Lots of

for you Tish!!! I will miss coming on here and seeing what has been going on these next couple days

It prob is good too that your boobs are sore as well, since that is a common preg symptom. Mine are normal...just feel crampy here and there and feel blah before and after eating.

Mmm! Boobs are sore again today, but still no sign of ovulation according to my temps on FF. Got my 11th HIGH on the CBFM too, so still holding my breath. It's asking for more test sticks now, so unlike last month where I only needed 10, it looks as though I will use 20 this time. Just a longer cycle I guess and no doubt ovulation is delayed due to other influences.

I just wanted to pop in and see how you were doing. Is it normal to get 11 High readings? I'm delaying using my CBFM because I'm taking a TTC break. At least with the continuing of testing you'll know if the hormone levels alter anyway. Do you usually get sore BB's during O time? I think I get small pains in my side, but thats not always the case. I can't really remember if the BB's get sore or not. but if you know your body then trust it.

I know that last cycle for me I got a really late positive OPK which threw me off completely, I didn't add it to FF because it took my cross hairs away! So I'm still using Opk's because I want to see if it happens again this month...

Best of luck sugar!

Just wanted to stop by and give you a little sprinkle

It's so great to get such encouragement and words of endearment and I thank you all so much.

Well, I got my twelfth HIGH today and am wondering if I will in fact ovulate this month. Have checked other charts on the FF website and see that on occasion people have actually got all HIGH readings and been successful in conceiving, so you just never know. However, I need my temps to rise to confirm my luteal phase, so I'm watching out for that now.

I finish my antibiotics tomorrow and have no more signs of my UTI. That was a proper pain I can tell you.

No idea about the sore boobs thing being a sign of ovulation, but not getting hung up on it really or reading too much into it.

Here's a bit of

for anyone who drops in for a read. And a little

too, just for good measure.

Just thought I would tell you (and hope Avistar is reading too) that my friend who had insanely irregular cycles would usually get all highs on her cbfm (she was also on clomid) and she is currently healthy and pregnant. She said the month she got pregnant she only BD three times and it was after she had already received 3 high readings. Timing was still perfect! Goodluck ladies.

Well, here's the thing. I have got 14 HIGH readings now in a row from the first day of testing CD6 and no sign of a PEAK. I don't believe I will get a peak now.

Luckily I have been completed my chart on FF and monitoring all the other signs and symptoms without fail. As a result, I have just started to see a shift in my temps and have my fingers crossed for the 3rd slightly risen temp tomorrow. That makes tomorrow D-day. If it shows another higher reading, then my ovulation will have been detected as day 17 and ... here's the best bit, we BD on CD16 in the morning. That means we have a chance of conceiving as we at least got one day of timing right. It would have been nice to see a PEAK, then we could have BD on CD17 too, but I won't panic about that.

I think it is highly likely and I know it is possible to have missed the PEAK altogether. After all with the monitor you only test once a day with FMU and if you PEAK within 12 hours of producing LH, then you miss the chance to catch it with the following day's monitor test. I reckon that's what's happened.

I don't care really, as long as we are in with a chance. It feels like a waste of sticks now though, but it could be worth the investment for this month to see what I get for the whole 20 days that the monitor is asking for.

I'll keep you posted. I'm quite excited and a little nervous now about taking my temp tomorrow morning.
