Kristie...you are so supportive, thanks for that....all the ladies here are great! That's why i came back to the site so i could share my fears, worries frustration with women who understand exactly what i am going through....no one has to feel alone in all of this ttc...no need for that when we all have each other to lean on!
Glad to hear you got your + OPK.....the work is done...just the waiting game! I hope your 2ww goes by quickly with ease!
For me, i guess i will wait until Fri. CD35 before i get some bw done. I read somewhere that if no af by cd35, have bw done and if no bfp then it means i did not ovulate. I'm just hoping she shows up or a bfp shows up! I still have a little lingering hope.....it's so hard to give up when af is actually late!

Ryli, I am so sorry that it was not a BFP for you. When I was 8 days late a couple months ago, I waited paitently and kept testing with the internet cheapies & kept getting negatives, so when I was one week late I bought a FRER test and it was also a negative. When my AF did not arrive the next day, I was so sure that I was pregnant and it wasn't showing up for some reason, so I went to my OB and had them due a blood test. They said they would have the result the next morning and I woke up to AF that next day, so I never even called to get the news it was negative. I know how horribly frustrating this is and how you feel about your cycle being delayed. I hope that AF shows for you soon, so that you can get back on track. Good luck and I really hope things get better for you.
As for me, I took the month off of temping but I did OPK and got a + on CD16, so FF is guessing that I O'd yesterday and I am ok with that. The OPK yesterday on CD17 was - and that confused me a little because I usually have 2-3 days of +OPK's. Oh well... now the waiting begins. Good luck to everyone.

Well, tested this am with FRER and neg...now i just wait for af...im pretty sure FR is reliable. At least I have learned something, Clomid totally messed with me from the first pill on...it's been a rough month + (CD33) with no end in sight yet and I've decided i won't take it again. I know it was a wonder drug for some but i don't want to have my cycle and my life disrupted like that.
It was worth a shot anyway....I just hope af starts soon...although i have had no pms at all and no symptoms of af....very weird month.
What's disappointing is that if i was on my regualr schedule, i know i would have been O'ing on Nov 10/11......so i feel like i'm losing out on another opportunity to get pg! No more Clomid for me!
At least something has already come out of all the ttc effort...DH and I are closer than ever and that's such a blessing, whether we get our bfp or not!

Hi Sweeet mommie! So glad to hear from you....I had a hard time figuring out when i ovulated last month because of the OPK's but Friday the 16th of OCT had the darkest line...my lp is 15 days so AF was due on Sat. so I'm 3 or 4 days late!!! Yesterday when i woke up and wiped there was a glob of it and tonight i found more and i just find it strange...i've never noticed that before so I am soooo happy you had that before your BFP!!! I tested Sat. and Today with internet cheapies but both were bfn....so i went and got 2 FRER and will try tomorrow morning!!! I'm both excited and scared at the same time!.. It could just be the Clomid causing all of this but i hope it's a bfp that's responsible!!!

Hey Ryli, havent been on in a while when is AF due? I had EWCM at the beginning of this pregnancy and thought it was a yeast but was surprised. I hope this is your BFP. Luquesua

Hi April! Glad to hear you are back in the saddle again! I hope you guys get a real sticky one this time...I'm sure it's coming soon...don't worry! Say hi to Brant for Sean and I!!
I wanted to ask the ladies here if anyone has had any EWCM just before AF? I was checking to see my cervix position which is still medium high, closed and firm and noticed some ewcm....so of course i started googling like a crazy person and some say it could be a sign of pg!! So of course I got my hopes up again...UP, down, UP, down.....rollercoaster ride!

Hi Ryli!(Lisa)! I haven't talked to you in a while! Give Sean a hug for us!!
Well, this morning I got a positive OPK, so a bding I will go! If no BFP this month, then I may start temping next month. I'm just really worried that since my EP, that it closed my left tube. Anyway, it's all in God's hands, so I shouldn't worry.

asking ---you hang in there....we all need to band together and we will get through it. At least we have each other to talk this out to. Dr.'s don't really understand and even DH's....mine doesn't understand why i get upset and he can't understand what i went through on clomid cause it wasn't his body that felt like an alien for a month LOL!! I have cried a river during the 5 days taking these meds.....but that's not his experience so i'm glad we can talk it out on the board among friends!
I just ignore all those titles and explanations like advanced maternal age, etc. It doesn't really mean anything to me so stay tough! You can hang in there. Pretty soon we will have to re-name the thread to "Oldie Goldies"..! lol...

Askinggod.....What the heck is exactly what i'm saying!!!!.....there's nothing left for me to do unless I want to get agressive with meds and procedures which we don't want to go to those lengths! It's too much at my age to get into all that so when the new year comes, I think i am just going to go with the flow and not do anything at all and try until March or April and then that's it for me. We have to realize that it's something we have no control over and i bet you when we finally surrender to that fact, our blessings will come.....when we are the least prepared for it.....

I am right there with you ryli...Can you believe its been almost a year!!!!!Ughhhh...I to have tried clomid, with no luck...this month i am using preseed... I know my tubes r open and all bw is good so now its like what the heck????

You're right Kristie...being that late is especially hard. How can you not think that maybe...just maybe it's a bfp even though it's neg! So hard...
Angie...I agree with you on the OPK's....I had the worst time this month with the OPK's and Clomid. First I didn't know not to test within 3 days after taking the last pill so i started getting a false + and did all that BD for nothing (well not according to DH LOL!!), then i waited another few days and still had positives....almost as dark as the control line....I was testing twice a day,....used about 16 opk's and drove myself nuts examining the colours in all types of lighting!! LOL!! And, in the end, I really couldn't tell you if I ovulated or not...I THINK one morning was darker than all the others! Then I had to stop testing because I ran out of them!! Very frustrating....I can't wait to start using my CB fertility monitor again!
Sugagrl....I had a few false alarms with my two babies as well...it happens....it just means your body is gearing up for the big event....! You don't have long to go! I hope the time flies by for you..! Good Luck!
