33yr ttc#2 - buddies needed!!!

citrus good luck and don't worry about ewcm too much I hardly get any!

ladders something is catching my eye when I look on my phone!!

happy they are very convincing lines!!

kim congrats!!! got to love a digi!!!

I tested again this morning with an opk and it was still positive so do I still class today as 1dpo and stop testing or do I continue to test and wait til it turns neg. I stopped testing with my last pregnancy so not sure if that is normal for me or not?!
 
Thank you ladies! I'm so happy. I'm super emotional and crying at the smallest things lol I actually got tears in my eyes because Ladders and Happycupcake didn't have a positive test... Gotta love the extra hormones lol I woke up nauseous when I got up with dh for work. It's been about an hour so it's pretty much gone now. Is this too early for ms? I'm 3w6d today and 12dpo.

Citrus, if you remember, I did the same thing with this cycle! All my pre O signs disappeared after the day I thought I O'd but all came back except the hypersensitive sex drive. I never did get that back but I knew I didn't O till I finally woke up with sore nipples a week later and knew that was O day. I'm sorry you're having a weirdish cycle and hope you have O'd on cd18 and don't have to wait till cd31 like I did! Good luck you're doing great on the bd sessions so you're covered either way.

Ladders, I'm sorry I didn't see anything yet and also sorry that you feel bad about it. It's still super early and remember I didn't get a positive till 9dpo.

Happycupcake, I'm sorry yours wasn't a true positive either. 😞 you're only 5dpo though and like I said to ladders I didn't get a positive till 9dpo and in the evening at that.

I'm sorry if I've missed anyone. I just can't remember what all I read lol I'm sure I'll make another post if I remember or see it again
 
Oh Rics, the cycle before this one I had 2 days of positive so I counted the day after the second positive as O day. I usually have a 18 day lp but that cycle it was a 16 day lp so I guess I could have counted the first day of the positive as 1dpo and my lp would have been normal. I'm sorry that doesn't help at all but I just thought about it when you mentioned it lol did you have any other O signs? Any cramps? Wake up to sore boobs or nipples? (sorry we don't really have tmi in here haha) oh and I just realised that I would probably never ask another woman if her boob's or nipples are sore irl lol! Unless maybe it is my sister then I'd be asking all kinds of weird stuff (sorry totally off topic. I'll shut up now lol)
 
Citrus I hope you didn't feel I was criticising you, I think it sounded like I was but I'm rubbish at sounding how I sound in my mind, and I too frequently sound blunt in my posts! I think it's common for people to leave temping until later on, but the app does a better job when you temp throughout. Also, if there were any issues with your follicular phase, you would have a better idea of this if temping consistently from CD1 onwards. I can see your logic, as you want to know when you ovulate so the other times seem irrelevant, but the app doesn't see this and prefers whole cycles to go by.
If you don't have any hormonal issues then it's likely it doesn't matter as much, but it may take the app longer to detect ovulation, possibly, because it wants the lower follicular phase temperatures to compare to luteal phase temps, if this makes sense?

Kim lol bless your heart. I know what you mean though, I was always super emotional (and also a right bitch at times) during pregnancy! It plays games with your emotions. I even cried at stupid TV shows, I can't remember what, but definitely wasn't something I would usually do.
I think you can get morning sickness at any point. I was lucky with the boys and avoided it mostly but with our daughter it hit me about a week after we discovered we were expecting her I think. I don't know precisely where I was since I hadn't had a period since having given birth twelve weeks previous to that, but I saw a CB digi 3+ immediately with her.

Those are convincing lines, if I hadn't seen them in literally every single cycle so far! When I first saw them I believed they were real, but after it happened a few cycles I came to the conclusion they meant zilch! And then I saw many others seeing the same lines too, which also didn't mean anything. It's quite frustrating.

Oh, and Rics, I agree with Kim on this. I have had a couple of days with positive OPKs and always count the most recent positive as the 'true' positive as it seems more logical. Although, it's completely possible to ovulate on that day too, I usually ovulate the day of the positive or the day after (which is why I changed my chart).

Kim, you do crack me up lol I feel like doing a survey in town of all the women, do you get sore boobs and nipples when you ovulate...? I think I may hand out a questionnaire along with the flyers lol
 
I don't think you were criticizing citrus about the temps... You weren't talking to me but thought I'd share my 2 cents lol

Hahaha that would be hilarious. I would answer! Hell I'll probably stand there and talk about all things "gross or inappropriate " about ttc lol but not everyone is happy to talk about it haha

I was actually in Walmart yesterday buying more first signal tests and the lady at the pharmacy said she and her wife are ttc. I asked a few questions but Mannn I wanted to ask about sore nipples after O and ewcm and all that stuff but she seemed a little uncomfortable so I just changed the subject and left lol I didn't even ask the questions I wanted to haha
 
Lol! I know I'm the same! I think inappropriate may be lost on us both ;)
 
Cupcake I allllways think that I have offended people but honestly it didn't even register so I think we probably think it too much. I used to temp everyday but since I know my cycle more I just can't be bothered!
 
citrus, that was midnight between 8dpo and 9dpo. As for your cycle, I am not the one to ask lol! I think I O later in my cycle than 24 hours after surge. When we conceived DS it had to have been around CD 17 or 18.

rics, that could be normal- things can change pp.

Yay Jessy and Kim! So happy for you!

Good luck curious and rics!

ladders, you and me both. I tested this morning and bfn. I'm 10dpo today and slightly discouraged. Probably won't test again unless af doesn't show.

Sorry if I missed anyone. This has been moving so fast!
 
Duster, I'm sorry you didn't see anything yet. Don't get discouraged though because you're still super early. You have time! Fx you get your bfp!
 
On and off old blood spotting/tinted cm, only when I wipe. This is SO similar to what happened with ds. So we'll see. I'm like two days away from af being due but this isn't how I usually start.
 
Ohhh that's exciting it's the same as your Lo! I'm keeping everything crossed for you!!
 
Yey for the digi Kim!

Sorry on the bfn ladders but like others have said, it's still mega early, lots of time yet.

And again, sorry bfn so far duster but the signs seem promising, hoping it turns bfp for you!
 
Rubbish you had a bfn too duster, your spotting sounds super promising though so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Do you think you'll test again soon?

Thanks ladies I'm hoping is just too early, it's just I feel different like yesterday I couldn't handle the shower as it was making my nips feel funny and I keep having things make me gag like earlier dd banana was over ripe and it made me retch. Maybe just overthinking things, my temp did go up agaib today so hoping it stays that high!

You chart looks really good ladders. Fingers crossed for another high temp tomorrow. Will you keep testing every day now?
 
Yes unfortunately citrus i think I will lol! I'd love to wait till I was a few days over af but just don't have the willpower! When do you think you'll wait until?
 
Really not sure ladders, will wait and see if o is confirmed first. Probably around 9dpo but it depends how it falls. I like to test on a day where I have the day to myself rather than a day before work when it is a rush.

Will check in on you tomorrow. Good luck.
 
Hey guys,

So I had a question and wanted to see if any of you guys had an answer - a lot of people report having sore bb's super early on (1-6DPO), but if you haven't implanted yet then what's causing that? Is it just progesterone? I guess I'm wondering because it's such a common opinion that it's impossible to have pregnancy symptoms until you've implanted and actually produce HCG, but does your body really not change at all until that point? I guess I just figured that something would have to change chemically if an egg was fertilized successfully.

Any ideas?
 
Ladders, your chart looks good! Hopefully you have a positive test soon :)

Sander, progesterone can and does for some women cause symptoms which can be mistaken for pregnancy. Coming off birth control can do the same too. I think when an egg is fertilised it starts producing tiny amounts of hCG but this isn't detectable until after implantation and even then it takes time for your kidneys to filter it out into your urine for a pregnancy test to show positive. Blood tests will always show positive before a urine test.
So, unless implantation has taken place, it's the progesterone causing symptoms. This doesn't mean though, that implantation won't happen at some point a few days later. But this is why women say they feel symptoms so much earlier than they should do, because of the usual lp side effects. Some women don't see any, some do, and some won't but then later on will do, this is the case for me as I didn't used to see anything in my lp until fairly recently
