Well I think the past few cycles before this one, I O'd on CD14 or 15. Last cycle was my first using the strips, and I think I started on Day 10 and I used them only once a day around 7 p.m. I never got a positive or a real dark line, just a few faints. This cycle I used them twice a day and on the weekend I did maybe at 3 points during the day and Sunday I got the darkest line I've seen. Although it still wasn't as dark as the control, it was close, so I considered it positive because after that I never even got a faint. I continued to test thru Tuesday. FF gave me the O day of Sunday (CD12) which seems a little early, but maybe not. Thats why I think I O'd Monday because you usually get the surge before you actually O I heard. So we'll see. We kept to a schedule of BDing every other day, and I hope it worked!

Tiffany ~


I too have been following your journey, and my advice is to RELAX....don't chart, just bd every other day. I NEVER charted, temp'd. I too was on clomid (days 3-7) and just bd'd every other day on days 10-20. I think all the rest of it is just WAY TOO MUCH STRESS!!!


Enjoy your time together, relax and this will be your month!! We had 2 cycles on clomid and #2 was the magic month for us!!

Tiffanie!

Do as your heart tells you. Personally, now that i'm in this charting business, It is a lot more stressful if i miss a temp, or don't temp at all. I'm getting used to know what's going on. I wish I never had open the pandora box LOL!

HEY TIF I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOU AND I ARE IN THE SAME BOAT THIS MONTH IF IT DOESNT HAPPEN THIS MONTH WE WILL BE ON HOLD FOR 7 MONTHS TO A YEAR .WHICH ISNT SITTING WELL WITH ME BEING THAT IM 35 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW MY EGGS ARE GETTING OLD. ANOTHER YEAR WILL ONLY MAKE IT HARDER. HOWEVER THERE ISNT REALY MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT IT SEEING THAT DH WILL BE TAKING A JOB IN FL FOR A FEW MONTHS AND ALSO BE CHECKING OUT SOME REALASTSTE. UHH . I FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATION WITH TEMPING AND ALL UT THAT IS REALY THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO HELP ME SO THIS MONTH I WILL CHART ,OPK AND TEMP BUT I WILL TRY TO AVOID THE BOARDS AND FOCUS ON XMASS AND MY FAMILY WICH I MIGHT ADD I FEEL GUILTY FOR SOMEWHAT NEGLECTING DUE TO ALL THE EMOTIONAL CRAZYNESS. TODAY I SPENT ALOT OF TIME READING THE BIBLE AND PRAYING TO GOD NOT ONLY FOR ANOTHER CHILED BUT FOR SOME PATIENTENCE DEALING WITH MY ALLREADY BEAUTIFUL LY BLESSED CHILDREN. I VE LOST THE FOCUS IN THIS WORLD OF TTC'ING AND HAVE BEEN PUTTING MY FAMILYS NEEDS ON THE BACK BURNER. I REFUSE TO DO THAT ANY LONGER FOR THIS COULD BE A LONG JOURNEY AND ITS JUST NOT FAIR TO ANYONE.

GOODLUCK DONT STOP TEMPING OR OPKING JUST ENJOY THE TIME YOU HAVE TOGTHER NOW. BECAUSE YOU WILL SURLY REGRET IT WHEN HE IS GONE IF YOU DONT . DO YOUR BEST TO BD EVERY DAY IF POSSIBLE AND MABY JUST MABY WE WILL BE PREGO TOGTHER
