16dpo, and I'm holding off on testing until tomorrow sometime. Argh, it's a hard wait. I realized from the past few months of temping and the first month of opk tests that my lp is 16 days. I'm resisting. We're TTC#1 for a few months now.
Just waiting and resisting the urge. My temps are still high, with no dip yet...so I'm hopeful, but trying not to focus (even though I'm lurking around here...reading...).
CD 15 today and still waiting for the O ... at least I think I am. I've been testing OPKs for a few days now and I seriously have no idea if I'm reading them correctly. I think I am but who knows. I'm new to this Just ready to be in the DPO phase so I can stop worrying about timing the sex right.
I tried to start something with hubby this morning and he wasn't feeling well. I wanted to be like "BUT I'M FERTILE!" I refrained because, well, sex should be fun and not a chore. But, given my readings on the OPKs, we should probably get something in today or we might miss this month all together. I'll be trying again when we get home
@kyleneum13 I struggle with the disappointment as well when DH is tired or not feeling well during my fertile period. I don't want him to think I just use him for his swimmers

Returning member. Was here 13 yrs ago with my first and now again with TTC#2. CD15, EDD 12/23/15. Currently experiencing every imaginary symptom I can think of while waiting to POAS!
I am only on CD11 so like others here I am still waiting to O this cycle. I'd love to follow along on this feed though and hopefully congratulate some of you who are testing soon!
Cd 10 here, negative OPKs today...which I expected. I've been trying to start temping the last couple of days, but it takes me a minute to remember to temp, and by that point I've rolled around a bit. I'm not too worried about it yet, I just wanted to get used to doing it everyday this cycle.
Shark week has commenced! LOL!
I know what you girls mean about DH's and BDing. The last few nights DS has been sick and not sleeping well. Last night he started to cry right as DH and I were going to bed, by the time I got DS settled and back in bed DH was OUT!
@kmcconnell22, CD 22, huh? Looking at your chart i would have said 17 but FF knows better than me! Keep us updated!
Yeah, it was giving me dotted cross-hairs on cd 17 before. But today it confirmed O on cd 22. I even added back in the days when I had high temps due to being sick earlier in the month just to make sure, and it stayed the same. I was really starting to worry that I wasn't going to O at all! Did you get your temp shift yet??

Aw, that is tough! Is your DS old enough to be occupied by a cartoon unsupervised? Might buy you enough time for a quickie before bedtime.

9DPO. bfn. Though my temps took a nosedive down to barely above my cover line. If it jumps back up tomorrow, that might be an implantation dip, which would mean I wouldn't get a BFP for another couple of days, right? Did a chart comparison on FF and it showed me that more than 81% of the charts like mine resulted in pregnancy. Cautiously optimistic, but it is only my first cycle temping, so who knows. Fx!

I feel like 9DPO is pretty early to check, implantation may not have even occurred yet. I would wait at least another 4-5 days to check again. Good luck!

@kmcconnell22 yay, so glad it confirmed for you! I guess youre officially in the 2ww.
I had a shift this morning. Not huge but given yesterday's EWCM, positive OPK, and CP im cautiously confident ill see a continued higher temp the nect few days. Hoping yesterday was my O!
Posting my chart but disregard all the empty circles. I had a few temps that were taken at different times and FF threw it all out of whack.
@kyleneum13 It definitely looks like all the signs for O are lining up on your chart. One nice thing about FF is you're already 3 days into the TWW when it confirms O. BD BD BD!

@kmcconnell22, that's what I was thinking today! I don't mind waiting for the confirmation because then it's not really 2 weeks And I'm sure DH won't have any issues with me coming home to say, "Honey, we have to do it AGAIN."
Hi! I'm on CD5; 8th month TTC #2. My DS will be 3 next month. I'm using the clear blue fertility monitor. I used it last month, and I really liked it, just no luck that time. I also chart my temps, and CM with fertility friend. If we're lucky this time, my due date would be Jan 3rd
Hi Ladies! Thanks kmcconell for the thread heads up! I am 5dpiui today.. waiting patiently to POAS. Praying and remaining as positive as I can about this #2 try at iui.. fx ladies!
How's everyone doing? I just got my cross hairs this morning for this cycle. I O'd on CD 20 which is later than expected and we only BDd on O-2. We shall see, happy TWW to everyone who is there!

No problem @Carlaisy. Sending thoughts and prayers your way for a BFP! How many dpo are you planning to test??
Yay for getting your cross-hairs @erica0901! Lots of ladies on here have said that BD on O-2 or O-1 is actually the best, so I wouldn't worry about it at all. A couple have even said that they've conceived with BD on O-3. FX for you!

I got my crosshairs yesterday so I'm 4DPO. I'm so glad I temped this month. I feel so much less stress.
Ditto on all of this, 4DPO here! I've been TTC for almost a year so I've been in the TWW plenty of times but this is the first month temping so I feel so much more prepared in terms of timing for tests. Hope this one is it! Good luck to everyone else on this thread
@heawilliams, I appreciate the kind words There was an unexpected death in the family last night (my DH's cousin) that has thrown all for a loop. Very difficult circumstances and the family is a mess. Trying to be the "strong one" is the midst of chaos is hard.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is definitely a difficult time. Please keep your head up and know that you are stronger than you think. Your family will be in my prayers.
Had a pretty horrific day yesterday. Had a Dr appointment to look at my foot, which has been giving me problems. They had me do a blood test for pregnancy before they would xray my foot. They very unceremoniously told me my test was negative, quickly followed by the doc telling me my foot would eventually need surgery, but it's not something they're willing to do while I'm pg. The recovery time is 4-6 months, so I'd have to choose between living with the pain (At a job where I walk 8-10 miles every day) and continuing to TTC, and having the surgery after this baby decides to happen. (Who knows when that will happen?). Or put baby plans on hold for several months, get the surgery, and tank my career. It was a very terrible day.

Agh! Wow that is disappointing news. Doesn't seem like there's really a good answer. Sorry you're dealing with all that.

I am sorry. I can 100% relate. I am having ortho surgery this week. I will be back at work with in 2 months, but total recovery time is 4-6 months. I can hurt the repair work if I get pregnant (due to the relaxin hormonones). So i can't TTC untill 100% cleared.
Thanks for the kind thoughts ladies! Rotten luck for sure, but I have to keep it in perspective. People get much worse news from doctors everyday. As I was leaving the hospital looking all forlorn with the blood draw bandage still on, a man driving past honked at me and said he'd pray for me. I probably looked like I found out I had cancer or something. This made me feel a bit silly. It's gonna be fine. My future kid probably just didn't want a December bday. I can respect that.
