Ok I sent a request! What cd are you on?

just invited y'all to a private group. thought it would be easier to share pictures with each other.

I'm getting nervous since I'm working against that Saturday PM cutoff! It's practically here and I haven't O'd yet. EEK!!!

I took another opk today and it's pretty strong. I think it's a little fainter than the control line, but it's definitely questionable. What the heck?!? I'm so glad I'm temping this go round.

Yes I am going to slowly ween myself off the lotion first and then vitex. I might request another lab before I go off vitex....

I know, why make the capsule orange! Must be made by a man! ? The inside goop is white. During my investigation I cut one open. It took me a few minutes to realize that the orange capsule disintegrates... So scary!

I am going for my second labs this today but wont get the results till Monday. They wont let me schedule my first apt till they see what my numbers are... I quit taking my temp and hpt. I am trying to have faith that this pregnancy is going to be successful!

Hb if you look at my chart I had 2 days where I thought I ovulated and then didn't! Keep temping, that temp shift is coming!

Happy Friday! Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

Chen- that's crazy your progesterone supplements are that color! Are they trying to get women to worry!? Glad that's all it was ?. Are you continuing the vitex and progesterone cream?

Darn Hb- looks like you are going to need to bd again lol. Don't worry about the dogs waking you up. Waking up early would have raised your temp and it wasn't that high so I don't think it affected it much. Just make a note of it.. Today has to be it! Good luck!

No temp shift this AM! Only up .1 or so and my dogs woke me up briefly a couple hours before. I didn't get out of bed, but my sleep was interrupted momentarily. I was thinking for sure yesterday was the day and I would see a dramatic shift today.

That would startle me, too, Chen!! How long is your commute, sunkissed?

Good thing it wasn't fmu for hpt! I think quality is def more important! Sunkissed is right they just need enough to swim through the cervix.

Sunkissed I am sorry, fatigue is the worst! Mine hits around 6pm I am hopping into bed each night right after dd goes to bed. How are your classes going with how tired you are feeling?

I had a panic moment earlier today. I thought I had started spotting. It ended up being that I leaked some of my progesterone capsule out and the actual capsule is a burnt orange color and dissolves after being inserted! ? So glad I figured it out before I called my obgyn freaking out! ?

Haha. Yes good thing it wasn't going to be an important dip!

As far as the EWCM there probably was plenty of it left near your cervix. That's exciting that the grapefruit juice worked that well! If you are dry tomorrow you probably O'd today! Of course that would also be confirmed by your temp shifting.. Drying up is just a secondary sign.

Ladies- I have been struggling with fatigue.. it gets so bad that I feel guilty about driving home from work (like I really shouldn't be on the road fatigue). And today the hunger hit me pretty hard. I've been trying to eat well but if this hunger continues to be this intense I think I'm going to start packing on the pounds pretty quick. Wouldn't be a bad thing I guess because I have lost as much as 6 pounds as of a few days ago.

Oh and what are our thoughts on quantity vs quality of ewcm? Had some very nice super clear stretchy stuff earlier this afternoon but by the time we headed to bed and bd'd tonight I think it was already gone .... ?! Or at least harder to notice.

Omg y'all are going to laugh at me. I went to take another opk (not entirely sure why at this point but I'm still testing anyway) ... and then I poured my cup of pee back in the toilet, flushed, and realized I hadn't even dipped my opk yet!! ???

At least it wasn't going to be an important timing one!!! ?

Chen- so glad they are giving you a supplement! Wonder what your progesterone would have been without the cream and the vitex!? Are you going to stop using those after you start the supplement?

Hb- I liked seeing the pattern as well. You should O within 12-72 hours after the first positive OPK. Can't wait to see that temp shift!

We will see about that temp! I'm glad I started temping - it's kind of fun to see the patterns develop.

Glad you're getting on a supplement, too! I hope this go around if I do end up with a bfp that my doc will check levels. As a practice, they don't check levels unless they think something is wrong. She did say that after a mc, they would probably check. I think I'll try to make some demands if I end up back there lol

My temp dipped before ovulation! Fx for your rise tomorrow! Keep baby dancing as you can o 12-48 hours after pos opk and your egg can live 24 before fert! I love grapefruit juice too. ?

My obgyn are putting me on progesterone supplements. I'm kinda relieved because this is one more thing that will help me keep this baby! My levels was on the low side at 12.6

Yay for being late!!

I got a halfway positive last night (I think the neg one was after drinking my half gallon of water for the day) and another positive this AM. Just did my noon one and it seems to be fading a bit (so technically negative), but still a strong line. Last cycle I had one and only one +opk so I'm excited to have a few more (don't know why though!!)

My temp has been low last few days so I'm wondering if the temperature surge will happen tomorrow. I'll post!

Grapefruit juice is my new obsession. I hope I'm not drinking too much but I also just really like it!! Think I just noticed the first sign of ewcm. It has been very smooth and creamy before today.
