Ok. I usually have massacre style bleeding (extremely heavy and lots of clots...sorry. tmi) my first day so this is definitely something very different.

fefecooks- Keep temping, I think at this point it could still go either way. It could be implantation spotting, or if your temps stay low it is probably (unfortunately) the start of AF.
Hbuhs- I think 9DPO is still too early even for tests at the Drs. office- unless they did a blood test.
Healthygirl- How long have you been TTC for a girl now? I think if it is only 1-2 cycles that I would not attempt only 2 days apart. You could attempt today if you still get a + OPK.
I took my first dosage of soy isoflavones today- I'm interested to see if they end up shortening my cycle at all.
Ok. Will do. Still hopeful as my daughter-in-law had a period for a day or two and she was sure she wasn't pregnant. Now she's like 11 weeks. :)
Fefe the horrid cramping happened to me this cycle as well, I was sure it was a good sign because it is not usual for it to happen to me. AF showed after 8 days of spotting. Hopefully it's not the same for you! Fx.
Wow seabeewife! I really want this constant cramping to go away if anything. It's really uncomfortable, annoying and really unusual. Almost like I should be checked out if I'm not pregnant. I am older at 38 to be 39 in October. I was really hoping to finally bite into that burger I've been craving for a BFP reward so we'll see!
Yeah mine was really bad too. I usually don't get bad cramps during my period either, and on day two of my period I was in such bad pain I was stuck in the fetal position most the day :/ I swear it's stress for me. I've got this last month to conceive if I want my DH home for the birth. Just found out he's deploying again when he wasn't supposed to.
Fefe - I had what looked like AF - 3 days! - and was pg before. Definitely still a chance.
Seabee - that is a truly terrible amount of pressure for you with deployment. Wow. That really made me sit up and think! FX like crazy for you this month.
Yes, Seabee, please don't stress yourself. Can you make it to the spa for a spa day? This always helps me because I can be a ball of stress at times too.
I wish I could do a spa day. Unfortunately we're a family of one car and I'm not near family to watch DS 2 so I can relax. I usually go on a long walk to relieve stress. I really could use a message though lol.
Then we'll have to make this a job for DH after DS bedtime. Tell him to get those hands a-ready!! ;) How about a nice bath with lavender, lots of candles and yes, spa music! Should help!! :)
I agree with Fefe- get DH to give you a nice massage seabee! :)
I'm back on cortisone again- oh no! I'm sure it made my cycle crazy last time. Thankfully only 20mg once a day for 10 days. So I'm hoping since it is the start of my cycle it won't affect O.
Ok. I'm definitely out. Heavy as ever and temp even lower today. So happy that cramping has finally subsided. One more cycle then off to the fertility clinic.
so sorry fefecooks.how long have u been ttc?
i am pretty sure i ovulated last night.so im in the 2ww:nails:
That was our first try but I'm 38 so no time to waste. And now that my cycle seems to be changing (more intense cramping), I really want to get in there sooner than later. Best wishes eleena!
Fefecooks- I think intense cramping can be a good thing. A sign of a strong O if it happens during your cycle, and that your body is doing what it should during AF.
Eleena2014- Good luck sweetie!! How do you feel about your timing?
Good but I don't know if it's enough as we had 2 attempts before which led to bfn's. We are suppouse to be having another attmept tonight but I've got a headache and feel sick so if this doesn't go away I won't be doing anything
Sorry if tmi but just been for a bowel movement and seen v stretchy mucus. Does this mean I haven't ovulated yet?
Well if you ovulated last night you don't really need to bother with tonight- I wouldn't ,especially if I had a headache and felt sick. I hope 3 is the lucky number for you and you get your BFP this cycle Eleena!!
----Just saw your most recent post
Yes stretchy mucus means you probably haven't O'd! When did you BD- yesterday? Then I would definitely wait until at least tomorrow to BD again.
Eleena. I would say you're o is very imminent. Are you swaying girl or boy?
We bd Monday night/early hours Tuesday morning 1.00am
Swaying girl
If we bd around. Same time tonight will.maybe be a bit earlier that will make it 3 days apart. I got my first positive opk Tuesday morning so thought I would have ovulated by now
Oh, ok. I used to get tons of EW before this girl diet and now it's all dried up over the past 3 months. Is atomic telling you multiple attempts? She told me only 1 at pos opk before ovulation.
I don't have a paid plan. I was wanting to stick to one attmept but wasn't sure if my opk was Def positive so we ended up bd the night before +opk
Are you temping as well? This always gives me my confirmation.
No not temping
Oh I really thought I had ovulated already. Is it really not possible to have ovulated but still get ewcm?
Is it possible that it's semen or did you get it all out before? I hear that EW and semen are often confused.
From bd Monday night I don't think it would be. I didn't do j & d so maybe?
Think it Looks too stretchy to be semen
If it's not, I would highly encourage you to invest in one if you need another cycle. It takes the stress factor of it out of the picture. I'm already a huge stressball to begin with so I'm glad I don't have the other factor of confirming o.
I may do if needs be
I'm gonna try to schedule a spa day in this next cycle leading up to o day. It's not easy for me to relax so I'm hoping this will help us with ttc.
I would BD tomorrow morning Eleena. If you can't in the morning then late tonight.
Eleena- I would BD tonight if it will be 3 days since your last attempt. We BD every 3 days this cycle, then we got out BFP. You want your attempt to be ahead of O. Attempts on O day are often unsuccessful if not timed before O occurs.
