Cristi, testing early is understandable. I'll allow it ;) If it's too early, the trigger may still show. Mine didn't turn negative again until around 12 days after the trigger. I hope your cat acting weird means good news!!! That would be such a fun way to know you're pregnant :) Also, my DH wrestled all through middle and high school, and loves it! He's so jealous of you having a son that wrestles! That's his dream is to attend his future son's wrestling matches. I told him that your son had two pins, and he was excited for you guys
aclark, exciting!!! Hope it gets darker! And that's an adorable idea to tell your DH. Do you have a pic of the test you took so we can see? I think we are a little obsessed about looking at tests here ;)
tgpreg, those kind of comments are annoying. I don't know why people ask or assume things like that. It's not ever helpful or funny.
Beautiful, aww sorry! I also think the progesterone is a good idea. It'll kickstart the next cycle for you. Also, since you aren't going to test again, how long will you wait before maybe taking action if AF still hasn't shown up?
pennylane, getting close! FX for you!
acrichton, congrats! Great number!!! It's really happening for you! I totally get wanting to feel pregnant. I think I told DH every day that I wish I was throwing up every morning haha! It'll most likely come soon enough for you ;)
While definitely rooting for your BFP! I hope to see a nice pink line from you in the morning! FX
LuckyDuck, GL in the TWW. Let's hope Dec. 10 is an extra lucky day for you!
Blushing- I'm feeling great :) Morning sickness gone (woohoo! Finally!) My belly is stretching and tight which is uncomfortable, but really fun at the same time.
I hope you stop bleeding soon. It really sucks when stuff like that happens and it means we have even less control of our cycles! Yuck. FX for you
Ashley, a lot of times pregnancy symptoms are the same as AF symptoms! Maybe it's not AF :)
kotikid, GL at the doctor! Will the doc use an ultrasound to see what's going on with ovulation? See if there are follicles that are growing, or if you ovulated and missed it?
Anngiee, It's really hard to tell sometimes, isn't it? You have to wonder, is this a new thing for my body to do, or did I just never notice it before? It really throws you off! GL I hope that this is your month :)
Baby dust to everyone!! And Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US

Good morning ladies!! Its me again!
Penny- One month of the chinese herbal wow! I am very impressed that you did that and done that already. Being a Chinese, I am from SIngapore. Ever since young, parents have been giving us chinese powder medicines for some flu or fever , I never like that, as far I remember, once Mum turned her back, the herbs went to the sink. * Naughty kid* After the EP, mum made alot of tonics for me to heal the body internally, I knew and know for the fact that TCM could cure in long run, however, I been wishing that the taste is slightly better than the usuals. I did ask the physician how long I may be put on the medication, she mentioned needs to be monitor a week later to see how body taking it. I hope I need not go thru' for so long :p
Blushing- Good news is we BD earlier this morning the moment DH back from airport straight. HAHA...I tested using FMU before he came home, to my disappointment, CB digital OPK was faulty. The solid smiley from last morning didn't disappear from the screen. I tested it without the digital, used 2 different stripes and I had it uploaded on my HPT images gallery. The line is not as dark as what I see from last month pic ( CD13 ) or its close, Then again, I am going to do the test again this afternoon to see if the line could still be seen or detected.
Koti- We BD on CD7, CD8 and DH outstation till today CD13, we did the deed again ( based on the physician advice) she suggested just ONLY TODAY to BD. I am like " REALLY??? SURE???" she goes: YES, sure. However, note that I had been a disobiedient kid since young, I will continue to BD tomorrow and the day after. OOPS!! :P Too greedy? ZUmba for 3 hours was cos it was a zumba fitness party and the instructor is my cousin. Normally its just an hour. BUt yes, I love Zumba now.
Penny- LP for 11 days seems ok? As i read that so long as LP is between 10-16 days, its normal. Speaking about warm uterus, while doing the acupuncture, I had a heater over my abdomen, AHHH... Now maybe I know y..
http://www.ovulation-calculator.com ( You can try this, I been using this for a few months prior to using OPK )To select gender basically.
Rebecca- I am going see if my dogs react the same way as your cat. Its fun! And I cannot recall about the message, someone mentioned about the horse? I think somehow animals have instinct? I am looking forward on that too.
Cristi- THINK positive!! May your prayers be answered.
And to all of us waiting out here. BABY DUST & STICKY VIBES!!!!!!! GO GO GO!!!!
And all the best to me!

OOPs... I guessed Now i know why the smiley face is still displaying on the window.
Taken from clearblue website:
Smiley Face â?? Peak Fertility
This is the womanâ??s most fertile time and the result will be displayed for 2 days. She should have intercourse during these 2 days to maximize her chance of conception. She should stop testing after the first day that Peak Fertility is displayed
If she continues to test after the Peak Fertility symbol is displayed, the Test Holder display will show three error symbols simultaneously which indicates that she should wait until her next cycle before starting to test again.
**Praying**

Felurian, thank you! :) Add to that count of pins! He pinned his match tonight too! I was so freaking proud... he wrestled a girl that pinned 2 of his teammates tonight, but he got her in the first round! I posted a video of it on FB if your hubby wants to watch it. He can cheer on my kiddo until you guys get your boy! He is 5 wins out of 9 matches right now and 3 of them were pins! YES! Haha... sorry to ramble about his wrestling! I am hoping my cat is going to be my earliest symptom of pregnancy. Ha!
sugarandomsam, thank you... I am staying positive! FX and Baby Dust!

Hi ladies!
7-8dpo today.
In my previous cycles, I may have been miscalculating O date so if I was miscalculating it for this cycle, it would be more like 5-6dpo.
And during those days I will ALWAYS get an increase in creamy cm, probably due to a second estrogen surge.
I am seriously between dry and sticky right now.
I don't know if it has to do with that weird semi-infection I had going on or what.
I don't feel anything today. My mood is better, although I had a good wine cry last night. Geez. There are a bunch of changes at work and it freaks me out a bit, but I probably didn't need to start blubbering about it.
Like I said.....I blame the extra glass of wine. :)

Good morning ladies. It's CD7 for me, and back to using the monitor again. Of course the test was Low today, but when I compared it to last month's CD7 test, I noticed the 2nd line was much darker this time. It matched up more along the lines of my CD10 or 11 test last month, and I got my first high on CD12. I don't know if this means I might O earlier this cycle or what, but it's interesting.
sugar - good luck!
Cristi - sounds like your son is doing an awesome job! My dh's youngest brother used to wrestle in high school, and he has fond memories of cheering him on. Our oldest is playing basketball in a YMCA league. I'm kind of enjoying it, but most of the time I'm worried he's going to get hurt. Haha! Guess I need to loosen up. I'm keeping my for your Thanksgiving Day test.
Ashley & Anngiee - it's so hard waiting and paying attention to everything out bodies are doing. Even if we swear we won't symptom spot, we still wind up doing it. Hang in there!
Beautiful - keep us updated on how you're doing.
to everyone!

Felurian: I have booked an appointment with my gp for middle of next week as by then it will be 2, or very close to 2, cycles missed. So they will have to investigate and not fob me off with I'm on medication for my ra which causes cycle problems etc. Which I have been on since aged 10 until now (with a year break few years ago) and I have never skipped cycles once, let alone twice. My gp was pleased that despite my pcos, I still had 'regular' cycles albeit every 4-5 weeks lol
Rebecca: will do, will know more next week but will cancel if she shows up before then lol

Hey girls,
acrichton: great numbers
congrats and keep the stress low
rebecca: good luck catching O. do you want to O early?
beautiful: it sure doesnt sound normal specially if you have always had normal cycles. I am holding hope that it may be a little bean in there
AFM: I am a little confused.
10 DPO here. I tested because the time is close enough but .
Last night the DH and I BD and it was a little rough. When we were cleaning up I notice some pink in the CM. I chalked it to that although in the past i have never had any blood after the rougher BD sessions.
This morning there was a little more of the pink CM when I woke up. When I went later this morning, there were traces of brownish CM. It sounds like it could be implantation bleeding. In that case I ovulated later than I thought and am 8-9DPO today.
Or could just be from the BD session. I am hoping the former is true. I am planning on testing on saturday or sunday as AF is due monday. I am hoping we will have some good news for family by christmas
for all the girls in the TWW
