As for me it's my 30th birthday and my Facebook feed is full of 3 new prengancy announcements and I am sad. I'm not even in the TWW but the endless waiting of TTC is madden g.
Hope you had a great birthday! I don't know about you, but the harder I keep trying to have a baby, the more people just magically keep popping up pregnant. I now have 2 baby showers to go to in October. I'm dreading them already.
somersault72 , I liked your post in empathy because I swear my feed is full of pregnancy and babies.
I promise if you get a BFP, you should shout it from the rooftops here, and I will be genuinely happy for you, like seriously.
Me too! It's the jarring and unexpected pregnancies (a lot of people who are open about them being accidental, which stings for me) that makes me nuts. That, and feeling like my whole friend group is obsessed with each others' babies and I have nothing to contribute from my life except work drama. Seeing announcements here is exciting!
and I'm back in the 2ww. I don't feel hopeful based on our recent test results but we had 3 mature follicles so I guess our odds are triple what they were before, so I guess that's something! the estrogen supplements are.... not pleasant.

13dpo. BFN. I had a complete meltdown at work yesterday. Even though I feel like a ticking time bomb waiting for my period to start, I vow today will be better.

So sorry somersault72. My first pregnancy, I got a BFN at 13DPO and a positive at 15. If you are temping, I'd look at whether your temps are staying up or not.
somersault72 so sorry. I hope it's just too early. Are you temping?
As for me, got my second smiley OPK today and thinking I might O tomorrow. Temp dipped a tiny bit today so maybe that was it. Hoping temps the next couple of days help to pinpoint timing.

compassrose, seeyalater52 I did not temp this month. I was worried it would cause me to obsess more than I already do. That's a big reason I decided to do the trigger shot because opks are a mindfuck for me. Maybe temping would make me calmer though.

That's a great sign seeyoulater52!!
I hear that! Temping makes me incredibly anxious. The OPKs are also a total mindfuck, I agree. When I'm doing one or both it feels all-encompassing. I'm glad the trigger shot helps you to be able to back away from the crazy a bit!
My RE is really not into the charting and stuff, she basically told me to do the OPKs and leave it alone. I can't let it go, though. I'm weirdly paranoid that I'm not ovulating even though I'm picking up hormones on the OPK. It helps to see the shift (or, in my current case, makes me crazy worrying it's not shifting enough or in the right ways... so clearly a very mixed bag.)
My spotting is getting heavier, so now I'm not sure if I should call my doctor or wait it out a bit longer to see if the spotting turns into AF. I don't know what to think anymore.

Is it red? Do you co cervical checks?
Nothing red, just dark spotting so far. There's more today than the past few days, but I'm still only seeing it when I wipe. I don't need a liner or a pad yet. Also, I don't do cervical checks.
This is the best looking chart I have ever had. My temp is still up at 11 DPO, but it usually doesn't start to go down until day 12 or 13. 11 and 12 DPO are my least favorite days because I hope like crazy. I need a hug.

RITS, that's really promising, actually! Sometimes the cheapies pick it up first. 11DPO is still really early-- I'd hold off on the FRER until 13DPO maybe. See if you get a line on the cheapie tomorrow. And post a pick of your line from the cheapie today (or tomorrow)! We will tell you if we see it, too!
compassrose I don't even think the cheapie had a line. I think I just have a bad case of line eyes. I could only see the "shadow" from certain angles with my iPhone light and even now it looks stark white.
I think I read online that frer can detect as low as 6miu (unofficially) so not feeling very optimistic.
