Ok girls!!!

I hope you all have had a great Saturday! DH bought another project car so we drove 4 hours there and back for a set of wheels! Lol life with no kids!!!

So it looks like I am 2dpo! Even though I never got a positive opk... I started testing on cd8... I got close to a pos on cd10. I hate not having the digitals but since I wanted to test twice a day I didn't want to pay $50!!

From temping you can see that I had a temp shift! Yay

But This morning I had pink/slimy cm.... Never had this before? Do you think it's ovulation spotting? (what is ov spotting?) I only had it on tp this morning so since we were going to be in the car all day driving I wore a panty liner and at our first potty brake there was just a tiny bit of brown on liner?.... Nothing ever since??? This is weird for me. Have any of you gals had this or have any insight for me?

Thanks!

I didn't see you posted Jazzy!
I just looked at your chart and it looks really really good!!! I hope you get a Christmas BFP!!!

Thanks Kalie! I hope the same for you.

It sounds like O spotting to me! I get exactly what you decribed every month, usually a day or two before O though. It is like pinkish brown tinged EWCM. Sorry about the TMI!

A little odd that it came after O! Hmmm. A little early to be IB I think. Maybe some of the other ladies have some thoughts...

Hopefully it is a good sign regardless!

Thanks girl!.... I thought the same that its too soon for IB and what I've read online is that ovulation spotting is before you O?.... Looking at my chart I did O right? Michelle is really good with charts!!! Oh good grief haha

Hey!

Hmmm....interesting about the spotting Kalie. Could it be from BDing? I dont get any spotting until after ovulation right before AF comes.....so I really dont have good advice! Google ovulation spotting to see if other women have posted about their experiences....that might help more than I can!

Jazzy your chart looks great! Cant wait to see your temp tomorrow! I will check it first thing!

Kalie I definitely think you ovulated! What OPKs are you using? I swear by the OPKs I get off eBay.....always accurate and cheap!

Hope you ladies are having a great Saturday! I cleaned the house, ironed and hung the Xmas ornaments! Whew! Now I am relaxing on the couch with my Stella and ipad! Hubby and son are in the "man room"......aka future nursery....playing on their computers. We got about one inch of snow compared to the 12 inches we were supposed to get. LOL. Still cold....brrrr...

Kalie, looks like you might have ovulated. The temps before the few days prior to O seemed high though. Where is Michelle? Lol. We need her expertise here...

I know my temps look good now, but in the past, my temps are almost always this high until 11 dpo, then I get a drop on 12 or 13 dpo (but usually 12 dpo). So tomorrow's temp should be very telling... I know I shouldn't get my hopes up. It would be a miracle if we conceived on our own... But I have a good feeling this time for some reason. Maybe I am just in a good mood because of Christmas. Even if AF shows, it's ok, because we have our urology appointment coming up. Help is on the way!

Hi again ladies! Thanks for letting me join your discussions here! You all sound like a great group of gals and I hope that we all get our BFP's and full-term pregnancies soon! And yes, silly me... I meant Melissa ;) I have a lot of girlfriends named Michelle and that must've just been on my mind! :)

Jazzy - I don't have any experience with temp'ing, but I hope that your temps stay high and that you get some good news soon! That would be so wonderful if you could do everything on your own before you have your appointments! I can't imagine what you are going through... that must be very difficult.

Kalie - good luck during your 2WW! And yay for the new project car! That sounds like fun! I always think of the things we can do now before we have kids and try to appreciate them, like you said... but that is easier said than done most days! I'm curious to hear more about your acupuncture. I've considered looking into that, but I didn't even know how to find someone legit and I was curious to hear about your experiences.

Melissa - yay for BD'ing even when DH is not feeling well! Before TTC I always thought I'd get a little break from him when he was sick, but instead he's always like "It'll make me feel better and heal faster"... haha! What they say for sex! Happy you didn't get 12 inches of snow. I grew up in Delaware and came south to get away from the snow!! haha! Are you feeling better from your UTI? Hope so... those suck!

Michelle - congrats on consolidating your financial stuff! I know that's going to be a load off your mind! The one thing I wish we could do before a baby is get into a house-house. We are in a townhouse now, but I'm not ready to take a hit on it yet. I know we'll make it up in the next house, but we're not there yet to be able to take that hit. It's odd though... every month of BFN's we get is one month closer to that goal. Why are my goals so oppositely aligned?? haha!

AFM - just hanging out with my parents who are in town from Delaware and saying my final goodbyes for the month to my favorite AF ;) I'm hoping that being on vacation during the 1st part of my cycle will help to ovulate sooner and help me be less stressed. Since my D&C I've been ovulating on CD19-20... which is SO late for me... esp since my cycles have been about 30 days lately. We'll see how this one goes! I always say I wish I could just not care when I ovulate, but I have to start progesterone when I do... so that's always a little stressful. I start getting irritated by day 18 or so that I don't see any +'s because I used to ovulate CD 14-15... oh the joys of TTC! :) Thanks again for letting me join you, ladies! I'm happy to be going through this experience with you! It's nice to have some support... most of my friends either don't have kids or have had amazingly easy pregnancies right off BC (or even on BC, for that matter) and I can only fill DH's head with TTC chatter for so long before he thinks I'm crazy ;)

Hey girls!!! I was at work today :( blah!! Okay Kalie even with an absolute no doubt positive opk I'd say you seemed to have o'd :) I'd keep checkig with opks just i case though!! You don't want to miss that eggie!!!! OMG Melissa those temps sure took a dive! Looks like that estrogen is building up for that big O finally :) Jazzy that is one nice lookin chart :) sadly though it just takes one low temp to ruin it huh??? I hate that excitemet that builds up and boom the next day drops like a degree. I swear I'm not counting on anything until like 18 dpo lol I'm so sick of getting my hopes up only to be crushed....I'll have to keep an eye on yours to see what those temps plan on doing!!! Lisa I'll have to stalk your page soon to see how you're doing lol do you use opks or anything since you don't temp?? I am so excited for christmas!!!! I can't wait for the kiddies to open their presents :). Sadly we won't have snow though :( was so hoping for a white Christmas....oh my get to wrap all the presents tomorrow :) can't wait....I'll check back on tomorrow once I get back from shopping and wrapping :)

Jazzy!! Your chart looks great this morning!! I think I would cry tears of sheer joy if you are pregnant!

Lisa- My UTI cleared up nicely....and I hope I never get one like that again! I had a lot of blood in my urine, which meant it was quite an infection. I know exactly where I got it from....hubby and I did a little experimenting a few nights before and.....hello UTI. LOL.

Michelle- I am excited too for our little guy to open his Xmas gifts. We try to get one big thing a year and love to watch his face when he opens it. He enjoys the small things too...but of course the big ticket item always wins out! Sorry to hear about not having a white Xmas....it does tend to make the day when there is white stuff on the ground. When does PA usually get snow? (You're in PA right?!)

Kalie- After you O, do you get sore boobs or nipples? Mine hurt like crazy....which is how I know I haven't ovulated since my D&C. Boo! Hopefully that gets going soon! Are you still spotting?

I'm going to finish up my peppermint tea, shower and get out to the grocery store to buy everything we need for Xmas. Every year I make my homemade egg nog for our family party....and requests for it grow every holiday...so I have to double my recipe. Hope it still turns out okay!

Have a great Sunday!

We get snow whenever it wants too lol Sometimes all winter sometimes nothing...It blows we just never know and yes I am in PA on the western side. Yes I am a Steeler fan even though they sucked today and stupidly lost :( Melissa I know exactly what you are talking about ;) I did the same thing once than is exactly how I got my uti and not to be sick but that damn thing started hurting the same exact day and by the next day my girl part was on freaking fire lol Never did that again!!! No no :) We didn't get one big gfit this year. Just a whole bunch! It is exactly what they wanted to they are going to be absolutely thrilled :) Last year we did the one big gift and they still use but are getting a little big. It was a hot wheel motorized car but their big butts overheat the poor batter lol

The big day is so almost here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't believe then onto a whole new year with new goals and wishes and hopefully we will all end up with little bablies in our arms :)
