I have so many ups and downs on my chart that its a bit difficult to tell, but my temps stabilized starting CD25, so if anything, that's when I'd think implantation happened.
see if you end up pregnant this cycle cosmo i actually have changed your ovulation date in my head to CD 25 and you are 10 DPO IMO...my reasoning is there is a good spike again, your best yet, on CD 26..and only since then have you stayed consistently above 98.0 degrees. I know thats not what you want to hear but from a mom who got 2 girls with pre seed, pre seed is definitely not make or break for a boy sway.. if you are going to ovulate the truth is it can happen at ANY point within reason after CD 12 and i think some women have even ovulated earlier not that its ideal obviously..and some ovulate very late especially someone who normally has long cycles...but you are already looking at a longish cycle at this point even if thats not your norm.
Your temps look great now and have been steadily climbing.. i DO think you have ovulated this cycle so its just a matter of pinpointing it and if it resulted in conception!
Hi ladies...I'm unfortunately out. AF just came. :sad:
are you SURE it is AF? Your temps went up today, that isn't common.Quote:

Well, when I leave all the temps in and set FF to FAM, it moves my O day to CD25. It is only when I remove the temp spike on CD15 that it moves it back to CD20. I have to exclude that temp all together because I didn't sleep through the night at all and I went to bed very late on top of that. It was a bad night all around. I find it difficult to accept CD25 for the following reasons:Quote:

For my temps to go above that and stay there, it had to be an implantation, otherwise they would be unstable and eventually take a nose dive and AF arrives. I added last month's chart to my page for comparison.
2)My temps have gradually gone up, which means progesterone has been slowly increasing for a while, then there was a quick dip and stabilization afterwards. If we remove the dip, it just continues to go up and stabilizes above 98. From what I have seen in most BFP charts, there is stabilization in temps after implantation, some even get flat line temps.
3)On CD20&21 I had copious amounts of EWCM, I've never seen that amount before. I had high libido to go with it, which I found totally odd since I assumed I had O'd already.Interesting to note, on CD14&15 I had no interest in sex and I always do when I O.
4)I started to get very intense orgasms after CD25, which has only ever happened when I've purposely used hCG OR have had high progesterone levels during progesterone therapy. I can't remember much from my previous pregnancy besides being super thirsty and tired.
I only have these 4 reasons (which I believe are strong), plus a couple of other "symptoms" as well as my intuition. I know people don't like to pay much attention to intuition, but I'm well in tune with myself on many levels. I'm not gonna totally dismiss the possibility of CD25 being O, but I had no signs of it whatsoever at that stage and my temps stabilized like the day after, which doesn't add up to me.
The good part is that I love a good mystery and I'm enjoying all of the theories. The bad news is that I used my last IC a couple of hours ago and BFN :D loooooool. I'll get a set of frers for Wednesday morning if I don't get AF by Tuesday.
Good luck, cosmo!! Keeping fingers crossed for you!!! What does setting FF to FAM do?
Some women do have what they think is AF around the same time AF shows. Keep a very detailed journal of your flow and of course, temps will confirm in the next day or so.Quote:

Totally hear you cosmo! I feel the same way! And I was going to stop temping tomorrow, but I guess I'll keep going.
Sorry, going back to FAM....why would you want that over advanced??
That's a good question. I prefer the advanced settings but my chart this month is whack and the ovulation pattern is not very clear and looking triphasic. Considering the fact that I'm so late in my cycle with no AF and no BFP, I'm falling back on FAM because it is a well established method. I do go back and forth though as time goes by to see how the two methods differ.Quote:

Anyway, FAM is more simple while advanced settings takes into consideration not only your own data history, but others as well.
I have some pain in my cervix area or my lower uterus, I can't comfortably lay on my tummy either. I'm feeling alot of discomfort which I can't describe. It feels like when I had my IUD in there and it would poke me, or it was too cramped. It's difficult to describe.
This whole thing is bogging me down to be honest. Just want to get on with it.
Cosmo did you double check to make sure the cheapies you have been using arent botched?
ETA: the alternative to all this cos is we are all wrong and your cycle is still going because you haven't ovulated yet.
Also cosmo.. about CD25.. EWCM can be there days before you O..I had it Monday and Tuesday and wednsday and didn't ovulate until Saturday. So even though you really hate the idea of it keep in mind it is a distinct possibility and would explain all the BFN's
Not dismissing your intuitions!
I just want AF to show... whaaaaaaa! :tissue: Im perfectly happy inducing it myself, but I have to be sure I'm not PG, otherwise I would have already. I didn't even bother with my temps this morning. lol.
I finished the cheapies, I didn't double check if they were no bueno, how would I check them anyway? I did consider the possibility of me not Oing yet, but I find it very unlikely. I get it, for many women, their cycles change upon TTC because of all the supplements and whatnot, but I honestly didn't change much in my diet except eating every 2-3 hours. I eat the same food, take the same supps. My cycle shouldn't have been affected in this manner.
The good part is that DH and I have BD's EOD up until the CD25, then we went every 3 days for one week due to his schedule and now back to EOD. SO even if I had an egg on the CD25, I still got 2 tries in. In fact, it would be more ideal because I really upped my milk intake the last 3 weeks. I'm fine with everything *IF* I let the "3 attempts" go lol.
Even if I O'd on the 25th, shouldn't I be getting shadows by now?
Another thought, it isn't until very modern times that women are testing really early. Women used to wait for 2 missed periods, that's a loooooong time. I'm not even a week late yet. Perhaps hcg won't be present in my urine for a while longer.
ETA: Burakoam, check mt OPK thread, I have an update there :) I'd like your input <3
Cosmo - your chart looks triphasic to me...that's so strange! Fingers crossed for you!!!!
yeah, it definitely looks triphasic to me as well at this point. Who knows!
Just went to fertility clinic for my first round of blood work and ultrasound. I have 8 follies on right ovary and 10 on the left. I go back in a few days to see which one(s) develop. I am feeling very positive about this cycle! Especially with the help of trigger shot if need be.
Also I'm so greatful to not have to GUESS ovulation again this cycle. I'll know exactly what day I ovulate on and when to BD!
For the other ladies swaying girl.. should DH be still taking LR and OLE if this is cycle #5 for us or should he take break?

Cosmosis, how are things with you?

My Ovulation Chart
I finally got Crosshairs this morning!! So according to FF O day was Friday which gave me 3 solid attempts I think. I would like to see my temp go up a bit more in the next few days to really make sure I ovulated but hopeful that my body just took so long to O so it could make me a Goldie Egg.
Alright my lovelies, I think I'm gonna go ahead and bow out of the January 2ww thread. Looks like I had a chemical and I'm happy with it. I feel more confident in what I'm doing now so I hope February is my month. Here's for a birthday BFP! :) God willing. <3 I will hopefully catch the BFP's from here in the due date group soon hehe.
There's something about acceptance that just really sets you free. I felt so much more at ease yesterday when I accepted that this wasn't going to work out without feeling defeated and went ahead and made plans for my next try and got my supplies. That just really set everything into motion. I find it fascinating how that works.
I did have a little cry this morning, but it was due to the frustration of not having the kind of professional help I desire and need and a bit frightened that I may have to do this a few more times. I don't wanna put on anymore weight and that terrifies me.
At least I know we can easily conceive and I do O regularly as I have known. The uncertainty of this cycle really did my head in.
Sorry Cosmosis but good luck in February!
Cosmo....I'm sorry to hear, but I'll be right there with you in Feb! Fingers crossed, and hoping that this is our coming month! Glad to hear that you're at ease with it, I feel the same way and makes me happy/confident going into this month (which I think makes all the difference!). :highfive:
XXforhubby - your chart looks fantastic with a really nice O day (not too early, not too late)....sure seems like a Goldie Egg cycle to me! Fingers crossed!!!!
Cosmosis- very sorry about the chemical. I know what you mean about letting go...quite liberating. I may be joining you in Feb or March if AF ever shows up after this mc!
Robin, my husband took cycle #4 (Dec) off from supplements.
Still waiting to O. :/ with no attempt last month because of DH's injury I really feel impatient.
That is a Pretty chart with a really nice pink attempt that you didn't even realize you were doing at the time XX!!! Ugh I am just as impatient as you for you to test.. hopefully this week goes fast!
XX, I'm excited for you!! <3
Charts looking great XX, fingers crossed for you.
OMG! I have no idea what possessed me to do this, but I tested anyway. I used a Wondfo IC and there is a faint line!!! It's like 6:00pm and I've peed I don't know how many times! I'll test again in the morning with FMU to confirm.

XX - HUGE congrats! I can see it on both, so happy for you!!
I just looked at your chart and noticed that you have 2 opk testing (if I'm reading it correctly?) methods. Did you only use the CB Advanced Digi on CD 14? Did it give you a peak reading automatically?
Thank you! I had a flashing smiley for two days prior, a positive on a Wondfo the day before and the the day of a solid smiley. It was the first time I used them.
