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

[JessicaMarie]

So we are constantly missing my actual ovulation day for BDing! We did it 3 days in a row, and I am 90% sure I am ovulating today. It's okay that we dont BD tonight though, right??? Isn't it the most important to do it the days leading up??

 

[Mintastic]

Jessica - yes. Days before are better. In fact day of BFPs note frequently lead to MC.

 

[JessicaMarie]

Thanks, Mint, that makes me feel a lot better! My husband worked a 16 hour shift (that started at 11 pm, so he was up all night and day!). As he was falling asleep and apologizing for not being available to BD, I jokingly told him to quickly do his business and I would just syringe it up, but I was about 25% serious!

 

[Eidson23]

25%

 

[jumpingo]

25%

oh my gosh, it's twice as funny that it's Eidson replying!

i feel like i would totally suggest something like that and my husband would think i'd truly lost it, yet he would comply for my sanity

Hey! We didn't use a syringe the last time!

Thank you so much I've always thought that we kind of have the upper hand. I mean, straight couples, there is no question as to who is going to bear the child. Whereas, we have two shots! If there were something infertile about my wife, after exhausting all options, I could easily take over. It's a little unfair, and I really from the bottom of my heart, wish all you ladies get your soon.

PM tests

Not really sure if I see anything or not...4+ hr hold...

hahaha- my DH said he would just go get started then let me know when he was ready for me... oh so romantic!

hey, sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do!

but really, that goes for guys getting a head start, us being understanding or vice versa and everything in between too. i've decided just to accept that it won't be all romantic all the time, particularly if BABY is the only end goal. lucky for us women that our bodies will still "cooperate" in the whole getting-pregnant-process without being turned on, whereas men don't quite have that advantage.

with that in mind, i say, whatever my husband needs me to do (or not do) to get his part done, i'm on board!

Ladies its one in the morning and for the past 5 mins i keep getting this digging feeling like some is scraping a nail on my right ovary. Its not painful just weird and it starts then stop. Trying not to think too much on it

 

[caringo]

Hmm pretty weird hunni! Hopefully it's something good!

Ladies...this morning my temp was higher than it's been any of the other 68 days of my cycle!! (Well, except for when I was sick!) I think I may have finally O'd!! I probably shouldn't get too excited...I need to wait it out and make sure that my temp stays up, but it's hard not to be excited! Hopefully I get my crosshairs soon!

ooooh, i hope so too!!
only to be in the TWW and have to wait MORE!
but sounds like there's a light at the end of the tunnel

 

[bluefish1980]

Whoo hoo! Let's hope that temp stays up!
Fingers crossed for you caringo!

So I officially marked in my app that I had a +OPK on Wednesday evening even though Im not sure it was completely +. The next morning I found a clump of EWCM and then later in the morning I had cramps on my left side under my hip bone and lower back ache. Since the test was very negative in the evening I think maybe I missed the surge and O'd sometime between Wed night and yesterday afternoon. I thought OPKs would make things easier, not more confusing Hope everyone else is having better luck than me!

 

[caringo]

Thanks ladies!!

Haha, exactly I feel like the TWW will be a piece of cake compared to what I have been facing! I just need to make sure I don't buy any tests until, like, 10dpo, because if I have em, I'll pee on em it'll be interesting to finally see how long my luteal phase is too!

Definitely does sound confusing! I wouldn't worry about pinpointing O exactly...just as long as you BD'd within the window! Sounds like you probably did O yesterday morning abouts, though

 

[DandJ]

Yay caringo! Sounds very promising and I'm curious how long your LP will be too! Hopefully it will be the norm of 14 days, fx for you!

 

[KrissyB]

Macy - That's why I don't like using OPKs alone... If you were temping you'd be able to confirm if that really was the pos or not. If I were you, I might keep taking OPKs just to make sure you truly missed the surge, there's been a bunch of ladies that have had ALMOST positives then lighter OPKs... only to get a true positive down the road.
