1st - Those absolutely look like positives to me. Get to it!

While - Thank you. I would prefer to use the 2nd temps of course, lol. And 8:30 is my usual time. I'm only 3DPO if they are right so I have plenty of time to see them still go up. Wishing you luck for your test tomorrow. I'm sure this wait is killing you.

While: didn't find anything relevant on the internet about the stagnant hcg numbers but still praying your numbers go up tomorrow. Some women are slow hcg risers... who knows. How are you feeling anyways?

1st: I love seeing the progression of your opk's. Looks like a positive to me.

Bam: did you test today? I think you are testing tomorrow right? Fx for that line to get darker.

Penny: I have no clue on bbt temps, this is my third cycle charting and it is very confusing dear. I had better charts the previous cycles, this one seems to be so weird. I had 97.9 for like 4 consecutive days pre O, and I usually have temps higher right after or during O. this month it is in the low 98's.

I tested positive on opk's the past three days, will see again tonight. I am starting to believe that so many supplements are possibly causing it too. So I have stopped maca, royal jelly, vitex, rrl tea. Just doing my prenatals, folic acid and vitamin d that I have done for years. I am continuing with the wheatgrass though as it is a great supplement for the overall health. Lets see in three months if I stop testing positive on opk's for so many days.

I am also booking an apt with fertility specialist for December.
Just to consult. Let's see how that goes :o)

Christi I misspell your name a bunch of times and my iphone doe sthe other half... Sorry!

Jgroves: how are you feeling?

Acrichton: when do you hear back from the docs ?

Kot: how are u?

Kizzy / Rebecca / SMC / Blushing: how are u?

Ok, now I have to go back to school to help with the first graders. I did kindergarten this morning and OMG I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE those kids....

Talk to you all later!

Danielle

Thanks Ladies!

I'm starting to think yesterdays wasn't positive after all.... The hubby says its wasn't positive, just really close :) He likes to get involved when looking at tests.... He sees it as a "challenge"... Haha :) ... But we did bd last night anyway :)

I just took another one this am and I'm sure it's now positive! So, definitely will be at it again tonight!!! :)

Genie: Your symptoms and everything still look very promising, 9/10 DPO is still early. Did you test today?
I understand that there is a temp dip during implantation, maybe you implanted yesterday?
and

Cristi: You have multiples in the family? Pains on both sides could mean egg(s) from each side.
I've been having pains on both sides since yesterday too, and line got darker, thinking ovulation today, I hope, although temps are not promising, still low.
I hope you get the test results soon, and everything is just fine!
If we both ovulate today we'll have the same TWW .
It is interesting what you said about losing a loved one, a friend of mine has the same theory, she lost someone close both times she was pregnant.
You know I am like that too, just not feeling it this cycle, I have this "it is what it is" attitude this time. What CD are you on today?
As for your question, if you ovulated yesterday, and BD'd Monday and last night you are definitely not out, did you use preseed? (2 days before ovulation is the best time to conceive according to tons of online research).

GVMDL: Thanks . Apparently blue cervix is a sign of pregnancy if it is week 6-8, but any other time it is just a sign of high estrogen, I never heard of it before either, but did research now that I knew I had it...
Good call on the fertility specialist, here we have like a 2 year wait for that.
Eggs have a 90 day cycle, how long have you been doing the supplements?

While: All of us here are praying for you!

SMC: I hope the newborns gave you some good energy and your body will give you one too .
and

Carla: Sorry got you, but it is a new start, new hope. Your approach sounds great, I thought about it, but I only started tracking 3 months ago, so I am still getting to know my body, and I am afraid if I stop I will miss something ( my mind's excuses).
How long have you been TTC?
EPO delayed your ovulation? Maybe that is what happened to me this month, maybe I'll hold off on it next time, my ovulation is over a week late.

jgroves: That is super interesting, thank you for sharing!

rebecca: whats suppositories?
Wow you have a really tough life story, makes for an amazing woman! Wouldn't it be nice if all of us could just meet daily for an hour?
Also, everything is possible, you're not out until shows up, I still have my for you .

myluckyduck: It is so great you have that feeling!!! Either one of your planned sequences works, best day to conceive is 2 days before ovulation, so you are set! Good luck!!!
Yeah, when DH is getting difficult I just do all the work and he does not complain about that....
Are you using preseed?

Lacey: Missed you . Great news with the test results, and
and

pennylane: What if you use your second temps? They are more in line with your normal temp time right?
Also, it sounds like you are having some early symptoms, are you tracking you symptoms?

1stTTC: Congrats!!! It is definitely positive! Happy 0DPO!!!!
and

Blushing, Kizzy, did I miss anyone?: How are you doing?

AFM: CD24, and still no DPO ... But the line got a lot darker yesterday and I have pains on both sides (hopefully 2 eggs)...
Although I am afraid something is wrong, my temps are still really low, they will go up tomorrow with ovulation tonight... we'll see in the evening what the OPK says...
BDing 2 days ago, yesterday, and hopefully today in efforts to catch that egg (or eggs ), with Preseed, one applicator left, so I hope this is it.

kotikd - The second set of temps are more in line with what time I usually temp at. I hit around 8:30 most mornings. The lower temps were 3-4 hours earlier than usual. I have the higher temps in FF right now and it is giving me a solid O day. So I'm going to stick with those and see what happens over the next few days.

I'm tracking my symptoms a bit. i don't really like the symptom tracking in FF and prefer to do that here, but since the charts seem stuck at the day before the site went down I'm having trouble. I did have stabbing pains in my boobs last night and a weird "full" feeling in my abdomen but that's probably just gas or something. Plus I had a dream last night that I had a blazing positive HPT right before I woke up the first time needing to pee. And I've still been peeing like a racehorse all day eventhough I haven't drank more than usual. In fact all i've had to drink is 1 cup of coffee and half a naked juice. But like I said. I'm only 3DPO so I feel like it's WAY to early for any of this to be symptoms. I wouldn't have even implanted yet I think? idk. I'll admit, I'm not very good with all this biology stuff. That's why I love reading what you ladies have to say.

Just lurking ladies, just lurking. I'm trying to be really low key this tww. I'm only 7dpo and just trying to wait it out. I do not plan on testing until I make it all the way to 14dpo, if I make it that far. We shall see. Last month I only made it to 7. I usually have an 11 day luteal phase so I'm thinking if no af by 14dpo we should be good for a BPF ;)

Much luck to you ladies!

LuckyDuck, hope your gut is right! :)

Genie you aren't out just yet! FX!

Lacey that all sounds so amazing! FX and prayers that you catch that egg!

1st, I think it is safe to say you are about to enter the TWW! FX and prayers!

GVMDL, lol no worries! :) Hoping you stop getting days of positive OPKs and just get that one!

While, I just wanted to let you know I am saying prayers that everything comes back okay tomorrow. Hugs.

Kotkid, the only multiples in our family is one of my mom's cousins had twins... the twins are 46 now and no multiples since then. I O'ed yesterday (the 23rd) for sure... OPKs are now negative! We didn't use preseed. I am CD 23 and 1 DPO. I hope you O today so we can be in the TWW together... although I will probably make myself a crazy person. Ha! FX and good luck to O and I hope you have 2 eggs releasing! :)

Kizzy, FX and loads of baby dust and sticky vibes being sent your way!

AFM, 1 dpo (I think lol).... ready for a shocker? I normally have about 20 of the cheapie hpt tests in my cabinet... even though we were at Wal-Mart last night, I refuse to buy them yet. I told my hubby I will buy some on 11/4/13 if no AF! :) Lets see how long I can stick to that! Have a great day everyone.

Rebecca- I don't think what you said sounds disrespectful maybe because I agree with you. But for me, it just as hard has losing my loved ones. Its like losing a loved one over and over again. Peace and strength is what we all need. Also, you could be right about the HCG not being in your system if you implanted on the later end of those dates. I say you're in tip AF shows.

Mylucky- Sounds like you got it all planned out.

Genie- Could that dip be implantation or is it too late for that?

Lacey- Sounds like your are headed in some good directions in your life in general. Hopefully you will catch that egg!

Penny- Implantation usually happens a little later than 3dpo like 6-12dpo

1st- I say if you get any lines BD period.

Kot- KMFX'd for you!

Kizzy- Good to hear from you and I hear you on trying to stay low key. I'm trying my best too,

Sorry if I missed anyone!

AFM- I have a confession: I cheated on my temping this morning. My first temp was 97.01 which is .1 degree lower than yesterdays. UGH! I laid there for another 7-10 mins and retook my temp and it was 97.21.I just wanted to see my CH's because I know for a fact I O'd late Monday/early Tues. I figured if my temps don't coincide with that in the following days, FF will move my CH's anyway. Which is why I chart with two other websites. Oh well, wish me luck! LOL! Oh and I'm trying not to symptom spot. UGH! Can I eat the rest of my pineapple. Its so tasty I want to eat it but, if its going to cause any issues, I'll wait.

GVMDL- I did test and I actually broke out the FRER's today even though I told myself that I wouldn't use them unless I saw a REAL line on OSOM. Oh well, I didn't get a positive last month until 11dpo and that was pretty darn faint and I didn't even use FRER until 12 dpo last month. I hate to compare this cycle to last cycle though because last cycle didn't work out so well ya know? Anywho, my chart is still bananas but my temps are still way higher than last month. Unfortunately I didn't complete temping last month and I quit right around the time I think that bean was implanting....I was too tired to temp, lol. I honestly don't think we did it this month which is OK. It really is. I am getting to the point where I am letting go more and I know that these things will not happen in my own time frame but in God's time frame. God hasn't steered me wrong yet!

Blushing- I have never heard of eating too much pineapple causing trouble, but I would make sure you have more core for the time frame you are supposed to be eating it. Supposedly 1-5dpo. The only time you want to steer clear of too much pineapple is before you O which may cause a more hostile environment for spermies trying to get to the egg.

AFM- I am just laying low, trying desperately not to obsess over this TWW which is easier today because DS got sick yesterday and now he's all snotty and sneezy which keeps me running for the hankies as opposed to staring at hpt's I had honestly hoped for a bfp by 10 dpo and now that hasn't happened just kinda zapps my hope. I understand that it is early, but lots of ladies get their bfp's early and I wonder why I can't just be one of those? If I get my bfp by 11dpo or later I will be more worried that the pregnancy isn't healthy because I will be constantly comparing to last month. So that's where I stand. TWW depression has officially kicked in and I will be trying to lay low either until shows up or I see some kind of a real line. Ill be checking in though. I love this site and I am so very thankful for all of you ladies and that we can do this together even if it is only over the forums. There is so much I can't share with friends or even with DH because they don't really understand or they tell me not to worry about it.

Ok, now I have to get to the laundry and dishes. I have really let the laundry pile up

Hi all, just checking in briefly because I have been absolutely swamped at work. So tired! Makes me sad when I have a lot of work stress right after O. If I was a baby bean, I wouldn't want to implant in such a stressful environment! Anyway, 3dpo today, nothing different from the last few months.

I am SO GLAD this site is back up, btw.

@while, so very sorry your numbers didn't go up. I don't know much about hcg levels, so I don't know what's normal to expect at this point, but i just really hope everything works out. Hugs!

I'll write more to everyone later -- work should be slowing down soon. Almost Friday, girlies!
