Nope.

This morning we got the "Not Pregnant" on the ClearBlue digital test. (I so didn't want to be fantasizing a second line). We weren't surprised, but we weren't totally sure if it was in the 87% accurate bracket or the 55% accurate bracket.

Tonight I started spotting and I am fairly certain I will be all red tomorrow. We are a tad disappointed but we really didn't expect it to work our first time. That would just be too easy.

However, I am wondering if our timing was off....my luteal phase is typically 14 days, and if I insemmed on Nov. 10 (am and pm) doesn't that mean we were possibly too late? If so, my monitor and OPKs failed me this cycle.

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. On the bright side, looks like I can have some salty margaritas tomorrow night!

If you O date was correct, was your luteal phase 13 days instead of 14, or was it much less?

I'm sorry you got a BFN.

Yeah, I am choosing to believe that I had a 13 day luteal phase this time. On Nov. 9 I had a high monitor reading in the morning, then a peak in the afternoon. Monitor gave us a peak on Nov. 10. We waited and insem'd Nov. 10 in the morning and the evening.

I thought our timing was good, but perhaps something else went awry or the sperm swam in circles.

Yeah, the luteal phase length should be pretty much the same from cycle to cycle, but 1 day's difference, I wouldn't worry about.

Even if your timing is good, there's so much involved in getting pg that we can't control. It's not an exact science... at all. So, I'd assume your timing was good, but this just wasn't the one for you guys. I'm sorry.
