So I think I am now officially in the TWW! Hoping time moves fast as I wait to test...

Yaybaby- It's not impossible to conceive from O-4 if all the things work out perfectly (perfect, very fertile CM allowing sperm to survive long term, etc.) but it is very unlikely. That is why FF only includes up to O-3 on its timing analysis (VIP function). Factor in a girl sway which is intentionally making things more hostile down there and there is next to no chance of preg from an O-4 BD. Does that make sense?

Thank you twointow! This does makes sense and is definitely helpful. I will say that I have had quite a bit of fertile CM this month, maybe because of this cold (sorry for the TMI). I read that the body can tend to make more mucus overall when you are sick. Hopefully that doesn't hurt my girl sway. Although atomic did mention that illness itself might sway girl. I really don't feel hopeful this month though with an O-4 attempt and end of the ovulation day attempt. Also, in regards to your question, I always get AF-like cramps around O time. I'm not on clomid but thought I would share anyways. Are you still getting EWCM? FX that you O'd and can move into the TWW so we can be testing buddies!



My temps are wacky because I was sick so I might end up discarding the 2 high temps from earlier this week...

Welcome back boysboys! And HUGE congrats foxcub!!! Junie, glad to hear you had a positive doctor's appointment that eased your mind a bit.

Momamia - a dip at 6DPO and cramping on the left side sound like good signs!!

Daisy - have you tested again? Hoping you come back with news of a BFP.

My Ovulation Chart

Yes, I had an EW/creamy mix last night. I haven't checked yet because the only thing that wouldn't have been affected by this morning's BD is CP. My CM would be semen obscured (semen is a lot like EW). I'll probably check here in a bit though to see what my CP is and check this evening to see whats up with my CM. No temp shift this morning, but it could just be that there wasn't enough time between O and temping for my temp to shift. I am thinking it was O though. It hurt too much not to be... my left side STILL feels a little tender. So, I am just gonna call it O regardless of what happens with my chart... I haven't been able to trust anything this cycle so who knows if I can trust my temps "calling" O for today (O pain was in the evening last night so better to call it for today than yesterday) would put me at CD 31 (July 20) for when AF is due. I am supposed to call my OB if I haven't O'd or got AF or BFP by CD 35, so CD 31 is 4 days before that, which means I'd only have to wait 4 more days if no AF or BFP. I am just tired of trying to guess if I am about to O. It's just easier if hubby and I keep BDing E4D while I assume I already O'd. Then if I find out otherwise I only have 4 days to stress about it from CD 31-CD 35, lol. I am REALLY hoping for a temp shift tomorrow to confirm it though because if not I will probably still be stressing about O even though I don't want to. Did I mention I hate TTC?

[momamia4]

I agree two! I hate ttc. It is so stressful!! I feel so bad for DH today. I am apparently very cranky and already raised my voice at him without meaning to. I have a feeling it's going to be a very long day.

[TaytumJ]

Haha YES two!! I wish I would have known all those years that TTC isn't really that easy instead of stressing about avoiding it! They need warnings that say, "Women who get pregnant the first time are not normal." [emoji12] Hoping for a temp shift for you!

Welcome to the 2WW Yaybaby!

This morning I woke up and my dog had puked all over the carpet. [emoji30] Ugh. Other than that, no real symptoms/anything out of the ordinary. A few tingles, but not much else.

Ugh two, I agree with you on hating TTC! And it sounds like your body is not helping you figure anything out at this point, which definitely adds a whole load of extra stress. Sounds like you have a good plan in place though for the rest of the month. A lot of women don't get huge spikes after they O and get more of a gradual rise, so maybe that is the case for you too.

Thanks Taytum!

[twointow83]

Momamia- Aww, poor guy. Our hubby's really have to deal with a lot sometimes with our hormonal non-sense, lol. When do you plan to test?

Taytum- I know! My last preg was a "one hit wonder" so I am hoping for the same this time because the idea of repeating all this over again kinda makes me want to scream. BUT I know from my own history that 1HW are the exception, not the rule. I WISH it was as easy to get pregnant as they make it sound when they are trying to get you to abstain (in schools and such)... Though if you weren't trying and accidentally ended up preg after months and months of unprotected BD w/ no idea of when your TRUE fertile period is I suppose it could seem pretty effortless end up accidentally preggo.

Yaybaby- No, it's not helping AT ALL and it DEFINITELY makes things more stressful. I am an "old pro" at this TTC thing. I have spent about as much time in the TTC game as in the TTA game during the course of our marriage and I have been charting for nearly 90% of our marriage. If my body was acting normally I wouldn't even be in the same continent of stress levels as I am now. It's unnerving to suddenly have NO idea what is up with my body after nearly 8 years of knowing EXACTLY what is going on... even if I wasn't happy with what was going on at least I knew. Now, I have literally no freaking clue If I don't get a BFP this cycle I hope my OB will still want to do a follicle study... hopefully that will help me know WTH is happening (never had one so I am only guessing). I don't *normally* have slow rises. *Normally* my temp shoots up like a firecracker... but I guess this time anything is possible

I am going to try to hold out until 10dpo (I'm 7dpo today) but I'm going shopping today and might just stop and get some frers for tomorrow, lmao!!! I'm such a poas addict!!!

So, I have a temping question. Last night, I woke up at my usual temping time but I was freezing cold because DH took all the blankets so I was laying there uncovered. Because of this, my temp was lower than expected at 97.44. I decided to take my temp again (I usually temp when I randomly wake up in the middle of the night, which is oddly around the same time each night) after another 4 hours of sleep. This time, my temp was higher: 97.97. Do I use the temp from my normal temping time even though the circumstances were different than normal, or do I use the temp from 4 hours later? This is the first time that I've ever temped so I'm not sure what to do. TIA!

How do you temp? Oral or Vag?
