Today I am 9 DPO and I feel nothing pregnancy wise. I took my temp this morning just to make sure it was high and it was! I'm trying not to think too much about the tww. Holly has been doing a great job with keeping my mind preoccupied. 
Here we are on the next cycle. Last cycle's timing was way off so I'm not really surprised that it didn't workout.
For this cycle, I am due to ovulate on valentine's day weekend. We already have the hotel booked for the event and the donor is on call. I'm hoping this is the one...
It's 7:30 am and I'm ready to start my day. My temp this morning was high because the hotel heater was running nonstop. I'm still going to record it on my chart though. My ovulation test this morning was still negative but I did receive a ferning pattern on the saliva scope. So it seems that even though everything else is pointing to no... I have one thing telling me that we are still moving in the right direction.
JDonor will be here around 9 am. Before that time I would like to get a shower, get some breakfast and relax a little.
We're going to use the instead cup for this attempt. I'm thinking that will be good to keep the swimmers in place all day while I'm riding the roller coasters at Busch Gardens.
It's going to be a good day and an even better cycle.
3 DPO today and my temp is still really high (probably progesterone related).
This cycle I took a baby asprin from CD6 forward. After ovulation occured, I started progesterone cream - applying every morning after the shower.
Our timing this cycle was pretty good. I ovulated on CD17 and we insemed on CD 14, 15, & 17 with fresh.
Our test day is 3/1.
6 DPO and I have been bloated all day. I'm also very gassy and keep burping. lol
This could be pregnancy related or just how my body is functioning at the moment. I'll know for sure really soon!
I'm also going to say that I have had an intuition that this cycle is the one ever since the beginning of my cycle.
Another failed cycle. Onto the next...
We are taking a few months off to regroup. Starting back in May.
Can you keep a secret? We are not really on a break. In fact, we still tried this month.
Everyone always tells us, when you stop trying, that's when it will happen. Well, being lesbians, that isn't possible for us. So in our attempt to stop trying I made a note that we are on a break. During this 'break' I took my temp maybe 3 times, I didn't pee on sticks, I didn't bother with the charts, and I stopped taking my normal cycle pills (prenatal and baby asprin). I just didn't think about it - actually. This removed the stress of telling everyone where we are in our cycle, how it's going, when we're going to insem... etc. I didn't realize that part of ttc was stressful until I didn't have to do it.
Then the weirdest thing happened - I ovulated 3 days earlier than normal! I noticed tons of CM while at work one day and decided to POAS right away - sure enough, it was positive!
I called our donor and because my ovulation fell on a friday, we booked a hotel room. We met with our donor that night and again the next day.
I'm treating the tww just as I did the beginning of my cycle with the exception of a prenatal vitamin (I started taking that everyday). I'm not even charting my temps - I stopped doing this after my third temp which was before I ovulated. I'm just taking it easy and trying my best to forget about it. Anytime a pregnancy thought enters my mind - I will push it out and think of something else. Like a constant meditation - breathe in, breathe out.
I'm not sure when my period is due to start but I think I'll be safe to test sometime around the 27th. I think I'm about 5 dpo today. We'll see if this works.
I will be sure to keep your secret. LOL I really hope this month is your month and that you are able to remain stress free during the whole TWW. I will be watching for your BFP by the end of the month.
Love IT! Good LUCK!
Thanks ladies! I was wondering who read this thing besides me. lol
We are rooting for you too!! Fingers are crossed!:D
Good luck to you! March 27th is a lucky day to test, it's my birthday!

I am so glad that you two still tried! Wow what a sneaky move! LOL . I really hope its your month. I didnt think about it this cycle and wham when I least expected it.......BFP........ You never know. I will be sending you baby vibes!
I am sure hoping for you. I stopped most of the charting too and just did testing for LH. I am relieved that I got a smiley and plan AI tonight. It sure does take a lot of the stress off. Take Care and I'll be watching for your BFP around the 27th!
Thank you ladies!
I have no clue how far into my tww I am. I find myself noticing a few things here and there but I've been trying to block them out and move on with my day. That's getting harder to do every day.
Yesterday I woke up nauseous - so much to the point I was dry heaving then later got sick. I stayed home because of it. I just kept thinking to myself, "It's probably a stomach bug because it's too early for it to be pregnancy related."
My boobs have been really sore but they usually are before my period arrives so I can't really rely on that to indicate pregnancy. Also my libido is really high. Which is strange because usually in my tww I'm ok without sex (unfortunately for Holly). But now I'm all about it.
I guess that's the only thing that's different then the other cycles - high libido. I'm not complaining.
I broke down and took a test this morning only to see that it was negative. Like I said, I'm not sure what day I'm at in the tww - maybe 9DPO or 10? Either way would be too early to test. Not sure why I wanted to test - maybe it was a way to give myself a reality check.
The whole not knowing is hard but it's also a blessing. Being the control freak I am, I want to have control over this - but after going through this for a year and a half, I realize there is no way to control my outcome. All I can do is wait and hope for the best.
sounds promicing. Hang in there!
Thanks old mama!
It's amazing to me how your symptoms can disappear overnight! The only thing new and that lingers today is that I'm an emotional wreck. In fact, I did the 'ugly cry' at my desk all because of a comment someone made to me.
But that could be PMS related. 
I think I'm suppose to start my period today but I don't feel like she's coming. No cramps, no headaches, no gas.... Today I'm either 12 or 13 days past ovulation - we'll see what the rest of the day brings. I may test tomorrow or sunday. I haven't decided yet.
Another no....
We will be off the forum for a while. It's time that we take a break from it all and find ourselves again. This will be the last post in my train of hope.
You guys are in my thoughts! Sending you lots of whatever you need. take care of each other! And don't be a stranger on facebook.
Golf Clubs Review
You could give your special someone a golf gift such as the discount golf to support their hobby. For someone that has not played a PING iron in quite a while, setting up to the G15s can be quite a shock to the system. Literally, no matter what angle you look at the club, the wide sole was unavoidable. If you buy your taylor made r9 irons following my tips, you can save a lot of money. For some players this is like seeing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. ishiner
