@neomasie - congratulations! What a blessing after a loss - I'm a loss mommy too.
@bahama - I get that same dip at 6dpo with an estrogen surge every month and it doesn't signify implantation for me, unfortunately. I read it's your body getting ready to implant in case your egg is there and fertilized, and it can affect your temperature - so it could be a good sign! It just hasn't been for me because I'm not dropping good eggs every month.
AFM - 10dpo, bfn. Don't even feel anything. I'm going to do Femara next month and hopefully be successful since that's worked for me in the past. Don't think I caught the egg this month at all. Just waiting for AF to show.

@ bahama - I get a dip like that every cycle too around 7-9 DPOs. So far I've seen it every cycle that I track my BBT and it has not signified implantation, as I have yet to get a BFP. The research I've done on it suggests what calvingirl says. It's just more estrogen being produced and doesn't necessarily mean implantation is happening. I sure wish it did mean that!
@Beaut1ful38 - I'm happy to hear your symptoms are the same as when you got your last BFP!! I'm crossing my fingers for you and I can't wait to see your test results.
AFM - I'm on CD13 and I got my fourth High in a row on my OPK this morning. I'm going to start testing twice a day now as I think I might ovulate tomorrow, which would be early for me. DH and I have been doing a good job of BDing more regularly this fertile period so I'm starting to have high hopes.

@calvingirl and @Beaut1ful38 - we are about the same - I think I ovulated last Tuesday (my ovulation tests are on my page if you would look at them and let me know when you think I ovulated...cuz I can't quite figure that out) which would put me at 9dpo, but if I ovulated on the Wednesday I'm 8dpo... or who the heck knows maybe I even ovulated Thursday - but I did not BD on Wednesday or Thursday so I'm hoping and praying I ovulated on Tuesday and caught the egg somehow someway! I don't really have any symptoms and I've been testing for a few days cuz I'm a POAS addict... hey, at least I admit it LOL. I thought I saw a faint second line on FRER early test yesterday afternoon, but I'm not 100% sure (that's also on my page if you wanna see). I took another FRER this am with FMU and I did not see a second line at all (I forgot to take a pic of it), then I came to work and took a Wondfo pg test with SMU at 11:35am (so that was about a 4.5-5 hour hold and I think I see a faint second line on it or I just have line eyes.
I don't have many symptoms - my bbs don't feel larger or swollen, I don't feel super tired or nausea, I'm not having vivid dreams. Only thing going on for me now is I've been having dull cramps all day today so far - pretty steadily since about 9am... maybe that's implantation pains? Maybe....
I'm starting to feel like it's not going to happen for me and I'm getting a little depressed. I'm 37 years old, in pretty good health and I have no living children. It's always been my lifelong dream to be a mama and have a family - I used to carry around cabbage patch dolls like they were living babies - everywhere I went. Anywho - I'm feeling sad right now and I just need to try to stay positive and hopeful but it is not always easy as I'm sure many of you know! I just want my rainbow baby... all these babies that come into the world from some people who should not be parents and then there are people like myself and some of you who also don't have children who are praying and hoping and would make amazing parents I'm sure... it's SO HARD!!!!
Sorry for the rant, but not many people close to me get it, so I don't have many to vent to... I hope everyone is having a great day today and I hope to see some more BFPs coming from the ladies who are testing now and soon!! Who knows, maybe just maybe I'll get a surprise and get one too! :)
