Sorry to hear about your CP chickray! Hopefully this is your month FX for you.

Cramping has stopped. That was torture! I have never had that happen to me before. Now I am thinking, maybe this is it! It just HAS to be. Come on Friday!!

YAY! Got my +OPK! DH & I last night and plan to try tonight and tomorrow. How's that for clustering? this works.

Ababy2love: Don't count yourself out yet. From the looks of your chart you got a lot of BD'ing in...Sperm can live inside someone for 2-5 days especially if you are fertile...maybe you will get lucky.

_snowwhite_: If you are 14 DPO it should definitely be safe to test by now.

spartiechic: and hope you get your BFP. I had an HSG and I hate to freak you out but with Ins it cost us just under a grand. Granted it may be different depending on location.

I started seeing an FS in Nov. And he has been very helpful. I just hope it pays off soon...but it does feel good that we have a specialist in our corner. But that first appt can be very emotional...lol, mine pretty much told me that everything I was doing or using was wrong. But he is the specialist and hasn't given up on us. Hang in there!

WhileImWaiting: I don't remember which one...I want to say Lovenox...but I think he said that or something close to it...he did say it would be a low dose of it. And will be in a form of a shot. that part freaks me out a bit...I hate needles, but like I said before I will do anything to have a healthy PG when the time comes.

The only thing the Hemotologist said was that I didn't have Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies now and that it must've been just a fluke 7 years ago. I guess that type of problem can show up and go away? I am just glad I don't have it now. I was tested for it 3 times within a 9 month period last year. He even said I could stop taking the baby aspirin...however my FS suggested I keep taking it as a preventative. So I am still taking it. The Hemotologist also suggested that since I have had blood clots before I am now capable of having it again and he is the one that suggested I take the shot as a preventative and my FS agreed. So, from my understanding, as soon as I miss a period I will go in for the blood test and when that says I am PG I start the shot.

AFM: I am so glad to see my +OPK. I think with my small temp dip maybe I will even O today. I have that strange metallic taste in my mouth along with dry mouth. It's a bit annoying. But I am just glad to see things progressing. Oh and my low back feels really stiff and achey.

to all of you who are testing

@spartiechic- most places will off a cash pay price for HSG testing and it's at a discount if you pay up front. Before I found out my ins would cover it I was going to a clinic that my RE recommended. It was going to cost ~550 as the cash pay price on day if service. Still a lot of money but certainly worth asking around to see who has the most affordable options. Good luck!

tjwjtw21: Oooh that is good to know...lol...that is cheaper than with Insurance.

I just want to say how appreciative I am of you ladies and I love how supportive everyone is! And I love how active this board is!

Sorry about your chemical chickray lots of baby dust to you!

Snowwhite: I think you should be far enough to test with accurate results... keep us updated! GL!

AFM, CD14/1 DPO .. I think .. had EWCM and +OPKs CD12/13 but today only a 0.2 degree temp rise from 97.01 to 97.22 and OPK is negative again. Hoping I'm just having a slow rise cause I really felt like I O'd yesterday. I felt pains on my left and was bloated. Today CM is watery and cervix still HSO but not as soft as yesterday. Only time will telll I guess. Maybe I'll tell DH we should try to bd again today just to cover our bases

So for now, as promised, I'm starting a book today, Divergent!

to all!

nice work on starting a book, babydust!!

speaking of pricing on all of this medical stuff, has anyone paid for a SA? DH has his appointment tomorrow, and I have no idea how much the bill is going to be.

Ok ladies, cramping is not as bad today but have noticed when I go to the restroom I see clear cm and the nausea has been worse today. Only 10 DPO so I will wait and retest this weekend. Fingers crossed

Thank you all for the positive encouragement. I hope so. I am just worried because I know that or I learned from Fertility friend (thanks Randall) that the the ewcm is what keeps the sperm alive for 2-5 days and I didn't witness any ewcm. I was quite dry. I feel bad though because I got really angry at future dh. I apologized though

ChickRay: sorry about the loss. I hope you your bfp and sticky bean this month.

bumpin4baby: ever since I been ttc I think i made my vagina feel any and every feeling that is known to man, woman, or baby kind (lol) it may be your cervix. I wish on everything I could remember being pregnant with my son.

And I have been being mean as well but I think mines is due to frustration. I work in a call center and I am just trying to rush them off the phone, accusing future dh of things (not cheating, I know he wouldn't do that. But again I think it is ttc stress.

Nicole2014: I hope you ovulated yesterday, baby dust to you.

Mriphenburg: yes, there is a myth that baby and animals know something is wrong with you. There is also one in regards to boy not being next to you because your having the opposite sex. However it is like the fish dream myth. It works for some and not for all.

Angelica2150: we are here for each other. Never be sorry for sharing. We all relate and been there done that and if we haven't we will sympathize and support. This is our ttc family. Nobody in our real world may understand what we are going through and cannot be there for you like you need that support because they may not be in the same position. We welcome sharing and teaching. In addition, yeah I hate when I spot to. It let's me know I am however I don't know when you ovulated so it can be late implantation.

Smiles8045: I hope you are bd. I didn't temp today by choice because I felt I was out so I said, why bother?

Jayne: I bd on cd 11, 12, & 13. I feel it didn't work. Something is telling me that it so didn't work.

Randall0123: your progress is looking good. Hope it stays high.

Lolo: I'm trying not count myself out but I feel it though. Good luck on the bd. glad you got your +opk

AFM: Nothing new. Anybody pee a lot when drinking Fertilitea?

Ababy2love, I'm 12dpo today. Im thinking of testing tomorrow.
Oh and about the dry cm, I have the same prob, from the clomid, have you tried conceive plus? Or pre seed? It makes things much easier.

Bumpin4baby sometimes I get a sharp stabbing pain in my vagina, it stops me in my tracks, gyni recons its from stress. Im not too sure though.

LOL...this thread is crazy busy!

angelica2510 - Rant away, better here with us who understand. And we will do what we can to support you. FX your spotting is implantation.

Bumpin4Baby - Hopefully the creamy cm is a good sign for you, a lot of people get increased cm before their BFPs! And I do seem to get bit by the $itch bug about 8-10 DPO, so maybe it is just hormones? And I have had those zingers, glad they are over with for you!

mriphenburg - My daughter was that way around that age even though we weren't TTC. It could just be the age, but like JayneB said, kids and dogs sense things we don't. My cat wouldn't leave me the day I miscarried, even followed me into the bathroom.

nicole2014 - Yah for rising temps! FX they stay up. And your chart looks good with the BD'ing!

ChickRay - So sorry about the CP, sometimes I think testing before missing AF causes more heartache. Hopefully the cramping is good sign for you, and the increased CM sound good!

Lolo1176 - Congrats on the OPK,good luck cathing the eggie! Sounds like you and I are at about the same point in our cycles. Have fun tonight!

babydust85 - If you still have fertile signs then I would BD just in case. Is that the book the movie is based on? I tend to like the books better then the movies.

Ababy2love - Watery CM is also still considered fertile and can help to support the spermies. I like the temping because it makes me feel proactive, like I am doing something even when there isn't really anything I can do KWIM? Even when I goober it up and don't temp right.

AFM, I fully intend to jump DH tonight and maybe tomorrow morning as well! I just feel like today or tomorrow I will O, and given I am SHOW right now (no EWCM, just watery) I figure the timing is right. And I am trying to stay positive, even if I don't get my BFP this month, at least I know I had fun trying. Keeping the focus on my intimacy with my DH has made this a much less stressful month for me. FX and baby dust everyone!
