I’m good with it!

[sammysam]

And...CD1. At least my cycle never makes me wait.

If I even suggest testing before 12 dpo next cycle someone stop me!

Also...I'm thinking about switching to EOD throughout my FW for the next cycle. We've been doing every day up until now (EOD until FW and the every day). Anyone have any opinions? Just to switch it up. Obviously every day hasn't been working for us.

If this next cycle is the one my EDD would be DD's birthday:)

sammysam, I’m impressed by your stamina for ED! Not that it’s actually working for us this time around, but I aim for 2x in my FW, when possible.

[sunny75]

sammysam, Oh no I'm sorry. I really thought between your chart and symptoms this might be your month. But I think it would be awesome to have the same due date as your DD for this next month! You and I will almost be cycle buddies this next cycle so we can help each other hold out until 12 dpo to test lol.

I'm impressed by your ED timing too. I know my RE suggests EOD so I think that's perfectly fine too especially if there are any male factors contributing to trouble TTC.

Haha. It's forced stamina. When I told SO I was thinking about a possible end game to TTC he kicked it up a notch. He is the one telling me we need to hit every day.

The every day is just added pressure I think.

I'm so sorry sammysam! Let's hold out together next cycle and not test until at least 12 dpo.

[sammysam]

sunny75 Oooh cycle buddies. Yay! What CD are you right now? We can be crazies together but definitely no testing until cd12 at the earliest! You will have to pull the stick out of my hand when we get closer.

I'm glad your RE recommends EOD. I could tell SO was relieved when I said EOD this next cycle.

Oooh. We can aim for January babes (which is what I was aiming for all along!

[wildhoney]

We have tried every day and every other day and they all lead to BFNs. My 2 CP cycles both had -1 timing so that's what I always shoot for now.

[sammysam]

wildhoney Yes! If we start hinting at testing early we'll yell at each other! How long is your LP normally? You might still get out of here this cycle!

My LP is usually 13 days. I just don't feel like this is my cycle.

[wildhoney]

I have to get a saline sonogram and an endometrial biopsy next cycle if this one is unsuccessful ☹

My bfps both had 2 days before my +OPK (I only started temping recently) and +OPK and the next 2 days. So that was what I was always aiming for. But it just gets harder to get that timing after a while. I think one bfn cycle we did 10 days in a row. Not worth it!

I'm so sorry sammysam

I feel like the saline sonogram is something I will have to get when we finally get in to an RE.

I feel the longer we have been trying, the harder it is to get in good timing. I'm just so tired.

[sunny75]

sammysam, I'm CD 3! And I have pretty short cycles too so we probably will end up testing around the same time. I'd be ok with a January baby for sure!

I know people can get pregnant from other days but just from what I've seen it seems like -1 and -2 are the two best days. We at least try to hit one of those days every cycle.

Thanks:) I wasn't expecting this to be our month so I'm ok with it. But at least the TWW was fun. I like obsessing over symptoms. It's like a hobby now! And I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll be KU by the end of July at the latest. I figure it has to happen at some point. It's all about waiting it out. Also, even though this is cycle 8 AL for us, because my cycles are so short it's only month 5. I just need to relax and learn to be patient.

In the meantime I'll lurk your BMB and live vicariously through you.

Yes! So much this. It never ends.

Omg at 10 days in a row. I don't think we've ever done that even when we were a lot younger and had no kids lol.

[sammysam]

sunny75 Ooh Yay! We'll be so close!!! You must update me when you O too! We start EOD next Thursday over here already! And January it is!!!!

I don't recommend it.

[Yogurt]

Oh and I had 4 FF points this cycle, lol

[Risscaboobs]

I see the line on the last wondfo and the frer. Congrats, Yogurt! You are KTFU!

[charliefox]

OMG HOW DID I MISS SO MUCH?!?!?

Hugs all around for any bfns or cd1s.


Yogurt, holy crap that's a line! Congrats

[Yogurt]

Thank you charliefox! I'm beyond happy, but of course nervous too. Obviously scared it will end up like last time, but I guess there is no reason to assume the worst.

[Tlex]

Yogurt I'm going to excite! Here too because I'm so excited for you! Have you ever read the PGAL mantras? One of the ones I lean on hardest in early pregnancy is "hope doesn't make bad things happen." ❤️

I did go look at those! I found them to be so spot on and I will surely use them. I don't want to keep myself from being joyful, because I know that wouldn't keep a loss from hurting. 💗
