@brooklyngirl18 Just keep testing until AF is supposed to show. I've seen people get BFP on CD14. Maybe your body is just off this cycle. FWIW I didn't O until two days past two positive OPKs and I normally do on the second of three and EWCM was 3 days before. Sometimes everything being a little off makes a difference.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Thanks everyone. We went skiing today and I was glad for the distraction. I feel like this cycle is tougher than the others because my EDD is next month. I'm so grateful for this group.
And @SP128 I'm addicted to the lash extensions! I originally got them for my wedding many months ago and I was immediately hooked. I don't even mind the hour I spend getting them filled every two weeks, it's kind of meditative... I just love that I barely wear makeup anymore and still look "done"
just checking in, 12dpo bfn still have high temps and super sore boobs. i usually have an 11 day or 12 day lp with temps starting to drop at dpo10 so this is very different for me but i'm still getting a negative. I'm getting really worried it could be another ectopic because i don't feel my period coming at all but I'm having pregnancy symptoms with a negative. I'm trying to not freak out.

@migdala - I'm sorry - I'm with you though every cycle that goes by I'm just in disbelief that I'm still here. No matter what you tell yourself it's just tough. Glad you got to have fun skiing - distracting myself always helps.
@brooklyngirl18 - I'm so sorry and I hope you get some answers soon. Sending you hugs and positive vibes!
lurking here and just wanted to tell you ladies that it can take a little longer than you think to get a BFP.
***TW - child mentioned*** I didn't get a positive pee test with DD until I was 4 weeks pregnant. I was peeing on everything in sight lol and just didn't understand why I felt like death every day yet not pregnant.
Just realizing today is kinda rough for me. DD saw how big of salads I was making tonight and told me I must be pregnant if I'm eating that much. Cue instant tears from me. I just feel so broken - like my body is broken. Add that with extra bloat assuming AF is coming within the week and watching Storks. Just got me thinking "damn it took 6 months to get pregnant only to have a loss". Oh well tomorrow is a new day and I must try to stay positive.
@vlagrl29 Most people don't realize we haven't just lost a baby or dreams of that child's future, but also time spent TTC and time having to try again. Sorry you're having a rough day. I got heartburn a couple of times this week and got really hungry today and kept thinking that maybe my temp rise was being triphasic and not O. TTCAL is a mindf**k in more ways than one.

Yes it is! Dh and I DTD tonight and afterwards I shed a tear. It's weird that you can go days even a week being fine and then BAM it hits you. It didn't help I was dreaming last night about TTC but it was like before loss when I was tracking and BD hard core and still not getting pregnant. I told DH that I was just so annoyed I even had a dream like that. It can really affect your day. I have sworn off FB for a week. It's hard to stay focused and positive with all the crap going on. @NYTino24
I've sort of been lurking the last week because I'm struggling with the TWW (I'm 7dpo). Hugs to everyone else struggling too. This whole process really sucks, and it just feels futile sometimes. We were on track with good timing and then I got a nasty cold and bronchitis so we had to take a break from BD during my fertile window. Hopefully we did enough but it feels a little like a wasted cycle.
I'm with you ladies. This is such a hard process. I'm getting closer to my EDD too. It's early march. The longer I'm here the harder it is. I'm 7DPO and have been more tired and hungry than normal. I've had cramping but not period cramps and my back hurts a lot. I'm sure it's probably all in my head. As each month I feel like I have symptoms and then nothing. I have managed to hold off on POAS. I don't have any here but when I go to store I will buy them and then I know I won't be able to hold off.
Hopefully its too early for those who have gotten BFN.
7dpo and bfn. I know it's early but my chart went triphasic so I thought maybe there was a chance. But this wouldn't be the first time I had a beautifully triphasic chart and no bfp. I wish I knew why.
@tscalei@Taggarab@NYTino24 thanks for the support ladies. I'm still kind of in limbo, 13dpo and negative. slight temp drop but not anywhere near my cover line. this is cycle is so different from my usual cycles. I always get my period on 11 dpo or 12dpo. maybe the clomid is lengthening my lp? I hope i get my period soon and put this awful cycle behind me.

@brooklyngirl18 Clomid can increase your progesterone (bigger, better corpeus luteum as I understand it), which can lengthen your luteal phase. I'm sorry for the bfn.

@reneeannemm Go get an FRER for tomorrow morning, girl! My last BFP, the Wondfo lines were super faint, then negative the next day, while the FRERs showed a faint (but clearly pink) line. Good luck tomorrow!!
@reneeannemm I had a squintiest squinter on a wondfo at 9dpo and I met it with distrust all the same. I won't even detail all the ways in which I turned that thing, shined my cell phone flashlight on it, etc. Like RiverSong said, get thee a FRER for tomorrow! All the FX!

It's there. It's real. Used my Frer first thing this morning and there is definitely a very faint line on that thing. I keep looking every three seconds to check. DH sees it, so it's not line eyes or insanity. Today, twelve perfectly timed cycles after loss and exactly one year to the day I took misoprosotol, I am pregnant. I am so scared.
