BFN and a new chart for me!

Hi ladies,

For anyone who's been following my saga, here's an update. After 4 days of AF, a BFN this morning (yes, I had to waste a test to give myself some closure), and looking through some different charts on FF, I've decided it's not that strange that my temps never dropped near CL. So, I started a new chart today, counting Saturday as Day 1.

I know a lot of you probably thought I was crazy for keeping my hopes up just b/c of my temps anyway, but since I'm new to this whole charting thing, I really was confused when my temps didn't drop as much as I thought they were supposed to. So, thanks for everyone who read (and a big thanks to all who replied!) my posts these last few days, and I guess it's onto a brand new cycle for me! A clean slate, ready to marked with the "X"s of BD-ing! :)

If you're crazy, then so am I! AF came last week, a week late, when I was convinced I was pregnant. Anyway, today I went to my gyn for my annual, and they had mixed me up with someone else and said, "You need a pregnancy test today, right?" And I almost said yes! Hope springs eternal...

Good luck to both of us this cycle.

Steph

Aww ADC, we'd never think you were crazy for testing even after af showed...that's like me asking the dr to do a b/t last month just because af was weird and all my fears of being pg when on these horrible meds.... it helps get us through sanely and knowing that we do indeed have a nice clean slate to start on once more. I hope your BD x's put the perfect mark to your chart this cycle and that bfp is just waiting for you in the end!!! GL and Hang in there!!! Huge ((((((((hugs)))))))))) LOLove,Connie

Hi ADC

Huge hugs to u....and tons of luck for a bfp next cycle.

Waiting & hoping can literally make one go mad.....taking a preg test keeps ur sanity alive atleast. My cycle started on Sunday too. Let me know if u want to be cycle buddies & hope we get to go down the board this time....

Lots of luck...

Hey A, I definitely do not think you are crazy. You didn't do anything we all haven't thought of doing a million times. If we didn't keep our hopes up we'd all go stark raving mad.

I think you've actually come out ahead because you've no sooner started a new chart and you're already 4 or 5 days into your cycle! Woo hoo! The O fairy can't be far behind.

Have fun with the BDing and heaps and heaps of good luck to you this cycle!

Thanks Steph! At least I know I'm not the only "crazy" one here! If you ask me, I think we're all a little nutty here sometimes! :)

Thanks Connie! Even if we are "crazy," at least we all get to be "crazy" together here! :)

Thanks Priya! Yep, anything to keep my sanity alive - even if it means taking a PG test right after AF! Even if I'm nuts, at least I know for sure I'm not PG! :) BTW, I'd love to have a cycle buddy to share this next cycle with! I'm on CD 5 right now, but my cycles run anywhere from 31 to 38 days...so you may just leave me in the dust if you're one of the lucky 28-day girls! Thanks again!

Thanks Leah! I'm so glad you girls don't think I'm crazy! As for my new chart, I was just thinking the same thing today - it's pretty cool to start a new chart and already have 5 days of temps to put in! Hmmm...maybe I'll do it this way from now on!

Oh, how I wish that meant that the "O" fairy wasn't far behind, but I didn't "O" till CD21 last cycle, so I've probably got a good 2-week wait for her. Hey - it's not fair for me to have TWO 2-week waits per cycle, is it? I think I should file a complaint or something! :) Anyway, thanks again!

ADC,

this from the woman that took 3 HPT one after the other because they kept coming BFN:

YOU ARE NOT CRAZY, JUST NORMAL!

Hope next time it will be IT!

Love,

Would love to have a friend to share the cycle with - my cycles are generally 30 days long - but, that doesn't matter.....will be there for you still! Let me know....

My dh will be gone for a week starting this weekend - well....which means he would not be there around O. And he is going to Japan.......WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! And my in-laws are here from India...... But, I think I am going to spend precious miles to go with him - lets see if that gets me some luck..... I catch myself thinking "Stupid Girl!!!! Flying all the way across the globe to TTC....am I going NUTS????" But, I think I am going to do it...... So, I will let u know if I will have web access there.....

Here's my chart....
