Hi ladies... I am now 10 dpo. I had some light red/pink spotting yesterday that turned brown so I am hoping it was IB, as I had some pressure/cramps the day before at 8 dpo. I might test tomorrow but should probably wait. I am temping and all looks good so far. Anyone with me? I would love some support!

@kkmama I'm only testing at the end of the week but we're here for support

@mamanettie i used the CB digital ovulation kit (the one that also detects estrogen). I've been using it for two months and here is my experience. Before i started using them i would have told you my cycle was normal (about 31 days with O around CD15-17). Both months i started testing once a day starting on CD 10. The first month i got my first "high" on CD 15. I then starting testing twice a day (morning and afternoon) until I got my LH surge. I do this because my LH surge is SUPER short (due to my age) so i know when i see it that it is time to get busy. I then had a delayed ovulation -- lots of EWCM and "high" readings on the test for 7 days (supposed to be only 2 days). I have a CP that month. This month, i started again on CD 10. I didn't know what to expect after the CP. I got the first "high" reading on CD 12 and then tested again 2x per day waiting for LH surge. I missed the thursday afternoon test which is when i think LH surge happened because i never got the "peak" reading with subsequent tests. But Fertility Friend did confirm ovulation on Friday based on BBT and i noted ovulation pain on Friday. I would say that the test has been very helpful to me by confirming i'm in my fertile window, but i have really good CM so i usually know when the window is. I still have another kit to use for next month so i will use it one more month and then probably switch to the regular LH strips and test multiple times per day.

As for this month i'm 4 DPO today and waiting for AF or maybe to test. I'm scared to test after the CP last month. to all of you still testing or waiting to test!

Hey ladies! Sorry for not responding to everyone posting after me but my internet connection is so shitty for some reason, it’s been so difficult to go to this last page.

I hope everyone is doing physically and mentally ok! To whoever AF came I’m sending big hugs and positive vibes for a healthy and lucky new cycle.

To anyone who is waiting to test I’m more than exited to see as many as possible BFPs in the next few days and I know that the anticipation is killing you. Try to think positive and as Dee told some time ago, just enjoy this “ignorant bliss” !!!

To the ladies who are waiting to ovulate like me! Let’s go catch that egg!!! lol Hopefully our BD timing will do the trick this cycle! Fingers crossed for all of us ladies! Our turn will come soon

Well end of day (Lol it's 4pm) update for me... My boobs don't hurt as much as they did yesterday, still tender but not super sore. I had more twinges and pinching today especially on my left side... CM is still dry although I though it was gushing out of me so I ran to the bathroom but nothing My cervical position yesterday was super high and closed, today it is still high but it feels like its starting to open... I think that's a sign that I have to start preparing for AF tomorrow but hopefully not... I want to test so so bad but I don't want to waste money on a negative test so I'm holding out super bad until I officially missed AF (3 days till cd30 which is the latest I can show) or at least till Friday... I don't know where I'm standing anymore I'm walking around the entire day going "I'm gonna be doing this pregnant" which is something that I had with my first pregnancy but I had it while not being pregnant as well and AF showed so I don't know emotionally where I'm at... I'm absolutely terrified of AF showing because I think I built my hopes up so badly that I'll be crushed if not pregnant but I'm also terrified that if I am pregnant that it'll end again so right now im hoping for the best...

There's also a tiny little bump or rough edge on the opening of my cervix which is weird I don't think I noticed it before but I was at the OBGyn 2 months ago so I'm not concerned about that yet and I am going again in 4 months which seems like a lot of time but it's really not

it was negative guys, I promised I wouldn't cry but that was a lie. I feel so numb, if it wasn;t because I had to work this morning I would probably have had a few drinks.
I feel beaten and cheated. this sucks.

We are in our 2nd year of actively trying although we technically have been trying for 3 years. We have done 3 IUI's (MFI) and are scheduled for 3 more. We have taken some time away to try and get our minds to relax, lose some weight, get a healthier eating lifestyle going etc. So we have been on a hiatus for 3 months. I really want a baby (as well all do).
I was able to relax a bit over the holidays and not symptom spot, but this month i am going crazy!! I am only 7 DPO. There are no symptoms to spot yet...

DeeCar05 So sorry girl! I always think I won't be too disappointed or cry... but I always do! Don't give up!

Oh dee... I'm so sorry lovely.
