33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[curiousowl]

Idk what my body is doing. Now 2 days post positive OPK and no temp rise. I just want to be in the TWW.

Sometimes it takes a few days for temps to increase enough for the app to confirm ovulation. They have increased, they just haven't increased hugely, yet. I'm sure you will see a better increase soon. When do you usually ovulate?

Last 2 cycles were CD17. Before that mostly 19. Occasionally 18. A couple times 20. I'm still in range, it's just frustrating. I almost always see a nice jump.

Curious I love what your husband said that's hilarious 😂.

I hope you get your temp rise!! Xx

 

[happycupcake]

Curious, CD18 wouldn't surprise me, hopefully your temps reflect this soon! Or if you haven't ovulated yet, then hopefully this will happen soon

Maybe! That would just be so weird. I never (in 20+ cycles) have had post-O temps that low.

Sometimes things change for whatever reason but you know yourself better than anyone how are the temps today?

I ovulated CD10 which is on the earlier side for me. So I'm currently 4dpo. Thing is though, I had some painful ovulation pains early hours (2am) CD11 so I don't know if I actually ovulated right then, or if I did CD10 and just had pains from after. Had a temp shift CD11, which would have only been 5-6 hours after those pains (which continued all that AM actually). I shall have to keep it in mind I may be a day behind what Fertility Friend puts me at.
Also I started using the progesterone cream but 100mg (split into two) after reading more about it being used for this and my temp dipped today, anyone know if this is ok?

 

[ricschick]

Cupcake I had a dream about you, you put a test on that was soo positive!! Lol.

Did they not do blood then this month? Xx

 

[happycupcake]

Rics, was I in the form of a cupcake? Lol! I hope your dream is a premonition
Are you asking me about bloods? I asked them for a CD21 blood test to check progesterone the cycle before this one and they messed it up and gave me a pregnancy test instead. I will be calling them tomorrow to request the right test for Thursday or Friday, I may ask for Friday actually, in case I'm right about CD11. I will also ask to see the form first to make sure they don't mess it up this time x x

 

[curiousowl]

So FF agrees with you cupcake! CD18 apparently. I didn't believe it at all and took a progesterone O double check test and it didn't look at all like it would for being 1dpo. So 3dpo I guess! Crazy. Guess that's one way to make the TWW go faster.

 

[happycupcake]

Fabulous, Curious! I have had a couple of cycles like this, super slow increase for a few days then it rockets. Perhaps something you're unaware of altered your temps those days. But whatever the cause, at least you know now you are in the TWW!

 

[ricschick]

Woohoo for the tww curious!!

 

[ladders]

What's a progesterone o test?? Glad your charts clear now it's horrible waiting to get confirmation not sure if you should still bd or it's pointless!
I'm CD 13 today and with being at the seaside last week it's really taken my mind off ttc which has been lovely. Iv not temped this month either which has helped too. The last 4 cycles (not counting the one during mc). I have got a positive opk on CD 17 which will be Thurs so my plan is to get dh to take the mucinex and bd weds Thurs and Fri. I debating not using opks this month but not sure yet I'll prob regret that if I don't but I ran out of cheapies and not sure if delivery will be in time.

These things: they confirm O by testing progesterone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WD4CRLZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZpzTzb88HDFB2

Glad to hear you're feeling more laid back! That's great.

 

[happycupcake]

I have seen these Curious but they don't sell them in the UK.

Ladders, good you're feeling positive

Bummer. They're useful sometimes. That's what helped me figure out my progesterone issue. If anyone ever wants any I'm happy to order and send. They are kind of expensive though. I only use them sparingly.

 

[happycupcake]

Yeah I was so disappointed when I couldn't find them here or order from there. The only thing here are blood tests, or urine and saliva you can do at home but have to send to a lab and it's about £90!
That's super kind of you! If they screw up my bloods this cycle I may take you up on that
I read that urine and saliva are better to test because blood serum levels are usually low? Is this right?

4-5dpo, boobs feel different today for some reason. Usually they hurt at this point, but after using the cream with my previous cycle I didn't have anything to do with boobs at 4-5dpo. Temp increased today

 

[Sander]

Happy to hear so many are in the TWW Am hoping I have also joined you ladies - as I mentioned we're taking a more relaxed approach this month so O date is kind of a guesss, but have had lots of EWCM this week that's finally started to dry up. Bd'd this afternoon just in case but am thinking I o'd late yesterday due to the regular nausea/cramps that come with O each month.

I was curious earlier - are most of you ladies stay at home mom's or do you work? I work as a videographer and today got to shoot a helicopter ride in Vancouver! Haven't done anything like it before, was super cool!

 

[happycupcake]

Sander my eldest would be so jealous of you! I'm studying psychology. Used to work in reptile shops before though

 

[Sander]

Oh yeah cupcake? What is your eldest interested in?

I love psychology!! I use coursera to take online courses for free because I love learning about the human brain My favourite book so far is the Tell-Tale Brain by V.S. Ramachandran. But it's amazing the amount of courses and resources there are out there!
