I'm not ~sure~ but from what I've "heard", it's possible to not have O'd but still have nice cycles. I got my info from what someone said on a FertilityFriend forum so take it w/a grain of salt...Hoping someone can give you a definite answer here...

yeah it would be possible to have regular but anovulatory cycles, but it would be very unusual. If you have a perfect regular cycle you will almost certainly be OVing each time

however, it's possible to have slow-rising temps after OV

auroara - from what I've read, a distinct thermal shift (at least 3 days of elevated temperatures) is the only way to know that you've O'd. You can get +OPKs and not actually O.

This cycle I got a +OPK on the day after O. I ran out of OPKs at that point and so haven't taken any more. It's probably a good thing, because it was making me second guess all of the other signs my body was giving me that O had happened.

Oh, and to answer your question, OoTB, we leave Nova Scotia on Thursday morning, but the current plan is to drive straight from the airport on our arrival to my Mom's place, which is only about 2 hours away from there. It just didn't seem to make sense to drive back home an hour in the opposite direction from my Mom's, only to turn around in a day or two and drive all the way to visit her. A visit with my Mom, though, is the absolute opposite of my experience here. She is most in her element playing with my kids, and it gives me the only true 'break' I get from them. She's also my best friend, and she and I like to go shopping together once the kids are in bed for the night. I will be visiting my Dad in the hospital while I'm there, though, (he's still very sick - he's been there 8 weeks now), so there will be a bit of stress surrounding that trip.

Thanks ladies for your advice...I know I threw a ton of questions out there!

Jen, have you fully started bleeding yet, or is it just spotting still? I know you tested on Christmas Day and it was neg, but wasn't that only 10 dpo???

Mocha, I think your attempts were fab. I really feel good for you this month! Jaime, I said in a different post, but I feel really serene about your attempt and just have this feeling that this could be your time for a BFP!!

The way I was right before midnight beginning Christmas Eve, when I tried to convince DH to have a go at it (and he said no), I was feeling very very anxious to have sex, etc, so I with all that said, I think my body was ramping up for a last chance before the egg dropped down. I really think my egg dropped down right around when Christmas Eve happened, thus rendering my attempt on Christmas Day itself pointless, but making my attempt on the 22nd very interesting. That would've been a 1.5 / 2 day cut off, which is promising.

I am promising myself that I will stop obessing and see what happens. You never know, it may still be a decent attempt. I did not use any represh, because while i did have some EWCM, it wasn't what it usually is, and it wasn't so much that it was alarming me, either.

I

you all so much, you give me so much support, thank you!!!

TTC can be so confusing, esp. when you throw swaying into the mix! Thanks again for everything!

Out of the Blue,
Thanks so much for your encouragement. It really means so much to me. I really have absolutely noone to talk to about this swaying stuff. My DH is really no help with it other than his sample LOL! I am feeling more blue this month because I have had so many pregnancy announcements this Christmas, and I am simply jealous. I really am and feel like I will never have a daughter of my own. I think this is the hardest month swaying ever. My emotions are so uncontrollable this month. I am so hormonal, that I can hardly stand to be around myself!!!!!

Ladies,
Thanks so much from the bottom of my broken heart. You all have been wonderful and I am trying to respond to all the posts and intend to as soon as I have a moment. I don't know what I would do without you all. You all totally get me and I thank God for bringing me to this group after being on IG for so long. You all have been so nice and supportive, that I can only try to return the favor. God bless you all through the New Year with +HPTs, wealth and happiness!!!

hi, ladies! I have been in bed for the last 36 hours with an awful stomach bug, not sure if its from Mexico or not, but all my effort to regain weight those 7 days has left me with nada! I'm down to 93 and haven't even truly started the diet again as I have been sick! This LE is going to be difficult to do. I feel like I totally wasted last month and I had such a strong O too, it was so painful for so many days and this after not ovulating for so many months! I just hope my body does the same thing next month.

How is everyone? I feel like everyone feels a little down? It looks like many of us O'd on cristmas eve, including myself (although I didn't attempt, ha!). I wish there was a way for us to meet in person for a girl's night out!

Aurora-how are things with dh?

sorry you've been sick, that must be really stressful

I also felt like my cycle of regaining weight was wasted as I lost it all again within a week of restarting the LE diet. I decided to just TTC anyway even though I haven't been on the diet the full 6 weeks as I can't last on it either

I hope it's ok for me to spread lots of babydust to you ladies, I'm sorry so many of you are having a rough time x

**auroara78** · December 27th, 2011, 02:27 PM

Amari, it sucks to be unable to attempt

I feel for you, darling, so sorry about the stomach bug!

KrazeyDaisy, big hugs hunny! I feel for u so much....that is long time to be TTC! I also agree it really helps to have support and encourgement....may we all be blessed with super awesome BFPs in 2012!!!
