AUGUST buddies~ Symptom Spotting, Girl Talk & POAS party!

[Bug222]

i have been using softcups, i used them when I conceived my son too. A little strange at first but im willing to try anything!!! lol

 

[caringo]

Well, just for kicks I POAS as it was my last cassette one. I am on CD17 and haven't ovulated yet, but I got this......

Its hard to see on the pic, but in real life there is a line that is easy to see. Weird!

There's no way I'm Pg so it has to be an evap right?!

I got something similar very early in this cycle! For me it didn't turn out to be anything...can you test again? Is it possible you have a cyst?

My blood test was negative, of course! Haven't checked "down there" since early this morning, but last night my discharge looked like it was turning reddish pink. Hmm!

 

[ashveg]

Ladies- I just took a First Response and got a BFP! I am still in shock! Good luck to everyone, and thanks for your support!

 

[hunni12]

Yeahhh its time to call the doctor i seen a pregnancy commercial about this women who smoked through her pregnancy and her child had defects let'sjjust say i had a crying spell for 5 minutes

 

[hunni12]

Congrats ash

 

[sweetbliss89]

Congratulations Ash!

Smiley - You really can't put it in wrong, I was worried about that too. Hope this isn't TMI but literally, as soon as you get the first like inch in, I just had to slowly push and it just goes right in so easily and pretty much places itself.

Hunni - Let us know when your doctor will get you in and how it goes! FX for you!

 

[n.miller]

TMI POST:

To all my soft cup users: Eidson, Sweetbliss & bug and anymore, How do you know for sure you have them in right? I put them in for practice while sitting on the toliet, I had it in and walked around and didn't feel them but I could stick my finger in and could feel it with my finger right away. Could this be because my cervix is not high yet since I haven't ovulated? (tmi) When I pulled it out it had alot of cm on it, so would that make it in right since the cm is by my cervix? I didn't really have much problems getting it in so I can see why after you bd it would be even easier to get in.

Yayyyy Smiley!

No, you should be able to feel it with your fingers even with a high cervix. It sits directly behind your pubic bone...it's not meant to go in far at all. I'd say if you can't feel it when you're walking around and it doesn't start to "push" out if you sneeze or something...it's in correctly.

 

[smiley4442]

thanks Eidson! I didn't sneeze or cough while having it in but i couldn't feel it walking around. I pushed it as far as it would go. I guess I expected it to be farther back since I've read people have a hard time reaching them to get them out and I've also read you can have sex with them in and to be honest I don't see how because it looks like it would rub the guy. I'm excited to try them though, and if they don't work by themselves this month gonna try preseed with them next time.

 

[Cheekygringo]

Lol didn't have to test, AF woke me up this morning. Bitch is early, so I get another chance this month.

 

[smiley4442]

sorry cheeky!

 

[Mintastic]

Sorry cheeky!

DH was making excuses not to BD even though we planned to tonight and I said all my temping and everything is pointless if we don't do it enough and it is a very small window and he said
"we've been like nonstop baby-making machines - the window isn't that small."

Sigh... I actually have no idea what he knows about fertility/how many fertile days there are. I didn't want to tell
him too much and be a turn-off/stress him out. I wonder how he thinks it works??
Also "nonstop" = 3x in the last 8days. Nonstop.

 

[sweetbliss89]

Smiley - exactly what Edison said. You shouldn't have to teach too far since it sits there behind the pubic bone. I'd say it was never more than a fingers length back. I'm so glad you're giving them a shot! My plan was to try again with pre seed if they hadn't worked the first month. I'm so anxious to know if they work for you now too haha

Cheeky - so sorry

Mint - My DH got the same way at times. I was so angry. Sorry he's being difficult I just always told DH, one day you're going to wish I wanted it like I do now! Haha

 

[caringo]

Ugh Mint that stinks I understand not wanting to turn him off but maybe he will be more understanding if you explain it all to him? It stinks when DHs aren't cooperative about BDing, but I understand it too...sometimes you're just not in the mood, and you just can't bring yourself to BD! I'd encourage you to try to see it from his point of view - missing your fertile window is one thing, but pressuring your man into sex can cause worse repercussions for your relationship in the long run! Hope you guys can DTD happily soon

Also...I think I'm officially on CD 1! I filled a pantyliner in about 2 hours, so I think it's considered more than spotting. Also, the girls are hurting, which rarely happens, but hoping that's related to typical PMS!

 

[hunni12]

So i thought about lying at the women's hospital so they can do an ultrasound to see what'sggoing on. My bbs still ache n im exhausted. I took a 3 hour nap n still is tired plus the other day i found a big colostrum stain in my bra from the left boob. I have read cd4 is too early for ewcm and a pos opk

 

[arieljones256]

Freaking out! My temp dropped 10 dpo and now their was spotting in my cm. I was SURE this was THE month. Bd all timed perfect everything seemed perfect. Got a bfn 8dpo. Tomorrow is 12 dpo. Going to test with FMU but trying to tell myself to save the fancy test for next moth. Oo the gloom and despair!! I guess af is coming. Bee. Taking prenatals & b12- I was getting horrible cramping, boob pain and mood swings. Ungodly mood swings. I haven't had the first symptom the last two months. I just want my bfp - it's making me crazy. Why is this happening. What is wrong with me? Yadayadayada!! Woe is me ladies. Check out my chart and the big ol let down temp drop. ;(https://fertilityfriend.com/home/4d1714/
