Ok, so I am on CD 22 today and of course POAS yesterday (WAY too early)and BFN...but I DID have some brown spotting and cramps on Sat...implantation maybe? Anyone else experience that? I read somewhere that you shouldn't test until at least 4 days after implantation, because the hormone won't show up until then.
Also, I want to add a picture of DH and I on here--how do I do that?

Do you know when you O'd? If you have a normal 28 day cycle and O'd and CD14, then you could very well have implantation on CD22, which would be 8dpo. I had one really sharp cramp (enough to make me double over in pain) at 9dpo, so I assume that was implantation. I never had any spotting, but I've heard that brownish spotting can be a sign of implantation. Good luck! Here's some baby dust for you...

As far as loading your pic, scroll through the message boards until you find something that talks about technical questions or signature graphics or something like that. I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly what it's called but it's near the bottom of the message boards in the scroll-down bar at the bottom of the page.

I just found it...there's a thread under Signature Fun / Q&A/Signature Testing that tells you how to add photos to your signature. It's near the bottom in the Forum Jump scroll-down bar at the bottom of each page. Hope that helps!

Hey, thanks for the information!! Here's another thing: I had some EWCM today, on day 22!! Surely that doesn't mean I'm ovulating NOW, does it? I don't know when I o'd so I've just kind of been assuming it was when most people do on clomid. Can you get that CM AFTER O?

__________________

Hey! I had the same thing but on CD23... hopefully it was implantation!! Lots of babydust to you... maybe both of us can get a BFP this month! When are you going to POAS again?

what a beautiful wedding pic!

best of luck to you 2 girls! i hope you get your bfp's soon!

sarah im a big fan of charting especially while i was on clomid. if lets you know when you ovulated and shows you how long your luteal phase is.

you just simply get a bbt themonitor and take you temp every morning (before getting out of bed, eating, taking a drink or running to go potty) at the same time. then you go to the wonderful site called fertilityfriend.com and puts your temps on there. the site is totally free. and the best part is that you can put a link in your siggy for us all to obsess over your chart with you!

but i hope you get your bfp in the next few days instead!

Yes!
Let us obsess!!! lol
What would we do without charting and temping?! I saved my pgncy chart forever on my comp, lol...
now i am not temping of course, so I need OTHER peoples charts to obsess over.

Now, temping is the only way to determine for sure that you DID indeed ovulate. Even taking clomid does not guarantee ovulation, so it is a good idea to temp. When you see the definite temp jump, you will know ovulation occurred, and you will be able to see if your luteal phase is long enough to allow for pregnancy.

I wasnt on Clomid, but altho every month i o'd on cycle day 14-16, once in awhile i would o on cycle day 19 or 21....

I think also that when dealing with fertility issues, charting is best as it allows the fertility doctor, and yourself to really find out what is going on with your body.

I think I've read that CM usually dries up after ovulation, but I don't know for sure. I didn't chart my CM very well the first month we were ttc, but I did notice in the second month that I had gobs of EWCM (it was greenish in color...sorri if tmi) and got my a few days later. So, hopefully the EXCM is a good sign!

Oh test and post pics!! I need something to obsess over, since I can't see charts in sigs (dial up connection, sigs turned off).

As for the EWCM...I had lots and lots after implantation. Enough to have me running for the washroom with a tampon in hand only to find nothing.

Hey Khristian--sorry AF showed!!! What is your "plan b"? Are you taking any fertility drugs or anything? I saw you're a nurse? My hubby is getting ready to start nursing school in the fall. He wants to be a CRNA eventually.

So girls, I am terrible and tested today...probably still way too early, but you know how it goes! Of course it was BFN. I really should not test again until MONDAY.

My brother is in the National Guard and is on leave from his time in Afghanistan, and my HOPE is to be able to tell him he's going to be an uncle before he goes back in a couple weeks. (He won't be back in the U.S. until January-March). I just think that would be so fun. So pray for that for me!

Well, I'm a teacher and teachers go back to school today, so I won't be able to obsess on these message boards until tonight! Have a great day everyone!

Its okay... just keep tryin! Yeah Im gonna talk with him about some fertility drugs options. Yes Im a nurse. I work in Labor and Delivery... its very interesting! Tons of baby dust to you!!

Khristian~ Sorry about af showing up Disappointing I know. I try to feel positive though knowing that I still have so many options and things to try.

I tested today, BFN. I'm already on cd27 and 11dpo. Still think there's any chance of a positive this month? I usually have 28-30 day cycles. Not sure if all hope is lost at this point or not.
