Hey girls,
Well after my excitement yesterday, I slowly started to become more and more disappointed throughout the day. My 7pm OPk was alot less noticeable than the others I'd did yesterday.
Then when OH came home he was in a funny mood and later after tea and getting Roscoe to bed I tried helping him relax with a massage but he wasn't at all receptive to my advances and said he wasn't in the mood for
Its been such a frustrating time, I've no idea if I've O'd, I'm started to think that I missed seeing a positive day before yesterday (I could have caught the tail end of the surge, even if I did its too late because we didn't DTD) but no temp rise either today. Plus the last time we was Sunday so doubtful that the little swimmers could last that long even if I did O
I feel horrible today, just really confused and starting to wonder how we're gonna move forward with this over the coming months. I just want this horrible cycle to be over now. I'm gonna have to have a proper sit down chat with him about it all. We are serious about having another and i don't want it to drag on for months and months, I'm 35 next month and I would like there to be as little as possible gap between the babies. Maybe I should suggest a plan like SMEP but then i don't know how we tackle the fact that his sex drive seems to be on the lesser side. I know I'm in my sexual prime and he was when he was 18 but still!!!! Its knocked my confidence too if I'm honest
If any charters fancy taking a look at my chart to advise me that'd be helpful, its at the bottom of my sig. I'll pop up the pics of my Opks in a bit too.
Right I'm gonna go off and have a cry now.
They are defo getting a bit lighter.
You reckon I should just stop doing them, or carry on for a few more days?
Thanks for the nice messages. X
I think I am 7DPO, my temps went up (but not as much as I've seen on anyone elses chart) and today they went down really really low. I hope it was just a blip. the killing ovary cramps have gone anyway, which I think is a good sign that I ovulated. just have dull cramps now. trying not to symptom spot because I've been a bit poorly the last few days. I just really hope that the illness didn't make my temp spike and it wasn't another fake ovulation!

Does anybody else just become mostly sad during the TWW? It is such an emotional roller coaster. Ugh.

Morning ladies,
oh han I've re read through the last few pages of posts, it does sound like you ovulated, fingers crossed for temp rise tomorrow. did you get your LH surge on CD19 or CD20, your chart says CD19 and your pics say CD20? If it is CD20 you would probably ovulate today and expect a temp rise tomorrow. I think. also it looks like you had disrupted sleep on your chart so that could be why your temps are low. my temps rose very slowly, not everyones go straight up. FF didn't even confirm it till 5DPO. also we didn't BD a lot around ovulation because it came out of the blue. the egg can survive for 24-48 hours and sperms can swim fast.
quick update before i go to class i woke up 3 times in the middle of the night last night to go pee. and one of those times i couldn't get back to sleep. still having AF like cramps on and off. if im not pregnant i need to figure out why im peeing so such cause its just not normal the amount of trips i make to the bathroom im really fighting the urge to test because i really have no idea when i O'ed.
Tizy - so sorry to see you're feeling this way. I agree, have a good cry and let it all out. And I think it's fair for you to sit down at some point (once you're feeling a bit brighter and not too emotional) with OH and have a proper chat about things. If he does want another LO then he needs to remember that he has a part to play too! I did the same with my DH at the start of this cycle as I felt we'd missed out on proper BD time the month before. He was upset to see how upset I was when AF showed (my 2 SILs announced their pregnancies the same week!) so I just gently pointed out that although I would never force him into BDing there were times when it was going to be on the agenda if he wants to get a
And he really came through this month, we were both poorly with chest infections but he did his duty when called upon!
Sending you lots and lots of hugs
(Won't comment on the OPKs as I've never used them x)
I wonder if im going thru implantation, cramps on and off all day, really quite noticeable and gravitating to my bak and making me feel abit sicky :/ any ideas girls?
I am thinking about testing at 10 dpo. I know I should wait but I am just itching to test!
hi everyone sorry i've been awol! i've been struggling a bit with whats going on with me, so have stepped back for a few days
baby1wanted-thank you! currently have the house to myself AF away to work and wont be home until 4am, so i'm just getting snuggled up with my cats how sad! with a big bag of crisps in my jimjams and a bottle of rose ! hope AF stays away for you!
claire- really hope its ib for you! my fingers are crossed for you!

lol i'm quite good, used to be really bad ! calmed down abit now
I no lie, went through about 15 tests this cycle I won't be so bad this time. 1 pack of opks and a 3 pack of frer. Absolutely no testing until 12 dpo
Anyone testing the 21st?
UGH! I just noticed that I was producing EWCM again and I don't know why. AF is suppose to be here on the 12th so I know I'm not ovulating. I was using opk's and I got a + on the 29th. I've had this happen before and the witch got me a few days later. I am so very not happy right now.

PS: I think SMEP can be a bit tricky to pull off, even if libidos are high (since you never know when someone will get sick or overworked or something), and I'll consider it a bonus if I can pull it off someday. Tonight, my plans to SMEP BD were foiled by a storm coming in and giving DH and I sinus ick so that we felt like we'd been run over by a truck and then backed over - that's just not conducive for for either of us, lol (even though my mood was still good and my lady bits still felt primed from hormones, I was still very tired, and with DH the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak). But doing it every two days in the fertile time is perfectly good coverage, I think, and gives a day of rest and recharge. I'd try that first and see how it goes. My plan is to BD every two from CD8 to 5 days after +OPK (and pull off a proper SMEP if I can as a bonus).

Morning Lj, it seems you were right, my temp went up to 97.74 which is 0.4 more than usual, so i suspect that in my stupidity by not doing any OPks on Wednesday I missed my +Opk and I O'd yesterday. I'm not hopeful of pregnancy at all, as countdowntopregnancy only estimates a 5% chance based on when we BD'd. Thanks for keeping me sane, I just wish I didn't miss the Opks on Wednesday.

Ooooh I think you should test and the increased need to wee is a fab sign hun.

Thanks for the support, yeh I'm gonna find a good time to have a chat with OH. Did you test this morning or hold out???....can't wait to hear.

Sounds like it could be Claire, its the right time going by how many days DPO you are - really hope so X
I am thinking about testing at 10 dpo. I know I should wait but I am just itching to test!
Another tester, fingers crossed for you ND, hoping for good news.
hi everyone sorry i've been awol! i've been struggling a bit with whats going on with me, so have stepped back for a few days
Hey Jellybean, are you ok? Where are you at now?

claire- really hope its ib for you! my fingers are crossed for you!
This sounds lovely Nic, we're waiting for a new mattress to arrive next monday...I so can't wait because ours is currently past it! I can see myself spending much more time in bed once it arrives (;-) but I guess that can only be a good thing)

hows everyone else doing today ?
Hey hun, don't stress about AF coming ..its early yet, hopfully your body is just adjusting to all the changes that are going on.
Does anybody else just become mostly sad during the TWW? It is such an emotional roller coaster. Ugh.
It is Storked, I become mostly REALLY impatient during the TWW. I'm not going to this time tho as I'm sure I won't be pregnant based on this cycle. Unless I start getting mental symptoms of course.
lol i'm quite good, used to be really bad ! calmed down abit now
I no lie, went through about 15 tests this cycle I won't be so bad this time. 1 pack of opks and a 3 pack of frer. Absolutely no testing until 12 dpo
Hey Lisasmith, I shamefully went through 30 Opks this cycle (which looks to be a 34 day cycle, but its becuase I started testing cycle day 6 as I didn't want to miss the O and wasn't sure when it would come as I'd just stopped bc. Typically I missed it anyway!!! Lol.
Anyone testing the 21st?
Yes after my long cycle (I think im in TWW now) Af will be expected on 21st. Partner up together for the TWW? X
UGH! I just noticed that I was producing EWCM again and I don't know why. AF is suppose to be here on the 12th so I know I'm not ovulating. I was using opk's and I got a + on the 29th. I've had this happen before and the witch got me a few days later. I am so very not happy right now.
Hey ND, our bodies do all sorts of strange things becuase of the changes in the hormone levels, don't worry about it. Fingers crossed for that positive test......

Thanks again SmalltownGal. Yeh I had a little look at SMEP and its very full on and I don't think we'd manage it. Just have to keep trying and hoping my fertile days are at the weekend when I can catch my OH in the morning as he is usually 'in the mood' at this time of day.
Hope everything's going ok for you.
Quick update from me:
So looks like I'm now in the TWW, my temp shot up today so likely O'd yesterday. I'm really just super relieved that I have finally O'd. pregnancy isn't going to be likely as we only BD'd once in the time that they say I could get pregnant. I know its still a chance but I'm defo not getting my hopes up. i'll just be pleased to move on to the next cycle. I'll know more tomorrow after looking at my temp again.
Have a lovely weekend guys Xxx
SmallTownGal, I totally want those plushies hehe

storked, smalltowngal - I look at those plushies and all I can see is the shock on my MIL's face!!!!!

Hi Jellybean, how are you feeling now? hope you are ok
Hi blackbeauty27 and claire, sounds like you are both having implantation
cramping and bleeding, very exciting! can I ask what it feels like? I had some pinchy feelings around 6dpo, a temp drop and now cramps that feel like mild AF. although it can't be AF at 8dpo? at least I certainly hope not!
lisasmith, han, I just counted on FF 19 opks and 8 hpts, that is not counting the times I did two or three a day (most days ) and I'm only 8dpo I am trying to be good these last few days and hold out till at least 10dpo!
Han - So glad your temps went back up!! A chance is still a chance for a sticky bean, fingers crossed!
Baby1wanted - really hope the witch stays away and you get your BFP!
