May 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

[HGmama]

HG- I wouldn't include a bd that wasn't 'finished' as an attempt. It's great you were exposed to pre-cum so still a small chance it *may* count but I wouldn't consider it one. It's more like an attempt using pull out method - possible but not probable....

Pbn3- so should i see if dh is up for another try or just let it be and see when he feels like it again?

[Pbn3]

Because there's so much uncertainty where you're at in your cycle I'd probably just try again tomorrow maybe? So he doesn't feel pressured tonight. Try and pick up e4d (72 hours) from then as best you can anyway. I cant your past cycles (other than the last which shows nothing) to see how your temps/cycles looked previously. Can you screenshot a couple? Do you think you've oed?? Any intuition telling you yay or nay?

Gafan I think you've oed cd19 looking at your temps. While it's possible to o same day as pos opk it's more common to o within 24-48 hours after. Ff may shift your crosshairs after some more temps have been entered but you may need to also change the chart analysis mode (we'll discuss that if it doesn't shift)

With your cm how are you reading it? Do you check it internally? The feel of it can really help determine what type it is.

Thanks, pbn. I am relieved that I didn't necessarily miss this chance. I am going to be E4D moving forward (Friday/Tuesday...). Given I have in all likelihood ovulated, should I do E4D over the 2ww or wait until next cycle to start?

I have been looking at and feeling mucus but usually when wiping externally, not an internal sample.

I historically have short cycles. My october and November cycles, i still had my mirena in and they were short. So there's still a possibility i O'ed based on similar charts in oct & nov 2017.

Here's oct and nov with the influence of mirena still in.

Gafan yes I would do e4d (96 hour version) during 2ww as it will give your body that bit extra exposure to sperm. Then from af finish to confirmed o I'd revert to e4d (72 hour version) Here's hoping you wont even need to worry about next cycle as this will be the one that brings your bfp [emoji173]

I would check cm internally around pos opk and the couple days following. No need to go poking your cervix or anything like that. I'd just insert a finger and check that way as I rarely had cm when I wiped. I was easily able to distinguish pre and post o cm after a few cycles and for me it was like clockwork. May be something to consider if there's a next cycle but its certainly not necessary if you're not comfortable doing it that way [emoji4]

[Pbn3]

Wow hgmama! Those are some short cycles! So I'm still on the fence as to whether you've oed or not although it's certainly looking more possible after seeing those past cycles. What is your body telling you? If you continue as best you can with e4d (whether 72 or 96 hours) you should get a valid attempt regardless for either scenario. Otherwise af will arrive and then hopefully things will become clear and readable [emoji4] Or af wont arrive and your bfp will [emoji8]

HANNAH! Yes! Gorgeous line!!!!

Sorry was a busy weekend. I hope everyone stateside had a wonderful Mother's Day! So many of us entering the 2ww! I'm hoping those that ovulate together BFP together <3

I am praying we caught our egg this cycle, but who knows. I thought I may have ovulated Friday, but then the OPK was positive again the next day, can you ovulate while still having an LH surge? I hope I didn't ovulate Friday mostly because then I am way less confident about that one attempt on CD8.

Kikurose I think you oed on Sunday but your next few temps will help confirm! Atomic wrote an excellant post just yesterday or day before in here regarding lh surges and opks if you can scroll back up and find it!

[HGmama]

Pbn3- what's my body telling me? My guess is that I'm jacked up at the moment. Yes, I did have a LH surge last week, but like atomic taught me... I could have been just having a practice run. I did have lower quadrant pain similar to what I believe ovulation pains are, but usually are one sided only. This time was left side one day and right side the other. So maybe it was just stool having problems getting through. Lots of it could have been this or that in my mind. So doing cheapie wondfo opks and not my clearblues. My plan is give it one more week. Either I get a BFP if I did O or I have no period for 8 weeks post d&c and I'll call my OB so I can get in before she goes on maternity leave herself.
