I’m sorry, Southern. it’s so hard when you’ve timed everything right and did all the ‘right’ things and still don’t get your BFP.
Right now I’m 3 or 4dpo- not sure, got weird results with my OPKs this month. I’m not sure I like the advanced digital showing a peak for 48 hours and not being able to test again during that time. I’m not sure when it dips back down, and that’s usually when I believe I ovulate. I’m not sure I hit any of the right times anyway, so I’m not thinking this is my month and I’m feeling okay with that (it might help that the existing children have been more or less feral since Christmas).

Well, looks like I'll most likely be out this month. My temp dropped pretty far down. Not below the coverline but last month the drop in temp was my first clue. I guess I can hope it goes back up again tomorrow and that I was mouth breathing making my temp lower. My mouth was a bit dry. I'll test but I'm thinking I'm out and the temp drop is an indicator of af soon to come.

Pandorica hopefully some work will distract you from the tww!

Southern I really hope your temps will change and af will stay away!

Vintage don’t count yourself out yet. Sperm can live inside females body up to 5 days and your body has proven you that you’re more than capable to conceive in the past so I’m having everything crossed for you!

Alex - Unfortunately, it's usually the other way around. After a days work I'm usually so exhausted mentally that I barely have the energy to do anything at all, which means I have all the time in the world to be analyzing and thinking about stuff. It's when I have my time off and have energy to do stuff that I can keep myself distracted. Thankfully it's only a few days I have to try and keep myself occupied/distracted.

Alex: Unfortunately my temp is lower today than yesterday. I expect I'll see af today or tomorrow. I'm not gonna hope breathing through mouth affected my temp THAT much. Doubtful. Especially with the change in cm being in line with what it does right before af vists.

I felt waves of nausea as I was feeding the baby this morning and got excited. I didn’t have morning sickness with my first. Negative on frer at 8dpo

russian: BFN sucks! But 8 dpo is early. There's still plenty of time for a bfp.

7 dpo and still no other symptom than dull ache located on my right side. No work to distract me today. I woke up with pains in my shoulder/arm, which means working 8 hours in front of a computer writing gets a bit hard. I hope it's only temporary. I have felt a bit sore in my arm from time to time and certain movements hurt. But not this much. Sitting in my sofa with my laptop is ok, at least for a few minutes. If it doesn't disappear in a day or two I think it's time to see a physio.

Pandorica muscle pains are always the worst if you don’t treat them properly. Hopefully you’ll find someone to help!
Any updates ttc wise?

Southern how are you girl?

Russian it’s still too early! Hopefully two pink lines will come up in the next few days.

AFM I’m now cd13 and I’m almost certain that I’m 2dpo. I ovulated from my right side and there’s no doubt about it. The pain was extremely severe more than af cramping to the point I was wondered that maybe I had a cyst or something. Fortunately it faded away. Our timing is on point and from now on only thing I can do is keeping my fingers crossed. Hubby is very invested in this cycle. I don’t know why! Maybe we’ll have our miracle!

8 dpo today and I caved.. I can see a faint line, but I'm not going to trust it until I hopefully see a stronger line. Still have that dull ache, but as of last night I also have heartburn on and off and a tender like feeling in my boobs (very minor). I so want this to be it!

This is fmu (top) vs smu (bottom). I so understand if you don't see anything, because I barely do! Haven't tried these brand in years, så tried one yesterday to check for evaps and couldn't see any. So i hope what I'm seeing is the start of something.

Alex, I’m so hopeful for you! It would be amazing if you got your BFP this month!
Pandorica, I think I can see what you see, but those squinters are hard to catch. My eyes absolutely play tricks on me when I’m looking for something. Or maybe my tests are just prone to evaps. I really hope your line gets darker, keep us updated!
I’m 6dpo (may be 7, but I want to convince myself it’s earlier so I don’t go down too many rabbit holes too soon). Sore boobs still and nothing else. Expecting AF next Thursday, but I know I ovulated earlier this month, so it could be anytime after Sunday. I want to hold off testing for the full two weeks- I don’t think that’s going to happen. But at least until Sunday or Monday.
