[hunni12]

I know I hate my dreams and they say animals can sense things...well me and OH were sitting in the car night before last and a cat jumped on the hood of my car and tried to get in at me it was cause I got out the car and ran...needless to say OH died laughing lol

@Caringo: is there anything that can be done to shorten your cycles? It must be torture..

@Martamok: Where are you in your cycle?

 

[martamok]

Hunni, I'm on CD22, 4DPO. I usually ovulate around CD15 but I had a HSG test this cycle and it delayed it by 4 days. Yesterday I had pressure in my lower abdomen almost all day and pain in my back and today no symptoms. Kinda boring lol
What about you?

 

[hunni12]

I had a weird cycle..ended up with a 2 day period. It came on 8/4 by the afternoon of 8/6 it was gone..dtd the night of 8/6 had ewcm and 8/7 had ewcm and a pos opk...ff said I O'd between cd4-6. So I got the ewcm and positive opk on cd4 and by cd6 I had armpit pain that usually confirms O took place and creamy cm.

sooo I should be 6/7 dpo lol

 

[martamok]

Wow hunni, thats crazy I never heard of ovulating so early, but that's so awesome! Wish I didn't have to wait 15 days every month haha
Are you going to start testing soon? Keep us posted with symptoms and pictures!

Hi Ladies,

I had ovarian drilling and cervical dilation 22nd July day 3 of my cycle, following a loss in December and pcos discovery in May.

I Ov'd 2/3rd august so I'm now 11dpo had bfn the last 3 days on the cheap 10mui test, I'm saving my first response ones till Sunday.

I want to ask though, with my mc I got my BFP on 11dpo with frer. What are your experiences with these cheapie ones? I've read bad things.

Ha! Silly cats!

My cycles aren't actually usually THAT long...I'll have maybe two a year like this. I never knew why, but now I wish I would have been charting to see if I ovulated those cycles or not! Usually my cycles are are 30-34 days though.

So I got what I thought was some very clear stretchy EWCM this AM...but then I was thinking about it, and it might be arousal fluid! I did have a "pleasurable" dream in the hour or so before I got up, haha...I was confused because I had gotten a lot of creamy CM yesterday so figured my EWCM would be done, but maybe it was just arousal fluid! Also I've been having a strange dull ache/pressure in what I think is my uterus area...I'm hoping that's a sign of ovulation, whether it was today or yesterday!

I had dodgy evaps and false positives with these. Unfortunately, I have approx. 35 left so I'll keep using them, but I'll be wary from now on.

I even got a line when I hadnt even ovulated yet!

And of course I'm still sticking around! For support PLUS I'm still a POAS addict. My wife refuses to pee on anything anymore so I have to live vicariously through you guys

PM test, 4.5 hr hold. Picasa still down

I can see something light on the 1st one but I can't tell if it has color or not. good luck!


AFM: Such a confusing cycle with crazy temps. This morning when I entered my temps FF gave me cross hairs (ovulating monday) but even with the negative opk's I've been getting I feel when I O and I for sure didn't feel it Monday and when I took my last OPK this morning it was just about positive, and with yesterday's pretty much a positive in the morning (didn't take one that evening) I'm pretty sure the evening one would have been positive. However, My temp this morning was 97.6 which is definitely a post O temp for me. So I think I'm actually 1 DPO. So anyway I'm anywhere between 0-3 dpo lol

 

[Daisy21980]

Thanks Bluefish. I just have a strong feeling I am this month. Although all my symptoms have gone bar the cramps and backache, but that could be a kick back from surgery. Even with pcos my cycles were always 31/32 days ov when I did 17/18. The only exceptions being post mc; ov day 14 cycle 29 and this one, ov day 11/12 which should make for a 27day cycle.

I know it's so unlikely and 3 bins on those cheapies, but over a year of trying now and exactly 9months since the loss.

I'm driving myself nuts spotting every symptom. I never thought I'd be this woman lol

 

[Bug222]

i can't keep up with this thread!!! lol

misspriss- on the links you posted I can see something on the first test but not on the frer you posted- good luck- hopefully you will get a nice dark line in a couple of days

daisy- i use a combination of all different ics - i just use them for initial lines then confirm with a frer or digi (who am i kidding.. both a frer and digi). I have gotten 1 evap in almost 2 years (combined) of ttc. Some women get a lot of evaps on them though.

 

[macydarling]

Alright ladies I need your expertise! My OPK today was a lot lighter than yesterday and the day before. Was yesterday my positive then? Im so confused. Attached are the pic of today's test and all three tests (yesterday's test had gotten darker now, not sure if that matters but you can see it within the time limit at the POAS party thread). Thanks!

Oh and also they were all taken at 5pm after 2 hr hold. The most recent one was after a 2.5 hr hold. Help!

 

[macydarling]

Top pic is today CD 10. The other is CD 8, 9 and 10 from top to bottom.

 

[Bug222]

based on the pics on the POAS party thread I would say yesterday was your pos (you might have peaked soon after you took the test).. sometimes the surge is quite quick so you don't always get a full positive depending on when you are testing.

 

[macydarling]

Thanks Bug. Dang it. I hope we didnt miss it. We BD'd last night. Was planning on BD again tonight but not sure if that will matter at this point. I had wanted to BD the day BEFORE O as well...urgh!

 

[Bug222]

i would still bd today.. the egg is released 12-24 hrs after the surge- so is likely still hanging around in there waiting for some spermies or could have just emerged!

 

[macydarling]

We will! Lol. Can an OPK be trusted after the time limit? I know HPTs cant but...yesterday's looked so close and then a few minutes after the 3 min time limit it was def positive. None of the other days dried darker? Im just wondering if I should "formally" mark yesterday in my Ovia app as a +OPK (it will change all the projections etc if I do...)

 

[Daisy21980]

These 3 have been def negatives. Ah well 14day LP would mean due Sunday, so I'll keep with the cheapies until then and then go on to my frer until I get that line and hope it's sticky this time or AF shows

Macydarline get the clearblue advanced ovulation kits they are really good.

 

[Bug222]

i think its after 10 mins (differs depending on the test) that they are no longer accurate.. so yours could def be considered within the time limit. I usually read mine at 5 mins

 

[macydarling]

Thanks! I wonder why I O on CD 9. Lol that seems so early...if that is true then it is no wonder we havent had any luck. We usually start BDing CD 11-ish :doh:

 

[JessicaMarie]

Macy, hopefully you wont need them and this will be your month, but the Amazon OPKs are super easy for me to read. Have you tried them? The first month, I figured I didnt have an eye for it and that they would be useless, and then one day BAM the line was SO dark, there was no doubt! Obviously hasnt been the magic trick, because I am on my third cycle with them, but at least I am sure when there is +!
