Welcome to a new month!

Good luck to everyone this month!

So after my temp drop yesterday I woke up this morning and my temp went back up. I took a hpt and got a bfn. I just wish af would get here so I can start a new month.

LOTS of baby dust ALL around for August!!!

I am with you Crystal... My temp stayed the same this morning, but AF is STILL not here. I didn't test this morning becuase my temp dropped the last 2 days, and I really think she is on her way. I wish she would go ahead and come on, so I can move to a new cycle, and a new chance at a BFP!!! Maybe next month will be it for both of us.

Well, only 15 days left until I go back to work. I LOVE my summers, and I cannot believe it is time to go back to school. I enjoy my job, but it is always hard for me to get back into a more structured schedule. HOWEVER, maybe being at work during the day will help me not to obsess so much about TTC... maybe...

Happy August!! And hopefully many more BFP!

Wright & Lauren - So sorry for the AF signs. That old hag just seems to want to stick around!

My temp went way down from yesterday but I got a High on my CBFM. Would it make a difference on my Monday temp if I stayed in bed all day Sunday? I hate to admit it but that is what I did...I only got up to eat and then right back to bed for another nap! It was a long Saturday night. I assume that is why my temp was so high on Monday? Then again who knows??

Anyone else waiting to O?

Crystal - sorry it looks like AF is coming.

Lauren - I know what you mean about getting back on a structured schedule. I haven't slept well all summer b/c I'm not in any kind of routine. I better start working on that now so I will be ready to go back to work in 2 weeks.

Roma - Did you decide if you're going back to work this year? I can't remember.

Dana - I don't know if staying in bed would make a difference in your temp or not. I never thought about it - I've done it myself. The monitor should help you have a better idea of what's going on, though. Good Luck!

It looks like everyone has gotten busy posting avators lately. I wanted to add more, but this is all that would fit.

Roma - we can be CB! I haven't decided which is worse...now or tww. I think this is supposed to be the exciting time because you can actually work on getting pg...the tww is kind of worse since anything you do after O will not affect your chances of getting pg. Both are bad since I thought I would have the job done by now!!

I've got to say that Dani & Roma are good luck cb's. In June our cb's were. . .Dani, Roma, me(pregnant), Kristy(pregnant), Renee(pregnant).
I wish you girls all the luck in the world & will be stalking charts & tickers.

Dana- I never thought of the W2O part as the opportunity part before. Duh, right??? But, that does help me re-focus on my goal of banishing AF!

Don't think I haven't thought about last months CB's. They all left me! All but Dani, who I think is still hanging in...

My lunar calendar said that August would be my ideal conception time, so I am praying that is correct. I just want a baby sooooo badly!

BTW- I am not going back to teaching this year. I have taught for 9 years now, and really need a break. It's so much more stressful than everyone thinks. I am working part-time at a scrapbook store in town (I LOVE to scrapbook) and get a 25% discount there and at Michael's, so I am at least bringing in SOME money. DH does pretty well, so I lucked out!

Here's to May babies!!!!

Dana- You lush!!! Your temp went up cause you were drinking. Drinking will affect your temp so be sure to mark that on your chart so you can have it as reference.

Kelly - I love the avatars & blinkies. It makes this place very festive.

I think every week there should be at least 4 people testing. If there is a 20% chance that means at least one per week!

__________________

Roma~ I don't blame you for not going back to teaching. It is very stressful, much more so than people probably realize. How do you find your lunar calendar? How can I find out when my ideal time is?

AF was supposed to come this morning, but she didn't show. If I don't start by Thursday, I am testing again. I am sure I am not pg, since my temp has dropped, but JUST in case????

__________________

Lauren - your temps still look great to me!

__________________

Kelly~ I thought that since they dropped 2 days in a row, and have now leveled off, that wasn't a good sign. I tested on 11dpo and 13dpo, and it was a bfn both times. I don't know what is going on with me. It is very frustrating.

__________________

Lauren - I usually don't start to panic until it drops under coverline. Your temps look good to me too. I think you should test again. Anyone second that motion??

__________________

Yup! I second that motion! Your temps are still well above the coverline. How many tests do you have left?

__________________

That is a crazy blinkie Betsy! Kind of creepy...

I only have 1 test left... That is why I was going to wait until AF was 2 days late, on Thursday, and test then if she hasn't come... That would be 16 dpo...

I looked at a lot of charts on FF that had late BFPs, and it is usually because they ovulated later, which I did. I don't know what to think...

__________________

Lauren - I would wait a couple of days. I also tested negative at 13 dpo. (I O'd on CD 22) I got my BFP at 16 DPO. Now I'm just over 20 weeks

This is my chart from that month:
