I have quite a lot of cm probably from the Femara, does anyone think that’s a problem at all? I thought it would be less since I’m not taking supplements and eating so few nutrients but I guess not!

I have a ton of CM and specifically a lot of EWCM, even while taking allergy medication daily (for actual allergies not for swaying LOL). I always have, though. I thought the diet and/or exercise would lessen my CM too, but I guess not! Last cycle while swaying I had six days of EWCM and the previous cycle (also while swaying), I had it for a week!! This cycle where we had our first attempt, I only had 4 days of EWCM, so maybe that’s something, but it was definitely still there.Quote:

You sound like me! I usually have 4 days of ewcm, and it’s not quite there yet but it’s getting close for sure!! My opk was “high”Quote:

Don’t worry I got my DD with a ton of EWCM and an O and 3 attempts but stick to the advice atomic gives because every woman is different.
I research bfps with woman who have had faint bfp with fmu and then dark bfps with smu or even late afternoon or evening urine with dark bfps, and it continues daily where bfps during day are dark and then back faint for fmu. So strange!!!! Maybe I fall in this category. I do remember w my first DD bfps were strange not progressing etc. it’s just been a while. So I decided tmrw to test again around 2:30pm to see what happens, tomorrow my birthday and don’t even feel like celebrating. But my bfp today at 2:30 is pure pink and clear
Sticky baby dust everyone
Congratulations that’s exciting! My tests were always more clear with 2mu.Quote:

Tested again today at 2pm w my third urine of day , I didn’t test in the morning. My test was pretty pink at 3 min mark and darker. I compared videos from yesterday. I doubt this is left over hcg. I’m either 10-11 dpo. Will test again by Sunday or even Monday

Looking good princess mom! [emoji7] I don’t think that’s leftover hcg either!

Looks really good Princess mom for 10-11 dpo! Dont think it is leftovers either!
Sending sticky pink dust your way again!
Thanks! I did not test today it was hard not to lol, I figure I wait a few more days
Hey girls- attempt is tonight! Pray for me that I get my girlie (or twin girlies)!!

Woohoo, so exciting! Fingers crossed! [emoji1695][emoji16]
7dpo today over here and losing my mind! LOL. I had some watery CM yesterday so I’m thinking the secondary estrogen surge (the infamous “implantation dip”) and I was so excited to see my temp this morning... then woke up with my mouth wide open. [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] I SWEAR it always happens on the worst possible days! Now I’ll never know if the huge dive today was from the SES or just mouth breathing. I’m wondering if maybe a combo of both — dip from the SES made more pronounced by the mouth breathing? [emoji848]
How’s everyone else doing? Princess mom anymore tests?

Attempt made around midnight last night. I usually have a long surge so I pray I catch the egg! Last night cd 13 at midnight was our only unprotected attempt. This is also my first month using bbt tracking!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looking good! Fingers crossed you got that egg! [emoji1695] is this your first month ever temping or just first month for this sway/since you started trying? I always have two days of positives on OPKs and then see my temp shift the SECOND day after the first positive, meaning that O day was the day in between — aka the day after the FIRST day of positive OPK. I did have at least one cycle (and mostly likely two cycles honestly) in which my temp didn’t shift until the THIRD day after the first positive — putting O day at the SECOND day after first positive OPK.Quote:

Our one attempt this cycle was O-1 and I’m 99.9% sure I’ll cave and start testing at 9dpo tomorrow morning. Bah! No willpower lol. But I have 50 Pregmate strips so I don’t mind going through a couple extra! [emoji2957]

Going in for betas in a few hours, today my test was way darker, darkest it has been. I did have light pink brown cm, but I actually spotted heavy with my last two babies. Just praying for a sticky baby miracle
Yay!! That’s so exciting! Sending all the sticky pink dust your way! [emoji166][emoji92] Can’t wait to hear your beta results! Do you find out the same day or does it take a few days?Quote:

I prefer you guys wait till 10-12 DPO. Even if you got early tests in the past, there are no guarantees you will every time and I have seen soooo many people get upset over a negative test that later turned positive I think you're just better off waiting for a reliable positive instead of getting worked up with no reason to.
I agree with atomic it’s stressful!!!
I seen an awesome doc and think I will stick with him instead of my previous, he is a specialist and so kind and said he will give me progesterone if it’s low then switch to makena once I’m 17 weeks due to my cervix issue I had w my dd my test today is so dark! Compare to my past it’s almost same color as control line I tend to test darker in afternoon
Attachment 42778
Image quality prob sucks but it darker in person
Top yesterday bottom today
I’m thinking I ovulated later my temps were weird and my regular line opks I use first response were not positive till cd 14 and still the test line wasn’t darker than control. I usually o cd 15-16 FF kept changing my date from 14-16 now it stuck at cd 14, so I’m either 11-13 dpo. I think I o cd 15, will update w betas
I always o the second day of my peak but this cycle I was getting peaks solid smile but my reg opks were faint I have no clue when I o. I usually get one day of pos opk when test line darker than control line then following day it’s the same and then I o , I have a long surge also. But that’s good, you have plenty of time to BD
Looking good princess mom!! Glad you found a doc you like! [emoji4]
Abi I will admit I’m totally confused. I’m not sure what I’m looking at in that chart/graph. Is that your LH levels? What do you use to get that? I thought “high” vs “peak” was just on that special clear blue fertility monitor type OPK that gives smilies (which I think you’re talking about princess mom right?)
I just used the regular dip strip LH tests, mine were Pregmate brand. I always got a nice fade in, and I could usually tell the day before it would turn officially positive — I would always get a nice “almost positive.” But those I marked as negative OPKs. I didn’t count it as positive until it was as dark as or darker than the control line. My first day of positive would usually be darker than, the second day of positive as dark as (usually the day I would end up ovulating) then they would go back to not as dark as control line and fade out.

Sorry for the confusion! This is the premom app- the blue line is my bbt and the orange line is the graph the app makes of my LH levels from opk. Yesterday our attempt was at cd13 when I had both high opk and ewcm and today I’ve had high and peak levels. I don’t really know what it means [emoji2370] I’m hoping temp will prove ovulation tomorrow or the next day! Here’s my OPKs. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a25fb3d3c3.png

Oh wow that’s interesting! I have never seen or heard of that app before. How does it determine “high” or “peak” though? Aren’t those just regular LH strips? I only test once a day after lunch. I would have marked both CD13 and 14 on yours as positive if those were mine. As far as I know it doesn’t matter “darker than” vs “dark as” — I’d say CD13 was positive for you anyway! Usually for me my first day of positive is darker than and then second day is as dark as, but I don’t think it matters, each is considered positive.
Fingers crossed for a temp spike for you tomorrow!! [emoji1695][emoji1695][emoji1695]

My temp went up very slightly this morning but wasn’t a huge jump! I don’t know about opks- I’ve researched and researched trying to figure it out and I can’t seem to get a consistent answer on when ovulation happens. I’m thinking it’s probably today, cd 15, but I don’t know! How are you doing?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Betas in doc hasn’t called but got email from the lab hcg 8 and progesterone 1.1 and doc look at my chart basically I did o cd 16. My hormones must of been unbalance still from the d&c, I should have waited this if my fault :(.
Will prob do another draw tomorrow just weird why my test is still dark
Princess mom I’m confused? Does that mean it was still leftover? Is 8 low?
Abi any rise is a good rise! Look into “slow rise” it’s a very common chart patter, I actually have it more often than not.
As for me — 9dpo this morning, my temp went back up again, and I’ve been having the WORST super smell (like I could smell the watermelon on my son’s breath from his drink LOL) which is always an early symptom for me. Sooooo, I caved and tested with FMU this morning. [emoji30] at 9dpo. Sorry atomic!! I would have been fine with a negative too I just couldn’t focus on work without at least trying!!
But anyway... IT’S POSITIVE!!! BFP! [emoji33] I really truly didn’t think it would happen first try... I’m freaking out! I dipped one Pregmate strip and it was very faint but there, dipped another because I didn’t believe it, also there, both are pink... dipped an FRER in the same urine sample and it’s not even a squinter. AHHH!
When my hands stop shaking enough to take a pic, I will post! [emoji2956]

Okay good! Keep us updated princess mom! You’ll have to go back for more betas in a day or two right?
And thank you both! [emoji177][emoji178] I legit don’t know what to do with myself. I’m excited and scared. Part of me is like WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! Three kids?! [emoji28] Someone put my mind at ease LOL! How was the transition from two to three for you all?
