Like Jel said the day your period shows is CD1 so you'll want to start tempting right away since you're expecting AF anytime now. It will actually be good because if You start temping tomorrow and AF doesn't show until Sun or Mon you'll get to record the drop which will actually be helpful next cycle.

I was super eager my first cycle too and put a lot of pressure on myself to learn lots and make this happen quick. I didn't think it was possible, but after not conceiving for a couple cycles it actually got easier. The two week wait gets less painful and the obsession dies down a bit. It does really help to have something productive to do like record temps and symptoms and check in with your buddies :)

So... today would be 14 DPO, CD 28 for me. My AF cramps only lasted a few hours last night and then disappeared completely(unlike usual). This morning I ate a croissant for breakfast and was IMMEDIATELY hit with a wave of nausea and had to run for the restroom to toss my cookies.

I had counted myself out this month, but AF should start today and I am just not feeling her. No spotting or usual AF symptoms except moodiness. I'm trying not to get too hopeful, just figure I caught something or it has to do with changing my diet and starting prenatals....

I will test Monday if AF hasn't shown.

How are you ladies doing this morning?!

ok... so... this post is going to be way too much TMI.... sorry in advance.

So I went for a potty break and noticed a lot of watery cm when I wiped... so I cleaned myself, washed my hands, and checked my CM... besides it being unusually increased... I cant find my cervix!!!

I know, it sounds weird.. but usually a few days before AF my cervix is really low and hard feeling, kinda like pushing on a fresh picked apple... Well, it must be REALLY high, because I can't reach it. DH is at work and it will be hours before he gets home.

I really thought I was out for the month, but now I'm thinking maybe I just tested a few days too early. I already have an appt to get my bloodwork done Monday... so I am going to try not to test again before that.. but it I'm starting to feel hopeful again!

Those are both good signs. I know my CM is dry and cervix is very low right before AF comes. If you were late to implant than there's certainly a possibility your tests were taken to early. Let us know!

Jel, did your results come in?

Yep, things look great! Have my first appointment in less than two weeks. How's ur cycle going

So AF is officially late. What is more, my cm is unusually wet and I don't feel as if AF is coming anytime soon. I finally found my cervix, with a lil help of DH, and it is really soft and high(and tilted back which is really really odd)

I go to my doctor to have my blood drawn tomorrow. I am still getting BFNs(I broke and tested with my FMU today), but something is definitely up.

I am glad your bloodwork is checking out! I'm certainly hoping mine will too and we will both have sticky beans!

Thanks for the support, Hgreen, how are you doing?

Yay! That's great news Jel.

Im just playing the waiting game now... waiting for my Dr. to call me back about the blood work I had done last week, waiting for my referral to the specialist and waiting for AF to end so I can go in for the ultrasound. Im hoping I'll have some clarity by the end of this cycle.

I started the Vitex, Dong Quai and evening primrose oil on CD1. Obviously it's too soon so tell if it's having an effect but Im feeling hopeful. Time will tell if its working if I Ovulate before Day 23 this cycle.

Are they doing an ultrasound to check your tubes?

Yes. It's the transvaginal ultrasound and I believe the two main things they check for are blockages in the tubes and cysts or Problems with the ovaries.

Im scheduled to go in on Thurs which is CD8, i wonder if they'll be able to see an egg maturing by then.

I had that procedure this last cycle and look what happened! They say the cycle when you get your tubes checked gives a good chance of pregnancy. It is a little uncomfortable but takes about 5 minutes. I don't think they look at the egg, they will shoot a dye up there that goes through your tubes.
