Anyone who is ttc having trouble with their cycles due to previous bc use?

[Lovetoteach86]

Im 99.9% sure I have ovulated. Either thurs or yesterday. My temp rose to 97.8 today! Very much like my post-o temps last cycle! It's a relief however I'm hoping we bd'd in time (tues and yest). I guess I truly have a tww ahead of me finally?! I'll keep you posted certainly. Hope you ladies are doing well today.

Yay, that temp is defintely higher then your other temps

 

[ImSoTired]

Yeah my post-o temps were 97.7, 97.9 last cycle so I'm right there with them and I'm pretty confident this time. It's a relief to know my body may have done something right! It may not have been on cd14 like a normal woman, but it wasn't cd58 like last cycle either. Hoping in 2 weeks I will have an even better reason to be happy.

 

[Bean66]

so pleased you've O'd!! Fingers crossed for you hun.

I had very watery cm today so did an OPK. It was nearly positive. I think it's gonna be a false start as it's early but bd'd anyway.

It's happened before. Only time will tell.

 

[Rachel789]

Imsotired-thats a very nice temp rise, looking really good!

Bean-I hope that is a good sign and you are on track to O even earlier this cycle.

Lovetoteach-I see your temp went up again, to me it looks like you definitely O'ed

CD21 here and I have zero signs that O day is in the near future. My cm is minimal and the cm I noticed yesterday was kinda sticky in consistency, I would feel a little more hopeful if I at least had creamy cm. So based on this I would say I won't be O'ing for at least 5 days. Blahhhhhh I hate this waiting, come on body do what you are supposed to!

I had the EWCM for a couple days last week but not even close to a pos opk so I do not know what my body was up to...

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Bean- Horray for a possible early O day. A little extra BDing here and there never hurts either

Rachel- If you do O in 5 days that will be your CD26, which is the same cycle day I O'd. Hope you don't have to wait that long, but you still haven't past me if that makes you feel any better at all.

 

[ImSoTired]

Rachel I'm sure your o is coming. All that ewcm was probably your body trying and failing as mine did. You will try again soon with pos opks and all and you will succeed. You know I know how it feels. Hope it comes for you soon!

 

[ImSoTired]

Bean, hope you o nice and early. Bd for good measure!

Lovetoteach how is your tww going? Are you symptom spotting or keeping it off of your mind?

 

[Lovetoteach86]

Trying not to symptom spot, but I am tired and the right side from lower stomach down has been having strange feelings for days. I have been trying to ignore it. I don't want to convince myself this is it, and then just be frustrated when I get a bfn. I hope I can wait until at least 14dpo to test, but we shall see. Told DH I would wait until the 28th/29th to test (which would be 15-16dpo). He knows I have some cheapy tests, but he doesn't know I have 9 of them, so he won't know if I take one a few days before then! Trying to stay strong and not test too early.

 

[ImSoTired]

I bet it is a real challenge. You seem to have a level head on your shoulders though. I hope this is your bfp. to all of us!

 

[ImSoTired]

Hi girls. FF finally located my ov! I'm a bit worried about what day it picked because I didn't bd that day or the day before. I can only hope that those little swimmers lived long enough in there to catch the egg. I guess I should be happy enough that I ov'd. Keep your fx'd for me girls. How are you today?

 

[Rachel789]

Yayyy for crosshairs!

I read somewhere that BDing two days before is actually the best chance, so you should be good to go!

I am having the same transitional cm (creamy/watery) I had last time before ewcm showed up so hopefully I will be getting my ewcm in the next day or two and then hopefully O this time!

 

[ImSoTired]

I hope so Rachel! And I hope you o any day now!

Hope you are right about you Oing soon.

Imsotired- Remember when you told me that two days before is the best timing the first time I thought I O'd?

We just have to wait and see if our bodies and Dh's spermies decided to create a LO this time or not. I can't believe it's like a 20 something percent chance every cycle. That number seems so low. Not trying to be pessimistic, just trying to keep myself from hanging out in the clouds and believing that it's a sure thing every cycle.

My goal is obviously a bfp, but my secondary goal is to get my cycles back to normal so I have more frequent chances to achieve a bfp.

 

[Lovetoteach86]

So at 6:30am my temperature was 97.2, but when I woke up at 8:45am it was 98.1. If I put in 97.2 it takes away my cross hairs and claims I never ovulated, but if I put in 97.7 for time adjustment between 6:30 and 8:45 I still have my cross hairs... also if I put in 97.2 for today and put in a higher temp like 97.8 for tomorrow's temp it gives me my cross hairs back. Why is this so dumb? Now it's making me think I never ovulated. That would just make me want to quit temping all together. I think for now I will leave it as 97.7 for the time adjustment temps and see what tomorrow's temperature is. If tomorrow's temp is still really really low, then I guess ff is right and I never ovulated. Hard to see the good in that situation.

 

[Rachel789]

I really doubt you didnt O. If you woke up at a different time and FF is being that sensitive then I would go ahead and adjust it.

 

[ImSoTired]

I think you definately ov'd lovetoteach. I think it is just a dip in temp. Adjust it if you think you need to, but I've seen a lot of dips in a lot of charts. I think it happens a lot. You've had so many days over your baseline that I know you had to ov. FF is a pain in the ass if you ask me. I've been confused about the whole thing since I began temping but I think the longer you do it the sooner you'll get the hang of it and know for sure when you ov'd or not. I did say that the highest percentage of pg women bd'd 2 days prior to ov. Someone told me that in a different thread. She even gave me percentages. I just don't trust my body and it makes me skeptical. Like maybe my body isn't a good environment for little spermies. I think that my being so skeptical might help me get throught the tww because I always have some doubt. We all know how hard it is to stay positive.

 

[Bean66]

Love to teach. I think you've O'd too but no harm in bding regularly to be safe. Ff has changed my O day before so I know it can be wrong.

Thanks, yall make me feel better. I would be so upset if I thought that I O'd 9 days ago and then all of a sudden it was all just a lie.

Hmm, do you have ovulation predictor kit sticks/strips to test your urine and see when ovulation is? Cycles can get so out of wack because of birth control, we are right there with you. I went 10-11 months without a period after I stopped taking BCPs and have just had my first period December 19th. Good luck, if you have any questions just ask, I am sure someone on here has gone through it.
