Hi ladies, how are you doing?

You said you might test today! Have you??

I feel out :/ yesterday I felt allll these weird twinges and random soreness on the side of my boobs near my armpits....but then it all went away by the afternoon and I feel nothing today. I'm thinking the weird twinges was from a difficult hike the OH and I went on.....which kind of just reminded me how out of shape we are!! Haha

I'm 8DPO today.....I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this week. But I only have 3 First Response tests and I refuse to waste them!!

I know what you mean about noticing all the weird twinges. It's interesting what you notice when paying attention.

Yesterday I had a ton of cm, which I don't think is usual for me. But I'm not sure since I never used to pay attention to it. It also had a weird AF smell (tmi) but no blood whatsoever. Very weird.

I agree, hold off on testing if you can. I only have the Internet cheapies so I don't know how sensitive those are. I'm just getting back from a small vacation and think I can hold off another day. I'll start testing tomorrow with fmu when I'm 10dpo.

Your temp has stayed nice and up...that's good. How long are your cycles?

I just noticed while sitting on the couch that I feel some slight cramping in my lower abdominal area.....I could be really digging for symptoms though!! Haha

I am still taking temps but there doesn't seem to be a clear pattern. After ovulation it seems that my temperatures have only risen .2 which doesn't seem like that much?! Which is making me question whether I ovulated at all! Anyone else have this happen?
If I did ovulate, I am 8DPO

What kind of thermometer do you use? I didn't really get clear temps until I just went and got a BBT.

I use a BBT from CVS. And I have a terrible habit of taking my temp again after my first result!! I may just take a break! It drives me nuts! haha!

I also got a positive opk sat! It was a full blown negative by sunday night so I am hoping that its safe to say that I have ovulated. Currently 1dpo and would love to join you ladies

Excited to be back in the running. Was actually thinking of buying some progesterone cream this time to make it a sticky bean. But not too sure! I have heard it helps make the bean stick to the uterine lining and u should start using it right after o!

I'm expecting this cycle to be about 28 days.

Cramping is good at 8dpo. Could be implantation right... I can't wait for us to finally start testing. Lots of baby dust to us.

Hey, put your chart on your signature so we can chart stalk. Does the website that you use think you ovulated?

I've heard the cream also helps with lengthening the luteal phase so it gives a better chance of implantation. How long is your LP?

Soontobepreg: I didn't pay for FF so my free trial is up and it doesn't show the red lines on mine. here's my chart on the app my days.

Merrier, I'm not seeing a shift in temps that shows you ovulated. It usually should stay up for three days after ovulation. That doesn't mean you didn't o, it just means the chart isn't showing that you did.
FF is still helpful even without the subscription. It just limits access to some information. However, it allows you to do one chart cycle at a time, and it would give you crosshairs if it thought you ovulated.

Are you still testing with opks?

Maybe - it didn't last very long and I don't feel anything now. Although I'm being a horrible person and I have had quite a lot to drink today. Spaced out but a lot. Brunch with friends and a few mimosas...then girls afternoon and a few glasses of wine :/ hope I didn't ruin things...but I just didn't want to miss out when I don't even know....I guess it's ok....it's only a weekend thing, but still...

Right now my boobs are super sore and they feel huge!! I feel huge in general, but I know I've gained weight lately.

Beachy, I know it's hard sometimes during the tww when you feel you're giving stuff up and getting no results. Hopefully this cycle is it for us.

So I tested today and bfn. I was disappointed even though I know it's early. No more testing for me until Friday.

How many DPO are you? If I didn't think it would be a BFN I would have tested this morning too. My temp's right now keep going up and down. It's annoying.

Feel nothing today - although I tried to reach my CP this morning and I couldn't it was so high up. Not sure if this is normal for me or not. I mean I know last cycle my CP stayed high until my period, but this was so high I could barley touch it with the tip of my finger.

Can't read too much into that, but I am going to since it's the only thing I have going on right now! Haha....and every once in a while this morning I've gotten these weird little vibration feelings (weird, kind of like fluttering) coming from my lower abdomen. Has anyone ever felt that before?

 

[Merrier12]

Soontobepreg: I did temp with OPKS and I had a postive on CD11. So, I'm guessing I ovulated on CD 12 which means I am 10 DPO now. Also, I work night shift so my temping May all be inaccurate. so, I really just need to rely on opk tests!

Symtpoms: I had a temp drop at 6dpo but I had the same thing last month so I'm guessing this is normal for me and doesn't mean implantation. Also, I have a distinct uterine cramp about 2-3 times per day the last 3 days or so. Not sure what they mean. But, I'm not going to test until I miss my period. (Due in a week) I can't take anymore BFNs

Ok, gotcha. Your temp on CD11 confused me since it's the highest you've had so far, and it made the other ones after seem like they were lower. But after re-looking at your chart, you might even have ovulated on CD9.

Anyways, I'm totally with you on the BFNs, I'm waiting until Friday to test too which is when I expect AF to arrive. The cramping sounds positive, is it something new?

Hey, I'm 11dpo today. I don't know much about CPs, what positions would you expect during the cycle?

 

[Merrier12]

Soontobepreg: my EWCM started on cd 9. I've been thinking I was ovulating early because my sex drive is crazy the week after my period. Also, 2 days after my OPK was positive, my face broke out my boobs were tender so I assumed I had just ovulated because those are symptoms of increased progesterone. My boobs are still tender and it's 10dpo. I BDed on Cd 10 & 11 so fingers crossed I ovulated after those days.
About the cramps, I had similar cramps last month pretty much throughout the TWW but they were very mild. Who knows?! I just started keeping up with my symptoms jan 1st. I keep a book now where I write down everything!
