Hi ladies!
6dpo today....Cristi, we are the same!
I wasn't planning to test at all this weekend but now that you said you were going to start Thursday.......well, I might cave too!
I just feel like I will be disappointed with a, hopefully, false negative.
Who knows!
I posted on my FB page that I have just been really cranky since suspected O date.
No real reason.....just pissy.
And damnit if two people didn't immediately respond with "maybe you are preggers?"
Sigh.....I don't feel anything.

aclark: I LOVE the onesie idea!!! and hockey! But I am a Rangers fan lol

I hope your line gets darker!!!!

tpreg: hope you get a bfp! I always hate it when people read into your mood and say that. Its like oh come on!

Christi: I hope that your cats being funny with you again is a good sign :) keeping my fx'd for you

Congrats to anyone who has gotten a bfp :)

AFM, I am on CD56 and nearly nearing my 2nd missed AF. Not taken another hpt since CD48 which was -ve. My LMP was 2nd October.... Think I am the last person still on the July forum :(

BEAUTIFUL: Ugh I cant believe your af, why is she being so stubborn!? Did your Dr offer to give you progesterone? I think when they give that to you, you take it for 5 or 10 days(??), then when you stop Af arrives? What did your Dr say about this long cycle? I cant imagine you are comfortable. I'm sorry hun.

Koti - I've read that as well. The 3 month thing. I did mine for 4 and a half. By then since I hadn't seen changes my neuropath said I could stop. She said it's not effective for everyone. It's one of those "don't know 'till you try" type things. Acupuncture on the other hand has the same 3 month rule and I saw changes. within 2 weeks. I think it all depends on what exactly the hormonal issues are and what your body responds to. It's so much trial and error. Good luck.

sugarandomsam - I had dampness, too according to my acupuncturist. I also had herbs she prescribed me to help with that. Sounds like they have a good plan for you. Mine also advised me to test with FMU due to the concentration of urine, but I found that I surge in the afternoon so I had stop testing with FMU. I did a bit of research and found that actually many women surge late morning/early afternoon so if you only do FMU and don't have a 24 hour surge, you may miss it. Just something to keep in mind since it sounds like you may have quick changes.

Cristi - Now that my HPTs are back to negative I'm done testing. I think I'll (try) to wait until at least Friday or Saturday. But I'm not great with willpower so.... we'll see how that goes. I love hearing about the kitty. I have 4 cats myself and I watch them very closely around this time for changes in how they act around me. One of mine has been my bff all month and I've wondering if it was due to all the hormone differences with clomid and the HCG trigger. Usually he's a daddy's boy so it's definitely not the norm for him to be following me around. I had a friend whose cat used to hiss at her when she was pregnant, almost from Day 1, too.

AFM, I *think* i'm 8DPO. Could be 7 depending on which site you go by. Trying my hardest not to symptom spot or get crazy about my temps. I was up to 98.5 earlier this week, then down to 98.2, today 98.0 so my pessimistic self believes I'm already on the decline so bad news bears. But I know we've had ladies whose after O temps were all over the place and they still got their BFP so I'm really trying to remind myself of that.

Penny- oops I didn't test for another surge since FMU. I will do a test Tmr morning before DH back from trip. Now I'm having some cramp on my lower abdomen and keep feeling bowels uncleared despite going to the loo a few times..
Back to the herbs, the Chinese powder really taste quite horrible ya?
