@babymish Thank you, that's okay! Yeah, I'm hoping for a slow rise - I did "charts like mine" yesterday and matched pre-O and post-O temps and only 9% were pregnant charts. I'm hoping they start rising or I think I'm just going to have to give up on this month.
Testing: Still staying strong and not until AF is missing
R/R/CS: found out the other day that I have a bladder infection which could be the reason why I've been extra nauseous. Had really bad cramps last night. Totally thought af would be arriving shortly after but still nothing
GTKY: Where did you go for your Honeymoon? If you are not married yet where would you like to go? / If marriage isnt for you, what is your dream holiday destination? We really didn't do a honeymoon. We went up to a local lake and spent the night there.
R/R/CS: I am so anxious this tww. I just feel like we're getting closers and closer to 12 months and that makes me so sad. I'm having a really sad day. I just wish the next 9 days would hurry up.

We went to punta cana in the Dominican Republic and stayed at the hard rock. It was such a nice relaxing trip.

@hunnybunny17 I don't understand the DNA fragmentation test entirely, the urologist explained it to DH and ordered the test, so I'm getting my info second-hand. My understanding, is that it measures intact DNA, or is an indicator for damaged DNA in sperm. Sperm with damaged DNA are unable to successfully combine with the female DNA, and these fertilization fails. We're going to call the Urologist tomorrow to discuss results. It seems like in some cases anti-oxidents help... Found this study

@tamalahoops I'm sorry you're having a hard day. It is nerve wracking to see 12 months getting closer and closer. FX for you this cycle.

R/R/CS: Moving over here because I'm 99% sure yesterday was o day - looks/feels just like previous cycles. Timing wise I would have really really liked to get in -2, but my opks went from slightly darker to blazing positive over the course of one day so we got a late start.... fx anyway. Is this still okay timing? Is there a definition of "good timing"?? Also, nbr but GreaseLive was pretty dang good.
GTKY: Where did you go for your Honeymoon? We were young -- I was still in undergrad and DH still hadn't found a job after graduating, so we had 0 dollars. A couple from his church offered up their timeshare lottery thing, and we got Branson, MO. Whoooo! It was only like $100 for the week in this nice condo/timeshare development so you know, it was fine. Two years later we did a tour around France and Spain and I think of that as more like our Honeymoon Redux

Uhhh!! Sorry--I posted this in the wrong place too! This is meant for Monday.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: -5, -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: BFN today.
R/R/CS: today was the first time I ever took a pregnancy test. I knew I should have just waited for AF like my original plan but FF told me my chart was possibly triphasic so I caved and tested. Plus, my temp stayed up high today, and on every other CD 11 it has plummeted down so I really thought that was a good sign. Needless to say, I'm devastated. My LP is only 11 or 12 days, so I'm guessing if I don't have a BFP by now, I'll be out this month since my LP is short, right?
GTKY: I rode horses and competed on a national level. I miss my horses so much and hope if I have a daughter one day, she will ride horses too.

@MissAmeliaPond - Hey girl!! I'm so sorry about your loss!! And I'm not on here very much because of new job and my night classes. I looked at your chart and honestly, I think it looks just fine. You can see a clear temp shift after O was confirmed. I understand that you are concerned about temps not being what they have been in previous cycles, but this is your first cycle post loss, so there could be any number of things going on would be my guess. I think what you should be focusing on is that there has been a clear temp shift and that is a plus for you!! I would say wait and see what happens next month. Now if for some reason, your CH get taken away in a few days because of wonky temps, then I'd have some reason for concern, but again, being this is your first month after the loss, any number of things could happen. So I wouldn't put too much stock into any of it really. Try to take it easy this month, I'm sure you are very anxious and overwhelmed by a lot of other emotions right now. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!! Be good to you!!
