So, I just used the dollar store cheapie and it's stark white. No questioning. No evap. So, I guess I'll wait for the witch to show.

@KressLove - that sucks , when is AF normally due for you? Some of those dollar store tests are not super sensitve - do you think you could still be in the running just too early for a dollar store test to pick anything up? Either way, we are here for you - but until AF comes, my fingers are crossed for you!!!!

Lucidity - so sorry to hear your news! I hope you're doing okay. Please keep us updated and know that we are here if/when you need us.

KressLove - sorry to hear about your bfn. AF was due today, right? So, that's good news that she's not here yet. Maybe it's still a bit too early to test.

twwtoolong - how are you doing?

My test from this morning developed a blue vertical line while I was away at work. I know it's likely an evap, but I've never seen such an obvious line on a negative test before. Darn blue dye tests! I'd love for you to give me your opinion. The image isn't the best quality and the line looks more obvious in person, but here it is:

@Sophe28 - That looks like a positive to me! That would be so exciting! My fingers are crossed - will you test again tomorrow?

I am doing ok- was a little frustrated that we didn't get our sticky bean this month, but we'll give it another go this month. Still temping - so hopefully we'll get to bd as much this month as we did last cycle :).

Keep us posted!

Lucidity - any update with you? How are you doing?

KressLove - Has AF shown up yet? Have you tested again?

Twwtoolong, thanks for looking at my test. I admire your plan. I think it's great that you're looking forward to BD'ing and don't see it as a chore. :) Going in to this cycle with a positive attitude is fantastic.

I think my test line yesterday was an evap. I didn't test this morning because my temp was down and I was spotting again so I figured AF would start soon. The longest LP I've had since I started temping in June is 14 days and today is 15dpo. Where is AF already?!

Yesterday after dinner, my stomach started feeling upset and I had diarrhea. By the time I went to bed, I felt better. This morning I felt fine, but after I ate breakfast, my stomach started hurting again and I had more diarrhea. Sorry for the details, but I'm finding this never-ending cycle annoying. I'm on cd 47.

If these symptoms are due to pregnancy, I would be ecstatic. But, I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant, so I wish AF would just start already. Sorry for the long vent.

@Sophe28 - we try really hard to keep the business end of babymaking fun! We both have a pretty health sexual drive, so that's never been too much of an issue for us, it's mostly been our work schedules that have gotten in the way. We are both on a similar schedule now, which really helps!

I really hope you find out one way or the other soon- you must be getting frustrated and impatient at this point ! My fingers are crossed that you get a postive soon and that the spotting is just minor. If not, perhaps you can chaulk it up to a wonky cycle and can start fresh again. I have to say temping has made me feel like I have some more knowledge of what going on with my body at least, when most of the other parts of this ttc business if just so out of our control!

@Kresslove - how are things going? we are here if you need to vent.

@ lucidity - keep in touch, you got a support system here if you need it.

How is everyone else doing out there?

Hi everyone!
I'm currently on a two days late for af, cycle day 32. I usually have between 29 or 30 day cycles. This is the first month I used opk, and my husband and I actively tried on the four days around O day.
I've had a couple symptoms, most notably some stabbing nipple pain today, some weird constipation/stomach pain. The couple days after O day I thought I felt twitches/cramps, but that could be me just hoping.
I ovulated late, at cd 20, so I'm only 11 dpo today. I took a test on Sunday morning and it was a stark white bfn. I don't have any expectations, but no signs of af yet.
I guess we'll see, just trying not to go crazy! I think I will test again on Friday or Saturday if no af before that.
Just need to vent to someone my anxiety, can't bear to get hubby's hopes up.

helllo ladies, i hope you are all doing well. Nothing has changed for me, no AF but no real temp changes. Also no symptoms and no BFP. I have to take Provera to make AF starts.

Lucidity so sorry for your mc. A lot of hugs

those with AF sorry , gL to the others. Wish you all to keep trying.

AF showed late last night. I'm just emotionally drained!
Sophe that looks like a positive to me! Fx for you

Morning All,
@ Kresslove - sorry to hear that AF came, booo. It's so frustrating when something happens outside the normal in the tww when trying to concieve, it just makes you go bonkers wondering if it might be this cycle.

@Sophe28- How are you doing? Any luck at all with either a nice bfp or at least AF to start anew?

Bailey1234- Welcome! There are many of us here that just got AF or at the very end of the tww like you are - these ladies are awesome and full of encouragement. Keep us posted on how the symptoms/testing are going!

@LaLou3tt3 - I am sorry to hear it doesn't seem to be working out this cycle for you. I really hope you get your sticky bean soon!

@lucidity -how are you? I have been thinking about your lady and hope you are doing ok.

No real change for me, will be pretty busy this weekend and we are having a beaugolais nouveaux pary next weekend (it's a wine that is only released on the third thursday of Nov each year, in limited supply). It's basically just a way for us to get together with friends before the holiday parties swallow up Dec! I should be ovulating the day of the party, if my cycle is the same as the past two, so hopefully we'll find time to bd next week and early in the day!

How's everyone else doing out there?
