XX- I just saw you are only 9 DPO if the 27th was your O date. Now if you test and get 2 lines you know you probably Od earlier, but if you test and get a negative it doesn't mean anything. I can totally understand waiting until the weekend!

[Junie]

Haha you just posted XX. WAY too early. Almost no one gets lines at 9DPO -even really pregnant people I won't believe it until AF comes.

XX- I would just say testing this morning ruled out the possibility of the earlier o date! 9 dpo is early. I know I have seen you say it yourself
Your temps still look great!

Yeah, we will see. I may now wait until AF would be late and test on the 11th. I just hate getting a BFN and refuse to waste a FRER on what I feel is a lost cause. Even though we keep trying, I am getting to the place, more and more often, where I just want to be done already. I got my 2 awesome boys, and I am fine with that. Honestly, how many times am I willing to bang on a door that is not being answered? I am starting to see that it may not be meant to be, and I am feeling at peace with that.

I am not sad or depressed. I just need to express myself and my feelings. DH can't always be there for me, because he is caught up in this too.

Thanks for listening ladies!

Just remember XX that even though it feels so long right now- many women with no medical issues take up to a year to conceive. (I could list a few examples from friends where the 2nd or 1st took 9-12 months for no real reason that anyone could ever determine) Plus for many months you have been doing things to lower your fertility and of course your chances of a BFP. I understand wanting closure but I do feel that you still have great chances for getting pregnant- and getting pregnant soon. Please don't lose hope!

Sunbuny, I'm sorry to hear you're out.

sage, I think it's totally weird that she didn't ask about your cycles. That would tell her more than a pelvic exam! Maybe try googling for 'recommend/good RE Baltimore' or similar, see if you find any results on forums etc? Maybe try Yelp, too? Finding drs here is even worse bc I don't know many people and people don't use yelp or Craigslist or online regional forums. Plus I live in a very rural area. But if you csn afford it, I would consider going to a recommended dr even if not covered by insurance. Oh, and what I did when I had insurance was to find bios/pics of drs and decide based on that. My intuition rarely led me astray.

XX, your chart is still so amazing! And I really agree with Junie's post above; it can take a while even without any issues (and you DID have high FSH, presumably for most of your cycles TTC), plus we are swaying pink which takes longer.

Junie, I think I either haven't Oed at all yet (most likely) OR I did release an egg 4 days ago but another one is about to pop. I have found that in cycles when I release 2 eggs, my temp doesn't rise until I release the 2nd egg. And I have released eggs several days apart before (even though they say it's impossible! ). But I've had SO much EWCM the past 4 days, like multiple pairs of underwear changes needed amounts! And today I got a true, blaring positive OPK and Peak on my CBAD. I will try to attempt tonight (3.5 days since last attempt). Unfortunately DF ran out of his thyroid meds a couple weeks ago and so his libido and performance are really, um, down. And I left my ED med stash in the US, alas.

Maiden- I hope things work out so that you can BD tonight!!

[XXforhubby]

Maiden- I have actually had it confirmed via ultrasound that I can release an egg two days apart. When that happens, my temp is slow to rise and you'll see my body tried to raise the temp, but didn't until the second egg is released. FX for you!

Thanks ladies. I know that even under perfect conditions it can take awhile to conceive. I am just trying to be in the moment and be ok with things as they are. I am preparing for AF and another plan for next cycle. I think we will BD 2-3 days, I'll keep up more vegetarian meals, and add in fiber at my largest meal of the day and any fatty meals. Otherwise, I feel good that my sway is not too strict and my diet and exercise are not too extreme. I feel this is a loose sway, but I feel it needs to be YK! Plus the acupuncture is helping because my charts are showing great estrogen and progesterone production.

I don't know what I would do without you ladies! It is so comforting to know that I can talk to people who GET it! [emoji8]!

fivebabies, I am a huge believer in fate so I totally understand where you're coming from. I hope you catch the egg this month, whether you've just Oed or are about to! Do you use OPKs? If not, how do you predict/determine O? I personally find charting/temping LESS stressful than not doing so, bc without temping I can't be sure of when I Oed (OPKs typically aren't reliable for me), which REALLY stresses me out. Plus I've been charting so long it's automatic at this point.

Grace, I am sorry you missed the first egg but I hope you catch this next one. Sounds like maybe we will O together as I expect to O Friday or Saturday.

Junie, I hope you O soon, or already have, despite the lack of a positive OPK. Have you been attempting every 4 days just in case? Things can be weird in post loss cycles. How long will DH be gone for? And thank you for the well wishes!

XX, you are still so early I wouldn't be dismayed by a BFN, though I know it's impossible not to feel somewhat disappointed. Fx you just need a few more days. How many DPO were you when you had that spot of blood?

I have also had my hyper O confirmed by ultrasound, with 2 eggs being released days apart on several occasions. The most confirmed by ultrasound was 7 days, but based on symptoms and charting I believe I've released them as far apart as 2 weeks! How very interesting that your experience with hyper O and temps is the same. You're so my twin!

Remember how 4 days ago I was telling my ovary to release another egg bc I had BDed so late? Be careful what you wish for...!

I am crampy and feel PMS already! Only 3-4 dpo! So annoying.
