Hi ladies! So sorry to hear about AF for some of you, keeping my fingers crossed for others! I go for a urinalysis on the 26th, two days after AF is supposed to show this month.

My bbs just randomly started hurting today, had a killer headache last night, and cramping again today. Surely it can't *still* be O symptoms? Maybe it's AF symptoms now. It stinks if this is gonna be a monthly issue for me, because I have a high pain threshold except with girly pains. I have dysmenorrhea, too, so it's heavy and hurts *alot*.

But I'm still crossing my fingers, think it would be good to wait a little bit before testing, since I will surely know from AF by then or not. :)

@ants- if it comes on the schedule you're predicting bc that's only 12 days. You really need that 14 days to cover conception/implantation before you're hormones change so af doesn't come knocking on your door. I know that a luteal phase defect can cause big problems with ttc.

A luteal phase defectbis anything under 12 days. The normal luteal phase is between 12-16 days. Mine is 13. Most eggs implant by 9-10 dpo so u would be fine with a 12 day luteal phase. You also shouldn't ovulate before day 10 of ur cycle as that can produce immature eggs.

@desertchick- I O early, so maybe that's why my kids are such jackasses!!! They were just immature eggs :))

@desert @mari
So am I ok? Got my woried here

@pieces- how soon will they do the hsg?

Hi everyone.
good to see everyone is so chatty today, welcome @ angels, @kitty and @margy!

@Miracle,@topo and @pisces glad to see you have all banished the negative vibes. Sorry is messin with you ladies but glad that means the hsg Pisces and peace of mind for your next cycle topo. Miracle, you're still in!

@ants and @ pisces thanks for the amazing pics and descriptions of the cakes. I am trying to be healthy as weight had crept up before bean stuck so it's good to get satisfaction from you ladies!

@lsh my temps were always funky. @ jst to interpret! Glad you had a good holiday.

@mari when are you testing??!!

me. Feeling pretty grotty. Did with dd too. Currently in bed catching ip with you ladies munching dry crackers!!!! Had a dating scan today which has put me a week further along. Not quite sure how that is poss as doesn't fit with o but means I should feel better and be able to tell people sooner!

have a great evening everyone!

@trouble- I've been cramping some today, so I'm gonna wait and see if af comes tonight. I feel like the witch lft DC and headed straight for my house. So I'm in holding mode, but I usually get af in the night and wake up to her ugly face :( its okay though bc I'm getting into a good nutrition and activity routine that can only help me with fertility and keep me healthy when I do conceive :)

Oh! And I finally got a bbt, so hopefully.@jsx can help me along with interpreting my results too!

Hi everyone! I'm either 11 or 12 dpo today. I didn't test today. If I'm 12 dpo then AF is due tomorrow. If I'm 11 dpo then she is due Friday! So we shall see.

Super sleepy, breasts are big, full, sore and swollen as usual. I'm bloated and nose is stuffy.

@pisces ~ Sorry about AF but very hopeful for your hsg! Good things to come hon..

@Introuble ~ Yes, it will be nice when you feel better and can tell others.. weird how you're farther along than what you thoght..

@Mari ~ Hope AF stays away for you..

@Misskitty ~ How many day past ovulation are you?

@desertchic ~ nice to see you popping in and saying hi and helping inform some of us girls when you can. How are you? Hope you are doing well.

Does bbt go up as you're ovulating, or only after to confirm O???
