I think this cycle is a bust for me also, my chart is a MESS.. I would post it but it is so embarassing, temps all over the place (and I take them at the same time very morning, give or take 10 min).. FF says I may have O'd on CD8 and its now CD23 and my temps are going way down. I guess I'll just have to wait and see!

If you O'd on CD8 and it's CD23 then you'd be past the TWW and can test

Just a thought! When is AF predicted to come?

I'm SO in that "AF stay away but if you're going to show, COME NOW" mode...just want a clear start again. I hate waiting...and not knowing where my body is at in the cycle...

I took a cheapie test yesterday BFN just in case I did O but I didn't expect anything since my temp dropped wayy down. Im so confused, I dont even know when AF is supposed to show, if I O'd on CD 8 it says today (not likely and no sign of it yet) if not maybe May 7th?

I HATE that feeling, FX for you that she doesnt show and you get your BFP!

Hey girls,
I am CD7 right now. I have a question for everyone. How do you tell the difference between normal CM and seminal fluid? We have started to BD every other day this cycle since AF left. The first time I was totally dry the day after. Today I have been having clear stretchy (like EWCM) but I am only on CD7 and don't think I could be ovulating. I was going to start my OPK on day 10 so I haven't started yet, don't want to miss it but don't want to waste them. I keep thinking that my cycles so far have been too long to be ovulating now... Then again my cycles have been crazy. So confused... Any input would be appreciated.

Hi daisy! If your cycles are irregular, than anything is possible! So far since coming off BCP my cycles have been 27, 31, 29 and then 19 days! Seminal fluid dries up quickly on your fingers where as CM doesn't. It also smells different if you wanna go that route

lol I'd test - its just one stick!!!

Thanks MrsChezek,

I did end up testing and it was negative. We still made sure to BD just in case

I researched a bit online and it said if it was CM and you put it in water it will most likely ball up sink. If it was seminal fluid it would dissolve. Well mine went in a ball and sank (sorry tmi), but I don't think I am ovulating. No other symptoms. I am going to keep testing daily, doing temps and of course lots of BD and see where the month takes us! How are things going with you today?

Wow Daisy, I've never heard that before, it sounds like a fun science experiment though!!

Its never a bad idea to BD just in case. In the past few cycles we started around CD10 and stopped after I thought I O'd with no luck, but this cycle we started BD every other day since CD8 and im not stopping until AF comes (or BFP, but im not counting on that!) since I have NO idea when I O'd.

FX for you!

Good strategy! Can't go wrong with lots of BDing

I'm alright! Thanks for asking. Still no AF or PMS...waiting!

I'm a little confused :S I had a bit of a weird cycle last month which lasted 26 days. I got a positive OPK on CD16 so when "AF" showed, I was about 10dpo...I had a really light period this month, a mixture of brown discharge and a small amount of bleeding..I used a mooncup for the first time this AF and there was never anything more than a drop of two every time I removed it, which lasted till last night (So my period lasted 3 days)

The reason I'm confused is I mentioned to my DH earlier on that my hormones must be racing around this month because I feel really crampy down there...he's working tonight and I thought on the off chance I'll take an internet cheapie test, and it's come up with the lightest second line...not very visible at all, but I've not had this with any other tests I've taken of the same brand...I'm now very confused what's happening?

lpjkp · Apr 26th, 2012, 13:46 PM

I've uploaded a piccie, it's so hard to take a photo of but I can see it if I tilt my laptop screen...how would I know it's more likely to be an evap line?

Cautious congrats lpjkp!! It could be that there's a bit of hCG in your system but not enough for a stronger line. I'd wait and test again tomorrow with FMU and with a noncheapie test!! That light period could have been implantation bleeding
