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

[Ursaula]

I was just thinking maybe I haven't ovulated yet, however then af would have likely started on cd 28 as usual. I have no signs of ovulation any month, no cm, ever, and no cramps. My periods are very light, usually only lasting half a day. I'm thinking I might not be ovulating at all, which is upsetting. However, as I said, I do have half a day of something every 28 days so I'm confused as to why there is nothing this time...fx.

Also, I forgot to add, last night I had terrible nightmares, to the point I stayed up after a while trying to fight them. I'm not sure if it's because of a little bun or if it's from a new sleeping pill I've tried. Probably the sleeping pill. I'm not taking it again tonight so if it happens again I'll make note.

Still counting the days.... after midnight so 6 dpo. I just started cramping again about a half hour ago, it just feels achey and crampy at the same time. My sore boobs have lessened - they are usually sore until AF hits. Is this a bad sign? The only sore spot is on the underneath to the sides. I do the push test. When I push they kind of feel tingly, which is a new feeling. I am driving myself crazy.

What is the push test?

I just lightly push on them with my arms

This is so stressful! I'm gonna feel like an idiot if I've been noticing all these "symptoms" for two weeks and I'm not even pregnant I think my boobs are starting to be tender too and that's not common for me and I'm still just so tired

Yes it is!! Are these symptoms PG or AF?? Im really trying to convince myself its for AF and then i could be pleasantly surprised vs. highly disapppinted

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. I've been extremely busy with family coming in from outta town....

Wanted to UPDATE that I have NO symptoms what so ever and feel extremely sad about that. Maybe I'm out, I was silly enough to take a test just for fun knowing it's be negative, and it was..

I go to a fertility specialist if this cycle turns out to be a bust. I have an appointment with him tomorrow, I'm asking for a blood test, but I'll only be 8dpo. I wonder if it'll be accurate by then?

By 8dpo it could still be early, as I heard average for implantation isn't until like 8/9 dpo.

I obsess over symptoms all the time and every cycle it seems like I have new symptoms that I've never had in the TWW before. Annoyingly last month some of my sure-signs that I'd only ever had during pregnancy before, were cropping up in my TWW last cycle. I do think perhaps I had a chemical as I had a super faint line on 8dpo and my chart went triphasic at the same time, but even so, it's so annoying that I can seemingly get any and all symptoms during the TWW and they are both signs of AF and pregnancy for me!!

Signs I'm getting so far at 7dpo - tender breasts, tender armpit area, blue veins on chest and cramps on both sides were ovaries are (hoping this means ovulating from both sides, but I doubt it, just my secret wish for twins peeping through there!). I also feel absolutely boiling all the time, but like last cycle, that doesn't mean anything. Neither do my other symptoms really. I feel relatively hopeful, but then at the same time, fully expecting period to arrive by next weekend!

I do like how my chart is looking though. Looks like it may be going triphasic again - not that that guarantees pregnancy, it's just slightly more likely if you're pregnant. Fingers crossed!

10DPO here and lots of AF like cramps that started evening of 8DPO. Checked CM a bit ago as.i was feeling a little wet and wanted to make sure AF wasn't here and there was a small touch of EWCM?!?! Whyy now?? Lol

 

[Boo44]

Your chart looks perfect Powell130!

 

[Boo44]

Squirrel can you explain triphasic to me! And also does a positive opk which then goes negative not confirm ovulation?

 

[Ursaula]

I just took a look at your chart squirrel, it is looking promising, but like you said it was kind of like that last TWW? I still think you have hope though!

I would be 9dpo today and I'm planning on testing tomorrow and again this upcoming Friday. I feel a little hopeful because af didn't show, but still doubtful as I'm not even sure I actually O'd.

A triphasic chart is one with three clear levels of temps: pre-O, which ten jumps up to post-O temps and then jumps up again during the TWW to an even higher level of temps. My last chart showed it well. There were three areas of temps that time, but it ended in a BFN. Pregnancy charts are more likely to go triphasic as after baby implants the body produces more progesterone, which is the hormone responsible for raising our temperature (as a side effect) during the luteal phase and during pregnancy. Triphasic charts don't mean you're pregnant, but you are more likely to get one if you are. This snapshot of the end of my last cycle shows it going triphasic for a few days.

Me too!

Fingers crossed for you ursuala!!

Powell I get random EWCM in the TWW too! Usually closer to AF, but I also got it in my pregnant cycle, so hopefully this is a good sign for you!! Fingers crossed!

 

[ksierra44]

What do your DH's think about testing a lot? Mine thinks i should just wait until im really late

 

[Boo44]

Thanks for that squirrel!

Re testing - I can't understand how anyone can wait until they're late. Now I know you can tell as early as 8DPO I start then and test daily!

Thanx lovely!! I was hoping for Higher temp this morning but hubs turned down the AC when he got home last night so it was cooler in the bedroom so I don't think it was 100% accurate. Hoping for nice and high temp tomorrow! Especially after all this cramping
