Thank you ladies! I'll wait and see what my Dr says today before i decide my ovulation day. If they do an ultrasound im sure that would help! If the egg was already released then i would know for sure it was yesterday! we'll see.

@Beaut1ful I think you have a very good plan for this next cycle. I'm with you on the weight gain as well ugh. I keep thinking that is a contributing factor. I'm trying to eat as "clean" as possible but i also need to start working out more.

@Beaut1ful38. That sounds like a good plan with the cycle planning as it will ease the stress of TTC. Eat healthy but don't loose too much weight as I read that there should be at a certain weight to be able to carry a baby for 9 months (saw something on FB on BabyGaGa). Right now, I am trying not to turn into a CCA (Cervix Checker Adict ) as I keep wanting to check it but keep having to refrain in case I feel something (open cervix) that might set my emotions off.

@ Dragonfly - There is a Tool on this website called the Pregnancy Test Timing Calculator. It goes off your ovulation date and tells you when the best time to test is. I think it probably uses a normal leutal phase and average implantation date to give you the best test dates. If you implanted early then I'd go back 2-3 days from what it tells you and try then. I would not test within 4 days of implantation as that could be way to early for me. You have to let that hormone build up! Some women get positives on 10dpo or 11dpo but I expect they have implantation early, as you might have. Good luck!

AFM I will not test until Friday December 15th at the earliest. That is my next expected period and I don't think I can handle testing early. I might have to wait until the 18th, which would be the longest cycle I've had and then see if AF comes or not. My cycles are much longer then yours though so you could test much earlier then me!

@FlamingoGirl13. Thank you for the information. I've done that in the past. I just thought there was an easier way. Will see how things go this week. I'm like you, don't want to test early if nothing happens and then at least you are saving a test. Should I change my countdown ticker as I am technically 8dpo and not 7dpo?

@ Dragonfly - I would change the ticker so it's more accurate!

@FlamingoGirl13. Thank you again. I will change it so then I am not confusing myself. Now, just need to figure out what day I ovulated on.

@FlamingoGirl13. Okay, so I have August and September added. Is there a way to search for forums that I commented on but has been longer than 48 hrs? Also changed my countdown ticker as well.

@Dragonfly - You can use the search bar to search for previous forum topics. I've done that before. There will be a few ads for the results but then the forum topics show up below that. For example I just searched for July 2018 babies and there are four ads and then the forum choices come up. Good luck!

I see your new ticker! Are you going to test on Friday?

@FlamingoGirl13. I think I am going to wait till the day of AF that way I can save a test here and there. It will be tempting to test on Friday and hope I can hold out the urge. You are only a couple days behind me.

@Dragonfly23 - We are super close and so is twwtoolong! We'd all have babies born within days of each other. The longer you wait to test the better chance of a nice big BFP!!

I want to be pregnant so bad right now. Does any one else get this achy feeling from wanting it so bad. I want these days to go by so I can test or get AF and start trying again. I always feel like I don't have enough time to get everything I want accomplished but then when I want time to pass quickly it goes sooooo slowly.
