The ongoing twiddling of thumbs conversation: December edition

tah, I'm just looking at your chart again, and last months, and wondering if maybe you O'd later than it says.  maybe on CD16?   you still had EWCM after it says you O'd and I am thinking you perhaps O'd late on CD16 or early on CD17 when your CM changed to creamy.  what happens if you discard that super high temp with the white circle?

Thanks, Mel. The chart kept the same O date but then again, I just have the free one. Would it change if I had the VIP version? Anyway, what you're saying makes sense, and when I O'd in past cycles it was mostly CD17 with maybe one CD16. I just thought with the OPK... but I'm still left wondering how likely it is to O with just one positive OPK that far from O day. I'm going to look into that...

no, VIP won't change anything.  but you could try playing with the ovulation detectors (even though research says VIP only, it always seemed to work for me) and see if that does anything.  I notice in the last cycle, it put your O day as 2 days after +ve OPK too. so maybe you're one of the ones who O's on the outer end of the 12-36 hours (some say 48) after the surge.

FXed for everyone! The suspense is killing me to hear about everyone!

AFM I POAS early this AM and I can't tell if there was a line or not. Not sure if my head was playing tricks on me or if there really was one there. So I'm going to get me some more FRER tests and test again soon. I might even try to hold out until x-mas eve or Christmas. We'll see.

I'm going to be taking a break from IG for awhile. So if I'm not back on before Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (I'll probably be back on before then at least!)

 Oh boo to bfns.  I say take it with a grain of salt and test again in a couple of days.  Or tomorrow.  I think Mel may be right and you O on CD 17, I took a look at your chart again and studies it!  Lol!  I think you still have a great chance and hey--no af yet!!!  My fx for you!

DH is a sweetie--he would never think I am fat.  If I say derogatory things about myself he gets very mad at me.  I am not allowed to say mean things about myself-- to the point it felt weird typing fat in my PP!  Hes a great guy, I love him so much.  

Agghhh!  The wait!  I wanna see your bfp, go get it!!!!

Merry Christmas to you too brotchengal!

Tah - I will be excited to see what happens in the next couple of days for you.  Fingers crossed!!

toddsweezie - I sure hope you can indulge over the season and not beat yourself up too much about it!!

Mel - I started a thread for you in the August forum - what time is your u/s tomorrow?  I'll be thinking about you!

tah_3814:

BFN for today and about my temp drop, looking back, it did take quite a dive. Today it dropped but not nearly as much as I thought it would? Looks like I'm in for more waiting...

Bah Humbug! I was really hoping this was it for you! You always have such a positive attitude. I'm sure I'll be joining you again - there's my positive attitude shining through. Well, since AF hasn't arrived, I still have my fingers crossed for you!

Mel~ Thanks for looking into it for me! I thought that was due to my error last cycle, I made sure this cycle to be much more careful with the OPK testing, so now I know that I'm likely to get just one +. Lucke me, huh?  Unless I either test more than once a day and/or at different times.

Brotchen~ Enjoy your holidays!!! Hope you see a BFP the next time you test!

Weezie~ I think I will give it a couple of days.

I know the feeling, believe me and I'm trying to get it!! 

Kitten~ Thank you!!

Grace~ Until AF shows, I'm not out yet. It would be hard to have a bad attitude on this thread, you ladies are too awesome for that!  It's too soon for that kind of thinking, missy and my fingers are crossed for you as well. ~*~*~*~*~*bfp dust~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I guess I'm out ladies, lots of spotting and another BFN on an FRER.

Tah - I'm hoping it's just a late BFP for you.

Grace - I'm hoping you are still in it!

sorry, liams.mum

update for the ladies here...I had my dating u/s this morning.  saw the little heartbeat and only one babe in there.  babe is measuring in at 8 weeks 3 days instead of the 7 weeks 6 days I should be today.  I wonder if early implantation would influence growth rate since I started having cramping at 4dpo?

Well I had said I was going to POAS 12/24, but I broke down yesterday for a BFN. I hate that because its so disheartening. I am 10dpo today so I know the % of getting a BFP are low anyway and I used a dollar tree store test, which might not be the best either. I don't even know when to expect AF because I O'd early, I think??? I usually have a 30-31 day cycle which would put AF around 1/2, but we will see. I got my hopes up because I saw someone's post about a BFP 9 DPO. I'm gonna buy more POAS today and not drink much and use FMU to test tomorrow morning.

 I had a BFN today too, Erin.  :(  9dpo - but I had a dip today so maybe it's happening today?

I'm sorry LIams.mum! Tah, I with her. With that great temp rise,  I hope you'll be our Christmas surprise!!! I'm out too. Lots of spotting and AF cramping. I'm sure it will explode in the morning. Pity party this morning but moving on!!

Mel - Your news made my day! So glad to hear baby is doing great and even a little ahead of schedule!!

Brotchengal - Merry Christmas to you too and hope to see you back soon!!!

Hope everyone else is enjoying their families!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

liams mum - I see your temp is still up, 15dpo and no AF?  hmmmm....

tah - what's up with you today?  anxiously awaiting your temp!

grace - fingers crossed that spotting is implantation. how are you feeling?

 chelsea - looks like you O'd yesterday.  Good luck in the 2ww!!

 Merry Christmas to all!!!
