33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

[ladders]

Ah those names are lovely I really like elodie and if we had a boy he would definitely be Eli as we had that picked with our girls name for first time. Although I have to get up the duff before I can choose names lol.

So I got my positive opk Friday and we bd Thurs fri and last night which I was super happy about but then ff gave me crosshairs for Thurs! Dd sleeping bad at the minute and is had some wine both weds and Thurs night so not sure if affected my temp? But surely I can't have ovulated the dat before a positive opk???? If I post my chart please can you give your opinion?

My chart

 

[Daisies11]

Hi to the new posters!

Kim I also had cramping probably around the 7/8 dpo mark. Not totally sure on dates but I deffo had some cramping there.

I love Elodie, can't get oh on board though. At the mo we seem pretty set on names - Matilda or Max. I like Arthur though but with our accent (we're from Yorkshire) it's easily made to sound not so nice. We'd say it properly I'm sure, but I know kids would be shouting "Arfa" and it's not quite the same!

Sorry I can't help on the chart ladders but glad you got a positive on the opk. And if it turns out ov was Thursday then at least you bd then!

Tww wait for you now, hope it flies by and ends with a bfp!

Ladders, you ovulated where Fertility Friend puts ov, imo. You have a clear temp shift immediately after which has sustained itself

 

[annio84]

I'm not amazing at charts ladders but I'm inclined to agree with cupcake, your timing is still pretty good though. On to the tww

 

[happycupcake]

Also Ladders, your timing is fine, looks as though you got plenty in. You can ov before a positive OPK but this tends to be seen as we get older, ovulation happens closer to the lh surge and sometimes we don't see a positive OPK until right after we ov instead.
Also, as well, drinking can affect temperature but I wouldn't have thought the occasional glass of wine will, unless your glass fits a whole bottle of wine in of course.
Your temps after ov are in line with what the averages are for luteal phase but your temps in your follicular phase are quite high? Did you have a cold or something? Generally during the follicular phase temps should be around 36.4 or lower. I think I remember you testing at the start of your cycle because of this? Is this usual for you?

 

[dustergrl]

Ugh Jessy, sorry about your SO being a jerk. As for boy/girl, I thought ds would be a girl the whole time (we were team green). I was so surprised when he was a boy- but I wanted a boy

Citrus, we don't bd much either. Especially after ds was born- I had zero sex drive until I got my period back around 13 months pp.

towwife, that is strange with your SO's sex drive, but not unheard of. Maybe tmi, but does he masturbate at all, or just has a very low sex drive?

citrus, I don't think I said congrats on the promotion!

Kim, that could be implantation! I knew *exactly* when ds implanted because I got crampy. I wonder if painful implantation has any correlation with sch.

Welcome sander!

Annio, that is how dh and I are with sex drives! I always tell him our cycles don't line up. I'm fully convinced men have hormonal cycles too.

ladders, it is possible to have a pos opk after you o- they say to stop taking them after you get a pos in your cycle. Is it possible that you just o'd late Thursday? Either way- tww!

Hope I got everyone. My mom is in quite a bit of pain from the gas left in her abdomen after the laparoscopy, so I'll be spending some time there again today. My sister and I have been splitting the duty. I wish she would agree to come to my house to get care as I can't stay there all the time.

 

[ladders]

Thanks for input ladies, my temps are a bit all over the place as my dd waking alot in the night and I feel myself get flushed when I hear her cry/move etc and with dh hating the beep I have to just temp when and if can. Just thought it was strange as I did opks Thurs pm and not a positive but was Friday morning. Cervix was still open sat and had watery cm but today is creamy. I'm pretty sure iv ovulated just now not sure when and I'd like to have been sure as I'm counting my lp days.

Ha ha yes worked hard to get plenty bd in and now in 2ww think it's a well deserved rest for a while 🤣🤣

 

[towwife14]

Duster - he doesn't ever masterbate. Just a very low sex drive. Good news is - if my chart is correct my most fertile day should be next Saturday! That's definitely good for me.

 

[ladders]

Oh and forgot to say when I checked my cervix and cm had a small little streak of red, like the head of a pin size of blood streak

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I believe it was Jessy that said it but I'm partial to the name Sadie as that's Dd's name 😊 when I named her Sadie I had never heard of anyone named that. Now I see her name often. Her name is Sadie Michelle and I love it.

 

[JessyG]

Awwww!!! I am so in love with Sadie. I dont want anything crazy out there and i know its a sort of nickname for Sarah but i also dont want her to be the only one in her class with her name. Never met a Sadie before.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Is it really a nickname for Sarah? I never knew that! I was just watching TV one day when I was pregnant with her and heard the name Sadie and loved it. So I kept trying to think of a middle name that sounded good with it and my mom suggested Michelle. After saying it together a few times I fell in love with it and that's how I decided on her name. Dh didn't really care which name I chose for her but it literally took the whole pregnancy both times for us to decide on a name for both our son's lol even after I delivered ds2 we still were unsure. The lady came in to do the birth certificate and asked his name. Dh was at the cafeteria getting something to eat so I had to ask her to come back in a few minutes because I couldn't decide on the 2 names we picked for him lol

 

[SadakoS]

Sadie is definitely going to be involved if we have another girl athat some point. My daughter is Abigail May, the May being for OH grandma. My granny was called Sadie so we agreed it would be next middle name but I like it for first!

The only boys name we liked last time was Logan, with Joseph for a middle name. I actually really like Thorfin, but don't know if it's too out there...

 

[SadakoS]

Is it really a nickname for Sarah? I never knew that!

Yes, my granny's name was actually Sarah but she was known to all as Sadie! I think it's a Scottish thing maybe, as she was as Glaswegian as they come!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thorfin is actually a cute name. In our family we like different names for our girls. It goes like this :
Sadie Michelle
Blaikney Leanne
Tully Cassara
Lola Elaine
Willow Lorraine

And if I have another girl I plan to name her Keira. I don't have a middle name yet

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

That's actually very cool to me. I'm definitely going to tell Sadie that her name is a nickname for Sarah! She's going to love that because her best friends name is Sarah!

 

[JessyG]

I am really falling in love with Sadie. Its considered a derivative of Sarah Kim. Sarah is nice enough but Sadie has an edge imo. Not over used cute and ages well. It doesnt really have any nicknames though and i love nicknames. Sade or dee i suppose. My daughter is Bella, do you think it goes well?

Bella and Sadie
Bella and Elodie
Bella and Alice?

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Honestly I like all three of your name choices lol I think they all go well with Bella. I called Sadie lady bug or Sadie bug when she was little. Now that she's almost 15 I cut it short and call her Lady. Or little lady Sadie. Literally whatever comes out of my mouth at the time lol and if I ever call her Michelle, she knows she's in trouble lol

Was Thursday's OPK close to positive and what time did you use it?
It's possible you ovulated the following day when you had the positive - I didn't see this before, I thought the positive was Thursday. In this case I would say Fertility Friend has it wrong, you probably ovulated Friday or possibly Saturday, but probably Friday. I think given your temps, I would say Friday alongside the positive OPK that day as well.

As for names, I would like to choose something as out there as I can get away with without making future child look silly but my husband is more reserved...
