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.

Ladies, I was looking at getting more progesterone cream so that I won't run out. I won't be buying the lavender cream as the scent is too strong, even for me. I was looking on Amazon.ca and I found that they are selling single dose packs of 48. What do you ladies think is the better deal? Single dose (take the guess work out) or buying the tube and then play the guessing game to see if you have the right amount. Any suggestions is helpful.

Hello everyone... ttc newbie here, this is first month trying. I’m 33 and he’s 30. I promised myself I wouldn’t obsess but the tww is a killer, isn’t it?!
Currently 6dpo and determined not to test until 7 Feb, AF is due on the 6th. Only BD’d twice (two days leading up to O) so realise it’s only a slim chance this time around.

Good to have some buddies for the wait! Good luck to you all X
