Dragonfly23, i really wish I'd have temped more during that time. I skipped the most important week. Im gonna try vaginally temp next month. I did get + cbe opk on mornings of the 13th and 14th and cramping about noon on 14th. I use 2 opks so when i get one solid smiley, i can test next day too. I am on clomid as well. I may have had lower temp on the 14th or 15th had i took it.
But it looks like ovulation did occur correct?

Btw, dragonfly23, thank you for the imput. Hopefully, your af doesn't show up. Hopefully, none of us ladies gets her!

@Kelliria. Your Welcome! I believe you did ovulate. I vaginally temp too, except when AF is here then it is orally. I use the First Response Ovulation Kit with the 20 tests and once I get the "yes" then I know I have 24-26 before I ovulate. The only bad thing is that the machine shuts off permenantly and the rest of the tests are useless. Have a good feeling this month will be it but only time will tell. Temping is tedious as it has to be done everyday but some temp till they ovulate then stop to ease the stress of seeing the temp dip. When do you plan on testing?

Dragonfly23 i may have read your post then. I sleep open mouthed and wake up frequently. I temped orally (97.7) and vaginally (98.99) today. Next month im only doing latter.
Im gonna try to wait til day before af, the 7th, but you know how that goes. Lol.???? probably cave and start testing cd12.

* I mean 12dpo.

@Kelliria. I sleep with my mouth open all the time and wake up constantly as I am a light sleeper. I've read that sleeping with the mouth open lowers the temperature in the mouth making it difficult to temp accurately. I'm not sure when I am going to test as last month was a nightmare and tests (pictures) will show it. Thought I had a BFP and then AF showed up on me. I was devastated so I'm not sure what I will do this month, maybe test sooner and continue till AF. I know it will be a waste of tests but don't want it to end up like last month if I implanted early and didn't know it till it was too late.

@Dragonfly23, I usually get the walmart or dollar store cheapies. With my 1st, i tested the day of missed period and it was as dark as the control line. So, i usually break down and start 9dpo on. Im only wasting 15$ or less and test everyday. Whereas the other tests are way more.
Sorry about last month. I saw the tests and they were positive. I understand. Had a mmc and carried it for more 7wks after ultrasound thinking it was all great.

@Kelliria. I honestly don't believe it was a mmc because I only tested those two days. I think they were evaps. That's why I am wanting to test earlier. I have tons of tests as I ordered a bunch (20) when I made my order but aren't as sensitive as the FRER which I bought 7 tests. With my first, I didn't test till after my period was late as I didn't know I was pregnant and when I saw the two lines, I stared at it for hours taking more tests that afternoon and the next day then I went to the doctor Monday and got the test done there and it was confirmed then. With the FRER when can I test?

To be continued. On lunch break.

@dragonfly it says 6 days before missed af but ive heard of women getting positives at 8dpo.
My mmc i found out at 7w1d at my first appt cause i thought it was menopause. Went for my 14wk and it didnt grow any bigger than the 7w1d mark.
I get so nervous around this time cause im afraid it will repeat again.
Been hearing a lot about wondfo and other evaps. That would be just as bad cause hopes still get shattered.
Maybe this is our month!!

@Kelliria. I really hope so too. Thank you for the information, So, if my AF is due Sunday Feb 4, then I should be able to start testing today. If today, I will skip and do every other day starting tomorrow. To add to my story, I have noticed a heightened sense of smell as I was in the kitchen and when I walked into the living room, I took a wiff and said to my daughter, did you... never mind you did (poop). Even can smell when she is peeing. Hope that isn't too weird. Been having some pains in my sides today. I also think I will stop temping because the stress of seeing the temp drop, even if it is implantation, my mind freaks out and then I have a terrible day.
