Next week will be a fun week for testing!! Fingers crossed for everyone!

FF updated my crosshairs to CD34. But my other app is giving me crosshairs at at CD26. It's just the weird CM that is throwing me off? So lotion-y on CD34 and leading up to it, with only a little bit of right ovary pain (which could have even been implementation if it was CD26?). Where on CD26 it was definitely ovulation cramps and watery CM. Wish I would have stuck to OPKs. But, was just so frustrated.

Today I have the weirdest pain from my right side, like shooting downward. And I had a really weird dream last night about a male co-worker being pregnant and we were all at a petting zoo. Creepy. I do have an OBGYN appt next week though, so regardless, hopefully some answers soon!

Getting excited for you ladies!

Junie- I don't think you have Oed yet. FX that your eggie is waiting for DH!!!

AFM- WTH with my temps? They are never this high at this point in my cycle! Plus I got a positive opk on a wondfo and a smiley in a CBD! I'm at CD8! I did have BAD O pains yesterday, which means I usually O 2-3 days later. My opks are in line with that but at CD8?! I have gotten strict on the diet again and have been doing a detox so maybe that with acupuncture is affecting things. Who knows though, when swaying and ttcing it seems everything goes out the window! We will definitely BD tonight and hope for the best.

I'm hoping the rest of you ladies get your BFPs- then you can give me some of your leftover baby dust [emoji8]

Sage- I added The Wind Boy to my goodreads list- it sounds like one I would enjoy! I'll also be testing on the 18th just in case I got lucky and did O then.

Taytum- If you are 12DPO there are good chances that cheapie will pick it up with first morning urine- although every woman is different. So far I've gotten my first (very faint) BFPs on cheapies at 10DPO for the different pregnancies.

XX- That is great- that means that your body is working- I'm excited for you!

I know my chances are now about 1% to get pregnant with our timing but I'll start testing on the 18th which would be 10DPO if I was lucky and O'd earlier than FF says just to keep myself from getting my hopes up too high since my LP is normally quite long. I just hate the fact that if my DH had been in town our timing would have been great. What a lost opportunity.

Wow 2boys congrats! I'm glad it happened again so quickly for you, that's amazing!

I started a chart this month on fertility friend. How do I get it connected to this site like so many of you have(I'm tech challenged)? I'd like you gals to give me your opinion on how it looks and when you think I O'd. . .

Sure hope there are more BFPs this month. I test at the very end of the month. I'll actually be on vacation so I'm thinking/hoping that takes my mind off of it. Don't think I'll take any tests just tampons just in case.
I was feeling good around O but now that hormones have shifted and it's all a waiting game I'm not so confident. I am so happy for everyone here and around me falling pregnant but I get sad it's not me. I really don't know how I'll feel if it doesn't happen this month.
Besides all that I'll update you. I had a follicle scan on Wednesday at 8am. It showed that my left ovary will release an egg this month. I had 2 follicles measuring 19+mm and 21+mm. My Ob was happy with that but told me he hopes I don't release both since twin VBAC makes it complicated. I told him I just want ONE and all I'm hoping is that one works out. I felt a little like he led me to think I'll get pregnant this month.
Later Wednesday evening I had very intense and painful O pains in my left side. Even stepping on my left foot and sex was painful since the whole left side of my abdomen was involved. The next morning I had a significant temp spike, and again this morning.
My girl sway is pretty weak at the time. The only thing I have going for me is weight/calorie intake, Femara, bfing. I had acupuncture tues morning and we BD tues evening as well as wed.
I can't help but analyze it all. Both times I laid flat for 10 min after sex. When I went to bathroom after I had some semen come out and that is stressing me for some reason.
I feel like I did A LOT to ensure pregnancy and that's why I'm nervous about it not working again this time
Sorry to vent gals. Fx it works out.

EmileeJane - I bet you'll get your much deserved BFP with follicles like that! I am [emoji120] for you! Oh and your sway sounds great! I've noticed that when people are super strict or doing tons of things to sway, they don't seem to get pregnant. I think you have a well balanced sway and I would feel confident of that were my sway!

Emilee- Those follicles sound so good! I can only imagine how sad and frustrated you must be. I forgot how awful this whole process can be. On Fertility Friend there is a heading called "share" and then create/preview homepage. If you do that then you'll get a direct link to your page and we can all see whatever you want us to see (on the homepage you can choose to exclude certain information which is on your chart).

I hope you have a fabulous vacation and get a BFP at the end of it!!

Taytum, I'm glad to hear you agree about Fallen. I LOVE Game of Thrones, they are amongst my all time faves. I haven't heard of Uglies. What genre/author?

Looking at your chart I can definitely see both possibilities; either you've just Oed, or you Oed back on your earlier assigned O date and you're pregnant with a triphasic chart. Either is good since you BDed enough to cover recent O. I'm very curious to know which scenario is the case! I look forward to you testing, fx for a BFP.

Btw, it is totally normal for fertility signs and symptoms to be confusing, especially coming off BC. Even with as long as I've been charting, my body frequently throws me off.

VegMom, how many DPO are you?

Junie, how is your sick boy? I hope he is feeling better.

sage, you've laid out next week's testing nicely! AF is actually due for me around the 19th, so if I'm not pregnant I will very likely know then. I think that capacitation might occur partly via inter-sperm communication, so how many sperm/BD attempts probably has an effect. Also, CM and seminal volume definitely affect capacitation, so there may be a swaying connection. It hadn't even occurred to me that there might be! I don't think capacitation directly affects gender though.

XX, go catch that egg!

EJ, your follicle scan, symptoms and temps all sound great. And I think your sway is actually quite solid - I would definitely not call it weak. Enjoy your vacation! Where are you going?

As for me - starting an hour ago I've been having what feels like SEVERE O pain on my right ovary. It's so painful I can't move! I think I'm having some uterine cramping, too. And quite a lot of CM the past couple days. I think I must have a cyst again, especially considering the recent EWCM after O. Last night and tonight I've been feeling extra hot, feverish. I'm trying so hard not to read too much into these things. It's difficult!

Hey Ladies, So 10dpo and I'm getting the aches on my left which seems to be a AF sign but I'm also feeling quite calm which is odd as I've noticed the week leading up to AF I am very cranky and have a bad temper! Last night I also noticed my boobs were so sore and have continued to be sore today. Could be something or nothing...will know in a weeks time AF is due in 4 days.

[XXforhubby]

You're pregnant Mars! I just know it! I think you should test in three days time, for me. Pleeeease?!

I agree, that sounds very promising Mars!
