9dpo here! The BSC is starting now! Yesterday had some slight cramping which is continuing a little today with some lower back pain. I am also extremely tired but I don't know if that is because I am keeping myself up with crazy dreams lately! I plan on testing tonight even though it is super early and tomorrow morning just so I know for weekend plans.

I go here now!!! 

My trigger was 10am Wednesday and my RE said O at the latest 38-40 hours later so midnight was about the latest. I'm think it was a little earlier than that but officially documenting O is weird when it's shot induced. I did temp drop yesterday and rise today so hopefully DPO1. It may mess with my head come testing time though

Welcome over @DungeonTrollMel !

@lilylover27  FX!!!!! 
@DungeonTrollMel must be so strange knowing EXACTLY when you O, it's like finding a unicorn. Hope the tww passes quickly.

I think I go here now. I got a + opk this morning and a possible temp dip. I woke up like 2 hours earlier than usual and popped the thermometer in before realizing the time and it was a pretty good dip. I retested at my normal testing time and it was similar to yesterday so i'm not sure which to go with but I'm assuming the dip because i had slept all night long and got a +opk today. thoughts?

DungeonTrollMel

@brooklyngirl18 if you got a +OPK today that means you are probably O'ing in the next 24-48 hours. It detects the surge that triggers egg release so you wouldn't usually see a + at the time of temp dip unless it's the second or third day in a row of positive tests. I would probably stick with your normal temp time number today and see what it does tomorrow and Sunday 

brooklyngirl18

@DungeonTrollMel yeah, that's true. two months back I got a +opk the day of my temp dip so I thought maybe I had a short surge or something but I'll give it a few days. I'm getting ahead of myself lol

13dpo-ish and BFN last night. Just waiting for AF. Would have been a surprise this month anyway. That evap line is a cruel bitch though. I'll check tomorrow to be absolutely positive before indulging myself in a few adult beverages at a drag show tomorrow night....;-).....and I can drink on my birthday this coming Tuesday so there's that. Best of luck to those testing!

I put off on posting this all weekend because I wanted it to sink in. Friday morning took a Wondfo test and it came back every so slightly positive, like had to really look at in at the right way and in the right light. Same thing Friday evening. Saturday and Sunday morning the BFP was still really light but easier to see. This morning took a FRER to be sure and definite BFP!!! Started testing positive at 9 DPO! Last time it took until 12/13 DPO for a BFP! So nervous but also excited! Just have to try and remain calm! Thank you all so much for your support in TTCAL, this board really made me feel like I was not alone and I loved sharing in all of your successes and being there for you through the struggles. I am still going to lurk since it is all still so new!!

@lilylover27 That is amazing!! Congratulations. So happy for you. 

I *think* I finally go here. I never got a + OPK this cycle but I got something that was close on CD19, a nice temp dip on CD20, and a spike on CD21 that continued to climb. 3dpo. At least 3 more days until I start letting the BSC in.

@lilylover27 congrats!!! i'm so happy for you and wish you and happy and healthy 9 months.

Holy moly! I am always bad about checking the TWW thread when I am in waiting to O and look at all I missed!! Congrats to all the BFP!

brooklyngirl18

I go here now but FF hasn't given me crosshairs yet. I didn't get a dip before the rise, I had a dip the day of a +opk. I know it usually takes a day or so to O after a + but I actually had the same pattern a few months ago with the temp dip day of +. Who freaking knows, all I know is we have good timing either way and my hopes are so high ugh why do I do this to myself?! 

Edit to add my chart in case anyone has any insight.

**lurking from WTO**

@lilylover27

Yayy!!! So excited for you!!!

Chart looks good so far @brooklyngirl18 A few more temps should verify I might be inclined to HIO once more if you can manage lol But I can also be a little crazy, so don't mind me

BitterBetty12

@brooklyngirl18 I think CD18 is likely because it's the last day of your EWCM!! Otherwise I might have even said CD19 since it's still relatively consistent with your pre-o temps. But either way that's a convincing CD20 spike!!

@SoonToBeMommaHowe Thank you! I'm really happy with timing this cycle. Since my O has been all over the place lately we did EOD until I was pretty sure O was any day and then started ED so we hit -4, -2, -1, and 0!

@dpjennifer Yay! Glad to see you here.

Congrats @lilylover27!!

just hanging out over here at 5dpo. I got crosshairs the same day as a + opk, which is strange but it's the second time it's happened in a few months. it just means I'll be even more bsc when it comes to testing. ugh the waiting sucks so bad.

DungeonTrollMel

I think the BSC is starting at dpo6. I originally thought I could chalk everything up to progesterone but I'm getting some heavy aching at my right ovary and all I can think is "must be the corpus luteum cranking out progesterone since I'm totes KU"

roxgibbons

Congrats @lilylover27!!! Everytime I take a mini break from TB another BFP pops up! So happy for you!

@BitterBetty12 Glad you had good timing this cycle and awesome on the BD!

@DungeonTrollMel My boobs are killing me obviously from progesterone supps but I was thinking well what if ??? I was pretty much clear of BSC until today which is 7 DPO. 

brooklyngirl18

FF moved my crosshairs forward 2 days, ARG that means 2 more days of waiting but I was kind of expecting that. I'm now 4dpo. I had a dream I had 2 positive hpts and DH told me I was glowing this morning so clearly I'm KU lol

BitterBetty12

@brooklyngirl18 H told me he was 'optimistic' this cycle. Also I had cramps yesterday at 6dpo. And my cervix was high and soft this morning after being low and hard yesterday. So obviously I have ALL the BSC right now.

To top it off, I got my 4dpo progesterone results from my OB this morning, and it was 11! I am so excited. After 3 cycles of delayed O, 2 cycles of 9day LPs, and a 7dpo progesterone level of only 7.4 last cycle, I FINALLY feel like I may have ovulated a good egg.

DungeonTrollMel

@BitterBetty12 my cervix feels medium but also kind of open. I cannot make sense out of it. What should we be looking for a signs of pregnancy 

BitterBetty12

@DungeonTrollMel The higher the better. And it should feel soft like around O, but be closed at the same time. So liked medium-high, soft, and closed are good signs! But in my experience cervixes are fickle and do whatever the hell they want. Mine was straight up AF type low yesterday. So even though I let the BSC creep in, I have to remind myself that CP is kind of cray.
