Thank you!!! She was told years ago that she'd never have children, then a few weeks ago the dr told her that her iron was dangerously low and the baby was way underweight. Today she delivered a 8 pound 7 ounce healthy baby and she's doing great so I'm so excited and feeling so thankful and blessed today! FX that this is my month to conceive since I am so relaxed and in a great place mentally!

Mtolbert SO good to see you on here again!! Glad you are doing well, are calm, and in a great place!!! And your nephew is adorable! Big congrats to the whole fam!

Pbn - yes I broke down and tested this morning - at 7/8 dpo And with a FRER. And of course BFN. Sigh. Then tonight I went totally *off the wagon* diet wise! Didn't eat much dinner but then had two after dinner snacks of total junk! Candy, chips, brownie bite. I feel super gross and super guilty. I know at this point if I'm pregnant baby is either going to implant or not implant and if I'm not pregnant one bad day wont hurt anything but I still feel guilty. I hate "swaying guilt" - I'm so over it!!! I've just been really hungry and grumpy and tired the past week - for no good reason - and indulged in junk

I've felt super flushed & had a higher than normal daytime/evening temperature the past few days. Any chance that means anything? I mean I'm guessing it's just related to increased post-O progesterone, which could just be higher than normal this cycle (maybe from the Clomid?), but could it mean anything more?

Greydore my test line is never as dark as the control line on the cheapie OPKs... Drove me crazy so I switched to digital. Seems like that's pretty common, but it does make reading them more difficult.

Hey everyone!
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated, but I have been reading!

Pbn3 - I’ve been testing like an absolute idiot even though I’m only 7dpo/8dpo today. I’ve forced myself to stop because all bfn and I get sad lol even though I am aware it’s too early anyway [emoji23] earliest I have ever seen the slightest bfp was 9dpo so I’m just being silly.

Greydore - I’ve not ever had a positive test on any of the cheapie OPKs even though I’ve been blessed enough to have 3 babes. It gets slightly dark but not once has it been darker than the control.

Oh mtolbert1 - he is the sweetest little nugget [emoji7][emoji7] I love the swollen chucky newborns!! How beautiful, is your sister doing well?

How are you feeling now mummy2boys?

Abc2606 - I’m sitting right on the same dpo as you and keep testing EVEN though I know it’s kind of pointless at this stage [emoji23] the things we do [emoji19] but my fingers and toes are crossed that it was just too early!
And about being off the wagon - apparently cheating is okay and encouraged every now and again, just chalk it up as a bad night and start again tomorrow [emoji8]


Does anyone know if Clomid can cause some pregnancy like symptoms in the tww? I have driven myself crazy because I literally feel pregnant. Sore bbs, nausea, headaches, I am so tired I have been in bed by 9pm which isn’t like me at all!! And I just feel weird. Googling didn’t help much but hopefully you guys have some insight for me [emoji8]

Hi everyone!
Mtolbert your nephew is so adorable!! [emoji7]
ABC and j-elly, I would also cave and test that early, can't help myself. Hoping for bfps in a few days time for you both.
Hi Pbn, my temps aren't reliable atall unfortunately. I'm still sick with a high temp and I have been keeping the fever away with paracetamol so I'm still no wiser. It will be a long wait I think!

Plasticserenity how are the opks looking? Any progression? Do you keep them to watch the line come in? Post a pic if so! Are your cycles usually as long as last one?
Do you temp vaginally?

Sorry for the slow response, had a busy bonfire night weekend here! Making the most of still being able to drink before I get a BFP

CD 12 today and OPKs still negative as of yesterday. I keep an eye on them for around 10 mins, and the instructions say to disregard them after that time. But I have noticed if I go back to them a few hours later they are a bit darker, I guess that doesn't mean anything?

Gonna be trickier to test Mon to Thurs due to my work hours... I might have to figure out a way to test in the loo at work. But I drink that much coffee to keep me going through the day that I find it tough to hold for more than an hour or two in the afternoons, now I'm wondering if that's why I only saw negatives last cycle?

I temp orally. It's seemed a little steadier this month (have had a bit of a dip around CD5 but might be related to AF finishing? Is that a thing?). My timings have definitely been better and so has my sleep pattern so I think that helps.

I'm really hoping that this is a shorter cycle - last month was my first cycle temping and tracking and also my first cycle off BC so it was probably a bit wacky, but I guess I won't find out what's normal for me for a couple of months!

My Ovulation Chart

DP has revealed that he might be away Friday night, which will be CD16... who wants to bet that my positive OPK appears on that day!

He is super gorgeous and cute!!

Mtolbert what a sweet baby! Congrats to your family!

ABC I got a stark white BFN with a frer at 8 dpo with my second son. I don't think I even implanted til 8 dpo, so no way I would've gotten a positive.

Last cycle I had tons of symptoms, even the tingly boobs that so many say were early symptoms of pregnancy. And I definitely wasn't pregnant. All that progesterone can really play tricks on you.

Thanks for all of you ladies' info on OPKs...looks like I might need to break down and buy an expensive digital :/

I wasn't going to post, but I'm going crazy. So despite saying, "We're taking a cycle off to regroup, and will see what the cheap IVF place in NY says after two REs said we have unexplained RPL and need IVF with PGS," here I am tentatively pregnant again.

Here are my 8DPO and 9DPO progressions.

Issue is that I'm getting borderline BFNs in the morning -- the 9DPO one was at 2 p.m. yesterday when my 9DPO FMU was barely there. This morning was barely there too so I'm going to test later. Any experiences with BFNs with first morning urine?

Other variables here: My progesterone was only 8.3 at 6DPO. I did start taking my leftover progesterone supplements at 8DPO but I'm worried it was too late, even though my RE sort of views prog like atomic -- that it's an effect, not a cause.

I also had either a huge dip below coverline today or a slight +.1 climb -- two temps taken seconds away from each other. Any insight?
