Ddsmom, awesome news about your temps! That sounds like implantation dip Ahhh so exciting! I hope this is your month! I've a feeling! Do you check cp? Ahhh tomorrow is testing day for you! I'll be stalking

Jane doe, oh your dh might notice the subtle changes more than you might! How exciting, let's hope he's right! It takes a lot for men to notice something so that's excellent news . Totally agree with you about prices of tests. I'd be broke if i relied solely on frer haha.

Afm, so thankful for you girls this cycle. Been missing having friends on here since my break! DH is away tonight so I'll get a good sleep finally! Looking forward to that haha . Some strange cramps but again could be nothing at all ! I'm not feeling pregnant at all but we will see !

So excited for you guys testing tomorrow will you let me know when you test? I'm bursting with excitement to see some bfps for you guys! So much baby dust to you lovely ladies

ELGtrying-it is helping distract me. I simply do not have time to obsess. Hoping for the best. My 20 strips that came with the opks will help with the testing anxiety. I will wait until later (hopefully) to buy the frer. Who knows I may break down at 10dpo and buy them. I did find it interesting that according to opks I shouls have ovulated about day 16. In the last two cycles I had thought it was more like day 13 of course I didn't have any opks then. If the O date was more like this month at 16, we may have missed my O the last two times. I think we BD 3 days and 2 days before cd 16. While that isn't too early it could have been better. I think we have our bases covered this time.
I am broke out today hope that is a good sign. I also had a few cramps. Good luck Jane and everyone else!

BFN for me this morning (9dpo).

I had a big dip in my BBT this morning (-0.65 degF). AF is due on Saturday. Maybe it's an implantation dip, or maybe AF is going to rear her ugly head early. I guess we'll see!

Thanks for the support! Good luck, everyone! :-D

this morning.

Having a bit more spotting today as well, don't know whether to take it as a good sign or a bad sign, but my temps are still up so I'm hopeful.

Sorry to hear about the BFN Jane_doe, I'll have my fingers crossed that that dip is implantation and not AF! To answer your question, my past cycles I used Wondfo and FRER, but the Wondfos kept giving me very convincing evaps, and I've spent a small fortune on FRER, so this cycle I'm using Dollar Store and Walmart .88 tests. If I get a line on either of those I'll go grab a digital to confirm since those dang Wondfos gave me trust issues, lol.

Hey Jane Doe, did your temps go back up this morning? that they did! Please update us. I'm so sorry about your BFN, but it's early days.

DDsMom, how were your temps this morning? Still up? Could be implantation bleeding?

I'm cheering you on ladies, hope you get your in the next couple of days. Both sound so promising.

Temp went back up about 0.2deg today, but not all of the way back up. I'm feeling AF type cramps and got another bfn this morning, but we'll see!

DDsMom, I'm sticking with the cheap tests too, but every once in a while I end up picking up the FRER pack. I'm fortunate that I haven't seen any evaps on my internet strips, yet. That would freak me out!

How are you feeling, Em?

I should have waited 10 minutes before my last post. I'm out this month.....

Good luck to the rest of you!!!

So sorry to hear that Jane. I hope you have different results next month.

I am not really having many symptoms. I am at 5DPO now. One sort of odd thing happened yesterday. I was so incredibly scatterbrained that I felt like I was thinking through mud. I remember having that happening with my first so many many years ago, but I thought it was later in the pregnancy. Other than that, the most noticeable thing is the large amounts of CM for this time of the month. It isn't excessive, but it is a good bit more than usual. It is still the consistency just not quite stretchy but not really lotion like or creamy. It is globby (is that a word?). I can't wait til it is time to really start testing. I have 20 of the internet cheapies so I can test to my heart's content.

Hoping for the rest of you guys on this thread still hanging in there.

Had some bright red spotting and cramping yesterday evening, and temps fell below the coverline this AM, so I feel like I'm pretty much out, even though that would be a much shorter LP than I usually have. Of course, I dug the hpt I took this morning out of the trash and there was a faint line, but I'm fairly confident it's an evap.
11 dpo tomorrow, hoping I don't wake up to AF!!

I am still hanging in there at 9dpo. I don't feel very hopeful but who knows. I had odd sort of cramp like sensations that took my breath away very low in my pelvic area. It did that for off and on for about 30 to 45 min. It felt like a cross between a cramp and a nerve twinge. I tested this AM but obv it is early.
