Buckeye, FX you will get good news in March! Maxsom, happy to see your post...I had been wondering about you too.
i might test tomorrow. I think it could go either way. I had menstrual-like cramps yesterday but it is hard to tell because my lower back/hip is acting up too. There are other MF symptoms too, but I had them every cycle. My temps just seem to be steady and not rising high enough. I have to keep reminding myself it is winter and I am temping a half hour earlier than my BFP cycle which was in July. If I get another BFN and AF still doesn't show up, I will test again on Saturday which will be CD16.
BEB, I'm so happy you were able to trigger and it wasn't too late! Fingers and toes crossed for you!
I'm in the sucky boring week and I'm waiting til the weekend to start up my OPKs and temping. I decided it's not worth the anxiey to temp throughout my whole cycle so I'm just going to do it to confirm O, then wait to test at 14dpo....we'll see how long that plan lasts
Dust to all!
Thanks Dee!
I don't temp all cycle anymore either. I've been starting around CD 10-11 and stopping between 3-5dpo, just long enough for CHs!
The new blogger site looks GREAT, ladies! Wow--you put in a lot of time and effort, and I so appreciate that. I'd love to be added to the "Waiting for AF" list.
For now, not much is new--other than that I finally got the courage to take a HPT (my first one since the day before our missed m/c, when I was a POAS addict). It's been 6 1/2 weeks since my D&C, so I was really hoping to see a negative--and I did! So that's good news. Now I just continue to wait on AF (but my pre-m/c cycles were 44-54 days, so I'm still well within my range of "normal"--and we all know that post m/c cycles don't even have to fall within that range).
I just got home from the RE. I went Friday as well for B/W to detect my LH surge. Friday was too early..so I went this morning too. I'm anxious to hear what the results were. My OPK last night had a line almost as dark as the other. This morning there was also a 2nd line but not as dark..it may have been too early in the a.m. According to just my temps..FF has given me dotted CHs on cd12..but that's pretty much impossible..since the b/w said I was no where near O on cd11. Well..the waiting begins!!
On another note..I've been struggling a lot. Everything from the day I delivered Aidan has been replaying in my head all day, every day for the past 11 months. I don't want to forget, but it's just so hard to relive it over and over again. I barely sleep and wake up in the middle of the night having panic attacks. I still can't believe Aidan's 1st Bday is a month away. I painted him a cupcake yesterday to put at the cemetery for him for the month of March.
I hope everyone is doing well.. ((HUGS)) to all!!
I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time. I can't even imagine your pain. Big ::HUGS:: hon.
BEB I am so glad you were able to trigger yesterday. GL to you this cycle.
Dee, I love your new "pee on all the sticks" pic. That really made me laugh this morning.
Update: I am in the 2ww. I was feeling positive, but yesterday was really dealt a blow. I had posted earlier about my one sister being pg, well yesterday I came across some info that has me about 90% sure my other sister is also pg. I am really feeling down bc they both seem to get pg so easily. I tried for 2 years before concieving, only to loss our LO. I am just really struggling today.
The new blog looks really great. You ladies have done a wonderful job putting this together. Thank you!
Thank you!
I'm sorry you're feeling down. I definitely understand your situation, my two SILs were both (newly) pregnant when I had my 2nd loss. Big ::HUGS::
Good Morning Ladies! Not much new here, just waiting to O. I am going to start OPK's tomorrow and try to do it 2x a day. Last cycle I never got a positive so I think I missed the surge. Hope to catch the surge this time around!
I don't have much to update this time. My betas dropped down to 15 as of Friday so I'm done with b/w (which is wonderful). I'm still waiting for my first post m/c AF. Because of my PCOS my gyn has agreed to give me Provera if it doesn't come on it's own in a "reasonable amount of time". I'm hoping it doesn't take long because MH and I are ready to start trying again. Waiting sucks.
I'm not charting so I don't have one to share.
Congrats on your beta continuing to drop. I know for me just waiting for that to happen was like my 'permission slip' to try (as hard as it is) getting back to normal, physically and emotionally. Fx AF comes soon!
update: AF just arrived for the 2nd time post m/c, so DH and I only have to wait one more cycle before we TTC again!! Waiting these past couple months has been frustrating for me (although I know that I'm fortunate that we didn't have to wait longer) and I'm so looking forward to trying again! I just feel like it will be a refreshing step in the right direction (or at least a return to normalcy).
AF dust, O dust, and BFP dust to all those waiting!!
Thank you! Yea for only one more cycle! Hope this last TTA cycle goes quickly for you!
The blog is looking awesome - great job! And yay for triggering. I definitely have my fingers crossed for you this cycle.
I'm currently in my 2WW. The past two cycles I had 2 days of +OPK's. I would assume I O'd on the second day both times. But based on temps, it always looks like it's on the first day of +OPK's since I have a bigger spike then. So I'm either 5 or 6DPO. I'm probably going to wait until at least Sunday to test when I'm 10 or 11DPO. I have no idea if I'm feeling good about this cycle. I'm sure I'll feel less and less confident as the days go on.
Sounds like you have a good plan! Good luck testing this weekend
I haven't been temping mu ch this cycle. We just moved into our house and my routine has been way off. I can't wait until all the boxes are unpacked and everything has settled. I've been in a funk lately and I really don't know why.
The new blog looks great! Thanks for all the work you do for it!
I'm waiting to O. This is my first time trying wondfo's, and for some reason I'm having a hard time reading them. I've been terrible at temping this month. I don't know what my problem is! I'm not putting too much stalk in this month. Next month, I need to get my butt back into temping!
Thank you!
Sometimes it's very nice to take a break from temping! Good luck with your OPKs. You'll know when you see a +OPK, the line will get super dark, darker than the control. For me, my 2nd, darker line, pops up right away when it detects my LH surge.
Sorry I am late to the check-in, but I wanted to add that the new page looks really nice! Kudos!
My update- I am waiting for AF after my second m/c. We were so hopeful at the start of this year but unfortunately those hopes didn't last long. I m/c'd on what would have been the due date from our last m/c in July. Needless to say it has been a very tough month and year so far. 2 m/c's in less than 9 months. Boo.
Congrats to the ladies waiting to O and test- best of luck to all!
You're not late- just on time
I hope AF shows up soon. My EDD for my last loss is July too.
Update: I *think* I'm 2-3 DPO. I haven't gotten my CH's yet. I go to the Dr. on Thursday to discuss what's been going on since my ectopic surgery and make sure things are on the right track after losing a tube. Hopefully we'll have a good conversation.
I haven't checked in for a few weeks. I'm a bad girl!! And still late to the game
I'm on the verge of cross-hairs today, FF actually gave them to me for Satruday until I entered my very first ever positive OPK !!! I admit, my heart stopped this morning - it's the difference between not a chance in hell to perfect timing, I'm having fun charting, even though I think my temperature are like a roller coaster
Oh, and BTW, I need to update my name with my fancy schmancy chart!!
Sorry to jump in so late today! I'm waiting to test, and in a perfect world I'll wait until Friday, but I'm sure I'll cave tomorrow or Thursday. :-) No AF symptoms yet, but not sure what to think at this point. Just praying this is our month!
Good luck to all of you ladies! And BEB thanks for posting!
You're fine, there's no time limit Good luck testing this week, I hope you have some good news to share soon!
QOTD: Like the new blog. Found my ticker on the site, but not my name under waiting to TTCAL. Love the quotes!
I think for the most part, if you have a ticker you will just be listed there. But since you are currently waiting to TTCAL, we will add you to that list as well!
Okay - I am a newbie so wasn't sure!

Fx for you- good luck!
