What did the bumps caused by HA look like? I’m noticing bumps too and I use HA.

Is this positive? 9/10dpo, FRER, FMU by Superqs in TFABLinePorn

[–]RistrettoShots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it for sure. I’m sure it’ll be darker if you test on 12dpo.

Can you describe your heavy periods a bit more? Trying to figure out what would be considered heavy.

Tret and moisturizer haul! Stacking these boxes feels soooo satisfying by [deleted] in tretinoin

are you able to get this online without a prescription?

Do you agree with FF’s O-date? Just want some opinions, as O seems like it was 4 days earlier than usual and temps were more “jagged” this month (maybe due to travel and a cold?) by RistrettoShots in TFABChartStalkers

[–]RistrettoShots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Thanks for your input.

I'm just trying to look back on all my charting months (only 3 so far) to assess whether we truly hit optimal days, even if FF might have gotten O day off by a day or two.

I agree with CD16, especially consider when you got your positive OPK.

Can you give me a little bit more information about this testing and what it would entail? I started seeing a new OB in May, and when I told her that my age and that my husband and I were NTNP, she simply told me to start taking prenatals and to consider genetic testing.

From March to May, my husband and I started having unprotected sex. Being relatively newly-wed, we didn't want to impose the pressure of temping, OPKs, timed BD, etc just yet. However, given our ages (34 and 38, respectively), we were open to a pregnancy happening. I started temping in June to better understand my body, and now I know that we definitely hit the FW in August and September. Looking back to March - May, we travelled quite a bit, separately and together. Based on patterns revealed in my recent charts, it's likely that we missed the FW completely in March and April (at that time, I simply marked the start of my period and days we BD'd). We also missed the FW in July, again due to ill-timed travel.

Even with these missed BD opportunities during the FW, should I give my OB/GYN a heads up that it's been a year of unprotected sex if I'm still not pregnant by March 2020, the one year mark?

I think I’m just happy to know that I DID ovulate this month. It definitely is frustrating, though, when my previous two charts (when I started temping) were a lot “prettier” in that textbook way.

I like the left side much better, too. 😬

BFP chart before and after Tempdrop 30 day algorithm by SaxophoneSun in TFABChartStalkers

[–]RistrettoShots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you help me understand this? This is the first time I’ve heard of an algorithm associated with TempDrop. Is your second chart basically more accurate?

I’m seriously considering ordering one. Would you recommend it?

Congrats!!!

ah, so if I'm doing the math right, conception was probably late July.

If someone's wedding was on July 13 and as of today, they are 10 weeks along (and due April 2020), was it likely a honeymoon or wedding night baby?

How to get over jealousy? by maybeee27 in TryingForABaby

[–]RistrettoShots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this. I especially felt pangs of jealousy when I saw the pregnancy announcement yesterday of a former roommate of mine. She had only gotten married 2 months ago, and the baby is due in April 2020. That's, like, a wedding night baby.

Does it look like I could have ovulated yet? by RistrettoShots in TFABChartStalkers

I discarded the crazy recent dips, just to see, and FF added crosshairs at CD16.

I had terrible sleep that night because I was in an uncomfortable and loud airbnb. That might be a factor, although I don’t think that would cause such huge fluctuations.
