SU/MSU Experimenters Buddy Group Oct. 2009

 Oh crap, I think I messed up my timing and I'm o'ing today. I had some EWCM end cervix is very soft  So I had my attempt with one day cutoff  How bad is it?

I have used Replens today to keep my ph low and took some Sudafed to dry up the cm. Is there anything else I can do?  Oh well, I guess I will try again this evening if I can pinpoint o+12. 

Tamara...I dont have a chart, but I have so much creamy cm...it is so weird.  I made an attempt anyways...My cervix was med...now it is back to low and hard.  I am so confused right now!!!  My pos OPK was so pos.!!!  Those line were very dark!!  I cannot believe this.  My period last month was early...so it made it a 26 day cycle and then I got a +opk on schedule for a 26 day cycle.  Now if my cycle has changed back to 31...I would be Oing now.  I just do not understand how I can get a +last week and O pains and then the same now including O pains.  Only thing different is that I have so much creamy cm and it is not like a yeast infection creamy...it is creamy and last week I was dry!!!  I am so mad at what is happening...I guess nothing else I can do but pray!!!

LR4BS - Wow! What is going on? I would just go for it if I was you - don't miss any chance! Maybe last Friday was wrong? I still don't have crosshairs on my FF chart so I don't know if I got o+12 or even O'd - gggrrrghhh!!!! Why do our hormones do this to us??? A week between twins must be rareish - I think you normally release two eggs within days? I could be wrong.....

I think I did the same as you this month! No temp rise the day after my attempt!!!! Do not panic! Try again tonight and use replens until your temp goes up. You could try the lime in a diva cup and take sudafed before bed. I just used replens as I thought I would get my rise. Ten days later and no cross hairs on FF! Just take comfort that you can not make everything perfect and you got a good sort xxxx

I dont know what the heck is going on, but your right...I made my attempt again and my diva cup has been in for 8 hrs already...ph and vj both in the 4's, so looking good.  Last night +opk, by late morning it was neg.  I think it looks a little lighter than last night.  It is still a dark line though.  So, the surge is dissappearing, I think.  So, I must be Oing again/???? I have no clue and am a little shocked...mad...but what can I do.  It is still new moon, right?  I can see at night that is looks like it!!  Man, this sucks...I was eating pretzels a little this week!!!  Yikes!!  But I am drinking CL and ph is so low and creamy, creamy cm...no ewcm and so I can pray on all that, right?

you probably had a fake o

 I had my second attemt last night and if the first one went well this one certainly didn't. DH gave me a very small sample and I could hardly get the mesh and EW to touch it in a long testtube. Then I decided to calibrate my Hanna ph tester and it wouldn't calibrate. I've read that it has happened to many others and now it happened to me at the worst possible time! To make matters worse, I had just used all my good ph strips and I only had full range ones that are difficult to read IMO. Then I just tried my best using the bad strips and non-calibrated tester...

 And when it was time to separate the layers and see them under the 'scope it wouldn't work! The light bulb didn't lit up, I don't know why. Changing it wouldn't help either. Luckily I had bought my DS a flashlight the day before and I managed to use it as a light. When doing the TBM I had so little sample that I was scared to check its ph 'cause it might all run out doing that! Finally I think I had a little less than 1 ml left to use.  ing that it was enough! I managed to pinpoint o+12 really well this time though.

You only need one spermie to get PG so I hope it works out for you this month - You are a trooper to carry on with your attempt! I would have trown a stroop and gone to bed with the huff!!!

Got a bfp this morning at 12dpo!!! can't quite believe it  I  have been testing since a crazy 5dpo (just to pass the time mostly) this mornings first test was negative then thought i'd do an opk just to see what was going on there and it was really positive which made me wonder, so did another hpt test (just 30mins after the last) and it went positive in about 5 mins- very strange- must of been more dye in the second test!!! .... wish me luck...think i might need it with my past record!!! xx

 Huge congratulations anna bell! And Good Luck! 

I'm totally jumping in here (i usually just lurk), but my microscope light just did the same thing when I was experimenting. I FINALLY got the EW to float using Pre-seed (i'm ttc a boy) and then went to see the layers, and the light wouldn't turn on. I changed the batteries and it wouldn't work!! I wonder if someone else has this problem and resolved it??

Yeah Anna!!!!  I am so so happt for you!!!  Did your attempts go well?   FX that you have a sticky bean!!!  

ilovemy....I have never had that problem.  Is it the light in the incubator>  Sometimes you need to screw it on tighter!!  IDK though...Good luck!

Well, ladies...I am still waiting!  I might have had a fake O last week, so I did 2 more attempts this weekend, so hopefully I am covered.  Although my attempts last weekend were better than this weekend. I was already thinking I was done, so I had to act quickly, therefore my sort was not as great....a mix but I can say my ph is perfect during every attempt...the last few months!!  So, there is a positive, I guess.  I think I might test Wed. to see if I am preggo from last weekend and if BFN, then I will wait till sunday to see if this weekend was it and made it!!  AHHHHH...this is so frustrating and so like my life!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOP - WOOP!!! What wonderful news to cheer me up from AF arriving for me!!!!

I have everything crossed for you!!! Stay positive - there is no reason to think this can't be it for you this time! Please don't think the worse will happen - send positive vibes to beannie and take care of yourself as normal. You are going to be holding a baby in eight months - and it will be all yours.

Anna Bell....so excited for you!!! Yeah, way to stick through it.  I have my FX for you and hope for a H and H 9 months.  I'm excited to read your attempt.  How cool you get to fill it out now...Congrats!  Annika
