I'm very hopeful for you both, charliefox and Tlex! It's just as well we're still NTNP, because I'm at my most fertile time and H is away for the weekend. If we were trying properly I'd be even more frustrated. On the other hand, we conceived L the month after H was away during my FW. Is it wrong of me to be hopeful for next month? You sound like me:) And totally not wrong. This cycle so far is EXACTLY the same as the cycle I got pregnant with DD...the exact same dates including O even being on the same date. So I am super hopeful. Plus I just got back from a field trip with DD's class. I hemorrhaged right after the last field trip I went on with he class so I figure the universe owes me a pregnancy after this one. Right?

3 DPO! Which is crazy, I have a 13 day LP so "only" 10 days to go! Ahhh. You and I are very close, I'm 4 DPO today! When do you plan on starting testing? I think you're an early tester like me? I'm 1 dpo...still in the ballpark though...right? But my LP is on average 11 days...so I'm 10 days away from testing too (but I might start in 9...on the 13th since that is when AF is due). My goal is still to try to hold out until the 15th just to make all dates exactly the same. But we'll see.

AF is due the 15th for me (3 DPO today) sammysam and sunny75 but yeah I'm generally an early tester. If I can wait for a week from today I'll be 10 DPO...

If you hold off until the 13th I will definitely test with you as AF is due that day for me;)

charliefox The temp sounds promising! And I'm glad you got to see your trigger test out. Do you think you'll test again tomorrow or wait it out? How long is your LP normally? I'm very excited to see how this turns out:) My LP averages 11 days, I usually spot at least a day before AF and my temp drops drastically the day before as well. Tomorrow is 11dpo so I hope it's telling, either it's good news or I can move on. Another fun distraction besides my massage tomorrow is that H just scored Hamilton tickets from a coworker for tomorrow afternoon!!! I am so stoked! (and our friends graciously offered to watch DS even though it was super last minute). ETA: If my temp stays up I'll still test tomorrow.

So here are my two crazy questions for today.
1. For those of you who temp...once you see your first day of temp rise it is too late to BD...yes? I'm just wondering if it would be worth trying to BD tonight or if that boat has already sailed? Our 2 pg cycles we did -1,O,+1 so now I'm wondering how important today is and if we should try to fit it in.
2. For those of you who temp and use OPKs how soon after your +OPK do you tend to O?
Ok. That's my crazy for today.

Also...just picked up my little doe bunny from her spay surgery. The vet suggested we put a shirt on her to stop her licking her incision. She only weighs 1.4lbs and is roughly the size of my hand but she looks like a total body builder here:)

sammysam, sooooooo cute! And in answer to your questions: 1) Your temp rises 12-24 hours after you O. The egg only lives 12-24 hours. Therefore, the likelihood of catching the egg the night of a temp rise is pretty slim (am sex would be a better option). I mean, no harm in doing it, especially if you aren't totally sure that was O. 2) I have O'd 12-60 hours after a +opk (and have had multiple days of positives). My body isn't very predictable with the LH surge.

Thanks charliefox . That is exactly the information I needed! I feel like maybe we've been stopping to soon in previous cycles. I might see if SO is up for one more night. Just in case. But my breasts are sore today which means I'm pretty sure O was yesterday. It's a sure fire sign for me. Tonight might be waste of time but I'm thinking I might see if we can swing it. ETA SO is stuck OOT due to insane weather. We did manage to hit O yesterday though so I'm feeling ok about our timing.

Thanks for thinking of me Big temp drop this morning (chart is in sig). Still above cover line but it’s not looking good. I didn’t test this morning. No spotting, yet. Oddly, I’m not really “feeling” totally out, maybe 80%. Rationally I know the temp drop means bad things, if I start spotting then I’ll grieve a little more. Currently waiting for my massage.

charliefox I've seen lots of bfp bbt charts that dip for a few days around 11-13 dpo so I'd say you're still in. Especially since you haven't even started spotting! Still have everything crossed for you!!! And enjoy your massage and the show (is Hamilton tonight?). I'm jealous:)

Oh no charliefox, but like you said your temp is still above cover line so that is good. Along with you not spotting, I'm still hoping you have a chance.

Uh oh charliefox. I was improbably hoping that you and I would have due dates right next to each other, even though I’m not all that hopeful for myself this cycle! I’m going to test tomorrow morning but I’m feeling a bit crampy this afternoon. Doesn’t seem like a good sign.

H’s coworker found someone who was willing to pay tons of money for the tickets. Oh well.

But you still get the massage which is about a million times better than what I'm doing any weekend for the foreseeable future:)

charliefox I'm sorry about the temp drop, but I'm still holding out hope for you. That totally sucks about not getting to see Hamilton. I've been dying to see it. I wonder how much he ended up getting for them!

I wonder how much he ended up getting for them! He bought the tickets for $135 each and ended up getting $350 a piece! We were only willing to pay face value.

shakinros charliefox I need to know how things are looking for you both today. I'm hoping for some good news! Sorry to say it’s a BFN over here. 13DPO so that’s probably real. (Or 12.5DPO since O was late at night, but still.) Do you guys think I can stop the progesterone suppositories? They’re really expensive and I’d like to save my remaining ones for next cycle.

Hugs, so sorry for the BFN. Are the progesterone suppositories just a precaution or do you have low progesterone on your own? It's probably safe to stop but, after doing this as long as you and I have, I'd probably keep going for another day or 2 (while testing) just to be sure. What does your doc suggest?

I'm still over here in limbo land.
12dpo, no spotting [yet]. Temp was back up but I had a rough night of sleep, tossed and turned alllll night then finally crashed for 1.5 hours before waking up and temping so that doesn't mean much either. Basically negative HPT (the slightest of shadow but looks exactly the same as it did last cycle at this day past trigger so I'm not counting it as anything).
Either I've got a late implanter on my hands, or my body has decided to lengthen my LP/quit the spotting, both good things I suppose. I did go crazy and look at every single chart of mine. The last time I made it through 11dpo without spotting with last May, before that was Oct 2014, and before that was 2013. Soooo, this is a little weird but not unprecedented.
