Morning girls,
Well my Opks arrived yesterday but I didn't do one because I was so fed up with things. My friend came over in the afternoon and we sat in the garden and drank wine instead! My temp did go up a bit but I'm figuring thats from the alcohol (we did end up drinking a fair bit - blame it on the sunshine). Anyway this morning using SMU I got this:.....see piccy at bottom. I know its not positive yet but its close I think. Just hope I haven't missed the surge, anyway tonight when OH is home we are DEFO
(really hoping hes in the mood). Loving the new OPKs (thanks LJ) they're so much easier to read than the other as they have a thicker width.
Honestly looking at your chart, I reckon your temp will rise tomorrow or the day after. I have not had a positive opk this month but I have had HSO cervix and EWCM and following that a temp rise.
Could this opk be the fading away of the LH surge, were your lines before this any darker? The alternative is that your body could be ramping up but didn't OV yet and it may be another 5 or so days away.
This may be TMI, but the difference for me between when I thought I was going to ovulate and when I did ovulate was when my cervix went so high I could no longer reach it!
Hey Lj thanks for checking my chart. As Ive just explained its possible that I missed my surge yesterday but hopefully not. My cervix is still HSO - barely reachable and EWCM this morning. Fingers crossed. I see you did O and FF has amended your chart. Yay!!!
I just did my opk, its the darkest one Ive done yet.. definitely darker than yesterdays 1pm one. Im sooo hoping it is even darker tonight
I cant help shake the feeling though that Im getting my hopes up for nothing... I am like 90% sure I wont ovulate or something :/
Yay so happy your getting those dark OPKs early after everything that happened last cycle. Everything is looking good.
Tizy hope you get your next batch of OPKs soon!
LizzieJane, wouldn't it?
MrsMurphy, why do you think you won't ovulate honey?
I am pretty dang sure that I am in the TWW. But I have been so laid back this cycle that nothing is certain. It is maddening and really peaceful too
Thanks Storked. Its good that you're really chilled, fingers crossed for you.
Is it dumb that I am scared to workout hard in the TWW?
No not at all, I'm carrying on but defo during the early weeks of pregnancy I always slow down a bit.
9 dpo and a
! The doctor is threatening me with a cervical ultrasound. My bloat is apparently worrisome. I figure I have a week left to either get a
or af is coming early. I ain't letting them stick anything up my hooha until the Red Witch sings!
Oh no....its still early tho hun. Do another tomorrow X
Ugh i am so bloaty and crampy i really feel like af is coming anyday but nothing so far Im only on CD 20 so the
would be really early if she showed now..been having random waves of nausea and a little more tired than normal. i still think it would be way to lucky to get my
first month off the pill so trying not to read to much into it
Your nausea could be from the progesterone spike??
ok AF due 8th september
! usually good at holding it out until AF shows, but really think i will cave tomorrow, think i should?
Not long now Nic, hang on in there. I would test but thats just me, I can't bear the wait.
Congrats to all the BFPs so far!
AFM, I have a pap smear tomorrow and a sort of consult about ttc and vbac (first time seeing him). Hoping it goes well and hoping he can give me some answers on why my cycles are so long.
Hey Angel, glad your ok, hope the docs can advise you well, keep us posted.
ok AF due 8th september
! usually good at holding it out until AF shows, but really think i will cave tomorrow, think i should?
Yes def test 2moz then come on here and tell us
What is it with a few of us being bloated, my tummy is really bloated compared to normal but no difference on scales so no reason for it, my allergies are really bad today, i did clean out our guinea pigs that i know im allergic to and i was sweeping up a really dusty part of the garden aswell which may have been a really silly idea, im now snuffly and chesty with sore eyes but im not sure if its general allergies or coz of today, i keep forgetting im in the 2ww, im not holding out any hope for this month
Oh really feel for you with the allergies, I'm the same, its horrid. I also have bad eczema which has been so much worse since having Roscoe. The pregnancy hormones really helped my skin you see, now they've all gone and its bad! Yay for 2WW, hope I'm there soon too.
*reading through this whole thread, catching up on everything i missed*
Welcome back dcm_mw12. I know theres alot to catch up on, its easier if you try to have a read each day! Lol. Where abouts are you in your cycle now?
Hello everyone :wave: I'm currently 3dpo hoping to get my BFP on the 21st *fingers crossed*
Fingers crossed for you too DCM.
Yay, congrats Jadey on confirmed
!
Tizy, so sorry to hear you are going through what I am going through, but I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this!
I too thought O would be a given and was sorely shocked that it's CD19 and still no O.
(I do have faint lines again today on both cheapie and digital, though, along with the super gushy EWCM which usually appears a few days before the most intense O pains when I assume I O, but who knows.) I just saw your board in the regular TTC forum and I'm now hoping that O will eventally come, even if it's super late and our cycles are longer than normal. Thanks for making that board!
Re vaginal temping: With that method you don't have to worry about mouth breathing throwing off the temp (esp. if you only mouth breath some nights like when you are stuffed up, like I do). I'm planning on doing both the rest of this cycle to contrast and compare. What's plotted on my chart is the oral and I noted the vaginal in my notes. The vaginal is .18 deg higher for me today. (I also updated my chart to be consistent using all the temps took upon first waking.)
Re your OPK: I think it probably looks like mine, today, from what I can tell by the pic. Light but there.
:
Thanks hun, I'm ok, it did me good having a day off from testing and worrying I think. Just hope I've not missed my surge now. I might try the vaginal way once this cycle has finished, depending on how my chart looks. I'm interested to see the difference in your results from temping orally and vaginally.
Hoping for those O's soon!
Xxxx
(And thanks for the encouragement! 
I have also not temped the last few days! I wake up like a zombie and just forget! Oops. We BD'd last night anyway, so will probably just do it every 2 days or so and see how we go.
