Hi, Ladies! I'm on CD13 today. I'm feeling quite positive and optimistic about this month and I've never felt this way about TTC since we started TTC. My OPKs look like I may O sooner than expected. We will see.

GL and baby dust! <3

Here's the link to my tests this morning. Don't make fun of me and my 4 tests!!

Jgroves- Lol you are funny girl. I will post the tests for you I don't laugh at your 4 different tests, because I have been right there with you! It's like it's not real until all of the darn brands give you a BFP. Last month a digi never showed positive for me so I will consider that a huge milestone when I conceive again!

I already feel like this is a bad month for us.

I got my positive OPK yesterday on CD18 right on schedule. Still had the EWCM, too so everything looked good. Then my temp dipped this morning to 96.7 so I definitely believe I'm ovulating today.

Bad news is hubby left yesterday for business and we tried yesterday, but I think I put too much pressure on him and he couldn't complete the mission (sorry if TMI).

So we BD-ed CD15 & 17, attempted but failed CD18, ovulation CD19. The timing is further away than I would like it to be but nothing I could do I guess. We'll see.

Well, I just scheduled a semen analysis for hubby for Weds...Ill have to drop off the sample before work, oh joy. lol! This should be fun! Asked the lady if my husband has to "come" with me to the appointment and giggled to myself.

16dpo, negative hpt yesterday, not pregnant, no period. CD 36. Sigh..Can I have just one normal month?

Thank god for aggressive doctors!!! Ladies if your Doctor gives you the "wait a year" speech, its time to switch to someone else! Time waits for none of us, especially those of us with a 3 in front of our age (ill be there in January, eek!!!)

@myluckyduck: keep the optimism flowin lady! Spread it around to all of us gals!!

@jgroves: I love those 4 beautiful tests!!!

@penny-DO NOT GIVE UP!!! I def thought I was out this month too.

I ovulated evening of CD12 and we BD CD 7, CD 8 and wee early morning of CD 11. Didn't get to BD on O day or after AT ALL. Last BD was about 36 hours BEFORE O and we caught the egg! It can/will happen!!

jgroves - have you had your labs drawn yet?

acrichton - I'm sorry - I hope things speed up for you! That's no fun!

@Luckyduck: You are one day ahead of me this cycle... I am CD12 today! :)) *cycle buddies*

Beatles - I'm so sorry for your loss. Positive thoughts for your next cycle.

jgroves - Hoping for positive news with blood draws. You again give me a glimmer of hope since you said you felt out this month but got the BFP!

penny - completely understand your predictament. My DH has similar issues, so hoping some upcoming testing will shed some light on why and if there is something that can be done to help. It may not be something that a little blue pill can fix, though. So not sure what we will be doing in that case.

Myluckyduck - positive thoughts! Gotta remind me to have them too! :)

GVMDL - to you. Glad to hear this cycle seems somewhat normal! Hoping the line goes dark right when it should and you get the BFP!

Rebecca - hoping you get a line tomorrow!

Bammom - Happy belated birthday! Hoping for your birthday wish to come true. Good luck with your testing tomorrow. I gave in today at 7DPO (but midafternoon, not even FMU) and BFN :(

Sorry if I missed anyone.

AFM: 7DPO (maybe 8, but FF says 7 so that's what I'm using right now - CTP is way off, moved my coverline up since I had two high temps the last 2 days, and it's not recognizing O). I'm wondering if FF will suggest my chart went tri-phasic if my temp is still high tomorrow. It's hovering at 98.3 the last 2 days, with coverline at about 97.5. I didn't track symptoms this cycle, but what I have noticed so far is a combo of restlessness and tiredness, increased hunger (I was STARVING at 2:30, when usually I can make it til 3:30-4). Had a bit of a runny nose this morning as well. Cramping has been significant - I had it last month with a BFN so I'm not counting on that symptom much, but it's worse than last month. And the temp spike. For those of you with BFPs, did you have the temp spike 6ish days after O???

My Ovulation Chart - posting this since CTP's chart is not pretty looking this month.

Okay guys, I got my labs back. My HCG was 44, but today is 14 DPO so they said that was good. At first they said it was low but then when I told them only 14 DPO they said that's good. They want me to come back and redraw on Wednesday.

ALso, my progesterone was 16. I don't have much of a reference for that but I understand you want it to be at least 15 or so?

Anyone have a clue?

One day at a time.
