AFM: only a 3 day af even though I had a 37 day cycle, last time that happened I ovulated properly and got pregnant, that was a couple of months ago, here’s hoping for this cycle that I ovulate again x

@Sam your chart is super confusing but you got baby dancing in on all of the days which is good girl keep doing that !!

@emma i really hope you get it this cycle babe !!

AF from hell showed. Cramping 5x more badly than usual. Is that normal for chemical? I had one chemical 5 years ago and remember cramping worse with it as well. Bleeding seems brighter red, too. Honestly kind of relieved it's finally happening so I don't have to keep guessing and being tortured. Now I can move on and forward.

Thinking of trying to temp this cycle along with opks...

@Crystal - so sorry that it's a chemical for you too. My period egen I have a chemical are pretty much the same as my regular period. I get a little bit of discomfort, but not much cramping at all. So if I didn't test before af then I wouldn't know the difference.

We'll have to keep our fingers crossed that we get the best christmas gifts ever.

@anna thanks! The sharp pinching pains were killer yesterday.

@sam your chart is so confusing to me! Definitely looks like you covered all of your bases with bding though!

@lawrence I didn’t get a positive opk till cd22. Definitely still have time!!

@emma I definitely think this new cycle is yours!!!

@crystal I am so sorry! I can’t imagine how hard it has to be.

AFM: today seems to be better than yesterday. No sharp pains yet but it is still early in the day. My chest is still sensitive. DH went to give me hug last night and I made a little yelp lol he was shocked it was hurting that bad. Staying hopeful and still a little crampy today. So hard to wait to find out!! I am only 7 dpo so not going to take a test till at least 8-9 dpo!

@Pandorica: my fingers are crossed for us for Christmas babies!!!!

@Anna: your line looks AMAZING!!

@Shay: thank you. I'm surprisingly ok today, just relieved I can get this over with now and try again in a couple weeks... sounds like good signs! My boobs bothered me starting at around 4 or 5dpo, so great sign! Hope to see you get that BFP soon!

Doing surprisingly well considering. Just spending my day off with my two boys while hubby works. Cleaning house and spending time with them helps. Got a thermometer so I can start temping when bleeding stops... ready to try again!

Ladies, why do my positives seem to come and go? I'm already bleeding bright red pretty heavily and cramping very badly... how long does it take for chemicals to stop giving off hcg?

@crystal so sorry about the chemical. I did get heavier bleeding and more cramping after mine in August. My tests turned negative the day before AF arrived though
@Anna lines look great!!!!
@Shay hoping you get that BFP in the next couple of days!!!

@crystal I had heavy bleeding and positive hcg with my ectopic. Keep an eye on it and if you are concerned definitely get a blood count over a couple of days to check your numbers xx

Thanks ladies. Definitely feeling off today. Burning cramps as well as an occasional sharp pain. Chest still hurts some but nothing crazy. Feeling super exhausted for sure! Even took a nap. Feeling nauseous this evening with some heart burn too. Still trying to not test as I will only be 8 dpo tomorrow. Trying to wait till 9 dpo but got some Walmart cheapies today....I am a definite POAS lol
