Taytum- Get to BDing :D :D
Maiden- I LOVE your chart. I so hope this is it for you!!
AFM- I'm almost at CD1. I had to change the past two days to spotting as my flow never started but I think tonight is the night. So everything crossed for CD1, a short wait for O, and a BFP!!!!
Maiden- your chart looks amazing! So different from all the others! I'm getting excited for you! I think you should test at 9DPO. I know it is early, but with your short LP, I would be tempted! I have good feelings about this..... [emoji8]!

Taytum yay now BD at least 3 times in the next 24 hours! I may be a little psychic but in this case I think my charting experience is responsible. ;)
Junie, thanks! Wishing your dream comes true this next cycle.
XX, I've actually been testing since yesterday with SurePredict 10mius. Nothing so far but no evaps either.
Probably ridiculous but I just ordered a light therapy box as studies have shown that doing a bright light treatment before O might shorten your cycles. I'm grasping at straws but it can't hurt my sway and I can't handle waiting 6 weeks just to get AF again. It will arrive on Wed and I hope it helps.
Maiden- I'm sure you'll be seeing two lines in a day or two!!!
I hope you're right! Btw I've used several different light boxes extensively for my SAD but unfortunately they never brought O forward for me (nothing OTC that I've tried does :( ). But your cycles are significantly longer so maybe they'll help you. Can you not get clomid?
I'll give the BD 3x a shot...got a BD in tonight, tomorrow morning and hopefully tomorrow night! Trying not to get too excited; I'd hate for this to be a false surge. But will cover my bases regardless!
Junie: if the light box works let me know! I'd do anything to shorten my cycles as well! Hopefully O comes soon for you and this cycle we're all April "showered" with BFPs! [emoji4]
I agree, Maiden, this cycle looks so different from any past ones. I really, really, really hope this is the one!
XX - can't wait to find out what you're having as well! I know still a little time out, but so exciting following you on this journey!

Taytum- I hope you won't need it! I was looking at long cycle positive charts on FF and that gave me hope! I've got everything crossed for you, you patient lady. Plus at least you know in May you'll be able to go forward with some help if it comes to that.
Maiden- my cycles aren't long enough and I'm sure he would say it takes awhile for the body to regulate after miscarriage. If this coming cycle is longer instead of shorter I'll consider it though. Can't wait to see your temp today!
OK Maiden and ladies do you have any ideas what could be going on with me? No bleeding today, not even spotting, no CM, cervix not in SHOW, OPKs from the last days look like this
Attachment 24622
Back pains and the like as though AF should be coming, and BFNs on ICs. This cycle is really going to drive me crazy!

Maiden- That looks like a gorgeous implantation dip to me!
I know a lot of ladies get LH surges right before AF. It's also possible to O with no fertile signs whatsoever especially in long cycles so I'd attempt just in case.
Today I temped earlier than usual (and yesterday I temped really late, so both temps are likely a little off) but even so these fluctuations are driving me crazy. Fluctuations are normal fpr me in the LP but not like this! Also I've been wearing a wool sweater to bed this past week but I was so hot last night I took it off and just slept in a t shirt.
Junie I am so sympathetic - a loss really does scramble things up doesn't it? I hope the other ladies know how to advise you.
Tatum - fantastic! I really hope this is IT for you. Good luck with the bd marathon! ;)
Maiden- I think I will attempt- if anything sometimes that seems to bring on AF if she is right about to come. It is hard on the one hand I want this cycle to be over but on the other hand I can't help but grasp at any hope that I still have "a chance" this cycle. I just love your chart. I really think you will get a BFP tomorrow :) :) :)
Thanks tm29- I promise I am normally really level-headed and easy going but there is something about TTC that does make me a bit crazy. I just can't help but want to analyze everything and "figure it all out" when really I just need to be patient!
Maiden how do you interpret the heat last night? Hormonal change of some kind and poss pregnancy symptom?
I just keep waiting for that BFP Maiden!
Junie: seriously TTC turns you into a whole new person! I feel like this winter someone should have checked me into the looney bin, but with spring now and the nice weather and almost end of school I have my mind off it a little more. Trying to stay busy! And I hate that about docs...so hard to be patient on something like TTC!
Tm: how are things going your way?
Another temp dip today! Hopefully this is good!

Junie- either AF is about to show or you didn't O earlier and are getting ready to now. FX for you honey! I hate how our bodies do crazy things when we pay attention to them!

I think I have to join in at this point, was a silent lurker for a little while and WOW a lot of exciting news!
Congratulations to all who got their BFP!
Maiden, I really really hope it is your month!
T29, nice to see you here. Don't be upset about the weight and the muscles, I feel the same way not fitting to any clothes, we just have to get over it.
This month looks like a month of a weird charts, LOL!
Mine was all over the place. I don't temp, just use several brands opks at the same time and they all were at least one day different.
Anyway, we bd every other day until I got a nice pos at wondfos on Friday and were able to squeeze 3 attempts in 24 hours:)
But, I don't feel any ovulation pains or any other symptoms, the only symptom is that I don't have CM anymore.
Do you ladies think one more attempt tonight will be good idea just to be on the safer side?
Is there any other ways to say that you've ovulated, except tempting? My opk was positive for one day if it means anything:)
sc1411, I would keep BDing every other day until you are passed the latest CD you typically O. That's what I did when conceiving both of my boys. My CM then was really reliable and would always dry up after O occurred. When swaying for a DD for DH, my CM was a useless tool for me!
FX for you and here is some of my rambunctious and snugly with mama blue baby dust!
[emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]
If I have any left, DH will be pissed [emoji6]! All of you boy swayers have a special place in my heart! I love being a boy mom and hope and [emoji120]you get to experience how awesome it is!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
XX, thank you for your kind words and support!
Did you always have O pains?
Thanks so much for the blue dust XX! [emoji170][emoji92]did you always dry up right after O? I feel like when I woke up to temp I felt really slippery, but now I feel dry. Is it possible i temped before O? This journey is straight crazy!
Hopefully we got enough bd in just in case. I'll try to make sure we get another one tonight but DH is definitely not a marathon kind of guy! [emoji6]
Edit: this is what Wondfo looks like today with SMU http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...549b3d8325.jpg

sc1411, no way to know you've Oed without temping. I'd definitely keep BDing if you can just in case.
tm, I'm often hot during my LP so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Still no hint of anything on my SP tests or other cheapies at 8DPO today.
I think it's very possible I'm not pregnant but going off the diet and eating so much more fat, nutrients and meat recently is just boosting my hormone levels & quickly. I've always been super sensitive to hormonal changes.
Thinking of going out for dinner tonight...but not sure if restaurants are open here on Easter?
Maiden- most restaurants here in Hamburg are open, in a small town maybe not...
Taytum- You did good! Don't worry I got both boys with EOD timing :)
I don't remember O pains before having both boys, but my CM was extremely reliable for pinpointing O with both boys, swaying girl not so much. I always dried up to sticky or creamy right after O and only watery during the secondary estrogen sometimes.
I think you're pregnant Maiden! I'm not giving up hope [emoji6]!

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! Best thing we can do now is just try to BD again tonight and hope for a temp change tomorrow!
I agree with XX, Maiden! At only 8dpo it's still early and I am still holding out you're getting a BFP soon!
I still to always feel cramping/pains throughout cycle so the best advice I had came from Maiden - don't even rely on the pain. That was the moment when I stopped worrying about it! [emoji4]

Good Luck to everyone & Maiden I'm in total agreement with the ladies above :fx: :pray:
It just dawned on me I will be I the 2WW next month :D
Sc1411 definitely go with one more attempt tonight & keep up EOD just to be sure :)
Good Luck :)
Thanks ladies! 'if this cycle will not work out I will temp for sure.
We had one more attempt, now DH is hiding in the corner:hide:
True, what is EOD?
Lol sc1411 @ :hide:
EOD every other day :)
Sc-good luck catching the egg!!
TayTum-blue dust to you!
Ok gals, we BD on Friday night. I've had EWCM yesterday and today. Had an almost positive on a FR ovulation stick at noon and just got a +OPK on an IC...would you girls BD tomorrow (Monday) 3 days since last BD. Or hold out until Tuesday (4 days). My concern is last month, I Oed on Monday and BD on Monday and didn't get pregnant. So, I'm afraid waiting until Tuesday will be too late. Yet, I don't want to undermind my entire sway by BDing too early. Any thoughts? Should we BD on Tuesday morning and "split the difference"? Or is that too risky?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh god . Test again tonight and 2-3 times tomorrow and based on the opk result decide whether bd on Tuesday would be late or not.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think I personally would wait until Tuesday night to BD so it is a true 4 days. But it is a really tough call.
Thanks girls, kinda wish that I didn't test..just stuck to the plan. Augh!

Times like these, flip a coin and go with it!i did that this cycle and got my BFP! Bding at positive opk wasn't working and Bding every four days wasn't working. I was nervous about going every three days, even though Atomic had mentioned it cycles ago. Tossed a coin, and we went for Bding every three days! I didn't look back! I'm glad I went for it, because I couldn't get a positive opk this cycle! I kept temping to confirm O, and I was going to ditch temping too!
Point of all this is flip a coin if you can't decide and stick with it! It helps the stress and you get an immediate answer, plus you can blame the coin if it doesn't work [emoji6]! Lol!

smarston3- I would BD today. I think it can be so hard to know when your body is actually ovulating and I wouldn't want to miss out on a chance this cycle. Maybe compromise by BDing in the afternoon or evening. If you take an OPK this morning and it is lighter I would BD right away. Every 4 isn't worth it if your timing is so off that you can't get pregnant.
Ugh. OPK dark and definitely positive again today. Last night I had terrible cramps but no AF. I'm wondering if the high dosage of cortisone steroids is messing things up more than I thought it would. Well we BD last night so at least I don't have to worry about that for a few days and hopefully something happens with my temps to make everything more clear soon!
smarston, I would BD tomorrow. I'm actually the one who came up with the every 3 days idea and it's been working well so far.
I woke up to spotting, severe AF cramps and another temp drop. I just hope AF comes tomorrow not today bc I really can't handle an 8 day LP. At this point I'm convinced I'm not meant to have children with DF, and maybe that's a blessing in disguise. Wish me luck finding someone else!
Smarston - good luck! I don't have any advice BDing for a girl, but I agree with XX, I use a coin to make almost all of my tough decisions! Usually if I do that, I know which way I want it to land ahead of time. [emoji6]
Junie - good luck! Hopefully today your temps are a lot clearer! I wish things were more predictable; that would help with swaying as well!
Maiden - ugh!! This hurt my heart to wake up and read this. Even after such a great chart. I agree through - from what we know about DF, this may be a sign that you were meant to look elsewhere. Are you taking a break this next cycle? I'll be thinking about you, take care of yourself today, and do something for you!
Got another BD in last night with a clearly negative OPK around 6:30 last night. Didn't have a great, convincing temp spike today though. We probably won't be able to BD again until tomorrow, but I hope temps keep going up!

Oh Maiden! I'm hoping AF stay away! I agree with you- I don't think DF is good for you. I've been wondering, since he stresses you out so much and has emotional outbursts if that is preventing a BFP. I know I should have gotten knocked up a few times with past BF's, but I didn't because the relationship was so destructive/dysfunctional that my body just couldn't perform normally. Although I never TTCed with any of them, I just had close calls or $h!t I forgot the pill moments!
I wish you luck finding someone else....or a surprise BFP this cycle [emoji8]!
