It does make me feel good that we were at least doing the e4d that way I wasn't just waiting for a positive opk to show up.

Mommy2apples- I too feel that u Oed looking at your chart. I m so
glad that u r doing e4d so u covered yourself well. Fx so tight.
I also used the cb pink one before actually starting ttc and then switched to the purple one. I would also suggest doing one in the afternoon between 12-2 based on my experience and once in the evening between 5:30-7:00. Again that was my experience. I will look at my old cycles and will try to give you the exact time of my pos solid smiley with pink ones if that helps. I also like the idea of switching to cb once the lines are darker on wondfo.
Max - I m so excited for this cycle and crossing everything for you. Yay for Femara. ❤️❤️
Iwant4kids- My appointment is with Lolla on 30th but at 4pm [emoji51][emoji51]. I m so nervous and excited. Fx for your sister. Keep us posted.
U r in 2WW. [emoji322][emoji322]Fx for a bfp for you. [emoji847]
LMSM - It will be so exciting to see u all getting ur wonderful attempts in and getting a bfp. I am going to be cheering you all on. ❤️❤️❤️
Nacire - How are you dear?

Skyblue - Hi! I'm okay. Thanks for asking :) I'm 9 dpo and my temps are still up. I've been having hot flashes and cramps for a few days now. I think it's to early for af. I might cave and test first thing tomorrow morning. FF said to test on July 4th, but I'd like to know before we leave on our family vacation to Maui later this week.
Eek!! Rooting for you Naci!!

Thanks Sky! That's alright! Atomic said the schedule is good, just to switch to 1/8tsp also :)
So my opks are pretty much just staying the same color now, not even attempting to get darker. Lol

Good morning ladies!
(though I know for most of you it’s still Sunday night haha)
Max – I like your optimism! Yes, we’ll be so close with our DD too hehe – I’m so hopeful for this cycle!
it’s great that Femara doesn’t affect lining like Clomid does – definitely better chances especially if you have history of thin-ish lining as it is – what your hubs said the other day, so cute – you two have something very special – and you will be blessed with another bundle soon, I promise! ;)
What’s your BD plan – and remind me, will you be monitored by your ob to check on your follicles’ development?
TTcblue – since you were not temping, it could still be that your O was a day or 2 later than what you think so with all the signs you have you still are likely very much in the game for a bfp very soon! FX!
Mommy2apples – sorry I know nothing about cinnamon – are you taking tablets?
Is that part of the sway? I think cinnamon helps control blood sugar levels so I guess you laides might take higher doses to help lower BS levels significantly, is that it?
Your BD plan sounds like a great way to do it ;) I would concur it seems you O’d for sure with such a steep and sustained rise in temp – woohoo for TWW! :D
Naci – looking good hon! You have been so patient with this cycle – definitely looks like you have a chance of a bfp – your signs likely mean something – can’t wait to see if you cave in and test! ;) FX so hard!
XXfor hubby – how great to have as much wisdom shared on here as possible :D how are you doing? How is the bump growing?
Have you got a name for that sweet girl of yours?
Iwant4 – when will you be testing hon? :D
Sky – only a few more sleeps for your appointment! :D
I had to laugh as we dtd last night - cd3,hubby was uber keen (my cunning “kinky all month wife” plan clearly has effects mooohahaha *evil laugh*) – and it actually was good – had the big O : so afterwards I thought about what you told me :rofl: - I figured, might as well get started as early as possible in the cycle with this ‘O every time’ business lol
My stepper with resistance bands arrives today so will also get into a more strict weights/exercise regime to gain a tad of muscle over the next couple of weeks- can’t hurt right?! ;)
Lola and Kat – only a few more sleeps for you – can’t wait! Kat you afre first up – please update us on here too ladies!! ;)
Ok – so I only use IC opk test strips atm – but was thinking, is it worth investing in a box of CB opks just to confirm O you reckon? And if so, which ones? Seems there are a few different ones available...I’m worried I might drive myself crazy if there are “conflicting” results between CB and IC – but at the same time, I want to optimise my chances too…thoughts oh Clearblue opk gurus? :D
Browsing on the net I can find here the pink ones (LH only I assume?) – and the purple ones (dual hormone – more sensitive but more exxy too) -
Lmsm: rooting for you!! lol I know you told me that means something completely there!! So cheering you on!! Yay for bd!! Hoping you conceive your sweet boy very soon!!
Atomic had me take cinnamon to help with sway and I had quite a bit of weight to lose. Hoping the bd plan worked out in my favor!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Max- start using opks at CD10. I found it best to start early rather than later.
Mommy- I like that schedule and don't forget to wean down to 1/8th teaspoon before tapering off.
LMSM- if you get CBDs to confirm O with ICs, get the pink capped ones. I bought a pack of 20 and only used them when I thought I got a positive on an IC. At most, I would use 3 per cycle. It's quite economical to use them this way (a box of 20 is $32-35). Do NOT use the advanced this way (purple capped ones)! They are meant to use all cycle long.

LMSM- I feel like I'm getting huge despite only gaining 13.5lbs [emoji854]! We keep searching, but I think her name will most likely be Olivien (pronounced Oliv-ee-en) Elizabeth. We also like Honor Elizabeth, but I really like Olivien the best. We will see though! My DS3 taught us to have plenty of name options! He was going to be Ottis Matthew, but he didn't look like that! If it wasn't for my discharge nurse, he wouldn't have had a name 🤣🤣. No joke! Aaron Michael fits him to a T!!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
LMSM - I love the evil laugh. I like your plan. Big O every time. I read that a few ladies did have a few Os by helping themselves (IYKWIM) [emoji12][emoji12]before dtd just to increase the ph and have more Ewcm that actually helps when ttc boy. I tried doing that in the first cycle but couldn't keep up. Try if U can. Good luck.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
LMSM-It really helped me to use the cb digi to confirm O b/c my OPKs started off naturally dark & the smileys gave me the visual I needed! I did use the purple dual hormone ones & they are pricier. I liked that you used fmu & the blinking smiley gave me a heads up before the solid smiley. It always starts off with an empty circle. I agree with XX though, if you're only using a few to confirm O, the pink ones are good.
XX-that's a beautiful name[emoji175]
Nacire-FX for a BFP! Either way, Maui paradise will have your mind off of everything! I'm sure it's just as beautiful where you live-how far is that from you?
LMSM - Thank you so much! I feel like my hopefulness is what makes me seem so patient :) I honestly feel like omgosh this has to be the longest cycle ever lol :) I’m definitely testing first thing in the am, but it’s a CBD so hopefully it’s not to early.. I’m super excited for you this cycle :) Hugs :) :)
Lolabelle - The flight from Oahu to Maui is less than 35 mins :) and Thanks again!!
Wow. I have heard Maui is amazing. Can't wait for tomorrow. How many hours to go now?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Skyblue - 10 hrs give or take :) It's only 8:20pm here the nights still young lol
Ok. I m up Nacire and stalking. 2 hours until your test. 🤞🤞

Hello everyone. I don't really think I should join in just yet, but I wanted to stop in and update.
I'm still having symptoms that I've only ever had before during pregnancy, and my tests are all still coming up completely negative. Today I am 13dpo, af day, and no signs in sight. Very unusual for me. I also noticed when checking the calendar, that I have always O'd exactly 12 days before the start of my next period. So maybe it's possible that I O'd a day later that I assumed since I don't temp (that would be my guess if AF does arrive today/tonight).
I also have wondered for months if one of my tubes may not be releasing an egg. Ive had scar tissue on my tubes since the age of 15. Since having the mirena removed, i have had ovulation pains every month. When the pains are on the right, I have positive OPKs for 2 days straight (am, pm, am, pm) and when the pains are on the left, they are not nearly as strong, don't last as long, and my OPKs are only positive for 24 hours. This cycle they were positive pm, and following am.
I'm really not sure what is going on, but at this point I would like to think that the crazy symptoms I'm experiencing are just some kind of hormonal imbalance. If AF has not arrived in a few days, my OB wants me to come in to rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. I guess scar tissue and mirena removal both increase the risks, and hcg isn't always high enough for a home pregnancy test to detect.
I wish you all the best of luck with your current cycles. I'll check back in when I feel up to reading the pages I've missed out on. Sending love, hope and baby dust.
Hi! My test said Not Pregnant this morning. I kinda knew this would be the outcome being 10 dpo. I used CBS which I've heard aren't very sensitive at all. I'm running out today and will pick up something more sensitive and hope it can at least pick up a faint positive:)
Cheering you on Naci!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Thanks so much Mommy2apples :) I feel I'm definitely not out yet. 7 days till next af so I will stay hopeful till it shows:bigsmile:
Ttc - I m so sorry that you are going through this. I know the limbo is the worse. I pray u get an answer soon. It's not crazy to feel the symptoms that you are feeling. Believe me we all do that each cycle. I would say it's just your first cycle of ttc. Give it sometime. My cycles have been perfect every month. I was charting for a few months with opks before ttc yet it took me 3 cycles to conceive. Also, may I suggest buying a bbt. It really takes the guess out of the whole ttc system since u can figure out when u O. I bought it in my 2nd cycle and I am so glad I did. Don't worry until u have to. I used to get bummed each cycle I won't conceive but I made a deal with myself to not freak out until I have had 5-6 cycle of trying. Each month I won't get a bfp, I thought that was my chance to improve my sway even more. Looking at the bright side helps. You are so young and 🤞 that you get your little blue bundle soon. Until then we are here to cheer you on. Hugs.
Nacire - booo Not pregnant. I have heard though that they aren't too sensitive. 🤞🤞🤞 for you dear. Keep us posted.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
That's the way to think Nacire. Come on bfp. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Thank you Skyblue!
Ttc you are always welcome here weather or not your in the tww one thing I learned when joining gd your welcome in any group were all here to cheer each other on and we all need support in every stage of ttc and pregnancy. Please stay so we can help with any questions and cheer you on! I would also suggest as sky said getting a bbt and temping vaginally. Was it your husband that was only giving you two attempts per cycle? Temping won't help much as far as attempts but once you get your pos opk temping will confirm O.
NACIRE can't wait for he coming tests I think the most sensitive we can buy otc is frer! Gl!!
