@GVMDL: Thank you for posting :) That makes me feel better.. Starting to get down in the dumps because of my temps not really showing anything because I know how I am feeling and I had two days of strong positive opks. Glad to hear a doctor's perspective on temping... :)

everybody :)

@museli - congrats! I see a faint line, too! How exciting.

@gvmdl & jennavee - thanks for the response. I hate having a new "symptom". The normal ones get me messed up enough! I won't get too excited, and just wait and see. The times I've been pregnant I never knew until I missed my period...trying to pay attention to how I feel every day is hard because it makes me get my hopes up. Can't wait to get the fertility monitor later this month. (Although knowing me, I'll still obsess.)

@ Museli! WOW! Have you taken anymore tests! Definitely a faint line there!

I'm still having pretty consistent cramping in my lower right abdomen, but I tested this morning and BFN. I'm not sure how many DPO I am, most likely either 8 or 9, but could be 10. I know it's still early, but yeah. I'm trying not to get depressed. ugh.

My due date for the baby we lost via miscarriage is next month - October 28. I was really hoping to be pregnant by then, thinking it might ease the blow on that day. There's still time I guess.

1st: im no expert but i gather that several factors will affect our temps... my dh sets the alarm at 5am, he snoozes for about 45 infuriating minutes, which at some point i temp. Then my cold, etc etc etc... it cant be that accurate. My doc delivered my girls, i see him since 2004. No dictor is perfect and i do think once u become a long time patient they seem not to pay much attention to your problems.. so i am glad the nurse messed up n now they are showing initiative!
He is totally open to red raspberry leaf tea, and any ither holistic approach even though cant be scientificly proven. He is open minded.
he also mentioned that cm cant be reliable fir everyone either. A combination of methods is better. And tgen the blood test to further proof is icing on the cake.
Try not to feel in the dumps because this process is hard but it also brings soooo much knowledge .. when u think is time to place a call to ur doctor think of how much info u will bring to the table?!? N probably save u tons of time.
Hang in there!

@GVMDL: I have thought about making an appointment, but I don't know if they would take me seriously due to me only being 23 and the fact that this is only my second cycle off birth control... Guess it's probably my own insecurities holding me back. Maybe if I am not pregnant by November I'll call. That gives me another cycle to try if I don't get a BFP this cycle....

I don't want to sound like a b-word, but Hubby wouldn't DTD last night. He was exhausted and not feeling well. I still feel a little crushed though because if we don't have BD at the right time...it doesn't do much for the baby making...

GL & Baby Dust!

OMG myluckyduck, I know exactly how you feel! DH didn't want to dtd last night either (um, hello, right after I got a peak fertility reading), so I made him do it this morning! I could tell he wasn't in to it though. I shouldn't complain I guess, since more often than not he is raring and ready to go.

But still, how disappointing! Such a small window every month, our SOs need to suck it up and put in a good effort! Us ladies can do most of the work, but we still need them to show up

Just an update.... took another opk test just now.. and negative. I will probably take another one later this evening just to be sure.. Cervix is still high but not really soft but not hard either, and I am pretty sure it is closed.. Hoping this means we caught the "O"!!!
