Hi ladies. CD 6 for me. Nothing much to report except I've fixed my low progesterone. Pre O temps are around 98 and post well above 98, so I'm happy. Now if I could fix my low libido I'd be good. I do not want to DTD at any other time than close to O. DH has caught wind of it and is not a happy camper. Any suggestions... [emoji20] I don't know what has happened to my sex drive??? Please. Come. Back.
Libido is a tough one because it is related to two major things. Your psychology and your hormone balance. Is it possible that you guys are stuck in a rut? How is your relationship with DH, any unsolved issues between you two? How is your self image? Those things matter alot in the sex department.
Then there's hormones. Do you chart? How long is your LP? Are you very dry most of your cycle?
As for me, meh. I got a BFN this morning and I have been feeling emotional and angry since last night because on the day of O, we waited until late evening to BD. I KNEW I should have insisted on AM, but the OPK wasn't so clear. I had a strong gut feeling that this was it, but I ignored it and THAT is what is getting to me. Now I'm afraid my BD pattern isn't boy friendly u_u even though we did EOD and 5 attempts in my fertile window (2 before, 1 on O day and 2 after). I am having difficulty getting past this anger and a stirred the pot with DH last night since he wasn't being cooperative that day.
I know what you mean! It's been rough for me these past few months.Quote:

So today's temp was up higher but FF still hadn't put cross hairs. I played around with it and if I have another day of high temp (which I expect to) FF thinks I "O" yesterday on CD18. The last time we DTD was CD15.
If we DTD again tonight is it to late to catch the egg?!!!!
This could be what happened last cycle bc we stopped DTD after I thought I Ovulated

Thanks for your reply Robin & Cosmosis. You hit the nail on the head about my libido being attached to my self image & our issues. I could lose about 10 lbs and it's pissed me off that I haven't. I don't feel as attractive and of course getting older (41). I also don't know if I'm completely on board with TTC. Ugh...life as an adult [emoji31]sometimes sucks!
My LP is 14 days. I typically have a 28 day cycle. 5th month TTC. No dryness issues. Just my low progesterone initially, but I've gotten that under control.
Cosmosis - I agree with Robin, it's early still for the test to be conclusive. "Stirring the pot" is only going to make things more difficult. DH did DTD so I think he deserves credit. It's hard to perform on demand month after month (or so I'm told).
Robin - hopefully FF will give you cross hairs tomorrow. I'd DB if I were you to be safe, unless it'll mess up your sway.
Ya I'm deff going to. It's e4d today if we BD but I'm hoping it will be enough! Wishing I BD last night now. As the months go on.. it becomes more important to us to just have a baby. Not certain gender. Our DD needs a playmate. She's turning 2 in less than 2 months. I wanted to bring another child into the world before she's 3!Quote:

Ugh!!

Oh I completely understand, and there isn't much I can say to convince you that those 10Lbs don't matter. I think you should focus on resolving issues, that is the bigger problem. Men are really not picky about our bodies the way we are, that's for sure. Maybe once you guys clear things up, you can have a heart to heart and he can give you some reassurance.Quote:

About the bfn, yeah, I know lol. I tested 8dpo also :giggle: I have a pretty thorough symptom list and I really don't need a test to tell me what is, however, I still want a confirmation to make it official and congratulate DH. Whether it sticks or not, I'm fairly certain the egg was caught lol. I know he's been a good sport and did very well considering my demands. I'm so ungrateful sometimes u_u I have a terrible time accepting when people don't follow schedules and go through fully with commitments made. I think that's the bigger problem here.
Robin - have you tried removing the wonky temps? If you already O'd, then yes it would be too late to catch the egg, BUT, if you haven't (and you have to assume you haven't until you know for sure), you still need to go every 3-4 days.
Yes it's ONLY then FF applies the ovulation date at all. I put my symptoms those days to "fever" and it calculates.Quote:

Well, eventually a pattern will form on your chart anyway, but its a very long process. This has been the case for me of all months lol! Now, if I remove or keep the wonky temps, O day remains the same. Keep BD on schedule.
