@babypi That's crazy! Was your last cycle regular? I had a CP last cycle, and I thought I was 16DPO, but the HCG in my system was making the OPK turn before I actually Od, I guess.
I haven't temped for a long time but I went ahead and took my temp this morning - in the upper 97s so I expect AF to come soon. Been feeling bloated and crampy the last few days. whomp whomp.
@pandawares I did have a normal cycle and I usually have a 16 day LP, so I'm really only a day or two late. I did have a temp dip and rise 3 dpo that I thought was a fallback rise but might have been the real ovulation. So maybe I'm only 15 dpo today? Otherwise my FF chart looks good.
I'm sorry your CP messed with your cycle this month. That's always felt like salt in the wound for me. I had two prior to my DD and always had weird cycles for a few months.
Sarcastically speaking it's awesome when leftover progesterone comes out mixed with brown spotting. How much more fun can this process be? I'm walking around feeling extra squishy.
I tested with a Rapid Response this morning and got the faintest of faint lines. I had to show it to DH to confirm it was even there. I'm not sure what the evap lines look like on these, so that may be all it is. I didn't realize until after I bought them that they are only sensitive to 50-100, so I'm going to wait a couple days before retesting with the other. For now I'm cautiously optimistic that it is a real BFP.
Good Luck @babypi - evap lines do suck but I hope yours get darker by the day. I did a test this morning at 14dpo and it was negative. If AF doesn't come when it should on Thurs at 16 dpo then I will test again. Called OB nurse to ask what I do when AF doesn't come Thurs just in case and she said if it still hasn't come keep taking the Prog until CD40 and if still neg HPTs then they will prescribe me something to start AF. Yea - I hope I'm not one of those. I don't want these extra long cycles every month and honestly if that happened I don't think I would keep taking the prog and just leave it up to god because who wants long cycles and then have to take a pill every month to jump start AF. Sometimes this just blows!
8dpo overrated here and no symptoms to spot. Little dip in temp today. Hopefully it goes back up. Usually when I dip at 12dpo af is the next couple of days

@babypi I have my fingers crossed so hard for you!
@vlagrl29 I hate squishiness. Ugh! A large part of my OCD is skin-related, and feeling moist downstairs is hugely icky to me. It doesn't help that I sweat a lot
I've actually managed to take a mental break from the TWW, and I have to log into FF to figure out my DPO. Took a DT last night because I wanted some wine. BFN, as expected. I told DH it was more like asking a magic 8 ball if I could drink wine than hoping for an answer either way. He replied "Answer hazy. Please ask again!" I laughed so hard.
yeah @pandawares - I've had to wear panty liners since I started these things. Most of it comes out in the morning. Also I have no idea if it's CM coming out or excess prog. hard telling anymore.
I couldn't help myself, I stopped on the way to the new house to pick up a FRER and tested afternoon urine. It was immediately positive. I literally broke down crying on my DH's shoulder. I'm not sure when I'll feel more confident it's a sticky bean, but for now I'm just praying hard.
Hi ladies! 3DPO today. Feeling really optimistic this cycle as we had great timing. The only other time we've done this well with our timing was my MC cycle. FX
@babypi Woohoo!! Wishing you a sticky bean and a happy and healthy 9 months!

Thanks ladies! I honestly don't know what I would have done these last few months without your awesome support. I'm trying to just take on one day at a time (and not POAS every day). I'd love an invite to the grad group @BornReady
I met with a new OB today since I wasn't too happy with my current one and I felt really good leaving that meeting so I'm going to make the switch. He actually suggested I stop the Prog since it's delaying my period and AF should come soon. He doesn't prescribe it during the TWW with someone of my level since it's not that low. He did say however once I am pregnant to call them asap so I get levels tested and if it is low then I will go on the suppositories again until 12 weeks pregnant. I'm actually feeling relieved I don't have to take them because it was causing me stress and all this stuff brings out my anxiety. I'm going to trust my body to do what it needs to do as it's gotten pregnant twice now.
@vlagrl29 Good timing makes me feel more optimistic, but now that I think about it, my two first pregnancies were a tad miraculous given our timing. With DS, I decided in my FW that I wanted to try. Two BD, and bam. I'm kind of mad at 22-year-old me now. With my first CP, DH and I DTD twice, and he pulled out both times. It was my first cycle after having my Nexplanon removed, and we weren't planning to try until March.
I've been mildly crampy today at 9DPO, so I decided to see how my cervix was doing. Super high and tightly closed. Firm-ish, and it has at least doubled in length since SHOW time. No spotting. I managed to not buy any tests today, so I will not be testing tomorrow morning. Yay me!
and come to find out the ICAN FB group I belong to re affirmed my decision. 1 of the ladies there told me she had a doula client birth with that doctor and was completely amazed at what a great doctor he was and what a great birthing center they have. I feel like God has been speaking to me and leading me in the path I should be going. That girl FB messaged me and told me that client said the doctor is a man of faith if that's something that is important to me which I've never thought about but it totally makes sense now. He was so kind, reassuring. I was thinking of stopping the Prog. and he confirmed my thoughts. I broke down crying in his office because he told me I have to stop blaming myself for this loss and he is right. There are times I've thought I've let go and then I find another way to blame myself. Its so hard!
No more charting, temping, going crazy, I'm just going to go with the flow like I've been wanting to. He said give it a year of TTC - we took 2 months off for obvious reasons in Dec and Jan so August will be the 1 year mark for us. He said we could look at other options at that point, but I'm praying we don't need to. He actually said I'm not Infertile which I've been wondering about. I would have never imagined I would want a male OB but he really makes sense!
So I'm just going to hang here until AF shows - google says after stopping the medicine AF should come in 4 days.

@MimoCa Hey, girl, hey!
@Sarahjedwards86 Hi! I don't believe we've met, but I haven't finished reading the weekly check-in.
@SP128 I do believe we are synced! If FF doesn't change its mind again, anyway.
