Hey girls! @Bug i'm sorry about your loss and @beck you never know so just BD when you can! I'm 5 DPO today and still my temps are not as high as i am used to, but they are all above coverline. Do you guys think this is a sign of low progesterone? Last cycle (BFP) my temps were high and kept climbing. I'm almost 0.5 degrees cooler this month. Don't know what to think about that. Maybe its just my body trying to regulate still after M/C. Anyway, i'm hopeful for a BFP this month but since i haven't had a period yet since M/C i know that it is unlikely and we will be trying again next month. My LP is 16 days so i will know about 10 days from now where i'm at. So frustrating. Just want a healthy sticky baby. Until last cycle i thought the biggest hurdle was seeing that second pink line -- but now i know better.

My full flow is officially late, been dealing with some nausea but I’m not trying to get my hopes up gonna wait out a little longer to test baby dust for all

@lissa my average temp fluctuates a lot. My temps have been higher the last two months than they have for months. I think it’s normal.
@JL getting closer to your TWW!
@Keke you haven’t tested at all? You have way more will power than I do!
AFM: I’m 8 dpo and just absolutely exhausted. Got home this morning from vacation, and I can barely function. Probably going to take me a couple of days before I feel rested. My boobs seem to be a little bigger and fuller, but that’s it. Not much for symptoms at all.

@momma I’m so used to ending up bleeding i stopped buying pregnancy tests till after i missed a couple days

Another today. Feeling like I’m out! AF due within the next 3 days

This cycle is absolutely buggered. I usually ovulate day 21 which would be tomorrow, but doesn’t look like that will be the case. I hope it’s not TOO delayed, hubby should be home tomorrow late night until Wednesday so I’m hoping it happens maybe Mon-Thu next week but with it being after this miscarriage who knows if I’ll even ovulate. Think next cycle I’ll try the clear blue digital OPKs

@Beck your body won't reset to a new cycle until the HCG is out of your system. So for purposes of when you might ovulate you may want to consider your first BFN as the beginning of this cycle. That being said i've had both a CP and a BO and both times I ovulated almost exactly on the correct day counting the first day of bleeding as CD1. Keep taking your OPKs and check CM & CP to get an idea of when your surge is coming. You may want to pick up one of digital ones that also detects estrogen which happens 2-5 (or so) days before your LH surge. They are pricey tho. Good thing he's coming home -- just BD as much as you can when he's home because you never know when it might surprise you! After my M/C i didn't get an estrogen surge and my LH spiked very quickly and i would have missed it if i had been waiting for an estrogen surge.

@hdkelly congrats momma! H&H 9 months to you!

AFM: I got the progesterone cream last night in the mail and used it before i went to bed. My temp shot up to my normal post-O temp this morning which could be coincidence but i think the cream may really be working!! I used it again this morning as you are supposed to apply 2x per day. 6 DPO today and 10 more days until my test date. No symptoms except my skin is clearing up like it normally does after O.

Another temp dip for me this morning. Thinking I’m definitely out this month. again.

I'm loosely tracking this month..I use this app and one called flo..they don't seem to be in tune..flo says ovulation is today and this says in two days..have had sex this morning anyway.. Next month in plan to tempt and use books to narrow down my O day. I see y'alls charts but those look confusing to me..I gotta learn

@hdkelly congrats!!! A great reminder, too, that symptoms can very from pregnancy to pregnancy!

AFM just torturing myself through my tww. Felt nauseous this morning, but unfortunately I’ve had nausea on and off since my last successful pregnancy (3years ago!!) when I had HG.

Can’t even feasibly start testing until next week, but still did this AM. BFN, duh. I don’t know why I do this to myself! Hoping a trip this weekend for Easter will take my mind off of it.

Good luck everyone! Fingers crossed for sticky beans :)
