Lisa, hello! yay! Always awesome welcoming another buddy! Where you from?

Originally Alaska but currently in Vegas
How about you?

Hello ladies! Seems like we are all in the same stages of our cycle. I added a temp in for tomorrow on FF, and it suggested that today is O day! Which would make sense. Whoop whoop! Tomorrow I'll be 1 DPO and will be testing 8DPO. I know I know, I should wait but I just can't! EEEK!


@mridula so glad hubby is on board! Yay! And regarding the difficulties are explaining how conceiving works to the men, I know all about it. He thought that I could only get preggies the day of ovulation. I had to explain how sperm stays intact up to 7 days and what fertile cm is bla bla bla.. I ended up telling him to just listen to what I say and when I say take off your clothes, just do it. Hahaha!when is your birthday? I'm the 20th.


Lol
My birthday is on July 31st. I am eating foods that increases fertility.. I have asked my OH to do the same.. He's more excited than I am..and I am happy about that.

South Africa.. ooh Vegas! Sounds like my kinda country.

 

[Cath_Heather]

That's great news! I think it takes awhile for someone to warm up to change in general. My OH was a bit uncertain. We only started TTC when I knew he was 100% in.

So my temp didn't sky rocket like it should after O. Its in the normal range, so I dont know if I have ovulated or not. I was so certain I'm gonna try not look so deep into it.

South Africa sounds awesome!
Pretty sure I ovulated sometime last night/this morning according to opks. I'm only on CD10 so I wasnt expecting that. Also hubby has a kidney stone so I'm kind of disappointed because we aren't even trying because of how much pain hes been in over it. I hate that I'm watching a cycle pass me by.

CD10 is nice and early, but not if you can't make the most of it. Did you get any BD in at all? Still no sign of O for me. I could swear I ovulated on CD 13 but CD15 now and the EWCM has showed up again after having a day of pretty much no CM. I think if nothing happens this cycle, I'll use OPKs. I hate not knowing lol. Rate I'm just going to wait to see if AF comes.

 

[Kimmy1990]

Day 5dpo for me. Boobs are killing me but that is pretty common after o for me. I’m really hoping this is my cycle. No new symptoms yet but it still so early. Every day seems to take longer to get through. I know I’ll be disappointed if af shoes her face this month but trying to stay positive

Oooh you could be the first of us to be preggies. When are you planning on testing?

I’m not testing until 26th which is the day af is due based on o date and then again on 28th as this is when again is due based on my regular cycle as I definitely o’d early.

No, no BD blah! Still just waiting. I suppose the bright side is at least I know what to expect with the ovulation tests. There's even an app and it makes it SOOO much easier than the last time we ttc. I always sucked at reading them and just dtd anytime there was any kind of line on the opk if you want the name of the ones I use let me know. They're pretty darn cool.

 

[Kimmy1990]

So 8dpo for me today and I woke up feeling so nauseous. I think it’s too early for it to be pregnancy related but definitely starting to symptom spot. My boobs are also becoming more sore by the day but that can be general pms. Waiting a week to test still but I know it’s going to be a long wait.

I use Fertility Friend and it's really accurate. Log my temps at 5am before I get out of bed and monitor my cm.. normally gives me a pretty accurate day that ovulation takes place. I need to buy some tests if I end up on the next cycle. Holding thumbs it isn't the case. I hope OH is better soon, next cycle is your cycle! Baby dust going your way xx

I must take my hat off to you. I would have tested by now. I'm probably 4dpo, and eager to test. So is OH! Haha

 

[Cath_Heather]

@Kimmy1990 are these tests expensive? The one you use. I was thinking of getting cheapies from Ebay.

Thanks! I'm sure it will be! Fx for you that this is the one! I'm not good at waking up early or remembering things first thing in the morning so opks are way easier for me

I use FRER and last time I hit them I got a 6 pack which included 1 free and they weren’t cheap but I’m not going to say expensive either. In Australia we don’t have the cheap ones like in America that I always see people writing about. I’ve contemplated getting some cheapies off eBay but I’m not sure if they are any good (I can never see the vvvvvfl on them ) and don’t want to waste money lol. Thus why I’m not testing until at is due.

I think the bulk cheapies are nice for people who want to start testing at 1dpo like me... got a peeing on a stick addiction. I have no clue when I ovulated or if I even have. My temps are being stupid and staying low. But Im also not sleeping well so about 4 temps I've discarded. I'm just gonna test on Saturday. That will put me at CD23.

 

[Cath_Heather]

Regarding temping, im terrible at waking up early but I have a 5am alarm that goes off to temp and my thermometor is kept right next to my pillow. I close my eyes and it beeps when done but also records the last temp so I can read it when I'm properly awake.

 

[Kimmy1990]

I’ve never temped. I feel I’m pretty in tune with mu body but I o’d early this month so would have been nice to have seen that coming.

I’m 10dpo today and feeling like shit. I think thrush is starting to come (never had had in tww so could be related or maybe not) then my chest. Yesterday boobs pain felt like it was decreasing, then today I have woken up and not only are my boobs hurting, but my ribs also. No nausea this morning. Tempted to test but going to just wait until Sunday just Incase lol. I don’t want to see another negative test.

 

[kittykat7210]

I don’t think I’ve ovulated since I started temping 2 months ago, I don’t get a good rise at all, nothing like my pre DD cycles I take my temp at the same time every day (8am) not sure what’s going on really
