thanks for the new thread jag

ugh so I pretty much think I'm out, I caved and tested last night and today both BFN's and now I have a tiny amount of brown spotting which is the norm for AF to begin her arrival, I'm so upset.

@jaguar: Thanks for the new thread! I'm using the CBFM not the throwaways. I have a little basket in the bathroom with my testing sticks and cups. Hubby was like, "I do not want to know what you are doing with that!". He's been really sweet. Every night this weekend he has asked me if I want to go make a baby. Such a doll!

@ms sweets: I'm sorry! She is just one of those people you don't like seeing around.

It looks like we timed things well this month so now it's a waiting game. According to temps and OPK, I think I Oed on Tuesday of this past week. Possibly Wednesday. And if that's the case, it looks like I'm back to 28 days after two 30 day cycles.

BUT TCOYF originally had me Oing on Thursday. They change it to Tuesday IF, and only IF, I change vaginal sensation from lubricative to wet. And those can be pretty similar, so who knows. 

Now it's a waiting game, which can be sooo tough. I'm not sure when I'll test. Ideally 12 DPO or even later. But I have a few cheapies and I'm addicted to POAS so I don't think I'll hold out that long. 

The good news is that by changing my O date to Tuesday, I'm already 4 DPO instead of 2!!!! Lol!

Here's my chart so far. It's still a little iffy with the gradual temp increase. Before my miscarriage, I had a very obvious shift from low 97s (97.2 or so) to a 98+. Now it seems I have a few days of mid-97s before going up to 98... If I Oed on Thurs, it would just move my coverline to 97.6.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THE PINK AND PURPLE SHADING ON THE NUMBERS? I thought it was always purplish/gray... not sure what the pink means (97.5, 97.5 and 97.8 below).

@Mrs. Bonnie Blue: Awwww! Your hubs is being so cute!!!! :)

@carrieknitscake: It can be so hard to coordinate schedules and make time for TTC. Before you know it, the small window is up!

@ms sweets: Uggg, sorry. Hope she doesn't show!

@jaguar: Thanks for the new thread! We needed it!

@MrsMaine: GO GET BUSY GIRL!!! Woooo hooooo!

thanks everyone, I'm so sick of seeing AF.  But I have a question for everyone: if you had a child already and their birthday ended being in the same month around the same time as your projected due date (if you were to get pregnant in that time frame) would you skip that month so as to not take away from the child you already have or would you keep on TTCing?

@HopingToBeaMama: Isn't he?

 @carrieknitscake: It does take some coordinating! Hubby works out-of-town--not as extreme as Jholller's hubby does, but he is only here every couple of days. We are lucky that this weekend is his long weekend. Hopefully our 'hard' work will pay off this month!

TMI alert!!!! So, at the movies today I went to the bathroom and when I wiped, serious EWCM, like hanging off the TP. My sides are hurting in the front, so I'm wondering if I'll O tomorrow. It would be perfection.

@ms sweets: I have two friends, who are sisters, whose birthdays are two days apart. They never felt like anything was 'cheated' from them by having their birthdays so close together. My Hubby and BIL's birthdays are 12 days apart.

@ms sweets: I would keep TTC. Now, had you asked me this 8 months ago, I probably would have had a different answer. At that point, our first month TTC would have given us a Christmas baby. I didn't really want a Christmas baby but never thought we'd get pregnant right away. We did, and then miscarried. So now I'm a little biased, and I will just keep TTC- I won't plan around anything. I'm also on month 8, so it shown me that no matter how well you plan, you never know how long it will take. 

I know a few families who's kids' birthdays are less than 2 weeks apart. But they make it work-- sometimes they do the birthday of the first one a few days early and the 2nd one a few days late, so their parties are 3 weeks apart. 

PLUS- if you wait until next month, and then you deliver 2 weeks early, their birthdays will still be really close!

But that's just me!!!! :) 

Good morning, ladies!

Fell asleep last night on the couch. Hubby woke me up when he went to bed, but by the time I got ready for bed, he was asleep.  I thought about waking him up, but decided to wait until this morning and see what my CBEFM said. Well...........................woke up this morning, tested, and guess what?

My egg is dropping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO, I went right back into the bedroom and woke hubby up.  We will BD again this evening. Hopefully, we will time it right this weekend. It was a reassuring thing to see that I'm showing enough hormones that I'm ovuluating. That was something I thought I was doing, but you can't be sure on it.

 @jaguar I got mine off of EBAY. I set a limit on what I was willing to go up to and got it well under it. We will see in a few weeks if it pays off. It has helped me right now understand how my cycle is working, besides just charting.

@chrispygal: If you can get it before CD6, then you are ok. You won't start testing on the testing strips until CD6. I'm liking mine so far this cycle. My advice is to pee in a cup and then put your testing strip in there. I've read that so many people messed up their testing strips by having the smooth side down when peeing or something like that. I also don't get rid of my 'cup' until after I see that the testing strip was read correctly. That way if I need to test again, I still have my FMU.

GOOD LUCK ON A HALLOWEENIE BABY!!!!! I told Hubby last night that if we get pregnant this month, our baby would share the same birthday as its daddy (July). He looked at me and said, "My dad's birthday is in January--day after yours." I figured out we he said and I said, "Your birthday month---you would be our baby's daddy!" He laughed after he realized what I said. Silly Hubby!!!

thank you everyone for making me feel a lot better about continuing to BD next cycle, I also talked to DH and he said we shouldn't waste a month either, soo we will continue to TTC.  AF did show today and I'm not happy about, but it was nice to have a drink and coffee (I really miss coffee).  But I am def. ordering the supplements and continuing with the green tea and pms cream.  I'm just getting so tired of seeing pregnant women everywhere and not being one of them.

jholler: wow you must be exhausted, but good job I def. think you have enough swimmers having a party all up in there lol.

@MissMaine: aww that is so sweet!

To the ladies who have CMEFM: how does it differ from using OPK's? (sorry if this a dumb question).

@crispgal: yay for Halloween baby!
