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

[smiley4442]

CD 22 with a crazy month. I thought I O'd yesterday. But it was different. Usually I just have a sharp pain in a certain ovary, but yesterday I had a little pain in my ovary but felt some intense pressure and cramping. I didn't even know pressure could accompany ovulation til I read online. Was hoping for a temp jump like last month but it only went up .2 degrees. With the temp jump I for sure knew I ovulated but with it being such a small increase I won't know for sure for the 3 days ugh! Here's hoping that tomorrow's temp is up some. I'm ready for this month to be over. Not feeling confident. I bd'd like crazy when I got my ewcm and watery in the beginning of the week then slacked off toward the end when I actually ovulated.

Crosshairs means we DTD during my window!!!!

 

[hunni12]

@Canada: Yay!! Hopefully this will be your month

@Smiley: Just hang on tight hun

afm, I may be out...still getting the twinges(found the correct word lol) in my right side and now today I have the af heaviness you get when your period is on.

 

[caringo]

My temp stayed up ladies! For some reason FF didn't give me cross hairs but I should be 3-4 dpo!

 

[DandJ]

Yay!! I think crosshairs appear after 3 days of high temps, so you should be getting them tomorrow. Happy for you!!

13dpo today woke up and temp had dropped to 36.1 then had an immediate hot flush and it was up to 36.6 again. BFn well at least I think it was my eyes may have been playing tricks or it could have been an evap line.

Loads of cramping, backache and feeling wet wet wet, watery cm. bb's look out and still nauseous.

I then met a friend and in my 4th coffee I thought oh shoot. Should not be drinking coffee. I normally only drink water.

Anyway now home, still cramping and feeling sick. I'm due tomorrow/Monday. Really starting to think I'm out. Surely the cramps would have quit by now or a BFP would have shown

This morning while I was getting my coffee and minding my own business I had a huge gush of cm. I seriously thought I peed myself LOL. It was watery and mostly clear...had thought maybe it would be EWCM but it isnt stretchy at all. Not sure what to make of it! I wonder if it's fertile CM. Usually have a lot of EWCM but havent seen any since I had the almost positive OPK.

Hi Ladies! I am new to this site. Can I join? Hubby and I have been trying for a year and half. We have been getting some help with IUI. I am 7 DPO and AF is due on 8/23. I have a few symptoms - very hungry, breasts & nipples are getting bigger. I tested this weekend and got a BFN. I am hopeful this month is it after this long journey. Good Luck to all of the August testers!!! :O))

 

[caringo]

Macy - from what I've heard, watery mucus is fertile! Some sources say it's more fertile even then EWCM, either way I think it's a good sign!

Welcome yoga girl! I hope this is your month too! do you chart?

I was a little disappointed this morning to see that my temperature had dropped a bit, I really wanted my crosshairs!! I'm not too worried, though - I know you can get a sep dart estrogen surge after ovulation that makes your temp drop so I'm assuming that's what caused it.

 

[jumpingo]

caringo,

i wouldn't worry because the temp is still higher than any temp pre-O

can't wait for FF to give you cross hairs!!

ETA have you tried switching FF's detection setting from Advanced to FAM (which uses only temps to calculate O) not sure if it'll help or anything but worth switching to see if anything changes...?

Yeah I'm really not too worried!

So I just switched over to FAM and FF gave me solid crosshairs - but a day after when I thought I ovulated. I guess because there has to be 3 temps in a row above the previous 6 days, and my rise on what I thought was CD 1 wasn't higher than a temp 4 days before. Hmm...I'm not sure what to think, but I guess either way it doesn't matter, I should be covered BD-wise!

Hi ladies,

Please help me find some sanity.

I'm now 14dpo and got a BFN this morning on frer. My temps usually sit around 36.4-36.8 Last night i was freezing then it shot up to 37.9 I felt really really sick and the cramps were worse than when I had appendicitis.

This morning my temp was down to 36.1 I haven't temped properly this month as previous months I saw no patter BFP or no ovulation. My hormones may just be in overdrive as it's my first cycle since ovarian drilling.

Oh and usually my cm is creamy at this point and a lot of it, but this time round it's watery; nothing then a gush (tmi) I'm bloated my bowels are sore to press.

I'm not normally this crazy, I promise, I was just convinced this month was the one. It would have been my mc due date today too

What do you think, am I just nuts? Is the turning up tomorrow?

I should add my cycles pre od were 31/32 regardless of ovulation, ov if it took place was on day 17/18 this month clear blue opk pos was on day 12/13 I'm always a 14day lp
