Still here ladies! I'm so boring at the moment, just waiting for the 20th May to start on round 2 of bd'ing!
I'm so interested to hear what you're all experiencing though!
Tryn and Cristal, good luck for testing! I think I'm in a totally different time zone so you may have already tested but my fingers are crossed!!!

Looby, no, he signed a contract with me which states he wants nothing to do with the baby as far as custody goes (we did agree to send him pictures and updates) until the child is 18. Then they will have full disclosure of who he is. I don't think it's fair to totally block him out. Also, if my child ever wanted to know the other half of their genetic whole, I think they should be able to know!
Crista, let us know as soon as you do! We are eagerly awating your BFP!! =0)
alc, have fun with the BDing!
Simone, what a nice surprise!
As for me, not much new to report. Had a busy day today. It was pretty hot here, and humid. We got a new grill and I put that together, and then my partner cooked steaks, green peppers and onions, and corn on the cob. Usually I like the onions, but tonight they just tasted off, so I only had one bite. I did eat my steak and corn, but I only ate it because it tasted good. I wasn't hungry at all. I'm still crampy, still have sore b___bs, and still tired as all get out! The last two are also PMS symptoms for me though, so that kinda sucks. I usually don't get cramps until the first full day of AF, so that part of things is kinda different. Oh, and I'm not sleeping well either. Last two nights I woke on and off all night and then woke up between 5-5:30AM. As tired as I am, I can't seem to sleep.
I'm glad to see everyone posting. It sure is nice to sit at the computer and get to see how everyone is doing.

Hey ladies im still cramping and it feels so similar to the cramps I had in my 1st pregnancy kinda around the b___t area too LOL I remember b/c I was so nervous I went to the e.r and they said it was normal. 1st pregnancy I was in shock, found out when I was 4wks and 3days thought I couldnt have kids b/c my last relationship was 5yrs long and I wasnt on anything and nothing hpnd not once. A few months after I broke it off and moved to TX he called and said he was finally gna have a baby so I thought for sure I couldnt get pregnant. God is so awesome I now have a 12mth old a wonderful husband and hopefuly a new addition to our family. Ladies dont give up please dont give up...

Simone, that's so lovely :)
Phoenix, you're on fertility friends right? How do I add you or can I even do that?
Tryn, have you tested yet?? Is it a BFP?!?!?!

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning!
Geeze, tryn.. you're gonna make us all wait one more day to test? What DPO are you?
alc, I am, but I'm not sure how to add you. I know I can email you my chart, but I don't know if I can just link you to it.
I held off another day of testing, I'm so proud of myself! It is such a struggle each morning not to test. My temp was way down this morning, but I woke up COLD. I think I'm going to wait and see what my temp does for the next couple of days, at least, and decide to test from there. If it keeps going down, I'll know the withch is on her way and it's just a waste to test.

tryn, I don't blame you, I'm scared to test too. Last month I tested like 4 times and it is crushing to see all those BFN's. I'm 2 days ahead of you, and I haven't tested yet, although I have seen a LOT of charts that have tested BFP at 9 DPO. Just don't think I'm ready yet to get another disappointment.

Advice for those thinking about signing up to FF- I joined them about 2wks ago (if I get AF next week then I'll start charting with gusto!) & have been getting daily emails on how to use it. Can't imagine it's THAT complicated but thought I'd let you know it seems to make sense to sign up before you're ready to chart so you can find your way around it ok.
Dani- did you found it easy enough to use FF month? What an amazingly generous thing your donor & his wife are doing for other couples when it's something they've wanted so much for themselves. Lovely to hear there are people like that. Hope your temp starts going back soon- is it that s/forward then, that if you're pt you maintain a constant higher temp?
Cristal- we're still waiting to hear??
GL everyone else. Keep us posted xxx

Looby, I think FF is pretty easy to use. You can also take a "cla__s" there that teaches you how to do everything. I'm still on the free trial of the VIP (you get like 30 days free VIP) and when that's done, I'm going to check out the free version and see how I like it. I'll probably buy the VIP though. It's 45 bucks but if it helps me get pregnant faster, it'll be well worth it!
Your temp will stay high as long as you have progesterone in your system, and that raises in pregnancy, so it should stay high. I have looked at charts though where it stayed high right up until the day AF showed her ugly face, so it's not a proof positive of pregnancy. If it stays high for 18 days though, it is a really good sign.
I took my temp at 7:AM after waking at 5 and 6, and it was way down. It also happened to be really cold in the bedroom. I put the comforter on the bed and I went back to sleep at 8 and slept until 10:30ish. My temp was much better then, but it was like 2 hours after my normal temp taking time. FF says you should take your temp at the same time every day (mine is around 8AM), but it also says to take it after at least 3 hours of inturrupted sleep, so I'm not sure which temp would be more accurate. I made a note on my chart, but used the higher temp since I was so cold when I woke up the first time and I had such lousy sleep before that.
I also love the fact that we all are in this together. I wait with excitement when someone is close to their testing dates for the BFP. I share in the misery when someone gets a BFN, and share what info I can. It's like we have a good little circle going here!

Much as I'm looking forward to getting a BFP, I'm also kinda looking forward to AF so I can chart next month & see what happens!! Obviously I'd rather be pt & not have to go thro this again but at least I kinda have something to look forward to if she does show up...
If you don't get the news you want this month, it will be interesting for you to at least have this as your baseline for next month. I'll look into the VIP bit on FF, didn't realise they had that.
When you gonna test next then? You waiting til Mon as well??
PS- With an 11month old, I regularly get 3 hours of interrupted sleep! ;)
