I feel like I'm ready to move onto next month :tissue:
probably thinking way to much into this since its not been a full 48 hours yet but wondering if such a change in diet and the excess exercise has caused me to not ovulate.... I'm a pessimistic worrier if you haven't figured that out..

Hi Ash. Glad that you put the opks away. I just checked twice after solid smiley and then didn't look in that direction [emoji13]. I am not temping so have no idea about that so I am totally dependent on opks.
I really don't think that you should be worried about catching the egg since you had good attempts in. I guess more than any of us. [emoji4]
I feel all of us are worried in one way or another.
I m worried about not having the 3rd attempt and whenever I think about it, I can't stop shedding a few tears. [emoji4]
But all of your wonderful ladies make me feel better and that I have someone by my side in all this.
I would say you have a good shot at catching the egg this time and just don't worry much. Fx fx fx fx fx for all of us. Xx

Thank you sky... I feel a bit better this afternoon but had a minor melt down this am lol if you couldn't tell! If I would have just stuck with opk I would feel more confident I think but with knowing I haven't had a temp spike yet and I'll be ovulating sometime today and won't get another attempt is a bit upsetting since I've put so much into this and then he gets called away for work. It's so frustrating and I'm ready to be able to have breakfast again ��

Hi sky! Yes, tested but it's another negative opk. [emoji17]

Bfn.... not out yet though, only 8dpo. I had to go to the toilet at 3am so that's when I did it. My youngest son has a bad cough so woke me up then and I couldn't hold on any longer...

So for all my confidence I oed yesterday I don't have a temp spike. Cm is post o, my lower abdomen no longer feels like its going to burst and is no longer tender to touch so who knows... lucky I don't have a hat or I'd have to eat it! So kinda wishing now we'd dtd again last night but that's life. I feel like maybe I have oed even just recently (last hour or so) and I was too early to catch the temp rise. But again I just don't know. So Ash we are really together in this!!!!! I'm sure we'll both see a spike come tomorrow morning! Well done on signing up to ff! I find it the easiest to read of all fertility apps :)

As weird as this sounds I'm not that upset that we didn't get another attempt in. I feel nothing but relief that what's done is done and this was the last time I have to do all this (testing, forced bding, checking cm and cp). I am surprisingly still happy with my attempts and still think I have a good shot of a bfp if I get my temp spike tomorrow. This is how I know I'm ready to move on from ttc and I'm so happy to feel this way!!!

Lola what dpo are you again? You're next to test after want4kids right?? Cannot wait!!! Not long till we should hear from I want4kids...

Maxim the unprotected bd thing was just to do with skyblue :)

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Whoops missed a page! 8dpo is super early I want4kids!! Are you using frers? Fx for tomorrows test!!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Pbn it is very frustrating for sure but I also think I have Od late morning today I no longer have cramps. Praying for a temp spike for both us. Would it be wed for you next time you wake?
Iwant4kids hope you get a bfp soon.. I think I'm going to go buy some frer for my first couple testing days despite the fact I have 40wondfo tests HAHA but I will no be able to hold on without testing because I'm a poas addict so my first test day will be next Tuesday the 4th which will be 7dpo if I Od today

No its Wednesday early morning now for me :)

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Pbn-I'm 3 dpo today, so I'm not testing until at least next Wed. I wondered if it was possible to miss the temp spike, so maybe that's what happened for you and Ash?
Ash-cutting out breakfast was hard for me too...so hungry in the AM at work!!
Iwant4kids-exciting that you're our first tester! Can't wait to hear about your next tests since it's still early!! Fx!!!
Maxim-fx you get a +OPK soon!
The test line on my OPK seems to have faded a little more...still there, but not as dark. Think I'll stop obsessing now :) I've been worrying...what if I have cysts & it's going to be harder to get pregnant. Never had issues before. Those darn what ifs!!!
And like you mentioned skyblue-we're all worried about something, so we all have to just try to sit back & relax and see how our 2WW unfolds! Thank goodness we have each other for support during this time!!! xoxo
My Ovulation Chart

I did use a FRER and took it apart and all that! LOL

I was 9 DPO with my boys, but I think I'm actually only 7DPO and not 8DPO, where FF has put my lines. I really hope it's just too early. Time will tell xoxo

Pbn what are we going to do without your advise if you move on to the dd or quit this month? You will have to come back and visit us stragglers

Oh I will for sure if need be ash :) I really want to see this group of ladies with bfps so I'll be stalking for awhile to come 😎

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Pbn3 and moma - such great signs for both of you! I am stalking this thread for everyone!!! Such a wonderful group. :)

And thank you all so much for thinking of me and helping through this limbo. I am trying not to think about it all that much, but every cramp is disturbing and I keep expecting to find blood whan I wipe every time I visit the restroom. It also does not help that I have debilitating fatigue and ms already.

Sorry I'm not being more help in this thread. I'm trying to purposely stay distant to protect myself if I get a bfn or another miscarriage. The less involved I am, the easier it is for me to deal with the potential results. I really am rooting for everyone and read everything everyone posts. 😊

My Ovulation Chart

Pb your timing looks good. Maybe a temp spike tomorrow. I'm cd22 and had a huge temp dip today. Had a negative opk last night and still a negative (but darker than last night) opk with a cheapie and the digi this morning. So I'm thinking maybe I'll O tomorrow? Had a fair bit of ewcm this morning, so thought with the temp dip and ewcm, we'll DTD anyway. DH was not a fan of all the slippery wetness, never had so much before thanks to the HE diet! I told him to get over it! Going to test again this afternoon with a cheapie.

Momamia I completely understand. I've been there several times over the past couple years. You have been such a support to me and I truly appreciate it ❤ I am only as involved as I am again because I'm so done with it all and am honestly truly ok with any result now. Makes it alot easier as I won't be being left behind anymore if that makes any sense?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Lol dancingdiva at your dh!!! Lucky your not using preseed as well then as that can make a huge wet mess when you use that little bit too much 😂😂

Can you share a pic of your opks? Ewcm can show up days before a pos opk and temp dips can be misleading.... I've had a double temp dip this cycle lol. Fx for you diva!!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Yes, I do know what you mean. You've been a huge support to me too! :) I'm done too. I'm just not sure how my brain will react to a bfn/mc. I'm trying to guard my heart. I feel totally prepared for either result but you never really know.

My Ovulation Chart

Moma-that's totally understandable to guard your heart! You know we're here for you whenever you need us :)
Pbn-ash is so right!! What would we ever do without you!! Glad you're in such a good place-I have really positive feelings about this cycle for you though!!!
Shann-I have kept you in my prayers. Hope you can get some relief from the MS & fatigue soon.
Dancingdiva-lol! Fx for O tomorrow.
AFM-I'm having strong cramps in my right side. I need a heating pad ugh. I typically have O pains, but these seem to be worse. Doesn't sound like pcos, but maybe just an ovarian cyst? I remember my obgyn pointing out a cyst on an ultrasound last pregnancy, but he said it was normal. Maybe one has ruptured? Ohh my typical anxiety is kicking in!!

Maxim- hang in there. You know less sleep and exhaustion may also delay O since you are on vacation. I mean are you getting too tired or is it a relax vacation? Any change of time zone?
I m sure it will happen soon. Good luck. Fx for you.

Iwant4kids - So excited that you are the first one to test. Keep testing and updating us. It's still early though. Fx

Pbn- how are you feeling? So, you also couldn't get the 3rd attempt in? I hear you about forced BD. I felt exactly the same. I never knew that would be the most tricky part. Dh has a high libido but even he got turned off by the idea of timed BD. [emoji52][emoji52][emoji52]
You inspire me each time. Thanks for being so awesome. Fx for you. I m praying hard for us all.

Ash- I love the part about starting to test at 7dpo. I can totally relate to the POAS addict. I guess most of us can. I used 3 different opks this time every time I went to the bathroom. Keep us posted.

Lollabelle - I think the non digital opks are different that ways. Mine didn't even show a line along with flashing smiley. It only started to appear after solid smiley and kept getting darker until I was all out. [emoji52] I think it's time to put the opks away and relax and wait. It truly means a lot to have you all in this nail biting time. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

I have no clue about what's going to happen. Honestly, I think I will be relieved if I got my Af so that I could do the next cycle better than the last.
I hope I am not sounding crazy. But a part of me wants to get AF. [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26]

Mommamia - I am fairly new here but I feel lucky to be a part of this group. You all are so awesome. I am praying so hard for everyone. I can understand about keeping distant but it's a great place to express anything you are feeling. Please keep sharing. Xoxo

Lol. I am on HE diet and that's one of the reasons I didn't use preseed. I knew dh won't love the first attempt let alone 3. [emoji12][emoji12] He was feeling weird with Ewcm I had. Couldn't figure out what happened.[emoji854][emoji854]

Sky I kinda feel the same about af I don't want it to come but my sway would possibly be stronger if it would. But then again I have 4 boys and I want a girl so bad but I'm also scared to death to have a girl because I have zero experience! Plus I feel like I have always rushed things, I get mad when I'm not pregnant at the snap of my fingers, I rush my babies being born so I can see them sooner, then I regret it because I love being pregnant.... I'm crazy!

I am sure all the moms will relate to this. I cried for days after dd was born because I loved being pregnant and I was the fittest during those 9 months. I felt like a super woman except one with a huge belly. [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]
Like I said we will keep worrying one way or the other so I have just accepted that I have a crazy side along with my regular personality.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you get some relief from the fatigue. May I ask how far along are you since I don't know much about you. Xx

I feel them and trying to think I am going nuts. And not to forget I am so Bloated.

That's a typical O for me. Pains like I'm about to get my AF - actually worse because I barely get any AF pain. Lasts about 2-3 hours and I have to take painkillers, then bam! It goes away and I know my egg popped right at the end. It's like a terrible pressure build up then relief. Maybe it's O time now ladies? Another attempt couldn't hurt if you are swaying blue!

Maybe we are popping more than one egg 😉😂 haven't been able to get another attempt in just yet but getting close to boys bedtime.....

Ash I'm hoping you went to bed late so I'm still awake when you update with temp!!!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Shannshaff - As bad as it is, fatigue and MS are great signs!

Momamia - no need to explain. Everyone has a different journey xoxo Hope this is your take home baby that you so deserve

Dancingdiva - Hope you caught the egg and LOL at DH!

Lolabelle - I had a ruptured cyst last year and I couldn't walk or stand....I was so unwell. I needed a D&C after it.

Skyblue & Pbn3 - I was in so much pain the day after I ovulated. I think it was a combo of too much BDing and O pains....

AFM - I've pulled a muscle in my stomach from coughing. My nausea is comforting, but it could be from being unwell. I think I have more visible veins under my arms and nipple changes...again, just searching.
Day 21 blood test showed that I did ovulate (knew that LOL). No HCG was detected, which was 6dpo. It wasn't picked up with my first on Day 21 either.
I am using FRER - nothing better! ;)

Cant wait for tomorrows test I want4kids!! Hope you're not in too much pain with your pulled muscle - ouch!! Where in Aus are you? I'm Central Queensland coast and can hear the thunderstorm coming ahead or because of ex tropical cyclone Debbie getting closer. Have only gotten a breeze started last hour??ish, expecting some strong winds throughout the night (nothing gale force of course). Just hope after this that autumn is ready to begin. Its beem a looooong hot summer here 😰😓

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Pbn3: Oh how worrying for you! I'm outside of Melbourne, Victoria. We even have wind here and the TV is dodgy because of it!
Stay safe xo

glad you are safe Pbn. In perth we are still waiting for summer to arrive! Unfortunately I think it has missed us completely this year :(
