OMG - I totally meant to write BFNs - I even re-read my posting twice before posting it just because I always feel that my posts don't make sense...I am soo sorry to have gotten both of your hopes up!!!!! However, I am kind of hoping that maybe it was my subconcious telling me that I am not out of the running yet this cycle. I temped this morning at like 1:30 or so (after barely 2 hours) - my temp was 36.9 - which would be bad because it would mean that it dropped, which would mean AF is coming...but I didn't really trust the temp because it was weird but my heart was pumping really fast before taking it (I think I was nervous because i knew this temp day was important) - anyways, I was breathing quite fast and ended up having to breath in a few deep breaths while temping and the room air was really cold...Anyways, i fell back asleep really depressed, had a dream that I was telling dh that i wanted to go back on the pill because I couldn't handle the stress of getting BFNs every cycle...then I woke up at like 5:30 a.m. and took my temp again (after 3 full hours of sleep and being more calm while taking the temp) - it was 37.0 again. Some people might say that the temp could have changed just because it was later in the morning and so I should go with the lower one, but I have experimented in the past by taking my temp at more than one time at night (if I get more than 3 hours in a row more than once I temp again) and every single time, the temps are the exact same...so now I am wondering - am i out or am i still in the game??? Sorry for the long-winded rant...My boobs are still sore and i am crampy - which could totally mean AF is coming but I just feel like I am preggers...so I am really praying today!!!!! Kelly - glad to hear that you liked the acupuncturist. My advice is that if you can afford to spend the money, you should give him a try - but as your dh said, maybe wait until next cycle. Oh - and if you start feeling like you have nothing to do now that your planting is done, feel free to just come on over to my place and help me out - my dh and i bought a house last fall and I have NO idea what I am doing in the yard! hee hee...Naomi - my temps jump around a bit before I ov so it could mean that you are about to ov still. How many days ago did you and your dh last get it on??? You might still have a chance at being in the running. I am charting on ff - but I have NO idea how to show you guys my chart. If you give me detailed instructions, I will try to do it later today or tomorrow. Gotta run now - going to see my grandparents and then off for a walk with a friend. Will be thinking of you both though! Loads and loads and loads of babydust! p.s. Just double checked that this time I did type BFN! ↑
Hey sweetie, sorry the spotting has started. But you know, like the rest of us, that means it was 12 or 13 dpo? Which means a very nice luteal phase thank you very much. Given my insane temps this month, I suspect I will be joining you in the next 10 days so we can be cycle buddies - now isn't that far better than any ol' bfp :-) You know, I really think you should seriously look into getting on Clomid. There's no reason for you to be sitting around for weeks waiting to ovulate. I think that I'm going for it next cycle if this one doesn't work out. Did you ever get the bloodwork results by the way? Oh and for your FF addy, go to Sharing in the lefthand column and then Homepage Setup. you'll see your addy there and you can check which info other people can see. Kelly, I think it's cool you've decided to go for the acupuncture next cycle (provided there are no nice surpises at the end of this one!). OK girls, I gotta run to work. talk soon x ↑
Hey Naomi - thanks for the support! I just had a good 'ol cry in the car while my dh was driving. I SO thought this was my month. Oh well...gotta cheer up, though all i can say is the sushi tomorrow had better be out of this world to cheer me up! My progesterone level came back as 38.5 nmol / L (which works out to being 12.1 ng / mL)...I think that this is 'ok' but from what I have read, it really should be above 15, I think...do you know? The problem is that my acupuncturist doesn't know...he just told me the number and indicated that I'd have to look into it. I never heard back from my gyn, but all she had been looking for was whether I had ov or not, not at what my progesterone level ought to be at a certain point per se...Anyway, I think I will wait to see what happens in June and July. My pre-op for the laparoscopy is at the end of July. If I haven't succeeded by that point (and if I continue to not ov until after day 20), I will bring up the option of clomid then. Oh, and I published my chart - the site is fertilityfriend dot come slash home slash 1e190f...(I think...) Anyway, I really want to thank both of you for being there for me / with me!!!!! ↑
Hey girlies....sorry about the spotting Heidi but like Naomi said, celebrate the small victory of the length of your LP...I know it's hard and when I say I know I really do. As for me, I had some EWCM which I don't get this much often so as much as I'm super tired right now....and full from dinner and drinks I know we have to bd tonight.. is it terrible to say that I really don't want to and that I just want to go to bed lol DH is just finishing up the dishes and by finishing he's stacking them all up so that we can tackle them in the morning lol Just wanted to check in real quick and see how my ladies were doing. Naomi...your temp went up though...good sign no?? Spermies can live for a few days so looks like you still have a chance. I'm still waiting to O which is probably going to be tomorrow....we'll see what happens tonight I'm soooo excited to be off tomorrow and just take it easy...I think I have earned it. I'll check in with you ladies tomorrow and letcha know what my temp does. loads of baby dust...and let's not give up hope...I promise...we will all get pregnant together and move onto the first trimester board together...we just have to keep telling ourselves that and really believe it. ni night

Heidi, quickly - according to my Dr and internet research, it should be over 10 if you are not on any fertility medication like Clomid. If you are on medication, they want over 15. So I think 12 is absolutely fine. Just sneaked a peak at your chart - your pre-o temps are so much lower than mine. I'm going to change my chart to celsius so we can compare! I though Canada was a Fahrenheit country? Pardon my ignorance if not! Kelly, no excuses - get down and dirty with hubby tonight! That looks like a pre-o dip you got there. my temp did go up, you're right, so I've started taking progesterone tablets today. I'm still fairly certain I o'd somewhere between cd14 and 16 but FF is having trouble cos of those high temps beforehand. here's hoping cos any boys left in there now must be REALLY struggling lol! ↑
I'll change my chart as well so that we all have the same...I'm not really used to dealing in celcius at all...I never did before but I would love to all our chart to be the same. Well, DH and I did bd last night but if it was being rated it would have been like a 4 lol We were both sooo tired and just going through the motions. He's gone out to take the watering can I bought b/c it leaks but other then doing up some dishes from last night we're not doing much of anythinig today other then some bd'ing. Naomi,. I saw that you started taking your progestrone...I think that is a good idea. Does the weather affect temps though b/c sometimes I'll sleep with the window open and then the temp outside drops and it's freezing in my room......I think if you didn't have the high temps early in your cycle that FF wouldn't have trouble pinpointing O. Do you normally have O pain or do you use OPK's or anythinig like that? I hope you enjoy your sushi Heidi. I'm not a big lover of sushi but DH loves it. When is your next appointment for acupunture? Nothing new to report with me ladies...I'll check in later today....loads of baby dust!! Kelly ↑
