So other than my elevated temp for the day, I checked cm and cervix. Cervix was very high and closed from what I could feel of it (it was that high), cm looked like white snot (stretchy in consistency).

@Scarlettmoon - I might have missed it but did you test again today?

@flamingogirl23 I haven’t tested since the three negatives on Sunday. I’m getting a test tomorrow.

Good morning/afternoon all! I tested again this morning with what appears to be another bfn I’m now 3 days late for AF at 18dpo. I googled the brand of the tests I have, clinicalguard, and saw some mixed reviews. Does anyone have any experience with that brand? I figure if AF isn’t here over the weekend I’ll just buy a better brand. I don’t think that I really feel pregnant but my cramps are different this cycle. Usually I’m doubled over in pain right before the witch arrives but I’d describe these cramps as more of a pressure.
How is everyone else doing?

@dragonfly I checked out today’s bfp and it’s darkening nicely!! so excited for you!!

@dragonfly. It def looks darker! Also about the progesterone, I briefly mentioned a possible luteal phase deficiency (low progesterone) a while back and to talk to your doc about getting some blood drawn. At this point I’d recommend that you keep taking it (it won’t hurt you or the baby) but def let your ob know you’re taking it. In IVF we recommended women take it for 12-13 weeks normally

@3JHope. I haven't heard of that brand before but it could mean that the test isn't that sensitive. I would most definately get a different test and hope you will get better results.

@photomama. Thank you for your response. I was taking the chance and just trying the cream to see if that makes a difference and apparantly it did. I know that stopping the cream may result in a early miscarriage and don't want to take the chance. I will make an appointment with the doctor and will let him know that I am taking it. How are things progressing for you? Are you having any symptoms?

Hey ladies! Hoping for more good news soon! When does everyone plan to test?

AFM, 9dpo today. I have not been tracking symptoms, the only things I have noticed (because I couldn't ignore it) were some mild random pains in the ovary/uterus regions, and continual creamy CM. Considering buying some FRER and start testing tomorrow. If no BFP this cycle I will be making a March appointment with my OBGYN. Considering buying the progesterone cream also. Any recommdations in that area? And what vitamins does everyone use?

@ksyd94 I’ve had creamy cm that seems to have gone today. Also 9dpo. Stupidly tested this morning and of course a bfn. Will probably use the second one in the morning, then I’m away and can’t test again until tues when af is due anyway.

I’m also interested in the answers to your questions! I’m taking folic acid but nothing else. And I probably only remember to take it every other day...

I feel out this month as well. 8 dpo. Cramping in my ovaries.
I take prenatal, vit e, b complex with c added, and co q10. Im on clomid, take guaifensin from end of period til O, and use pre-seed.

May try progesterone cream if ny cycle is short this month. Norm is 28 days but was 24 last month with 11 day luteal. Im cd22 and feel like im going to start again.
