Chart nerdiness

[judecorp]

I am having a hard time not getting prematurely excited about this:

I know that testing too early sets me up for the possibility of false negatives, but I am going stir crazy. If my temp is in the 98s tomorrow, I am totally going for it.

p.s. I love charts. And math.

I would give it a yes, if you have similar luteal phases to me, by day 9 i would've been starting on the downswing. I was pretty sure I was pregnant with Maylie by day 9. Didn't get a positive until day 14 though. That's why charting's awesome but nearly impossible once you have a kid ro two. ;-)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

My luteal phase is 14-15 days, and I don't start dropping until the very end. I'm typically a "slow riser" or whatever but it doesn't usually go up in stair steps like that. (Then again, we HAVE had crazy weather.)

Crap. I hate to be the one that tells you this... But you did an HSG trigger shot didn't you? Worse than a false negative, you may get a false positive.... The prego test look at the same hormone that's in the trigger shots...So you may have to wait.

If I test tomorrow I will be 11.5 days past hCG trigger with Ovidrel. And I don't know anyone who's had Ovidrel last that long. Last 2 times I used Ovidrel I got stark-white BFNs at 10dpo.

But yeah, if anything pops up I will sure to not be prematurely excited.

i commented at flickr, but wanted to say that i heart your chart. waiting, waiting, waiting......

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I HATE WAITING!

I had a "possibly triphasic" chart once that came up BFN. So I am trying not to get my hopes up. (It is not working.)

[misskerri.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Popped over here from Patti's journal, and I gotta say:

That chart kinda looks tri-phasic, don't it?

(wink :) )

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It sure is getting there, innit?

(Trying not to think about it. Or about the fact that my cervix was way up there totally hiding this morning...)

I don't understand a lot of the Frankenbaby stuff, but a chart I can get the gist of and from the looks of it, I think I get why it's hard not to get prematurely excited about this. I'll include a special something for y'all in my prayers tonight. (((hugs)))

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the prayers, we appreciate them. If you and Lana ever decide to partake in this crazy business, I have a number of good books to read.

[indigodove.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed for ya, and I've been praying for you. :-) I hope this is it!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!

Do it! I say test - and remember the cheapo tests sometimes don't show a + early like I discovered so you might need to fork out for an expensive one. That definitely looks tripastic to me - did FF pick it up?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I didn't do it this morning... I'm thinking tomorrow though. And I will use $trees for a couple of days and then bring out a Big Gun if I have to. Have you had luck with FRERs? I've heard both good and bad on them.

FF hasn't given me triphasic yet - I think the first little rise was too early (and pretty typicalish for me) but if I get another high temp tomorrow it will probably catch it this time around. :)

To quote a book title, "Everything Looks Impressive".

Can't. Wait. Am. Dying.

[violane.livejournal.com]

Oops. You got my hopes up too!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I could NOT fall asleep this morning after I temped. I was so ramped up. This is going to KILL MEEEEEE.

[colorbars.livejournal.com]

This is probably a stupid question but, are the thermometers really sensitive and accurate enough to decern differences between 1/10 of a degree?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Basal body temperature thermometers are ultra sensitive and only register in a certain range (something like 95-100)... mine measures to 1/100 of a degree.

It's quite accurate.

[sudrin.livejournal.com]

Now come on.. even you have to admit, that chart is.. SCI FI!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes! I know! I was a total slacker and never got around to charging my camera to take that "SCI FI" picture that you asked for... but what I was GOING to take a picture of was a bunch of charts with all of the pills and injectible medications I've been taking, plus my cool sci-fi thermometer.

[sassywoman.livejournal.com]

Looks very promising! Just to let you know, I got the FAINTEST line at 13DPO with this baby. I know you're so ready to test... just don't give up if, you know...
I'm praying so much for you and thinking of you every day!!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, I held out today but I don't know how skilled I will be tomorrow!!

[tea-soaked.livejournal.com]

Looking very triphasic!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I had a possibly triphasic chart once before that ended up a BFN, so I am trying not to get my hopes up. (I am not very successful, though, I am VERY hopeful.)

I am scared to test and get a BFN and be shattered.

[skatured.livejournal.com]

Good for you for not doing it! Wait until Friday...make it a holiday (and when you get the test, make sure you get some consolatory donuts/bagels too -- to help you two get through to the morning, and fortify your patience for when it does register a postive on day 14. ;)

Rooting for ya!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I can't make Friday a holiday because I will be working! I don't think Jen is working but I have to be at the office at 8:15am! (That reminds me, I have to go in early tomorrow, too.) I don't know if I can wait until Friday but I am going to try like heck. :)

I have a beta on 14dpo. Here's hoping I have a BFP before then!

[bingothemonkey.livejournal.com]

When (not if) you get your positive, I am going to get up and do the stupidest happy dance of all time. I am SO rooting for you two! *Fingers crossed*

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'll be doing a majorly happy dance, too. We could do it together!

[afullmoon.livejournal.com]

I am thinking of you. I told you once you got into it you would start talking about your CM and location of your cervix with anyone who would listen. Good luck. I didn't get a postive until day 14 and I tested from day 11.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Did you test every day? My first cycle, I tested every day from 10-13 (beta on 14) and it was SO disheartening.

I never knew why people were scared to test. Now I am one of those people. I don't know if I could hold out hope with some BFNs. I just want it to work, dang it.

p.s. Your daughter really is gorgeous.
