Frakkin' February 2WW

[Burakoam]

high estrogen in the 2ww as long as it is balanced with a good amount or high progesterone is good. It can be an early sign your body is trying to sustain 'something' because both of those hormones will be much higher than they are when not pregnant the whole pregnancy and fluctuate throughout. I dont know that it will pick it up on the OPK only because once you get a solid the internal state of the OPK should reset and will read your first test as a 'baseline' of hormones meaning you are more likely to get a low result and then another day you may get high if your estrogen is continuing to rise..but careful with those OPK's because you could also get a solid smiley from early early early HCG that will totally throw you off...LOL test reads HCG just like it does LH in your urine. it cant distinguish which is which.

eta: as someone who experienced first response 12 some years ago when they were still brand new pregnancy tests and technology i just want to add that i hate the curved handle ones too. I feel they are less sensitive actually. I know what the box and personal experience states and god knows i took one along with my digital this last BFP but i still hated that ANY digital could have such a for sure "YOU ARE PREGNANT YAY" and the curved handle FRER was a line SOOO squint worthy that if i had relied just on that i would have 100% not believed i was pregnant. It did look like an indent line, and i think thats why people dislike them. That and the fact the old ones caught the low levels of HCG and lines got VERY dark very quickly..i feel like they made the tests so they dont do that anymore. the test line is seemingly ALWAYS very light

Haha I just Google these things and it told me that heartburn is from progesterone!
So if I use a clearblue digital advanced ovulation test ... would it show a smiley face then if I'm producing estrogen? ��
I have some left I could try

You always produce estrogen, it just rises and falls. Same goes for progesterone. During a regular cycle, your estrogen begins to slowly rise leading up to ovulation. Then it slowly goes back down and progesterone takes over for a couple of weeks. If there is no pregnancy, then progesterone begins to drop and that's when digestive issues may occur. Finally it drops drastically (even lower than the already low estrogen) and AF arrives. Then the cycle begins again.

During early pregnancy, both estrogen and progesterone begin to rise and continue to rise steadily throughout the pregnancy and then everything drops upon delivery.

It is when estrogen is higher than progesterone that we feel all the discomfort like digestive issues, sore breasts, PMS and so forth.

I personally always get very loose stools a few days before O and then again a couple of days before AF. I can tell where I'm at in my cycle with my BM's alone lol.

I'm unsure that the tests will tell you anything. Unfortunately this is just a waiting game u_u.

This is the curved one.

Oh wow! I've never seen that kind, it's definitely curved! Think I'll just stick with my straight FRERs since they've been sensitive for me.

I can attest that they are not as sensitive as the flat ones. On 10dpo in the evening, I got faint lines on a curved FRER and a Wondfo. The next morning with FMU, the lines on both were definitely light pink. I will say it didn't look like an evap line- it looked like a faint pink line the night before.

The stores here in the US don't carry the flat FRERS anymore by themselves. Instead, they are sold in a package with their digital test and there is only one of each in the package [emoji20].

Alright, so what do you classify stringy+lotiony white CM? There is no snot option on FF.

Its creamy. some creamy breaks easy and some is a little more stretchy but not like EWCM..you just have fertile creamy CM...your descriptions are spot on cosmo

I always make a note that says "snot-like cm." I think it's hilarious that you think it looks the same as I do. Lmao!

lol..yup - creamy cm Cosmos. I think we need to have FF make a snot option

[XXforhubby]

I seriously laughed so hard at this, Cosmosis! When I first started charting, I googled "snot-like" cm and learned it was creamy. Seriously, who termed it creamy? That would not be my definition! EWCM is very specific in its description, yet creamy seems like it should be diffuse- like cream. Snot/lotion-like is anything but that!

I third FF should have a snot CM option, haha!
