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

[stellaluna431]

Hey ladies I'm moving over from the July thread. I still haven't O'd, so I won't be testing until August now. Happy to join you!

Skweek - quick question.... has your DH ever had a SA done? We decided to try the soft cups because my DH'S came back that his liquefaction took longer so I figured the soft cup would be able to keep all of the goodness lol closer to my cervix longer so it can liquefy and that way I don't have to stay laying down for an hour or more. Just looking for someone who might have experience overcoming a similar problem.

 

[curiousowl]

Fingers crossed canada and blue!

Yay sweet, lol We need to take our TTC victories where we can get them.

Welcome to all the new ladies!!!

Hmmm, sore nipples at 3 and 4dpo. I know it doesn't mean much at this point but I can't help wondering. I didn't have any of that last cycle with my chemical.

Yes we did his SA when we started fertility investigations. Results came back all normal.
Sorry can't be of more help.

We started BD yesterday @cd12. But my DH says he can't sleep soundly when we BD at night. People BD normally at night, don't they !!! I have a feeling that he is going to give me hard time on the next BD day.

 

[bluefish1980]

Sorry to hear that Fairy. I'm sure you'll be persuasive when it comes to it


Is there another time of the day to DTD? When my DH started saying evening wasn't as good as morning, I said 'we'll, if you want to get up at 5.30am so we have time to BD before work, I'm up for it'. Funnily enough, he decided evening BD was good enough after all!

 

[fairyy]

Setting alarm and getting up to BD and rushing to work isn't fun. Evening time is good. I have to try for evening it seems. Weekend BD is fun, we do it at random time on weekends, after shower sometimes.

Hey all - I'm jumping in for August but I'll probably mainly just be stalking.
The witch has me this week, then I'll be away the following week. I'm starting Vitex this month so we'll see if that helps anything (two months of <10 day LPs), but I'm not temping or trying while traveling, and we've got limited time TTC that I might be fertile after our trip. and I've got an ultrasound on August 13th to rule out Endometriosis, cysts, and fibroids (I've also had dysmenorrhea the past two months).

So all in all I expect this one to be a wash, but I guess there's still a chance

 

[fairyy]

Yes, Krissy there is still a chance as long as you have some unprotected Many women don't have the slightest idea of their fertile days but still mange to get pregnant just having sex on random days.

Boo, big temp dip today at 5dpo. I slept well, normal time so idk. I'm super worried I didn't actually O since today was the first day in several that I woke up without a sore throat so maybe it was just my cold. And unfortunately for me I'm flying home from Australia today so my next few temps will be artificially high due to jet lag. I keep trying to remind myself that my OPKs were fairly clear and my CM pattern was super clear but still worried.

 

[canadabear]

curiousowl - it could be implant dip?? not sure but I think it's possible
Sending your way and hoping it's not an issue

afm: bit of a temp drop today but not getting too worried, still some cramping, but lots of creamy cm and cervix is still high, firm and closed.. here's hoping it stays that way. AF was officially due yesterday, if I go by usual cycle length, but that's not to say it wouldn't be due 'normally' any time this week ..
New testing date is Saturday morning!!

 

[curiousowl]

Thanks canada I've always heard implantation is 6-10dpo but hopefully! Your dip today in fact looks perfectly timed! Not that that's a guarantee but you never know fingers crossed for you!

 

[jumpingo]

got my first cross hairs...!

(aw, baby's growing up and getting crosshairs)

FF puts me at 3DPO. i am confused about when to test though...

last month my cycle was 30 days, but i didn't temp, so does FF just assume a 14 day LP since there's no past data?

it's predicting AF at 15DPO, essentially, even though that will only be CD24 and i usually have 28-30 day cycles. i don't want to start testing too early (last month it was really disheartening) but i also don't think i can wait out AF

what do you ladies recommend?!

Hi ladies. Took me a while to find the latest party thread but here I am :wave:

Just waiting to O after my D&C so should be testing in August sometime.

I see there are lots of new ladies joined in, that's great. Sorry I haven't been stopping in much but had a bit going on as some of you know. Are any of the "old girls" still about? Haven't read through yet.

 

[Bug222]

still waiting on CD1.. so frustrated. Now have had three full days of spotting and im onto 5 days of AF cramping. I just want her to show up already so I can move on to next cycle. I guess my body is just still messed up from my last MC.

 

[canadabear]

Thanks canada I've always heard implantation is 6-10dpo but hopefully! Your dip today in fact looks perfectly timed! Not that that's a guarantee but you never know fingers crossed for you!

I've read that implant can be from 5dpo.. All depends on how long it takes for fertilized egg to travel. Still sending you tons of and hoping your temp comes back up tomorrow.

AFM: lots of nausea tonight.. Just came on suddenly and breasts are really tender. Trying not to read too much into things.. Still cramping lots and other pre-af signs

 

[Tui]

Sorry AF is playing hide and seek with you bug. Frustrating!

Jumpingo, it's difficult to judge your first chart so I think FF just guesses initially. Once you have done a couple it goes on past cycle info. Good luck.

 

[macydarling]

Welcome to all the new ladies!

AFM, I do in fact have a kidney infection (...& tonsilitis..boo). The doc put me on some strong antibiotics so I should be as good as new soon. Im glad I already decided to take a relaxed cycle so Im not freaking out about this. Good luck everyone!
