Coral I saw you had not been in so I helped out. I had a little time before writing my paper for class.
I hope all you ladies are doing great. I am praying that we see more BFP's very soon in here. I have stopped temping so I will only have to wait and see from now on. It feels good not to be doing that any more. I am only watching my cycle days. I wish you all the best. Miranda

Hi Trisha...I am feeling the same way. I am temping every morning but am putting off OPKs for a few days. I have to do it because the clomid may change my cycle some, but I am not going crazy. I seem to notice that quite a few ladies get their BFPs each week, but those of us who a more neurotic (not pointing any fingers....except at myself!) and post on here daily and go crazy over every little symptom and are testing 3x a day, etc...DON'T get our BFPs...probably because we are stressed out and dwelling on it too much. I think I have a plan now, I know my body pretty well, and clomid has helped regulate my ovulation, so I am going to take it easy and try to "ignore" my everyday urge to look something up on the internet about getting pregnant..LOL. I can't believe I am already on CD 11 and ovulation is right around the corner....its time to get on with my life and get pregnant the old fashioned way. We were busy all weekend cleaning out the garage and organizing so we can finish it off into a game room. Between that and kids going back to school, I have been trying to keep my mind busy with other things. Well, I have rambled on long enough. Time to get busy for the day! Good luck ladies and have a great day! I am thankful that Gustav didn't do too much damage! Take care!

Hi everyone, good to see you back on Amanda! I'll email you on Tues. from work. Carol, can you put me as CD6 on Tues.? I wasn't as neurotic this month with the testing but still was hopeful with the symptoms. I am beginning to see that all the fuss isn't necessarily doing any good. Seems like lots of us are getting frustrated lately, me included. I'm laying low in Sept. and leaving my tests alone until AF is due. I enjoyed my 3 day weekend and not ready to go back to work. 3 of my DS's have football games this coming weekend and I'm looking forward to spending my Sat. watching them. My 8 year old is a little football stud this year. I'm a maniac at his games. My 3 year old's b-day is Wed. I can't believe how time flies!! My baby is going to be 4!! Trisha

Boston you will be missed. I hope you have a blessed holy time.
I hope everyone has a great week ahead. My head has been hurting bad the past few days so with Internet classes I have limited my time of looking at a PC. I hope to see BFP's soon. Miranda

Emari, you can test more, but once you get a positive OPK you can just BD until you get your thermal shift, if you take your temps. Because once your temps go up it confirms "O" has already occured. That can save a few tests as well, because you can get a pos LH surge for up to 3 days, but they are all possibly fertile days, so just BD!
Sorry I have been away for so long, but I have been busy working on the after effects of TS Fay. At any rate I pray and trust you ladies are doing well.
DH and I went away for the weekend. I got my first positive on OPK's last Friday... first month using them and was quite surprised that I had gotten a positive result.
A quick question...After the positive test on the OPK...do you continue to test or do you assume you will "O" in the next 36 hours.

Just wanted to let you all know I'll be mia for the next month. I hope that when I get back we're all pregnant!!! For anyone who is muslim, Ramadan Mubarak!

Hi everyone! Well went to my GYN last week and I will be having a HSG done on Sept 12 or sooner if AF comes on time. (Which I'm sure she is on her way because I tested today and BFN and PMS is getting the best of me the past two days.. LOL) He wrote me an order for antibiotics to start 2 days before the HSG and for a few to take after to try and ward off any infection. He said that will be our first step and if my tubes seem blocked then we will probably have another laporoscopic done to check everything out in there.. I know how you all feel about the first day or two of AF. I get very emotional and nobody close to me understands just how upset I get. I guess by getting on here it lets me know that I'm not alone on this crazy TTC ride.. LOL Well I wish everyone the best! Have a great Labor Day!
Prayers to everyone in the Gulf Coast!

I wish I could say that I'm going to stop temping after this month but I know myself too well. It's just so hard to be on this wicked emotional rollercoaster month after month. When I look at peeps who have been trying for years my hat is off to them because I'm not strong enough to do that.
My temp took a dive today, though still above the coverline, but I tested again, since I'm at 11dpo and it was stark white. lol. I hate that stark white color!!!
