Hey @SoonToBeMommaHowe it looks like a triphasic pattern also... What do you think @chloe97 ?

i am sorry for CD1 @Cmckenzie !! Hugs to you and best of luck in this next cycle.

Sorry for CD 1 @Cmckenzie - it always sucks.

RiverSong15

Sorry for CD1 @Cmckenzie.

@SoontobeMommaHowe - this chart doesn't look triphasic to me. It seems like you've just had a gradual rise (overall pattern) after O. For me, about half the time I get a dip before my period, and the other half of the time, I only get a dip at CD1 or 2. You also have an open circle today - which means your temp could be off because it's not at the same time as your normal temps. 
 You're not out until AF shows up though. Could you retest tonight before drinking? I'd probably drink in moderation and retest tomorrow morning too.

@Cmckenzie Sorry to hear you're at CD1.

Cmckenzie

Thanks ladies, I keep checking in hopes someone will get some good news!

waitingforblueskies

Just thought I would update everyone. I had my blood tests this week. On Wednesday, hCG was 161.1. Today, it was 438.6. So..it a little more than doubled. I am still feeling very...unsure. I didn't get a call from my doctor yet, so I am guessing she will call Monday with a game plan. 

I keep praying and hoping for you all!

rainbowturtles

Those are great numbers!!! I'm sure you'll feel unsure for a while but we're all rooting for you and hope you can find even moments of peace here and there @waitingforblueskies

@Cmckenzie sorry to hear you're at CD1

@waitingforblueskies that's awesome your numbers are looking great! 

Aera11

I'm sorry @Cmckenzie  

@RiverSong15 I don't see my RE until the end of my cycle, so not for another week or so but it will be interesting to see what she says.  But I am on medicated cycles and have heard that the medicine can mess up your temps.  For whatever reason, I still feel like maybe I am out but I guess we'll see.

@waitingforblueskies your numbers are looking great!

MimoCa

I can feel AF raging to come on strong. I think I'm out too today or tomorrow but that's OK, at least I can start fresh this time for the better  

SoonToBeMommaHowe

My body is so weird, I can only sleep 3 hrs at a time no matter how hard I try. This weekend we're away, with no dog and were in bed by 9...but of course up at 12, 3:30 and 6:30. And my temps fluctuate like crazy...97.4 @ 3:30 and 97.9 @ 6:30. My last three cycles I've had a 13 or 14 day LP. Today is 15DPO, no AF but lots of cramping. I assume AF will be here today. 

MimoCa

@SoonToBeMommaHowe awe, but it's not over til she shows so FX your still in the game

chloe97

@SoonToBeMommaHowe I've had terrible sleep issues too. It sucks! Fx for either a BFP or AF soon! 

Today is officially CD 1 for me. It's the first cycle DH and I will put the pedal to the metal since my last MC. Feeling optimistic. 

MimoCa

@chloe97 I'll send you good vibes for this cycle

Aera11

Yay @chloe97!! Hoping this cycle is the one for you

yolandamunoz

good vibes and lots of energy @chloe97 !!!

brooklyngirl18

@chloe97 good luck this cycle!

roxgibbons

Good luck @chloe97! Good things will happen soon. 

SoonToBeMommaHowe

And here she is full force, two days late. Back to WTO This begins our last cycle before heading to an RE but I think we'll skip IUI and go straight to IVF so it may take a while longer before we jump off the trying naturally train

MimoCa

@SoonToBeMommaHowe awe sorry about AF and being back at cycle 1

chloe97

I'm so sorry @SoonToBeMommaHowe. Are 15 day luteal phases abnormal for you? Mine have ranged from 13-16, but I'm starting to realize that 15 is probably my normal. It's like insult to injury after a BFN at 11 dpo, having to wait 4 more days for AF. Sigh.

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Thanks @MimoCa and @chloe97.

@chloe97...I'm not sure what's normal for me, in three years I've only tracked four cycles and those showed 13, 13, 14 and now 15 day LPs. So I suppose I have a range similar to yours, I just hadn't had a 15 day LP yet so of course I got my hopes up. I was thinking this morning as I was on the brink of tears seeing AF that in 36 months I've probably had 32 cycles...*TW* I've seen one BFP, spent four and a half months KU, and 2 non-trying post MC cycles so not counting those I've had 25 BFN cycles, give or take. How depressing is that when you really think I about it? Over two years of looking at negative tests, I'm not really sure why I keep testing and doing it to myself. I think next month I should just save my money and wait for AF. 

Well time to put on my big girl panties and head to my 7yo nephews soccer game which I'm sure will be packed with young kids. 

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride....deep breath..and here we go. 

szwill86

@soontobemommahowe so sorry for CD 1. I'll be sending positive vibes your way this last natural cycle 

brooklyngirl18

I'm so sorry @SoonToBeMommaHowe so many hugs.

yolandamunoz

I'm sorry @SoonToBeMommaHowe

About lutheal phases, I just checked and mine go from 11-13 days average. I've also had 10 and 14 day ones.  I am currently on CD22 (possibly 7dpo) just trying to chill...

RiverSong15

I'm sorry for AF and all the BFN cycles @SoontobeMommaHowe. Big hugs!!

DungeonTrollMel

I officially go here now!!

just had my IUI done.  Went much smoother than I expected with only some cramping as he injected. H's numbers came back out of the park so great news: we know it's now him. Sucky news: love confirming that it's me. 

Prewash: 212 million 
post wash: 35 million. 
I think I saw motility was 70% or something 

My RE was really amazed by those. H was worried it wasn't going to be a good sample but he feels pretty proud now 

H is refusing to let me test before dpo14 and is hiding my tests so it's going to be a much longer wait than normal 

MimoCa

@SoonToBeMommaHowe that is tough but we are all here for you.

@DungeonTrollMel FX this is cycle for you!

fivetimesnoluck

Sorry for the negative, @SoonToBeMommaHowe! It just sucks. 

Fingers crossed for you, @DungeonTrollMel! So glad it went well today! 

SoonToBeMommaHowe

Thank you for the love ladies Super tough day for me which I knew it would be because the more hopeful I get the more disappointed I am and This cycle I was the most hopeful I've been since my MC. 

Hoping there are some BFPs floating around among the people that haven't reported their results here yet

mrskidhazard

7DPO here and it's killing me. I have been trying since a month after my MMC in February and every month that AF comes I feel like it's never gonna happen. TTC with my husband for nearly 3 years now. I'm so discouraged! But positive thoughts and baby dust to everyone during the wait we all hate!! 

roxgibbons

So sorry @SoonToBeMommaHowe. CD1 sucks. It's so hard when you get your hopes up and are convinced it's your cycle. We've all been there- hugs to you.

roxgibbons

@mrskidhazard sorry you find yourself here. I had a MMC in February as well and no luck so far. Have you started working with an RE? Since its been a while it may be a good next step. Good luck to you this cycle. 

One thing- please refrain from using the phrase "baby dust" on this board. Although considered good luck on other TTC boards it's considered offensive and triggering to the loss and TTCAL communities since some of the women here cremated their babies.

7DPO here and I'm sure I've been a few lovely shades of green today (insert adorable emoji with medical face mask). Nausea/minor heartburn started Saturday evening. Up until that point I had no symptoms. I second guessed myself (and didn't want to get my hopes too high) and thought maybe it was the coffee I just had on an empty stomach, or something I ate that day, but it came back again yesterday and today. I tested this morning (like a fool) and of course it was negative. I plan on retesting this coming Saturday, AF should be here the following Tuesday. Unless this is one of the terrible PMS I've experienced since my last MC, I think this might be it. Both of the 2 times I've been PG I knew way before it would even register on a stick. This week will be torture.... Good luck to all!!!

@DungeonTrollMel @2fitBees Very exciting! FX this cycle's it.

The doc I saw in NY said they've done studies--women know their bodies better than we know. They pretty reliably know when something's up.

Have faith in our bodies, ladies! Tonight I'll try to dream about lush forests and figs and flower gardens and any other symbolic things I can think of.

Edited because apparently sprout and clover emojis clip the message.

brooklyngirl18

Pretty sure I go here now. I had an almost + opk sunday and a .8 temp jump this morning. Hopefully I'll get crosshairs in the next day or so. I've been good at keep the bsc at bay this cycle but I feel it creeping back in. 

Aera11

I'm out. AF arrived earlier. I feel like an emotional hot mess. Part of me is relieved to know now and not have to find out Friday when I have to be around a ton of people. Hopefully by then I'll be okay to enjoy both parties we have this weekend, but right now I feel like I am going to go crazy.  How long do we go through this before we give up and accept this?? I wish I could take a break but I think it'll be time wasted.  I want to take time off work and be lazy & self-indulgent. 

chloe97

I'm so sorry @Aera11. I know the feeling!

SoonToBeMommaHowe

So sorry @Aera11. I know exactly how you feel, 2.5 years into this process and I quit my job bc it's just such a mentally/emotionally draining process I needed to relax. 

Aera11

Thank you @chloe97, so thankful to have you all who can relate.

@SoonToBeMommaHowe I took off 5 weeks after my miscarriage and it was 100% worth it. That's why I feel like quitting or taking a hiatus will be good for me mentally and emotionally.
