Eeeek, looks awesome cosmo!

Unless monitored daily by u/s there is no real way to be sure of ovulation. We are just guestimating here. I am a weird one and I temp everyday, but I don't follow the "rules." I get up and go to the bathroom and temp while I am peeing. I could have been awake for a few minutes or an hour. It is really had to say as my 18mo is still nursing and is in bed with us most of the time. I don't use a BBT thermometer, just a regular one. But for me it works, I can still see a clear thermal shift in most of my charts. So it is one less thing for me to stress about. I take my temp, record it, and forget about it. I have had far too many charts to analyze it all anymore. I have had wonderful charts be BFN and crazy wonky charts be my BFP.

Robin - sorry the supps are so messy for you. I pray that you don't have to use them long.

Cosmos - lots of great information. Thank you. Looking at everything on your chart, I would put O on CD17. But that is just my hunch. Either way, you have your bases covered. Now the wait begins.

Max - for your question of having another, it is soley up to you and DH, but I know from experience, time can change your thoughts. I thought I would be done with 3 kids. And look at me now going for #5. Life just happens and things change. Just search your heart and you will know the truth. I honestly feel that you will be Oing soon, but you are WAY stressed about it. There is nothing you can do about it but just let it happen. That is why DH and I are going for E4D. I don't have to stress over a +OPK and all that. Way more fun too. Just a thought.

AFM - I am sitting here at 7dpo with all of these crazy symptoms, but I am sure it is nothing. I have had a weird taste in my mouth for the past few days that just will not go away. I have been nauseous. And my milk supply has changed. So of course I tested and it was BFN. And honestly I do not want to get my BFP yet. I have been too lax on the diet and everything because DH threw my hip out again. I am really happy that my LP is improving though! It was all of 4 days last "cycle". At least I seem to be regulating a bit.

I'm having O pains today loooool. My cervix came down a bit, which is good.The opening and closing part is tough for me because I haven't given birth vaginally and my cervix didn't dilate past 3. I can tell when its super closed right before ans after AF, but in between it feels pretty much the same. We'll see what happens.

@Shann, I agree. It is all speculation and the exact time of egg release is something we cannot be 100% sure of.

Cosmo, I'm also having O pains. And seeing more CM today. I took another cheapie opk and it was dark, but not positive. My mother in law arrives tonight and is staying with us until Tuesday. Let's see how the stress of having her further delays my O! She's a whole other story.... [emoji12]

Girl on top or missionary is what I have heard. With a shallow release. Not sure if it really matters tbh.

[Shannshaff]

Oh add another "symptom", I am weepy at everything the past 2 days. I am not much of a crier. But dang, I am ready to cry at anything right now.

@maxim , I'm not sure that positions matter. The deeper penetration positions are suggested for boy, but how deep your partner gets depends on him, not the position. Shallow release can cause an accidental pull out imo lol.

@shann, I hop this is it for you! <3

and that ladies is why I have never bothered with temps. Unpredictable wake up times, & too many other variables such as weather, clothing & bedding. I just cant see how it is reliable. That & the fact that it would be something else to obsess about. I am trying to avoid overthinking at all costs!

Agreed! The stress would end me.

Maxim your test will be positive later in the evening/night is my bet. Some women ovulate very quickly after their surge. It's within 72 hours is what mine have been telling me.. that means literally any time after you have a solid smiley or positive opk the egg can pop. Any. Time.

Lots of women average 24-48 hours, and some are closer to the 72 HR mark. I ovulate after 48 hrs for sure closer to 72.. everyone is different

Cosmo I don't think yours are O pains. I think you are feeling corpus Luteum pain! I had it awful with DD3 the entire 2ww and first 2 months of pregnancy.. the bigger the egg the bigger the CL left behind

Maxim because I am certain you will have a solid smiley tonight I do believe yours are O pains and you are going to ovulate sooner rather than later in the ovulation window. 24 hrs or less.
