cd17 lines getting darker..increased cm..will do a digital one in afternoon



nope negative :S

 

[iow_bird]

Damn it! Hope you get your positives soon. Have you tried a more sensitive test? I used the most sensitive cheapies from amazon and they worked really well.
I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, not managed to bd since Saturday though hubby has developed a depressing case of performance anxiety. I have no idea what to do or how to help him. Had a massive chat last night, and he definitely wants another baby, I'm not telling him when I ovulate next month to see if it helps. He told me he wants another one as much as I do, but without the hormones bless him. He's such an awesome man and it makes me feel awful that ttc is doing this to him

Ive been using wondfos, they have worked perfectly for me the past two months. I don't know. It is confusing me.
Oh, my dh gets the same way. If i tell him, he cant perform. If i dont tell him, i usually get told he is to tired or something equally as stupid, then i have to cave and tell him or it wont happen. I used to be against watching porn, now i sometime put it on just to get us through the time when neither of us really feel like it lol.. nothing else has done it so far.

 

[iow_bird]

Sorry you have the same problems, but it makes me feel better that we're not the only ones!

 

[iow_bird]

I told him last night was our last chance this cycle, but cervix is still in the right place, so might be worth a "no pressure" bd tonight. Think I might have to rethink the opk thing at the moment. It's driving me nuts not knowing when I ovulate, it's been ok and stopped me getting stressed, but now were on to cycle 13 I kind of think maybe we need to know when it's happening!

 

[Mississippi03]

Lol no worries. Its a normal thing. Ive chatted to other women on here and they have the same issue.
It would be nice if opks solved the problem hah but look at me this month, havent helped me one bit. Im only on cycle five, but im already crazy lol

 

[Mississippi03]

Please help, im super confused. My chart is in my signature.
Oddly, ff gave me crosshairs today.mi was shocked.

But there was one temp I didnt know what to do with. Cd15 i woke up at 120 then 230 then 510 (i took my temp here and it was 96.6) so thats what I logged. Which gave me crosshairs on cd15. But the thing is, I went back to sleep andwoke up at 730, temped again and it was 97.5 .... If I use that temperature it chnges my O date to cd13. What would you do? I didnt even think I had O. Never a cramp or positive opk.

 

[iow_bird]

I don't temp sorry, but I would go with cd 15, cos then your going on the side of caution with the number of dpo you are and won't be tempted to start resting early!

 

[Mississippi03]

How have you been doing?

 

[iow_bird]

4dpo, tonnes of creamy cm. nothing exciting at all! How about you?

 

[uzmaqazi]

cd21 got+ve smiley yesterday...i think i will O today

 

[ChocLover]

I Think I'm 5 DPO. Zero symptoms. Don't feel pregnant. Looking forward to a glass of wine when AF comes.

 

[iow_bird]

Yay for smiley!!!

 

[iow_bird]

At 5dpo I wouldn't expect any symptoms! Baby wouldn't even have implanted yet x x x

 

[uzmaqazi]

we bd 1 day pre-Ovulation ..couldnt do yesterday night as hubby got sore throat etc..hmm dont know if that would be enough..

 

[Mississippi03]

4dpo, tonnes of creamy cm. nothing exciting at all! How about you?

Still confused about dpo.. But doing well. Still about another week o wait out

 

[ChocLover]

Do you guys think dpo symptoms might just be crap?

It seems that, at most, only 20% of women even get those symptoms (so over 80% don't!) and as we all know - if you are on the look for symptoms then you can spot them all over the place or see them when they aren't even there. So maybe the 20% of women who had "symptoms" .. maybe they weren't even real symptoms.

Maybe there are no symptoms until several weeks into pregnancy except for the psychosomatic ones that people attribute to pregnancy?

 

[iow_bird]

Seeing as I start vomiting from about 10dpo, and don't stop until bubba is born, I kind of assume all symptoms aren't psychosomatic!
Things like implantation bleeding, cramping, backache, nausea etc can start quite early. I don't think you can get symptoms before implantation, so anything before about 8dpo is probably just normal pmt symptoms taken out of context, or miscalculated ovulation.
I've given up symptom spotting, every month, my damn body throws something new at me, and it doesn't mean anything, and hasn't for 13 months!
