dsinha1011: the hcg trigger (Ovidrel) is a shot that causes mature follicles to release the egg. I used it in combination with clomid this cycle. Since the shot contains hcg, it will cause hpt to show a false positive for at least a week. I was testing every day to make sure it's out of my system, and I think it finally is! So any positives I see from here on out are "real" ones if that makes sense. I know it's unlikely to see a BFP until 10dpo but I'm in the habit of testing every day now so I'll probably continue just for kicks and since I have a ton of ICs! yay for being cycle buddies, MrsB11 too!

WishingforViolet: so glad your cat finally came home, and thanks for the great idea for the list!! I'm adding myself to the TWW section!

Contemplating - Hope to hear great news after your ultrasound on October 13.

Shananabooboo - Thanks for sharing about the symptoms. I know we all tend to symptom spot in the TWW but hey, if it makes it go by faster I will do whatever.

Lalou3tt3 - Really? its nice to hear I am not the only one. I hope your ovulation date is the one you originally thought just so you get a BFP sooner! I know mine isn't because I am having way to many symptoms now unlike when I thought I got my first positive. Fingers Crossed for you.

Calvingirl, MrsB11, Clarabelle31 - Hope to see BFP soon from you guys!

AFM - I am having intense ovulation pain today. If it keeps it up I think I will be calling my doctor. I don't know what's going on. Pray it goes away & I am able to start my TWW.

Ladies we made it through another day. Hope everyone had a great one!

btw Lalou, I finally added my cycle to my profile!

I feel like my cover line is kinda high, maybe because my temps were a bit erratic in the beginning of my cycle? I think my temps were a little higher pre-O due to the Clomid which I took CD3-7. Usually I'm in the 96s or low 97s until I O, after which I'm in the mid-97s until AF.

Let me know what you ladies think!

MrsB, can't wait to hear from you tomorrow! Fx

Clarabelle, are you testing anytime soon?

Hi everyone,

This is so exciting, looks like we could have a whole week of testing!!

Calvingirl: I'm so happy that you're ready to start again.

MMcalli: I hope the pain goes away soon, but do update us on how you go

MrsB11: for testing day!!

Hi! Sorry I'm late to the party! TTC#1 but am so blessed to be stepmom to three awesome kiddos. I may have gotten a but am scared to get excited just yet. First BFP ever!! http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/image.php?galleryid=462543

Hello,

I haven't been online for a bit. But thought I would update everyone. I am now 5dpiui. I had my IUI last week Thursday. Was still as painful as last time, and I bled afterward. I am hoping this is my last time for awhile. I am going to try to hold out on testing until at least 12dpiui.

Margie - I hope that you were able to catch the egg. Glad you were able to do the IUI over the weekend. Sorry your DH's numbers were low, but hopefully it was still enough.

Gettingby - Good luck with your IUI. I am on my second round.

Lalou - I hope you get your BFP

Wishing - I am glad that your cat is home. Also, I think the list is a good idea.

Good luck to everyone else in the TWW.

Good morning everyone! Hope y'alls weekend was good.

Wishing - Glad to hear your cat is safe and sound! Cute that she had a bf :) Thanks for the list idea! This makes it SOOOO much easier to answer the common questions I usually try to keep up on without having to go back through every post!

Clara - I agree, your coverline seems awfully high. It seems as though this site's charting software doesn't believe there can be ANY temps above cover pre-o. (I've had the same issue in the past with my charts here. I also use FF and tend to put more trust in that chart) In any case, at least your temps are still up. How long is your LP usually? Can't wait to see that line re-appear :)

MMcalli - Hope the pain has eased up! I think the only thing worse than the TWW is waiting to be IN the TWW!

MrsB - Did you test this morning?? FX for you!!

Calvin - I hope your DH is right and you get your BFP fast! I worry about age too (I'm 38). But my mom was 40 when she had my youngest brother so I'm hoping to follow in her footsteps.

Lalou - Have you tested again? Did you post the test on here for us to check out?? Hope your shadow darkens :) Good Luck!!

Shanana - We are cycle buddies! I ov'd on the 25th also. I hope you are able to get your BFP without having to involve an RE. It would be REALLY great if you got it this month! How long are you able to hold out before you start testing?

Contemplating - Keep in mind that the pos line on tests start to lighten again after some time. I had a few days I re-tested with my first pregnancy (because I was obsessive and was so scared of mc....sometimes these sites can instill fear!) and they started to fade. I was terrified and convinced I was losing the baby until I found out that was completely normal. So don't let it freak you out!! Easier said than done, I know :) Also, have you checked out countdownmypregnancy? I moved over there after my first bfp last year. It's really great to record all the "firsts" and to have due date buddies! Of course, please keep popping in here to give us updates until we can join you over there!

jbean - That's awesome you had a nice weekend with the hubs :) Getting back to a routine is sometimes the best way to wait out the TWW. Hope that works for you and your temp stays nice and high!

Luna - Hope you don't have to wait long to add to your family!

dsinha - I've always used the IC opks and they've done fine. I'm a poas addict and using anything other than IC, I'd go broke! I think it's just my body still readjusting after pregnancy that is making them so wacky. Good luck to you! How are you surviving the TWW?

AFM - FF confirmed my ov at Friday, the 25th while here it said Saturday. I'm going with FF, and changed my date here, because of the extreme ov pains I had Friday night. In all actuality, I'm pretty sure I ov'd overnight so it could go either way. I just tend to trust FF more for some reason? So that makes me 4 dpo. I almost forgot how obsessive the TWW makes me. I'm so glad I have a little one to keep me busy and pass the time. Because I'm a poas addict and because I have a ton of IC hpts, I'll probably begin testing Friday (7 dpo). Super early, I know, but I got my first super faint bfp on 8 dpo and I kinda like having one that will almost certainly be stark white to compare to. Looking forward to everyone's updates this week....lots of testing soon!!! Good Luck to us all :)

Good morning ladies,

MrsRabren - I hope the TWW goes by quickly for you.

jeska - I hope you caught the egg too. I'm with you I think I'll try and hold out until 11 or 12 DPIUI.

Lovelee - Welcome. That's definitely a BFP. Congratulations! Please let us know if it gets darker or if you use a different brand to confirm.

Wishing - I'm glad your cat came home. I know how relieved you must feel. It's super cute that she had a boyfriend.

MMcalli - I hope you're feeling beter ad the pains have stopped.

Calvingirl - I hope you get your BFP very quickly.

Lalou3tt3 - did you test again today? is it any darker?

Shananabooboo - I'm glad your temp rose. I hope you get your BFP this month.

Contemplating - I've heard that sometimes morning sickness doesn't kick in until after 6 weeks.

jbean - I hope your sleeping evens out soon. I find that my temps stay pretty acurate even if I've had a restless night as long as I don't get up and move around.

AFM - My temp stayed up so my BBT actually confirms O on saturday. It's the first time in months when my BBT and my OPK have agreed. I'm feeling super positive about this month. I really hope it works out for us. I have to admit I haven't felt this hopeful that it worked since our first IUI. On the down side I'm super tired this week. I don't know why but I've been waking up a couple of times per night.
