Thanks hun. Thing is my thermometer won't be here until today and today is cd1. When should I take my temp? I am totally new to charting/temping. I have the FF app and that has helped.

I am still an October tester though! By the skin of my teeth could you put me down for October 31st? Thank you!

HI hun, take it first thing in the am, when you normally wake. before you do anything else. you should have a solid three hours sleep for a true temp. start temping when you get your thermometer and leave it next to your bed, so when you wake, you can grab it and test. I test at 5 am- because that's when dh wakes me up when he leaves. my normal getting up for the day time is sporadic whenever dd wants to get up! so i use dh's waking time for my temp time. roll over, and go right back to sleep! sorry af came hun

I tested today and BFN, which means I'm out so I am just waiting on AF now. That is sort of okay as I have suddenly developed Bell's palsy (paralysis of the left side of my face) and so I have to take steroids and anti viral medication.
Onto next month.

omg my friend's husband had that! he is fine and has never had it develop again but sounds pretty scary! so glad it's treatable, thinking of you hun and keep us posted.


afm took another test to be safe, cause i only half believed yesterday, and here it is at 13dpo and temp went up too. so feeling better today about it. i'm still excited and wanting to share my tests with you- but, i won't if it upsets anyone. i don't want anyone thinking i'm rubbing it in their face, i promise, i'm not, i'm just so excited and wanting to share with you ladies

mommy - I love seeing that beautiful line!! gives me hope for all of us I forget now, but did you do anything different this month?? I also was wondering how you BDed around O. I keep going back and forth between tons of BDing or every other day for good quality swimmers..... let us know!

this month my O was pretty late (actually same with dd) and my opks went light before going dark again. the one day i thought was positive, so we dtd that night. then the next day it came up before the control, so i dtd again. The next day we did again and i think we took off the following day.

dtd cd 17, 19, 21, 22, 23. I o'd on 22 it says according to my chart. that was the day of the positive opk.

This time, i used soft cups. the first two times. put it in right after dtd and left them in. first time i used them trying for this bean. I used them when trying for dd too- and got it the second cycle using them and the first with opks. i firmly believe the two together are the reason for my bfps.

i'm still updating my chart daily for a bit anyway with temps :

My Ovulation Chart


with dd, my timing was pretty similar. and i o'd around the same day too. i think it was cd 21.

hello ladies

CD 5 here feeling like I might O early this month if my temps are any indication. I wish I would have started temping earlier, especially the month I got pregnant and before the ectopic and all the complications. I wonder if it really is just taking my body time to get back on track. I always thought if my periods were still coming completely normally, then I must be fine. But I've seen the pattern in my pre-O temps improve. They have gradually been getting lower each month, and going down sooner. It used to take them forever to drop back down once AF started. So that is what makes me think I might O early. Hopefully not too early with my trip coming up!

Dr appt with OB on Thursday to get hormone panel bloodwork done. Then hopping my plane to Vegas to lay by the pool and get pampered at the spa, so I won't be thinking about it too much

to all !

I feel extremely sick today. I don't have a fever or anything else but I'm nauseous, dizzy and with a crippling migraine and I feel run down and like I was run over by a truck. Since I have some mild cramping/twinges and extremely tender breasts, I'm thinking that I'm just having a rough few days after O as this O was extremely strong compared to past cycles in terms of O pains and such. Let's hope it's a good sign, can't wait to reach 8DPO on Sun so I can start feeding my POAS addiction

I've been on the same threads as you for awhile and you've been so supportive to everyone. You are so deserving of this bfp and we are so happy for you. I don't think af is coming for you, that's a beautiful line! Congrats again!!! .

You said you used softcups this cycle, I'm definitely ordering them!

Hope everyone is doing fantastic today! CD7 here and my temps have been crazy! I had a very heavy period but it was 2 days shorter than usual, so maybe I'll ovulate sooner? I have no idea. I've been distracting myself this cycle cause I don't want to stress like I did before.

Congrats on the BFP mommy!

June, I meant to answer you but forgot! I live in Orlando but I'm a huge huge fan of Jacksonville! I love this city!

 

[mrs.green2015]

Hello ladies! I signed up a long time ago to test today and have been here on and off but got really fed up with Ttc and have been missing for awhile. Side today is my testing day I thought I would update with a pic of my test this morning.

Congratulations!!!!!! Loving all these BFP's!!!!! Keeps me hopeful

 

[Trr]

I'm 10dpo now. BFN on my test this morning but I had another promising sign. Found some pink on my tissue this morning and I have never spotted outside my cycle. And af isn't due until sat/sun.

I was feeling very discouraged yesterday but this has given me hope again.

Hoping to catch the BFP fever coming from this post

What DPO are you and what symptoms are you having?

For those not yet reached ovulation, what are your symptoms for approaching ov?

I'm currently 5/6 DPO having light pressure feeling along with some mild cramps in lower abdomen/pelvic area, frequent urination, fatigue, not sleeping well, moody and have cried more easily at some things i normally wouldn't have.

I'm CD 6 and have longer cycles, so O is probably a ways off. But I've been feeling slightly emotional, gassy, slightly dizzy. AF should be done after today because I only have a tiny bit of spotting left. Wondering if these symptoms are from AF and not pre-O. Been feeling a bit sad about my ttc journey so far, and my BFF (who got pregnant with a sticky bean her first try, by the way) has her shower this Saturday and I can't bring myself to go to Babies R Us to get her gift. I love my BFF and she's been so sweet throughout everything I've been through, but it does feel a bit unfair. So that's where my head is at right now.

Hoping your symptoms lead to a bfp! I've been tricked many times with tww symptoms so I can't rely on any of my body's signals, lol.

 

[JLM73]

Trr Thats a good sign!!

MrsG You know I already cheered but STILL so so happy you got a surprise bfp!

Mommyx Please share! We love staring at pink lines!! We know how hard you have tried, and you have supported everyone!

Campn Glad your AF is past FX you do O a bit earlier!!

I autopeed like a fool, and totally wasted my fmu.
At least my temp bumped up a notch, and i woke up cramy- hopeful the bean digging deep...I'll update when I test in a cpl hours

oooooh I'm on the edge of my seat for you! this could be it!!!

 

[junemomma09]

I took an equate brand test which was bfn until i went back to look at it just now and it has either a faint bfp or nasty evap. Only problem is when i try to upload the photo it says my photo is too large. I don't know how to post it so you ladies can tell me what you think?

 

[fairycat]

Still waiting to O. These next couple of weeks can't go fast enough! Dtd last night, wish my egg would hurry up! lol I usually O around cd12, but with the D&C in August, I don't know if I will be on a new schedule or what. I've broken out like normal, and starting to feel some pains in my left side (last month egg came out of right side, so I'm assuming left this month). My libido always gets high once my fertile period starts, that's my telltale sign to get busy

Congrats on the BFPs!! Hoping to see more!
