Hi ladies - I'm not sure whether or not I should join you yet since O is totally confusing me this month. This is my first month taking Vitex and also my first month no longer bf ds3 (he was only nursing once a day, though, so it wasn't a huge change). O normally comes on cd12, which was yesterday. Two days ago my OPKs started getting darker right on time, then suddenly went completely negative - like no test line at all. Since then, the test line has returned but is still quite light, so I'm hoping maybe just maybe I'll get a + later today. Cervix is very open and soft, so I'm hoping that's a sign that O hasn't arrived. My worry is that I somehow missed my surge and have already O'd.

I'm not worried about our attempt timing since we're doing frequent BD and have dtd every day since af ended, but I am worried about whether or not I should stop the Vitex and Saw Palmetto. If I stop it now just in case O already happened (though I don't think it has), will it affect my attempt should O actually come tomorrow or the next day?

Of course, my body is playing tricks on me. I feel like I have to pee about every 5 minutes, which has always been an early pregnancy symptom for me. My right breast is also really sore. Is it possible to still have a wide open cervix (like so far open I could stick a whole fingertip in there) and already have O'd? I don't temp so I can't use that as a back-up.

Mochagirl it sounds like your body was gearing up to O and then maybe didn't ... which would explain the opk's getting lines again. I would keep POAS to try to find that surge! My cervix closes up pretty soon after O; it has NEVER (in the 9 months I've been playing this game) stayed open like that past O. Sounds to me like your O is yet to come. Sorry your body is messing with you! These supps can be real buggers!

I posted on our team blue thread that I didn't test this am ... I had a dream this am (one of those where you wake up a minute and fall back to sleep, but think you're still awake so are SURE the dream is real, KWIM??) that I got a BFP this am, and I was really upset about it. So I decided just to forgo testing this am. I am conflicted about whether I want a BFP or not at this point! We only tried this cycle bc it was my bday and I was O'ing and it seemed fun, and I like the idea of being 33 still at delivery. But I'll miss out on some fun this summer if I'm pg now! AND .. this is the big part, I'm really a bit sad that this will be our last, so once it starts, I know I'll never get to do this again. And that is bittersweet. So anyhow... I think I can see bright sides to either outcome, BFP or BFN, but I just didn't want to test. Plus I'm only 9 DPO so really on the early side! We'll see how I feel tomorrow morning!

And whoa Mochagirl, just saw your siggy, WAY TO GO on that med-free VBAC! You're a ROCKSTAR!!! :-)

Thanks, Begonia - it was definitely a different experience from my induced 27 hour labour under epidural and emergency c-section I had with my twins! It was wonderful to feel good seconds after giving birth. I was home from the hospital 2 hours after he was born!

I think I agree that I haven't O'd yet. I think the vitex, SP and stopping breastfeeding have all conspired together to mess up my cycle

. I've been holding my pee all morning and am going to do another test soon. I even bought the expensive digital ones this time!

Yay, Yay, Yay! I just tested and got a big ol' smiley face so O must be coming soon! See you back here in a day or two, ladies!

**begonia** · June 22nd, 2011, 03:53 PM

YAY Mochagirl!!!!! That is fabulous!!!! Can't wait to officially welcome you to the 2WW :-)

Mochagirl that is fantastic!! I would say it was the Vitex doing it.. I have been taking it too it made me O a day early?? Anyway as for me i am about 3dpo and i keep getting niggle pains really low feels like it could be to the left side but then i think i can feel it on the right. I am not sure what it is and i am not sure if this usually happens to me after o. Oh well will see!

I can't wait to join you in analyzing all our little symptoms! I'm getting ready for our last attempt tonight, and am looking forward to a break from all the BDing.

**begonia** · June 22nd, 2011, 05:33 PM

Pink it's so fun to obsess over symptoms!!! How exciting that you're feeling some stuff! I never feel any of it. My only symptoms really are exhaustion (but hello, who isn't when you already have kids) and the constant nausea since 5 dpo (but I'm thinking it is related to my allergies acting up) .... and just last night my bb's got sore. That clearly can't be allergies ;-)

For sure! I can tell you though that with DD2 we definitely had a LOT of BD'ing!!! I don't really know with DD1 as she was a BCP slip-up, but we were usually DTD every other day then.
