K8: I'm sorry, but I know nothing about temps because I don't do it. Was your other positive OPK yesterday? If so, that happens to me: I'll get 2 days because I guess the first is when it starts and the 2nd could be before it's over. That's my guess. And even though I hate BDing only every OTHER day, I hear that's best.... not every day. Give the man a chance to build up his little swimmers :)

Jerseygirl - Thanks so much!! Dh told me to stop in and see if anyone answered me. He said if they say we should bd then we will. If we take a break tonight you think tomorrow night will be ok? I know we should build up those swimmers but I don't want to miss our window.

Yes yesterday was my 1st Really Positive OPK.

K8: I think today's + OPK was just before your "O" ended, so you're still somewhat in the window. However, if it's not + anymore, it means youre done "Oing" and BDing now won't help your chances. Good luck and talk tomorrow!!

K8cherry, Once you have 3 sustained higher temps...then you can pinpoint your O day, which is the day before the first rise. I always get 2 positive OPK's in a row. I think I catch the surge on the way up and way down. You USUALLY O about 24 to 36 hours after the first surge. I would keep bding until you see the third temp shift just to be safe. You are probably Oing today :) YAY!
Well, I woke up this morning with another high temp. No AF (YAY) I still have plans to wait until Friday. But AF should've shown her face by yesterday. The only time I have gone longer than 31 days is with my m/c last month. I'm on day 32 now. Last month I m/c'd on day 37. I really feel like I am NOT pg. No symptoms at all. Completely different than last month.(maybe a good thing). If AF is coming I wish she'd hurry up!

Hi ladies, thankyou for all the welcomes, Lucky, Roxy, I too hear that shopping is awesome in Dubai - i've never left the airport before though, but hopefully will get a chance to soon! In Asia it is hard to get any decent clothes as the Asians are so small, i know i'll go crazy when I get a chance to shop - & that's saying something as I usually hate shopping.
Diem, Newmommy Dh is an engineer, I'm loving travelling now as i know when we do have kids it will be a lot harder as they get older & I probably won't want to. Diem your Dh's shifts are crazy, is he away from home for 72 hours solid? Harsh.
newmommy & K8, as for getting OPKs i didn't even know what they were until this cycle - now I know though I want to get some for sure, if I can't find them here though I'll just hold off a few weeks til I know I can get them. If I order them by mail they'll probably get here too late anyway. This way I can ease into my obsessions, I'll start next cycle doing temps & cm & if need be (optimistic!) Opks the following one.
I'm none too hopeful this cycle as i'm on cd 18 & no sign of ewcm, af due anytime in the next 7 to 14 days (based on past 6 months cycle lengths) so I think either I missed it or didn't O. It won't be for lack of trying though!
*babydust to Diem, Jerseygirl hope afs stay well away!

Morning, ladies. So last night at around 10, I started to get cramps. DH was upset - tried to convince me it was a stomach ache! But I don't think so. The only thing different with me this cycle is that my lower back has been KILLING me. Not every single day, but quite a number. I usually only get that before I get sick, but I haven't gotten sick and don't feel like I am. I'm getting so nervous every time I go to the bathroom now - expecting some spotting or something. Still some cramps now - I'm sure AF is on her way.

Harriet, My DH is at work for 24 hours and off for 48 :) He only works once every three days. He will be a stay at home daddy on the days he doesn't work :)

Jerseygirl, I know what you mean about "going to the bathroom". I'm still waiting on AF. Keep us updated on your status. I am praying that this is your month. C'mon ladies we need some BFP's around here!!!

Thanks so much girls - it's so nice to know people are rootin' for us! DIEM: Did AF show for you yet? Hope you're doing OK. Alright, so this may be TMI and I'm sorry but who else can I tell this stuff to? So I feel like AF's coming because, even though nothing is coming out from "there," I feel "drippies." But when I go to the bathroom to check, nothing is there. Just regular CM. This is something I've never tracked before... I know it's different throughout my cycle, I just don't know what it's like at what point. Always just before I get AF, I feel like I already got it because, well, of that drippy feeling. This is why I think she's coming. Any thoughts????

JerseyGirl & Diem - Thanks for your help on the opk's. I got another positive I think but not as strong and my temp shot up again this morning so I think I either o'd on Monday or yesterday. DH and i skipped the bd last night but I am hoping to squeeze one more in tonight. Sometime between Dancing with the Stars and Lost. hehehe!!!! You guys sound VERY promising. I am rooting for the both of you. Lets get the BFP's on a roll here. JerseGirl - It's never TMI. Thats why we are here. I heard on other threads that some women start producing more cm when they are pregnant but I know you don't want to look into everything. I am hoping the witch stays away. Harriet - The obsession will begin soon. At first you don't really think about it and then all of sudden thats all you think about. But we are here to help you through it and obsess with you. Off to cook dinner. Be back later to chat some more :-)

Hey Everyone! I hope your hump day went well and you celebrated with lots of Bding. Couldn't resist getting that one in there. Ok...jokes aside. I am cheering for you Diem, JerseyGirl and K8!!! NO AF! NO AF! NOOOOOOO AF!!!
Hang in there. We need some postive pg tests in the next few days. I am on cd22. jumping DH tonight because he was too tired last night. I am hoping for some power swimmers. =)
All those who are on clomid...do you get extremely bitchy the week before AF is to come?? My fuse is so short these last few days. The littlest things piss me off. Then I'm ok...these crazy hormones!! Just curious to see if I'm the only one experiencing this lovely phenomenon.
Well I have to finish making dinner. Blah! Lots of baby dust!

JerseyGirl - I am happy to help. I am hoping to get in some bding in tonight. I tested again tongiht with a opk and it was negative so I know I o either yesterday or Monday. Yeah I am officially in the 2WW. Since the egg can last up to 24 hours I am hoping tonight will help since I miss last nice. My temps went from 97.1 on Mon. to 97.5 Tues and this morning it sored to 98.1 so I think thats a good sign. We bd on Fri night, twice on Sun, and once Mon night and hopefully tonight. Just hope there was enough swimmers after all that. :-)
