Hey Jamama , Thank you so much [emoji4]
Mostly same usual symptoms that I get between ovulation and AF.
I have cramps, breast pain nothing new except that cramp seems more noticeable this time, maybe because I am looking for it. lol. Also saw just a bit of brown discharge on Saturday but only once, so I am not going to hope or count on that. I think I am really scared to get my hopes high.
Trying to keep calm and not test too early even though I am so tempted to [emoji23] really hard to keep the early tests away and this few days feels like the longest ever. I am 7 or 8 dpo today. i will wait until 12 dpo to test Fx.
How are you? where are you at?

Hi,
I tested today at 11DPO and it is BFN. Probably out this month.
I had really bad cramping and soreness this month .. have no idea why.. had a little hope but at the same time we both were sick while we tried so i was little worried about the sway. maybe for the best!
hopefully next month [emoji1696]

Sunday as per the calendar. I usually have a 28 days cycle.
mixed feeling for now. I truly have bad cramping from dpo5/6.. I wonder why. if AF came i will be worried why I had cramp. I still have it on one side while I type.

Your chart was a bit strange, is there any way you might have ovulated later??
Some people, myself included, have noticed cramping around the secondary estrogen surge. You are describing something that sounds fairly strong, though, which makes me think that it was either O or...
Another possibility is that you have a cyst. This happens and can be quite painful, but usually resolves on its own and doesn't stop u from ovulating in the future.
What many people are afraid of, but that this probably ISN'T, is a chemical. That cramping you're describing would be too early to be related to a chemical, and it's unusual to notice cramps even 7-9 DPO, because it usually takes a little time before your body kicks the "I'm pregnant" vibes into high gear!

my temperature stayed higher after that.. which is why I thought ovulation was over, so I didn’t take tests after that.
When it went high on cd16.. then it stayed high little by little until cd 22 (dpo 6) if i ovulated on cd16. a small dip on dpo 6 then up again and i had .05 dip today morning so I was thinking maybe period is close.
you are right my ovulation was confusing this month. [emoji29]
Yes the cramp is strong enough to distract me at times and at times I just wanted to lay. I have a feeling that it could be cyst from the way i get this pain. i felt burning and inflamed on the sides at times and makes me feel like i have some wounds inside .. not that I have but that’s the sort of feeling i get at times. inflammation kinda feel and then cramps in the middle like am about to start period and goes away. it is not just on the side or middle. it was either side, otherwise middle. mostly on the left. my ovulation pain was on the right this month
when AF arrive, i will try and get some test maybe with the doc.
if I have cyst, why is it painful? does it mean it is going away? how can we check if I have it?
thank you so much for reply

Ok, so if it was all over the place it's less likely that it was a cyst. Usually cysts are in ONE place. They hurt because they get bigger than what your ovary "likes" and can even rupture (which is very very painful) You can't tell if a cyst is going away if it's painful, it doesn't mean anything other than that it is present.
But since you're having pains all over the place I'm assuming either your ovulation was delayed or you are pregnant and it hasn't registered on the test yet.

thank you atomic. if ovulation was delayed I hope it ends up with AF as we didn’t have a good attempt. DH released as I had cramps, I didn’t want to bd.. maybe did once or twice during the 2ww.
will wait for AF day to test again.

Really I don't know, I usually ovulate on cd12 but this month the ovulation pain I had on cd 12 was very mild compared to previous months. But the pain returned strongly yesterday cd14. So I may have had a late ovulation. So I probably started 2WW today.
Anyways we dtd cd 8, 9, 11, 12, 14. I wish we had BD cd 13, but I was exhausted after work. But I've been trying for so long now, that I don't feel anxious anymore, I just take each month as it comes.
Good luck this month Jazmin.

[emoji1696] for BFP. yes BD in a row is tiring and I feel exhausted as well.
I have started to prepare for next cycle. my temperature just dropped today so I think AF is about to come. it will be here today or tomorrow as per normal cycle. I was also little bit sick at the starting of this cycle so lets see if that’s delayed it.

This month my cycle was 27, guessing my ovulation will be around cd 14/15.
i usually done with AF by cd7. so far DH did cd2 ,cd4 (release only) , planning cd6 Release then get into attempt from there onwards.
how can I plan this month’s attempt? if ov guessed for cd 14/15 ? i will be taking temp and ovulation tests too. hoping this will be my cycle.

my ovulation strips and chart so far. Do you think my ovulation is today or tomorrow? i see the temp spiked today.

February 6th, 2022, 12:15 PM
Hmm, I would need more temps to say for sure. One temp in isolation doesn't mean anything. I suspect that the tests on CD 14 are the actual surge and late CD 14 or early CD 15 is when O happened, but without a few more temps I can't say for sure.
Jazmin
February 6th, 2022, 01:16 PM
tempt dropped today cd16 to 36.33.. (cd15 was 36.44) so little confused. i will keep testing ovulation and temp and continue with BD. should I skip tomorrow (CD17) and bd on cd18 or bd one more day tomorrow to cover and see how temp and ovulation doing.
I had ovulation like cramp from right side on CD 14 night .. it was for like 2 hours noticeable but not bad. then it switched to left side for little bit and gone.
yesterday night almost like 24 hours after i had really bad cramp again on right , middle side and to the back and it was really uncomfortable pain for about 30 minutes and faded maybe after an hour.

The high temp was just a fluke. I would keep BD daily till you're certain, it doesn't hurt and may help.
O pains are not terribly useful unfortunately, because you can have them before, during, and after O. Usually once they're gone for good, it means O did happen at some point, just that we can't know exactly when, and even if they're still there, it doesn't mean that you haven't Oed yet! So confusing, I know!

here is my updated temp. So it pointing to cd14. so does it mean cd14 is my peak or my ovulation happened on cd14.. always wonder what exactly the red line pointing onto.
I am not sure if i can BD today.. have a sign of UTI ( probably bcoz of too many BDs) and feeling a bit [emoji21]

tested today. negative. i think I am out.. i can feel period is around here.. in 3/4 days.
fasting month is approaching. when i started swaying i was 66kg.. and now i am 69.. when i had my dd2.. i was 61/62kg and less than that for dd1. should i cut down my weight more .. maybe the weight gain is a problem?
my period is regular.. on time. I had my DDs the first month.. dont know what is happening.
I have requested for blood test and waiting. [emoji21] maybe i will just sleep all day today and get over it. [emoji2]

Sorry if you already told me this, but have you had your husband in for a sperm analysis?? Many times when people just were inexplicably not conceiving it ended up being that the husband was having some issues in that department.
I would hold steady on weight if you can, and if a small amount comes off it's not a big deal.

dpo12 and its negative.. so while I wait for my AF i was wondering if I could squeeze in another cycle before fasting month starts.
my ovulation could be just 2/3 days before.. if my temp go up, will it affect if I start fasting while the conception? or should just skip the cycle that’s too close to fasting and then restart later? i was wondering.. if mattered after Bds and ovulation ?

I would definitely try to be in with an attempt this month. At the beginning of a pregnancy the baby needs so little that were you to start fasting after conception, it wouldn't make any difference as long as you were careful to eat before and after sundown.
I would try to eat both morning and night, a fairly big meal that "sticks to your ribs" a bit more than normal!!!
And then once you get your BFP, if you get it this month, you can cease fasting, correct?? Many of my clients stop fasting once they are pregnant. So you'd be able to start eating again shortly thereafter, before things progressed to a point where the baby needed more nutrients.
Jazmin
February 16th, 2022, 01:38 PM
yes, I can stop fasting if pregnant. fasting is not mandatory if pregnant especially when the hours are longer. doctors don’t recommend it either due to dehydration.
thank you. I will go ahead [emoji4]

Please don't use things like clove and cumin seed drinks except in occasional dietary amounts. They don't do anything magical, they may not be safe, they may disrupt your menstrual cycle, and may even harm you or a future pregnancy. Don't do anything herbal or spice based, more than 2x a week.

February 24th, 2022, 11:43 AM
Ok so let's boost the Vit. D as per your doctors orders. If they didn't give you any orders on upping Vit. D, just double the amount you've been taking until they do. If it was SUPER low, then triple it up to 5000 iu a day, no more than that without doctor's guidance.
The over the counter sperm checks really aren't very reliable. It only tests one element - sheer numbers alone - but there are several things they test for in a sperm analysis. And they're not truly counting the sperm, they're just testing for a protein that sperm have in it. So a man with a lot of dead sperm might still have a high protein number and seem like he had a good sperm count when he didn't. The best use of those tests is to tell when a man is no longer fertile after a vasectomy and not for any male fertility issues.

i think i got my positive OPK yday.. (CD15).. guessing today could be my ovulation as well.
we did every2-4 days until fertile window.. then Cd14, cd15, cd16 (today) .. then try one more tomorrow then carry on 2-4 days.
wont be attempting next cycle as I have few fasting to take next week( during my 2ww) .. would that ok. i wont be doing it in a row.. planning every other day.

Brilliant, it sounds as if you've had a great attempt this month!!!! FXFXFX and :pray: for blue BFP!
Yes that makes sense to skip the month, several others are doing the same.
In the 2WW I would just try extra hard to be sure you're eating a big meal before dawn and after sunset. It's not ideal, but it can still happen just as long as your body isn't "afraid" that you're starving, and big meals can help with that. I know of one woman who actually set an alarm during Ramadan and had a midnight snack! I don't think that's necessary really but it is something you could do if you were really concerned you hadn't been able to consume enough calories at two meals.
