Hello!! I am currently on CD27 with 7 DPO, TTC #2 with cycle #6. I just started temping and using OPKs this cycle, and I feel a lot less frustrated than when I wasn't temping. So, if there are any of you out there that haven't started temping yet and you're frustrated, maybe that might help? My EDD would be December 23rd. I am hoping I don't see AF coming this weekend (fingers crossed).
@elizabethweiss, we're cycle buddies -- I'm also 7dpo! Good luck to you also, you may want to change your user name if that's your real name. Internet safety and all that!
@cards10, fx for you. I don't want to be the symptom spotter and throw any false home out there but SOME women do see a dip around implantation time. Whether that actually ends in implantation/pos HPT or not, I have no idea, but it could be totally normal to see a dip around this time. I'd wait and see what tomorrow brings. Good luck!
That's a good point, thanks @kyleneum13. I just looked at other charts on FF with implantation dip and almost all were earlier than 9DPO (and most of them looked like normal temp fluctuations, I don't think a lot of them were actual implantation dips) but anyway... everyone keeps saying implantation happens at 7-9DPO so maybe... Guess I won't know until tomorrow if AF holds off.

I went searching too and it does look slightly late for it to be that but who knows. I'll still keep fx for you. Keep us updated!
I'm assuming that I am in the TWW only based on OPKs, CM...until next cycle when I start to temp. ( I know those aren't reliable sources)
I walked into daycare today to pick up DS, and all the teachers on the playground asked if I was pregnant because I did my coat up while walking towards them. Then they decided, out loud that they didn't believe my answer of "no" anyway! Edit:spelling
So I'm finding that halfway through every day I'm ready to just go home and go to bed because I'm anxious to wake up and add another temp to my chart It's not even the fact that I'm in the 2ww and want to test ... I'm just obsessed with finishing out my chart and being able to read a full month of temps. Anyone else?
And also, I'm tempted to test tomorrow just for the hell of it ... dpo8 so TOTAL long shot and nearly definite guarantee of a no ... buuuuut, seeing as though it's my first official month temping/TTC I'm considering allowing myself to be a test obsessor.

I'm right there with you. I just started temping last week and I am a bit excited to at least temp this coming month and see if I can detect a pattern. Fx for your test tomorrow.
Ooo let us know if you decide to test tomorrow @kyleneum13! I go back and forth between wallowing over my bfn and deciding when to test next. It's sad.

This TWW (or longer) is the worst for my impatience!! Good thing the FRERs are too expensive to indulge the daily temptation to POAS! The 88¢ ones at Wal-Mart are more teacher-budget friendly but I don't carry cash so... Practicing patience [-O<

Yes! Was tempted to stop when my temp dropped and I knew AF was imminent, but I kept on just so I would know what the full cycle would look like, since this is my first cycle temping.
Morning ladies! Temping is such a strange thing isn't it? I love it and can't bear the result at the same time. Have temped before and all ended up with bfn and AF. But this cycle I am more than positive. I am 11dpo today. Temp went down. 1 degree to 38.8. Praying for a BFP as this is IUI #2 over 2 yrs..
Feeling those "down there " twinges.. tmi. You know those before AF arrives :-S . Oh gosh. .. I can't bear this waiting. I love the reference to teacher budget friendly tests DandT2point0! ) I know exactly what you're talking about! Glad there's another teacher on board!
What grade level do you teach, @Carlaisy ? I teach preschool age students (3-6 yo) with special needs. I'm new here but I think there are a few teachers that post regularly. @missteacherlady16 is one and she posts funny GIFs.
Ah I caved in and tested.. 11dpo bfn cheapie test :-< temp dip from 36.9 at 9dpo to 36.8 today; about 1.1degrees away from coverline. No spotting. Af due Sunday. My temps look higher than in other cycles. Then again I only started charting again this year. Ttc is not for the birds... lol

@DandTpoint0 - Much respect your way! I teach high school - I couldn't imagine doing what you do every day. Very rewarding I'm sure, but it must be exhausted and challenging. Sending teacher love!
Hi @missteacherlady16 .. bless you for that. We say the same though with the older kids! I have to say my bfn this morning was a bit wayward testing so early. #-o but I have moved on and am still positive with the high enough temps. Would have helped were I at school to keep me from stalking the thread! Now I'm an Easter holiday bump chat stalker )
My temps are still up today, and the cramps are gone, so that's a little encouraging (maybe?). I'm down to one hpt, and it's a digital, which I've heard are not as sensitive. Debating buying some FRER after work today. . .
@Carlaisy I wouldn't worry too much about your temp drop since it was so small. Glad you're staying positive!
How's everyone else doing?

@kmcconnell22 thats good news! Id totally be buying tests for sure but thats just me.
As for me, I went to the dollar store last night to stock up on cheapies and they were out! What? Last time I was there they had like a million... so i guess that means no testing today. Probably s good thing since 8dpo is early. Trying to find anothet dollar store or Wal-Mart nearby so i can get some cheapies and test tomorrow morning.
As for symptom (not to symptom spot or anything) but so far none today. Feeling normal and so far no more spotting. Temp is down .2 but still above coverline so not concerned.
Thanks for the encouragement @kmcconnell22.. >:D< @kyleneum13 it is unforgivable for them to be out of stock for us passionate POAS gals :-w nevertheless keep us updated ladies! BFP fx!! Seems like this week is flowing like molasses :-L
9 DPO today, my temps are still up and not too many symptoms to report other than being exhausted which I think is just par for the course around this time for me. So very tempted to test tomorrow morning since we will be away for the weekend and FF has me testing on Monday, not too sure though!!
@kmcconnell22 FXed for you...go ahead and buy some cheapies!
@kyleneum13 That's frustrating that they ran out! Hoping you can find more so you can test tomorrow

@erica0901 enjoy that break! Hope you get an early BFP \:D/ ! My temp went down 0.1 degree but I am still hopeful... 12dpo tomorrow pray it goes up! It was 36.8 this morning.
@kmcconnell22 Just out of curiosity, when does FF have your test date? I ask cause FF has mine at 13DPO and I wonder how much longer you have to "wait" (if you choose)

@erica0901 FF has mine as 18dpo, which would be next Friday. I didn't input a "usual cycle length" because mine usually varies by several days. So I'm guessing that's why it's giving me the longest wait possible. I'll probably end up testing again on Saturday if AF hasn't appeared by then.

@erica0901 and @kmcconnell22, I thought I'd chime in on this as well. This is my first cycle in FF and they don't have a cycle length for me either so they put me at 19dpo for my test date. Yeah right.
@kyleneum13 I don't really get why it would be that late. I guess maybe in case you have a longer luteal phase? What are your thoughts on the accuracy of the cheapie tests this early? I know they're just as accurate as any others when you're late, but I wasn't sure about how they compared to FRER before your test date.

That I don't know You're 10dpo right? I'm not really sure. Are you on FF? You can actually look at positive tests - enter in the brand (just pick a dollar store one - or I think the walmart brand is on there too) and your DPO and see how many show up. That might give you an idea?

@kyleneum13 I've used the first signal test before which is $0.88 from wal-mart
It's a purple plastic test where you drop urine onto it but I can vouch that it works
