charliefox Regardless of the outcome Yay for a longer LP and no spotting! Also the temp rise sounds promising;) Still hoping this has a happy ending for you. Will you test again tomorrow? Keep us updated!

AFM 3 dpo today. FF is giving me the 15th as a test date...which is the exact same date I got my bfp with DD. So of course I'm taking that as a sign. My breasts were so ridiculously sore yesterday (I always get sore bbs after O but never that sore at 2 dpo) but today they don't seem to hurt at all (which is weird for me...mine always keep hurting and get progressively worse up until AF). But they could still get sore again as the day progresses. Also a temp jump again today. Which is not normal for me. Normally my temp dips at 3 DPO. This is just me reading in to EVERYTHING. As always. sunny75 Tlex I think you guys are at 7 & 6 dpo now? How are you both doing?

I'm 5 DPO, zero symptoms but I think O really happened because that's a 5 day sustained temp rise? I have had a lot of cervical fluid which feels unusual for me after O, I usually dry right up, but it's "creamy" and I'm reading that's within the realm of totally boring and normal. Zero symptoms. I'm being a bit extra this TWW and limiting caffeine, have self imposed pelvic rest, and am avoiding Advil ( I usually take it often for my bad back). I just feel extra cautious after my CP last month. I wish I could fast forward time!

I just feel extra cautious after my CP last month. I wish I could fast forward time! I started doing all of this (minus the pelvic rest) when we started TFAS. I stopped caffeine and alcohol in 2013 when TTC the first time and then stayed off of it while BFing...and since we started TFAS before I stopped BFing I haven't had caffeine or alcohol at all in 5 years:/ I also quit lunch meat, soft cheese etc. So I'm pretty extra every month:)

Tlex I would take creamy cm as a good sign! I think mine with DD started around 5-6 dpo. I didn't have any with my loss baby though. Totally different pregnancies and symptoms. I still compare to my bfp cycles though. Even though it will likely tell me nothing.

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. When I was doing the suppositories, my instructions were to stop after 2 weeks if I get BFNs. Maybe check in with your doctor tomorrow AM? And just go one more day?

I’m on day 8 of a period (spotting started last Saturday AM) and I’ve still got light bleeding/borderline spotting today. WTAF. My periods are usually 4-5 days. It is like my body is saying “oh hey, here’s more stuff to put into your fertility apps, isn’t that exciting?” Spoiler: it isn’t.

shakinros, sorry for the BFN. I personally would probably take the progesterone one more day just to be absolutely sure. charliefox, No spotting is good! My fingers are still crossed for you. Isn't it annoying how looking back through old charts is helpful in some ways but also never really answers any questions? I find myself combing through old charts every cycle and it never really helps clear anything up but I still do it lol.

I can't believe I'm still only 6 DPO. This TWW seems extra slow even though I've actually been pretty busy and had some really fun days. I guess it's just because I'm ready to find out if this cycle worked and if not we will finally be moving on to starting Clomid.
I'm trying to decide if I want to test this Tuesday at 8 dpo. We have our first family pictures scheduled and I was hoping to be pregnant when I scheduled them months ago. I figure it will most likely be a negative but it won't upset me because I know it's way too early.

shakinros sorry for the bfn I'm over here with Tlex hoping this cycle after a cp is a lucky one for me, although it wasn't last time. charliefox I'm still hopeful for you and hope the spotting stays away! I'm waiting to O, cd 14, so I'll O probably the second half of this week. My h is ready to clock in for EOD starting today. He's being a good sport. He said it feel like a challenge now to have another baby, so he's newly determined to make it happen. I feel like if I'm managing to get pregnant twice this year, hopefully I'll keep getting pregnant and eventually one WON'T be a chemical pregnancy.

sunny75 I say go for it. You're expecting a negative anyways since it'll still be so early so really there's nothing to lose. Right?

That's the worst when you think you'll be pregnant by a certain time and it doesn't happen. I thought for sure I'd be pregnant by now.

It is such a good thing SO was stuck OOT for +1 because I would have tried for it and he would have killed me. I promised only EOD this cycle. I'm glad the +1 decision was taken out of my hands though. I was feeling so good about EOD until the false positive on the OPK. Then I went crazy again:/

sammysam +1 just feels like too little, too late to me. Once you've got in -2,-1, and O would it ever be +1 that gets the job done? I'm glad you guys got in good timing, even if it wasn't the EOD you wanted. I'm so hopeful for you this cycle since you O'd late!!

I gave up caffeine and alcohol our first time TTC and also did the whole 30 a few times. I haven't really cut out anything this time but I'm usually a little more careful the second half of the TWW. I love my morning cup of coffee and my nightly glass of wine too much to stop them altogether especially since TTC takes a while for us.
Ironically last time I got pregnant we were kind of on a break from TTC and had just jointed a new local wine club. I had a few glasses that TWW before I got a positive test. The whole time I was pregnant I would look back those last few glasses of wine I had and remember how amazing they were lol.

sammysam, no alcohol in 5 years?!? And here I thought we could be friends... AFM, I haven’t had caffeinated coffee in like 8 years (I had a weird heart incident) so that one is easy. I don’t drink much (glass of wine here and there) but I’m trying to be better.

Because we moved in with my parents before DD turned 1 (and they're old) and SO isn't living with us I'm always worried something will happen with DD. Also my dad's an alcoholic. Like 6 years sober but we can't have alcohol in the house. Once we are moved into our new house with SO I fully intend on drinking ALL THE WINE.

I have my specialist appt on the 24th to talk about getting started. But hopefully neither of us have to go there. Fx!

I don't generally have more than a beer or glass of wine (especially because I'm doing weight watchers) but I definitely like a glass of rosé on the porch after bedtime. I haven't dropped it yet for this TWW but I might.

I see all you guys are starting with Clomid. I'm curious as to why my RE wants me to go straight to Femara instead of starting with Clomid.

I am no expert but I was told on another board (GD) that Femera has less chances of multiples and about the same results as clomid for most people, I think it's preferred over Clomid by many docs now. I also read Clomid is more effective for PCOS so I'm guessing that's why my doc is leaning towards that one, but I won't know for sure until my appointment.
