I am definitely not pregnant as blood draw Monday was 4.3 HCG (down from 7.5 on Thursday). On Atomic's suggestion I'm just going to attempt every 4 days until AF in case I'm only just ovulating now.
So I guess I'm back in (or almost in) the 2WW with many of you ladies.
Glad to have you in the 2ww with us Erin :) your OPK's are looking nice and dark!
My OPK lines are always thin or darker towards one side lol. I took another one this afternoon and it looks negative to me. I'm feeling a bit impatient now >_>
Alright, I'm bored so I'm posting more pics. These are my CBD OPK for the last 4 days taken at 7/7:30PM:

Yes, I inverted them LOL, the pics don't turn out well with these for some reason. You can see the progression well this way:

and these are my sad 1PM sticks for the last 3 days. CD15 looks darker to me. What I'm worried about is that I won't catch it. My surge is very short u_u.

I wish I had gotten the CBD advanced, too late now XD
ETA: I found more EWCM this afternoon, the beginning stages of it, which is usually a bit cloudy mixed with clear, but still very stretchy. I usually get 2 days of EWCM. Very exciting indeed. :D
CD21 & still no sign of ovulation. I am starting to wonder if I ovulated really early? I guess post miscarriage anything is possible. I didnt have any promising signs earlier though. I normally ovulate CD16-20 so I dont start testing until CD14. We did BD on CD10 before hubby went away for work so I guess I am in with a remote chance.
Maybe you'll be like me and O really late after m/c? I think anything can happen. Hope whatever happens with you brings a shot at BFP!Quote:

how you doing robin? temp rise yet?
Cosmo, so strange...my OPK's (CB and cheapies) look identical to yours. Funny (not really) how we are all having delayed O's. Fingers crossed it happens sooner than later, but everyone's charts look good so far.
No temp rise this morning... I am thinking I'll get it tomorrow? Who knows..Quote:

You can add me to the 'waiting to O/where's my egg?" list.
Cd 11 on my first cycle after mc....or cd 48 if its still part of the same cycle (i've had stop/start bleeding off/on for last 6 weeks and still LOW on my monitor...plus O twinges all the time...i wonder if something is up?)
Anyhow, why ttc every 4 days for girl? Is that too long? What if your last BD was 3days before O? Are you supposed to bd right ontop of O then?
It's true that if you BD every four days and it so happens that you end up ovulating on day 4 prior to that attempt, your odds aren't great since the last BD was so long ago and the next BD may be too late to catch the egg. This is why people having trouble conceiving sometimes switch to every 3 days to up their odds. But every 4 days is better odds of a girl since it ensures you only have one attempt in the fertile window. If you have a wonky cycle it can be better than a single attempt since you might miss O.
we conceived DS2 by bd 5 days before O (failed shettles) so I know anything is possible! But at least by BD every 4 days it definitely helps with strange & long cycles that you may not miss O.
Me at 5:00AM

Good morning ladies! I'm totally loving that everyone is Oing late here :p it's extra support for sure!
So this happened this morning:
http://i63.tinypic.com/2mewgtd.jpg
That's a pretty big jump! I think I missed my surge. I test at 8AM, 1PM and 7PM, but it could have happened overnight. My sticks on CD15 seem to be the darkest, last night's OPK was lighter than the night before. >_> I spent alot on OPK's this month lol so I'm gonna keep peeing on those until I run out haha.
I don't have as much EWCM as I'd like. I tested what I found this morning by dropping it in water and it balled up. So it is EWCM.
We got 3 attempts in and it looks like DH wants to have another go this afternoon. It was supposed to be our rest day just in case. Not sure what to do...
@Robin, how is your chart looking today?
@Maxim, any updates?
Can I just say I love that Anna picture ! Brilliant !
It's actually what us women are like ... it's ovulation day hahahaha!

I have definitely ovulated! FF still hasn't put cross hairs so I played around with it and if I get 2 more days of high temps (which I will) it puts ovulation day to Cd19. I'm thinking it was day 18 bc I usually get a slow right in temps lately.
AF is due in 8 days though so that's what makes me still nervous. I'm going to start progesterone suppositories today to hopefully help that shorter luteal phase if I did by chance conceive this month!
Cosmo... that chart looks great! Do you think it will go up tomorrow as well?!

Yeah! that's what we all look like looooooolQuote:

From what I have read throughout the years, ovulation happens during the temp rise not the day of the dip. The dip (which not everyone has) is estrogen rising quickly and the rise that follows is progesterone (signaled by the brain, not the corpus luteum) kicking in which then triggers LH to surg. After the egg pops out, progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum and so on.Quote:

There's truly no real way to pin point ovulation because our bodies vary so much. Are you getting a scan to confirm ovulation? Either way, it is for sure happening for you and you have covered your bases.
I have no idea what direction my temps will go, but I think my coverline is going to be 97.8, that much is clear lol.
Cosmo and Robin, woohoo! So excited for you!! Fingers crossed, looking forward to seeing what happens in the next two weeks for you!
My chart today. Def haven't ovulated yet, and opk's aren't dark yet. I think all the stressing is delaying O, but that works out ok since DH is gone traveling for work. He did voice concerns last night about getting pregnant with such a big age gap between our kids and them not being that close growing up, especially since he's made it crystal clear there is ZERO shot of going for #4 (so the third would essentially be an only child for 6 years when older kids leave for college).

When is the last time you. B'd maxim? I think with that temp going up you are close and i would get an attempt in soon if you can.
Our 3rd was born and my middle child was 5. I find there is a big age gap yes. They do play together but not the same way as my older two did and still do. We are adding a 4th to balance it out. I like the idea of pairs. Having the older kids and younger kids. However SO MANY people we tell that we want to add another look at us like we have 2 heads! The norm now is 2 kids so anything after that is considered odd to most. I say whatever! Whatever works for you and your family! Just think of how wonderful it will be to cherish that baby time with her/him. Your older kids are probably more independent so you can focus on baby. At least that's what I found which was nice!Quote:

I know, aughhh, my DH has been traveling extensively for work so our BD timing isn't great. He comes back tomorrow afternoon, so will BD tomorrow (CD20) for sure. Do you think that will be okay for timing even if I O on CD21? I know that shuttle's doesn't always work, but worried that BD so close to O will be more blue sperm.Quote:

Just out of curiosity since you're in the same position age wise with your kids....if you knew your DH would not go for a 4th, would you still be okay with having the 3rd? I'm wondering if I should just leave good enough alone... :(
For me 100% yes bc I so badly wanted my little girl! I never felt complete. I still don't (hence why I want to meet my fourth baby) but I have come to peace with it being whatever gender. Obviously wed love another girl but I'd be over the moon for another snuggly baby boy as well. I just always wanted that sister bond for my daughter that I never had growing up.Quote:

I would :) You never know what the future holds. If you want to get pregnant, just do it and stop doubting your decision. He may change his mind in the future and he may not. You may have a girl and you may not. You may have a singleton or twins.Quote:

You guys are right! I honestly feel like it's the parents that can make a family dynamic what it is...so if you include or exclude the littlest one, they will be made to feel accordingly. My DH just wasn't really into trying for #3, and now that I've convinced him and it didn't happen last month, he's giving me the whole "if it was meant to be it would have happened" speech, which starts to give me doubts.
Just took a test bfn so I'm out for this month as suspected so I've just eaten loads and loads of chocolate to make myself feel better (or sick?!?!!) and back on it tommorow for when AF arrives I suspect
All systems go for month number 2 xx

I'm sorry to hear :( You should still be in the Feb 2ww though right? How long are your cycles usually?Quote:

I have more comparison pics for those interested
http://i64.tinypic.com/1zfr6ft.jpg
These are all at 1:00PM and 15 still looks the darkest to me. Today's are all lighter.
These next ones vary in time. I usually take these at 7PM everyday, but if I see the cheapies get darker than usual, I take one of these also. See how the darkest ones are CD14 PM and CD15AM? I think it is very possible that my surg was overnight (this would be 3 times now). I do go pee every night so my urine was surely diluted by 5AM. Looks like I may have documented my surge on its way down.
http://i67.tinypic.com/2l9qj2v.jpg
We'll know for sure the next few days.
Yes well my attempts next month will again be e4d so starting from 10th Feb and carry on from there really hoping Feb is my month !

Cosmo I think you are right about when your surge was and yes you documented the last of it. Your lines are crazy light it really throws me off lol.. I can confirm I had what felt like a fever the Saturday that I ovulated..my temp was 99.9 and peaked at 100 degrees. It was a strong O lol..I definitely was not sick and at her ultrasound she was a Saturday conceived baby so I am sure that's what it was. That means today is O day for you if it's when your temp jumps that you O, not after
Maxim I had DD3 because I NEEDED her.. I wanted her so bad with all my heart. Tried for a boy but a part of me knew she was a girl the moment she was conceived. Then when she was in my arms it all clicked and made sense. If we can give birth to our own soulmate, DD3 is that for me. I believe we have several and my husband is definitely my other half and completes me etc but so does my DD3. She was born to show me girls are not all that bad and make me glad to have daughters. Even though she will be left out of some things with her sisters she will always have you.
Awe that's so sweet!! 😍Quote:

I'm so excited for all you girls jumping in the 2ww with me! I'm starting to feel like I'll be surprised if I'm not pregnant this cycle with the constant cramping and strange pinching feelings I'm having. And waves of nausea, however my boobs aren't sore in the least. [emoji848]
Temps are still up but I'm only 7dpo its way too soon I think to even be speculating. This wait is agonizing.

I honestly have no idea if I O when my temps rise, its just speculation on my behalf (adding it up with some knowledge I've gathered as well). I always get EWCM the day of the dip and the day of the rise and it dries up shortly after so it kind of confirms that. It wouldn't make sense to start seeing EWCM the day of O and the day after. If I only get EWCM for 2 days, it is logical to think it would be the day before O and teh day of O to maximize chances of conception.Quote:

I'm please that my temps are on the higher end this cycle, it means my metabolism is higher, which for me is a miracle. :)
Honestly, Barukoam, that brought tears to my eyes...so sweet and TRUE!Quote:

Ok this is my 4th time trying to post. Tapatalk keeps crashing. Hope this one works or I give up....
Good luck everyone in the 2ww! Hope the next week passes quick and we have an abundance of bfps!
Wantanother I think you're the first testing? Fx for your bfp and hope that it triggers many many more.

so Im CD21 today & definitely no signs of ovulation. I now think looking back that I may have ovulated on CD14 (I did have some dull ovulation like cramping but I dismissed it thinking it was a week too early). That would make me 7dpo today. I feel earily calm these past few days (much less snappy with the kids & way moer tolerant than usual) & even though I had added in alcohol & coffee this month, something made me stop 4 days ago. I am probably just mad. No other signs or symptoms at all & it only just occured to me that maybe CD14 was the day. We BD CD10 before hubby went away for work so it is a remote chance, however I did conceive DS2 with the same timing so you never know. I think if my opk stay negative I might test on monday as I have had a BFP at 11dpo before. What do you think? I really think I am truly crazy!
Kc what cd did you start using opks? It's certainly possible you've oed and fx for Mondays test!! Funny that you stopped alcohol and caffeine 4 days ago.... intuition even when not paying attention can be a powerful thing, really hope in this case it means a bfp is coming!
