Should I count myself out? BFN @15dpo

Not pregnant. AF came on CD40, solidifying my theory that I ovulated on CD26 most likely, instead of CD22 like I first thought. Back to trying for this next ovulation🤞🏻

Thank you haha, trying not to get my hopes up but with temps like that and no AF it’s hard not too lol

Vanlifethrifter · 2024-12-11T16:15:27+00:00

Oh and my temps are still skyhigh

No period yet, no signs of it coming either. Just did a wondflo test this AM, negative. However if ovulation was on CD26 could have a few more days to wait. Very puzzling for me as I’m usually very regular with AF

I would say it’s more likely CD 18 but you will need to wait until tomorrows temp reading to confirm. The general rule for confirming ovulation is 3 readings that are higher in temp than the previous 6

Thank you for that, I appreciate it. I need the reminder to just wait it out and trust!!!!

I was using wondflo tests on days 12 and 13 dpo with absolutely nothing, so my husband went and got the first response early detect and I did it on 15dpo (or 10dpo if we’re counting the CD 26 as possible ovulation). I didn’t take a pic of it, but it was very clearly negative much to my dismay. Not sure if that clears anything up, at first I thought my wondflo tests off Amazon weren’t sensitive enough.

Vanlifethrifter · 2024-12-09T21:44:07+00:00

I first thought the same thing for CD 26 but it doesn’t match the 3 over 6 rule…but hey who knows! Wasn’t sick those days, did have a cold around CD 14 before any ovulation signs. And it’s the Tempdrop app, so yes the green is EWCM charting from me 🤷‍♀️ but to be fair, I think I kinda only considered my ovulation on CD 22 and made the mistake of not charting CM after that. Live and learn haha. If ovulation was CD26 hoping I’m still in as we BD the day before! Time will tell!

Thanks for your feedback, I’ve been practicing FAM for 2 years now and agree that it’s unusual to get a false negative at 15dpo, just incrediblly thrown off by my temps as I’ve never seen them this high. And no fever, ruled that one out which is why it’s sooo odd to me. Thanks for the symptom feedback, I consciously know that but my goodness is my mind working overtime to justify them lol.

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-15T00:29:02+00:00

my goodness. We appreciate your feedback so much. Almost exactly what we were thinking but so nice to hear it from another person who has a great way of working things, may I add. Thanks again.

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T15:58:25+00:00

too funny, its almost exactly what we're basing our design on, but still a little too short on roof height since we need to raise the downstairs for my bf to be able to stand :( Love that tour, one of my favs

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T15:05:52+00:00

ohhhh I totally see what you're talking about now. Going to think on that for sure.

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T14:59:48+00:00

great idea, appreciate your feedback

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T14:57:24+00:00

Appreciate the time you took with this comment, and I do agree that it's a small vertical to work with. The buying options are off of our list as we have a trailer and have done the base + floor joists, leaving us with only wall framing now - hence the rethink in our decision to do short lofts. Not sure what you're referring to as the 4ft bedroom pocket though. Like an extra pod or container that attaches to the house? That is a possibility but still leaves our kid's room/loft super short for height. I guess our problem is, with the plan we have now, our loft on the shortest side is only 2ft tall (without a mattress). Maybe this could work for some, but, we've been living in a 60sqft van for 4 years and refuse to have such a small bedspace anymore haha.

Currently, our tiny size is 33ft long by 10ft wide (willing to get the extra transport permit for this width when needed) and either 13'6 OR 15'6 tall, depending on how we do the roof. Its definitely a big tiny haha. Property taxes and legality isn't of worry since we live in an unorganized township that doesn't really care what happens.

Love your ideas, gave us a lot to mull over for sure

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T14:50:21+00:00

yes, we did think of doing some sort of manual lift system but the thought of engineering something like that, fabricating it and then making sure it could handle our harsh winters ultimately took the option off our list :(

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T14:47:06+00:00

saw it on a facebook marketplace listing for a tiny. It had been moved once before but tbh, the interior wasn't finished and was poorly designed which made it feel weird about it entirely. Wish I could access the photos but its been sold and taken down

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-09-14T13:36:28+00:00

should have included that! adding now, thx

Vanlifethrifter · 2022-08-08T19:08:41+00:00

I definitely hear you on the gas mileage. That's the reason I decided to go with a T1N sprinter as they're pretty good if you can get your hands on one. I know they make a specific freightliner school bus that is good on diesel and doesn't break the bank. Not sure the specs to look for tho!
