Thanks

I was looking at my past charts and if I'm not pregnant this cycle my temps generally start lowering CD13/14, so tomorrow or the next day they should start to decline. :/ not feeling super confident they're going to stay up

Ahh! Yeah, that is super close! My first doctor's appointment is June 19th. I'm so excited! I'm going to have to change my signature too.

TAYLOR - If I remember correctly from my long term stalking of this group - you have two boys correct? Or have I got you confused with someone else? Did you chart for either one of them?

Yes I do

and no I didn't, in the past it was just trying with zero knowledge of my fertile window, and of course now that I'm charting and making a huge effort it's taking forever! Haha. Both of them, just bam, pregnant first month, tada!

I have worked out how to quote lol! I'm such a noob.

Taylor omg that's both weird and frustrating. I'm sure it won't be much longer for you, in fact I think a BFP is just around the corner. :wink:

Congrats Kat and Maggie and your BFP!

Sorry I've been so quiet. I've been reading along though. We never took a break last month but AF still showed up and she's well on her way for this cycle as my temp is dropping. This is my month to have AF twice as I had it the first week of the month and I'll be getting it any day now. My due date for the one i lost was 2 days after mother's day so it was a bitter day for me. And June marks 15 months of TTC.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Awe, Bre, I'm so sorry! AF is the worst. I can only imagine how you were feeling around Mother's Day.

We're here if you need us!

And thank you for the well wishes! <3

Quick question.. For those of you who use the Wondfo OPK's, would you consider this OPK a positive? A friend of mine gave me a brand new Clearblue Fertility Monitor pack and these tests were taken from the same pee sample. I would consider the Wondfo positive.. but the Clearblue is saying NOPE! I'm at the tail end of my surge, so it makes no difference to me if it's + or - but I'm finding it interesting that the tests are giving me (seemingly) different answers. Maybe Wondof's are more sensitive? Maybe Clearblue just sucks in every shape and form of tests? LOL!

Bre- I'm so sorry

I can only imagine how tough this past week has been for you! Just know you've got others here who know what you're going through (19th cycle TTC our first this month). Hugs to you <3 Feel free to message me if you ever want to chat!

VERONICA, I would say no, not positive. Try this evening, and tomorrow early afternoon. Looks like you're close though! I've had a few friends who have had a lot of issues with the clear blue's reliability.

I wouldn't trust those CBs someone else I know had the same issue the other day. Wondfo + CB said no. Her temps are looking like she O'd though. So trust the Wondfo, in my opinion.

Bre, I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. This TTC can wear you down. I'm dreading hitting my should-be due date.

Veronica, on the dollar store opk's, I would count that as positive, but I've had a mixed experience with wondfos. Last cycle, every wondfo I took for 10 days or so leading up to O looked just slightly lighter than that one you posted. I took dollar store ones with the same urine and they were clearly negative. Then they went SUPER positive for 3 days and I stopped taking them. The dollar store ones on those 3 days were a standard positive, a blazing positive, then a negative.

Fast forward to this cycle, I only took 4 opks and they were all wondfos from the same batch as last cycle. The first one was very light and clearly negative, the next day was clearly negative but much darker than the day before. Day 3 was a blazing positive, as was day 4. I haven't taken one today.

Normally I see them get gradually darker on the dollar store tests as then get one blazing positive day before they go negative.

So all in all, I think the wondfos are maybe just more sensitive than other brands?

Update on me: Looks like yesterday was O day! I'm going to stop temping after I get my crosshairs and I don't plan on testing until AF is about due. I'll be out of town this Friday to next Thursday so that should help this wait go by fast!
