Anyone ovulating around 5th of July and want to wait the TWW together?

[Boo44]

Which is so random as I've had a 23 day cycle and I'm always regular. Sigh

for me as well. Man, what a lame Friday this has been for all of us! See you in the August thread, ladies! :wave:

Went ahead tested this morning as expected BFN. I don't feel like AF is coming at all. I think it might be best to wait until Sunday. Good luck to all. Happy Friday.

Sorry to hear that the witch has gotten so many! Prayers to all in the next round! I'm still waiting for something to happen. Whether af or bfp. Debating between going to the doctors or not to seek help.

So the past few hours I have been almost choking, like I couldn't seem to swallow what seemed like saliva. About a half hour ago I started to "choke" up stomach bile. (Note: I do have acid reflux, however I take medication for it as it gets unbearable.) However, this is not like acid reflux. It doesn't burn, I don't have heart burn, it just seems to be saliva/bile. Is this a sign of pregnancy? The last I tested was on Wednesday morning (12dpo) and it was BFN so I just assumed I was out and hadn't ovulated, should I test again?

 

[Plsteph]

I don't know. We are TTC #1. So I am not knowledgable in regards to pregnancy symptoms. I sure hope it is one for you. Today, I took a bit of pizza and it was so awful. DH said it is fine. I think he is the crazy one not me.

Another BFN this morning with an FRER and now period like crampibg has hit me. I'm out

 

[golden_gal]

Sorry to all who the witch got! I tested today, bfn in a frer. I don't know what to think. I thought it was my period that came last week which I estimated at 6 dpo but with all the pain and pinchy boobs and groin I thought maybe IB. Maybe it's just my hormones?? I'll wait until Sunday and do another frer.

@Ursula not sure, with my first, I would throw up bile every day first tri bc I couldn't eat, but not eating made the nausea worse.

Hey Ursula, I'm not sure about the saliva and choking thing but I would recommend going to a fertility specialist, not just a general physician, and get hormone tests done to see if you are indeed ovulating. After your results, you and your doctor can talk about the next step. It can save you a lot of time and heartache! How long have you been trying?

 

[Ursaula]

Thanks for the thoughts gals

I agree BrendaJ, I don't actually think I'm ovulating, like squirrel had suggested. A previous doctor of mine had brought up the chance of PCOs but never was confirmed or talked about after that. My ovaries were checked (they thought my kidneys were failing but all was cleared) and my ovaries appeared normal. I'm planning on getting hold of a fertility specialist or at least start doing the steps to get one on Monday. We've been trying since end of March. I thought it was just the pill still getting out of my system up until then.

I think I'm out too, 13 dpo, bfn, and af cramps Good luck ladies! See ya next month

Well, it hasn't been too long since you started trying, but if you go to the doctor, at least you'll know if you are ovulating or not. It'll get you to your goal much faster instead of it being a guessing game. I would recommend you start charting on Fertiliry Friend and go to Walmart/Target and get a BBT Thermometer. Start charting so you can see what's going on with your cycles.

I wish you the very best of luck in your TTC Journey! I hope you get your bundle of joy soon!

What is a bbt thermometer? A normal oral thermometer doesn't work?

Hi Ksierra, no, a regular thermometer isn't the same and will not be accurate. A BBT thermometer is more sensitive to subtle body heat changes. I bought mine at Walmart for like $3. That's is all you need to begin charting at Fertility Friend. It is free! I recommend researching on BBT Charting, but Fertility Friend will do most of the work for you, all you gotta do is input your daily temps (it has to be the same time before you get up and move around) and watch Fertility Friend connect the dots! GL!

Thanks BrendaJ, I hope you get your BFP soon as well! I started charting on FF on June 8 and have yet to get my period...after b/c I've been getting half day periods every 28 days and still haven't gotten one yet since then. I had a hard conversation with my s/o and it looks like I'll be WTT now for him to figure things out. I plan on seeking help during this time just to see what is up with my cycle so I know better for when we begin TTC again.

Lots of baby dust to you all, and I hope you all get your BFPs soon!

Btw I chart with a thermometer I already had and it worked fine last month. I had two thermometers at home, one was very flaky. It was obvious because I would test literally a minute apart and there would be a 0.4 F diff. The other thermometer is consistent so I use that one. But if you can get a BBT thermometer for $3, that's good too.
