@dragonfly - I'm still 5 days out from AF (due next Tuesday). I was worried about that too. So I did a 5 hr hold today and just took a dollar tree test and got a line there too, so it's not the brand. It's just early. And it's getting darker slowly but surely. OMGOMGOMG!! I'm starting to believe it... I'll do a digital on Tuesday to confirm.

Congrats @calvingirl you and I are the same dpo’s. I am pretty sure I have a positive. I have attached a picture. I’ll test again tomorrow. I’m not getting excited about anything yet because of my history. This cycle I used oovaboost, fertiltea, pre natal and baby aspirin

Chi-irish, yes! I see yours too! That is like tge 5th one in a few days I've seen! Bring on the jan babies!

Congratulations chi-irish! That's exactly what mine looked like - definitely a positive! Something must be in the water this spring!!

Calvingirl, are you having a dec or jan baby?

9dpo and BFN. AF is due tomorrow or the next day. Pretty much just waiting for it to show up now. I know I'm not out till AF shows, but with a short LP I don't like my chances.

I was planning on starting vitex and maca next cycle but Dr Google has conflicting information on if its ok to take while nursing. So now I'm not sure.

How is everyone else?

Sorry about your BFN Mistique. When you conceived your last baby was your LP also this short? Or, has it changed after pregnancy?

I’m thinking I will ovulate tomorrow at this point. I’m CD 15 and still had a High reading on my OPK, also a low temperature of 96.9. I will check again this afternoon. We’re BDing everyday this weekend to hopefully catch that egg! My CM has been streachy and egg white the last few days but there seems to be less quantity then my past two cycles so I might break out the pressesed. We bd to Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” last night! Lol! Afterward we discussed how many people have probably made love to that song. Has to be in the millions!

Flamingogirl, that is true. I bet millions is right! Lol. The 5 day O period is always the most fun! I always had to use preseed. When i was younger i had no problem with wetness but i guess it's true how some women decrease with age. I never knew about ewcm until 35 (late to the game) but since checking it i have never had it. I dont get wet during sex much the last 8 yrs. Maybe i have just got bored with the same sexual routine. Wait til dd asleep btwn 12-2pm. Hurry up, same position, same movements. HAHA! My bf is NOT sexual at all so i think i settled.
Mistique, took both of them but not while bf. I didnt start trying til i had quit. I bf for 14m and was done. I really hope your af stays away. Maybe you can ask your dr anout them while bf? I still take red maca.

10Dpo and another BFN.
kelliria - bub is 9 months old and I plan on BF for another 6 or so months. I'll definitely be checking with my Dr before i start anything. But it seems that vitex is ok in small doses, but too high can negatively affect your milk supply. Maca seems to be a solid no.

flamingogirl- before this baby I had a very regular 26/27 day cycle. O on CD14 and then a 12/13 day L.P. AF returned 6 months ago and has been anywhere from 22 to 36 days long. The last 3 I have been using OPKs and have O'd CD21/22 With a 9/10 day L.P. So AF has been getting more regular, but my L.P. seems to be staying short.
Good luck with catching that egg this weekend. I actually just had to Google that song because I had no idea what it was lol

Officially on TWW! OPK was at peak yesterday about noon. Unfortunately I wasn't home to check the rest of the afternoon it was still high today this afternoon. Chances look promising since hubby was home and not working.
