Maxim I'm going to have to eat my hat and let go of my personal feeling you more likely oed day after pos opk as your temps indeed appear to be supporting a day of pos opk o. It still is possible (day after pos) so when it comes to testing time know you may be a day ahead but atm I'd actually say you are indeed 4dpo as per your chart. Your temps haven't done at all what I thought they would pattern wise 😂 but in saying that I believe anything different from the norm can only be a good sign of things to come 😀 So if you are indeed 4dpo then you definately only have one attempt!

LMSM-love it! Can't wait to hear how you choose to share news with DH!!
Iwant4-yay for a 3 week break!! That's the perfect time for some relaxation and baby making 🤣[emoji12][emoji854]
Iwant4 - I'm excited for you and really have my fingers crossed for you!!!
Lola, yes DH's birthday is Saturday and Father's Day is Sunday. Would be so amazing to be celebrate with a BFP. What are you guys doing for your hubby's?? My girls are making a "restaurant" for DH and cooking him his favorite foods, but outside of that, I'm always at a loss on what to do for him!! Need ideas! :)
Pbn, I've never heard "eat my hat", I love it!!! Here they say "eat my words"...it's so fun to see the different variations! :) Okay, so you think that I O'd CD19? Honestly, my temps are much, much lower than I expected. It's strange...maybe that is good? I swear last cycle's temps looked amazing, but that was a BFN for me. So who knows?! I had awful cramping and bloating on night of CD19, which is when we were going to have our 2nd attempt but I didn't feel great. I wonder if it happened that evening and then temp went up by the morning? If so, that would mean that I got O-1 attempt about 24 hours before O, right? So would the 2nd attempt the next evening (CD21) not be viable?
I am having really bad bloating the last few days. I know that it's way too early for any symptoms, but I usually have a flat tummy and it's no fun right now. Could that be a sign of something?! ;) I'm going to start testing 8dpo, so excited for Friday to roll around!!!
Max-my temps were all 98-98.2 this cycle, which seemed lower than usual! Then, went up slightly to 98.3 around BFP time. Fx that this is a sign for you!!! Your Father's Day plans sound perfect! Not sure what we're doing since my dad lives in the same town. We often celebrate with him doing a pool party/cookout or something. I need ideas too!!! It does sound to me like you got 1 attempt!
Oh awesome lola!! I know I've already asked you 100 times, but can you please repost your chart again for this cycle?
Max it seems like the Bfps come when we aren't expecting it but I do believe I had symptoms way early. My boobs never got unsore after I Od and 5 dpo I seen like microscopic [emoji23] amount of spotting like for real no one would notice unless your scoping out every piece of tp. I had globs of creamy cm and at 7dpo I had such bad dizzy spells during Sunday dinner my grandma honestly asked if I was pregnant! [emoji15] this was all before I got a Bfp
[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15) 🤰 and dreaming [emoji177](18)
Max-sure! I was concerned that my temps seemed to be lower than previous cycles! Not sure if there was a correlation, but ended up being THE cycle. Fx sooo hard that this is YOUR time! Everything is lining up so nicely for you with the well-timed attempt, DH's bday & Father's Day!!!!! My early signs were def the cramping like AF, but I was only 7dpo and then sneezed all day for like 3 days in a row around 9dpo lol. 🤧
Here's my chart:

Max-the cycle before that DIDN'T work out looked like this. I thought it was looking good with higher temps.

Ash, interesting on the boobs! Mine have felt exactly like when I was nursing my girls - full and achy. I've had that before in BFN cycles, so it's probably hormone related for me, but interesting to hear you say that!!
Thanks for reposting Lola! So I guess we both had O-1 for attempts. Do you think my O+1 attempt counts? I'm kind of kicking myself for BD that night, but what is done is done! ;)
I had the dizzy spells too. With my first daughter I randomly fainted (this happened just a few days before af was due) and when I called my dh at work, his boss over heard and told him, "She's pregnant" and he didn't even know we were ttc. I waited until af was a day late as not to get my hopes up for nothing, but sure enough it was positive. So maybe I'm crazy, but I think there must be something to the dizziness around conception.. My OB said my fainting was likely due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.Quote:

I swear everyone around me is getting pregnant! Took my daughter to ballet class and there was another mom talking to her friends about finding out she's having a boy. It took EVERYTHING in me not to ask her about her BD patterns, diet, etc. and I don't even know her. HA omg my life lately makes me laugh....
Ttc & Ash-I get dizzy spells now! I sometimes get up too fast, feel light-headed & have to sit back down.
Max-my bb's started having that heavy nursing feeling closer to my BFP & feel sore off & on now. Seriously lol at you wanting to talk to that momma. I always notice preggo moms with 2 of the same gender & I always want to ask SO bad what they're having. My co-worker is expecting her 4th boy & said her DH wasn't that excited. She told him "honey, you know it's your fault." I wanted to talk to her about swaying so bad, but bit my tongue. No need to for me to go there! If it works for me, then I'll share with others IRL [emoji4]
Also Max-We did have similar O-1 attempts! I believe that resulted in my BFP! Based on my slow temp rise, I fully believe that my O+2 attempt would've been very unlikely. Honestly I believe that your O-1 attempt is your 1 attempt and your O+1 is very unlikely. Check out this chart I found! Looks like you BD'd on the perfect day. FX!!!!!!

I haven't had a temp spike yet, but rather a slow rise instead. What does all this possibly mean for me? Cd14-15 I felt ovulation pain and twitches in my stomach. All day yesterday I felt extremely tight, heavy and bloated in my stomach. My CM changed cd14 to creamy from watery which I had the whole previous week. My hubs left on Cd13 on a business trip, but we got an attempt in that morning. I'm still pretty hopeful :)
Nacire we'll know more when we see tomorrows temps. You may see a spike in the morning or maybe you have a slow rise and oed cd14/15? Its impossible to tell until we have more temps I'm afraid :( The vaginal temping hasn't brought your temps into a more readable pattern as I'd hoped but it will get there! Tomorrow morning though or later today if you get a chance, can you check your temp vaginally twice in a row? Just to rule out a faulty thermometer :) Going by your description of pain, twitches, heavy bloated and change in cm I truly believe you have oed so your attempt prior to dh leaving is perfect 👌😀

Ttcblue are you charting? If so can you post a link to your chart?
Maxim I'm so excited to see what happens the next few days! Friday just cant come fast enough!!!!!!!
Mummy2boys cant wait to see your temp spike tomorrow fx fx fx!!!
Yay for first day of clomid Mummy2apples!! Getting closer to poa opk time!!

Pbn3 - Thank you so much for your response. You'd think after 3 kiddos I'd be less clueless when it comes to all this stuff. I never worried with all that stuff before now. I’m thinking I O’d on cd14-15, but Fertility Friend isn’t picking up O. I normally temp twice in a row, because it always feels so off sometimes. I just checked again twice in a row and got 98.1 both times. I also did an early OPK today and it’s negative.
Ff will allocate crosshairs once you enter some more temps. It *may take longer than usual due to the higher/erratic pre o temps but I honestly think it'll end up allocating to cd14 or 15 at this stage and that fits with your opk and cm observations :) So I'll say 'welcome to the 2ww 😀🎉' and get your hpts ready!!!

Pbn3 - I really really want that :) Thank you so much!! Hpts are ready to start testing whenever it's go time. I also have a clear Blue Digi for later :)
Woohoo!!! Cant wait nacire!

How does this look? Should I have fiber?
I am yet to add dinner....
Have shared with Atomic too

Where's the 26.4g fat from? If you're wanting to use fibre as a sway tactic then take it once a day just before your highest fat meal for the day. Oh and you'll have to make sure your dinner is a minimum of 500 calories, preferably 700 if possible :) which should be easy doable as you have the fat and protein to spare to have something substantial!

So had my first attempt today... lol just in a hurry to get started!! :) I know today's attempt didn't mean anything. Lol going to get some alcohol pads so I can begin temping again tomorrow too.

Morning/evening ladies!
Mommy2apples – woohoo, get that road on the show! It is super exciting regardless, and means you ae that step closer to the actual attempt time, and then the 2ww - :D
PBN – 2 more sleeps until your appointment – how are you feeling?
Ash – I missed your birthday I think so HB hon, what a great one that it is, carrying your precious bundle inside you :D
Max – haha – you should have asked her! It’s tempting to know what others have done just to reassure one self though, isn’t it? ;)
I promise you will be preggers very soon too!
Lola – always there with reassuring words ;) Hopefully we can join you and all the other lovely pregnant ladies in the ddg if you will have us even if dds would be more early March by now ;)
TTCblue – is it this week that it is O time and attempt time for you?
I want4 – I know nothing about what is acceptable re pink sways but low-cal – high sugar/carb/low protein was definitely my diet with both my girls..FX!!! ;)
Nacire – you totally can be hopeful :D your temp will likely continue to move upwards confirming O soon ;)
So emotional today – it’s just been a morning of chaos, spilt milk and being late… and I was just snappy at everything and everyone, apologised to the girls before leaving them but man I feel terrible and just want to cry my eyes out :(
Anyhoo..this morning DD2 whinged in her sleep which woke me up – and not sure whether she would then wake up I took my temp in case I had to get up shortly after - though it was early 5ish (instead of 6 ish) – the temp was 36.82 – then having not gotten up but not truly gone back to sleep either, I took my temp again at 6.10 – 36.93 – which temp would you use? I’m thinking the one at 5am and it will likely come up as an empty circle on the chart.
Would you concur that is the most accurate way to have my temp for today?
Hmmm Lmsm if you didn't roll around too much during temping and re-temping at 6.10am I'd go with the closer to usual temp or at least split the difference :)
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk
Yah, I guess I could split – how does 36.88 at 5.50am sound haha still a noticeable drop though :(
LMSM-can't wait for you & others to get your BFPs & absolutely join us in the ddg!!!!
Nacire-did you switch from oral to vag temping this cycle? It does look like maybe the start of your spike on cd15-interested to see what your temp does over the next couple of days!
Mommy-yay for getting a head start on your BD plan!
Thanks LMSM! Hopefully we can all get our bfps in July!! Would love that and join them all in the ddg!
So sorry you are having a bad day girl! Hopefully tomorrow is much better!

Sounds great and don't worry about the dip! Temps have to level out at some stage. These first 3-5 temps are just to verify o, its the ones from 6dpo onwards that can make things interesting. Or you can even have a normal looking chart that ends in a bfp like Lola's :)

Lmsm, we all have those days! I've had quite a few lately!! Hang in there...
Yay mommy for your attempt!! What day are you now?
Lola, that's such an interesting chart!! I wonder why O+12 works. I never understood how people could figure out the timing on that!?

Thanks hon - I love how reassuring you are! :) I actually just checked my chart when I got my last bfp (DD2) - Attachment 36575 and it did have a dip early on before rising again and a secondary dip (likely implantation) – so FX it follows the same pattern :DQuote:

LMSM - I’m sure hoping to see a difference tomorrow :) I have those nights with my DS. Difference is he sleeps with me because he nurses throughout the night. I can honestly say I don’t get a good night sleep most nights. I feel like I’m tossing and turning all night long ugh :(
Lolabelle - I did switch to vaginal temping this cycle. As crazy as it still might look. I think it looks a whole lot better now that I switched :)
Me too Naci!! Maybe we all will have the March babies!
Naci! My ds2 nursed until he was 15 months I can definitely relate about the no sleep back then!

Mommy2apples - My Ds will be 2 on July 2nd:worry: and it doesn't seem like its coming to an end anytime soon. I never imagined it lasting this long. I just keep telling myself these moments don't last long it's really just a phase. These are the moments I will cherish and remember. I just try and enjoy the sleepless nights. March babies would be the best!!
Definitely he won't be Little for long!!

Nacire I nursed DD2 until she was 17 months, and only because I kindly nudged her that way – she was boobie obsessed, and was not settling with anything but that and had me up at night so much I just could not physically function anymore...she would likely have continued on if it hadn’t been for me suggesting we gently wean. She now is obsessed with having her milk bottle (she often will ask for it in the middle of the night and cry and cru when I say when she has slept bt not now – at like 10pm/2ametc lol) – that and she has taken a dummy (hate it wish I could toss it) and uses some little towels as comforters – drags them everywhere and has to have like 10 in her bed lol her sister self-weaned at around 12 months, and never was big on comforters – she always has been such an independent little girl so this sookie koala baby (who is adorable) is a big change for me haha but you're right let's enjoy their baby phase while it lasts because it goes sooo fast!
She will be 2 at the end of September ^^
That sounds like me too! I constantly talk to my family members and friends who are mothers to compare diet and such and if they think I'm silly for swaying, I genuinely think they are for not giving it a chance.Quote:
