD 13, then only tested once a day until yesterday when I teated twice. It's possible I missed my surge as my surges only last a few hours, and I usually test 3-4 times a day. Temp drop had me convinced and we dtd after 7 day abstain. Then had to switch to a rescue method of hurry up fr, because my temp only rose slightly so I'm not convinced I did o, despite the EWCM and O pains.

Whatever. I'm over it. So we are dtd every night until I get a temp rise I believe in. Or two in a row.

Anyone got a Nexcare 3M digital basal themometer? I got a new one this month but am waiting to use it next month as it reads higher temps (I have to convert to Celsius myself which is annoying, as its in F) than my other one. My other themometer is in C and measures 2 decimal places (Nexcare in F only measures 1) but I really want the louder beep and backlit display of the nexcare. How reliable are they if anyone has one?

I switched to vaginal temping this month which is why my cover line will be higher than other months.

How is everyone tracking?

I'm temping orally, though I just write it down now... didn't feel like paying again for the ff service since all I was using was the temp charting. I have a good 15 hour long lh surge, so using the opk's morning and night work pretty well for me to know when O is.
Good luck this month! :-)

I'm going to POAS tomorrow too, I am just struggling with the idea that I could get a BFP on 8dpo im still skeptical and wont feel like it is real until it is an obvious line that everyone can see in a pic.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad I got AF today! No more waiting, testing and overanalyzing every little pain. It feels good to have a new cycle to focus on. I'm going to start temping again this cycle. That was my biggest stress this last time around...not KNOWING for sure if I O'd or not. Opinions on oral vs. vaginal temping?

Congrats Thorz and good luck to everyone still in the game!

I hear ya BabyGirl. I am out this month too and ready to move on. I have terrible cramps and lower back pain, and my spotting has increased. AF is knocking hard on the door and I am sure she will be making her entrance in the morning. Here's to a fresh new cycle!

I will be keeping up with the thread and look forward to seeing more BFP's this month!! Good luck everyone.

Meeks I have that one. Is it purple? It's my favorite. I had a different one when I misplaced the nexcare one and it sucked.

Yay Thorz! I am so jealous. Sorry Babygirl2013 and TTCPink. I'll be POAS tomorrow, I'll only be 8dpo but I'm inspired by Thorz.

You know ff is free if you just use it to record temping don't you?

I did oral for 5 months and found because occasionally I mouth breathe or sleep with my mouth open, they aren't that reliable temps. Also if I have to talk to anyone (kids over monitor, saying I'm coming when they wake) oral doesn't work. Vaginal is more accurate, easy, and seems quick. Negative is if anyone doesn't realise that themometer is not for mouths!!! Hasn't happened in our house as its labelled 'dirty' but I have heard stories! I don't temp my period after the switch, just from when my af finishes to start of next af.
