    Congrats to all the BFP's today
    @Mrscorker - I'm sorry for the loss of your Grandmother, I'm glad you have your family close during this sad time. Thinking of you. 

    Cycle/Month: 9/9

    CD/DPO: 25/12

    Timing: -3,-2,O

    Testing Plans: BFN today, tomorrow will be the last time I test, though I don't expect anything different from 12dpo to 13dpo

    R/R/CS: None... so done with this cycle, just waiting for AF so I can schedule my hysteroscopy and hopefully get some answers.

    GTKY: Who is your favourite non-hearthrob/character actor and in what movies?
    Probably Maggie Smith, I really don't think they could have cast a better person for Professor Mcgonagall. I love her in all the films I've seen her in, and admire her for continuing to act into her later years.

    @ReesaAnne16 Sorry for the bfn.  I'm not even testing yet and I'm just like, can the next ovulation hurry up and get here so I can try again already?!
    We've been trying for about the same amount of time - how were you able to see someone for the SA and start discussing hysteroscopy before hitting 12 months?  I sent DH to get his physical and ask for a SA, but they wouldn't even refer him!  They said they want my obgyn to coordinate and plan everything!  I'm scheduled for a "fertility consult" appt with the obgyn March 10 but that feels like forever away - it will be my next tww.  I really wanted some kind of concrete news with the SA because that seemed so simple and noninvasive.

    ETA - I was trying to be proactive so I called for the appointment in Dec, but March 10 was the first opening...

    @whiska  My ObGyn ordered the SA test at my request. Since the first SA results were low, he was able to see a urologist that practices out of a fertility clinic, and he recommended that I have a consultation with a RE as well. The RE thought it was a little early, but didn't mind going ahead with bloodwork, and recommended a hysteroscopy. He also told us his basic treatment course for unexplained infertility, but if everything on the scope is normal, we will keep trying on our own for a bit before going that route.

    @ReesaAnne16 Thanks for the reply!
    Unfortunately my last annual exam fell in August when we had only been trying for a few months.  Of course my obgyn laughed off the concerns I had about not having conceived by then.  Considering the stats she was totally right. 

    Maybe we'll go back to eod (eta or try SMEP) next month because I am plum out of ideas.

    ARGH!! My last annual was exactly like that as well! It was a few months after we started TTC & she was all impressed I was already charting & taking prenatals... she even said (and I know she meant it sweetly) "let me be the 1st to wish you an early congrats!"

    Congratulations! @Paturkey @styler91
    @fitlady21 @Ally0221 h&h 9 months to you! 

    @MRSCORKER I'm so sorry for your loss. 

    All of the bfp's are so exciting!

    Cycle/Month: 5/4

    CD/DPO: 22/9

    Timing: 0, +1

    Testing Plans: Tuesday 

    R/R/CS: Temps are still up but I'm a little crampy. I'm trying not to think about it one way or the other. 

    GTKY: I'm really not sure, but if I think of something, I'll come update.

    Congrats @Paturkey  @styler91  and @fitlady21!! FX for you @Ally0221!

    @mrscorker I'm so sorry about your grandma passing. Hugs and prayers. I agree 100% with your gtky answer. Alan Rickman for sure! Have you ever seen Sense and Sensibility?! His eyes. I was crushed too when I heard the news of him passing away. He was many years my senior but his eyes are so kind. 

    Cycle/month: 3/2

    CD/DPO: 22/4

    Timing: -4,+1 (not great)

    Testing: planning for the 12th (10 DPO) but who knows really. 

    R/R/CS: TB mobile app is driving me nuts. Half the time it doesn't recognize screen names, won't let me copy the original post, etc. It is really annoying. Maybe I just have a short temper today because I'm exhausted. 

    GTKY: Alan Rickman. Even though he's a heart throb in Sense and Sensibility he is my favorite in the HP series. His love for Lily, his loyalty to Dumbledore...epic!

    And thanks everyone for the well wishes for a digi BFP! I've been reading (Read: obsessing) that the digi's may need a higher concentration of HCG to detect pregnancy. It's torture waiting for an answer though!
    I think the CBD with weeks predictor is the most sensitive digi. At least, for me, when I got my bfp, I had a squinter on an FRER and got a "Pregnant 1-2" on the CBD. The regular CBD (w/o weeks predictor) detects at 50 which is probably what the FRER digitals are too. Good luck!! I'm keeping my FX for you, I know how crazy the waiting after a squinter can be.

    I guess because its most concentrated. Some test boxes do advise you to use fmu, especially those early results that detect very low levels of hormones.
