Having trouble keeping up with everyone. Sorry for those whom the witch just drove out of July

Okay...I need to admit something super embarrassing. I totally just POAS even though I am on AF. It was a dollar store one. Obviously it was stark white. My AF was only full flow for 2 days (usually 6-8) and now is only spotting so I irrationally convinced myself that maybe it was just really crazy ib after all and I should POAS just to be safe since I have been drinking extra coffee and stuff knowing I am on AF...
Please tell me I am not the only person crazy enough to have done that??

Woohoo August. Get to BD!!! Dont feel bad Min I have definitely been there before! Better safe than sorry, no harm done!

 

[sweetbliss89]

I have definitely been there before Mint!

AFM - FF gave me my cross hairs this morning! So I definitely O'd early on Cd 12. I had some blood tint in my CM yesterday and this morning though so I'm feeling confused already this TWW

Morning ladies

Has anyone ever heard of someone getting iimplantation cramps while sleep? I had a strong cramp in my dream last night and in the dream i was holding my tummy it radiated from the bottom of my tummy to my vag but if i was dreaming how in the hell did i feel that? Maybe it was just a weird dream..

Ok think I'm just going to join you ladies here even though AF hasn't shown up yet.

I'm 15 dpo and AF should have come yesterday (most likely day) or today but nada. Took a Wondfo HPT with FMU this morning but it was a So I'm confused, especially since my temp is high today at 37.12 celsius (don't have a chart)

I just wish that AF would show if I'm not pregnant so I can go on to my next cycle

By the way I can't use a FRER as they don't sell them in Denmark

 

[Mintastic]

Phew. I knew I couldn't be the only one nuts enough to do that. Thanks ladies. Starting to wonder if I ever actually O'd...

 

[bluefish1980]

Mint - been there done that! I even POAS this afternoon to 'double check' as I had weird AF this cycle and I am now on CD 7!

 

[manifestmama]

Hello ladies, would like to join, I'm on CD2 today. Good vibes to all!!!!

Anyone else using Ovacue monitor? I know its expensive but figure it will also serve as BC when I am breastfeeding. I have used it for 2 cycles when we weren't yet trying, and weren't really trying last month and I forgot to keep using it (vacation) and AF showed up so no biggie. I used to chart but temps were so erratic I had a hard time. Will probably try charting again as I'd like to see if temps increase during that TWW misery

 

[bluefish1980]

Ive never heard of an ovacue monitor before - but since your post, I have been reading up on it and it looks good! Have you had much luck with it?

 

[coolbabe843]

I want to get in more on the conversations around here so i don't go completely mad waiting haha, I dont know how much luck this month will bring, we bd 2 days after AF went away (got pregnant with my daughter years ago) and last night which would be the day before i o but its the only chance i had as my husband works out of town all week.

I have heard nothing but rave reviews about it. It seems to be right on the mark with my other signs (CM, CV, cramping, symptoms).

I will say this about the company - the first one I got was a dud and did not boot up. I emailed and they sent another one right away without question and without receiving the dud first. Frankly, I was in the middle of moving and forgot to send the other one back...didn't do it for almost a month and they didn't give me a hard time at all. The person I was working with also offered lots of support, said she'd be happy to look at my charts, provide advise on usage, etc. I see it as worth the money because I can use it right up until menopause!

 

[manifestmama]

coolbabe, that must be so difficult. This is not my first marriage and I remember times where I wished my DH worked away all week LOL and now when I have to travel for a week for work it is like torture to be away. But day before O is good - that is actually the recommended time! Sometimes day of can be too late.

 

[coolbabe843]

I enjoy the break we get, makes the weekends that much more special haha, we shall see what happens, according to my ticker i am on day 15 or 27 days cycle so i may have just been o'ing, but i aint to sure if i have 27 or 28 day cycles

And sorry, meant to say can't reply on the "much luck with it" part as we haven't been actively trying...yet. I'm such a planner and wanted to time it just right but last cycle we (I) just got so fed up with condoms that I said NO MORE!! My DH has 2 kids and both moms were on BC so we know there is no issue there! I have been using NFP for over 10 years, with one year of BC mixed in that totally messed up my cycle. I decided to use the Ovacue after temping was too erratic. I hear nothing but good things and success stories from other couples though! Hope that helps

 

[bluefish1980]

Thanks. It looks tricky to get it in the uk. I'll keep looking though as my temps are all over the place and I want more clarity with my cycles.

Haha. I love that even AF or spotting is isn't enough to keep many of us addicts from POAS!
