33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

When I see the test line pop up while it's in the pee still I know it will turn positive. I don't know if this is a general thing, or if that's also individual. But yes I always read mine within a few minutes of dipping them.
You can ovulate a few days after a positive, but also on the day of, and in some cases before (although I read that this is more 40 ish upwards generally, but the older we get the closer our surge will be to ovulation), so I reckon start BD now and keep at it until a few days after your positive. Like Curious said

Temp increase today, so I reckon ovulation was yesterday and I'm probably now in the TWW. Will attach a screenshot of my chart in a minute.
Husband has an appointment with the emergency dentist, he's terrified of the dentist and surprised himself earlier by saying he hopes they pull the offending tooth out today. Hopefully it isn't an infection and it's just more of the nerve exposed, although if they can't remove it there today I don't know how they can help if it is that.

He is on his way back from the dentist and it's an abscess. I feel so guilty for BD yesterday now! Having had them myself, I honestly wouldn't have been able to do that so I don't know how he did. This isn't the best Father's Day present for him

Aw, sorry for your DH cupcake. That sounds awful. Chart looks good to me! Yay TWW.

 

[Daisies11]

Definitely still bd even though no ewcm Sander. I was drinking tonnes of grapefruit juice the month I got my bfp, and noticed lots of wet cm but never saw any ewcm.

That's horrible for your husband cupcake. At least he's been and got checked and can get on some meds to try and begin helping. Abscesses sound awful. At least he managed to get on board for bd though!

Hi ladies. Just checking in, sorry I haven't read through the threads. Any new BFP's?

Cupcake I was told my temp rise put me in the tww, so I'm sure you're there now too!

Afm, no symptoms really besides being itchy. The sides of my breasts and hurting and I'm having a little bit of cramping, but i'm putting everything down to the progesterone supplements. I know our timing was good so I'm hoping that if it's a BFP I'll start feeling something out the norm soon. As for now, I'm just taking it day by day, which is surprising as I'm normally taking every little feeling and obsessing over it!

 

[happycupcake]

Aw, sorry for your DH cupcake. That sounds awful. Chart looks good to me! Yay TWW.

Thank you how are you doing?

Daisies, haven't you had an abscess before? They are horrible things! I would rather deal with labour than an abscess.

Sander, you could try a sperm friendly lube like Preseed or Conceive Plus, they are good. I prefer Preseed as it's the only lube that hasn't stung me.

My issue doesn't seem to be conceiving, it's successfully implanting, so I'm eating almonds, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds (bleugh!), probiotic yoghurts, meditating and taking my prenatal multivitamins. Hopefully this will all help

 

[SadakoS]

Does anyone here take baby/low dose aspirin?

 

[curiousowl]

Omg, my cramps are killer right now. CD2 is always the worst here.

I think my plan for this cycle is progesterone cream and, since we'll be traveling cross country right around O and it might be trickier to pinpoint, we'll BD starting CD17 until I confirm. Hopefully we're not too jet lagged but it should be okay.

 

[happycupcake]

Does anyone here take baby/low dose aspirin?

I asked the same question in the TTC forum but didn't get a reply. I know many do, but the information online is confusing about when to take it and how long for. I know those with clotting issues take it and have had success. I have low dose aspirin but haven't take it due to the fact I'm paranoid and worry too much lol

Curious I hope af is easier on you soon

 

[SadakoS]

I take it in the 2ww. I did last time I was ttc too. I don't know if it helped but I feel because I took it then I have to this time

 

[happycupcake]

Did you stop when you saw a positive test?

 

[SadakoS]

I have no idea actually. I'm wondering the same thing myself! I think probably? Since its about increasing/easing blood flow in the area to assist with implant I suppose it's done it's job once you get a bfp?

 

[SadakoS]

Also I took an IC earlier and it was an obvious BFN for me at 7dpo which isn't surprising! Just thought it would be a really good father's day present

I've had a few twinges today and this evening I'm feeling quite dizzy which is odd for me so I'm mentioning it

 

[Daisies11]

Cupcake no, I've never had an abscess thank goodness! I hope I don't have be have that joy, they sound awful.

Re your pumpkin seeds etc, could you maybe try making a granola with the nuts and seeds in that you're wanting to eat with some fruit, honey etc to make it all taste a bit better & then have it with yoghurt? May help you get down it rather than eating something that's tasting awful.

Curious, hope things get better with af soon.

7dpo is mega early sadako. It would have been an amazing Father's Day present though. When will you test again? Every day or will you wait a couple?

 

[SadakoS]

Oh I'm obsessive so I'll be testing every day

 

[happycupcake]

Sorry Sadako, but hopefully you can give a belated Father's Day present

Daisies that's a good idea, I don't know why I didn't think of this! I can't stand them on their own, but I have been eating them anyway.
I sincerely hope you don't have to experience one as well, they are truly horrible things

 

[SadakoS]

Ok help. I put my temp in this morning and it's made my crosshairs go dashed and on my little calendar thing it's stopped counting dpo! Can anyone look at my chart and offer any advice as to why? It's my first month charting and I thought it was all going so well!

ETA I think from googling maybe it's that I put my cm down as watery yesterday?? It was very mixed, some creamy and some that was more wet and so I just picked one! But when I change it to creamy it goes back to a solid line again!

Yeah, dotted lines just mean FF thinks there are some signs that don't match up, like fertile CM at non-O time. You clearly O'd when it thinks. I hate dashed lines so I'd probably leave it as creamy but that's just me. Honestly, I only record fertile CM before O at this point. Early in the charting process I recorded everything though.

 

[happycupcake]

Don't worry about it. When you enter in a sign that the app perceives as a potential fertile sign, it makes the line go dotted to show that it's possible you haven't ovulated and may ovulate soon. Usually, it's just where things vary in your cycle and doesn't mean you haven't ovulated, like my cm will sometimes be more ewcm in my lp for a day or so, sometimes more sometimes less. This causes the app to make the dotted lines but it still keeps count of dpo. I guess if it became clear I hadn't actually ovulated where it first thought I had, then it would change ovulation day. It's done this before as well, when temps have changed more than usual. It isn't always right though, and whilst temps can be incredibly useful in determining when you ovulated, sometimes outside things can influence them to increase or decrease, which of course don't mean you ovulated on a different day

 

[ricschick]

sorry ive been MIA guys had a bust but fun weekend, a few beers in the sun (the only benefit of being mid-cycle) and time at the caravan and the open air pool.

sorry curious that af came!!

I see lots are in the tww!! fx for lots of bfp this month!

cupcake sorry dh has abscess my dh has one at the moment under his belly comes up and down all the time!! bless him its so sore sometimes!! hope dh clears up soon but great sport for getting the job done

I had some light brown spotting yesterday and a little this morning?? we did dtd yesterday morning so wondering if that was anything to do with it? and not sure if there was some ewcm in it it looked abit shiny??

 

[happycupcake]

Rics, sounds like a lovely weekend! Perhaps the spotting is ovulation? Some see spotting at ovulation. I don't, but I have heard many that do.
I Know! I conclude that I must be irresistible or he was just too determined (I suspect the latter though lol).
I'm sorry your OH has too, my husband's is a dental abscess. He's having to have three teeth removed next month!

I don't have anything interesting to add, temp dipped by a tiny fraction today, cp is high soft and medium openness, sticky cm. That's about it
