gds3 - congrats to your family, i sincerely hope you join them soon! my O pattern is just starting to emerge, so with the opk's, temping, and watching CM you'll probably get it down too. sorry dang AF got you :( baby dust to you!

mylucky - glad it's working :) i just started eating yogurt again, but i'm trying to be healthy :)

sugar - glad you got to BD! who knows why you had the fake LH, maybe part of your body trying to get it done? as long as it did O from the right ovary this time is what we're cheering for!

stevi - hope AF stayed away!!! otherwise if you do go on a 'break' i hope it works out well! baby dust!

angela - FX this cycle! cramps do seem early for an O... you using opk's or something this cycle?

cotton - sorry about AF :( fx for sept baby!!!

spartie - sorry about AF :( i also have family in Michigan with the power out. Hope you guys still have a good xmas!

nychick - so sorry about your friend :( i hope your first doc appt goes super well!

rebecca - hope you feel better soon!!

AFM, 5DPO (possibly 6 if I O'd the night of the cramps and positive OPK). Bbs are always sore in this time period, started right away at O time. Last couple days had some super crazy dreams, I even startled out of sleep which is so weird for me. Also more weepy the last few days, which is also so weird, my family will tell you i have a heart of ice and am so unemotional ;) Randomly a tiny cramp or twinge in abdomen. First month taking temps, so I'm happy they're still high, hoping that means I truly did O. Now I know that technically implantation couldn't have happened yet, so I'm guessing you really can't put stock in the symptoms prior to 6DPO. Progesterone check in 2 days, hoping for good news!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hoping everyone gets BFP's in the new year!!!

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all!

Scooby - I know saying "I'm sorry" will never be enough but I am keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you the most positive of thoughts! Don't forget we are always here for you!

To everyone else, keeping you in my positive thoughts for tons of BFPS, looks like many of us are nearing the end of the tww and I hope to see tons of great news.

7dpo here and nothing to report. I am sure that I am not pregnant and that's ok, working towards IUI in February.

Firstt- BD yes, however may not be in the right timing? Im still hoping that the scan is correct and its RIGHT OVARY this month.. As you know I have absolutely NO IDEA when is my O day? Given the fact that I have two solid smileys on CD7 & CD14, 1 week apart. CD14, CD15 OPK surge darken as day past. CD16, light and mostly near to negative.
We only manage to BD on CD8,9,10 & 15 this month. So I am not exactly sure if we can hit the target. And as for how many days past DPO i am also unsure, any advice?

Pbc- Santa is still visiting with his bags of baby dusts... don't give up!

While- today is your DPO10, testing yet? Praying for BFP for you!!

Sparti- Its good to BD in a changed environment ya? *wink*

Nychick- sorry for the loss of your friend, hope you are doing well and flu is away from you.

Ladies, I totally have NO IDEA what DPO am i At or have i O-ed?? After having 4+ OPK on CD7&8 AND CD14 & 15, Im really lost...

O-ED? Near? DPO?

Merry Xmas to all!! ((HUGSS))

Today I got my BFP! I am due on 3rd September 2014.

Baby dust to all other September babies!!

Hi all, new to this board, new to CTP, and new to TTC! This was our first month trying - so lots of new things for me right now!

Currently at 8DPO, and am going to wait until a few days after AF is due before I test - simply because I have to go away on a trip without my hubby for a week :( and want to test at home!

So far I've been really tired (naps have been needed!), had vivid dreams, as of last night boobies are very sore, and look like I have 4 of them they won't fit in my bra lol. Also having alot of cramping today and some twinges. Also have been light headed and have had moments of nausea.

So hard not to symptom spot but for as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a mum - seems pretty surreal it could happen!

So this is my first tww, and I'm filled with excitement, then feeling like we didn't get it right this month, or I have thoughts like maybe I could be one of the ones who has to try for ages before a BFP....is this normal?

Congrats to all who have their BFPs so far - if we got it right this month my due date will be Sept 10, which is the day after my birthday :)

Hello, Ladies! I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a very merry holiday!

I got rid of my yeast infection, but now I have a cold!! UGH!!

I've still been doing my OPKs, but no positive yet.

Trying to stay hopeful. I am in my fertile week.

Congrats to the BFP announce today.

FX and baby dust!!

Hey, guys! I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

I think I'm out for this month. I tested yesterday and today, 11 DPO, and got BFN. I usually get at least a faint positive by sometime around 9-10 DPO (at least that's how it worked with my last two pregnancies).

I'm so bummed. I KNOW not to get my hopes up, but I have just had so much cramping that I really was thinking this might be the month. By BB's have been at least a little sore, too. Must be because of the miscarriage last month. Yuck.

It's hard not to get so frustrated and down about all this. I thought about temping this cycle but then at the same time I don't really want to. AF is expected on Sunday, which will put me in the running for October, which was the due date of our first loss. It's so strange... a year later trying for the same month.

Anybody get a BFP yet?

Yay im so excited got my bfp today :) this fertilaid works really well

Hi all. First post. Christmas seems to have turned me into Google obsessive on the ttc subject. Miscarried very 1st pregnancy at the end of June, would have been due 6th Jan.

Last two AF seem to be different and cycles averaging 26 days. Ovulation seems to be CD16 so concerned about Luteal phase. Also despite AF on 8th Dec just have funny feeling. Lots of spots and read that if ovulation is close to expected AF it can come even if you are pregnant. Overthinking or listen to my gut??

Oh and Merry Christmas! X x

@Patience -- it is true that some women might bleed a little around the time of their period if they are pregnant, but my understanding is that it is not like a normal period. And generally you want the blood to be a brownish color, not red. You could certainly test to find out. I know after my miscarriages, my body was not the same after before and my cycles were different. Fingers crossed for you!
