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

[misspriss]

Ladies I want to join! I was WTT til Sept, but at the last minute DH and I decided to go for it this month! We DTD on CD 18 and CD 20, I got a pos OPK and O pains on CD 19 and CD20. I'm counting CD 20 as O day. CM dried up after CD 20.

I am expecting AF between 8/18 and 8/21 (my LP has been getting longer each cycle, I'm breastfeeding). I plan to start testing on my anniversary 8/13, and do ICs pretty much non stop until AF or a BFP...

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!!

welcome Misspriss!

AFM:cd15, dtd this morning (for fun) and used softcup for a few hours. Went to the br an hour ago and had ewcm!! OPK still negative but I usually get ewcm a day or 2 before my positive. Timed that just right! lol

Welcome misspriss!

Ohhhh good luck smiley!


Afm, had some pink spotting last night mixed with a bit of ewcm....my right armpit is very sore(which is usually an indicator of ovulation)...did an frer and bfn so I must have truly o'd on cd5/6 sooo weird but my ewcm is now gone just lots of creamy cm.

Btw my toddler who is one kept pressing on my tummy saying hey baby..so weird..

Looks like I'm out already. No temp rise after a super dark positive OPK. I'm pretty much ready to give up at this point.

Aww...maybe your body just failed to ovulate but will try again soon?

Oooh, sounds promising! excited to see what happens with you smiley!

Haha, let's hope your baby can tell the future

I got some very stretchy EWCM this morning, first time in several days...my spotting has gone down to barely anything since the heavy spotting I got 3 days ago, but the EWCM I got was pretty dark red/brown. My temp is also a full degree higher than it was two days ago. Hope this means ovulation has happened/will happen soon!

 

[hunni12]

Its just crazy to be right back in the tww sigh

 

[Lynny77]

Thanks everyone! It's nice to have so many supportive women to come to!

Smiley looks like we're on the same schedule. I'm cd16 today. My opk on Friday looked like it was a few days away from being positive. Which surprised me- I figured I o late on a normal cycle so this cycle would be particularly late since it's my first post mc. I did another opk yesterday and there was hardly a second line but I'd had 3 pints and was peeing quite a bit lol. A waste of an opk! I'll do another one today!

Hunni hopefully you get your cycles sorted out soon! I'd so love to see you get a bfp.

Bug I had a cycle like that a couple months ago where I had a positive opk but didn't o until a few days later on a second surge. Keep bd'ing

 

[hunni12]

My right armpit is so tender and sore

 

[bluefish1980]

Well, I tried the soft cups..........interesting.

Once in, it was ok. I couldn't feel it. However......when it came to taking it out.....well, I thought I was going to have to go to hospital to retrieve it!!!!!

I was starting to panic and nearly called DH, however, I read the packet and tried one of the tips to push or bear down and I was finally able to hook my finger under it.

Not sure I like the idea of having to reach so far in if using for AF!

 

[smiley4442]

Blue-I wouldn't use it for AF either. The first one I had leakage. We bd in the am and I was moving around all day and it leaked. Last night when I used one it didn't leak but I slept. I remembered having to bare down so I had no trouble removing them. But it was weird.

 

[Mintastic]

Must be a personal anatomy thing. I have used them for AF before and didn't have any leakage or trouble removing. Didn't even have to bear down - just hooked it and pulled right out. Then again I have also happily used applicator-free tampons and also nuvaring for BC so I clearly have no fears when it comes to reaching up there. Lol!

 

[macydarling]

I am trying to catch up on this thread so I know what the heck is going on when I come back.

One thing I did notice--softcups for AF. DO NOT USE THEM FOR AF. Lol. I speak from experience! I did that once and when I finally got my finger hooked around the darn thing it was practically suctioned in there and when it did pop out...holy huge mess everywhere. It looked like a murder scene in my bathroom.

Anyway...back to my catching up. Also-- I started a journal over in the TTC journal section to keep me busy until ovulation so I will be updating there

 

[KrissyB]

Lynny - Sorry for your loss but welcome back

Bug - Looks like you got your temp spike, even if it was a little later than expected!

Smiley - Sounds like awesome timing! Hope the softcups do the trick!

AFM - I am trying hard not to freak out and run to the bathroom all day. The last two months that I've been temping, I started spotting on 6-7 dpo. So if I can make it through today and tomorrow (6&7 dpo), I know - at the very least - that the Vitex is starting to make some kind of difference. FXed

 

[misspriss]

I had the same "spillage" upon removal with softcups for AF, I use a reusable bell shaped cup for AF, much better!

Just waitin here, no symptoms, still just 3dpo!

 

[Bug222]

Yeah it went up today- I'll have to see what happens tomorrow- hopefully it will stay up

 

[Mintastic]

Fx for you Bug that it stays up!

THIS.

I'm sooo fearful it will be stuck up there and have a panic attack as well!

 

[canadabear]

Just catching up with everyone. Starting to feel super positive about this cycle.. But still trying not to get my hopes up too much.
Ewcm and cervix high fertility much earlier than last cycle. Possibly due to taking full prenatal vitamins instead of just folic temps have been a bit all over the place but the high temp the other day could have been because we all slept in so was taken later than usual
Sending to all and just ignore my O ticker for the time being..

 

[smiley4442]

Cd 16 still negative OPK. But it usually is a couple days after I get ewcm before positive. So hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday. Mammograms tomorrow morning and I'm super nervous. Hopefully everything checks out ok.

 

[sweetbliss89]

I am so anxious for those who are trying the soft cups! And I agree, I wouldn't try them for AF haha. I don't even want to imagine.
DandJ - just remember to bear down a little bit and you'll be able to get it out just fine.

I have my FX for all of you ladies!!!

 

[smiley4442]

I wish I could have used preseed with it but we were a little short this week. But I will get it next time if this don't work.

We need more positives this month!
