33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

Sadako, great rise! Your chart is looking so good.

It's not bad, I'm not sure if FF will put me ovulating sat or Sun. Should find out tomorrow anyway.

Curious, yours is looking fab too.

Yeah Rics quite a few of us in the 2ww. Fx for us all! We should start a group testing thread!

I've had bright yellow pee from taking the fizzy barocca multivitamins before. I think if you have too much of one vitamin then your body just pees it out.
It freaked me out one day

I've been getting my water down me today and I bought some grapefruit juice as last time it gave me lots of ewcm so I could figure out ovulation easily.
I haven't seen any yet so just waiting.

 

[happycupcake]

PG5K be careful of grapefruit juice making cystitis worse, I know you're meant to avoid acidic/citrus fruits and juices.
Ginger tea seems to help me, and also something warm in the area as well.
I found just drinking lots of water helped with ewcm

Thanks! My signs were not at all ambiguous this cycle.

Yours'll be Sunday. And you'll need a third high temp before you get crosshairs (I've temped probably 25 cycles in FF!)

 

[SadakoS]

I agree actually. My last decent cycle I had a small temp rise day after O then a much bigger one the day after. My small one this time isn't high enough. I hope my timing was OK. Would have dtd again on Sunday but I was too sore. Plus it's super awkward with my mum staying with us!

 

[ricschick]

I no what you mean about awkward we're at the caravan and if we are too vigorous lol the tv in the living rooms shakes so we have to be so slow it's hard work lol.

 

[curiousowl]

lol Rics. So funny.

 

[happycupcake]

Rics

I guess this could be coincidence but I used the cream yesterday and my temp leapt today, higher than my previous cycles vaginal temping (which my husband told me earlier sounds like I hire my vag through an agency when I say temping lol), anyway thought I'd post a photo of them together, top is current chart on its own, middle is current compared to cycle before and bottom is compared to the cycle before that, current in purple

 

[SadakoS]

That looks promising Cupcake!

 

[ricschick]

Oh I hope it works cupcake!! All looking good!!! Xx

 

[ladders]

That's a great temp rise cupcake! And that did make me laugh what your dh said!
On CD 15 now and previously iv gotten my positive opk on cd17 once ovulating the next day and once on the day so I'm hoping to try to time a bd the day before a positive opk so not sure as we be last night do I give it a miss tonight or go again. I'm just conscious of starting everyday too early and then dh won't put out long enough to cover o 🤣🤣

 

[curiousowl]

Lol, so funny cupcake. Yes, great rise. Progesterone can definitely do that your temp. It's why I haven't been temping this TWW.

 

[happycupcake]

Lol he made me laugh so much when he said that. It was first thing, I was surprised to see temp go up that much so I showed him in my surprise and he said that

Ladders, I generally do it each day if we can or just when the mood takes us, which coincidentally is usually daily around ovulation. But if that doesn't work for you then maybe tomorrow then the next day or day after?

Curious, why don't you? Because it makes it stay high anyway? You mean to avoid that false hope thing, assuming high temps may mean pregnancy? Sorry if I have that all wrong! I temp all the time except the first few days of af, because otherwise I don't remember to so I try to stick to routine. But if my temps stay higher than they usually would, and for longer, then its confirmation to me that it's actually doing something which is good. I know not to get my hopes up though with temps being high. I know they *can* mean pregnancy, but I know they can just be high because of progesterone without pregnancy anyway so that's ok

 

[curiousowl]

Cupcake, yup, pretty much. My temps last cycle after I started the progesterone were abnormally high and steady, which is normal for being on progesterone. Since it won't tell me anything there feels like no point to me and then I might as well just not worry about it. I can see the point of staying in the habit though. Really I think it's one of those, whatever works!

 

[happycupcake]

Yeah I agree, Curious. I can completely see why one may choose not to temp during their lp, but my memory is so rubbish I have to keep doing it plus I'm interested to see if there's a continuous improvement with temps as well. They were ok before, but I have seen them dip more and more about half way through my lp, which I don't know if it's normal or a sign of low progesterone. But I know to stop using the stuff if I don't see a positive test. It must be a little less stressful doing it your way though

 

[Sander]

Hey guys, sorry I've been silently stalking. Glad everyone is doing well

No one is responding on my test thread so I thought I'd double post here - what do you think are you seeing that faint line? I never get evaps on these tests but I am for real seeing something without holding it under a million different lights

 

[Alligator]

Sander - I think I see something too. VVVFL.... how many DPO are you? Test again with FRER or FMU?? GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[Sander]

Hi Alligator - don't think we've talked before, welcome to the thread
9dpo today, and yes this was smu. If it still looks like this tomorrow with fmu I'll buy an FRER. I'm just so excited because I'm person it's a lot easier to see, and I've never had faint lines this dark before - it's always ended up my imagination but this one is legitimately visible!

 

[curiousowl]

Sander, I see that! That's what my lines looked like at 9dpo last cycle and they were real so FX!

 

[ricschick]

Sander definitely see that!! Eek!!!
