Curious - I'm glad to hear you've started with progesterone. What CD are you?

I finally got a positive OPK guys, it took until CD 24. I also had a temp dip today of about 0.3 degrees F. (Although I did have a few drinks last night so that could definitely have contributed) Hopefully though it means O is happening! We've been BD'ing every 2 days since CD14 so are starting to get tired haha

Currently CD14. I'm about to go take another OPK (started this morning) but I am likely still 4 or 5 days from O. I'll start the progesterone once I confirm O.

Glad you're close to O! Late O is rough.

How was your OPK Curious?

I know, but it totally explains my cycles aren't super regular - as long as I actually O I'm happy!!

I have a relative that got pregnant and is due in October. I'm having major jealousy problems even though she's a pretty distant relative. We follow each other on instagram and I'm so tired of the baby bump and nursery pictures. Every time I see my dad he's like oh did you hear she's pregnant? They're having a girl! You guys shouldn't hurry up and give me a grandbaby. I'm like we're trying!! It's so frustrating how some people just seem to expect it'll happen instantly. We've barely told anyone we're TTC but the people we have told are a real pain in the a**

After having clear positives from 7-10dpo, they turned fainter and fainter and today are completely negative. Temps have dipped, due af today so am waiting for it to arrive. Doesn't feel too far away. I've been extremely stressed out the previous few days, so it isn't surprising to me it's happened again.
However, I'm going to take the fact this time we saw a positive FRER as a good sign that things seem to be progressing a little further each time, so perhaps next cycle will be more positive.
I hope everyone else is ok

Super negative. I'm taking another one right now.

 

[curiousowl]

My chart is freaking me out a little. It almost looks like I O'd. That would be unheard of for me but it does happen I guess. At least we have 1 well timed BD if that's the case. I guess tomorrow's temp will tell. It will either be higher or lower. I've definitely had some earlier high temps in previous cycles before O around CD19. I will definitely pick up my progesterone today, just in case.

Bless you ladders!! 💗💗💗

Cupcake oh no I was so hopeful for you this cycle!!! Sorry Hun. Xxx

Sanders I too ov late!! It's so Annoying and long! Lol but I'm glad you have ov in the end!!!

I'm not sure if I've ovulated or am about too still haven't gotten a clear positive on an opk but I'm using new ones which arnt as sensitive but I've had a lot of ewcm yesterday and am crampy so I'm not sure. My mmc seems to have lengthened my cycle 😡 By about 5 days which is bloody annoying as it was long enough to begin with!

 

[curiousowl]

Sorry Rics, that's so frustrating.

Sorry this cycle didn't work out cupcake

Sander, other people's pregnancies can be hard. I'm definitely feeling it right now too. And people don't get it at all when it comes to TTC.

 

[SadakoS]

Ladders, I'm so heartbroken for you. I hope you are doing ok.
Cupcake, gutted for you too, was sure this was your month.

I'm cd10 at the mo, took soy iso days 3-7. Having ewcm today but negative opk. I usually O late, recently it's been between cd24 and cd34. Hoping it's going to be earlier this time!

 

[ricschick]

How would you guys interpret these instructions? X

 

[curiousowl]

Rics, I've never seen an OPK that didn't have to have a test line as dark or darker than the control for it to be positive. That seems super confusing to me. I guess I'd still call it negative?

 

[Sander]

Rics where on earth did you buy those? That seems like the most confusing OPK ever haha. I dunno it looks negative but the instructions are weird so who knows. But if we both O late maybe we can be TWW buddies

Sorry cupcake, how disappointing. I was following your thread in the pregnancy test section. Hopefully next cycle will be positive and stay that way!!

Curious your temps do look like you might have O'd. Although you need 3 high temps to confirm on FF right? So you should know more tomorrow.

I got my temp spike this morning so I'm pretty sure O happened! This means my cycle will be 39 days this month - soooo long. I heard O'ing late is bad for getting pregnant - something about the uterine lining being too old to implant. Has anyone else heard that or is it just your LP length that's important?

 

[curiousowl]

Sander, yes, if tomorrow is as high or higher I think it will give me crosshairs. But I'm assuming it will be lower. I don't think I've O'd yet.

I haven't heard that about getting pregnant, just that it's harder because you get less chances to try. When we were TTC DD I got pregnant on CD32, had a CP, then 2 cycles later O'd on CD28 and had DD!

 

[ricschick]

I've always had irregular long cycles and I have 5 children so that wasn't true for me!! X

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh no cupcake I really thought this would be the month. How strange that this Kees happening. I think I would be tempted to wait for AF next cycle.

Rics really not sure about that test! Hope you get some answers soon.

Ladders I know you probably aren't reading but I hope you are coping alright and that you come back and join us eventually.

Hi to everyone I've missed...

 

[curiousowl]

Much lower temp so whew! I was a little crazy about it this morning. First I woke up at 4:30, probably because I was worried about what my temp would be, I laid there for a couple minutes trying to fall back asleep before I gave up and took my temp. I thought it might be high because I'd been awake for a bit but it's the one on my chart so super low! Then when I woke up at 7am, I took it again, just to be sure that my other temp wasn't low just because it was so early, even though it hadn't been that much consistent sleep. And it still wasn't as high as yesterday. So I'm relieved. And I peed on an O double check test, with my OPK this morning. Both negative, so I'm relieved!

 

[curiousowl]

Although, I just tried putting my second temp into FF and it gave me crosshairs. Grrr. I am 100% sure I am not 3dpo so I will ignore that and keep on.

 

[ricschick]

I think I take yesterday as ovulation day as it was cd25 I also had very light pink spotting while having a few strong cramps and those tests arnt as sensitive as the ic I normally use so I'm putting all that together and coming up with ovulation. Lol. But il test each day to be sure.

 

[curiousowl]

Gah!!! I'm in the airport, about to get on a 6 hour flight with DH and DD. I took an OPK and it was super positive! This morning was super negative. Noooo! I wanted to hit a day or 2 before this time and we can't BD until we get to my parent's house and then we will be super exhausted, etc. If I O tomorrow it will be 2 days earlier than normal. My body is the worst! I'm hoping that since my pee now was super, super dark that it's not quite as positive as it would be otherwise and maybe will still be positive in the morning and I'll O the day after tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

 

[Sander]

Could someone do me a big favour and take a look at my chart? My temp dipped a little today and I don't know why. Honestly it feels like I've O'd because I'm feeling uck like I usually do during LP. Played around with temps and if I get 98.1 or higher tomorrow FF will give me crosshairs with O date CD25 - has anyone else seen a dip on 2DPO?

 

[curiousowl]

That's a pretty small dip Sander, I wouldn't be worried at all. I think you O'd!
