    So I'm on cycle day 27 and 8 DPO. I plan on testing on Sunday. Symptoms are that I'm super emotional right now. I've been reading Facebook feeds at my desk at work and practically crying at my desk. No joke, there was this story about a couple that adopted a boy who was born without a right hand. Turns out the adoptive grandfather also was born without a hand. The grandfather said something along the lines of " once I saw him I knew he was mine" and I literally started sobbing at my desk. My coworkers probably think I'm crazy ha ha. Anywho... Here's to hormones and hoping they mean something more than regular old PMS

    I'm at CD 26 and 13dpo right now. just cramps for the last two days that tell me AF is probably on the way. I tested with an IC yesterday and it was neg. Might use an frer tomorrow if AF doesn't show up. My cycles have been 26 days lately.

    Today is CD 24 and 12dpIUI. Neg on a store brand test I did this morning. Was going to not test and just wait out AF (expected next Wednesday), but I kept dreaming of testing last night so I figured this might help get it out of my head. At UIU the clinic said I could come in for a test on the 24th, but I said I wouldn't be because it would be a pain to get there without missing work and I wanted to save the $80 they charge. Heading to a vineyard today and trying to decide if I will taste/drink at all.  Post IUI instructions said not to...

    @jilligan14 no, I haven't tested yet. Mainly because I didn't want disappointment for breakfast ;). Still no AF....now 14dpo. I'll test once the morning coffee kicks in....maybe.

    @jilligan14 - I love your optimism and excitement so early in the morning :) Thank you for that. I hope Dec 3rd is a lucky day for you! And thanks for the "request a test" idea. Good to know. Still, I just don't see the point in paying at all for a blood test unless it's to confirm a positive HPT. The clinic said if I was doing a back to back cycle they would need to confirm a negative test before moving on, but I plan to space out my treated cycles anyway.  

    @PattersRN - Hoping AF stays away and you get some good news when you decide to test!

    Cd 18 here. The past couple months AF has arrived on day 25 so I will probably start testing middle of next week. I bought 2 boxes of 3 early HPT and I have a ton of Wondflo.
    No symptoms yet other than having to pee like crazy last night. And emotionally I've been a wreck the past couple days.
    I'm crying now while watching LOTR with my son and hubby because I watched this with my brother when he was little.

    Temps are still low, 5 days past trigger shot. Does that mean I didn't O???? I'm going to be so bummed if I went through all of this and didn't even O! Feeling worried....

    I'm at cd22 and 5dpo according to Fertility Friend. 

    What's bothering me is that my gynecologist couldn't see the dominant follicle on cd16. He said it was possible I ovulated earlier this month (I usually ovulate on cd 17/18), but I'm not so sure... Anyway, I will wait for the beginning of December when AF is due and test then if it doesn't come.

    Best of luck to everyone  in TWW!

    @jilligan14, temps for me have always been really erratic when I've taken Femara.  I'm hoping that's the case for you and you did ovulate!

    I'm at CD28 and either 11 or 13dpo.  No AF.  FF has changed my O date several times because my temps are all over the place.  They've been up one day and just barely under cover the next.  Sore boobs, cramps, emotional - the whole shabang.  I've had BFN's every day, although did not test today.  I think I just don't want to be disappointed again and feel like testing again doesn't make sense. AF is coming.

    Ladies, it sounds like we've got some possibly BFP's on the horizon!!!   HERE'S FOR HOPING!

    @infantino22 hey... a positive is a positive. FX it is for real! A negative 4 days ago is nothing, you got a positive today :);):), That would be crazy amazing to have so many BFP's all at once. Keep us posted!
