March 2ww

Thanks smarston! I greatly appreciate the company.

Unfortunately yes, the green handled 'Wondfo' OPKs are indeed rip offs/fakes, and they are less sensitive, much lower quality (I dipped 4 sticks into the same urine and all the test lines looked different). If you got yours of amazon you should be able to get a refund. If you re-order more, make sure the seller has a medical sounding name. Also order from the Wondfo supplier with the most reviews/purchases. The best OPK brands you can buy in stores are FRER and CB digitals (NOT the Advanced). DollarTree OPKs are a bit sensitive but if you're having issues getting positives they might work well for you. Did you get true positive OPKs before 2 months ago? With which brand? How dark was the darkest OPK you got last month (test line % darkness of control line)? What time of day do you test?

I hope you see a nice big follie at your scan tomorrow. What CD do you usually O around?

sage, unfortunately I think only being sick at least a week before O sways pink. My symptoms appeared abruptly 2 days after O. I am hoping though that maybe being so sick will help with implantation.

I think you probably Oed on CD15 so we are O buddies or almost! (I think it's possible I Oed on CD19.) Looking at your cycle last month, if you Oed on CD14 your 1&2DPO temps were almost as flat. Except this cycle your initial temp shift is more dramatic, which I think is good.That is weird about your thighs. I wouldn't assume it's a bad sign, maybe it's a response to higher hormone levels and is actually a good sign?

Two of my boys dance, DS2 and DS3. DS2 started a preprofessional ballet school this year (the kind you audition for, ours has a 7 year program), so proud of him! I'm a ballet dancer too though obviously at my age just recreational, lol. We're all dancing at the same school since the school has adult ballet classes too.

DS3 is just in pre-ballet/creative movement for now, we'll see in a few years if he's interested enough to join the prepro program, he's a bit too young to tell if he'll stick with it.

And yeah my temp was fine too despite the time change....and FF says to just ignore the time shift and temp at your usual time anyways. I think it really matters more how many hours straight you sleep than anything else.

Totally agree that a good chunk of deep sleep matters more than temping at the exact same time! I temp at widely different times every day (so in my chart, the open circles mean I didn't sleep well, or I slept a lot more or less than usual, or I went into withdrawal from my meds, or I'm sick). Despite that I think my temps are pretty reliable.

Maiden, first time ever using OPK and I have never saw a +..shame about the wondfos but thanks for the info! Just bought a FRER kit..try to get some rest!

Sageviolet,
yes I did O during the fool moon, planning to test in the end of the next week:)

smarston, some women (myself included) don't ever or very rarely get positive OPKs. In 4 years of using 3 American brands and half a dozen European ones, I've only had 2 true positive OPKs. But I've learned what 'my positive' looks like - about 75-90% as dark as the control line, depending on the brand.

Honestly though I've had more luck with CB Advanced Digital OPK (when used very, very methodically), bc OPKs often don't give me enough warning to catch O with just one attempt. With the CBAD I get 4 days of High, then my Peak, and O the day after I Peak.

Thanks maiden! Hoping that my bloodwork tomorrow will give me some idea when I should get a positive. My RE is fully aware of my swaying and how we're attempting at positive surge. Hopefully, she'll let me know tomorrow when we think that will be. Got a negative on FRER this evening. Have to say, I like the POAS better then peeing in a cup! Hope you can get to a doctor tomorrow!

Maiden: that's crazy about the doctors there! Definitely get some antibiotics when you can - strep is nothing to mess around with! And yes, that's about as dark and I've seen them. It was that dark yesterday afternoon, last night, and this afternoon when I took the picture, but today around 6pm when I took one it was a lot lighter. Really hoping that's a good sign? DH and I BD'd today too, so I am really hoping for a temp rise.

I woke up this morning at my regular time regardless of the temp change! I guess that means tomorrow I'll have to see what the temp is, since tomorrow will be an adjustment.

Also, has anyone heard anything about egg quality O'ing after cd20? I'm thinking if no temp rise by next Monday I'll make another appt to check progesterone levels and see what OB recommends.

EDIT: okay, large drop today (even after waking up an hour/half earlier to check the time). Hoping for a rise/positive OPK soon! And in my dream last night I had a little boy! [emoji4]

Taytum, fx for a temp rise today!

Well this cycle's done then. Boooo. Big humongous temp drop and spotting already. Bah my LP is still sh!t at 9 days then, which pisses me the HELL off but it's been a super wonky weird cycle with the first one off meds so I'm not gonna freak out too much about it.

I doubt we had a great egg this month with the multiple false surges to even O, not a strong O at all really. A few things I am happy about - my LP temps were awesome! I've NEVER gotten such high temps ever, I looked back at all my previous charts and my LP temps were higher than all of them, including the pregnancy charts. This is especially impressive since I temped orally this cycle, and in past charts most of them were vag temps. Well disappointing of course, but that's probably good news from a progesterone production front.

The other thing I'm pleased about is that I didn't get the drops in temps I usually do the 1-2 days before AF shows up. So again, that's a plus on signs my progesterone levels should be good. But if the prog is good, why is my LP so crap still? I'm not pleased about THAT.

Thirdly, no PMS. I'm usually a BEAR in the 1-2 days before AF. And no bitchiness or rage this time. So that's got to be good right? I was a bit prone to tears for the whole LP but I didn't get the RAGE BITCH mode I usually do. DH is happy about that, and I assume that it means my prog was at good levels since I thought it's usually plunging prog that causes PMS. No other PMS symptoms either - no bloat and water retention I usually get, I usually ALWAYS go up 1-2 water lbs and this time I was losing weight all through the weekend.

So some positives to come away with but disappointing of course. At least I can have coffee today, I was avoiding caff in the 2ww just in case. And of course today is JUNK FOOD BINGE DAY! Yeeehaw!

Good luck to everyone testing soon! Sorry to those whose cycles seem to be ending in a BFN. I'm just waiting to O.

Are you sure it isn't implantation???!!! 9dpo is the average day for that and it sure sounds like you have all the symptoms!

Uh yeah I'm sure, LOL. Alas I've had plenty of TTC cycles with the exact same, plus my CP is opening up so that's 100% not implantation.

The only good thing about having a cruddy LP is that moving on is faster, and I've conceived twice with an 8-10 day LP so it's not stopping me from conceiving, but I do blame my crap LP for taking longer to conceive every time. It means I only conceive when the embie implants at the latest at 7dpo. Sigh. At least Metformin seems to have made my prog levels better but I'm disappointed my LP was only 9 days again. So frustrating.

Sage- this is my third cycle getting acupuncture. I may stop at the end of this cycle and also stop using opks and temping too. If this cycle ends with a BFN, I think we may just BD every 3-4 days and just go about our lives. I feel if we are meant to have another child, we will be blessed with one. For the past several cycles we have had great timing. I know my average follicular phase, luteal phase, and period length. You know the old saying ," a watched pot never boils". That is how I feel doing all of this. I am at peace with things and am ready to move on.

Lace- I'm so sorry about this cycle [emoji20]. I am glad that the Metformin is helping things and hope that next cycle is it for you!!

FX to the ladies waiting! I hope to see more BFPs!

Great! I am pretty sure that is what I am using…I am getting a positive around when I think I would O, wait 2 days then test again and get a negative? I got these ones…

Amazon.com: Combo 50 (LH) Ovulation & 20 (HCG) Pregnancy Test Strips (1): Industrial & Scientific

I guess I will buy the digi and test with both to know if they are working??

Lace: That's super crummy about your cycle! It looked so great with the temp rise, too! Is there anything you can take to help lengthen the LP? Vitex? I'm definitely no expert, but it does seem like I've heard of women lengthening LP using it. I love that you're positive about it!

XX: I've thought the same thing, too. This charting is literally giving me anxiety. I need to just let it go - it is interesting though since I don't really know what my body is doing and last month was the first time I've actually O'd since off BC in October. But I really love your outlook on it!

Thanks everyone. :) Meh I'm ok, it's never taken us less than 5+ cycles to get preggo so used to it taking awhile.

Taytum, I've tried Vitex and all manners of B vits before but it never did anything but mess up things worse. In my case with my PCO tendencies if my LP is cruddy it likely means my O is weak leading to a cruddy LP. So the short LP is a symptom of a problem, not the problem itself. As I said I've had two successful pregnancies and I've always had a really short LP, so in my case I'm not really too concerned that the LP itself is going to cause issues.

If anything it's a late O that concerns me more, because that usually means my body is having difficulty getting an egg to mature and ovulate and has to 'keep trying'. This cycle obviously shouldn't be the norm, so the next one should be more illustrative to how the Metformin is helping my cyle, if it is. I'll have to wait and see!

Lace-augh. how frustrating! hope next cycle is perfect for you!

Maiden-hope you got to the doctor today!

so, just had my ultrasound. i have 4 follicles that look like they are ready. i will get my BW around lunchtime. RE thinks we will probably have to ditch this cycle and do 25mg clomid next cycle. my issue is, the women on this site that have used clomid without monitoring haven't ended up with multiples. so, is the diet/exercise, lower sperm count stuff causing not all the eggs to ovulate/fertilize?? just thinking out loud and bummed. due to due date/timing, we won't be attempting again until june. depressing to think that i have to continue all these sway tactics for at least another 3 months. I know that could happen anyway, just terrible to know that it will definitely take that long...if that makes sense

Boo, limbo sucks. :( Sorry that you're not looking like you'll get a chance this month.

I have no experience with Clomid so hope someone else knows more!

Limbo definitely sucks, I know. Bfn sucks when you have a whole bunch of them in a row, but gosh all those months during our HT attempts when I was stuck not doing ANYTHING was truly sucktastic so I know how you feel. :( I do think you should ease up on the LE diet though, especially if you're gonna get Clomid. Are you at least doing the fertility LE diet? Because the regular one for so long won't help your fertility.

This sounds exactly like mine I feel like. It looks like my body tried to O, but didn't really get the job done. I'm hoping it can within a day or so and then still have a chance. I didn't have a clear temp rise last cycle until CD35. This cycle looks a little more promising at CD 21 with CM, R ovary cramping, etc. Did you conceive naturally with your previous two pregnancies? During my annuals my GP would say that it felt like I had a cyst, but not to worry as that's natural. On a u/s done in January she said there was one cyst on my L ovary, but I seem to have ovulated from my R this month and last. But there aren't many cysts as I've heard comes with PCOS? I've only been on BC since October so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, I just hate the unknown.

ok just got my BW back

my estrogen is 2026
progestrone 1.19 LH 18.9

so, i'm at risk for multiples but RE is more concerned that we missed the surge and i would get a boy. their suggestion is to forgo this cycle, since we missed timing. still do clomid next cycle but monitor me more closely to not miss the surge. what's frustrating is, i tested all weekend and didn't get anything close to a +. Also, we DTD on saturday but protected because i didn't want to mess up the one attempt. if anyone has an insight, i would love to hear it. also, should i PM Atomic with this info? again, if i would have not been monitored, would i even know this is a problem and had our attempt tonight? also, have to decide about timing. do i risk having another xmas baby and hope it's a girl?

Lace-i don't know how you do it. i do think that waiting to ovulate is worse then the 2WW. at least with the 2WW, its out of your control at this point.

Smarston- I don't have experience with Clomid, but I have lots with being in limbo. Hang in there! I agree with Lace, and I would switch to Atomic's fertility diet since you will be on it so long before your next attempt.

TaytumJ- I sure hope you O soon! Hang in there! It took my body a bit to normalize after stopping BC a few years back. It will happen!

I haven't gotten a positive opk, but my temps show I may have Oed 3 days ago. This has never happened to me! I'm not sure what to make of it, but we BDed well so we will see. For some reason I'm not feeling it this cycle, but what do I know [emoji6]! I am having a hard time not snacking and have had an increase in appetite for the past 2 days. Progesterone production? Strict exercise + Yoga? Who knows! I am over it already!

Not getting a +OPK doesn't mean you didn't O, might've missed the surge or maybe the OPK didn't work for you. Really, that's why CP charting is so useful!!

I've already given up on the one attempt thing....with my very unpredictable O it was driving me bonkers. We've already switched to bd'ing every 3-4 days because from my personal past history I just can't get preggo if we bd more than 36 hours out from O.

Hah and are you kidding, waiting to O is the easy part for me, BECAUSE I have control and can do something besides waiting around! The 2ww is the WORST for me exactly because there's nothing I can do but wait. And obsess. UGGGGGH.

Oh, the munchies are TOOOOOTALLY a progesterone thing. I had it SO bad! LOL! Once I O'ed I was like EAT ALL THE THINGS all the time. Awful trying to stick to LE when you're so hungry!

just another thought...is RE thinking i missed timing for a girl because he believe's shettles? i consulted with him back in January for IVF/PGD. so, when he was on the phone just now, he says, "you had a great response to the clomid so we could do IVF without much meds"....is he money hungry? again...just thinking out loud

Well Shettles has been totally debunked. And I'm envious you actually told your RE about swaying!!! Outside of HT I've never heard of an RE that puts any credence into sway theory.

so yeah, that's their concern, that i missed the timing for a girl...because i'm starting to surge and we should have DTD before the surge..but, haven't "we" "proved" that's not the case? oh girls, don't know what to do. and i need to get my thoughts together before i talk to DH.

Uhm. That would be Shettles cutoff and it's a MYTH! It doesn't work and girl sperm do not swim slower than boy sperm. At all. Your RE is seriously out of date if he thinks that works, because it doesn't!!

Diet and lifestyle are #1 on the sway. Ignore all the cutoff stuff because it doesn't work at all. Bd'ing you should aim for one attempt at +OPK, but if that's getting too difficult just BD every 3-4 days throughout the fertile period and you'll be fine.

thanks lace!! I truly appreciate everyone's thoughts. my friend (the RE PA) knows exactly what i'm doing and why, how long etc. once she asked the RE(guy i consulted with) is when she said he thought based on my numbers that i am starting to surge TODAY and we should have attempted YESTERDAY because he thinks we need to attempt BEFORE the surge...

Nope. ;)

First, unless you have fortune telling skills, how in the world can you attempt *before* the surge?!? Not even blood tests and U/S monitoring at the RE can tell you when you will surge with any reliable accuracy.

So let's say you nail it and attempted the day before the surge. Then the next day you get a +OPK. But, think about it.....your actual ovulation takes place anywhere from 35-48 hours AFTER the +OPK. So that means your bd attempt may end up being as much as 72 hours before the egg arrives. For many of us that's too long and results in nil chance of any sperm left still alive. For me I can't even catch the egg if I BD more than 36 hours out.

In any case there is no point in using cutoffs because Shettles has been disproven over and over again. So it's all moot anyways.

I would BD tonight Smarston! If you are surging, it is like BDing at positive opk, and that is when we BD! Then I would BD again in 3-4 days in case it took the egg a bit to release after your surge.

FX that you catch the egg!!!

thank you! i think that's what we are going to do. i just talked to DH about everything (including everyone's suggestions/info here) he's going to think about it and make a decision tonight. He didn't like the RE when we consulted with him, so his opinion is, he's a quack. Also, even if we follow the RE's advise about timing, we still might get a boy.

This cycle is strange and annoying to me. I have no idea what is going on. I have not gotten a positive opk either (except the dark one I posted but that is not positive for me). Of course I haven't really temped so I have no clue if I O'd. I don't think I did as I have had no O pain and no CM but I guess it's possible. Seems like everytime I get excited I get shot down. My tubes are clear but no O yet in sight!!
XX your chart looks like you have possibly O'd. Guess it is wait and see. The waiting game!! LOL

Maiden hope you are getting to the doctor today and on your way to getting better.

Lace, your temps were really great so that is definitely a good thing. Maybe your body needs to adjust for a bit.
Enjoy the cheat day!!! I am having a really hard time continuing on this diet. Cheat days are totally necessary.

djmommy - sorry about the frustrating cycle. Seems to be the month for it! Grrr.

yay cheat days! Yes the LE diet gets old fast. I do tend to eat the same things a lot but I need to change up my meals every few weeks or it's insanity inducing.

Lace, please enjoy a cheat day for me too! After the stress of today, going to be hard to resist today

I will for sure! We're getting pizza and wings and poutine from one place, and sushi from the other. Mwuahaha!

And I always let myself have 'little' cheats everyday. I allow 350 cals for dessert so it gives me lots of leeway to have anything I want, and if I'm really craving something I shouldn't have I'll make it for the kids and 'steal' a bite or two. It gives me a taste without entirely blowing the day out of the water!

Gotta do what keeps you sane. :)

Still obsessing and researching. Here are some gems I found today that might be of interest:

This one says too much ewcm is a bad sign and it's good to keep bding as it dries up. I found some info - I should be a CM doctor LOL - Trying to conceive - MadeForMums Chat

Very interesting about the middle of the article where it says how days of ewcm decrease with age. Is not having much cervical mucus a sign of a fertility problem? - BabyCentre

Some dietary suggestions for improving cm. HOW TO INCREASE FERTILE SPERM FRIENDLY MUCUS

How to identify fertile cm (because it could be egg white or watery) and negative towards the diet and supplement ideas. How to Identify and Improve Fertile Cervical Mucus

Anyone have time to read them and share thoughts?

Not visible until a moderator has approved? Did I do something wrong?

edit - Ok, I understand. It's probably because I included links. It was articles I found about cm. Hope you all get to see it eventually!
