Jam-packed January 2WW Thread

Thank you ladies! It is very nice to have a place to go to and be understood! <3

My temps are even higher today, I was sweating all night and the constant bathroom visits are messing up my sleep. I JUST recovered from insomnia a couple of months ago so this kind of sucks (but if its due to a bean, I'll take it haha).

I'm unsure if my hopes are high or low, they are just neutral LOL. I feel alot better emotionally this morning. Not sure if I'm going to test tomorrow morning or not. I feel I should give AF a few more days and just keep an eye on my temps. If this isn't my month, I won't be buying any tests until AF is missing. That's the more sane thing to do haha.

Your chart is looking great Cosmosis, Fingers crossed for you.

I'm Xing everything for you Cosmosis! I agree with Tfahn, your chart is looking fab!!

I'll be stalking for updates!!

Hey, all!

My Ovulation Chart

Cosmosis...-little devil on your shoulder- tesssttt!!

LOL! Well..... Atomic is suggesting I may have O'd on CD or 20/21st, very close to what you were suggesting. IF this is the case, it explains the BFN's. I just have to wait until after AF is way late. I'm either 15DPO or 11DPO. I'll try my best to hold off until the weekend, especially since I'm feeling crampy. My daytime temp is 99.1F ha.ha.ha. I really do not like the 2WW.

FX so hard for you Cosmosis! The 2WW is such a mind f$&k isn't it, haha!

Keep us updated! I'm living vicariously through you, since I'm so far away from testing. I'm either 3 or 4dpo!

My Ovulation Chart

Good day ladies :)

Well I caved and tested this morning. Still BFN. I may or may not see a shadow of a line, but it isn't acceptable this far in the game. I'm becoming more convinced that A) I O'd WAY later, like CD21 OR my body is getting rid of all traces of hcg in my urine since they wouldn't be very high right now anyway.

Why do I believe this? Because I've used hCG for things other than fertility and I did it for several months in the last few years, unlike trigger shots which are used once per month in high doses.

I think my body learned how to efficiently get hCG out of my system quickly and efficiently, at least the small amounts. I hope that makes sense. So what this means is that it won't be available in my urine for a while, until levels are consistently higher than the doses I've used for my shenanigans.

I'm going to test my cervical fluid tonight. I put a diva cup in there to collect it for the rest of the day. Apparently, the hCG found in cervical fluid is synthesized by syncytiotrophoblast cells, so it is processed differently than the hCG found in urine.

I'm quite obviously bored and growing impatient. I'll let you ladies know how this goes LOL. I'm down to my last 3 IC's and I'm not ordering more, although the dollar store is down the street *sigh*. I'm sure they think I'm a weirdo by now.

I'm quite annoyed because I made sure to be absolutely regular in the last 5 years lol. I quit smoking, I turned my health around, lost a ton of weight and I've charted. Everything was perfect to go for an egg and now this. :| :| :|

Oh yeah and by "a while" I mean like another week. That's too long for me to sit here "patiently" and not do anything. Blood draws are not an option for me any time soon. Womp.

Cosmosis i get your frustration...i think atomic has very good reason to think you ovulated on cd 20-21...your chart looks pretty similar to my chart in july where i geared up to O and then didnt, and then did 3-5 days later. Your temps are still high so by all means you arent out yet..but i would think even at 11 DPO you would have a BFP by now..everyone is different though and there seem to be quite a few blue babies that take longer to pop up on a pee stick so we will see :)

Well, something's gotta give. I feel out of it the last 3 days. I feel a bit lightheaded on and off and had heart palpitations this morning. I have to charge my fit bit to monitor my heart rate. I am officially late today, and if I O'd on the 21st then I have 4 more days to go until I'm late...again. ha!

I'm still very hopeful for you Cosmosis! I agree and think you are not out of the woods yet!

My Ovulation Chart

Thank you XX :)

I said the same exact thing 2 weeks ago. U_U I'm one of those people that nothing ever works for with all the exceptions loooooool.It makes room for innovation and creativity though, so I can't complain. I'm not surprised I'm being made to wait alot more than 2 weeks haha!

Fingers crossed for you XX and Cosmosis.

Another temp dip this morning, I just want to get crosshairs on my chart already! :) On my OPK this morning my test line was actually darker then the control so I am not giving up hope yet that I will ovulate soon. I think maybe skip BD tonight since we had 3 nights in a row and then BD tomorrow night?

Would you call the below OPK positive? This was from Monday, trying to figure out if Monday or Today was my first positive OPK

Attachment 34439

@tfan, I'm jaded when it comes to OPK's, mine never got darker or as dark as the control line at any point lol. Are you swaying?


Alright, so I tested my CM and I actually got something on the IC for once. These don't evap either, I've gone through 12 and all are stark white. Check it:

http://i66.tinypic.com/qpjuk9.jpg

Dunno what to think. Just amusing myself at this point. XD

Tfahn, i dont think i would personally call that positive...I dont know if i still have pictures of my OPK when i ovulated or not i'll check it out for those of you struggling to pinpoint O....But my first "o" the line didnt get as dark as the control line but i had all the other signs...my ACTUAL O (3-5 days later cant remember) the test line was so dark it was ridiculous and even i was like "holy moly am i popping the egg RIGHT this second!?" lol

Cos i dont see even a hint of a line :( i dont want to dash your hopes either but i cant tell if its just the cheapies you are using or what but i 'maybe' saw something a few days ago with those tests but on those they do look stark white.. the line that is playing tricks on you on the new ones seems to be a dye run, which happens even in the nicer tests..i remember a lot of first responses at one point got recalled i think due to bad dye runs where you couldnt get accurate results..just to put SOME hope back in the equation. If you did O on cd 20-21, when is the last time you DTD around that time?

XX-- That is one of the prettiest charts i have seen in a long while and i know why you are getting your hopes up with it..cant say i blame you either ;)

I think it's almost positive yes!.
If you're swaying boy this sounds like a great plan.

Cos
I do see a line but shouldn't it be pink too? All these tests confuse me.

As for me..
I am 9dpo today. Testing this morning but I think I getting line eyes. It looks like nothing and yet something. I feel like I'm loosing my mind now. Af is due tomorrow but FF changed that date 4 days later bc I ovulated late according to it. We will see. I've never been past Cd30.
Last night I had horrific cramps along with sweats. Couldn't sleep bc of it. Temps are still up though.

My chart so far

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Chart is looking promising!! :D :D

Fingers crossed for you Robin, Hopefully we all get our stickies this month!

This is my OPK from this morning, it's darker then control and turned almost positive almost right away so I know I am really surging at this point. I started out this journey wanting a DS but after 2 years and 3 CP's I would be over the moon for a sticky healthy baby, boy or girl. I'll see what DH says about BD tonight or tomorrow I guess, but I'm sure he could use a break at this point :) But we can't BD til after 10 pm in the evenings so I'm not sure if maybe tomorrow night will be to late to count for anything.

It's tough to get a photo of a line that s barely there, but as it dried it got a bit darker all the way through. I should at least have a chemical on its way out with all the BD lol. We BD'd every other day, then back to back on positive OPK and once on CD20 and once on CD21.

Cos (and anyone else about to test) This was my test this BFP when my hcg levels were 10-15

Attachment 34445

This was from a late O too so i thought i was 10-11 DPO or i wouldnt have tested..in reality i was 8-9 DPO as i later found out. Nobody is out until the fat lady sings but with your high temps cos and the negative tests either the tests are bad OR you ovulated MUCH later than you think lol..what brand are those tests? someone just posted in these forums the other day a bad batch of wondfo cheapies with the lot number to know they were bad

Hi! Thread crashing sorry to say I'm following tfahn!!! Where has your chart link gone lol??? Are you still charting? That's a super pos opk you posted last and so excited you're going to be in the 2ww!!!

10-15 blood levels?

I'm tempted to go get a couple of frers, but I'm gonna hold off until this coming wednesday, which makes me 7/8 days late for AF. So far my temp is holding at 98.3 or above for 8 days straight, I've never seen that in my history of charting lol. If it drops below at any point, I'm positive she'll be on her way. I'd rather spend that money on a box of good quality OPK's for next round if I am indeed out.

I hate to say this but, only time will tell.

Hi ladies!! I'm relatively new to this site, and just today found this thread! I'm 35, TTC #3 (DD1 is 6, DD2 is 5). Both of my girls were conceived first try (of course, I was a lot younger ;), but this little journey for #3 has been taxing, to say the least. I got off BCP 3 months ago...first month was anovulatory, second month we didn't try, so this is my first official month trying. Can you please take a look at my chart? Typically O around CD 21-25, but this month it looks like it could have been earlier. FF keeps moving my dates from CD 15-17, and honestly don't know if either is true. Is there any hope for me...stark white BFN's so far. :worry:

My Ovulation Chart

Attachment 34452

Yes because I had a history of infertility and just had a baby they got me in pretty fast 2 days later and my level was 20. Later found out I had a normal 24-48 HR doubling time and so it makes sense when I took that test and got my positive it was 10. The clearblue week indicator (1-2) was also positive which was my biggest shock to say the least. Their bare minimum for positive is 10.


Maxim- whenever I see spikes like that I have to wonder if you geared up to O on CD15 but then didn't as you did have a good jump seemingly on cd22 as well which is around the time you say you normally ovulate...the OPK you did on Cd 21 was that AM or PM test? did you have any other fertile signs those 2 days?

Thank you, Burakoam! I was starting to think the same thing, but there's so many variables here. I was really trying to take a laid back approach to this (which is SO opposite of my type A personality), and now I'm kicking myself for not being regimented enough with opk's, testing, temping at same times, etc. Could my opk really be positive on the 14th and then not O until CD22? I did the OPK's two times a day (around 11am and then again around 5pm). No other fertility signs...can you see this chart with more details better? https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/24dd4d

By the way, Burakoam - congrats on DD4! I know it was a sway opposite, but I'm the 3rd of 4 girls in my family and I can honestly tell you that is AMAZING! Your girls will have best friends built in forever. It's part of the reason that I'm swaying so heavily pink...I want the same for my DD's. I'm so jealous!! :heart:

It is possible maxim. My first positive OPK with this baby (DD4) was July 9th... I had EWCM and O pain and a solid smiley... by Sunday the OPK was negative my EWCM was gone and I was just really moody (which I now relate to my body being angry I didn't pop the egg when it tried lol) I started getting huge copious amounts of EWCM on the 12th though.. more than I ever had. (Keep in mind though I was swaying blue, and with a good pink sway you may not have that!) I ignored it throughout the day but I woke up in the middle of the night with bad O pain and so I took an OPK.. this was about 12 am wednsday the 13th..and it was positive. Not only was I floored but the line on the OPK was SO dark I then panicked thinking I was already ovulated that day and missed a window but tried to make the best of it.. good thing I did because even though I had a positive the Friday before and a positive wednsday I actually didn't ovulate until late Friday/Saturday after my SECOND positive OPK! (Confirmed with dating scan)I still think this is a crazy story to tell but important for others to know..not only can your O be delayed but then you can also O at the last possible second in the ovulation window.. so if an OPK had been positive for you on CD 21-22.. it's possible Egg didn't pop until cd 23-25. Which would mean your negatives are because you simply aren't enough DPO!

I feel like delayed O happens a lot to 'girl' moms maxim.. just from what I have seen on this site so far and my history of also ovulating late or delayed and late..so this is actually good for someone who swayed pink such as yourself and may also be why you have two other daughters.. and maybe DD3 on the way ;)

All you can do now is watch your temps and reset your DPO for curiosity sake and estimate when you should test for each possible day.. if You get a positive pregnancy test you can then in some form do the math to know when you really did ovulate :)

ETA I am specifically looking at your bloat on CD23... I was extremely bloated after my delayed O..come to find out (and I didn't know until I looked it up back then!!) some women who ovulate have the bloating right after especially those with a delayed or 'strong' egg pop

WOW!!! That's incredible!! So what was your BD timing when you finally O'd?

Okay you're giving me hope!!! Really wish I would have kept up with my OPK's to see if something similar happened to me!

Tuesday the 12th and Thursday the 14th.. I really thought I'd ovulate Thursday or early Friday.. I couldn't believe I didn't pop until Saturday but baby growth matched up as well as when she could finally be measured she was a Saturday baby. My hcg was excellent but they couldn't see her on an ultrasound wen I went in with "my" dates.. that's because I told them Thursday and then she was 2 days behind. I was floored to say the least and sort of knew at that point she was probably another girl. Some women can get boys with 2 day+ cut offs... I'm not one of them :( it's alright though.. DD3 seems happier about a sister anyhow.

That's so cool, and I can't tell you enough how amazing that will be (and how jealous I am!). Huge congrats to you!

My DD's are 6.5 and 5 and I was starting to worry about an age gap with a 3rd (since I'm not sure I can convince my DH to have a fourth!). Do all 3 DD's get along nicely?

Mine is a little different but i promise there is SOME light at the end of it, lol..my 11 year old and my 6 year old do not get along at all. They fight like cats and dogs. However i dont think this is the 'norm' for sisters..i know there is meant to be some disagreement but i believe mine have it extreme..but its a conflict in personalities. My oldest is more like me, and my middle daughter is more like my mother..and you should see how well WE get along LOL (which is NOT AT ALL)..so i believe thats why they are the way they are...

my 6 year old doesnt think much of my 15 month old..BUT its because my 15 month old is alot like my husband who DD2 does not like but DD1 adores. So likewise with that, my 10 year old is very very close to my 15 month old..she likes to help take care of her, play with her, and is just an awesome big sister. also DD3 ADORES DD2 even if the feelings are not mutual so there is also that.

I would have baby #4 sooner rather than later if i were you..but only because then if you get 4 DD's they each have their own playmate and close friend :) my gaps wouldnt be that big but after DD1 i really wasnt going to have anymore..then after DD2 i made SURE i wasnt going to have anymore and had clips put on...then i married my DH and he wanted Bio kids (of course) so i took them off...and now im doing it the way i would have done it had i wanted 20 kids lol...even though this is for sure my last as i just dont think i can mentally or physically do pregnancy anymore after this

Hi PBN3, good to see you around. Yes, still charting away, lol. How is everything going with you?

My chart link should still be in my signature but I'll add a screen shot of my chart incase you can't get to it.

Attachment 34455

CD30, no ovulation temp jump and still a positive OPK this morning. This is getting ridiculous :) We ended up BD'ing last night, with my OPK so positive yesterday I just couldn't pass so we will skip tonight most likely. Maybe it's an anovulatory cycle? I never had one of those before

Attachment 34456

If gender doesn't matter for you, just keep going EOD until you confirm O and after lol. I believe I was very stressed to get my 3 attempts in and wound up delaying my O by 5 days. I'm so glad we just kept the pattern going.
