Sept 2WW

[Boysboys]

Btw, I have used this app for years. Just started temping last month but I'm getting ff this month. ������

[twointow83]

Now I'm wondering if I have a bad batch. I use the green ones until the second line starts to darken (I've used them for years and they always go right along with my digital) well the line is much lighter than my wondfo test and CB Digital. So either I've missed it and coming down off my surge or it a pre O dip. Ugh!! I knew I should've listened to my husband!!!!!!

Lol. What did DH say? When were these taken??

[Pbn3]

boysboys none of those tests look an absolute positive to me so please stop beating yourself up!:) If you haven't had an attempt them have one tonight or wait and test this afternoon and see what your opk looks like then. I'm sorry I have no idea what time it is where you are its 9pm here so I'm assuming if you just posted chart its morning where you are :)

[Boysboys]

6 in the morning. Those test were just taken two. He told me "I think you're missing it". He's been wanting to jump me all weekend and I've been threatening him with his life!

[Boysboys]

I haven't had much CM at all???

[Boysboys]

But I was pretty crampy yesterday. :( and not this morning.

[Pbn3]

Can you take a test about 2pm and see how it looks? if it's alot darker then go for it tonight?

[twointow83]

LOL!! Sounds like my hubby! He has been given free reign this cycle and he's like a kid that's never had candy, in a candy store lol...

Then I agree with Pbn! They are very close to being positive, but aren't just yet. So, you can er on the side of caution and BD now or wait and see what your test looks like tonight :fingers:

[Boysboys]

I'm a teacher so I won't be peeing on a stick until ab 3:30 pm when I get home!lol I think we will dtd tonight. I'm so mad at myself for not double checking with another brand! These haven't let me down before so I guess I can't beat myself up too badly. I'm just PRAYING the darker lines weren't the surge coming down. I always get two days of positive (possibly 3) and then the lighten to about like you see in the pic and then the next it's gone. SURELY I wouldn't have missed that many days. i hate this mess!!!

[Boysboys]

Thank goodness for yall though. I don't know who I would've panicked to. I looked like a cry baby boohooing in the shower. LOL!

[Atsaukina1]

Well I guess I am moving on to cycle 6 :( Getting a little discouraged but will keep on trying. Now the wait is on to O, which could be anywhere between CD14-20. Guess I will need to order more supplies.

I have a bunch of opk tests. Shoot me your addy and their yours. I live in VA so not too far to mail.

[TaytumJ]

Just wanted to pop in and say I'll still be checking in on all of you, even if I don't post as much at the moment! My ob office called today to say my hcg went from a 24 to a little over 100 in 48 hours, so the little bean is growing! Just hoping he/she keeps going strong! :)

But I'm still stalking and hoping everyone catches their egg - we need a strong September!

[Boysboys]

Praise the Lord!!!! So happy for you taytum!!

[Jelliebellie83]

Aaagh, I was getting too obsessed with symptom spotting and had to take a time out. Part of me just wants that motherwitch AF to show up so I can get it over with. This is my first 2ww and I think btwn this and waiting to O... well right now, I'm hating this part the most!!! [emoji35]

That is so much easier to read. Thank you! I I am unable to help you right this second but as soon as I get home I will give you step by step instructions. I will attempt to also give you instructions now but it will be blind so not sure how accurate it will be. Go to fertility friend on PC. I believe it is the share or community or something like that tab and you will click and a dropdown menu will appear it will give you several options one of which should say something about getting a link. Click that. Then a new screen will open and it should give you multiple options for links. One will just be a standard link. There will be another that will say thumbnail and that is the one that will put a little miniature picture of your chart in your signature like several of us have. The link will put something like PBN has in her signature and it will just say my chart or view my chart and link to your homepage. Choose which you want and copy and paste into the signature settings on this site. Hope that helps. Also forgive any typos or incorrect words, I am using the microphone setting on my phone and driving so I'm not 100% sure what is actually going into this message as I need to focus on the road and not my phone.

Lol, that must've been my pre-AF PMS rage talking! I've been super sassy this week and snapping at poor Mr JB. I need to eat a Twix bar or have some Fruity Pebbles.

Yay, Taytum! So thrilled for you and wishing you a super H&H pregnancy!

Everyone else in the POAS or soon to POAS club, I'll be watching you and sending good sticky bean juju vibes your way. I'm too scared to POAS at 10dpo (that's what FF is telling me at least) so I'm just not going to do it. I've got an FF chart and tried to fill in it for last month, started temping, ordered some wondfo OPKs and need to pick up some CB OPKs for confirmation tinkles next cycle [emoji6]

Ladies waiting to O, hope those eggs get pumping soon and they're super extra fertile [emoji120]

Yup, but don't know if it was a pre-O dip or a pre-pre-O dip :giggle: Based on OPK I should have O'd CD 15 (day after dip), and my temp did go up a smidge but not enough to call it O. Also, I still had EW CM. So, based on temp and CM O day was CD 16 which was 2 days after the dip. And based on OPK and CP, O was CD 15. I had O pains, mostly on left side on CD 14, and O pains on both sides CD 15, and they were gone by CD 16 :shrug:

Good news guys! I've now had 8 days of insanely dark positive OPKs. Lol next month I am 100% buying the clear blue digitals

The CB digitals work for me, though I did feel the urge to punch the flashing smiley in the face after seeing him for 8 days straight. I'm thinking next cycle, I'll do cheapies and then switch to the CBs when the line starts getting dark enough. The CBs are great IMO, but so expensive. Ragh.

It was negative on the different test. Thank goodness. I usually use a brand from Walmart but this month I bought ones at target and apparently they are faulty. Ugh. Who knows when actually ovulated.

No, we bd every 10 days as per Atomic. We had our attempt on the second positive day.... So I'm pretty sure this month is a wash. I'm not too upset tho because I really want to be tight w my diet this month. I slacked last month and even gained 2 pounds.

What brand of opks are you using? I was like that with the Wondfo brand (was having 5+ days of positives). I think they were just way too sensitive. So were the CB digital opks. I switched to the Babi brand of opks and they've been great. Now I only get 2 days of positives. With me, it seems like my true positive is not until my test line is DARKER than the control, not equal. With the Babi brand I usually get 1 day of equal lines, then 1 day with the test line darker than the control, then it goes negative and I O the day of the negative.

My first month back to ttc was horrible. Last month wasn't as bad but I forgot how horrible symptom spotting is!! I don't mind waiting to O because I can make sure I'm doing all the sway components and I feel productive. The 2ww is just waiting...forever!

Sorry to hear this. I always spend cd 1 (and sometimes 2) doing all the things I deprive myself of the rest of the month. I'm cd 2 today so I'm trying to get my confidence back. I can no longer test early. Believe it or not but I'd rather see af than a negative test. It's too heartbreaking for me and then I still convince myself I'm pregnant!

Hmm I usually use the advanced method but leading up to O I was checking out research just for curiousity... Bit unsure now as I just went and checked FAM and it takes away my crosshairs lol my temps are a bit lower, think I will BD again tonight just to be sure lol

I've been charting this month but I haven't had a spike at all and I never once tested at the same time. This next cycle I plan on setting a timer to temp.
What exact OPKs should I buy this time? I want the most accurate that I won't get a million positives. These Wondfo type I've been using are apparently super sensitive.

Pbn- I'm glad you finally have an answer but I'm really really hoping next month is your month :(

Well, this is why I don't test early! Did an internet cheapie this morning and could swear I saw the faintest line that ever existed. But then again, sometimes I didn't. Swore it was line eyes, but when I compared the test to my old stark white negatives, there was definitely something there. It didn't seem pink though, more of a shadow.
Faulty test or really early BFP who knows.
Still no AF, symptoms still here, if not worse!
Will keep you all updated.

FX for all of you!

[twointow83]

Thank you for the welcome, ladies :)

Congrats, taytum!

netti, I hope you caught the egg!

boys, I think that is definitely a pre-O dip. Get that egg! You may need to test 2x a day. I use CBE digitals (I like the pink holder, not the purple [advanced I think?] because I hate that it shows the smiley face for so many freaking days. Personally, I like to know whether the results are + or -!) I test morning and evening. This cycle, I started testing when I saw EWCM, and after a day of - tests, got +am, -pm, +am, -pm, -am, and urine wasn't diluted or anything. That doesn't usually happen to me but it's definitely possible.

pbn3, I'm sorry :(

lauren, do you have a chart link?

What settings do you all use on FF? I stick to FAM as I kind of don't trust the advanced setting. According to FAM, I'm 6dpo, but if I switch to research or advanced, FF puts me at 5dpo. I don't believe that, especially given the negative OPKs after two positives, plus the temp rise. Sitting on my hands over here. I wish I could just stop symptom spotting and get on with my life instead of obsessing, but this is where the fun is (for the first few cycles, at least). I do enjoy the anticipation but after ttc for 15mths with DS2, I definitely wasn't enjoying it anymore.

I bought some of those new FRERs with the curved handle today at CVS ($40 for 5. I have more money than sense haha) but I was just reading on FF that they are showing a lot of questionable lines. Ugh. Glad I have a digi, though.

Opinions requested: Would you start ttc the first month of a LE diet, or wait? I see in the stats that 16-20 weeks seems to have the best results. Thinking ahead to next cycle because I'm just not convinced this cycle worked at all. If it didn't, I need to decide asap if we'll ttc (and buy a plan immediately) or go ahead with saving for adoption....decisions, decisions.

It depends on the cycle.. When FF gives some asinine crosshairs based on something like OPK, completely ignoring everything else I'll either switch methods or override. For example, this cycle it started off set on FAM but then wanted to give me crosshairs before my temps shift due to OPK so I switched it to advanced.

I can only say what I did because I wasn't willing to wait to get preg in order to sway. I started swaying during my cycle which was a "healing" cycle (D&C) and not TTC, so I was swaying for a few weeks before I actually started TTC but not many. Now I have been doing a light sway since the beginning of April I believe so 4 1/2 months. That is what I figured would happen (certainly not what I hoped for but what I figured) so I really didn't want to wait to TTC. I'd be ok with another boy (don't get me wrong, I am foaming at the mouth for a little girl lol, but I'm 100% ok with a boy too) so for me waiting to TTC to better my sway just wasn't worth it for me. It's really an individual decision. If you want to look back and KNOW you did everything you could, then wait. If you'd love a girl but would be completely satisfied adding more blue to your brood, then start both and see how it plays out :)

[Boysboys]

Ok girls! We got it done!lol I'm currently lying elevated and plan to for 30 mins. I hope if I did O today my little eggy is still waiting. I tested this evening and second line was about the same. Who knows! I guess tomorrow will tell me more! I feel better getting an attempt in tonight either way.

Your chart looks pretty normal for irregular waking times! They are a bit bouncy, but that is to be expected with an inconsistent schedule and "bouncy" won't prevent you from seeing an O shift 9x out of 10... there are some extreme cases I've seen, but for the most part you'll still see an O shift. So if we ignore the OPKs, because the are obviously unreliable, there isn't 1 thing on your chart that makes me believe you O'd. I think you are still waiting. Which sucks because you are pretty deep into your cycle but given you haven't been BD'ing it's actually a REALLY good thing you haven't O'd yet because it means you didn't miss your window!! :fx: you O soon!! And if it were me, I'd burn those other OPKs! Okay, okay... maybe just toss them ;) :giggle: No matter how much they costed they aren't worth your sanity

Ladies, I have a query..... I woke up at 4am (thanks to my 19month old crying) and had to get up, so I quickly took my temp then, it was 35.8. I got back to sleep at 5am and woke up at 7am and took temp again and it was 36.6 (I had been awake for a few minutes).
Yesterday I had to take my temp at 4am too - thanks to my 19 month old..... and it was way lower than normal at 36.0.

My question - do I enter the 4am temp for today or the 7am?
I will try and attach my chart to show you....

Hi ladies- nice to meet you all. I'm a bit late to the party here but wanted to introduce myself. I have 2 little boys (18 mos and a month shy of 3) and my DH and I are trying for a girl this time around. I had my Mirena removed on the 1st and wasn't expecting to be TTC until October, but based on the very close to positive opk I took this afternoon and the fact that we dtd last night on a whim because I didn't think I could be ovulating yet--it looks like this month is actually going to be our first attempt, haha. It wouldn't be the end of the world if this is our month, we just wanted to wait a little longer if possible so I would be due in the summer and so I'd have a strong 12 weeks on LE. Both my boys were conceived on the first try and with multiple attempts, so I'm going to put DH on hands off for the rest of the week now.

I'm going to take a couple days time out and regroup. So peeved off with what I believe were faulty frers. I'm even wondering if I actually oed cd14 which would make me only 10dpo today. Just have to wait for af now in any case and this obsessing of mine has taken its toll lol :)

Quinn, wait for your 3 confirmed temps post-O and then go for it... I think you're super smart to think of that, actually!

pbn, without more cm data I'm not sure, either. Enjoy your time to regroup!

I really want a glass of wine, but 2ww :( . Kid drama is exhausting ;)

Bee i know how u feel. I bought some apple ale new thing at the shops and now im wondering if i can even drink them lol. Does anyone drink during the 2ww? I think i would be too cautious and avoid but they sure look yummy

So weird. Have been having lots of O pain today on CD5 so decided to take an opk. It's almost positive! WTH? My normal O day is CD15 and the earliest I've ever O'd is CD12 when I got pregnant with DS2. Still spotting from AF too.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that you may O sooner than usual... prob not within the next few days, as there is next to zero chance that 5 days into your cycle that your body already has a mature egg ready to pop. However, there is an LH/FSH interplay early in the cycle (this is what clomid affects by blocking estrogen receptors) that causes an egg to begin maturing for ovulation. It's possible that you are catching a glimps of that interplay.

[twointow83]

So, I did a little experiment this morning. With me ACTUALLY getting to sleep this cycle... for the first time in a LONG time (insomniac- have trouble getting and staying asleep) this temp realm is kinda new lol. So I wanted to see, with me actually getting some sleep instead of my usual of sleeping only a couple hours or so, exactly how much my temps are affected by time taken. I was a little shocked. With my usual sleep pattern, differences are negligible. This morning however, I took my temp at 4 am. I didn't get out of bed or anything. Just took my temp, put it into FF in case I forgot it and temped again before knowing what the 1st # was, and then went back to sleep. I woke up again at 6 am and was surprised to see a full 0.2 difference!! So apparently, each hour makes about a 0.1 difference. Given this info, I decided to go ahead and adjust my CD 15 temp by 0.1 because looking at my chart CD 15 just makes more sense as O day (CM dry up on CD 16 as I only check 1x a day, CP was already returning to infertile position on CD 15, I usually O 2 days after +OPK, etc.) The only thing missing was a temp shift because I woke up an hour and a half early that morning. So, I decided to go ahead with the adjustment and now FF shows solid CH on CD 15 instead of dotted ones on CD 16. I can always change it back later but it looks more right to me this way than the way it was and BONUS I am now 1 day closer to testing day :giggle:

ETA: Oh and I got another jump today, which is weird because I had A LOT of cramping yesterday BUT logically I know that there is no way implantation happened already as the egg(s) would just be hatching at this point. *sigh* This is why I hate the 1st week of the 2WW... head games. o_O

I know!! That's another reason I always end up testing early! 1 it gives me something to pass the time and 2 if you only test once then the entire cycle culminates into this one moment, and then it's over.

Got my positive this morning! I knew I haven't lost it yet!lol

I put my 5 am temp in FF. drifted back to sleep and took it again at 6:30 and it was up to 97.49. Two, should I stick to my first temp. I usually temp from 5:30-6:00 so that isn't much help??!!

KINDA wish I would've waiting until tonight for our first attempt, not gonna lie.

Btw, I know my two bottom test lines are slightly lighter but it does that every month. Then tomorrow will be bold as ever but that's when I usually O. ��

KINDA wish I would've waiting until tonight for our first attempt, not gonna lie.

As I have said a million times, it's your call BUT here is what *I* think ;) :D I would stick with the first temp and this is why:
1: you temp around that time usually anyway so there really wouldn't be a vast difference between that and your normal 5:30 range temp.
2. You went back to sleep for less than 2 hours. All related material out there says to temp after at least 3 hours... my opinion has become a bit more lax over the years due to my sleeping issues but I still won't consider a temp taken after less than 2 hours solid sleep because you don't enter REM sleep (dreaming) until around an hour and a half. REM sleep is deep, restful sleep that allows your body to relax and "chill" so to speak. Before this point your temp would be affected at varying degrees by your unconscious movements. So, REM, restful sleep is required i my book for a temp to be valid.
3. I don't know what the first temp was because you didn't say but being as you are getting ready to O, a randomly and inaccurately high temp could throw off your shift.

As far as BD, how long do you generally O after + OPK?

[Boysboys]

That's what I was thinking too, Two! I will stick with my first temp.

I usually O the day after Postive OPK. I may have another attempt tonight, which is very boy friendly ������

I get it! You get to a point were it's like, okay, enough play time lets get it done lol. I was also planning 2 attempts this cycle (E4D + 1@ pos OPK). Then it took a whole other path and ended up with 3 attempts. FX for you! Catch that egg spermies!!

Possibly.... ? Only time will tell for sure but you may want to BD asap just in case!! With your OPKs being screwy we are flying a bit blind and it's better for you to BD and not ovulate than do not BD and end up ovulating and missing your window or should I say having already ovulated possibly. It's better to ur on the side of caution.

They are the Babi brand and I like them because they are less sensitive than the Wondfo that I used to get 5+ days of positives on. My Babi brand doesn't usually look this dark till the day before my real +opk, usually CD12. I'll test again this afternoon and tonight before bed. No O pain today so far. And yes I chart/temp. It's in my signature but you have to be on the computer to see it.

The abstain is what I'm worried about too. Like I said before, we weren't expecting to try this month, and I had no libido on Mirena so we've bd maybe 6 times this year total.

I was a tiny little things with DS1 but still are pretty much whatever I wanted.

I agree with two! I think if you're in no hurry I would see what that one attempt does this month. I could never do that, but if your heart is SET on a girl I would give that a shot this month. Then next month, It will be even better to be on the diet longer if this month Fails.

[essnce629]

Oh no! Bd attempt! Only thing that scares me is last month I bd on actual O days and still didn't get preggo.

It's actually kind of hard to get pregnant from a BD on O day. That's because the egg lives at most 12-24 hours, and it takes several hours for the sperm to even reach the egg, so the egg could already be dead by the time the sperm reach it if you BD on O day. The best odds of getting pregnant are actually from BD the day before or two days before O. So sounds like you actually have a better chance this cycle!

[essnce629]

I just took another opk and it's actually lighter than yesterday's, so maybe I won't be O'ing super early afterall! I'll take another one tonight before bed. I did have more O pains today though. CD6 for me.

I at most 1-2dpo but i certainly feel it this cycle.....

UTD??

I missed a good bit while snoozing!

Two, I didn't ask my question correctly.lol when do YOU typically O after your positive OPK? :)

Netti, I hope it's your month!!

I am super twingy and crampy but not sure if it bc I'm so sore inside from dtd! �� lol I know tmi. ��

Well my temp went up. I was expecting it to drop. I usually O the day after positive OPK. This should be interesting figuring it out this month. Last month was a perfect dip and rise.

Oh, sorry :oops: With the brand I currently use 1-2 days (usually 2) after my first +OPK I'll get my shift. Why do you ask?

I think *I* got YOUR dip lol, my temp decided to jump off a bridge lol. Yay for a rise! FX it jumps again tomorrow. When I am fertile my cervix get super sensitive... esp this cycle!! BD was interesting trying to find a position that didn't hurt. Also, when DH drinks too much pop his semen kinda gaulds me, which I hate because then I am raw for a few days. I don't know if either of those are what YOU are talking about though lol.

So I definitely Od last night. I've never had O paid and it was awful. Lots of cramping.... Huge temp spike this morning.
So, from chatting this first month I have learned that after a week of positive OPK test.... A final negative test, I O about 8-10 hrs later. Crazy. We def didn't get an attempt in that would count. I'm hoping the next tests I buy give me a better heads up as to attempt.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/16/844f0a235afa421de042aaeba71c8ac3.jpg

Prob because of the OPKs. I don't remember exactly what a non-vip page looks like but you'll need a pc. Look below your chart for an area that say O day, etc. And below that there should be a link to override. Put in your O date and CL Im not replying to that message so its not showing your chart but what you do is count out your last SIX temps, find tge highest of the 6 and add 0.1 to that temp and the number you get is your CL.

Lauren I wouldn't override FF yet. I bet it will correct itself and move your cross hairs after 2 more days of high temps. If not, you can switch to FAM mode instead of Advanced mode which will go by your temps only. But wait a few days. Technically, going by temps only, you need 3 high temps that are higher than the previous 6 to get cross hairs. You don't have that yet.

Lauren, I think your CH will move after a few high temps, too. That said, you can have O pain after the egg is released, too. And don't asume you're out--my third was an O-6 baby ;)

Essnce, just realized you're also in L.A. :) I'm also a home waterbirth mama. Wonder if we have used the same midwives ;)

8dpo today. I caved and tested. Absolutely nothing on the frer. I also dipped a wondfo and had a super squinter that could have maybe been a line but seeing as they are not as sensitive as frer, it must be a shadow. I'm just not feeling it this cycle. I'll be very surprised if something shows up.
It's still very early. I had no clue #2 &3 were on their way until I tested. I was sure we were out and got surprise BFPs! Don't give up yet ;)

I just realized I may not be able to be a poas addict this cycle! I was thinking that I want to make myself wait until at least weekend and the remembered that Saturday and possibly Sunday (9 & 10 dpo) we'll be camping for an event with my oldest' s cub scouts den. I don't think I can realistically test out there... I don't even know if were we are going has plumbing/bathroom! So I prob won't be able to test this weekend. That's a good thing and a bad thing lol. I'm too impatient to not know asap :giggle: Gonna be an interesting weekend ;)

Lauren I also think you should wait regarding the crosshairs ff changed mine five or six days after originally putting them in :) A thought about your opk situation - if your ok with the cost I would get the cb digital either the dual or normal and use strips as well for comparison. Some people don't like the flashing smiley with the dual but I do as I feel like I'm getting somewhere so to speak. All that stressing over days of positive opks just isn't worth it and could delay your o.

I'm on cd2? Af started around midday yesterday but was only medium flow and on and off - weird lol I almost always start af first thing in the morning, hoping its a good thing :)

Bee fx for you over next few days! Will you be testing daily or waiting?

Twointow I wouldn't know what to do in your shoes about testing lol. So Friday would be 8dpo? If you test and its too early for bfp will it put a damper on your camping trip?

I have no plans to test early this cycle, I have one pregnosis brand test and one digital - there'll be no frers for me this cycle lol (unless I get a bfp then I might do one just to see it lol) No plan to start testing until 11dpo. On a good note I'll o again in September probably around the 28th and I'll be aiming for bd on o day as day b4 timing hasn't worked for 3 out of 4 cycles. Will be trying to bd the morning after the day of solid smiley and catch the egg sometime that day fx fx fx!

Pbn- that was totally me last cycle. 2 days of 'im here but im not here' and then on the night of the 2nd day and 3rd day very heavy (i was double padding and still changing frequently). In my mind was a cleanout so this cycle is a successful one (thats what im hoping)

Not really, I really only get disappointed by BFNs AFTER 10 DPO. BUT if I even had the faintest of faint lines, or *thought* I saw the faintest of faint lines it'd drive me batty not being able to test all weekend :giggle: I figure 8 DPO is too soon anyway as the earliest I've ever gotten a BFP was 9 DPO and that cycle I'm not 100% on O day and could have O'd a day or 2 sooner. BUT I have been reading that lots of twin moms got SUPER early BFPs (like 8-9 DPO) so I am hesitant to even attempt it knowing there is a chance for twins, no matter how small, and knowing I wouldn't be able to test on Sat at the very least, or possibly even Sunday. I think it might drive me crazy either way though lol.

FX, and everything else this cycle!!! Hoping this will be "it" for you!!!

I'm usually pretty heavy right out the gate too but I have had a few odd ball cycles that were light-med the first day or 2 and cycles like that generally have less cramping right off :shrug: I don't know why those happen sometimes, I guess just a naturally occurring fluke. They pick up by day 3 usually for me but I've had a cycle or two the was light-med almost the whole time.

[twointow83]

Looking forward to seeing your chart two! These comments have got me excited!

You and me both!! I am REALLY interested to see if it will bounce back tomorrow, slow climb, or stay low.

I usually get into symptom spotting but this cycle I am trying hard not to because 2 follicles (if both popped) mean 2 corpus luteums which means 2 prog pumps in my body. So when I notice things I have to remind myself of that lol. For example my TTs are about twice as sore as normal. They typically get kinda "cranky" where if you hit them just right or poke at 'em they will fuss but this cycle it's so much worse. I put my seat belt on in my car and the strap hit one just so and it was like nails on a chalkboard. They have hurt worse, but man are they sore. DH has a tendency when we are rough housing to pinch the tar out of them and leave them pretty sore after and they kinda feel like that. And don't get me started on my nips but that has been since just after O so I KNOW it's not a preg symptom. Also, lots a short-lived, mild-moderate pinchy cramps yesterday and today. Trying not to read anything into that because clomid makes me kinda crampy all cycle, but with today's temp I am having a hard time ignoring those, lol.

[twointow83]

Two can you put up current chart when you get a chance?

Sure :D The question of the day is- Did my temp go bungee jumping (and it'll jump back up)? Or sky diving (won't jump back up)? :giggle:

Trying not to symptom spot since I know with 2 follicles it's possible that with 2 corpus luteums pumping out prog that symptoms my be exaggerated. Mostly just tender breasts, and cramping at this point. It's kinda funny.. I dreamt about AF last night and woke up and realized why... I was having some SERIOUS AF type cramps and backache. Not sure how that bodes as far as good or bad. BUT I am having one weird thing that I can't quite explain. Started yesterday morning and then again this morning... and I only notice it in the morning. For some reason, for a couple hours after I first wake up everything smells like bad breath!! Like vomit breath. It's awful and I am glad it is short lived!! Nothing else really stands out that I can think of.

Two, my chart looks strange to me.

I think it looks weird because of those few wild hair temps... makes it a little harder to see O right off. I do think you may have O'd though. Your CL would be around 97.6 putting today's temp just above that. Time will tell for sure though :) Remember that you only need to worry about your last 6 temps. Anything before that it just "decoration" :) Take a piece of paper or something and put it on your screen covering up those wild hair temps and you'll see what I mean :) Eager to see tomorrow's temp!!

[Boysboys]

I know! I really feel like I have already O'd too. That drop on cd15 is throwing me off bc I didn't get my positive OPK until the next day. We shall see!!

9dpo update: BFNs on frer, dollar tree, cheapie. It's still way early, but I have so many tests that I'm just wasting them for the sake of it. I honestly think it's moot because my intuition says this is not our month. I know many women think that and then get a BFP, but honestly, I'm fine with it. I'm pretty ambivalent but that might be a defense mechanism haha. Probably better to have no hope with a chance of a nice surprise than to get my hopes up and be crushed.

My temps are lower than they have been with my pregnancies--just an observation. I might be a little weird but I get a lot of joy out of overanalyzing for the sake of it :p. If AF shows, we'll take a cycle off, get started on a good girl sway/LE diet, and ttc again in October (maybe--I'm going to check the stats). I've always wanted a July baby. If that doesn't happen, we'll probably start a serious discussion about adoption. I've wanted to adopt since I was a kid, and DH is on board (finally). The only thing holding us back is the expense. We've briefly discussed HT but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it, tbh. A lot of money for something without a guarantee.

[Foxcubblue]

First attempt done this morning, will have another in a few hours this evening and a third tomorrow morning, with mooncup (they have done the trick for me three times in the past). So relieved it is finally happening, it really felt like it never would and mentally it was very tough after the m/c.

It's a soft menstrual cup - I pop it in straight after we DTD and it holds the little swimmers up near my cervix. I've never conceived without it and have conceived every time we use it, so I'm a big fan! Not sure if it sways either way but after m/c we are keen just to get pregnant asap and less concerned about what we have (although I'm still swaying blue as far as possible!)

Where do you all get these cups!?!? I might try them since we've experienced unexplained secondary infertility last time so I'm nervous about the time it might take.

Do you lay on your back or stomach? I was going to try my stomach this month because I usually lay on my back.

Quinn- I got the ones I used (Instead SoftCup) from Amazon. I think it was like $6 for a 10 pack. We used to use them when I was having af so we could dtd without making a mess and I had a friend suggest them for TTC and it worked. Twice. Haha

I have a divacup (which I think is the US version of the mooncup) too, that I bought direct from the company but I only use it for AF, nothing else.

I'm a belly person though. I have a retroverted uterus and a super high cervix, so I have to.

I will attach my chart, I have kept my couple of odd high temps in from when I was sick at start of cycle and today it has given me dotted crosshairs for CD 35, if I remove the high temp on CD 15 it gives me solid crosshairs for CD 29.

@Boys I actually lol'ed at that and almost choked on my lunch [emoji23] I'm sure the look on his face would be priceless but he'd do it. Making a mental note to look into this for next cycle!

Any gals out there get indent lines on their wondfos? Just curious :wink: Thanks!

Might I join u fair ladies ? I am currently 6 DPO and waiting for BFP ... hopefully :fx:

Absolutely! I am 7 DPO so I think you are the closest to be ing my testing buddy ;) :fx: for you!

[twointow83]

Ladies, I am out this month. First cycle with IUI failed. Good luck to all who are waiting to test.

I'm sorry :( Hopefully next cycle will be "the one". :hug2:

[MaaMaa]

Hey ladies. I hope that you're going well and not too anxious to test. FX for BFP's!

I have taken a lot of cheapie tests, and one frer, a few days ago, which were all negative. I managed to convince myself there were little shadows, but it was just line eyes, lol. Holding out until Sunday morning to see if I have an anniversary pregnancy surprise! That would be sweet!

One thing I have noticed that's different from every cycle I've charted, is my CM. I was due for my period yesterday. In the week leading up to it I have had heaps of creamy/eggwhite CM. In every other cycle I've charted though, it's dry. I'm really, really hoping that's a good sign. I've read that it can sometimes be related to pregnancy.

Two I'm just wondering about your comment re last 6 temps... I will attach my chart, I have kept my couple of odd high temps in from when I was sick at start of cycle and today it has given me dotted crosshairs for CD 35, if I remove the high temp on CD 15 it gives me solid crosshairs for CD 29. I feel like probably 29 what are your thoughts?

Are you taking anything to dry up CM a bit?? What detector do you have it set to(fertility awareness, advanced, etc.)? Honestly, based on temps, I think FF is either right or off by just 1 day. From CD 34 to 35 you did have a shift but not quite big enough to definitely say you O'd... From CD 35-36 your temp finally exceeded where your the CL should be (I think FF has it set a bit too low, but that's just my opinion). Other than a dip, I see nothing around CD 9 that says you O'd and as I told someone in a post earlier today, the shift is infinitely more important than a dip, because even though a dip *can* precede an O shift it doesn't always. HTH.

:fx: for you! My CM gets creamy inside and watery outside (I "leak" CM :oops: ) when I'm preggers so FX it's a good sign for you!!!

[mammacass]

Thank you for your reply Two, no not taking anything to dry up CM. I have it set to advanced. Here is my chart if I remove the sick temp (just for comparison) just so frustrating lol being my first month would have liked it to be a bit more obvious lolhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/17/5822930365b3563624ed12009c7dc560.jpg

Sheesh. Welcome to Bloatville home of the "Cramp-a-Polooza"! I am sooo stinking bloated (not in my head! My pants are TIGHT!!) and we where running around tonight and I was cramping like crazy. Still nothing that screams "PREGGO!!" though, just seems to be more exaggerated post-O symptoms. My CM has turned creamy and is a tad bit more "leaky" than usual, too, but not so much that it is like it usually is when I get my BFP. *sigh*

Oh, and plans have changed. I have a TON of homework to do this weekend (hopefully I can focus!!), so it looks like I'll be able to start testing this weekend after all :) So far no signs that make me super hopeful but I've had cycles I thought for sure I was out and got BFPs.. so I guess we'll see :/

[MaaMaa]

I remember having a lot of CM in the early months when I was pregnant with my son actually! Hopefully this is it!! Ahh I'm excited now!
Thank you!! :fx: for you too!

[mammacass]

Fingers crossed Two and Maamaa! Happy testing ;)

I just don't see how it's getting that... Did you do OPKs or something??? It makes no sense to me :think: I think FF is WAY off on that but that is just my humble opinion :) Feel free to disagree :D

[Pbn3]

Twointow are you testing tomorrow morning? I'm sooo freaking excited for you!!!!

[twointow83]

I don't know. I am debating. Normally I would just for the heck of it lol but I don't know... this cycle I just don't know if I want to see a BFN (and we both know that even if I am preg the likelihood of getting a BFN is pretty high at 8 DPO). It's weird. I think I might if I get enough sleep and don't have to get up a dozen times tonight to pee. Guess I am leaving it up to the sleeping and peeing god's *wink* :giggle: Tomorrow's temp may also be a factor. IF it shoots up even more then I am prob more likely to test than if it stays the same or goes down. We'll see. But I'll post in the AM to let you know whether I did or not. :D

Two you are a genius [emoji119] you just twigged me to the fact that I had done a couple of opportunistic ferning observations so once I remove these it no longer gives me that date :)

I am quite new to the charting so totally trust your judgement, thank you for helping!

So 3DPO it is, bit bummed as now longer to wait lol oh and I know this is ridiculous but if I O'd before 12th gender prediction was telling me girl :( silly I know but still plays with your head. This new date gives me BD right on O day...

Got ya! I knew that didn't look right... but I don't know about being a genius, lol.

As far as timing, if it makes you feel better, according to that I should have had 2 boys and 2 girls and my DD was supposed to be a boy lol.

Yeah, going backwards sucks, but at least you won't have to go through the headache of testing and getting BFNs and AF not showing up and not being able to figure out WTH is going on.

Mammacass my ds2 was supposed to be a girl going by the gender predictor. Doesn't stop me from checking it every cycle though lol and the moon phase too!!! Looks like I'm going o around full moon this cycle :( but I've read more than enough opposites to show that neither really cannot change what your going to get. In saying that wouldn't it be wonderful to have the non scientific stuff line with the scientific stuff lol

[Bluebooties]

I am waiting till 9 DPO to test. Thats when statistically the percentage of faint positives dramatically increases over negatives. But i definately feel pregnant pelvic heaviness, dull low back pain.

[Pbn3]

Sounds promising bluebooties! fx for you! Will you be 9dpo on Sunday??

FX for your BFP...Sunday, right? If those are abnormal for you then it sounds promising!!

I know what you mean about the heaviness and dull back ache. I have those too. The back ache usually accompanies the cramps I am having so not reading much into it *for me*. and my lower abdomen feels HUGE and heavy but I am just guessing that is from the double dose of prog I'm prob getting :shrug:

[Bluebooties]

Yes this sunday

[Bluebooties]

Yes these are usual for when i pregnant or have a UTI ... lol ... hope its the former and not the later this time .I dont normally have much symptoms before AF is about to come

Yeah I'm good thanks two! Thanks for asking :) I didn't stay away long lol. Af started in full flow yesterday lunch time so happy to see things returning to normal. My boys have either been really ummm lets say challenging or I've had major pms the last two days lol probably the latter :) Just want to get back to o day again. I keep saying I want to try and nail actual o day but realistically I don't know if it will be possible. Thinking I might have to settle for midnight or 1am or so the morning of o instead of between 6-7am :(

I've been staring at this picture everytime I use my bathroom since I put it up early March. Sometimes it gives me the will to keep on keeping on ttc, other times its a reminder that its not happening lol. I put it up as a goal board kinda idea :) Anyway I've been debating whether just to take it down but cant quite bring myself to do it lol.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/17/f2b7373cc01e81b83b84e5ba95774aa9.jpg

Well is it causing you more distress than it's encouraging you to keep going? If so I'd either take it down or only put it up from around O to say 10-11 DPO. That way you wouldn't have to have it rubbed in your wound if AF shows and you are dealing with that disappointment. Just a thought :shrug:
