Maxim-I agree with Ash! Your temp has been consistently up...it does look like O around CD16. I wonder if ff will change O day after one more high temp?? You could even give it a test. I'd love to know your take on this Pbn!!
Ash-all of your symptoms sound promising & so funny that even your grandma picked up on it!! We're certainly not going to stop you from POAS here lol, but say you implanted the day had spotting, you would prob not be able to detect hcg on a frer until 10/11dpo right?? May be worth the wait, so you won't have disappointment the 1st time!!
Pbn-yay for cramps! Hope it's due to your miracle slip!!! [emoji12]
AFM-I really haven't noticed symptoms and I'm always reading into signs! However, I thought of this later today & it will sound so cliche. I haven't had much of an appetite lately, but I realllllly wanted ice cream today! Got my ice cream & it was realllllly good ;) I do have a random sore throat, so maybe that's why the ice cream sounded so good...

Hi & welcome dreaming! First, let me say I'm soo sorry to hear all that you've been through wow! Praying for a healthy baby! Is this your 1st month ttc since then? Happy for you to join :) You had me at "POAS freak" lol. I also have 2 DS & reallly want my girl! I'm 38 & last AF started on April 10th...lots of similarities :) AND you're right on track with testing around the same time as a lot of us here! Since you aren't using ff, could you possibly post a screenshot of your kindara chart?

@Lola - I don't think I fully acknowledged to myself how emotional this has been until reading your acknowledgment that it's been a lot. So thank you for that! We've been trying ever since with the exception of January where we purposely refrained due to due date timing messing with schedules.
A few other things we're doing to sway. Trying E4D but as you can see we're not super awesome at that. So really we're focused on the 1 attempt at +OPK. My DH is a cyclist (100 miles on the bike a week) and had actually taken a break during the years we had a our boys. So hoping this will help our chances for a little lady. Hopefully you can see my chart below.

Also super exciting to have a buddy with so many parallels on this journey. I'm rooting for your bfp in May!

Ash-this is only my 2nd time charting w/temps. Last time there was not a warning before AF, my temp suddenly dropped when AF started! I feel like my chart looks steady, but remembering last time...
You're chart looks steady to me, but pbn is the real expert at being able to read charts!!!

Yes I see nothing out of the ordinary on mine! My temp dropped the day af started also but I did have a warning I had temp drop, af in late afternoon.
Ugh three sleeps away!

Hi Ladies
Ive been lurking waiting for someone to poas 🤣 something, anything 😆
Ive just been trying to continue small talk with dh and we watched some old home videos the other day. Really shows how fast time goes. Also trying to further tweak a potential sway and cutting sweets is my biggest hurdle and fitting in the exercise.
Welcome dreaming. Best of luck. How do you find kindara to use? I think i need a new cycle tracker.
Pbn i can totally understand the need to move forward and part with all the baby stuff. I tried after ds4 but and got rid of some small things but it was too much. I haven't tried to as yet. It certainly takes alot of strength and I wish you peace. What a wonderful DH you have to be so supportive. I truly hope there is a sneaky bfp though.😍
Im in the tww aswell i cant confirm O but i think it was much later after my almost positive opk. I doubt one of DHs swimmers escaped. I can only hope 🤣
I hope the time passes swift for those in the tww. I remember those times xx

@Netti - I love Kindara and I have been using their bluetooth thermometer called Wink for the last 4 months. It allows me to keep resting without having to enter my temp manually. It vibrates instead of beeps when it's done so it doesn't disturb the DH as much either.
Good luck to you! I'm also looking forward to seeing everyone post results. Any bfps even if it's not my own is encouraging!
-
Thanks for posting your chart dreaming & glad you've joined us! It really is the perfect outlet as others irl don't always understand what we're going through! The ladies here have been the most amazing support!!!! Anyway, you sound like you have your sway on target! Perfect timing for DH to be cycling again :) What hpt will you use? I have my frer's ready for Wednesday & I'm not going to give in before then!!!
Ash-yay for 3 more sleeps! Now that I've been symptom spotting....I have been a little cranky, tired & agitated this evening unlike my usual self! Almost like PMS symptoms, but no cramps and too early for AF. Maybe it's just from going going going all weekend & now it has finally caught up with me.

Netti-nice to hear from you! Missed your post when I was posting. The POAS entertainment will begin very soon! We have sky, pbn, ash & myself all 7dpo right? (Pbn-you're prob 8dpo now just b/c of timezones) and then sumbal, maxim & dreaming not far behind! Did I miss anyone? Phew that's a lot of testing going on...can't wait!!!! [emoji4]

Of course I meant to include you in the testing as well netti! What dpo do you think you are??

Loving the symptoms Lola. We technically are 8 days before af so would we have those symptoms this far away? I normally notice nothing so I guess I'm probably not quite in sync with things yet since I'm only 3 months post iud. I feel confident one moment and the next I don't so I'm a bit moody about testing it's a love/hate thing.... I'll surprise myself if I can hold out until Wednesday because I don't think it'll take to much convincing dh totest early

I'm using easy @home OPKs and pg test strips off of Amazon. They are cheap and I know they work since I got obvious results through the heterotopic. I actually used the pg test strips while simultaneously doing blood tests when the doc was checking my levels to make sure they were going back down and determined sensitivity of the tests down to 8iui. This may be why I think I can test earlier than normal. I'm also scared of another ectopic so I want to get the bloodwork as soon as I get a bfp next time.
What tests are you all using?

Dreaming-I'm using frer's and I have some clearblue digis with weeks indicator that I'll save for when I first see a BFP! I have a bunch of wondfos, but don't think they're as sensitive. Don't blame you for being nervous & smart to get things checked out early!!
Ash-it does seem a little early for symptoms...I'm trying to remember how soon I noticed with my boys?? Actually I do remember 1 thing just b/c it was a holiday! I noticed strong smells & tastes on July 4th, then got a BFP on July 7th at 11dpo. So I noticed the smells at 8dpo-did I do my math correctly? haha.

Uuurrggghh!!!! So annoyed as I received NO notifications and there's like three pages of posting!! I will go back and read up and respond larer tonight when everything calms down.
I was coming on to say Ash, Sky and Lola - surely one of us will cave and test tomorrow 😂😂 we need a hpt to look at!!!! Even if its a stark bfn which being 8dpo is very likely 😂
-
Maxim can you take the pos opk out of your chart as none of your opks are positive and add in your cp signs instead. If indeed you've oed cd16 then the next couple days will confirm it and ff will still eventually give you crosshairs based on your temps and other signs (cm,cp). I really hope that cd16 is o day as you will have excellant attempts 😀 regarding the opks I would keep testing until you see a sustained temp rise and do as your doing (e4d) to cover all bases. But I'm excited for you and cant wait for your next two temps fx fx fx!!! Oh and I'm not sure if the digis are worth a try or not 😕 could be a very expensive excercise if your surge (or lack of) isn't picked up. If you were to try the digi's I'd only recommend the dual hormone one as they test for both lh AND estrogen changes and maybe this may do the trick??? Again it'd be an expensive exercise....
Ash and Lola in regards to your charts it's simply to early to read into. Implantation generally takes place between 6-10dpo (with exceptions of course) so if you see a temp rise between 7dpo - 11dpo it *could* mean something. The thing is with early detect hpt testing you generally know your pregnant before your chart reflects this lol. So excited for the next few days temps!!!!!
Sky how are you feeling? I know I asked earlier but any intuition going on? I understand if not because you've had quite the distraction with dd (hope she's much better ❤)
Hi and welcome dreamingella! I am so sorry for your losses :( what a traumatic (and rare!) ordeal to go through :( fx tight that this is your cycle! Agree it looks like cd17 is o day :) was that a morning or evening bd on cd17? Your 3-o is a good attempt and the fact your dh cycles so much is really good for pink 😀
Hi netti! Great to hear from you! When you say about dh swimmers escaping does that mean he's pulling out?
How are you sumbal? I'm sorry I cant recall if your charting or not 😕 if so can you post a screenshot or link 😀
Seriously Ash, Lola and Sky one of you HAVE to test!!! It cant be me as its only the evening of 7dpo for me 😆 and you ladies will be waking up soon to 8dpo. Test! Test! Test!!!! For the love of god someone POAS!!!!!!! Hoping I'm still awake tonight when you ladies start posting (pics 😉😂)

Good morning everyone! It won't be me...not giving in to testing today or Tues haha! Ashhh? Sneaking a test? Lol [emoji12]

No testing for me I got woke up to " babe you need to get up we got work to do the basement is flooded!" Argh it's rained like a dang hurricane here for 4 days and it craps out when it quits raining! So I got a little break on my way to get another sump to catch up. First time the basement has flooded since we built 4 years ago! So frustrating but it'll keep me busy the. Ext couple days cleaning

Stalking along....hope all these signs are a sign that some BFPs are on their way xoxo

Good morning ladies! I meant to post last night, but have been so exhausted the last few days. Pbn, I took out the positive OPK for CD13. I had it in there so I would remember this was the closest to positive that I had, but it was putting up strange dotted lines. I’m trying to figure out FF, so any tips are helpful…thank you for that! It doesn’t look like I’ve o’d yet, temps were down today. Super frustrating, so many mixed signs this cycle. Typically I O between CD17-25, so there’s still technically time, but annoying nonetheless. ;)
Iwant4 – how are you? Anything new??
Pbn – I am really praying for your bfp this cycle. When are you testing?? Big, big hugs for you!
Sky, Lola & Ash – soooo close!!!! Lola, your boys are incredibly cute!!! I’ll have to send you a pic of my girls in their smocked dresses, would look so cute next to your boys LOL! Love their look!
Sunbal – fingers crossed for your boy!
Mummy – I had to convince my DH to try for a 3rd for 6 months. He promised me he would try for one month to see what happened…well, didn’t get my BFP that cycle and here I am months later. Keep working on him if it’s something that you really want.
Dreaming – welcome! Sorry to hear about what’s happened to you, but wishing you the best in the 2ww and prayers for a BFP. I’m also using easy@home tests for opk.
Netti – good to hear from you!
-
Also ladies, how long are you holding urine before you test for opk? I've been doing ~3 hours, but have been drinking during that timeframe. Is that bad? Wondering if I'm throwing off my tests.
-
Okay, and one more TOTALLY tmi question... Has anyone else had vaginal childbirth and think that their cervix always feels open? I just googled CP's to see if I should start noting it and mine does go up and down, but the opening always just feels open. Is that normal?! :think:
-
Max I don't know the answers to your other questions but after 4 vaginal births I can feel a difference like when I'm around O it's softer for sure right now seems super firm but I can never really tell a difference between open and closed and I can't ever tell a difference between ewcm and sperm

Small update! Not feeling anything today! [emoji20] boooo

Pbn-so I had a small temp increase today...is that what you were referring to as a good sign?? I know it's nighttime where you are now, almost noon here on May 1st. So will you be 9dpo when you wake up???
Maxim-I had 2 c-sections, so I'm not certain :( I held urine for 2-3 hours before using an OPK...I'm not good at holding. I did try to limit the amount of fluids, but I did still drink fluids throughout the day. I'd love to see a pic of your girls in smocked dresses! Sounds precious! Hope I'm shopping for smocked dresses one day ;)
Ash-sorry about the flooded basement-not fun!! Good distraction though lol. I'm not really noticing any signs today either. I have felt a little hungrier than usual and noticing a slightly overactive bladder, but there could be a number of reasons for that! Seems like I notice that sign often & it's still a BFN...so not putting much stock in that!
Iwant4-is your appt this Wednesday? If so, that's going to be one busy day for all of us!

Hi, me again :) After Maxim's cervix question, I realized that I need guidance on how it's supposed to feel if you are pregnant and how soon can you tell? I'm new to checking & it's hard to tell!! I think mine is soft not sure about open/closed...

I've read somewhere before Lola that it can shift as normal which at af it'll be low and firm but in early pregnancy it goes back high and firm/closed

Looks like our next thread will be may 2ww ☹️ how time flies but not fast enough when your waiting to test lol.
Iwant4kids I knew I had this picture somewhere and I'm having to sort through wet stuff from a flooded basement. I had a miscarriage in 09' and when I finally fell pregnant Freaking out is a understatement I thought I'd lost the baby because I had no symptoms, I went in for an ultrasound and they couldn't find anything nor a heartbeat. I went back in two weeks and this is the picture they found and I was 9w gestation but measuring 8w2d. Thinking of you and hope so hard that your far enough along Wednesday they can find something https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d47866bdcf.jpg

Ash, this gives me such hope for Iwant4!!! Fx a sneaky hiding baby!!!
So, I've noticed one of those small, but painful hormonal cysts on my face. Now I'm worried this is related to AF & feel like I may be out before I even test ugh [emoji45]

Nice to meet you Pbn3. Thanks for the kind words.
To answer your question, it was a mid-day BD on CD 17 for us.
-
I've been getting acne also Lola but the stinky part is it's part of af and pregnancy. Don't give up yet!! I may cave tomorrow and test if dh doesn't leave for work before I'm up. I'm ready to know already and I think 9dpo is pretty common for bfp.... but then again I'm going to be so upset if it's negative.

I'm sure I will cave by 7 DPO if that makes you feel any better, Ash! ;)

-
You're so right Ash, I'm just worried about any sign that could mean AF, but hope it's pregnancy related instead! Someone needs to test early, so certainly won't stop you lol!! I'm sooo excited that the week is finally here to see everyone's tests & hopefully BFPs!! I know what you mean about being upset if it's a BFN ugh....haven't even tested & already disappointed....so worried that I'm not going to see those 2 lines & if I don't, not sure what I'm going to do?! I feel like BD attempts aligned perfectly with pos OK & BD e4D just in case O was later. Don't know what more I could've done. I'll be so sad if I go on 5 months ttc....guess my plan will be to make a dr appt & hope for clomid for my twin girls lol [emoji12][emoji166][emoji166]

Haha dreaming I started at 5dpo last cycle even though I know it's impossible. I only want to wait because I think it would be awesome for dh to be the one to see it. And I'm not sure he'd take the effort for a squinter
