HisLadyBug: I heard about the saliva tests but never heard of anyone who tried it, please share if you decide to try.
From personal experience, temping and OKP are amazing in predicing and confirming ovulation and tell you so much about your cycles, may be stressful in the begining but later on give you so much comfort. Worth a try!

Firsttime: Happy birthday girl!!!! All the best this year and for a very sticky and healthy bean this year!

bella: So sorry about the CP. But it is great news you did get a , many get a sticky bean right after a CP, and !

AFM: Not yet officially here, but pretty sure will be on the November board in a couple of days, temp started droping, tomorrow will be a bigger drop and in 2 days will be here, same trend every cycle .
This will be 14th month TTC, getting pretty discouraged.
Sorry so many ladies are out, but hopefully many will not have to continue to December. Tons of to all!

Kotikd: I found some on ebay called Fertile-Focus for about $28. I haven't decided if I'm going to order it or not yet. I like that you can pretty much use it time and time again without buying refills. I am also looking at a Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test. We are only starting our 3rd cycle of TTC, and I don't know if I am ready to start monitoring.

I'm sorry Bella for your loss. :(

HisLadyBug: They are interesting but highly confusing. I had trouble cleaning mine and getting a really good look. I hear some ladies use a cheap kids kit microscope and do it that way. Seems like more trouble than it's worth unless the monthly investment for OPKs is too much.

@molldoll - we are cycle buddies! I'm 2 DPO as well. Maybe we can entertain each other during the TWW. Is your job change a good one?

@Ko - 14 months, I think you and I are on a similar timeframe. We started around November of 2012.

Those of you in the US, did you know that the FLEX card covers pregnancy tests, and fertility aids, so I believe you can get an ovulation monitor and put it on your flex. Just thought you all might want to know that! (-:

AFM, just trying to stay positive. I have heard working out can maybe help with all this during the TWW, so maybe I will go to the gym tomorrow and get the blood flowing!

Hey girls,
So I never got a positive OPK and my temperature never went up. Also, according to the fertility monitor my body was getting ready to ovulate on CD#12 (today is CD#19) and I had a "confirmed" ovulation but the next day the progesterone level felt down and it just never went back up. Maybe that is why I never saw the temperature go up? Who knows... I have my doctor appointment in few days and hopefully this time I will find out something.

I am taking break from the forum and TTC. My body and mind I guess is not ready for this.

Also, because my husband and I work opposite schedules it is very difficult to find time to bd which puts even more stress on both of us and waking up at 3am puts extra stress on my body.

Crazy time in our lives... the goal is to start TTC again in August and hopefully by then my body will be ready.

Take care girls and I hope that I will not see you here in August.

and

Morning ladies!

Bella: So sorry for your loss, but things do happen for a reason even it it's hard to see what that reason is. I had a CP two cycles ago and it was difficult.

Basia: Good luck with your break, but know that we'll be here for you if/when you return.

While: Good luck staying busy during your TWW!

Firsttime: Happy belated birthday!

GB: sorry you are out! There is always next month, when it is meant to happen it will happen.

AFM: I got my BFP yesterday! So excited! I took a test on Friday evening because I couldn't stand to wait any more and I thought there was a shadow of a line so I tested again yesterday and it's really there!

to everyone!
