33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[happycupcake]

Thank you Kim, and Sadako!

Sadako, I haven't but I have heard many who have. What concerns you about using it?

 

[curiousowl]

Cupcake, I hope a change from normal LP is a good sign for you!

Sander, your chart doesn't show O yet so I would keep taking OPKs and see what happens. You can generally expect a positive 11-48 hours before O.

 

[ricschick]

Cupcake I can see a clear line!! I'm hoping this is it for you!!!

I'm wondering if I've missed my lh surge on an opk??!! Yesterday's test was quite strong but with very diluted pee, but this afternoons test was lighter with strong pee?? Plus I have pink spotting but we did dtd this morning so bit sure if it's due to that or possibly ov spotting. I'm worried my body is all screwed up from my mmc. 🤔😩

 

[happycupcake]

Sounds like you may have missed the surge if your OPK was strong with diluted pee. Do you have a photo of it?

Hi ladies.
Cupcake, I definitely see something on the tests you posted...im hoping it get a darker!

I'm currently 10dpo and negatives on dollar tree tests yesterday and this morning. I took one last night, checked within the time limit and nothing, checked this morning and a super almost not there line so I'm counting is as an evap.
Atm, just nauseous and cramps here and there. Not feeling as confident but I know I still have time to get my bfp!

 

[happycupcake]

Still plenty of time, Meek. Many don't see anything until a few more days

 

[melewen]

Meek can you see anything in a photo?

sadako why are you thinking about soy iso? I read that if you O consistently you don't need it but I didn't look too much into it

Cupcake I can't wait to see what happens! I can see a line in the inverted photo you posted yesterday

AFM 10dpo today and stark white BFN this am. Oh well! At least my temp is high, normally it'd have already dipped. At least that was my pattern before giving birth. Last month was the first month I temped since then and I used too much progesterone cream so AF came early and my temps were higher at the start of AF. So it might just be my new pattern, who knows! It's nice that my hormones seem a little more stable I guess since my temps aren't as rocky as normal? But considering we only dtd once 3 days before O this month I shouldn't expect a BFP anyway next month going to try two days before O. That's what we should have done anyway but I was convinced I might O early since I messed my LP up last month! And I swear next month I'm only temping to confirm O and then I'm putting away the thermometer! And I'm going to make my mom hold all my tests I'm type A(+) so TTCing totally consumes me. I've really let my business slide a bit. But I bet you next month I'll actually be here testing 5x a day and analyzing my temps, lol. At least I'll hope for a more relaxed cycle!

this one was with diluted wee

this one with strong wee. Thought it would be darker by now.

 

[meek0104]

Mel this is pic I took this morning...i can't really capture it any better on my phone

 

[SadakoS]

Because my cycles can be up to 50 days long and I read it could help bring O forward. That's why I'm nervous though because I don't want to risk making my cycles worse.

 

[curiousowl]

Are you temping Rics?

 

[curiousowl]

This is like the period that will never end! I'm still spotting today and I never have 2 days of spotting at the end.

 

[melewen]

Sadako that's exactly the scenario I heard you should use them for. So I say go for it! It's supposed to be like clomid and help you O

 

[ricschick]

Are you temping Rics?

No I'm not normally I just rely on the opks.

Meek I see a line in your test! X

 

[curiousowl]

Are you temping Rics?

No I'm not normally I just rely on the opks.

Meek I see a line in your test! X

Gotcha!

 

[happycupcake]

Meek I'm questioning that test. I think you should try another

Rics, looking at those, there isn't a huge difference so I think it's possible this is the lead up to your surge instead? Have you done any more since?

Curious, I don't like af, especially when it decides to linger. Hopefully it will leave soon!

Um, I guess I should post what I peed on earlier today. I won't bombard you with photos, I will start a thread I think, but will post a photo I think is clearest. Sorry I don't know if that made any sense, I'm so tired I went to bed late.
One is tweaked. I don't know why the other IC (different brand) didn't show, but the other I think is pretty clear! 7dpo today, will look at it dried to make sure it's genuine and doesn't disappear like they have done before.

I have to add - it's usual for me to see an upset stomach during my lp, usually during the first week of it and I usually have one or two panic attacks, but I have so far had panic attacks every single day for the previous four days. This is unusual for me. Especially since having acupuncture again. I don't know if that's a sign because I know with my previous pregnancies they always triggered anxiety severely especially early on

 

[SadakoS]

There's definitely a line there, no denying it! Just have to hope it's genuine!! What about trying with a FRER or something tomorrow xx

 

[happycupcake]

I may try a FRER tomorrow with fmu as I already have a double pack

 

[ricschick]

Cupcake can definitely see that!! Getting excited for you!!!
Yeah I have taken another opk and it's pretty much the same so will just keep testing. I've felt a bit crampy but normally I feel very tender in that area which I haven't yet so hopefully it will be soon!!
How you feeling any symptoms? Xx

 

[happycupcake]

Ah then I reckon you will ovulate soon then! I know what you mean about feeling tender there, I sometimes have that too. And sometimes the cramps are so severe I have actually likened them to early labour! Any fertile cm? Asking "how's your cervix" sounds hilariously creepy for some reason lol

I keep having panic attacks. I usually see a couple but this is every day which isn't typical for my anymore.
I looked at the test and it's still there dry, whereas the others disappear so I'm leaning towards genuine. I did another with smu but I drank latte so my pee was quite diluted in comparison to my fmu, there is something super faint but it's hard to photograph.
Top is fmu dried
